Be Mine Ch8

Nikki was the first one to wake up. She became immediately aware of the restraints and a lack of feeling in her arms. Then came the dryness in her mouth from having a pair of panties sealed in there for a long time now. Despite those two factors, and the continued knowledge that she was a hostage, Nikki felt better than she had any other day. She had slept better than any time she could remember, and she was in no doubt as to why. Last night had been something that she didn't expect in five lifetimes. She had always considered herself a straight woman, she had had many boyfriends over her life, had slept with several of them, one even was getting serious until he proved a cheater. But the previous night she had experienced her first intimate encounter with another woman. Her captor had stripped her clothes and made love to her for what felt like hours, not that she had any idea of time in her dimly lit basement. She had been unable to deny her body and had been taken to her sexual peaks on three separate occasions. Reliving it in her mind made Nikki squirm, both in shock, and in her uncomfortableness as she realised she was looking back at in with some level of positive feelings.

It was at this moment that Nikki strained to raise her head and looked at the sleeping woman she was sharing the bed with. Stephanie was sleeping soundly, her arms either side of Nikki with her head lying just beneath her breasts. Nikki watched Stephanie sleep for as long as her neck would let her keep her head raised, but would need to put her head down every so often due to the pressure from her arms being taped to the bars on the headboard.

Stephanie made a small snort, not for the first time that night, an Nikki looked up and smiled internally. When she was asleep, Stephanie looked different to her. She wasn't a threat, she certainly didn't seem crazy. She looked peaceful, and sweet. Nikki stared wide eyed at the ceiling as she thought that. She didn't understand what was going on in her mind, but she didn't have a lot of time to focus as she felt Stephanie stir on top of her.

Stephanie woke with the same content feeling as Nikki, which was only accentuated when she gathered her thoughts and realised she'd woken up in bed with the woman she loved for the very first time. Stephanie smiled, memories of the previous night returning to her too, as she kissed her way up Nikki's body until they were face to face.

"Good morning, my darling. I hope you slept as well as I did." Stephanie said as she stretched. "I'm exhausted, but it's never been more worth it. I hope you see now how great things can be, and just how right we are for each other. I tell you, looking at you just makes me want to ravage you again, but first I think we both need some energy. You deserve a breakfast fit for a queen. So how about I cook up some bacon?"

Nikki couldn't answer, but loved the sound of bacon. Stephanie saw that by the reaction in her facial expression.

"You light up the room when you do that. Well what my baby wants, my baby gets." Stephanie got up, quickly put her clothes on and went upstairs. She wasn't gone long enough for Nikki to try anything, but she didn't try. When she returned she had piles of bacon, bread, butter, ketchup, and plenty of coffee and juice. She removed the tape and her underwear from Nikki's mouth.

"Thank you, I really need a drink, can I have juice?" Nikki made sure to stay respectful.

"Of course baby, here." Stephanie held out a glass before realising Nikki was tied to the bed. "Oh, haha, sorry." She removed the tape and pulled Nikki so she was sat up. Nikki put her bra back on before taking the glass and downing it very quickly, feeling better to moisten her mouth properly.

"Here, you might want these too, for now anyway." Stephanie said with a purr as she passed Nikki her panties back, which were put back on. Stephanie then picked the toll of tape back from the floor, pulling a length away.

"Do you have to?" Nikki asked, knowing the answer. Even she didn't feel she was convincing in her words. She even put her hands together in preparation.

"You're such a good girl Nikki." Stephanie said as she began to wrap the tape around, doing so several times before cutting the tape off. "Don't let the bacon or coffee get cold." Nikki was able to serve herself, making herself a sandwich and coffee. Stephanie poured herself coffee, but just watched Nikki devour her sandwich and two large mugs of coffee at speed.

Stephanie refilled their coffee, emptying the pot. "I guess we need more." She said when her cellphone rang. "Hello? What's up Seth? Paige giving you a hard time? I don't know what the time is? Oh god really? Ok, cover for me, I'll be right in!" Stephanie looked panicked. "Nikki it's 10am. I've got to get to work." She saw her face fall. "It's ok baby, I promise I'll be straight back afterwards."

"Steph, was I fired?" Nikki felt a tear fall, but it was wiped away.

"They wouldn't dare. You're part of the team, just like you're part of me. If they tried to fire you, I'd bring them down so fast, they'd never know how it happened, or who did it." Nikki looked shocked, but had no chance to follow up as Stephanie picked up the tape and her underwear. "Ok, I'll just get you settled and I'll get off. Open wide."

Nikki held out her bound hands in desperation. "Stephanie, please, don't, you don't need to gag me. I promise I won't try and call for help. Nobody could hear me down here. And my mouth gets so dry with panties in too. You don't need it to show you want us to be connected. Surely last night showed you that more?" Nikki was trying to avoid the gag, but found that she believed her own words, which stopped her speech in its tracks.

Stephanie looked at the underwear in her hand and smiled. She dropped them into her bag, bringing a smile to Nikki's face too.

"Your smile lights up my life, you know that?" Stephanie said, not really asking. "If that would make you happy, then I won't. You're right, we are a part of each other for the rest of time. But I don't want people to know that you're mine until you can admit it to yourself. I know that will be soon, but till then people aren't allowed to hear you." Stephanie took tape to Nikki's lips, not getting any resistance. Nikki took what she could get. Stephanie wrapped tape around Nikki's head at speed, then took her hands and resecured her to the bed.

"I'm sorry to run off on you my love. I'll make it up to you tonight. I promise you." Stephanie kissed Nikki on the forehead before practically running out of the basement, the final sound being the key turning in the lock behind her.

Nikki tried to get comfortable, feeling better than before, but having to do work to get herself into a comfortable position on the bed. The way Stephanie had taped was even more unpleasant than usual, and she didn't relish the idea of a full day in that position. Finding what worked best for her, she settled herself as best she could, before a sudden feeling made her realise that in all the hurry to get out, Stephanie had not given her the chance to use the bathroom, something she had always made sure to do before. Nikki knew that it was only because she rushed out the door, not because she wanted to make her suffer, but Nikki knew that she had consumed a lot of juice and coffee before that happened. Stephanie wasn't going to be back for about eight hours, and the need to relieve herself was already starting to emerge. Nikki scrunched her face up. One way or another, this was going to be a very uncomfortable day for her.

Stephanie was very pleased with herself when she got back to the house. She had gone to see her boss, Mr Regal, and had successfully convinced him that Nikki had to tend to a family emergency and would be out of town until it was all finished with. She said she was doing her best to support her and would keep them up to date. Regal had told her that Nikki would not be receiving any pay for the days she missed, which was a fair decision, but Steph was pleased that she could bring such good news to her love.

All that good feeling disappeared as she opened the basement door. The sound that she could her was unmistakeable, even with her mouth taped shut. Nikki was crying. The sound pierced through Stephanie's heart and soul like an arrow and she ran down the stairs. "Nikki? I'm here, its ok! What's wrong my darling?"

As she got to the bed, Steph saw the wet stains on the bed sheets, and could see how Nikki's legs and panties were also wet. "Oh no, Nikki no."

Nikki couldn't look at Stephanie, she felt embarrassed. She wasn't able to control herself after so much time and liquid having been consumed. Her body had let her down only about an hour previous. Nikki saw Stephanie pick up a knife and she began to struggle, fearing punishment for what she believed had been seen as a show of disrespect, but instead was relieved when Stephanie gently cut the tape around her mouth, giving her a kiss as soon as her lips were visible. "It's ok Nikki, I'm here now, what happened?"

"You...you didn't let me go before you left. I couldn't stop it. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Steph." The tears were still falling fast from Nikki's eyes as Stephanie took in what she had said, putting a hand to her mouth and Nikki was surprised to see her shed a tear of her own, surprised enough to stop her own.

"Nikki, you, you don't have to be sorry. This isn't your fault. It's mine. I can't believe that I did that to you. You are my world. Your joy is my joy, and your pain is my pain. Now and forever. I promise this will never happen again." Stephanie cradled Nikki's head for a moment before continuing. "We need to get you all clean and feeling like my queen again. Come on."

With that, Stephanie cut the tape on Nikki's wrists. This was a surprise to Nikki, who turn and looked Stephanie in the eye, seeing how she really felt bad about it.

Stephanie stood Nikki up and removed first her soaking wet underwear, leaving her stood naked. She took both of Nikki's hands and took her up and out of the basement, then up another flight of steps. The idea of shouting for help didn't even cross her mind. She wanted what Stephanie was offering at that moment, to get washed, something she hadn't had the chance for for days.

Stephanie opened her bedroom door and led her love inside. "I didn't want you to come in here again until we made love next, but you deserve it now." She picked up a robe and helped Nikki put it on.

"Now I need you to wait here while I get everything ready for you. I promise I won't be long, just rest here a moment." Nikki sat down in a chair and Stephanie instinctively used the tape that she brought with them to keep her in the chair. This annoyed Nikki, who wanted to be able to look around the room, loving the way it was decorated, and the bed looked more comfortable than the one down stairs but a long way. So much in the room she wanted to explore, a chance to get to know the woman in the other room more than she did. Her interest in Stephanie had certainly risen over the last 24 hours, but not in the way she expected it to.

"It's time." Came the voice from the door way as Stephanie released Nikki and walked her from behind to another closed door. "Close your eyes." She asked, but Nikki was unsure whether to comply. Stephanie turned Nikki around.

"Please, I want you to enjoy this. You deserve this. I need to make things better." Steph said, like she was punishing herself for allowing what happened. Nikki was able to talk, but just looked her in the eye and nodded, closing her eyes.

Stephanie turned her around and took her a few steps forward. A really relaxing smell was impossible to ignore, but she kept her eyes closed a moment longer.

"Ok, open them. " Nikki did as she was told and gasped at what she found. The room was lit but what must have been dozens of candles, placed all around the bath, which was full to the brim of bubbles. From behind her Stephanie pushed a button and soft, relaxing music began to play. Nikki felt overwhelmed, it was one of the most romantic scenes she'd ever seen. And it was all for her.

Nikki turned around to face Stephanie and found she had removed her blouse and was working on doing the same with the tight skirt she had on. Stephanie saw the confused look on Nikki's face and smiled. "I told you I was going to clean you up didn't I?" Nikki saw that the bathtub was easily big enough for two of them, so she wasn't going to have much choice. She looked back and saw Stephanie getting towels out of an undersink cabinet, as she bent over, Nikki found herself staring at Stephanie for a moment as she saw the small thong she had on made her ass look great, but she shook herself out of it.

Stephanie brought the towels back to Nikki. "I'm going to take good care of you, but the rules are still the same." She said with a smile. She took one towel and wrapped it around Nikki's mouth, tying it tight. The fabric came into Nikki's mouth but not too far and it was much softer and more forgiving than the tape.

"You know what this ones for." Stephanie said and Nikki put her hands behind her back without hesitation, surprising even herself at how prepared, eager even, to do it she was. Stephanie kissed Nikki's shoulders as she tied the towel. Nikki felt like this was easily escapable, but had no intention to do so.

"See baby, I know what's best, and I'll always make sure that's what happens." Stephanie said as she helped them both step into the bathtub. The water made the towel on her wrists tighter, but with Stephanie there too, she couldn't move much anyway.

They laid down and Stephanie wrapped her arms and lags around Nikki and encouraged her to lean her head back, which was complied with, adding to Nikki's relaxation. Nikki stretched her legs out, letting the warm water and exquisite aromas take her. She let out a small sigh of contentment, which made Stephanie smile, but she said nothing. This was what she wanted for Nikki in this moment. To make her feel better in every way after the horrible experience of before. Stephanie stroked Nikki's hair and forehead as it stayed lent on her shoulder, her arms positioned as best possible while bound. Nikki's hands were positioned so Stephanie could have got her own satisfaction out of it, but that wasn't the plan. She took hold of the sponge she brought with her, wet it, and began to run it over Nikki's upper body. It was shown to be appreciated by the way Nikki's small movements made the job easy for Stephanie. As she ran the sponge across each breast, she felt Nikki's breath catch in her throat for a second. It meant the world to know her work was being enjoyed.

Nikki was certainly enjoying every aspect of this bath, Stephanie wasn't treating her rough, even with her own hands tied behind her, she wasn't uncomfortable. She too, felt the way her breasts were being treated had an erotic quality, but Stephanie wasn't pushing it too far, but when she reached between her legs, Nikki was sure she was in for another encounter like the night before, but as quickly as she started, she moved on to other parts of her body. Nikki was certainly surprised at this, but having been so sure it was coming, didn't know whether to be relieved, or disappointed.

That confusion had to be put aside only a matter of minutes later. Stephanie had completed her job and the water was losing its warmth, it was time to get out. Stephanie slid herself up and out first, then helped Nikki to her feet and out of the tub. Fresh towels were brought as Stephanie dried Nikki off fully, before giving herself the same attention. Nikki thought she was going back to the basement, so was surprised when she was taken back to Stephanie's room and sat on the bed. Stephanie left for a while, then came back with the roll of tape. She put her arms around Nikki

"You can't go back downstairs now, the bed needs cleaning. You can sleep here now. With me. This is your room too. It's ours now. It's our bed. I hope you like it as much as I do. The rules still have to stay the same for now of course."

Nikki knew that part as soon as she brought the tape out, but she was feeling more than happy. To be out of the dark basement, not going back to that bed after her accident, to feel so much more like herself. Stephanie removed the towel from her mouth first, but before she could reach the tape Nikki took a step do their naked bodies were almost touching. Stephanie froze, not sure what she was doing. Nikki looked into Stephanie's eyes, then moved her head and placed a single kiss on her cheek before stepping back.

"Thank you...thank you for taking care of me." Nikki said quietly, now looking down. Stephanie took her hand and held it to reassure her, she fought her desires to respond in a more carnal manner. She pulled the covers back from the bed and picked up the tape roll. Nikki allowed herself to be taped over her mouth and put her hand around the bed frame as she laid down. Stephanie waited for her to stop moving to ensure she was comfortable before taping her up again.

Stephanie put an arm over Nikki as she laid next to her and pulled the covers up. Stephanie wasn't sure, but she thought she felt Nikki move into her body, getting closer. She didn't question it, but held her tighter. She wasn't wrong.
