Maria entered the hotel room carrying a paper sack. Joseph, sitting in his wheel chair at a table, watched her set the sack down and then pull off her dress.
"Hello!" he said smiling.
Maria gave him an amused smirk, and then kicked off her shoes before padding naked into the bathroom. After a few minutes, Joseph heard the toilet flush and Maria emerged and came directly to him. She settled on his lap and gave him a long deep kiss. Not one to miss an opportunity, Joseph brought his hands up and let them roam the warm nude body pressed against him. When she finally broke the kiss, he didn't let go, instead he held her to him.
"So," he said, catching his breath, "did you have a good afternoon?"
"No, but I plan to make up for it." Maria answered.
Joseph was surprised at her answer. "And how do you plan on doing that, young lady?"
"Joseph, Sir, would you please tie me up. I need a really good tight bondage session."
Joseph didn't answer right away, although he wondered what had happened to her. When he didn't respond, she slipped off his lap and got down on her knees, her head pressed to the carpet.
"Please Sir. Your humble slave requests the pleasure of tight bondage."
This annoyed Joseph. While it was true he had demanded obedience from her during their relationship as Master and slave, he had never felt comfortable with the role playing behavior most of his fellows demanded. Maria knew that such behavior was unnecessary, so why was she doing it?
"Get up." he said evenly, the pleasure of the moment ebbing a little. She sat up straight, on her heels, assuming a slave position she had learned at the Kennel. Her hands she held behind her back while her knees were spread a little. This exposed her sex to him, a view she knew he enjoyed.
"Why don't you tell me what went on today?"
Maria bowed her head. She didn't want to tell him about Peter, but couldn't lie to him either.
"Tell me, Maria."
She decided to tell most of the story, leaving out just the part about the kiss. She felt she could get by without telling him that for the time being, although she knew it would eat at her until she came clean. Joseph didn't get it. It still seemed odd that she would want to be bound after that, and he said so.
"Sir, I just...I can't explain, but it has been a long time since we played, and...I just need it."
"Well, there isn't much to tie you up with here." he answered.
Maria smiled and asked permission to break position, which he gave. She jumped up and ran to the sack. She brought it back to him and resumed her kneeling position. Inside the sack Joseph found several bundles of rope and rolls of tape. Maria had evidently been to a hardware store. He smiled, and shook his head. Sometimes he really wondered who exactly WAS in charge of their relationship.
"Alright, get on the bed."
Maria laughed and got up to obey.
It took Joseph a while to finish binding Maria up, partly because of the awkwardness of working from his wheel chair, but mostly because he wanted to enjoy the process.
Maria now lay ball tied on the bed. There were coils of rope around her legs at ankles, knees and thighs. A crotch rope was tied between her legs, digging deep into the soft folds of her sex, the rough rope she had bought irritating that sensitive area constantly. Her ankles were connected directly to the crotch rope, causing her to pull it even tighter into her if she tried to straighten her legs. Maria's arms were bound behind her at wrist and elbow. Joseph had succeeded in pulling her elbows together and used a great deal of rope to hold them that way. He knew she wouldn't like it for long, but an element of discomfort was his signature in a tight bondage session and Maria was aware of that. She knew that the rest was worth it. Joseph had bound her breasts lightly and tied them directly to her knees, this kept her from straightening out even more. He finished by putting together a make shift gag out of her underwear and some rope, and added her blindfold to top it off.
Now he sat and watched her, occasionally caressing her bare skin, tweaking a nipple, rubbing her labia. It made her shiver and tense up in her bondage, and he enjoyed watching how her muscles fought their restraints. He would leave her alone to enjoy it shortly, but for now he couldn't resist.
"You know, I think tomorrow we should see about getting your piercings redone. Those rings of yours were so helpful."
Maria laughed behind her gag, not that she could do much else. Reluctantly, Joseph turned away and wheeled himself back to the table where he had been doing some business on his Laptop. He glanced at the closed window shades and got an idea. A moment later he opened them, letting in the warm sun, flooding the room with light.
They were on the first floor, their room facing the back of the hotel. A footpath went by about thirty feet from their window, but even then it just might be possible for someone to see into the room, especially as well lit as it was right now.
He looked over at Maria, who struggled a little against the ropes. The sun fell directly on her, and he knew that she was feeling it's warmth on her bare skin. She would be horrified at being exposed like this, and knowing that made him smile some more.
As she pulled and tugged and generally enjoyed herself, he turned back to his work.
An hour later found Maria free of her bondage, but not of Joseph's will. Joseph had untied her and helped to rub some of the soreness from her limbs, before having her dress to go out. It was getting to be supper time and he was getting hungry.
He didn't plan on leaving the building however, instead he told her that they were eating in the hotel's own restaurant. That was fine by Maria, until he told her what she was to wear.
She almost protested, but a look from Joseph killed that notion. She saw that he was in full dominant mode and more alive than he had been since he was shot. She didn't know if it was going to help him heal any faster but she intended to help him by cooperating as much as she could. This meant obeying him exactly as she had in New York.
Shaking her head she dressed as he asked and wheeled him out the door. They had to pass through the lobby to get to the restaurant, and the desk clerk did a double take when she saw them come through. The gentleman in the wheelchair was dressed normally enough in tan slacks and a white shirt, but the lady pushing him wore a bright red bikini top that seemed to be fighting a losing war in it's efforts to hold it's contents in, and a light, almost see through skirt that flowed around her legs and seemed to float in the air. Looking closer, the clerk couldn't be sure if she was wearing anything under it or not. If she was it certainly wasn't the same color as the top.
As they entered the restaurant heads turned there too, but Joseph ignored them, while Maria tried to avoid any eye contact at all. She was tremendously embarrassed, and was sure that it was plain to everyone in the room that she wore no underwear at all. Of all the things Joseph liked to do with her, this 'almost' public nudity always got to her the most. She had managed to come to terms with some of his other games, even to the point of enjoying most of them, including being on full display for his friends in the New York BDSM community, but this was the one thing that made her react the most. It wasn't as if she hated it, it was just hard for her to deal with her BD kink in such a public way.
Joseph knew very well what this was doing to her, and loved it. He had her push him to a table to one side of the room, and positioned himself so that she had to sit with her back to the other patrons.
A waitress came and took their orders and while they waited for their food they talked about her bondage session and how it felt. Joseph was always curious about what went through someone's mind as they lay helpless, but Maria had never been able to convince him to try it himself.
As they talked he let his eyes wander up and down her body, quite revealed in the outfit she wore. On her arms, legs and torso were dark red lines, leftovers from the ropes that had held her immobile in their room, it would be a while yet before they faded away. He would also look out at the other diners, and smile when he caught one staring at her. It was a pleasant meal. When it was time to leave, Maria got up carefully and readjusted the sarong, for that was what it was. The material was just wrapped around her waist and tucked in like someone would tuck in a towel, not fastened at all! Maria knew that if she caught it on anything it would pull away easily. In fact, the material was so slick, it had trouble holding on to itself and if she didn't keep adjusting it it would fall off all on it's own.
Joseph noticed her movement, and Maria seeing this began to blush even more.
"Now Maria, this should be nothing to someone who came here last night naked." Joseph said in a normal voice.
Shocked, Maria glanced around at the other people in the room, but no one gave any sign that they heard. She gave Joseph an 'I'll get you' look and he laughed all the way to the door.
As they passed through the lobby once more she saw the entrance to the pool and had an idea.
"Could we go swimming for a while?" she asked, "I think it may do your back some good and the doctors did say you should keep exercising."
Joseph looked up at her face. He knew he was playing a nasty trick on her making her dress this way, and she was being so good about it that she deserved a reward. "Sure. Lets go to our room so I can get changed first."
Maria smiled and soon they were back in their room.
She helped him undress and put on a swimsuit, before reaching into their luggage and pulling out the matching bottom to the top she was wearing. "Wait." Joseph said, and Maria paused. Joseph's evil grin was back. "I'll give you a choice. You can either go to the pool dressed just as you are, or you can put on those bikini bottoms and leave the sarong here. Either way you don't touch a towel until we come back here."
Maria gulped, and looked down at the scrap of cloth she held. The bottoms for this suit were not very big at all, they barely covered her pubic mound and the thong part did nothing to cover her ass at all! She thought she might get away with wearing them in the water, but hoped to have the sarong to cover up with for the walk to and from the room. Yet wearing only the sarong had it's own problems. She couldn't swim in it, which meant that she had to hope the pool area was deserted so she could take it off and get in the water. Even if she did manage to get to swim, it would cling to her and turn even more transparent once she was wet.
With a sigh, she dropped the bottoms and once again took hold of the wheel chair. "You're an evil, evil man, Joseph Booth." she told him, concealing her smile from him.
With a smile of his own he was ready to agree.
The pool wasn't deserted, there was a couple swimming and laughing on the far side.
Maria wheeled Joseph over to the hot tub which was set flush with the floor.
"I think this will help loosen you up a bit." she told him, and he agreed. With her help, he slid off the chair and into the water. Maria did the best she could to steady him, but was very conscious of the people across the pool area and the fact that she was practically baring her ass at them.
"Start the jets will you, and come in, it's great!" Joseph said.
Maria went and pushed the button and the water started to boil. Her heart was racing. Nervously she watched the couple in the pool, they seemed to be occupied and not looking her way. She quickly dropped the sarong and slid into the hot tub beside Joseph.
He was right, it did feel good, and soon the hard jets of water pummeled the stiffness from her muscles. The rolling water made it impossible to tell that apart from her top she wore nothing at all! She began to relax. She felt a caress between her legs and opened them a bit to allow Joseph's hand better access. His fingers felt great and she had closed her eyes to better enjoy their action on her clit when she heard a splash next to her. It made her jump and open her eyes.
"Oh, sorry." said the man standing in the tub in front of her. It was the couple, they had gotten out of the pool and had come over. "You don't mind if we warm up a bit do you?"
"Not at all, come on in!" said Joseph.
The man smiled and sat down, his companion, a pretty woman, climbed in too and soon the couples were facing each other.
They introduced themselves as Paul and Cindy, and Joseph offered their names in return. All through the introductions Maria was speechless because though it all Joseph never let up on his assault on her clitoris. She was horrified, but also very excited. She didn't know if she wanted him to stop or not! Paul and Joseph started talking about business, while Cindy just sat back in the water and watched the men and Maria with a smile on her face. Occasionally Paul would ask her something, but otherwise she stayed out of the conversation, as did Maria.
The men apparently had similar business interests and were in animated conversation when the timer on the water jets ran out. The water stilled and became clear.
Maria's face felt like it was white hot with embarrassment when it was revealed where Joseph's hand was. Then she looked down.
Paul's hand was half in the pussy of his very red faced wife, her bikini bottom missing until Maria saw it tucked in the waist band of her husband's shorts.
"It seems," said Joseph, "that great minds DO think alike." The four of them laughed, although the laugh came a lot easier for the men than the women.
"Someone needs to go start the pump again." Paul said with a smirk.
"Alas..." Joseph answered, inclining his head toward his wheelchair.
"I understand," Paul said, and looked at his wife. She looked down at the water for a moment, and then, without a word, climbed out and strode bottomless to the button. The jets were started and the men resumed their conversation. Cindy climbed back in, and the two women locked eyes. Each of them wondered about the other.
After a time, Paul whispered in Cindy's ear, and she whispered back. They conversed like this for a moment, then Cindy settled lower into the water until only her head showed. Paul reached behind her, and seconds later her yellow bikini top floated on the water in front of her, held in place only by the strap around her neck. Cindy still blushed, but held Maria's gaze. The men continued to talk, but their attention was drawn toward the non speaking women. I seemed to Joseph that a gauntlet had been thrown, and that Maria was seriously considering picking it up.
Sure enough, she sunk down of her own accord until the water was up to her neck, and Joseph obliged by undoing the catch of her top. Unlike Cindy's, Maria's top did not have a neck strap, nor did it fasten in back. The catch was in front and to show it had been undone Joseph pulled it free entirely and laid it out on the side of the tub.
Cindy glanced at her husband, who pulled at the knot behind her neck and in seconds her top lay on the side with the bottom Paul had placed there while she was up.
Now it was evident to everyone that the women were naked under the water, with only bubbles to protect their dignity.
Maria wasn't sure why she was doing this. It had been a big day already, with several different kinds of bondage, Peter's kiss, and that embarrassing display in the restaurant. But now she didn't know if it was pure hornyness pushing her where she wouldn't normally go, or just a long forgotten competitive nature brought to the surface by the woman sitting across from her. In any case, her fate was also in the hands of the men sitting next to them. She wondered what they were going to do.
She didn't have to wait long.
Casually, Paul gathered up Cindy's swimsuit in one hand, and tossed it into the swimming pool. Cindy glanced over at her husband with a surprised look on her face and then smiled and nodded at Maria.
Joseph watched Maria's face, looking for any indication that she was about to quit, but seeing nothing, he too tossed Maria's top out into the pool. Paul switched topics and asked Joseph about how he got the wheelchair. This wasn't something that Joseph liked to talk about, so he lied about falling off a horse which prompted the inevitable discussion about Christopher Reeve, the actor who had done the same thing and had injured his neck. As they talked, the men again began manipulating their women.
That was when Thomas came in.
"Hi folks!" he said, not noticing at all that two of his audience were completely naked, although he did recognize Maria and did his best to avoid direct eye contact. "I just want to let you know that I just came on and that I have towels at the desk if you need them. Oh, and the pool closes in half an hour."
"Thanks." said Joseph, who just had an idea. "I think somebody left their stuff in the pool, it's been floating around for a while now."
Thomas looked at the pool and saw the empty swim suits. "I'll get them, don't worry about it." he said, and walked over to where a long pole stood in a corner. Using it, he reached out and snagged all the garments from the water and carried them out with him.
The women watched him wide eyed, not willing to tell him that he was carrying away their only clothing.
Joseph began to laugh.
Paul smiled and shook his head. "Never had anyone do that before," he said.
"You've done this before?" Joseph asked him.
"Sure," Paul admitted. "Whenever we travel we try out this little game. Most of the time we get no takers, but occasionally we find a couple willing to at least go part way, and a couple of times it has gotten to this point. But usually Cindy and the other woman end up in the pool going after their suits." Cindy was smiling, but she couldn't hide the worried expression on her face.
"I'm sorry if we went to far." she told Maria in a surprisingly deep voice.
"That's okay, I've been in worse situations." Maria replied, thinking briefly of her time under Atamo's thumb.
That's when the timer ran out again. Now both women were completely revealed to each other and to the men.
"Your turn," Cindy said with a shrug.
A big grin appeared on Maria's face. "Actually, I really came here to swim!" She stood up, ignoring the amazed looks of both Paul and Joseph, and got out of the tub. She walked with her hands loose at her sides and then dove into the pool, crying out with the cold.
"Yow!"
Cindy then stood up as well. "Sounds good!" She got out and quickly followed Maria into the water.
The men looked at each other, "Quite the lady you have there," Paul said, "and beautiful too." He didn't mention the scars he thought he saw. He concidered it none of his business.
Joseph bowed his head in acknowledgment.
"I don't suppose the two of you...?" Paul asked.
"No, sorry." Joseph didn't need a road map to see where Paul was leading.
"Too bad. Still, it doesn't hurt to ask." laughed Paul. The men watched the women swim for a bit, then Cindy mentioned that they had to leave soon.
"Can you go get our swim suits?" Cindy asked her husband.
"Oh no. You have to get them yourself." he answered with a grin.
"Screw you! I'm not going out there naked."
"Wait, Cindy." Maria said, "I have a plan."
Thomas was on the phone when the door to the pool opened. He looked up to see the two women that had been in the tub.
His jaw dropped.
All they had on between them was a wet, almost transparent piece of thin cloth that they shared by wrapping it around their waists. It stuck to their skin leaving very little doubt that they were both naked underneath it. Not only that, they were both topless. Tom glanced around the lobby, thankful that no one else was there.
"Hi, Tom." said Maria, "We need towels."
Open mouthed he dug below the counter and handed a pile of towels to the other woman. Maria smiled and the two of them went back into the pool area. Inside the women separated, Maria keeping the sarong, and Cindy and Paul began drying themselves off. Maria dropped the sarong and got back into the hot tub.
Wrapping a towel around herself, Cindy thanked them for the interesting evening.
"Yeah, thanks guys." Paul added. "We'll be here a couple more days if you're interested in playing again."
"We'll see." Joseph said. Maria waved and the couple left the pool area.
"Well." said Maria.
"Well." said Joseph.
"Want to stay until they throw us out?" she asked him.
"Sure. I still haven't gotten my swim in."
With a laugh, Maria stood up and helped her clothed lover out of the tub and
into the pool.
