7 .
Even fully clothed, Alanis could feel Sean’s eyes on her as she walked around her back patio.
She did her best not to look at him, instead moving from person to person, smiling, laughing, playing every bit the good host and dutiful girlfriend.
After all, it was Todd’s night, and these were his friends and coworkers.
People milled around the back yard, drinks and food in hand, talking and laughing, some even splashed around in the pool while a few guests decided to beat the heat and relax inside the house.
Meanwhile, Todd manned the grill, in his natural habitat with a set of tongs in one hand and a drink in the other.
Alanis stuck close to him, watching as he guffawed loudly at something one of his guests said.
He had been in a wonderful mood all day, but she couldn’t blame him, he had been on cloud nine since he got the news of the promotion a week before.
He had burst in one day after work, practically giddy. All of his hard work was paying off, his bosses had taken notice, and he was getting promoted to a manager position. Better yet, he was being made head of the company’s Houston office.
After that it had been a flurry of activity, getting ready for the cookout to celebrate, and also preparing to relocate.
At first Alanis remembered her heart sinking in her chest when she heard the news that they would have to move, her first thought being about Sean.
How would he react? Worse off, would he let her?
Or would he release the photos like he threatened to?
But then she realized it was probably a good thing that she was moving because it would put her as far away from him as humanely possible.
Sean had been getting worse during their “sessions” as he called it, leaving her bound and gagged all night more and more and then letting her go home naked in the early morning hours.
Worse off, now he had his girlfriend, Yeona, tied up alongside Alanis as well.
Unlike Alanis though, it didn’t seem like Sean let Yeona go free, ever.
Alanis thought back to earlier that week, it was a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky, and Sean was relaxing in one of his beach chairs, shirt open, drinking from a margarita.
“Yeah, this is the life, wouldn’t you agree girls?” He smiled at them.
“Hrrrmph! Mmmpph gggmm!” Alanis protested.
She was tied facedown in a beach chair, her ass glistening from the tanning oil, and clad in a yellow thong bikini, and gagged with clear packing tape.
“Oh your right, tan lines.” He smiled, got up, grabbed the top of her thong, and pulled it down, exposing Alanis’s full backside to the sun.
“Nnmmph! Nnnnnoo!” She moaned, but Sean only laughed.
“Hrrr gggmmm hmmph! Mmmmffff!” Yeona mumbled from the beach chair next to Alanis.
Yeona was in a sitting position, with her wrists tied to the arm rests of the beach chair, and ankles secured together as well. She was also gagged with the clear tape, and was wearing black thong bikini bottoms and nothing else. Her naked breasts rose up and down in fury as she glared at Sean.
“Oh don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about you. Let’s get some oil on those breasts of yours.”
“Nnnmooh! Nnnnoh! Shhtttpp!” She tried to wriggle away as he grabbed the bottle of oil, rubbed some on his palms and leaned over towards the struggling woman.
“Nnnnph! Sttthhp!” She whined as he placed his hands on her bare breasts and began massaging the tanning oil on.
“You know, I remember how towards the end of my marriage, Tanya began to love sitting outside in little thong bikinis just like you two.” He began to talk absentmindedly while oiling up Yeona’s breasts.
“Hmmmph! Mmmm!”
“Cmmmm hhnn!”
“I would watch her as she rubbed oil over that lovely body of hers, much like I’m doing now.” He stared at Yeona as he spoke.
“Ummm!” She wriggled again.
“But she was parading her body out in the yard for me. She was doing it for every other guy on the street. It was like she did that every day to mock me, show what was so close but yet so far.”
“Gggrrrmm…” Yeona grumbled.
“But now,” Sean stood and smiled. “Not anymore!”
“Bssstthddd!” She kicked her bound feet at him.
“Sean? Hey Sean?” Alanis perked up, hearing Todd call from the other side of the fence.
“Thhddd! Hlllpp! Thhhd!” Alanis called through the layers of tape over her mouth.
“Hey, hows it going?” Sean replied, stepping over towards the fence.
“Tddddd! Hhhhhlllp! Hhmmmp!” She cried, twisting and writhing against the tape holding her.
“I’m having a little cookout this week, would love to have you if you’re available.” Todd answered.
“Oh, thank you for the invite. I’ll have to check my schedule.” Sean answered.
“It’s a bit of a double celebration, got a big promotion and we’ll have to relocate, so I’ll be inviting the whole neighborhood. A bit of a going away thing.” Todd shouted again.
“Oh… is that so?” Sean stiffened.
So did Alanis in that moment.
He kept her tied up that night, but then let her go in the morning as usual. At first she was confused, but then realized that Sean probably didn’t know what to do with the news of her moving either.
Or maybe since he had his tied up girlfriend to play with he didn’t need her anymore, but that was unlikely.
At the cookout, Sean didn’t really say much to her, in fact, he didn’t really talk to anybody.
Instead, he just stood around in the corner, watching her the entire time.
Alanis took to standing by Todd, thinking if he noticed, he might say something to Sean.
After spending these past few months as a captive of the man, she knew one thing about him: He was a coward.
Sean had a lot of anger and bitterness, seemingly mostly at his ex-wife Tanya, and now he was taking it out on any woman he could.
But Alanis knew that if Sean ever met someone his own size, he would back down immediately.
Todd wasn’t what anyone called intimidating, but Sean wouldn’t press it if Todd started giving him attitude.
But so far, Todd was too caught up in himself to notice, but he never paid Sean any mind to begin with.
The two barely talked beyond saying hello to each other every now and then, and Alanis knew that Todd had only invited Sean to be neighborly.
As her boyfriend manned the grill, Alanis watched Sean as he stood in the corner, drink in hand.
Every now and then he would nod to someone or make a little bit of chit chat, but he seemed so out of place, so awkward.
“Why don’t you go for a swim?” Todd nudged her.
“Huh?” Alanis’s attention snapped away from Sean.
“Go swim,” Todd gestured to the pool with his elbow while working the grill. “We won’t have it for much longer so may as well enjoy it.”
“Oh, I don’t know.” She shrugged, her eyes straying over to Sean.
“Go, have a good time.” Todd smiled at her.
There was something about his rare good mood that was infectious.
Not only that, but him encouraging her to get into in a swimsuit in front of his friends and co-workers was almost unheard of.
She knew that she couldn’t wear one of her more revealing bikinis, but even modest ones accentuated her muscles and massive breasts.
It occurred to her that this was exactly what she wanted months ago, for Todd stop being so possessive of her body, and now that she was getting it, all she wanted to do was crawl up into a hole.
Maybe it was because she was at home far less than she used to be.
When she was tied up at Sean’s, she would make excuses like she was sleeping over Disha’s or something.
Perhaps the distance was making Todd realize that he might be pushing her away.
Alanis’s eyes glanced over to Sean, and a smile spread across her face as an idea popped into her head. If Todd caught Sean gawking at her in a bikini, that might be enough for him to scare their neighbor off
“Sure!” She beamed, and practically skipped across the patio towards the house.
On her way up to the bedroom, Alanis thought over what bikini she should wear to the pool, she didn’t want to go too skimpy and have every head at the party turning when she stepped out, but something just enough…
Then it hit her, like a burst of inspiration, and she bounced up the stairs two at a time.
A few moments later, Alanis stood in front of her full length mirror, admiring herself in her American flag thong bikini.
She turned and admired the way the back disappeared into her thick buttocks, and knew that Sean wouldn’t be able to control himself when she stepped out onto the patio in it.
He would practically salivate at the sight of her, then Todd would notice and chase her tormentor away forever.
The bikini that started this whole ordeal would end it.
Alanis took another moment to admire herself, the way her breasts heaved under the bikini top, the solid muscles of her body, her tan, and felt how raw and powerful it made her feel.
Her body was her weapon. With a smile on her face, she stepped over to her door, opened it, and stepped out into the hallway.
Just as she emerged from the bedroom, the bathroom door directly across from her opened and Sean stepped out.
His jaw dropped at the sight of her, clearly just as shocked to see her as she was of him.
After he picked his jaw up off of the floor, his eyes scanned over her half naked body, falling onto her breasts rising and falling beneath the bikini top.
Her heart smacked against her chest like a sledge hammer and in the very same instant, a chill washed over her like she had been dipped into an ice bath.
She felt her skin rise in goosebumps and her nipples go erect against the thin fabric of her top.
Then she heard the door open directly below, and Todd’s voice.
“Alanis?”
She pressed forward, opening her mouth to cry out, snapping Sean out of his trance, and he rushed towards her.
“To-Ummmph! Mmmm ggmmph! Mmmmph!” He cut her off by clamping one of his hands over her mouth.. Alanis kicked and fought as he wrapped another arm around her waist.
“Alanis? Are you up there?” Todd called from downstairs.
“Thhdd! Thhdd! Hhhpp!” She cried into Sean’s hand.
She couldn’t believe Sean’s strength as he pulled her into the bedroom. Alanis kicked and fought, her foot slamming against her bedroom door.
