MUSICAL CAPTORS

BY JILL THE SUB

[ part 3 ]

Scott & L. A.

Elaine was one of those “cooler than thou” kids who did everything first, said everything first, had everything first. She wasn’t just a trend setter, she was the shark’s dorsal fin that showed where cool was, but only the shark knew where it was going, and everyone else was just caught in the wake. As just one example, a long time ago she dropped the “ne” from the end of her first name, so now she was just “Elai”, and pronounced it L. A., like the city. As another example, Elai had already entered puberty, and her chest was developing. Jill was just entering puberty, and couldn’t really stake a claim to heterosexual or homosexual, and was still trying to figure out what it all meant and where she fit in. All she knew was that even before Elai wanted Scott, Jill had wanted Elai. And since her neighbor had started dating her daydream, nothing had made sense anymore, and she was dying a little each time she saw them together.

Amanda was confused. “You can’t love L. A. She’s a girl!”

Jill sighed. “I know that, Amanda. But…well, I don’t know how else to put it. I mean, you love your mom, right?”

“Of course.”

“And you love your Aunt Karen.”

“Of course.”

“So, girls can love girls, and in fact we do all the time. We just want to act like we can’t for some reason. I just think love is a lot stronger than people give it credit for. I think it can be a lot of things, and can show in a lot of different ways. Like…like in that movie we just saw, Bound. Those were two girls, and they loved each other. I just don’t think it only happens in movies, is all. I don’t know, maybe I’m not making any sense.”

Amanda was quiet a long time, then slipped her arm around Jill in a hug. “It’s okay, Jill. And, Jill?”

“…what?” came a quiet voice.

“I love you, too.”

Jill turned to accept the hug, and embraced Amanda with all her strength, crying on the little girl's shoulder. After a moment or two, Jill had her composure back. “Boy am I glad I saved a couple of these,” she joked, pulling a bandanna out of her back pocket. She wiped her eyes and dried her tears, and blew her nose noisily in it. “Eww, let’s not use this one for a gag anymore.” And she and Amanda broke up in giggles, and went inside to fetch the lemonade.

Coming back outside, Scott joined them and drank thirstily. Jill had been hatching ideas. “Say, Scott,” she began slyly, in almost a perfect imitation of Scott’s earlier plan to lay out of school for the day. “You and Elai weren’t supposed to go out until later…and now you have all this extra time…and no parents around.”

Scott perked up. “Yeah?”

“Well, I was thinking…what if we surprise L. A. and include her in our game of prisoner?”

Scott swallowed hard and felt another painfully tight erection coming on, as his dick fought to break free of his pants and destroy downtown Tokyo.

“She doesn’t know I’m here, right?”

“Actually, I told her you were here watching Amanda.”

“Oh. Well, I guess that doesn’t matter, it would still be a surprise. We could just pretend that everything was normal- normal for us, anyway- and when she came in, we could all gang up on her and tie her up!”

“I don’t know if she’ll like that.”

“Oh, come on, Scott. Amanda liked it and you didn’t warn her before hand, right? And we’re only playing, right? And…and…if she doesn’t like it, we’ll just let her go and no harm done, okay?”

Scott didn’t even register that Jill was trying to sell him on this idea. He was trying to get bloodflow back to his brain. “Yeah, okay, that sounds like a plan.”

And so they did. When Elai came to the door, Scott answered it and hugged her hello, then steered her into the living room, where Jill & Amanda were waiting. As Elai opened her mouth to say hello, suddenly all 3 of them grabbed her and whisked her over to the couch. Before she could even scream in surprise or protest in outrage, they were tickling her and holding her down. Jill tossed Elai’s purse to the side, Scott held her hands together, and Amanda sat on her legs, pinning her to the couch. Jill got a bright orange bandanna tied around her wrists, as Amanda started taking off her shoes, tossing them away. Scott was tickling Elai, who was too surprised to get her breath back. Amanda held her feet together so Jill could pin them with a loop of twine they had prepared, but Elai kicked that apart as soon as Amanda let go of her feet.

Since plan A fell through, Jill went for the long white dishtowel they had used as a gag earlier. She was able to tie up Elai’s feet with that, and Jill gave Scott the thumb’s up sign, so he let Elai catch her breath.

“Scott, what the hell are you doing??” she screamed at him.

“I told you earlier that we were playing prisoner games with Amanda. Now you get to be part of the game.”

She glared up at him, still panting and furious, more from the initial shock of being attacked than anything else. “You should have given me some warning, or asked if I wanted to play. You could’ve broken my neck throwing me on the couch like that!”

“Okay, okay, you’re right. Bad move on our part. Sorry about that.”

“Good. Now untie me.”

“Can’t you get loose?”

Elai struggled for a few minutes, thrashing and pulling. “Umm, no, I can’t. Untie me.”

“Well,” Scott said, considering. “Prisoners usually don’t get a vote on being untied. But I’ll give you a choice. I could let you go- but there are punishments for ending the game early and being a bad sport. Or you could play with us- and there are rewards for prisoners and early parole for good behavior.”

“So, you’re saying you won’t untie me? I have to play no matter what?”

“No, just you have to choose.”

“You said you’d punish me if I didn’t play- what’s that mean?”

“No, not playing IS the punishment- because you don’t get the good prisoner rewards. Come on, Elai, don’t be a wuss. Give it a chance.”

Elai didn’t think much of kids games, but whatever. She knew by going along with this, she’d have leverage the next time she wanted to force Scott to do something he didn’t want to. “Fine, I’m your prisoner, please don’t hurt me, whatever shall I do.”

Jill, who was waiting to see how Elai reacted, and didn’t want to say anything one way or the other for fear of taking the blame if Elai didn’t want to play along, said, “With acting like that, maybe we should just gag her.”

Elai glared at Jill, but Scott intervened. “No, I have a better way to shut her up.” And bent down to kiss her.

“Eww, gross!” shouted Amanda.

“Yeah, ewww, gross,” said Jill, less loudly.

“Well, you two don’t have to stay to watch. In fact, umm, Jill, now we both have a prisoner to attend to. You can take Amanda out for more exercise yard time if you want.”

“Shiny!” said Amanda, and was ready to bounce out to the driveway b-ball court again. Jill said, “I’ll be right out, Amanda. I’m gonna, ummm….go the bathroom first.”

Jill didn’t go to the bathroom, but to Scott’s parents’ bedroom. She crept in cautiously, like Scott’s parents would walk in on her any minute, and went to Scott’s mom’s nightstand. Jill opened the bottom drawer, and took out the cigar box she knew was there and put it up on the bed. She went to their bathroom, and brought back a small jar of vaseline and some towels and washcloths. She laid everything out on the bed.

While Jill was rummaging around in the bedroom, Scott was introducing Elai to some of the “rewards” of being a prisoner. He hugged her, but she couldn’t hug him back. He petted her chest, and could feel a response. He kissed her, and she kissed back, but couldn’t touch him, couldn’t hold him. He crept his hand up under her shirt, and released her bra.

“Scott, don’t…”

“Looks like I’ll need that gag again,” and he kissed her again, this time, trying very subtly, to work the tip of his tongue into her mouth. He reached behind her and with both hands gave her buttocks a good, firm squeeze. When she gasped, he slid his tongue into her mouth, a little move he picked up from the movie Weird Science. He kissed her deeply.

As he pressed against her, he could feel her nipples harden, but that was lost amidst the fire alarms in his pants. He started to fumble down to her belt, and the zipper at her jeans….

Jill was watching and didn’t know what to do. In a way, she had set this up, but all she could think was that Scott was about to get the payoff for her idea. She could tell that Elai liked this, liked the rush of being helpless in another’s hands. Right now was when she had her best chance to tell Elai how she felt. She had to do something.

She dashed outside to find Amanda, who was practicing free throws at the hoop.

“Amanda, I’ve got to talk to you.” The girl stopped bouncing around the court and came over to stand with her neighbor. “Do you remember that I came in this morning, and I was glad to see you, but mostly surprised you were here? I thought you’d be at school already. I told Scott that I was just here to water the plants like I promised your parents. That wasn’t exactly true, really. I actually came over to borrow something from your mom. She keeps it in her nightstand.”

“What is it?”

“Well, it’s kind of hard to explain. It’s just something a girl uses until she finds the right man, or just decides she never really needed one in the first place. And anyway, I loved playing with you today and spending time with you- I really did- but that was what I really came over for. And I’m telling you this, because I want to always be honest with you and tell you anything. Okay?” Amanda nodded. “But anyway, that doesn’t matter now. Scott and Elai are inside playing prisoner. And you know that I think I might love Elai? Well, I want to ask her if maybe she loves me too, she just hasn’t had a chance to ever think about it, because she’s always around Scott. I just want to ask her, but I need to get her alone, away from Scott, to give her time to think about the answer. If she says she loves Scott, that’s fine. But I don’t think she’ll really know unless she knows she could have had me, too. Anyway, I’m not asking you to choose between me and Scott, I just want you to help me get Scott away from her so I can ask her. Will you help me? Please” Amanda nodded. “Of course I’ll help. What do I have to do?” “I’m going to go in and tell Scott that you need him. He’ll come out here, and you just keep him here and I’ll go talk to Amanda. I know he wanted to have a date with her, but this might be my only chance to ask her.” “Okay, sure.”

“Thank you!” Jill took a moment to give Amanda the biggest hug, then raced back into the house. “Hey, Scott….”

Scott was pretty busy at the moment. He had Elai’s belt unbuckled, her jeans unbuttoned and unzipped, and his hand was down the front of her panties. He was kissing Elai like a drowning man going for water. Elai was moaning deeply, a very passionate, guttural sound, and squirming on the couch, fighting her bonds, trying to reach Scott, not sure what he was doing to her but desperate that he not stop.

“I hate to interrupt,” Jill lied. “But Amanda needs you.”

“Tell her to wait.”

“No, Scott, she can’t wait. She needs you right now, right this minute Scott. Go check on her, and I’ll stand guard here, okay?”

“Forget it.”

“No, Scott, Amanda needs you. She needs to talk to someone- it’s a family thing, Scott, she won’t tell me. Just go out and see what she wants!”

Realizing that he couldn’t finish with Jill standing 10 feet away barking at him, Scott reluctantly got up, but it was like pulling two magnets apart for him to stand. He lurched unsteadily toward the door, to get this over with as soon as possible.

The very second he was gone, Jill rushed into the living room, and knelt down beside Elai on the couch. “I am so sorry, Elai…I had no idea Scott would take it this far. I thought we were just playing a game, I never thought he’d try something like this…”

“No, it’s okay, Jill, it’s fine…get Scott back in here…”

“Oh, it’s worse than I thought, he’s got you hypnotized or something. You don’t know what he has planned for you…”

“I’ve got a pretty good idea, and it’s okay Jill, leave us alone.”

“…and you clearly don’t know what you’re saying. Don’t worry, I’ll get you out of here.”

“No, Jill, don’t, I want to furrrmmffs!!”

“Sshhh, Scott will hear us escaping! Bite on this!” And Jill shoved a bandanna into her mouth, and quickly tied it behind her head. Then, she stood up, pulling Elai up to her feet with her. "Okay, now let’s move toward the back bedrooms, we can get out that way without Scott seeing us.” And she pulled hard on Elai’s arm. Elai started to fall forward, and had to hop on both her bound feet to keep from falling on her face. Jill used that momentum to keep her hopping toward the back room. She could have untied Elai’s feet, but was afraid Elai might kick her off to stay in the living room & wait for Scott.

Several hops down the hall, Elai’s momentum had worn off and she’d gotten her balance, back, and was trying to fight Jill to get back toward the living room. Jill knew she had no choice, and ducked low as she pulled Elai off balance again, then put her shoulder to Elai’s stomach and straightened up, lifting the shorter girl in a fireman’s carry. She staggered back to the bedroom with her prize. Dumping Elai on the bed, she said, “I’ll be back real soon to take care of you!” Jill opened up the bedroom window, then returned to the living room.

She got back just before Scott & Amanda came in. “That was not what I call an emergency,” Scott said angrily. “Hey- where the hell’s Elai?”

“I’m sorry Scott, that’s my fault. She said she had to go to the bathroom, so I untied her, but then she just left. Maybe she got scared or didn’t like being tied up, I don’t know. I’m sorry.”

“What the hell? Didn’t like it? She was loving it until you came in!”

“I know, I’m sorry, Scott. But if she changed her mind or got scared, then we couldn’t have kept her tied up. It would be like kidnapping for real if we did that. We were only playing, remember? Anyway, I’m sorry. I know you’re probably mad at me, so I’m just going to go home, okay?”

“Fine. Whatever.”

When Jill was out of Scott’s line of sight, she turned to Amanda and mouthed the words, “Thank You” and gave her the “okay” sign with her fingers. Jill went out the front door, then sprinted around to the back of the house and climbed in through the bedroom window.
