----------------------------------------------------------------------------



Perched in her desk chair, Tara hummed away happily to herself, flipping over to the last page of the problems that her math teacher had assigned, very much enjoying the bright Friday morning. Being able to sleep in past eight o’clock was the best part of Fridays and she always found ways to make the one weekday she didn’t have classes at least somewhat productive. Whether that meant taking care of laundry, cleaning the dorm or finishing off homework, most of the time with JoBeth along for the ride, Tara enjoyed being able to get things in order so she could relax over the weekend.



She’d finished off the laundry last night and her dorm room itself was in good order, leaving only the last of her assigned homework to go. Stress-free studying always wound up working out better for her in the end and with midterms coming up next week, Tara wanted to have plenty of time to study at her own leisure. With the work she’d put in last night and earlier in the morning, there was just one more calculus question left on the back of the page before she could dive into the biology review. Having already taken care of the English paper a few days ago, Tara felt a pleased sense of relief that it was looking like she’d be able to take things easy this weekend.



Jotting a few lines down on the sheet, Tara turned to her calculator for a moment, poking gingerly at the little gray buttons. Biting her lower lip in thought, she entered a last calculation and came to the answer she was hoping to find. Filling that in on the sheet’s answer line, Tara smiled, leaning back in her chair and letting out a contented sigh. “There,” Tara said brightly, stretching her arms out above her head. “Done with that!”



Pulling the ends of her sweatshirt’s sleeves over her hands, Tara wrapped her arms around her waist, enjoying the warmth for a moment. Thinking back to last night and all the different sounds that she’d heard from JoBeth’s room along with the others she’d heard already this morning, she was in the mood for a little bit of comfortable warmth.



A blush spread over her cheeks and Tara couldn’t keep her thoughts from drifting to imaginings of what those sounds meant. More than anything else, she was happy that JoBeth and Amy were still together next door. Watching JoBeth bounce off the walls all week about Amy had been too much fun, but she was glad that they’d found a way to make their feelings for each other known. From the sound of it, it’d happened even better than they’d even imagined in even the most intense of their giggle-fits from the past few days.



Hearing from JoBeth how Amy had reacted to everything that week had told her that it was inevitable and from her unique perspective, it had been incredibly obvious how much Amy and JoBeth liked each other. Tara was proud of JoBeth for tossing aside her worries and doubts and just going after what she wanted like that. The rules really could screw themselves and she had a point; Amy was too nice and too cute to let go.



A smirk tugged at the corners of her lips and Tara couldn’t help her imagination drifting off to far dirtier thoughts about just what was going on over there. One thing she was glad for was that her room acted as a barrier between any of the other girls’ rooms because a few times, she’d heard both girls getting a little louder than they might have intended. A blush warmed her cheeks once more and Tara let out a small chuckle, knowing full well that things had to be going very well for that to be happening.



Along with the blush came a familiar, naughty tingle from down deep inside. Her imagination had been running wild most of last night and this morning hadn’t been any different. Part of her hoped she could find someone that would make her make those sounds soon, as taking care of it herself wasn’t nearly good enough. When some of JoBeth’s sounds turned muffled, she’d barely been able to keep herself from letting her fingers wander.



Closing her eyes, Tara let the fading memories of her dreams last night take over. They’d been decidedly erotic and a lot more exciting than anything she could remember having for a while now, about a nice, loving girl wanting her that much; one that wanted to tie her up and have her, accepting her love in return.



The idea of finding what JoBeth had found for herself was incredibly appealing in ways she’d never have thought of before she’d talked about it with JoBeth. The dreams had left her more than a little hot and bothered once she woke up and the muffled moans of JoBeth next door having what sounded like an incredible time earlier had taken her right back to the edge of irresistibility.



“Come on, Tara…” the redhead sighed, her smirk turning into an outright grin. It sounded like things had settled down next door for the past few minutes, but Tara couldn’t help a small giggle as she fought off a few of the wilder fantasies she’d had. She’d already taken one cool shower that morning and with a quick shake of her head, she tried focusing on the rest of her homework.



Slipping the now-finished math homework back in its binder, Tara picked her biology book up off the shelf above her desk and moved over to the end of her bed. Grabbing the body pillow that lined the side of her bed against the wall, Tara folded it behind her and leaned back against it, getting comfortable and hoping to take care of as much of her reading as she could.



She’d managed the better part of a chapter and a half before hearing the bathroom door over on JoBeth’s side open. She hadn’t heard JoBeth’s main door opening or closing earlier, so there was a good chance that Amy was still around as well. Perking up, Tara turned and grabbed a bookmark off the nearby desk, tucking it into the book just as she heard the knock on her door.



Setting the book down beside her, Tara perched on the edge of her bed where she could see the bathroom doorway. “Come in,” Tara replied, hoping that her flustered blush had faded by now.



“Tara?” JoBeth called out cheerfully, waiting for Amy to open the door for her.



Stepping around JoBeth, Amy turned the knob and barely had it half-way open before JoBeth darted past her and into Tara’s room. “Jo!” Amy laughed, giving the pony-tailed girl a playful swat on her behind as she passed by.



“Aah!” JoBeth laughed, her bright grin stretching from ear to ear. Shooting a smile back at Amy, JoBeth couldn’t believe how much fun it had been to share this morning with the blonde. It had started with waking up in her warm and loving arms and only gotten better from there and she couldn’t wait to tell Tara all about it. “Naughty…” she cooed at Amy teasingly before turning her attention back to the girl whose room she was in.



“Tara!” the brunette exclaimed, giving her suitemate a bright grin of her own. “Hey! Good morning,” JoBeth added cheerfully, taking a few steps out of the doorway and into Tara’s dorm room.



“Hey Jo,” Tara replied with a chuckle, her worries about her blush flying out the window when she saw exactly how JoBeth was dressed. The burning warmth had spread past her cheeks to her entire face as her gaze ran quickly over the straightjacket that was strapped tight around JoBeth’s body.



Much like she’d imagined when JoBeth had shown it to her, the soft fabric clung tight to JoBeth’s curves and the straps had her arms pinned firmly against her stomach. The last of the straps disappeared under a pair of shorts that hid exactly what was going on down between her legs, but a quick look back up at JoBeth’s smile and the rosy glow on her cheeks told Tara that Amy had probably buckled it pleasantly snug.



All those tingly feelings of arousal came rushing back over here and Tara couldn’t help feeling a little embarrassed about her excitement over something so kinky. The fact that JoBeth liked it and looked so happy in it made her feel a lot better about her own attraction to something she’d have thought incredibly weird just a week ago. With the right person, she imagined that embarrassment would likely fade in time.



Offering the best smile she could muster and trying to brush off the delightful throbbing that had started deep inside her, Tara let out a small chuckle. “Hey JoBeth,” she said, noticing Amy come in behind JoBeth with a warm smile for her, wearing a sensible tank top and a pair of yoga pants. “Hey there, Miss Reynolds.”



Wrapping an arm around JoBeth’s shoulder, Amy gave her girlfriend a squeeze, feeling the warm spark of happiness inside her as JoBeth cuddled into her side in return. “Hey Tara,” she started, feeling a little sorry for ambushing the bright-red girl with something this kinky this early in the morning.



JoBeth had mentioned Tara’s interest in the gear and when she’d suggested saying hello and showing her just how fun and natural it could be, Amy hadn’t thought of a single reason to say no. When it all came down to it, she was perfectly happy to show another girl that bondage wasn’t all scary and she was more than fine with keep JoBeth looking beyond sexy in that straightjacket as long as she felt like being in it. “And you’re more than welcome to call me Amy, you know,” Amy added a moment later, drawing a tension-melting chuckle from the blushing redhead.



Her gaze flicking from JoBeth over to meet Amy’s smile, Tara couldn’t help a bashful bite of her lower lip. “Heh, hey Amy,” she said, her heart skipping a beat when she saw the smile that Amy was giving JoBeth. There was so much adoration and joy in it and seeing JoBeth smiling back, looking happier than she’d ever seen her, made all the drama back and forth seem worthwhile. The love already there between them made her want to run over and wrap them both up in a hug and Tara was glad that things had worked out even better than they’d imagined.



“How are you two?” Tara asked, breaking the moment of adoring silence that had descended over the room.



With a big grin, JoBeth nuzzled into the nook of Amy’s arm. “Really good,” she said, unable to contain a giddy giggle.



Retuning JoBeth’s grin, Amy let out a small chuckle of her own before looking back at Tara. “Amazing,” she said with a smile, pulling JoBeth in front of her and wrapping her other arm around the brunette. “Better than ever, and I think that we’ve got you to thank for a helping hand in arranging it…”



Blushing even brighter, Tara felt a kind of pride swelling inside her. She was happy to have helped two people she liked find what looked like a brilliant happiness together, but she couldn’t take all the credit for JoBeth’s initiative.



Still bright red and feeling every bit of that warmth, Tara gave a deferent shake of her head. “No worries,” she said with a smile. “I mean, all I did was suggest…”



“And prod a little,” JoBeth chimed in.



“Okay, maybe I prodded a little,” Tara allowed with a laugh, unable to suppress a beaming smile for her friend and her TA. She could tell that Amy could barely keep her eyes or hands off of JoBeth and JoBeth was positively glowing about it. “But look at you two,” she added a moment later, her voice softening with awe. “Looks like it was worth it, huh?”



Nodding, Amy kissed the top of JoBeth’s head. She loved the girl in her arms more than anything and she couldn’t think of anything more worthwhile than spending the day holding her close and making her happy. “I think so,” Amy said softly, drawing a giggle out of JoBeth.



“You know it was,” JoBeth seconded cheerfully, resting her head back on Amy’s shoulder for a moment before looking back at Tara with a smile. “In case you can’t tell already, I’d like to introduce you to my Mistress…” she said with a mischievous chuckle.



Joining in with JoBeth’s laugh, Amy noticed Tara’s blush deepen a little once again. “She means girlfriend,” Amy said, correcting the brunette with a playful tickle to her sides and feeling a bit of a thrill course through her at both her and JoBeth’s descriptions of their relationship.



“Aaah!” JoBeth squeaked, squirming against Amy. The warmth of Amy’s arms was amazing enough but her squirming caused the strap between her legs to pull a little tighter, sending an altogether different but very pleasant tingle through her body. “That too,” she added a moment later, more than happy to agree with Amy’s assertion.



A bright grin lit her features once more and Tara was glad that the night had worked out pretty much exactly as they’d hoped it would. “Congratulations!” Tara exclaimed happily. “I’m just glad you two were able to finally talk,” she continued, trailing off for a moment. “You know, without having to worry about everything…”



Giggling, JoBeth felt her own blush warming her cheeks. “Oh, we talked alright,” she said, an impish smirk crossing her lips. “Did more than that, too…”



“Jo!” Amy exclaimed in mock protest, giving JoBeth another firm squeeze and causing all three of the girls to break into a shared laugh. Looking back over at Tara, Amy couldn’t help a blush of her own. She was more than fine with Tara knowing things but there were a few details that she wanted JoBeth to keep private, at least while she was in the room. “Yeah, we were finally able to clear the air a little,” Amy explained through a chuckle. “It was kind of hard to talk about certain things when we always had other people around, you know?”



JoBeth tugged idly against the straightjacket, very much enjoying every little reminder it gave her that she was not able to get out on her own. “Yeah, I don’t think I’d have been able to convince her to put me in this again if we were out in the hallway after class…” she said, enjoying the adoring squeeze Amy gave her at the implication.



“Probably not,” Tara agreed with a quiet laugh of her own.



“Definitely not,” Amy said through a soft chuckle. She’d had more than one dream of taking JoBeth back to her bedroom like that before. “But not because I wouldn’t have wanted to…”



Her blush still bright red on her cheeks, Tara couldn’t help stealing another gaze at JoBeth all bound up in the straightjacket. She was completely helpless, unable to get out but obviously loving it. The sparkle in JoBeth’s eyes told her that it had to be a wonderful feeling and Tara thought that it would be an incredible thrill to share with someone that loved her and that she trusted completely herself.



Trying to keep the increasingly insistent throbbing inside her from getting the best of her, Tara couldn’t keep from wondering about JoBeth’s choice of outfit. “Is it as fun as you remember?” she asked softly, a curious smirk spreading across her lips.



JoBeth gave Tara a big grin in return and cuddled back into Amy lovingly. Being able to belong to Amy like this, to have her want to tie her up and keep her was even better than she’d remembered it feeling on Sunday. This time, it was because she knew Amy loved her and because she was someone special to her Amy. “It’s even better…” JoBeth answered dreamily.



“I mean, come on…” Amy started, a playful laugh ringing in her voice as JoBeth turned to look back at her. “How could I not have fun with this girl?” she asked, kissing JoBeth on her forehead.



“Aww, Aims…” JoBeth purred, smiling away.



Tara couldn’t help finding the new couple to be the cutest thing she’d ever seen and the way that JoBeth lit up from Amy’s kiss told her everything that she needed to know about where the two would go from here. JoBeth was in love with Amy and from the looks of it, Amy was in love with JoBeth too. With a large smile of her own, Tara couldn’t think of anyone better for JoBeth than their sweet, supportive and obviously caring TA. “Looks like she’s in good hands, there…” Tara observed.



“Yup!” JoBeth chirped, more than happy to agree.



“Someone’s got to keep her in line,” Amy chuckled, resting her head against JoBeth’s.



Tara laughed, watching JoBeth enjoying every second of being in Amy’s arms. “Exactly,” she agreed, playing along with Amy and drawing another bright grin from her bound suitemate.



“Yeah, well, I’m fun like that,” JoBeth declared, swaying slowly back and forth with Amy.



“It’s why you’re so desirable,” Amy agreed. “And why I’m happy to keep you,” she added, drawing a contented ‘hnn’ from JoBeth.



An exquisite and blissful shiver coursed through JoBeth’s body and the ponytailed girl turned back to find Amy’s lips. Much to her delight, she didn’t have to even ask as Amy leaned around, smiling as cute as ever, to meet her with a short, sweet kiss.



“Mmm… Aims,” JoBeth purred softly once the kiss broke, basking in the wonderful feeling of the kiss and giving the blonde an adoring, playful smile before remembering where they were and breaking into a giggle. “Sorry,” she added, looking back over at Tara with a giddy blush.



Shaking her head at the two smiling girls, Tara couldn’t fault them one bit. “Don’t you two worry,” she said, not bothered by the display of affection between two people she cared for. “It’s okay. I mean, you two look too cute together…” Tara added with a chuckle. “Kinky, sure, but really cute…” she trailed off into a smile.



Laughing softly, Amy felt her cheeks flushed with more than one kind of happiness. “I really can’t help it,” she said without a hint of protest. “When she showed me what she kept from Friday night, I just wanted to have her…”



JoBeth flashed a grin, nuzzling back into Amy as she gave her a loving squeeze. “I like being had by her,” JoBeth explained to Tara, drawing a nodding laugh from the redhead.



“I can tell,” Tara replied, waving the girls forward into the room. “You can actually come on in and sit down if you like,” she said, feeling a little silly and remiss for not offering sooner.



Happy to let JoBeth lead the way, Amy followed her ponytailed and bound girlfriend over to the edge of Tara’s bed. “Thanks!”



“Haah,” JoBeth sighed, the strap between her legs shifting most pleasantly as she found a perch on the other end of the bed from Tara. A moment later, she felt Amy sit down behind her and the familiar, welcome warmth of Amy’s arms wrapping back around her. With that, all was right with her world. “There,” JoBeth said cheerfully, hoping to hold off too many tingling feelings until Amy had her safely back in her own room.



Turning to face Amy and JoBeth, Tara felt her curiosity over what exactly had transpired between them the night before rising up to a fever pitch. “So…” she started, not sure what exactly she could ask without prying too much.



JoBeth had been waiting for this moment to come. She knew Tara well and she knew that the redhead would want to ask about details as soon as she possibly could. “So?” JoBeth asked through an impish smirk.



Tara looked from JoBeth up to Amy, feeling a sense of relief at the unworried and very approachable smile on the blonde’s lips. Even in class, Amy always seemed to have an air of welcome about her and Tara felt the same about her now. At the very least she could ask the question; the worst that could happen was an ‘I’ll tell you later’ from JoBeth.



Her desire to know far outweighing her concern about asking, Tara looked back down at JoBeth with a curious smile. “So… what did happen?”



Amy broke into a laugh, having noted Tara’s obvious concern and worry about the question. She’d been wondering how the innately curious girl had held back even this long. “Should we tell her?” Amy asked JoBeth, drawing a quick nod of agreement from the brunette.



“Sure,” JoBeth chirped.



“How much do you want to know?” Amy asked, a playful sparkle shimmering in her eye as she turned to look back at Tara.



Blushing another deep shade of red, Tara couldn’t keep a small smirk from finding its way to the corners of her lips. “Well, I did hear a little bit of it,” Tara started with a soft chuckle that all three of the girls shared in.



“Sorry about that,” JoBeth laughed, blushing away herself. “I, uh…” she started to explain, leaning back against Amy’s body. “She’s really good,” she finally got out with a grin, drawing a playful growl out of Amy and a chuckle from Tara.



“So’s she,” Amy added.



Her heart racing at the thought of what the two girls were referring to, Tara imagined what it would be like to be in JoBeth’s position with someone. The decidedly naughty imaginings were not making the deep, tingling feeling inside her any easier to ignore. “Sounded like it,” Tara said with a smile. “But… I meant am I allowed to know… how?”



“How we went from ‘me coming over’ to ‘we’re seeing each other’?” Amy asked, giving JoBeth an adoring squeeze and resting her chin on her shoulder. “I don’t see why not…” she said, with JoBeth’s agreement following a moment later.



Nodding shyly, Tara shifted a little on the bed. “Yeah…” she trailed off, thankful that the two girls were as understanding as they were.



JoBeth smiled, more than happy to share with Tara what she knew she’d never be able to keep in. “Well, you know we did have a few things to straighten out…” she started, quickly relating the story of what she and Amy had talked about the night before.



Tara listened intently as Amy explained the details behind what had happened on Friday night with a bit of help from JoBeth. A few minutes of rapt attention slipped into a profound release of tension as Tara understood what had happened and let that last worry slip away for good. She was already satisfied that Amy cared for and loved her friend and finding out what had really happened on that Friday night made everything make a lot more sense.



As the tale turned back to what else had happened that night, Tara couldn’t help joining in with JoBeth and Amy’s giddy mood, grinning away and laughing along with them a little as the details came out. “Sounds like a pretty fun night,” Tara said, clutching on to one of her pillows happily.



“I’d say a little more than fun,” JoBeth laughed, relaxing in her bondage and in the comfort of Amy’s arms. Here, Amy had her, Amy wanted her and Amy was all hers in turn. She was with the two people that thought this all was wonderful and that accepted her for who she is; kinks and weirdness all.



“More than a little, for sure,” Amy agreed, giving JoBeth a kiss on her cheek and drawing a happy ‘hnn’ from her bound girlfriend. “And, well… We’re going to try seeing where this goes,” she said, her heart leaping brilliantly at admitting the fact.



Letting out a happy sigh, JoBeth nodded. “Yup,” she agreed. “We’ll keep it low key, at least until the semester is over, but I’m not letting her go now!” JoBeth added, drawing a laugh from her two companions.



“I know it’ll be a little tricky at first,” Amy said. “But I’ll be making sure that the other TAs grade your guys’ papers, just to be safe, and… yeah. It’s two months of having to keep it quiet, but I think it’s worth it,” she finished, feeling a delightful tingle as JoBeth cuddled against her.



It was blindingly obvious how happy JoBeth looked and Tara couldn’t help a happy smile. There was no way she’d ever get in the way of something like that. “You’ve got nothing to worry about here,” Tara said reassuringly. “Your secret is more than safe with me.”



“Thanks, Tara…” JoBeth smiled, filled with an appreciation and love for her best friend. If not for the soft strictness of the straightjacket, she would have wrapped the redhead up in a big hug right then and there.



“Thanks,” Amy seconded, glad that JoBeth had a friend in Tara that was as good to her as Lauren had been for her over the last week.



“And besides,” Tara started with a chuckle, watching JoBeth shift a little in her bonds. She’d seen how it looked loosely around JoBeth before and she’d seen the pictures that JoBeth had of Friday night, but here in person, seeing the way that the fabric stretched tight around JoBeth’s body in the sexiest of ways really made it obvious why both JoBeth and Amy liked it so much. “It looks like you two have gotten a pretty good start as it is…” she continued, figuring that JoBeth was feeling even more turned on by being in it than she was seeing it and thinking about it herself. A smirk tugged at the corners of her lips and Tara couldn’t deny that it looked like fun.



Laughing, JoBeth basked in the delightful tingle each shift sent through her. “A little bit…” she said, squirming naughtily in Amy’s loving embrace.



“I know, I know,” Amy laughed. “I said it before; I couldn’t help it…” she added, wrapping JoBeth up tight in her arms and causing the bound girl to laugh happily along with her. Giving JoBeth another kiss on her cheek, she looked back over at Tara. “I mean, she came back to bed asking to put in this! How could I turn her down?” she asked plaintively.



“Impossible for sure,” Tara agreed, giving the two girls a smile.



“What?” JoBeth asked with a smirk. “I wanted to be Amy’s…” she added with a playful pout. “And you made me wait a week…”



Grinning back at JoBeth, Amy was glad that she didn’t have to wait a moment longer anymore. “Hey, it’s not like I wanted to wait that long…” she said and JoBeth quickly gave up on the pout, replacing it with a beaming smile.



“Aww… It’s okay,” she said, leaning up to plant a kiss on Amy’s cheek. “I’m not mad at you.”



Tara watched JoBeth break into a giggle as Amy held her tight; the two girls were beyond cute together. “I’m just glad you two found a way to talk,” she said.



Smiling, Amy gave the redhead a nod. “Thanks to you again, Tara.”



“You’re a good friend, Tara,” JoBeth echoed, giving the girl a big smile. “Maybe a little bit nudgy though…” she added with a teasing wink.



“Yeah, but I don’t hear you complaining about that now,” Tara retorted, chuckling.



“Not at all,” JoBeth agreed, grinning away and happy to sink back into Amy’s arms. Shifting a little to get closer to the blonde, she accidentally tugged her arms a little bit harder than planned and the strap buckled between her legs sent a sharp, blissful jolt of pleasure up her spine. “Aah,” JoBeth squeaked, the blush on her cheeks deepening as she trailed off into a giggle.



Helping JoBeth settle in, Amy couldn’t help a knowing smirk. “Careful there, Jo,” she said, blushing a little herself. Seeing JoBeth there, getting turned on like that alone was enough to get Amy’s desires churning and the fact that she was comfortable being bound in front of Tara was even more exciting. It filled her with a sense of excitement to know that JoBeth enjoyed this with her too and it made her want to take JoBeth back into her bedroom and undo that one strap to show her just how much it turned her on.



JoBeth broke out into a giggle, grinning wide. “I’m good,” she said, catching her breath and cuddling into Amy adoringly. “Besides, isn’t that the point of that strap?” she asked, drawing a blushing laugh out of Amy.



Bright red herself, Tara felt her own tingling feelings growing a little more intense. Hoping that it wasn’t too obvious, she imagined that the strap between JoBeth’s legs was pulled pleasantly tight for her to make that sound. “Are you wearing anything under there?” Tara wondered aloud before realizing just what she’d asked.



Grinning away, JoBeth felt Amy’s hand shift a little lower on her hip. “Not really…” she confessed, shivering a little as she felt Amy’s hand slide under her shorts’ waistband and towards the bottom of the jacket.



“Heh, that you aren’t…” Amy chuckled seductively, slipping her fingers up under the bottom of the jacket, tickling the brunette’s side.



“Aims…” JoBeth giggled, squirming against the blonde and blushing a brighter shade of red. Grinning wider than ever, JoBeth pressed back against Amy’s body, not wanting her to stop at all.



“My Jo,” Amy said, her demure smile for JoBeth turning into a bright, loving grin. Giving JoBeth another kiss on her forehead, Amy drew a happy laugh from JoBeth. Leaving her hand right where it was without protest from her bound girlfriend, Amy looked back up at Tara. “Any reason you ask?”



Behind a small smile, Tara shook her head. “Oh, just wondering…” she trailed off, tucking a few stray strands of her hair back behind her ear idly.



The way that the redhead’s blush spread past her cheeks and her shy smile told Amy that something else was going on with Tara. The little glances she was stealing down to the straightjacket JoBeth was wearing would have been more than enough of a hint even without JoBeth having told her about Tara’s reaction to the gear from earlier in the week.



Amy didn’t want to make Tara feel like she was being called out on the spot or that liking the idea was anything other than completely okay. Considering that she already knew how much she and JoBeth enjoyed the bondage gear without freaking out, Amy figured that Tara had to find something about it appealing or exciting.



With a warm smile for the visibly flustered Tara, Amy decided that, even though it was the first time she’d ever been presented with actual bondage in any way, there wouldn’t be a better time to raise the topic. “Are you interested in this stuff too?” Amy asked softly, cutting straight to the chase and drawing a startled squeak from Tara.



Looking away, Tara felt her cheeks burning even hotter now. “I, uh…” she started, her lips curling up into a smirk as she tried not to break into an embarrassed laugh.



“Hey,” JoBeth started, sliding her foot across the few inches separating herself and Tara and tapping her roommate on her knee. When Tara looked back up at her, she gave the girl a supportive smile. “You know you can talk to us, right..?”



Tara nodded, letting out a chuckle. “I know,” she said, grateful to see both JoBeth and Amy’s welcoming smiles. She trusted JoBeth and now, knowing what she did about Amy and how caring she was, she felt like she could trust her too. The whole idea of bondage sounded so odd but she couldn’t deny that ever since Wednesday, she’d felt a surprisingly intense attraction to the notion. Being bound and willingly helpless in someone else’s control, so long as it was with someone she knew loved her, sounded exhilarating and almost erotic. It was a confusing feeling, but Tara was glad to have two friends here with her that she knew liked it already and that cared about her that she could talk to about it.



Taking a deep breath, Tara was thankful for the girls letting her think for a moment. It took a bit of focus to push aside all the naughtier tingles that were churning deep inside her and focus on the question. “I mean, I don’t really know that much about it,” Tara started, meeting Amy’s gaze for a moment. “I never really thought about it until JoBeth came home with all that stuff this week, but…”she trailed off for a moment, feeling a strangely relieved feeling growing inside her at admitting it out loud. “…I think I might.”



Amy felt honored that Tara trusted her and JoBeth with something this private and obviously initially embarrassing, but an implication wasn’t the same as coming out with it. If she was going to accept that it was completely okay, Amy knew from experience that she had to be able to say it and be okay with it herself, at least with the people she trusted.



Hoping that JoBeth could help her provide a place and be a friend she could talk to about it along with her, Amy pressed on. “You might what..?” Amy asked, a leading smile surfacing on her lips.



Swallowing hard, Tara felt her heart racing. She’d been thinking about it every day since JoBeth had first showed her everything on Wednesday and almost non-stop since hearing what had been going on next door last night. Seeing JoBeth strapped tight and looking like she was loving every second of it had been the tipping point; she wanted to know what that feeling was like.



Seeing the way that Amy was holding JoBeth so lovingly and the way that JoBeth was cuddling back against her so comfortably, she could see the trust and even love that the two already had for each other. The bondage was naughty, sexy, kinky and like nothing she’d ever thought of before, but with the right person, it looked like it could be a lot of fun. If JoBeth could trust Amy with this, then so could she.



“That I might like it,” Tara finally said, looking back up at Amy. “Being tied up. It looks like it’d be kind of… exciting.”



JoBeth lit up with a grin and couldn’t keep from breaking into a giggle, happy and honored that Tara had felt comfortable enough to admit it both to her and to Amy. “Oh, it is!” she confirmed cheerfully, causing both other girls to join her laugh.



Chuckling, Amy gave JoBeth an adoring squeeze and a peck on her cheek before looking over at Tara. “I think she’s a little biased,” she said playfully, tickling JoBeth’s sides.



“Probably,” Tara laughed, her heart warmed by the adorable sight of JoBeth squirming and smiling away.



Once Amy relented, JoBeth turned back and stole another kiss from Amy with a bright grin. “Oh, definitely,” she chuckled, nuzzling back against Amy. “And I really like when she-mmff!” JoBeth started before being cut off by the rubber ball of her ballgag slipping quickly behind her teeth.



“That’s enough of that for now,” Amy said with a teasing laugh, blushing a little and feeling her pulse quicken as she put the gag she’d had tucked in the waistband of her yoga pants to use. Giving JoBeth a moment to settle the ball in her mouth, Amy pulled the strap of the gag back to the notch that they’d found to be the perfect, comfortable but impossible to remove fit before buckling it in place.



Gingerly sliding the end of the strap into its loop, Amy leaned around to catch the blushing brunette’s bright and amused grin around the red rubber ball. She was happy to let JoBeth and Tara talk, but last thing she needed was for JoBeth to start giving too many specific details while she was in the room to turn fourteen shades of red during the conversation.



“There…” Amy said with a smile for JoBeth, tapping her girlfriend on the tip of her nose. Her heart melted with love at the adorable, cheerful squeak that JoBeth gave back to her.



“Aah…” Tara sighed softly, feeling that tingle between her legs pang sharply and kick into a higher gear at the sight of JoBeth gagged. It was another piece of her freedom that JoBeth had surrendered happily to Amy and it made Tara wonder what that feeling was like. She wasn’t fighting it or upset at all; instead, JoBeth was grinning away adoringly, returning the peck on the tip of her nose that Amy had just given her the best her gag allowed. Exciting and oddly arousing as it was, Tara couldn’t help a small chuckle at how cute the little scene was. “Aww…”



“Mmm!” JoBeth moaned happily, relishing every bit of Amy’s arms around her. The delightful warmth churning deep inside her had become even more irresistibly insistent when Amy had slipped the gag on and Amy’s adoring smile for her made it even better. The loving sparkle JoBeth saw in the blonde’s deep blue eyes was the most beautiful thing she’d ever seen and it made her feel like, to Amy, she really was something she desired and someone special.



JoBeth could tell from Amy’s smile that she was getting just as turned on as she was, having her all tied up like this in front of Tara. “Hmm hnn… Mheen Ahmy…” [Mean Amy…] JoBeth purred playfully back at the blonde, cuddling back into her and loving that Amy wanted her this much. The fact that she was turned on that much by her only fueled her desires to get Amy back into her bedroom and show the blonde just how good she and her bonds and her love made her feel.



“Yeah, yeah,” Amy replied with a smirk of her own, kissing JoBeth on her forehead. “I can’t have you telling her everything, Jo,” she continued, feeling her blush brighten again. “At least not while I’m still here…” Amy trailed off, looking over at Tara with a smile. “She can tell you later, Tara, but the last thing I need to do is turn redder than a fire truck!” she finished, sending all three of the girls into another laugh.



“Sounds like a deal,” Tara replied with a nodding smile.



The warmth of Amy’s breath against her neck and the sound of her voice in her ear gave JoBeth a delightful chill of pleasure. Pushing gently against the ball, she couldn’t help but enjoying that Amy had, as she expected, made it impossible to push out. “Ohh, Ah’ll tehh hrr…” [Oh, I’ll tell her…] JoBeth said as best her gag allowed, giving in to a giggle and seconding Tara’s agreement.



“I know you will,” Amy laughed, cradling JoBeth lovingly in her arms. JoBeth’s smile told her that all was well despite her little kinky surprise, but she couldn’t help wanting to make sure that she hadn’t taken anything too far too soon. “That in there okay?” she asked, arching an eyebrow at JoBeth.



Nodding, JoBeth rested her head back on Amy’s shoulder. “Mm hmm!” she replied, a playful sparkle shimmering in her eye. As much as she enjoyed being gagged by Amy, JoBeth loved the way it made Amy look at her and want to have her even more. “Buh ffhe rhhl qweffion ihf iff yhu fhinn ihh lhhkf ghhd…” [But the real question is if you think it looks good…] JoBeth asked, trailing off into a giggle and knowing full well what Amy’s answer would be.



“Yeah,” Amy chuckled, feeling her blush spread beyond her cheeks. “C’mere, you…” she purred, giving JoBeth a big kiss on her cheek when she leaned in closer.



“Hnn…” JoBeth sighed happily, donning a huge grin around the ballgag. Returning the kiss with a quick but loving nudge of her own gag against Amy’s cheek, JoBeth couldn’t wait to be able to kiss Amy for real again. The movement tweaked the strap between her legs once more, sending another blissful wave of pleasure rocketing through her and JoBeth wanted to wrap Amy up in a hug right now if she could, but Amy’s straightjacket and embrace held her wonderfully tight.



She’d never felt so loved or wanted by someone than she did with Amy and JoBeth was right where she wanted to be, in the arms of the girl of her dreams. “Mah Ahmy…” [My Amy…] JoBeth purred, nuzzling back into Amy’s shoulder again. She couldn’t imagine ever wanting to trade this feeling for anything in the world.



“My Jo,” Amy replied with a bright, affectionate smile and another small kiss to JoBeth’s forehead.



A beaming smile glowed on Tara’s features and she couldn’t help loving the sight of her best friend and her increasingly wonderful English TA looking so completely in love. “Just so you know, I officially approve of you two,” Tara said with a chuckle, drawing a pair of blushing smiles from the happy, cuddling couple.



Both Amy and JoBeth gave in to a laugh and JoBeth let out a deep, contented sigh, trying not to get too excited by Amy and her bondage here in Tara’s room. “Ahww… Ffhankff!” [Thanks!] she chuckled, a sentiment that was seconded by the blonde from behind her before JoBeth remembered what they’d initially came into Tara’s room to ask.



“Aah!” JoBeth chirped, turning to look back at Amy with a curious arch of her eyebrows. “Whah abahht luhnff?” [What about lunch?]



Recognizing JoBeth’s question, Tara felt her stomach rumble quietly. Perking up a little, she tried to set aside the rather pleasant warmth that had settled deep inside her. After skipping breakfast that morning, the mere mention of food told her just how much she’d missed it. “What’s up now?” Tara asked, looking over at the other two girls curiously.



“Yeah, that’s actually what we came over to ask you,” Amy replied, still happily cuddling with JoBeth. “I was going to take JoBeth here out for lunch downtown in a little while and if you’re not busy with anything, you’re more than welcome to join us,” she explained with a warm and inviting smile for the redhead.



“Yhu doh’n haff ahny chlaffef, fo yhu behhr khom wiff!” [You don’t have any classes, so you better come with!] JoBeth added, sending Tara into a fit of giggles.



“I’m sorry!” Tara laughed, shaking her head. “She just sounds so funny like that,” she said, trying not to let the rather delightful tingle that the sound of JoBeth’s gag-talk gave her get her naughtier thoughts going again. She couldn’t deny that there was something neat about it. Wondering if she’d sound the same way if she was gagged, Tara looked back at Amy and JoBeth with a bright blush. “Cute, but funny…”



“Definitely cute,” Amy agreed, chuckling along with both Tara and a grinning JoBeth.



Tara gave the girls a nod, unwilling to disagree. “But yeah, if you two don’t mind, I’d be happy to join you…” she said with a smile, feeling more than a little glad and honored that the two would want to include her.



“Of course we wouldn’t mind,” Amy replied, drawing a quick, agreeing ‘mm hmm!’ from JoBeth.



“Alright then,” Tara said, bashfully biting her lower lip and getting a cheerful ‘yay!’ out of her best friend in reply.



The two girls looked so cute at the other end of the bed, kinky or no, and Tara was already looking forward to hanging out with Amy and JoBeth together. “Then it’s decided,” Tara continued, trailing off into a chuckle. “But I’m guessing you’ll have to change before we go…”



Smiling and blushing away, Amy gave Tara a nod. “Yeah, we’ve still got a little getting ready left to do…” Amy agreed, looking over at JoBeth with a smirk. The deep, longing desire and excitement she felt inside her had only gotten more intense when she’d gagged JoBeth made her want to do something more than just get dressed and thanks to the naughty, impish little smile tugging at the corners of JoBeth’s lips, Amy had a feeling that JoBeth felt the same way.



JoBeth let out a giggle, giving Amy the best suggestive grin she could. “He hhe, yhah whe dho…” [Yeah we do…] she purred, nuzzling into the blonde’s shoulder and shifting a little against her straightjacket. The delightful tingle the inescapable pressure gave her spread over her and JoBeth wanted to get Amy back into bed as soon as possible.



“I’ll bet,” Tara chuckled, watching the two girls look so in love with each other and even a little bit more. She was honored that the two girls had trusted her with this and that she’d been welcomed her into their new, at least partially kinky and definitely wonderful little world. Tara was glad that JoBeth had found someone as wonderful as Amy to share it with and it was a trust that she was more than happy to return. “You two go and I’ll be over here when you’re ready to leave!”



“Thanks, Tara,” Amy said with a smile, turning to look over at the still-blushing redhead. She knew that the girl knew what they’d done last night and the fact that she was not only okay but approving of it made her feel even more comfortable. JoBeth had a really nice girl living next door, a good classmate and a great friend in Tara. “For everything.”



JoBeth nodded and ‘mmfed’ her agreement and Tara’s smile only widened. “Of course,” Tara said with an acknowledging nod. Amy seemed wonderful and with JoBeth looking so happy, she’d help them out again in a heartbeat. “I’m just glad I could help…” she added sweetly.



“You definitely did,” Amy replied, giving the redhead a smile. “Alright you…” she continued, turning her attention to the adorable and bound JoBeth in her arms. “I think it’s time to get you going…” Amy said, giving JoBeth a nudge and sliding over towards the edge of the bed.



With a grin around her ballgag, JoBeth delighted at the sight of Amy’s playful smirk. Following Amy over and off the bed, her movements inside her straightjacket tugged that strap between her legs quite brilliantly. “Oh, Ah’m ahlrehdy gohinh…” [Oh, I’m already going…] JoBeth giggled naughtily. “Ahn ihff tahmm foh yhu tho cohm thoo, Aihmff…” [And it’s time for you to come too, Aims…] she added, a mischievous ring slipping into her muffled tone.



Laughing along with Tara, Amy felt her blush deepen again. The insistent pang she felt between her legs for JoBeth was growing close to irresistible and Amy couldn’t wait to close the door behind them to pounce on the exquisitely sexy vision that was her JoBeth. “Okay, you,” Amy said chidingly, draping an arm over JoBeth’s shoulder. “We shouldn’t be more than an hour…” Amy started, turning to look at Tara for a moment. “We’ll swing by on our way out.”



Tara nodded, a knowing smile surfacing on her lips. Judging by the blushing grin on JoBeth’s face and Amy’s matching one, she could guess exactly what would take the girls that long. “Sounds good,” she said with a smirk. “And Amy…” she continued, causing Amy to give her a curious arch of her brow.



“Hmm?” Amy asked, reaching up to brush her hair back behind her ear.



“Nnn?” JoBeth chirped, perking up along with Amy from over by the bathroom doorway.



“Take care of JoBeth there,” Tara said with a suggestive chuckle, breaking into a big, blushing grin of her own.



Giggling along with Tara, JoBeth felt her arousal growing with each step. The straightjacket was too much fun and she wanted Amy at least twice before lunch. “Yhah, kohm tahk kharr ohf mhee!” [Yeah, come take care of me!] she seconded, drawing a laugh out of her girlfriend and lover.



“Oh, I’ll take care of you alright,” Amy said, giving JoBeth’s adorable butt a pinch and getting a squeak and a laugh from the bound brunette in return.



“Ahh!” JoBeth exclaimed before giving into a giggle and cuddling into Amy’s side. The strap between her legs was starting to drive her all kinds of wild and she was more than raring to go. Amy herself and just being in Amy’s control turned her on in more ways than one and sharing this morning with her, her first morning spent in bondage, was so fresh, new and decidedly excellent that she hoped it was only the first of many.



Giving the blonde a teasing shake of her behind, JoBeth gasped into her gag as the one strap sent another wave of tingling bliss coursing through her. “Aimff…” [Aims…] she cooed invitingly, heading back into the bathroom, barely able to wait for Amy to follow her back to bed, if they even got that far.



Amy started to follow JoBeth, her heart and mind racing with desire. She wanted JoBeth right now. “See you in a bit,” Amy said, turning to give Tara one last wave and a smile before getting on her way after JoBeth.



“See you two in a bit!” Tara chuckled, hearing the sound of another gagged giggle from JoBeth and the doors of the bathroom closing behind the adorable new couple.



Collapsing back down on her bed, Tara let couldn’t hold in the giant grin that had been bubbling up from inside her. “Hahhh…” she sighed, happy for Amy and JoBeth to be so much in love. The connection between them was obvious and something incredible and just seeing them like that, cuddling so affectionately in each other’s arms, was enough to tell her that things had worked out even better than any of them had hoped. She could sense there was something big there between them and that it was the start of something incredible.



With a much naughtier smile for herself, Tara’s thoughts turned to how JoBeth had looked in that straightjacket that she’d had strapped tight around her. It looked even more inescapable than she’d imagined and the little tugs that JoBeth had made against it looked like they accomplished nothing other than making her feel good; she’d been bound because she wanted to be and because Amy wanted her that much. She loved Amy and she’d belonged completely to the girl that loved her in return. Having seen the love and desire for JoBeth in Amy’s eyes, Tara knew that JoBeth had loved every second of it.



Her fantasies of being held that tight, bound and in her own lover’s arms sprang to mind and that tingling feeling between her legs grew even more insistent. Tara imagined being wanted and loved and even bound and gagged like that by a girl she loved in return and she felt her blush spreading well beyond her cheeks and ears.



The sound of her two friends next door sent her past the tipping point and Tara couldn’t suppress a bright, dreamy and more than a little turned on smile of her own. They’d be back over for lunch eventually, but there was no reason that she couldn’t take care of one or two more things before then. Giving in to her imagination, Tara let her hand slip down a little lower, deciding that she had plenty of time to think about what it would be like to share that with her own special someone before Amy and JoBeth were ready to go.
