No sleeping on the job "You ok up there babes?" Sarah called. "Thanks for doing this, you're a lifesaver." "No problem," I replied, from the top of the stepladder. Sarah lived a few minutes from me and I was painting her front room for her. She was someone who I passed regularly in the street and always said hello, always calling me 'babes'. Single, in her mid 30's she was standing there with her brown hair in a ponytail. wearing a white blouse, a blue denim skirt and knee high black boots. "Listen, I'm off to my mothers for an hour or two. You'll be ok here finishing up won't you?" she said. "Yep no problem," I replied, climbing down from the ladder. She smiled and planted a kiss on my cheek. "See you later then babes." I was about halfway through the painting. I figured it would be a good time to take a break. Only fifteen minutes, she would be gone two hours, what could go wrong? I sat down on her sofa. I was painting the room a nice shade of cream. I'm not one to brag but I'd done a darn good job so far. I rested my head on a pillow. 'Ten minutes and I'll be up again' I thought. However when I was awoken two hours later by Sarah's hand whacking my chest I knew I'd messed up. "What are you doing?! It's nearly dark! You've done nothing since I left!" yelled Sarah. "Sorry I dozed off," I replied meekly, getting to my feet. "Sorry, I'll finish up." As I went to walk away Sarah grabbed my arm and twisted it behind my back in a painfull angle. She was strong. Not quite Ronda Rousey, but still pretty strong. "There's no time!" she screamed. She pulled me towards her and grabbed me from behind and clamped a hand over my mouth. "We'll have to leave it, you need to learn not to slack. Upstairs now." With that she freed my mouth but forced me out of the room and up the staircase and into a small room at the top. I didn't dare say anything. She had led me into a study room. Bookcases, a computer, the like. "Sit," she ordered, pointing to the computer chair. "Give me your phone too." I reached my phone from my pocket and handed it too her, then sat in the chair. Sarah flicked a switch on my phone, putting it on silent mode. "Hmm, silent mode, you'll be in that mode soon," Sarah joked. She opened a drawer and pulled out some parcel tape. She taped my wrists securely to the arms of the chair, before opening another drawer and pulling out some small rope and tying my upper body to the chair. I finally dared to speak. "Look, don't you think this is a little unnecessary? I mean th-mmmmmmpppphhhhh!" Sarah had ripped a strip of parcel tape off and placed it firmly over my mouth. "I need to go into another room and I don't trust you not to shout for help," she said. "You already can't be trusted to do a job for me eh babes?" "MMMMMMMPPPPPPHHHHH!" I moaned at her as she walked out. I had been clean shaven that morning so the tape stuck really well. Although it gave me a chance to think. The more and more I'd seen her around the more I thought she would make a good domme, and now here I was at her mercy. Suddenly I didn't mind being gagged at her mercy. She re entered the room, hiding something behind her back. She ripped the tape from off my mouth. "Sorry babes, I know that stings." She then revealed a red ball gag from behind her back. Suddenly Sarah's phone rang. She quickly placed the ball gag in my mouth, strapped it tight and took the call. "Hey mum, sorry he hasn't finished the room today, he got a little tied up." I tried to call out but the gag was very effective and I only managed a small "nngghh!" Sarah finished the call. "We will have a go at finishing your job tomorrow. But for now I'm going to leave you tied up. Not like this though." She untied the ropes from my upper body and freed my wrists. "Don't resist," she ordered, using parcel tape to tie my hands behind my back and to bind my ankles together. She led me down the stairs, me having to hop with my feet bound, and into the front room. "Sit there, make yourself comfortable," she said. "Anything I can do babes?" I tried to say 'Yeah, untie me' but it came out as "NNNGGGGHHHHH MMMPPPHHH!" Sarah sat herself beside me. "No? Ok babes. Let's see what there is to watch. Celebrity Big Brother? Ok then!" I'll never sleep on a job again if it means I don't have to sit through such dross as CBB!
