What Do You Fear? [randomname98766789 and Amaranthine]

Fuck. Alicia had acted on instinct, desperate to stand up for her husband. That may have not been the right choice in terms of safety, but morally it still felt like the right call. It would have been wrong of her to just stand by while these people acted like grown bullies. The way that they eyed her up sent a creeped out shiver down her spine, and as soon as Bryce opened her is mouth he was hit in the head. Things were quickly doing downhill - and Alicia had to shake her head. There was no way Ofelia would be treated like this at the ranch, there was no reason for them to be treated like this now.

They had no guns now, though - no knives, no weapons of any kind. They had no way to fight back and these guys had guns that they were more than willing to point at peoples’ heads. Even accidentally, it wasn’t that hard for fingers to slip and triggers to be depressed. People willing to point guns at others were generally prepared to follow through. Adrenaline started to course through her veins, heart pumping hard in her chest, as her hand clung to Bryce’s with a white-knuckled grasp.

She looked towards him, and the way she nodded at him said that she understood they had to do as they were told. When they didn’t start moving quick enough a man grabbed at her hand and tried to pull it away from Bryce - and she had to let go in order to try to pull her limb away from the stranger. “Get moving.” The two words were spoken with such seriousness that they didn’t have a choice, and as soon as the strong grasp on her arm was released both of the pair were shoved forward. They were being led in to the building, where who knows what would happen. Alicia could tell that these guys meant business, though.

- - - - -

The way that Nick reacted, apologizing to her, made Anna question if she had come off harsher than she intended. She hadn’t been trying to bother him, she wasn’t even bothered herself, and so she leaned to the side to press a kiss to his temple. “It’s okay,” she said quietly before pulling away. No point in letting the boy feel bad, he hadn’t done anything wrong. Whatever perceived wrong seemed to be diminished by the offer of marijuana, so life was still good. That was all that really mattered, right?

When Nick asked about Josh, it was Molly who spoke up from where she sat in a chair by the table. “Yeah, he went off shortly after Anna showed up to figure out some more about what’s going on,” she explained. “I haven’t seen him since and it’s been a few hours, so there has to be something going on… It’s bad, isn’t it?” Inside threats, outside threats - that was all this world seemed to offer these days. Anna hadn’t been able to give her many real answers at all, not that one could expect her to know the ins and outs of everything.

Everything about the future was up in the air right now. Would the two groups be able to find peace? Would one of them be forced to flee, or more people slaughtered? Molly had her own joint perched on an ashtray on her table, and with the kid asleep she had no problem smoking in the main room. The new threat was stressing her out immensely, whether she was voicing that or not. Anna didn’t worry for herself, but every person that she cared for was here. It didn’t matter what state she was in, she would fight to the death to keep those people safe.
 
There were no markings on the building. It appeared to be just one story with a basement area. When they entered the front of the building, there were other members of the group standing, watching them. A door to the basement was opened and down the stairs they went. Bryce had a tough time seeing Alicia. The man pushing her arm stood in front of Bryce, behind Alicia. When they reached the bottom of the stairs, Bryce quickly realized where they were. It looked like one of those old jails you saw in Western movies where the jail was a small building with a few cells throughout. He supposed this was the place prisoners were held. They were led to the end of the row of cells to find that it was empty before they arrived. One of the men removed a key and slid open the cell. Inside the cell, he could see a small mattress and a chair.

There was a bucket, presumably for any restroom needs. That was it. It was no five-star hotel. It was larger than he imagined with more than enough room for the two of them. They were both pushed inside to (thankfully) the same cell. When that was done, Bryce thought it was over. After all, what was the point of doing anything else? They were in a cell. What more could they do?

It seemed that the man was contemplating what to do next. He started to step out, but then his eyes fell upon Alicia. “Hold on.” He spoke to another man nearby. This first man returned two minutes after walking off with some rope and a white cloth. What were they going to do with that? “I’m going to get the girl tied up. And you… you might be tempted to free her. If you do, you’re not going to like what happens next. We’ll make you watch as we put her through so much pain. We’ll kill her right in front of you, so don’t you dare untie her. Now, sweetheart…” The part about threatening Alicia was spoken to Bryce, telling him what would happen if he untied her, but now, they were talking to Alicia. “How about you lose that shirt?” If she resisted, he just figured he would have to do that for her. First, the shirt, then the tank top. That was his plan.

Nick had not detected an ounce of harshness in Anna’s voice when she mentioned him being cheesy. He was probably just overthinking it. Nick knew it was not a serious matter. Yet, he just apologized out of habit. Since they had quite a cheesy night previously, he figured anymore of that would not bode well for him. Her answer made him feel even better, meaning it had dropped from his mind within seconds. There was nothing else for him to think about, except for enjoying this moment with Anna. The joint made it so much easier. They were both so much more relaxed when they were together with a joint.

The answer did not surprise Nick when Molly replied. It made sense why Josh went out there. He was part of the militia and they were facing quite the threat. He wondered how it made Molly feel. Nick doubted those assholes his mother found were saints. However, it could have easily been Josh, right? If he decided to take another shift or if his superior asked him to go with the team… what would they be doing right now? It could not have been easy on her, which made him realize it was a great idea for Anna to be here. Anyone in the militia had a target on their back. While Nick did not care about 99 percent of them, it would suck for something to happen to Josh.

Nick thought about telling Molly the truth. However, he realized that it was probably something she should talk to Josh about, so Nick just shrugged. “Not really sure. Everyone’s scrambling. I’m just not too sure what’s happening. Madison talked with the Otto family. Who really knows? I’m sure Josh’ll know what to say when he gets back.” Nick stated as he focused back on Anna and the joint. “How’s that shoulder?” He hoped Anna wouldn’t kill him for that. It felt like at least a full day since he last asked her about her injury, so she couldn’t technically say he was on her ass about it… right?
 
“No,” Alicia objected wholeheartedly as the man’s creepy gaze turned to her and he had the nerve to tell her to take her clothes off. Her arms pulled in tight towards her body as she looked to Bryce, the fear evident in her eyes. This didn’t feel like one of those situations where he could just swoop in and save her - they were at an immense disadvantage here, and the man had already threatened to make him watch her die if he tried anything… And he had guns. “No - no, no, no. I’m not taking my clothes off for you, you sick fuck.”

That was all the man needed to grab her by the arm, taking one forearm in a strong grasp before grabbing the other one as well. He pried her limbs apart forcefully and then slid his grasp upwards along her arms (from the look in his eyes, he was enjoying something… either her fear or the way her body felt) until she could grab her shirt by the shoulders and pull it back and off of her body. It slid down her arms but she held on to it by the end of the sleeves, refusing to easily give in.

”You’ll let go and do as I say, or your little boyfriend here will take a bullet.” It seemed that this man was not beyond threatening either of them, and Alicia’s eyes teased up as her fingers released the fabric. It took everything in her not to start crying as the man proceeded to call her a good little girl and then pried her tank top from her unwilling body. Left in only her bra, she was expecting to have that removed as well. Alicia well and seriously thought there was a chance that this would go beyond humiliation and control and in to something much more dastardly. Coming here had been a bad idea.

- - - - -

There had been so little time to make sense of anything yet… and luckily for Molly, Josh walked in to the door a moment later. He stole the older of the women’s attention while Anna actually had (mostly) good new to share with Nick. She did have to give him credit, he hadn’t bothered her about her shoulder since the night before. That also wasn’t a very difficult accomplishment when he had been busy all day long but…. Baby steps.

“Good news, actually. Swelling’s going down, can move it about as well as expected. Mol thinks I could have the stitches out in a few days,” Anna said to him as a child’s cry drew the attention of the other people in the room away to the bedroom. They had stuff to work out anyways, and Josh was a more private person than either of the girls seemed to be, so in a way it was apt timing. Anna pulled her outer layer to the side, down past the curve of her shoulder, and then pulled the sleeve of her tank top inwards.

If Nick didn’t believe her, he would at least be able to see that the wound was healing decently. Molly might not have been a doctor but she had been in school to be a nurse (did Nick know about that? Probably not.) so Anna trusted her opinion on something as simple as if something looked like it was healing. “Guess ya didn’t fuck my stitches open… I don’t know whether that means you did a really good job or a really bad one… Depends on the metric we use.” The latter metric being, of course, shoving her against a wall or over a sink or any other degree of roughness or pushing her limits. As seriously as her tone was, the smirk on her face said she was just clowning around.
 
Bryce wanted to do something badly. All he could do was yell at the man while another guard pinned him back. If what Madison said about these people was true, they were not above killing people. The story about the way one of the militia members were found… birds picking at brains… it was awful. Not only did they have no issue with killing. They had no issue with torturing, with being brutal. Did Bryce and Alicia really want to test that? It was worrisome, that was for sure. However, Bryce could only hope that if they complied, nothing would be done to them.

As expected, they wanted her bra removed as well. “Off with the bra.” He ordered. If she refused, he would take the same liberties that were taken with her tank top. They were not shy about pulling the bra down, either. Even worse, the clothes were handed to someone outside the cell. There was no telling if they would ever be seen again. “There you go. You’ve humiliated her… made her feel uncomfortable. Are you happy?” Bryce grumbled. This did not sit well with him for many reasons, from not wanting anyone to sexually threaten his wife to not wanting her to be subject to this trauma. However, the man was not yet done.

“Oh, not even close. As we said…. Your wife needs to be tied up. She’s causing way too much trouble and we cannot have that.” The man looked back at Alicia and gave her some orders. “Now, place your hands behind your back.” It was the order given as he prepared the rope, ready for her to do as he said. If she wanted to continue playing games and disobey, he would have been happy to pull her arms back for her.

Good news. Nick could use some of that right now. It was a relief when Anna did not seem disturbed by him asking about her shoulder. Honestly, if Nick went an entire calendar year without asking about an injury, he would have totally expected her to roll her eyes at him and act all exasperated the next time he did ask the question, no matter how many days had passed. It was a nice surprise when that was not the case here. Nick’s eyes did inspect the stitches, not because he did not believe Anna. He believed her fully.

Simply, it would just make him feel better after seeing for himself. It did look better. Less swollen. It did not look like the stitches were hanging on by a thread. It was going well. Nick could relax just a little more knowing that she was on the path to healing up. One thing he did not know was about the finer aspects of her injury, with her fine motor functions acting up. He did not know about her trouble with feeling in her hands. So, to him, he thought everything was going just fine. He did not question her more. Instead, he thought about last night and Nick chuckled.

Well, with his metric, that was a good thing. Plus, they both had fun and she made it through unharmed. What was bad about that? Nick knew she was teasing, though. And he could tease back. “I get what you mean. I promise you, as soon as you’re all healed up, I’m going to find every sink, couch, and bed that I can find. Every wall, too. I’m going to make sure that you’re bedridden for another reason.” Nick beamed at her, as the joint did help him loosen up.
 
Alicia audibly whimpered as the man told her to take off her bra as well, and pulled her arms tight around her bare torso. She didn’t want to, and she felt utterly disgusted with the situation. The man‘s hands on her, however, disgusted her even more and as soon as he’d laid a finger on her bra strap she shivered. “Okay!” She cried out and stepped backwards away from him, arms shaking as she reached around her back to unclasp the hooks of her bra. Her upper arms were tucked so tight to her body that it couldn’t fall away initially, and she looked to her husband helplessly.

There was nothing she could do, but she did not want to bare her body to this stranger. There didn’t seem to be anything that Bryce could do about it either. When it seemed to be that she had taken too long to submit to the man’s demand, he pulled at her arm and the wiggle room gave way for her bra to fall just slightly away from her breasts. The straps fell down her shoulders and on to her upper arms, at which point several tears escaped her eyes as she relented. She had no choice, right?

”You can’t tie me up,” Alicia said, shaking her head violently. She was not trying to fight with him but vaguely try to reason, some meager hope that her cries would make him change her mind. The only person in this world allowed to tie her up was Bryce - him, and him alone. The man didn’t like the way she disobeyed, however, and her arms were forcefully pulled behind her back. He bound her wrists much rougher and tighter than Bryce ever would have, and the way she looked at her husband begged him to find some way to help her.

— — — — —

“Is that a threat or a promise, Nicky boy?” Anna quipped in return, a mischievous grin her face as she did so. Nick seemed to be in a light enough mood to at least play around with her a little, so the time with his mother couldn’t have gone too bad, yeah? Nick had already said she was going to be fine but Anna knew him And he could be like she was sometimes - downplaying the seriousness of things, especially when it involved his own suffering. As much as Anna didn’t care too much about Madison’s fate on a personal level, it would bug her for the fact that it would hurt Nick if something went wrong.

For now, though? The baby had gone quiet in the bedroom but no one had re-appeared. There was a soft murmur of voices, not loud enough to make sense of, and Anna could only assume that Josh was filling Molly in on everything that had happened and the Militia’s side of things. That left her and Nick alone in the living area and, taking advantage of the moment of privacy to misbehave just a little, Anna leaned her head in to kiss the pulse point in Nick’s neck. She trailed up towards his jaw bone and pulled away once she reached just a few inches from his lips.

”Share?” She asked, eying up the joint in his hand like she hadn’t had her own already. It wasn’t like it was really his weed, right? Molly was her best friend. That wasn’t a very serious thought, though. In reality there was enough to go around and there was more outside just waiting to be ready.
 
Bryce wished there was something he could do. Instead, the only thing Bryce could do was look at his wife helplessly as her wrists were tightly tied together behind her back with rope. He did not even need to inspect the rope or the knot to tell it was tight. There was no way she could escape. Hell, even if Bryce tried to untie her, he did not know if he could. “Stop your complaining and stop your crying.” The man was unamused with Alicia. She was not going to convince him to stop. It was just not going to happen.

“I can do anything I want to you.” The man pointed it out, roughly shoving Alicia down onto the bed. This really made Bryce uncomfortable. What was coming next? What was he going to do to her? Bryce felt his heart racing. Thankfully, he did not go for her pants. For whatever reason, these people thought the removal of shoes was paramount to any situation. That’s what happened next. Her shoes were removed while one hand kept her legs pinned down on the bed. Her socks were removed, too. It left Alicia barefoot while her shoes joined the clothes outside.

“Now, let’s make sure you don’t go around kicking anyone.” Just like he did with her wrists, her ankles were tightly tied together with another length of rope. She was not going to do anything. She was truly helpless. He tugged on the ropes a few times with his hands to make sure she was not going to break free. Then, he stepped back. “Have you learned your lesson yet?” He asked, now producing a white cloth, giving her one last chance to speak.

--

“Why not both?” Nick laughed in response to Anna’s quip about his last statement being a promise or a threat. It might as well have been both. Nick laughed at the notion because he could see it in Anna’s eyes, too. She would not let him get away with anything less than what he promised her. Maybe it could serve as more motivation for Anna. The sooner she got better, the sooner they would return to having unbridled, raw fun together. If she took her rehab seriously and listened to the doctors, they would return to normal in no time. Although Nick was unaware of the timetable, the progress she made since day one could not be ignored.

The mood was light for a reason. It was needed. After the last few days, Nick needed a break from the seriousness. Other than their date night last night, it had been difficult to find moments like this where they could joke and take things lightly. Nick valued these moments. He wanted to hold onto these moments for as long as he could. He did not need some grand gesture, like a date night, to show how much he cared, to take away the serious tone. These little moments were so valuable.

“Of course, Anna.” Nick chuckled, holding the joint out to her so she could take it. “For the record, I am happy you’re doing better. You have no idea how much better that makes me feel, too. I’m hoping we can just have a relaxing night tonight. Today has been crazy. We could use a break.” Nick added, shrugging his shoulders, although he did not think Anna had any crazy plans, to begin with.
 
Alicia cried out as she was shoved on to the best, a combination of surprise and fear - the man may have told her to be quiet but she couldn’t help it. Alicia was not sure if she had ever been more afraid than this in her life, and with each moment she liked the direction that things were turning even less. The only relief was that they didn’t pull her pants off of her body, but until her ankles were bound together she had not considered it off the table. She wasn’t surprised that her shoes and socks were taken off either - the group who had returned to the ranch had their shoes taken, too.

No amount of kicking and putting up a fight was going to help her, and resisting seemed to just make things worse for her. Alicia was also at the point of accepting defeat instead of seeing any kind of way out of this. She was pinned down and then tied up, left helpless for Bryce to watch. Alicia had seen a few fucked up situations in her life, even been in some herself since the end of the world began, but this seemed to be a new low.

“What is wrong with you people?” Came her response, and the man just shook his head. It seemed like Alicia had not learned her lesson, and before she had even finished speaking he had shoved the cloth over the young woman’s mouth. There was no care and delicacy like when Bryce tied her - he had no intentions of playing nice. The gag was tied so tight around her head that she could feel the knot at the base of her skull pressing in to her skin. Everything about this was rough, aggressive and uncomfortable and there was absolutely nothing that she could do about it.

- - - - -

As nice as big things could be sometimes (and sometimes they were simply uncomfortable), Anna could be more than happy in little moments. During sobriety it had been hard to get her to want to slow down, a busy body was a busy mind, but not every moment could be adventure and hot sex. People needed a chance to get their bearings and relax, and it wasn’t like they were coming home from dive bars and parties any more. The stakes were so much higher, and that made those little moments all the more important.

”Nick… I’m invincible,” Anna said to him as she took the joint from him and took a hit, holding it deep in to her chest until the irritation at the back of her throat told her she was about to cough if she didn’t get some fresh air. She wouldn’t have been so invincible in different circumstances, but one way or another Anna had a way of getting through just about everything that had ever happened to her. Overdoses, fights - a bullet. “I’m not going anywhere any time soon, so you’re stuck with me.”

After another hit she handed the joint back, and once it had finished up Anna used the fact that she had her arm around Nick’s shoulders to her advantage. She popped one leg behind him and the other over his front, and while sitting up at his side she leaned in to kiss him. They were alone, he was going on about how good she was doing - no harm in making out, right? But after the first kiss she pulled away from him, and leaned back to try to goad him in to going a little bit more vertical and getting on top of her.
 
After the cloth over-the-mouth gag was tied around Alicia’s head, the evil man was finally done with her. He stepped back, against the wall with a smirk. “Now, let’s see if that teaches you a lesson or not. I’m hoping you act up again, personally. We can have a little more fun if you still act stubborn.” Bryce’s blood ran cold at the comment, only imagining what that must have meant. During this entire ordeal, he was pushing against the two men, yelling at them while Alicia was bound and gagged. However, they did not let him move. The first man stood in front of Bryce and looked into his eyes.

“Again, you might be tempted to untie her. Don’t. If we come back and she’s untied, even without her gag… there will be hell to pay. We’ll kill her right in front of you.” The man meant business and Bryce was not going to tempt fate. Then, he looked back at Alicia. “And if you do anything stupid, we’ll kill your boyfriend right here. That’s what you have to keep in mind. Be smart while you two are waiting in here.” Just like that, the three men in the cell walked out and closed the cell, locking it. Bryce watched as the clothes and shoes removed from Alicia’s body were confiscated and taken elsewhere. There was no hope to redress her, either.

As soon as Bryce could, he moved from the wall over to the bed where he sat down beside Alicia. He pulled her into an upright, sitting position as he gently cupped her face with both hands. “Alicia, babe. I’m so sorry that I couldn’t stop them from doing this to you. I know you want to be untied but... I… I don’t think we should risk it. I don’t think they’re bluffing.” Bryce hoped she did not hate him for that.

--

That was exactly what one of Nick’s biggest fears was. He feared Anna thinking she was invincible. Nobody could argue she survived a lot in her day. Even before the infected took over the world, she endured things unimaginable. Nick was not even privy to some of these events. If there was such a thing as an invincible person, that person was Anna. Of course, Nick knew that nobody would survive everything. Everyone had to die. He worried that Anna might feel so bulletproof, she would take unnecessary risks and get herself into deep trouble.

These were words and thoughts Nick would NEVER dare uttering. Oh, he could just imagine the clashing of heads they would have. Anna was so strong, at times it seemed like it was all she knew. He figured that was one of many reasons why she hesitated to ask for help, to trust other people. She fought through life, mostly alone. Even when Nick entered her life, it was not like he could be a reliable source of support at all times. Even before they parted ways, Nick sometimes did not always act emotionally accepting or helpful.

It was one of the multiple regrets Nick had, although he was working on that. Nick never meant to read more into a sentence than was actually there. He knew Anna was not about to leave the ranch and try saving the world because she thought she could not die. At the same time, he figured she believed those words to a degree. “Well, I would only want to be stuck with you, if I am stuck with anyone,” Nick replied, returning the kiss, although he hesitated when she pulled him down. “Anna… are you sure?” He asked, obviously tempted, but also worried about her shoulder.
 
Alicia also thought that these men needed to be taken seriously - look how quickly they had decided that they needed to strip her and tie her up. Over what? Being bothered that they had tripped her husband? Alicia desperately wanted to be untied or at least de-gagged, but she believed wholeheartedly that these people would act on the threats that they had made. She was left vulnerable and helpless, truly at the whims of someone else in a way that she never was with Bryce. With Bryce there was love - love and trust. There was safety. Nothing about this screamed ‘safe’ at all.

”We shouldn’t have stayed,” she said in return. The gag around her mouth kept her from speaking completely freely, but she had more clarity to her words than if the gag had been in her mouth. It was almost surprising that they’d chosen something so unrestricting after the way they had stripped her down from the waist up. Did they want Bryce to hear the fear in her voice as she struggled to keep herself from breaking down? They seemed like the type of sick fuckers.

The way that Alicia looked at her husband as he cupped her face showed that she understood why he felt the way that he did. With tears in her eyes she nodded, and her body leaned towards his. He could at least hold her, right? They hadn’t said anything about whether or not they could touch each other, just that there would be hell to pay if either of them acted up. Overwhelmed by the helplessness of her situation, Alicia needed to have her husband’s touch.

- - - - -

“Am I sure?” Anna teased in return, sticking her tongue out at her way too concerned boyfriend. She’s almost mocking about it in that way she saw as playful affection, and once her tongue was back in her mouth she leaned in to kiss him again. She was going to be fine - it wasn’t like she was trying to pull him with her bad arm, and there was a pillow on the edge of the couch she could get comfy in.

Of course she wanted to be kissing him - and it wasn’t like she was going to be stripping Nick bare on her best friend’s couch when said best friend could enter the room at any moment. Back when the girls had shared an apartment and Molly was going to be gone for who knows how long… Yeah, Anna had no problem sneaking a casual handy and letting it turn in to something much more heated. There had also been a lot more implied privacy.

”Of course, doofus. When have I ever not wanted to kiss you?” She had a point - even in the moments she was mad at him, Anna had always found Nick attractive enough to want to kiss. In fact, many of their fights of the past had ended up in heated make-up sex. It was a morally condoned method of getting all the pent up anger out, yeah? Of course, right now was much less angry and much more ‘every day’ than those moments were.
 
“I know, babe. I know.” Whispering the words, Bryce agreed with his wife. They made a mistake by staying here. They were arrogant. They felt certain things would be okay. They were not safe. Bryce just had to hope Jake would return with Ofelia in one piece, along with the bottled water. How long would that take? One day? Two? Who knew? Because of the extensive experience Bryce had deciphering Alicia’s gag talk with much more effective gags, hearing her now was no problem at all. Judging by her tone and her body language, she wanted to be held.

They did not say anything about touching. So, Bryce was going to take advantage of that, at least. He pushed Alicia back down onto the bed, onto her side facing him with her back near the wall. Then, he climbed in and wrapped his arms around her tightly, keeping his hands locked together around her shoulders. He loved her so much and he did not want to risk anything happening to her. This way, he was symbolically protecting her. He was putting himself between her and the door. That was the whole point of pressing against her like this.

Now, their faces were close together. He looked into her eyes and now leaned down to press a kiss against her lips. He kissed her right over the gag, holding it for as long as he could. He finally dropped his hands down to rest behind her back, into her bound hands, trying to let her hold his own. Would it help her feel any better? Bryce had no idea, but Bryce knew he had to try!

--

Okay… maybe it was not the best question to ask. Perhaps, Nick should have thought of something else to ask. He knew she was sure about kissing him and he just chuckled at her reaction of sticking her tongue out at him. Nick was not sure about how far she wanted it to go. He just knew that being on top of her could put pressure on her shoulder, especially if she wanted to do more than kiss. However, the more Nick thought about it, they could be careful and still kiss like this, right? He knew that she was going to be alright and he knew that she could handle it.

Still, Nick wanted to make sure that he was not going to go too far or get too rough with her. Plus, they were in an unideal spot to do anything more than kiss. So, he should have thought about that first. It was just the worrier within Nick coming out. He just wanted to ensure that he was not putting pressure on her.

“You’re right, you’re right. I am sorry about that. I guess I should just shut up here and get back to kissing you, huh?” Nick laughed, allowing her to pull him down on top of her like she planned to at first before he interrupted her actions. He leaned down and kissed her back, starting the kiss right where they left off, immediately attempting to slide his tongue into her mouth when they started this next passionate kiss.
 
Alicia found herself praying that Jake would be back with Ofelia and this place’s demands would be met in a day. Before they had been taken prisoner it had simply been a hope in her mind, a reasonable expectation. Now it was a necessity - the sooner that they could get out of here, the better. It would be hard to find a way out on their own if it was even possible at all. Alicia had never expected to actually feel like she was trapped and defenceless all tied up but life just seemed to have a way of throwing her curve balls.

Bryce seemed to understand her even when she didn’t have the words to say what she needed, though. “Thank you,” she said through the gag as he helped her in to a laying position. Being face to face with Bryce also meant that her breasts were hidden from anyone who may have tried to watch them from the distance or act like a creep in general. The only person on this planet who was supposed to see her body like that was her husband, and she felt safer simply shielding her body.

Alicia leaned in to Bryce as he wrapped his arms tight around her and held her close, shedding a couple stray tears as she buried her face in to his shirt. It was a shame, having something so normally kinky to them be used against them like this… Any other day, any other situation and this would have been incredibly arousing instead of incredibly terrifying. This wasn’t one of the games that they played, though. When Bryce kissed her over the gag she was reminded of that part of her life, though, and for a moment things felt a little bit easier. To the best of her ability she grabbed his hand just like he had hers, and it was impossible to be kissed by Bryce without trying to kiss him back - gag or no gag.

- - - - -

Anna was really going to enjoy the day that Nick stopped thinking she was ignoring her own capabilities, but that day was not too today. She had to try to not be too bothered by it - deep down (and even superficially) he was just trying to look out for her. She couldn’t really blame him for that, as much as it wasn’t really what she wanted or needed. But who knew - maybe one day she would look back on these times and really appreciate it. The world had already ended and either of them could die tomorrow - they were better off having memories of sloppy kisses and giving a shit about each other than fights and mayhem.

”That’s more like it,” Anna said with a wicked grin as she net his lips eagerly. She was careful with her injured side, kept the arm tucked close to her body, but that didn’t mean that she couldn’t grab at his clothes or let her other hand grasp at his hair and pull him in closer. There was rarely such a thing as ever ’enough’ with her and especially when it came to Nick she could never seem to get enough - addicts weren’t known for their inclination towards moderation, after all. Was it really selfish if what she wanted was someone else?

Moments like this couldn’t last forever but it was fun to think about anyways. Unfortunately when given more than a few minutes Anna was bound to start getting handsy, and every ounce of her attention was on Nick as her hand trailed down his lower abdomen to grasp at his hands. With almost perfect timing someone spoke up, and Anna hadn’t even heard the door open: “Aaand now we’re really back home,” came Molly’s response as Anna then peered over her shoulder with a mixture of pride and guilt on her face.
 
It hurt Bryce more than he could put into words when he watched the tears slipping from Alicia’s eyes. All he could do was lift one of his hands from hers to wipe away the tears. He understood why she felt like crying right now. He did not blame her. Something usually personal, kinky, and romantic for them was being stolen. It was sickening. Bryce never wanted her to have a poor experience with bondage, fearful that it might come up again later. Part of him wondered if he should try taking her mind off things. What if he turned it back into an arousing moment for Alicia? What if they made love?

Bryce had questions like these running through his head right now. It was so inappropriate though… right? He just shook the notion away for now and returned both hands back to hers. After they kissed, he pulled back from her gagged lips and just gazed into her eyes now. Even full of tears, they were so pretty, so passionate. Even with the situation they had found themselves in, there was still so much emotion and so much love for him in her eyes. That was special. He loved her deeply and he was going to show that to her while they were here. “I love you, Princess. Everything is going to be okay.”

Bryce was tempted to let his eyes tilt down, to take a quick look at her breasts again. How could he help himself? It would take both of their minds off the issue at hand and they could just forget about the world around them. Of course, he was just going to play it by ear to see if Alicia tried to start something herself. So, for now, he held her and kissed each of her cheeks, right where he wiped over her tears. Her skin still felt good against his lips. He loved how it felt to kiss her cheek and he hoped it made her feel better.

Nick always found it peculiar how caring about Anna and showing concern could lead into an argument or a fight. It was nothing new. Nick always wondered why Anna felt this way. It was one of those things he had not quite understood about his girlfriend yet. Honestly, Nick was never sure if he would understand it. Would she ever open up enough to him and tell him? That remained to be seen. As of now, Nick just rolled with the punches and tried to tread carefully while looking out for her, too. He cared about her, so that’s why he made sure she was always taking care of herself.

Also, because he did value their relationship, he was not quite as overbearing as he could have been. Nick often kept comments to himself and held his tongue. Even when he wanted to tell Anna she was being dangerous or that she needed to slow down from something, he kept his mouth shut. It would never end well for him. Nick preferred to avoid having a confrontation if possible. Thankfully, this was not an issue that would seem to result in anything like that. Instead, they were enjoying a nice makeout-fest on the couch of Molly’s house. That sounded familiar.

When she grabbed him by the shirt to pull him closer, Nick did not hesitate. He wrapped his right hand around the back of her neck to pull her closer. His left hand was gripping the hem of her shirt as well, slightly pulling it over her abdomen, but not by much. When molly walked out, Nick craned his neck just a bit to look at her and he chuckled at the comment. However, that did not stop him from going right back to it, now kissing her neck since it was exposed.
 
Bryce would not lie to her, but the definition of ‘okay’ was not typical in this moment. Alicia knew without a doubt that he would keep her safe, hold on to her and care for her through this traumatic experience, and do everything he could if she were to be threatened. Unfortunately, he was not going to be able to make this go away like he had been able to do with so much other stuff. For now, at least, he was just as helpless as she was - with a threat held over her head, Alicia knew that he was not about to risk her safety. It was a shitty situation all around.

Was it crazy to want to close her eyes and pretend this was another world, where she was bound up with her own consent and only her lover at her side? Strangely enough, that became a thought in Alicia’s head as her husband held her close and kissed over the fabric that gagged her mouth and covered her face just below her cheekbones. She held on to his hands a tight and shimmied her bound body closer to his, needing the endless closeness. She brought her bound legs up over his to vaguely get closer to him, her bare feet pressed to the back of his calves.

Maybe it wasn’t all crazy to want to close her eyes and pretend this was part of their normal… Would Bryce think that she was crazy? It was Bryce. He was always willing to hear her out, and he wouldn’t make her feel bad if he thought something was inappropriate. “Touch me,” she dared to say, wondering if he would agree to put his hands on her body.

- - - - -

Molly shook her head, not surprised in the least by the pair on her couch. She’d spent the better part of a couple years around them near daily (and Anna daily for much, much longer) so their antics came as no surprise. “Don’t you guys have your own place to go?” Molly asked, though she was unaware of the burnt down house and what Nick was thinking about making of it. Molly was also on Nick’s side - that Anna needed to be taking it easy. From the way that Anna was grabbing at Nick, she was clearly the aggravator here, though. Of course… no one could really expect any differently.

Obviously, Molly didn’t want to stick around. “Don’t break her,” she simply said as she turned her back and returned to the bedroom. Josh was in their with a very awake Noah anyways, so she was better off hiding away. As soon as the bedroom door closed Anna laughed - Nick could be just as ballsy as she was sometimes. “Oh… You’re wonderful,“ said, amused by the situation at hand, as she fought back the urge to moan as Nick’s lips found her neck.

He knew that was one of her weak points - that was not fair play. At the same time, Anna was the one who would say all was fair in love and war when she was going out of her way to rile him up. Nick really was going to owe her some mind blowing roughness once she was up for it.
 
“Yes, ma’am.” There was not a single ounce of hesitation in his voice. When Alicia asked him to touch her, his eyes darkened with lust and with need, mixed with pure love and happiness. When she asked him to touch her, Bryce realized they were on the same page again. That was not new. Bryce wanted to do the same thing Alicia wanted him to do. He lifted his right hand away from her grip, allowing her two bound hands to still hold onto his left as that arm was trapped underneath her body.

His right hand reached down and cupped her left breast, giving that breast a firm squeeze. “Alicia, you always make bondage look so good,” Bryce whispered, leaning down to kiss her cheek. Since she wanted him to touch her, he was not going to hesitate in telling her how sexy she looked or how much this aroused him. He dropped his head down to begin kissing around the collarbone, softly moaning against her flesh. Even the gentle touch of her tied feet touching his leg was enough to begin arousing him as well.

“I love you so much. I’m going to take you away from this moment.” Now, he could not do this literally, but figuratively, he could keep her mind off their situation and help her get lost in this moment. The damsel in distress was so sexy and Bryce loved being her hero. That was how he could be the hero right now, his hand still massaging and playing with that breast. He wanted to first see how she reacted to it before he did anything more. He hoped she did not have second thoughts.

--

As much as Nick respected Molly, every word she spoke went in one ear and out the other. If anyone ever tried telling Nick something where they expected him to respond or expected him to remember something while he was kissing Anna, they were in a rude awakening. Nick understood Anna might not have been much for PDA around strangers, but around Molly, he had never found her to be hesitant in kissing. Therefore, Nick had no plans of slowing down and that’s exactly what he refused to do. There was nothing wrong with making out on the couch. It was not going to break her.

“Yeah, sometimes I am. This is your fault though. You started it. You started kissing me and you knew there was no way I could stop.” Nick teased her with a chuckle as he continued kissing her flesh unforgivingly. He moaned against her loudly, pressing his body directly against hers at that moment, making sure all of the pressure was on his and her lower body and no pressure would be applied to her shoulder area. Nick was kissing her, almost desperately.

He knew it was her weak point and he was attacking that point without any remorse! He continued to smile against her skin, his eyes flashing up, looking into her eyes as much as possible because he could not get enough of her. “I cannot wait for the day when I do not have to hold back.” Nick purred, figuring that comment might get her riled up as well, thinking about them being rough again.
 
Alicia hadn’t realized that she was holding her breath until Bryce seemed almost relieved that she had asked him to touch her - it seemed that she wasn’t the only person here who had thought about the idea. It was almost unreal how they always seemed to be on the same page with each other. What she felt now was relief, and her eyelids fluttered closed as Bryce’s soft lips found her collarbone. She loved to be kissed by him in any way possible, but he always seemed to know exactly the right thing to do.

”You’re truly the best, I love you too,” Alicia said as she focused on the way her husband’s touch felt on her skin. It was easy to forget why she had no shirt on when Bryce’s hand grasped eagerly at the mounds of her breasts, easy to forget that he wasn’t the one who had tied her when he was still going out of his way to compliment her beauty in bondage. With ever eyes closed and the prison cell invisible, it was easy to lose herself in the moment with him.

Was there really any better distraction? Besides, would it not be a waste not to? It wasn’t like they had anything else that they could do… Alicia was still trying to rationalize what they were doing, though hormones were rushing through her system and potentially clouding her ability to judge. Regardless, nothing could feel truly wrong when it involved Bryce. As questionable as the feeling was, Alicia knew that she did want her husband to keep going.

- - - - -

“What can I say? I know how to get what I want,” Anna returned - her way of fully admitting that she had definitely been the source of her own torment here. What could she say? Nick had looked so pretty beside her and she loved to be kissing and touching him. Add any kind of intoxication to the equation and she would really struggle to hold back, fucked up arm be damned. She sighed as Nick pushed his body against hers, and her thighs tightened around his hips to keep him right where he belonged. There he was in between her legs, all deep brown eyes and his hair framing his face. How could she ever want anything different?

”Mmm, better be soon,” Anna said as Nick looked up to her from his attack on her neck, though obviously it was not up to Nick when she would be okay. With Molly claiming she could have the stitches taken out in a couple days, she would more than likely push her luck as soon as possible. The softness of the night before hadn’t been bad but it had been incredibly tame, and really all they were doing now was working each other up. There was nothing wrong with that, though - the build up and foreplay could be as much fun as sex itself.
 
“If you ever want me to stop, just say so.” That probably went without saying. It was always the case. Alicia could ask him to stop at any time. Bryce would oblige. Now, more than ever, he had to consider the chance she might change her mind. Something told him she would not change her mind, though. After all, they were always on the same page. Bryce understood he would not change his own mind, which likely meant Alicia would not, either. Because of these feelings, Bryce proceeded without worry. His eyes locked onto her pretty face.

“It turns me on when you talk to me like that.” She would already know this. Bryce just never thought it would be appropriate to stop reminding her. What girl did not want to hear about how sexy she was, especially when it was her voice that impacted him so deeply? “All we have is time right now. That means I am going to take it slowly with you. I am going to kiss every inch of your skin. I’m going to touch every inch of your body. Then, I am going to make love to you until we both forget where we are.”

The words were whispered and it was his promise to Alicia. He meant every word he spoke. He was going to keep this promise to Alicia. She was going to experience pleasure beyond anything imaginable. Now, he started kissing back down her chest and wrapped his lips around her right nipple again, sucking lightly on the flesh as he moaned, his eyes flickering up into hers again just to watch and listen to her reaction.

--
“Yes, you always know how to get what you want. For some reason, you always manage to make me give you whatever that is.” Nick laughed playfully, teasing her as he nuzzled his face against hers just for a moment. This was also true. Anna often got what she wanted from Nick because she knew how to manipulate him (in a good way) to do whatever she desired. It was a look sometimes. Other days, it was the way she kissed him, the way she tempted him by rocking her hips. There were many strategies Anna used over the years and it never stopped being effective. That was clear to him.

He grinned against her flesh when she told him it better be soon. “Well, that isn’t really up to me, is it?” Nick teased. “If it were up to me and you were able… oh, I’d have you somewhere against a wall right now. Probably not here… that would not be tasteful.” Nick laughed again, but they would be somewhere right now. He knew it. He started to kiss her happily, now kissing up her neck, his arms wrapped around tightly, pulling her against his chest. “Oh, you’re so irresistible though. I hope you never get tired of this. I know that I never will, either.” He murmured, keeping her close while they kissed.
 
Even in a moment like this, the way that Bryce spoke to her made Alicia weak. When they had first started working with gags she had felt a little self conscious about trying to talk while her mouth was impeded, but his encouragement had made that so much easier. Now, after all of their time together and all of their experimentation, she had come to be comfortable and much less self-conscious about trying to speak. Bryce seemed to absolutely love it and he did make that clear - there was nothing to worry about.

Taking it slow seemed good to Alicia, though she did not exactly have the freedom to make any kind of other call. With each limbs bound she did not have the ability to reach out and touch him, though with the way that they were face to face right now… As Bryce sucked on her nipple and played with the sensitive flesh of her breast, Alicia wondered how reasonably she would be able to bring her bare feet up to his lap.

As a soft moan escaped her lips, the young woman’s lower body rolled to have her ass against the bed. At that point she brought her knees up towards her chest and carefully moved her feet towards Bryce’s lap. It wasn’t the most comfortable position and forced a bit of wiggle room between their bodies, but she was able to do as she planned and so she pressed the bottoms of her feet to cradle the crotch of his jeans.

- - - - -

”Yeah, probably not,” Anna mused. Nick was right that it probably wouldn’t be appropriate to be taking each other against public walls of someone else’s house. Even at their worst they hadn’t been that kind of degenerate and back then they’d had more excuses - teenaged hormones and drug culture meaning they weren’t the most level headed of people. Even at that point they had never defiled another person’s living room while they were in the other room. Anna could be a complete and utter whore for this boy, but she did have some kind of respect for other people.

Nick was in luck, though - in the past she had never gotten tired of kissing and/or touching him, and that was highly unlikely to change. Anna’s hyper sexuality was a side effect of things that long pre-dated Nick, but her attraction to him was all about him. Quite frankly, he was lucky that she wasn’t pushing harder for him to press her up against a wall… “Never,” Anna assured as she goaded Nick’s head back towards hers so that she could kiss him properly. Her right hand held on to his side as her body moved fluidly with the way he tried to position her. The only thing keeping them apart was their clothes, and even that was a shame.
 
Alicia bringing her feet against his crotch had not been an expectation for Bryce. It could not have felt too comfortable, although it probably was not the worst position in the world to engage. If she did not have an issue with it, Bryce was certainly not going to ask her to stop! As soon as her feet touched his cock – the very second that he felt her sole against his jeans, a moan left his lips. It was truly a weak spot of his and he was not afraid to show it.

These people thought it would be a discomfort to leave Alicia’s feet bare. Although it would not work if they were expected to walk anywhere, it was a gift here in the cell, on the bed. They did not bind and gag her for his appeal, either, but it just happened that way. So, essentially everything they did to Alicia, Bryce and the woman were countering it, turning it into something arousing and fun. It was not what Walker and his people intended, that was for sure. Bryce kept smiling and did not stop sucking on her nipple, his tongue sliding and gliding all over her areola and her breast.

“Oh, babe… that feels good. I guess it could be a little challenge for you. Let’s see how you are able to rub my cock in this position.” He wanted her to test out the limits, to rub her feet against him from this spot as he played with her breasts. It felt like a good trade off!

--

“However… there will be some wall somewhere on this camp with our name on it once you are better.” Defiling the walls of Molly and Josh’s home was unideal. Defiling another wall somewhere around the ranch? Not so much. Sure, once the house was fixed up, they would have their own space. However, Nick was willing to get a little risky with Anna if she wanted. The ranch was huge and Nick was not even certain of every location yet. He would find out more as time progressed, he was sure. He did not see why they could not have some fun in a risky place together if they were both willing. Now, he was not too focused on that right now, so he would table that discussion for later.

“Good. I’m gonna hold you to that, Anna.” Nick only paused long enough so he could speak before starting the kiss again. He was expressing love through his actions and although Anna had her own past leading up to her hypersexuality, Nick could be quite active and willing as well, so he could try his best to match her. He was pressing his body up against hers, moaning against her once more. “But, there is nothing wrong with kissing all over you.” He whispered lowly.
 
Alicia was not straight up uncomfortable, and if they were going to lose themselves in this moment then it only felt right to take advantage of every aspect of the situation that would normally appeal to them. When Bryce posed a challenge to her Alicia was looking down to where he sucked on her breast, sweet sensations sending shivers down her spine and causing wetness to form between her thighs, she proceeded to grin. Behind the gag, he would not have been able to see that - but perhaps he would be able to catch the glint in her eyes. Who was she to say no to such kind of a challenge.

It was never the easiest thing in the world, trying to manipulate her feet to wrap around Bryce‘s dick, and the fact that he was clothed didn’t make it any easier. She would have a much easier time simply bringing her feet together (not that she could separate them much given the tight bindings on her ankle) and use the soles of her feet and the pads of her toes to caress along the bulge in Bryce’s pants. When her toes reached his body she pulled them back, and it took her a few motions to get in to the swing of the strange position but she hoped that Bryce would enjoy this as much as possible. As Alicia kept going, she kept her eyes on her husband as she watched for signs of pleasure or the lack thereof.

- - - - -

The more Nick spoke, the more Anna lied what he was saying - what a shame her shoulder was impeding then. Of course, pretty soon that was not going to be a problem any more. She was always more than willing to push her own limits and it wasn’t hard to convince her that she was willing to forgo her physical health in exchange for some hot sex. That was not a difficult choice for her in the least - and Nick was the only person who pretty much complete freedom to push her up against a wall any time that he felt the need to. In fact, it was even encouraged.

”You could hold me up to anything,” she said with that wicked grin of hers, playing with Nick’s words to make it in to an innuendo. That was what he got for choosing a deviant, yeah? “Any place, any time, any way…” Hormones seemed to be winning with her, and she was really close to saying fuck it and pulling Nick out of the house to find somewhere secluded. Anna imagined that it was crystal clear that she would never not be up to mess around with him, and the way that she moved to grasp at his pants would make that even more clear. There was no harm in just unbuttoning his jeans, right?
 
All Alicia would be able to see in Bryce’s eyes would be love and desire. She was doing a better job than the male could have ever wished. “Oh… oh, babe!” Bryce breathed out. He was usually quieter in bed, as far as the pitch of his voice. However, when Alicia pressed her feet against his cock and talked behind the gag, well, there was nothing he could do to stop himself from experiencing pleasure. “God… that feels so good, Alicia. You’re so good at this.” It just happened that she was naturally talented with her feet, even when they were tied. It was a perfect match, once again. It was just another way they were perfect for one another. Bryce continued to smile at Alicia, too.

The best part was the look in her eyes. She was no longer crying. She was grinning. She looked happy. So, he reached down and slid a hand between her legs to undo the top of her jeans so he could slide his hand all the way into her pants. The only thing missing from her actions was the way she moaned from behind the gag. So, he was going to change that. He started to rub her clit through her panties, pressing his fingers against the flesh, trying to get her aroused as much as possible. “Moan for me, baby. Let me hear how sexy you sound.” He whispered, giving her a playful order as he did not look away from her during the entire time.

--

Right now, Nick was remembering all of the times when Anna teased him and drove him crazy. From moments recently to moments dating back when they first started dating and fucking, he thought about how she loved to tease him. Well, now, it was time for some payback. Granted, this payback only worked if Nick could hold himself together. This would not work if he ended up getting so worked up that he decided to forget the fact that her shoulder was hurt. The man would have to cut it off at some point. So, now, he started to kiss her neck on the other side when she started to unbutton his jeans. He moaned against her flesh again, chills running down his spine. It did not matter how she touched him. It was always wonderful.

“Oh, someone is trying to get a little extra.” He teased, knowing there was no harm at undoing his jeans at face value. He would just have to monitor it, though. “Be careful what you say right now, though. I might just have to take you up on that. Don’t be surprised if you’re just walking on the ranch and I come out of nowhere and remind you about any place, any time…” Nick winked at her. Other than wanting to tease her, that idea did seem really hot to him.
 
Alicia had lost herself so easily in their moment, it was incredible the utter change of mood she’d had since trying to forget the terrible situation that her and her husband had found themselves in. When she focused on Bryce it was easy to pretend nothing else in the world was happening, because he made nothing else matter. Alicia was really glad that they had once again been on the same page here - as much as being held by Bryce brought Alicia comfort, this was truly taking her away from the brutality and humiliation of what those men had done. All Bryce seemed to show her was love and care and sweetness.

Bryce didn’t even have a chance to finish his sentence before a moan escaped Alicia’s lips, her mind and body overloaded by the wonderful combination of sensations - the way he had licked and sucked and touched her breasts, the look in his eyes as he looked at her all sweetly while burning his hand in between her thighs. Alicia hadn’t realized just how aroused she already was from this encounter until Bryce’s fingers were making expert work of her clit. She imagined that he would be able to tell even with the fabric of her panties still in the way.

”Look what you do to me,” she moaned, a gaspy breath escaping her lips as she finished the sentence. All the while she continued to caress his cock with her feet, finding what she hoped was a better angle that would blow his mind even further.

- - - - -

What kind of angle was Nick trying to work here? He knew as well as Anna did that he would be the one to call chicken if Anna dared to do anything, and from her point of view he was pretty much asking her to push limits now. All that he was doing by talking about how he could come up behind her and remind was making her think about how nice it would be to have his hands on her hips from behind as he pressed her front-first against a wall, pinning her between it and his body. Nick, pulling her wrists behind her back and securing them with one hand while the other slipped carefully around her neck, gentle pressure building against the pulse points in her neck to cause an ever so lovely head rush… “Oh please do,” she said with that devilish smirk of her hers, always encouraging dirty, dirty things when it came to this boy.

Yeah, as far as Anna was concerned Nick had no one to blame but himself for the way her fingers moved from the un-done button of his jeans and down to the zipper. The finer manipulation wasn’t working to well for her, though, and when she realized how her fingers trembled when she tried to grasp a tiny little zipper she was not impressed with the way that her own body was acting. She abandoned the task quickly, trying to pass her change in pace off as something more natural than it was as she switched to sliding her hand up Nick’s abdomen, under his shirt and up along the subtle line of his hips. She only struggled to keep her hand steady when dealing with those finer motions, and she was going to just pretend nothing happened there…
 
“I can feel it,” Bryce whispered. “You’re getting so wet already.” Wow. This was crazy. Alicia’s pussy was growing wetter with each second. Even with the panties covering her womanhood, he could still feel the wetness pooling together. God, he loved her and he loved making her feel good. Listening to her moan while she was gagged aroused him even more, too. “You’re great, Alicia. So great at this.” She could probably tell judging from how erect she made him already with just a simple touch of her feet. Now, it was becoming less simple, to be fair. He did not know how much longer he could hold back.

“You’re going to make me want to ravish you right here, baby. You’re going to make me lose all control.” Bryce whispered as if that was not the ultimate end goal anyway. As much fun as it was for Bryce to be felt along with her feet, he wanted to kiss her. He wanted to kiss those cute feet of hers. His cock was throbbing right now, pulsating against his pants. He needed a moment before she made him explode without even taking his pants off. That would be a tough one to explain! So, he reached down to ease her feet from his crotch and now he kept rubbing her clit.

“You’re so turned on, aren’t you, babe? I love you. And I love the way your lips look against that cloth right now.” Bryce growled lowly, resting his forehead against hers at that moment.

--

Nick felt hot. Every inch of his body felt like it was flaming. It felt wonderful. He was thinking about the various locations on the ranch where they could play around a little. They were both turned on almost all the time. Just give them each a join and they were probably going to be all over one another. It was almost as if they had a gear that stayed close to being aroused at every second of the day when they were together. It took so little to set it off. He just smiled at the thought and made a mental note to follow through on his promise to Anna. These fun thoughts combined with that look on her face and in her eyes… wow. That was something special. Nick realized how lucky he was to have her in his life, to be so willing to indulge him in these desires.

Just as soon as Nick was ready to turn in for a long day and night of teasing fun with Anna while she relaxed, something happened. The entire mood changed. Something was wrong with Anna. Something was going on and Nick realized it immediately. It worried him. Even though Anna was trying to play it off, he was not going to let it slide. He reached down and gently gripped her wrist which was running around his abdomen. He slowly raised up her arm so he could look at her hand, now looking into her eyes. “Anna… what’s wrong?” Nick whispered quietly, tilting his head at her. “I saw your hand. You… you had some trouble with my pants.” Nick noticed that it was the hand on the same arm from where her shoulder injury was located. That was particularly alarming.
 
What could Alicia say? She was truly and utterly weak for every single touch her husband laid on her - be it something as simple as his hand on hers or the much more intimate and sexual way that he was touching her now. It didn’t take long before Alicia was lost in a series of sweet moans of pleasure, and it was clear that she wasn’t the only person here who was immensely aroused. Just feeling how hard Bryce got gotten from something as simple as the way her feet rubbed him through his clothes left Alicia’s mouth watering.

Alicia whimpered as Bryce pulled her feet away from his body, not sure why he was doing that. She wasn’t in a place to complain, though - with the way he kept caressing the sensitive bud between her legs it was clear that he had a plan. Alicia hadn’t put much thought in to how they were actually going to make love to each other, though - with her ankles bound, she surely wouldn’t be able to get her pants off. In a way that would keep her body even more restrained, and she imagined that Bryce would appreciate that in one way or another.

As Bryce rested his forehead against hers, those lips that he liked so much parted beneath the gag as Alicia let out a loud moan. It stretched the fabric, pulling the gag taut around every curve of those full lips of hers. “When they look like that?” She asked between heavy breaths, only to part her lips in another moan right after.

- - - - -

To Anna, this was the moment that whatever they were doing right now crashed down around her. She knew as soon as Nick moved for her hand what was about to happen, and as he manipulated her limb with so much care than she showed for it Anna instinctively pulled her hand away from him. She moved much too quickly much too far, however, and a sharp hiss escaped her mouth as a more intense pain shot down her arm and across her shoulder. “Fuck!” She cursed, though the only person she had to blame for that was herself. She would be just fine, most likely, but fuck.

”It’s fine,” she insisted as her other hand moved to grab her shoulder, support it while she tried to gently stretch away the pain. When that didn’t seem to work she used her good hand to support her weight and slid out from under Nick until she was sitting back up, doing her normal thing of not looking at him when something was wrong.

“It’s just a little funky, Molly said it’s normal. Doesn’t like to bend all the way right now.” That was a half-truth - Molly had said that it wasn’t surprising, not that it was to be expected. But she had also said there was a decent chance the dysfunction was temporary.
 
Yeah. Alicia knew exactly what she was doing to her husband. She might not have been touching him with her feet anymore, but the results were the same. His mouth watered and Bryce felt like he was a step away from drooling over Alicia. Even before the world of gags opened, he always felt attracted to Alicia’s lips. They were so full and when they went to any formal event, he noticed how they always popped. They looked perfect and he wanted to kiss them so badly. Now, he was the only person who would ever kiss those perfect lips.

But, adding a gag to it? Well, that was just unfair. “Just like that. What can I say? Something about seeing the imprint against the gag… it just turns me on.” It was another one of those small things that people always talk about. While he loved cleave gags and the way her lips would hug the cloth between them, nothing could compare to the way her lips look with a piece of tape or a cloth tightly over her mouth, where he could see the imprint of her lips against the gag. That was the one thing that made him enjoy tape gags and OTM gags just a bit more than anything else.

“And when you try to talk… I can see them move… and when you moan, I can see them move… and god… that’s just so fucking hot.” Bryce whispered, knowing that this was probably one of those things he had to explain. It wasn’t a normal kink by any means, so he did his best to help Alicia understand it.

“Sorry,” Even though Nick handled her arm with care, he felt like it was his fault for her pain. He understood why she reacted so brashly, ripping her arm away. It was not that he wanted her to stop. She was not making him uncomfortable. Nick was simply worried about her. Any sexual arousal would go right to the back burner. It was impossible to just vanquish desire like that, but it did cause him to step back for a moment. That’s why he asked her to stop, to slow down. He did not need her doing more damage to herself. She would have to understand it.

“Just fine…” Nick sighed quietly. There was no way it seemed to be the truth. Maybe a half-truth, at best. He sat upright when she sat up, too. Nick realized that sometimes tough love was needed and he could no just dance around this. What could he even do, though?

“Nothing really gets to you, Anna. You’re strong and you handle everything with such courage. But I see it. I can tell this has you rattled.” Even when she tried to play it off, he could see something in her eyes. Fear? Worry? She knew something serious was wrong even though she would not admit it. “Can you please tell me what’s really going on with your hand? You can talk to me, babe.”
 
Alicia loved hearing Bryce talk about the aspects of her and the things they did together that he enjoyed... and hearing him explain exactly why he liked the way her lips looked beneath the white cloth that gagged her mouth just turned the bound woman on even more. Bryce's interests didn't have to be "normal" for Alicia to appreciate them and absolutely love the effect that her and the things that she did had on him. She would do everything she possibly could to get him rock hard and aching for her.

"Something like this?" The things that he said had encouraged Alicia to keep going, and once she finished speaking she puckered her lips behind the gag so he could see the outline well. That faded in to a smile so wide the fabric stretched around her, and she leaned her head in towards her husband. She was not naive to the fact that he also loved kissing her through and over gags, and Alicia enjoyed that as well. She was taking every opportunity that she could to lose herself in the moment with him, here and now. With how in to this she was acting, it was almost like they weren't here in dire circumstances.

It was hard for Anna to not immediately get defensive and, with that, a little bit snarky. They were only a few days in to the healing process, it wasn't abnormal to be dealing with some pain and discomfort. Her hand wasn't injured, though, and that was inherently concerning. Molly had the experience to understand it more than Anna did, but that pointed in the direction of minor nerve damage. It could have been much, much worse - but it also was not as good as it could have been. The vast majority of everything seemed to be okay until she got in to those fine motor movements, and Anna was hoping that would end up going away too.

Anna didn't look at Nick, instead down at her own hand. She scowled as she stretched her fingers out and curled them in, feeling discomfort at worst until a very subtle tremor started in her fingers as she pushed the limits of her range of motion. "It's fine," she repeated, though it clearly wasn't. That was her way of rationalizing it, and trying to deal with the fact that for all she knew it was her new normal. "At first I didn't think anything of it, but my shoulder is hurting less and it's still happening. It's only been a few days, though. It will probably go away."
