Same day

"Wh-What?" Surely I misheard him.

He wants to tie me down? Like figuratively or literally?

I'm not sure I like either one. The need to get out of here is growing stronger.

I don't want to stay.
I don't want to talk.
I don't want to be near him.

It hurts too much. Being around him reminds me of everything I felt for him.

"You heard me." His smirk takes over his entire face. He's not challenging me, he thinks he already won.

I look down at his hand on my exposed skin, wishing he were touching me elsewhere. I can feel my chest heaving as I suck in air, which I'm sure he's noticed.

He hasn't touched me in three months. I can't deny that it feels amazing, but I want more.

I need to get out of here, before I make a fool of myself.  Again.

If I could just slide out from under his hand, I might be able to make it to the bathroom door.

Then what?

I wouldn't make it out the front door, he would catch me.

I would be stuck in Cole's room until Ben came and threw me over his shoulder again.

Caveman.
A very hot, strong caveman.

God, what is wrong with me?
Focus!

Ben's hand moves off of my chest, as he grabs my hands, pulling it above my head. Something cool slides over my wrist, I look up to see I'm secured to the bed post with a blue silk tie.

Oh God. He meant literally.

He climbs over me, straddling my stomach as he ties my other wrist the same way. This time with a dark green silk tie. It doesn't hurt, but it's not super comfortable either.

He kisses my forehead before climbing off the bed. I feel my nerves skyrocket. Is he going to leave me here?

No!

"Wh-Where are you going?" I whisper, barely able to speak.

He chuckles, grabbing my leg. "Don't worry, darlin', I'm not going anywhere."

He wraps a dark purple tie around my ankle, securing me further to the bed. "And neither are you."

There's something in his gaze, something different. I wonder if he likes seeing me like this. Completely under his will.

He can do whatever he wants to me and I'm helpless to stop it. The thought is incredibly arousing and terrifying.

I trust Ben. I don't believe he would ever hurt me physically, but I'm more worried about my heart.

What if he breaks it? 
What if he breaks me?

He slides a pale yellow tie around my other ankle. He's taking his time with this.  I think he's enjoying it, but I can't tell for sure.

He climbs up onto the bed, holding one last, light blue tie. Uh oh.

"Wh-What's that for?" I can feel my eyes open to the point it's almost painful.

"This..." He runs the tie through his hands, a smile on his lips, as he steps up to the side of the bed. "...is for if you're a bad little kitty Kat."
