He
                           warned me that the World Wide Web was
                           filled with pictures of every imaginable
                           human perversion but I still wasn't
                           prepared for the first of these photos I
                           ever saw. It wasn't just that the blond
                           girl was completely naked or even that she
                           was lying helplessly on the floor; her
                           arms tied behind her back; her ankles
                           lashed securely together with white cord;
                           white duct plastered over her mouth; her
                           eyes filled with the look of someone
                           dreading what might happen next. No, it
                           wasn't any of these things that first hit
                           me; that made me blush and instantly feel
                           a strange kind of kinship with the girl in
                           the photo.
 
                           
                           
There
                           was no denying what my boss was saying as
                           the image unfolded on the library's newly
                           installed and net-connected computer. I
                           could feel him hovering over my shoulder,
                           breathing hot and heavy and clearly
                           awaiting my reaction. I was stunned and
                           had no idea what to say.
 
                           
                           
"She
                           looks just like you!" he repeated.
                            
                           
                           
I
                           trembled as his body seemed to flood
                           around me like a menacing cloud from
                           behind; his strong arms gently pressing
                           against mine; firmly pressing as he
                           pressed his face close to the back of my
                           neck. 
 
                           
                           
The
                           mouse cupped lightly in my hand felt as if
                           it was steaming, such was the heat and
                           perspiration suddenly radiating from me as
                           I blushed deeply. Again he repeated the
                           words "just like you" clearly intoning
                           each word as if to emphasize it wasn't
                           just her face and hair he was talking
                           about. 
 
                           
                           
"But,
                           you've never seen me...naked," I said. It
                           was impossible to hide the anxiety; the
                           confusion; the weirdly arousing thrill;
                           and a million other sensations surging
                           inexplicably through me. It wasn't meant
                           to sound like any kind of invitation but
                           still I made no attempt to deflect his
                           hands when they reached for the buttons of
                           my blouse. I felt paralyzed; my arms
                           leaden and unable to rise from the
                           desktop. 
 
                           
                           
"Every
                           time I see this photo, I think of you," he
                           was whispering into my ear. 
 
                           
                           
The
                           quiet intensity of what he was saying
                           caused the hair on the back of my neck to
                           stand on end; my body shivering with a
                           rash of goose bumps. It felt so surreal,
                           just sitting there and not doing a thing
                           to stop him from unbuttoning my blouse
                           completely. All I could do was stare at
                           the crisp, bizarre image on the screen and
                           listen to the hypnotic sound of his voice.
                           
 
                           
                           
My mind
                           drifted to Lewis Carroll and the Alice In
                           Wonderland Story. His voice seemed to
                           seduce me into a state where the computer
                           screen became a kind of weird mirror; an
                           image of me sometime in the future; the
                           not too distant future, I felt. I squirmed
                           a little to make easier his removal of my
                           blouse which he discarded somewhere behind
                           me. I closed my eyes for a moment. It was
                           getting "curiouser and curiouser". 
                            
                           
                           
"Every
                           time I see this photo, I think of
                           you...naked. Completely naked. you're so
                           beautiful when you're naked. So sweet, and
                           innocent, and vulnerable. 
 
                           
                           
I was
                           mumbling something incoherently, lost in a
                           delirious world of the fantasy that
                           manifested itself with his words. His
                           hands deftly caught the clasp holding my
                           bra together between my breasts. It all
                           seemed to happen so quickly; me being
                           swept along; dizzy in the eddying
                           whirlpools in my mind. A small and
                           rational voice deep in the recesses tried
                           to regain my attention with warnings of
                           many things; "he's your boss"; "you
                           shouldn't be doing this"; "he's going to
                           strip you naked and tie you up"; "the
                           library is still open and, even though
                           it's late, somebody could walk in at any
                           moment and see you!" 
 
                           
                           
But
                           instead of creating a sense of urgency to
                           escape, my subconscious warnings merely
                           aroused a feeling I've never experienced
                           before. I moaned softly, struggling feebly
                           to hide my breasts which had sprung free
                           when he unhitched my bra. His hands
                           wrapped easily around my slender wrists;
                           his long fingers locking like hot, soft
                           shackles around them as he forced my hands
                           behind my chair. "No! Please, no!" I
                           whimpered softly, making no real effort to
                           break free from his grip. "Somebody could
                           walk in at any second!" I said, my voice
                           half choked from the overwhelming dryness
                           of my mouth and throat. "Really!" I said,
                           more insistently as I felt the cool
                           softness of rope coiling around my wrists.
                           
 
                           
                           
"Maybe,"
                           he said, clearly oblivious to my concerns.
                           
 
                           
                           
It was
                           the strangest feeling once he had my
                           wrists lashed tightly behind my back to
                           the chair. I struggled more frantically
                           knowing I'd never escape the ropes and
                           felt not just more comfortable about
                           protesting more earnestly but excited that
                           my pleas were now more genuine though
                           ultimately futile. 
 
                           
                           
"Oh no!
                           Please! Not my skirt as well!" I said,
                           looking down helplessly as he unhitched my
                           belt and began roughly forcing the skirt.
                           I glanced at the computer screen again. It
                           was like a vortex I was being sucked into;
                           to be as naked and defenseless as the girl
                           on the screen. It was a reflex action to
                           lift my bottom slightly off the seat so he
                           could pull my skirt off. His fingers
                           hooked my flimsy lace briefs as well and,
                           in the blink of an eye, I was almost
                           completely naked. My flat soled court
                           shoes slipped easily off my feet after a
                           brief struggle of final resistance and
                           then, without even realizing it at first,
                           I sensed a rippling chill of an peculiar,
                           never before experienced emotion. 
                            
                           
                           
"Let's
                           get those ankles tied," he was talking but
                           I wasn't really listening. I began
                           twisting and writhing trying to escape his
                           grip around my ankles secretly knowing
                           that my animated actions must surely have
                           accentuated my look of naked helplessness.
                           My heart thumped wildly when he grabbed
                           both ankles and spread my legs lewdly
                           apart. Kneeling as he was between my
                           outstretched legs, I knew he was ogling my
                           pussy. If I hadn't been so breathless, I
                           would have begged him to tie my legs
                           widely apart. I was blushing deeply; my
                           ears and neck burning with embarrassment
                           knowing my orgasm was about to
                           erupt.
 
                           
                           
There'd
                           be no hiding the fact if he tied my legs
                           apart but, for better or worse, he chose
                           to bind them together...just like the
                           helpless girl staring back at me from my
                           computer monitor. We were at last,
                           one.
