New Shibari Story: 'Roped In'

Forever Bound anthology

More publication news! Yesterday saw the release of another Mischief collection featuring a short story of mine, Forever Bound. As you can probably tell from the title, Forever Bound is about bondage. The original title of the anthology was 'bound and bonded', which says it all, really. I even managed to work those words into my story...

My story is called 'Roped In' and is about a woman whose husband/dom, a shibari enthusiast, comes up with an interesting way to spice up a dull afternoon at her family's: he ties a karada (rope harness) around her and makes her wear it under her clothes. As it happens, the harness features a crotch rope with a knot strategically placed right on the wife's clit, so needless to say, she gets a bit frisky while walking through her parents' living room and talking to unsuspecting relatives. And then her husband starts to talk dirty to her, right in the middle in a room full of people...

Here's a little excerpt to whet your appetite:

As he walked around her, directing the ropes between and underneath her breasts to create a hemp bra, she watched his fingers, so meticulous and assured. With great dexterity, he slipped an end of the rope into the space between two knots on her belly and pulled it backwards again to loop it into a similar space on her back. He repeated this process several times, moving further down with each repetition. She watched transfixed as the diamond shapes began to take form on her belly, luxuriating in the sensual feel of the rope sliding across her skin.

She'd heard
karadas described as rope prisons. She herself didn't think of them that way. To her, a karada was a caress, a hempy kiss to go with the sweet caresses Connor would occasionally bestow on her neck and breasts as he arranged and re-arranged the ropes. She relished the intimacy of the experience, the perfectionism of his patterns, the meditative character of it all. Most of all, however, she relished the way the crotch rope shifted each time he looped an end underneath. It wasn't long before she found herself responding to the movement, feeling chills of pleasure run up her spine with each subtle shift. And then, suddenly, Connor stopped.

'Aren't you... aren't you going to bind my arms?' she asked a little hesitantly when the harness was complete and Connor had tied the ends of the rope on her back.

He looked at her, his head cocked to one side. 'Do you really want me to deliver you at your parents' doorstep naked and with your arms tied behind your back?'

She chuckled at the notion, a little embarrassed. 'No, I guess not. But what...?' Her voice trailed off as she saw his face.

'You're going to go to your parents wearing this
karada under your clothes, to remind you that you are bound and bonded to me, and that only I can set you free. You're going to feel my hand on you even when I'm not physically touching you. And wait...'
