“Here’s to adulting!”

Victoria raised her shot glass. Harriet chuckled. The burning sensation of the Bacardi 151 warmth their bodies on this cold winter evening. It was graduation day and it was the day Victoria and Harriet no longer call themselves students.

“What are you going to do next Vicky?” Harriet asked while staring at her empty shot glass, playing with it.

“I’m gonna get wasted that’s what” Victoria danced around — ignoring what she meant.

“Hey Hattie! Let’s go back to my place! I don’t want to waste the night here”

Harriet winked and put her arms over Victoria

“…or get wasted here or else I’m gonna yank your ass home like always”

Victoria giggled and slammed a fifty on the table

“On me today!”

Eerie quiet hallway echoed with their heels tapping along. As Victoria opened her door the familiar scent flooded Harriet. The silence broke.

“So what’s the next drink Hattie? We should just talk and we’ll adult tomorrow”

“Do you have wine? Hey…what’s this?”

Something caught Harriet’s attention. The floor felt different. As she looked down, Harriet’s eyes traced the red lines and curves.

“Oh..um. I was just experimenting”

Victoria forgot she had those out. She wasn’t drunk but red flush flooded her face. Her shoulders trembled not sure what to do.

Harriet chuckled.

“Experimenting? Experimenting what? There’s so much ropes here”

“Y…you really want to know?” Victoria’s shaken voice traveled. She knew she couldn’t hide it anymore. If she trusted Harriet, this confession would prove that.

“Vicky? Are you okay?”

Victoria came close to her ears. Harriet could feel her own skin tingling. Victoria whispered

“They are for you to tie me up so I’ll be your subject, your royal highness….”

Victoria walked over to collect the ropes to a bundle and handed it over to Harriet’s hands — stunned. Then she proceed to undress herself.

“Vicky. Hang on…!”

“Trust me Hattie. It’s easier this way”

Harriet could see everything. Victoria with her back facing her and her hands positioned behind her. It was an invitation. One she couldn’t resist. One she couldn’t lie to herself.

Harriet proceeded — Knot by knot — with wonders how their lives intertwined like this.

“There’s something under the pillow Hattie. Can you grabbed it?”

Victoria’s her feet were high up behind her close to her hands as she rested face down. She knew this was only possible if someone ties her—not something she can pull off herself.

“That’s a ball gag. You put it over my mouth so I can’t complain. Heh…”

“…and that’s a whip — well you know wha…”

Harriet just striked Victoria before she could finish. She moaned

“Annhh..”

“Vicky! You’ve been a bad girl. Hiding this from me. And I’m glad you know you talk too much”

Harriet pulled the buckle over her head. The ball was almost hidden inside Victoria’s mouth. Drips of lust crawled down her cheek and chin.

Harriet put the whip to work. With every strike — just a little harder. Victoria struggled and wriggled but she could only move so much in that position. She is now Harriet’s subject. And her gleaming sultry eyes shows it all.

“Ah…anhh” moaned Victoria

Victoria’s body twitched as Harriet hesitated another swing. The pool on the sheets reflected Victoria’s state of ecstasy as she came—multiple times. Harriet stared—waiting—for Victoria’s body to stop twitching. Then she removed her gag and gently gave her a kiss—that brought them to a depth they never felt before.

“Hattie. Please don’t stop”

“Oh Vicky. Actually I…”

Harriet’s phone blared. It was a special tone. It was foreign to Victoria but Harriet looked flustered as she reached out her phone.

“V…vicky. I’ll be back”

Harriet stepped outside to the road in front of Victoria’s apartment. A long stretched limousine spanned her sight.

“How did you know I am here?”

“Princess Harriet. There’s no time to explain. Your country needs you. We need to leave right now”

Explained the man standing next to opened limousine door

“But I need to be with Vicky and..”

“Your highness! It’s not the time for your flings and games”

”Shut your fucking mouth and that is an order. You have no right to talk about Vicky like that! Say that again and you’ll know what I’ll do!”

Silence reigned the street as Harriet stared at the man in the eyes. Harriet slowly backed away and looked to the side

“I know what I need to do”

As she entered the car, Harriet turned around and looked back—whispered

“Vicky. Actually I really love you”

Victoria managed to escape though she didn’t think it was this fragile—much like the fragility of confessions.

Victoria hid her face in her pillow as she tried to stop her tears. The shriek of a plane echoed her room with the curtains flayed, hinting the glaring sun.

“What have I done?”

If I can't be close to you 

I'll settle for the ghost of you 

I miss you more than life 

And if you can't be next to me 

Your memory is ecstasy 

I miss you more than life
