The Things we do for Love
You may be asking why I do this? Or at least you’d ask that if you could speak. The main reason is love! Okay, I know it sounds cheesy, but I’m a cheesy guy! Let me explain. This job is awesome! I am my own boss, I don’t have to waste away in a cubicle or have to say “thank you for coming” while dead inside. I get to decide my own schedule. Take interesting challenges. Go to different places and meet a lot of cute guys. And get to tie up most of them! True, this job may be “illegal,” and I may have a bounty or two on my head. But the benefits outweigh the drawbacks! And if not for this job, I wouldn’t have met my best friend and partner in crime, Nico! And yes, I am aware that Nico claims I kidnapped him. And it’s true I might leave him chained to the radiator if he gets too annoying (trust me, you would too if you had him as a roommate!). But in my defense, that whole kidnapping thing was a long time ago! Nico could leave whenever he wants… as long as he isn’t chained. And also, I’d like to point out that he volunteered to be my mission control guy! And he’s good at it! So yeah, don’t listen to what he says, he just likes to be dramatic!
Now, that brings us back to love! I usually take on jobs that pay well; no need to risk my neck for a few bucks. But sometimes I decide to take on personal projects. The rewards might not be that big on the material side, but they more than make it on the human side of things. Like this job! I have conducted heists in museums, banks, and billionaires’ compounds, stealing millions of dollars! So why am I stalking this run-down convenience store with a gas station attached? The answer is the man currently slowly dying behind the counter. Not sure what his name is. But I’ve been watching him for a while now. He is in his early twenties, not even sure if he is old enough to drink. Stuck in this crappy job to pay his way through a degree he doesn’t even like. His boss usually leaves the store by 7, leaving him in charge of the night shift. I’ve seen this guy for a few weeks now, always looking at the distance with a bored expression, barely acknowledging any customer who walks in. Probably wishing he were anywhere else than here. I’ve only seen him get excited when his shift is over. And when Nico shows up.
Seriously, Nico always shows up at 11:30 to get some Red Bulls. And every time Nico walks through the door, Blondie’s face brightens up, and life returns to his eyes. He’d practically be wagging his tail if he had one. I’m pretty sure he was a golden retriever in his past life. Meanwhile, Nico gives grumpy cat vibes. But I digress. My dear friend usually turns bright red whenever he and Blondie speak; seven out of ten times, he’ll drop something or trip over his own feet. Then he’ll pay and practically run out of the store. Nico might be a genius with computers, but it’s almost painful watching him interact with other human beings. I’ve tried to give him a slight push towards his obvious crush, but Nico keeps insisting that nothing is going on between them. A statement undermined by Nico turning redder than a tomato. So, being the best friend in the world, I’ve decided that drastic measures are needed.
As expected, Blondie didn’t even raise his eyes from his phone when I walked in. He didn’t even acknowledge me until I was standing right in front of the counter. That’s when he finally spoke in a monotone voice. “Welcome to Jerry’s, are you ready to- GAHHHH!” Yeah, that seems like an appropriate response to finding a masked man holding you at gunpoint. The guy jumped away from the counter, raising his hands. Despite the clear concern in his voice, I’m surprised he kept his cool, talking to me in a steady voice, “Listen, man, take everything you want! I won’t do anything! Trust me, I’m not getting shot for this dumpster!” Honesty, I like it!
“Hello!” I cheerfully waved with the hand that wasn’t holding a gun. “You know the deal, this is a stickup, yada yada, don’t try anything funny, and- are those O’Henrys? Man, these were discontinued!” I grabbed a fistful. “How much are they?” Blondie blinked, confused for a few seconds, “Oh, right! I’m robbing this place! I can take them with me for free!”
“Yeah, totally. They are all yours!” Blondie nodded. By this point, I should say that I finally looked at his nametag. Chase. That was his name. “Although they’ve been there since I started working here. So, eat them at your own risk!”
“Don’t worry, I’m willing to take the risk!” I opened a package and shoved a bar of sweet chocolate in my mouth. “Nnmm, mnfm phn phhm hnch phphnrm!” I mumbled with my full mouth. Chase blinked, confused. Right. Maybe should have eaten after taking care of him! “HNCH PHPHNRM!” I exclaimed, waving my gun towards the door behind him.
“Uh… you want me to go to the back room?” I nodded. Chase gave me a concerned look, not sure if for himself or me, and marched towards the door. I diligently followed him and let him open the door into a small, sad room. There were several shelves with merchandise, and in a corner was what passed for a staff room: an old couch, a metal table, and two wooden chairs that seemed to have been scavenged from a garage sale.
“Man, they don’t give you anything in this job?”
“Hate it,” Chase admitted, “But pays the bills. Barely. So yeah, if you want to trash the store…” he got distracted for a moment when he saw me drag one of the chairs towards us. “Uh… yeah, trash the store. Take anything you want. I won’t get in your way-”
“Take off your clothes!” Chase blinked for a moment. I’m starting to see what Nico sees in him. His confused face is adorable. “Don’t make me repeat myself. Take off your clothes.”
“Uh…” Chase looked down at his polo shirt, a blush spreading through his cheeks. “Why?”
“Because I’m the man with the gun!” I said, pointing my gun at Chase’s forehead.
“Excellent point!” he squeaked and started undressing. I watched as his fingers fumbled to remove the red polo shirt and tossed it on the couch, followed by his undershirt. Chase had some muscle mixed with fat. Not overweight by any account, he gave the vibe of someone who used to be in great shape back in high school but had drunk too many beers in college. He is still attractive. His scruffy look certainly helps. Chase continued undressing. He undid his belt, kicked off his shoes, unzipped his jeans, took a deep breath, and pulled them down. He slowly stepped out of them, remaining in his boxers and socks. “Really? Couldn’t you have chosen something fancier for today?” I asked, glancing at the baggy grey boxer shorts he was wearing.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know I was going to be forced to undress at gunpoint today!” Chase exclaimed, hugging his arms as if that would cover anything. I was kind enough to let him keep his underwear on. Normally, I like them in their birthday suit, but figured this time Chase and Nico might want to keep some mystery. I motioned to the chair, Chase gave one last look at my gun, and sat down, facing away from me.
“Hands behind your back!” The chair had a low backrest, so Chase was able to pull his arms over it.
To his credit, he didn’t ask what I was going to do. That has always been a pet peeve of mine! Like, your hands are behind, and I’m pulling out ropes, what do you think I’m going to do? Anyways, I pulled out a coil of hemp rope from my duffle bag and began wrapping it around Chase’s wrists. “Hey, man, you don’t need- fuck that’s tight- uhh… You don’t need to tie me up. You have a gun, and I’m half naked. I promise I won’t get in your way!”
“I believe you!” I ruffled his dirty blonde hair. “But I’m just making sure you really don’t get in my way!” I grinned and looped a rope over his chest, just below his pectorals. I looped it a few times, then ran it above his chest. I finished by running the rope under his right armpit, pulling it behind his neck and under his left armpit, cinching the chest harness. All the while, Chase’s eyes kept following my rope work.
“So… this isn’t your first rodeo?” Chase asked awkwardly, his eyes were set on how his pecs bulged under the ropes.
“Nope, after a while you get pretty good at restraining people,” I grinned as I ran more ropes around his waist, binding him to the chair and securing his wrists behind.
“You rob shitholes like this a lot?” I could see Chase subtly rotating his shoulders as he tested the ropes. I’d be personally insulted if he managed to escape!
“Not usually, my targets tend to be on the high-end spectrum.” While listing a few of my jobs, I crouched down to tie up Chase’s ankles to the front legs of the chair.
“Wait, you are the one behind the Royal Diamond robbery?” Oh yes, one of my favorites! Three cute security guards ended up getting closer to each other while trapped in the janitor’s closet. But back to the current job! I looked up, and Chase was staring at me in awe, as if a celebrity was holding him hostage. But what I found more interesting was below his torso. With his legs spread, I could see the tent growing in his boxers. Nico knows how to pick them. As the awe wore off, Chase furrowed his eyebrows. “Wait, then why are you robbing this dumpster?”
“I have my own reasons,” I shrugged.
“Like what, because I can assure you less than a hundred bucks is in-uh, why did you take off my sock?” he looked as I peeled off one sock from his left foot and balled it up. With my other hand, I retrieved a roll of duct tape from my bag.
“Wait!” Chase pressed his back against the chair and pulled his neck backwards. As if that could help him! “You don’t need to gag me!”
“Why not?” Chase furrowed his eyebrows, trying to come up with a good reason.
“Alright, you do need to gag me. But at least be careful with my ha- mphhh!” I shoved the sock inside his mouth, then ripped one end of the tape and started wrapping it around his lower face, getting annoyed grunts from my captive. Well, if he didn’t want his shaggy hair tangled, he should have gotten a haircut beforehand. And shave that stubble! I feel bad for him when he has to remove the tape! Once I was done, my captive looked nice and quiet. He even humored me with a few grunts to test his gag!
I stepped behind him, resting my hands on his shoulders. “Not going anywhere?” Chase nodded. I grinned and let my hands slowly slide down his broad chest.
“Mphhhh…” Chase whimpered and closed his eyes. My fingers brushed his nipples, getting another soft moan from him. Cute. I let my hand linger over his crotch for a bit, then I abruptly grabbed his crotch. “HMMM!” Chase’s eyes opened wide, his face turned bright red, and he reflexively tried to jerk away, but the ropes yanked him back.
“First time tied up?” I asked, still holding his hard crotch. Chase looked up at me with those adorable wide eyes. His breath was heavy as he weighed his current situation. “Feels good?” Chase looked down and nodded. I didn’t need him to reply since I could feel his reaction, but I appreciate the honesty. It took Nico a lot of work to get him to admit it, and even then, he still tries to pretend to hate it from time to time. “Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me.” I rubbed his crotch, feeling that thing under his boxers growing harder. Chase tensed his body and let out a nervous moan. “It happens more often than you’d think,” I assured him. He looked up at and let out a soft moan. “Don’t worry, you’re not the first one getting turned on by this. Why don’t you just enjoy the ride?” Chase moaned again. His muscles flexed against the ropes, yet he slowly thrust his hips against my hand. It seemed he took my advice!
Unfortunately, I couldn’t let him finish just yet, so I had I let go of his crotch. Not sure if the moan that escaped his mouth was of relief or disappointment. He looked up at me with an expectant stare, as if asking What now? “You’re going to sit there and be a good boy, right?” Chase eagerly nodded. “Don’t go anywhere!” I love that joke! I gave the bound guy facing away from the door one last look and walked back into the store. As soon as I was out, I removed my mask and checked my phone: 11:20. Ten minutes before Nico shows up.
That’s when the real party begins.
