  • With Breakfast

    “I’ve only seen this shit in porn.” – AV

    I woke up Sunday morning knowing I had to pack, so of course I didn’t want to get up. But I did anyway. I folded my clothes, stripped my bed, and tucked everything away.

    With my bags piled up by the cabin door, I slipped on a pair of tight black khakis and my black Vans and stepped outside. Like the last two days, most of the Rope Village community was huddled around under our pop up canopies. I took a seat and chatted.

    During the conversation, AV asked me how my FetFest had been. I said pretty good, but since I was leaving I would not get to experience her rather large black strap-on dildo. She granted me a rain check.

    I also bemoaned not getting fisted. I was to be a fisting demo bottom on Saturday night, but the top for the event fell ill. (Another rain check earned.) Seeing as I was about to go, AV decided to give me a send off.

    “Poetic, would you like a fisting with your eggs?”

    After finishing my breakfast (thank you again, Roxy) the needed supplies were gathered: a chuck, my personal lube, gloves, and a battery operated Hitachi.

    I laid my chuck on the carpet in the middle of the chairs, the better for everyone to get a good view. I stripped down my sparse clothing and took my place in the center. AV and a beautiful girl sat by my crotch.

    Rope Village was blessed with two supplies in ready order: rope and Hitachis. With a portable battery pack to supply power for the wired sex toys, both AV and the beautiful girl got themselves off before getting me off.

    As they settled in, AV began to warm me up. The idea of the two of them double fisting me came up. I wondered how they would manage this. The technical details were far from my mind, however, after we began.

    I intentionally did not ask if I needed permission to cum. With only a few of AV’s finger in me, my ecstasy began. With AV’s full hand inside me, the beautiful girl then applied the battery operated Hitachi. I tried to move my hips to get the positioning right before finally taking up the toy in my own hands.

    As AV continued to pound her hand inside me, the beautiful girl played with my nipples.  Both ladies still rode their own Hitachis, as well. 

    Wave after wave of orgasms washed over me. I felt so full of AV’s hand. In a moment of clarity, I realized it was because more than one hand was in me.  I rose my hips up, trying to hump her hands as she pounded into me. Pleasure mixed with pain. I couldn’t stop screaming and crying out her name.

    When finally she slipped out her hands, I was exhausted. I sat up and kissed both AV and the beautiful girl, thanking them for their care and attention. It was them I remembered a fun moment during our scene.

    Obviously, with us playing in the middle of the circle, many people watched. I believe I heard the snapping of a camera. However, someone pointed out an important fact: this was Rope Village; where was the rope?

    Tossing in one small coil, it splayed out on my chest. I think my gyrations must have moved it because later a second length of rope took its place. With my scene complete, I picked up the small length, asking to whom it belonged. Hammer had been its owner. He then gifted the rope to me.

    So now in my Hello Kitty bag lives a small length of rope, a token of my time at FetFest staying with and being loved by my rope family.

  • Enemy Of Love

    They asked us to give voice to our enemy. Name it. What kept us all from love?

    Symbolized by a wood carving pulled around the fire, people confronted their enemy. They gave it a name. They shouted, screamed, cursed at it. I stood on the edge of the circle, barely able to contain myself.

    I closed my eyes, tilted my head to the sky, and let the tears trickle down my face. And then I whispered it.

    “Jealousy. Fear. Despair.”

    As I let the pain wash over me, more came.

    “I am more than my mistakes. I am not worthless.”

    I said it as much to myself as I did to the enemy of love.

    I am my own enemy. Even with the work I’ve done with Doc, even with the emotional growth I’ve had, I can’t deny those feelings linger. I can’t ignore the constant soundtrack in my head belittling myself.

    But then the chorus started.

    “Burn him! Burn him!”

    They set the enemy of love onto the fire. The flames licked up and over came it. And, for a moment, I let out a breath. I wiped away my tears with the sleeve of my hoodie. For a moment, for the night, I let go.

    I repeated a mantra in my head.

    “I am more than my mistakes. I am not worthless. I am full of worth.”

    People danced around the fire. Loved ones hugged and rejoiced.

    I stayed on the edge of the circle, stayed my distance. Like most of my camp, my heart was there and not there.

    The ritual completed, they invited people to play and fuck as they pleased. I crept over to the body painter and just like last year he adorned my flesh. His artwork complete, I watched people spin fire poi. And, when I was ready, I crept back up to my cabin.

    Though I knew my enemy wasn’t conquered, for a night I felt some of the weight lift. For brief moments, I smiled and felt almost light. And, as I slipped into my sleep, I repeated my mantra from the ritual.

    “I am more than my mistakes. I am full of worth.”

  • Also Missed

    “I’m leaving.”
    “When?”
    “Like, right now.”

    He was pissed. He was really pissed. He stood up and started punching my chest. For a moment I wondered if my missed playdate with TwistedView would happen right there.

    As I back peddled, somehow Murphy added into the mix, suggesting he could punch my back while TwistedView attacked my front. I was having none of that.

    I screamed no. And then I ran. Like seriously ran. TwistedView grabbed onto me, but I clawed my way free, sprinting onto the asphalt path. I turned and saw the two of them slowly approaching.

    “No. I’m serious guys. No.”

    Still, they crept forward.

    “Are you going to call red?”
    “I don’t want to, but I will if I have to.”

    Their menacing stares receded. They gave assurances they were done.

    Instead of punching me, they wanted to hug me bye. The two of them surrounded me. And then Murphy asked the magical question.

    “How are you? It’s seemed like you’ve been off this camp.”

    And then I could finally say it, could finally reveal the weight on my heart. I missed all the people that weren’t there.

    Life is life. You cannot predict it. Sometimes you’re just along for the ride.

    Some of people at the last FetFest were not there this year, but there were two that pierced my heart to its core. Lil Sis was out of the country and Gray was in Hawaii.

    As I drove to camp, I realized their absences were the source of my reluctance to go in the first place. It took me til 3pm to arrive even though I had planned to show up as soon as registration opened (11am).

    I thought about them the whole time I was there. I remembered all the joy I had with them this past year and the many wonderful moments from last FetFest. As hard as I tried to fall into my camp experience, I couldn’t shake my dark cloud.

    It didn’t matter that I knew I would see Gray in a week. It didn’t matter that I knew I was heading to London in a month. They weren’t there. And as much as I wanted to love my event, it just didn’t feel the same to me without them.

    When I left on Sunday I was sad to go but also relieved. I didn’t have to try to hide my sadness, didn’t have to push myself to participate, didn’t have to be on, didn’t have to do anything. I could just be me, sad-quiet-people-missing-not-funtastic-at-the-moment me.

    It’s hard for me to give my pain voice. And, because of that, I did not have the event I could’ve.

  • Missed

    This Labor Day weekend I spent Friday, Saturday, and the morning of Sunday at FetFest. What I experienced during this event was my heart riped in two.

    My time spent at camp was colored just as much by the people not there as the people who were.

    As some folks know, a local rigger passed away recently. I did not know them, but I wish I had.

    On the Friday night of FetFest, the Rope Village held a remembrance for our parted friend. I arrived about fifteen minutes late, having not properly budgeted my time.

    Standing against a wall by the entrance to the Barn, I listened as people recounted their stories of this beautiful individual.

    This person was another rope switch, with a genuine heart and love for others. They were a trickster and a true friend. Their favorite color was pink.

    Hanging on one side of the Barn was a strand of pink rope, a shiminawa, in which people placed thoughts and messages about their passed friend.

    As I stood and listened, a friend spotted me and gestured for me to join them. I quietly made my way over and sat with them. We held hands and leaned our heads together, each us of taking care of the other.

    As so many people spoke about this amazing person, all I could think was such a loss it was for them to be gone.

    When I read their profile, I saw a number of interests that intersected with mine. There was of course rope, but this person was also a switch. My heart sank at the realization of never occurred conversations, never dreamt up ties, never recounted tales, never experienced moments.

    But I also realized having them at all, if only for their brief time on this earth, was a gift.

    With so many people in that Barn, so many friends who cared, so many individuals this person touched, I saw loss but I also saw friendship. I saw tears and smiles. I saw hurt and appreciation.

    I saw a person remembered who had spread love to those around them. Can anyone ask for more in this life?

    The shiminawa at the remembrance is to travel to many events throughout this coming year. More friends will speak about them. More people will recount stories and fond memories. Though our community lost a member, they will still be remembered.

  • The Horny Butterfly

    ~ a kinky fairy tale ~

    In the shade of a pop up tent, just outside her cabin, laid a beautiful naked girl. Spread out on a purple and black rug, she lounged, enjoying the warm air and slight breeze.

    As she lazed, relaxing in her non-clothes-wearing-ness, only one thing was amiss. What she wanted, all she wanted, was to get off. Thankfully, she had packed her trusty Hitachi, and earlier ran a power cable to her rug, just in case.

    Grabbing her favorite sex toy, she flipped the switch on, and brought the head to her pussy lips. Her body writhed at the touch and soon she felt her first orgasm growing.

    But, just as she was close to climax, she felt a flutter by her ear. Into her vision floated a pretty pretty butterfly.

    The colorful creature was a vision to behold, but the girl could not be pleased with its appearance. The butterfly had interrupted the girl’s fun, much to her pussy’s disappointment. Softly, she brushed the butterfly away.

    Again the girl brought her Hitachi to her clit, a warm feeling soon rising inside of her. Her breathing turned into pants as her body moved closer to its release.

    But, once again, the tiny butterfly fluttered near her, this time landing on her knee. The tiny tickle was enough to distract the girl, again depriving her from her pleasure.

    The girl brushed the butterfly away once more, now annoyed. But, instead of flying off, this time the butterfly lingered in the girl’s view.

    “Little butterfly, please. I must feed my need. Shoo off, run; I need to cum. This distraction makes my heart bleed.”

    The little butterfly, however, would not go, choosing to land now on her Hitachi. This made the girl wonder.

    Turning on the vibrator, the colorful creature did not move. Guessing its intent, once more the girl brought the sex toy to her crotch. The butterfly remained.

    Writhing her clit against the vibration,
    soon came the girl’s exaltation,
    her ecstasy fulfilled.
    All the while the butterfly
    did not move as she writhed,
    as any horny little creature would.

  • Blind Spots

    FetFest memory

    Every person, no matter how hot or sexy they are, has a blind spot. For me, it’s women. I get incredibly nervous trying to flirt or be around women who I find incredibly attractive.

    Women are complicated. They have all these emotions. You never know what’s going on in their head. They, sometimes, can be a little crazy. And yes, I say all this with the acknowledgement that I am a girl. (Suck it.)

    My nervousness can be avoided under a few select circumstances.

    1- In the midst of our talking, they point out someone else to whom they are attracted. My brain then switches me into assistance mood. How can I help them in the conquest of this person?
    My ease also holds true if they are currently partnered; my brain ignores the existence of poly for these women unless it comes up in conversation. I become the friend, which to me is better than no interaction at all, the only other option my brain sees as possible.

    2- If, for some reason, I am overly confident or have nothing to loose, I’m put at ease. This often happens at events when I’m surrounded by friends and high off of a number of scenes or general interactions with folks. If someone has whispered into your ear how much they love eating you out, another battered and bruised you, and a third massaged your scalp til you are floating above cloud 9, it is easy to not care if the pretty girl likes you.

    I have practiced and learned how to approach people who catch my eye. I intentionally push myself to be more extroverted. It is my natural state to sink into the background and just watch & listen. As a writer, this has been helpful for my stories. As a young slutty kinkster, I have to work against this inclination.

    So…to the meat of it.

    Going into FetFest, my biggest blind spot was eating pussy. I mentioned this to a few friends who ended up easing me into the experience.

    Outside of Cabin 1/2, Gray sat smoking a cigar and drinking whiskey while hanging out with K2 and TwistedView. I walked over to the cabin after finishing Lochai’s Bondage For Sex class. Seeing Gray, I asked if I could sit and place my head on his knee. He agreed, and I disrobed as per usual, using my clothes to sit on.

    I relaxed there for about twenty to thirty minutes, just taking sometime to appreciate the moment. Going into Fet, I knew I would not see Gray or interact with him as much as at Rope Camp, so when the opportunity came up to just be next to him for a bit, I had to take it.

    After my time by his knee, I knew I still needed to go about my day. In earlier conversations that day, Gray, Glenda from NCSF, and Lochai all seemed to be encouraging me to ponder running for IMsL. I was unsure about the prospect, but thought I should at least go find Sara Vibes, the current title holder, and ask her about it.

    In getting ready to go, I happened to mention to Gray that I had not yet eaten pussy. Of all things, it was this that shocked him. I explained how I got nervous around girls.

    And I mentioned the one time I almost did eat a lovely red head out, that is until the girl started violently puking up the alcohol she’d consumed and had to rush to the bathroom off and on for three straight hours. The ordeal was a little bit traumatic. So no, the experience hadn’t happened yet.

    Gray, ever the friend, pointed out my little predicament could be fixed. K2, who had walked inside for a moment, stepped back out. Gray turned to her and asked, quite simply, “Hey K2, do you want to have your pussy eaten?”

    She gave her agreement and things just kind of happened from there. To hear the full audio of my experience, because awesome friends do awesome things for each other, here is the LINK to Graydancer’s Ropecast episode featuring the recording he made at FetFest. It’s the last segment, about two-thirds of the way in. Once again, thank you Gray.

    So, with K2 in a camp chair, my hands gloved, K2’s legs spread and tied down, and my “It doesn’t have look pretty; I’m just trying to eat pussy” line enshrined on Twitter, it was time to begin.

    I was nervous, very nervous, but I did have an ace in the hole, so to speak. On the drive down from New York, Murphy and I had had a long conversation about blind spots. His was fisting, which I helped him overcome later. Since mine was eating pussy, he decided to give me pointers. He talked about technique, suggested some tricks, and most importantly, talked about reading your partner. He spoke about how, just like when giving a guy head, you listen for what they like and keep doing that.

    Kneeling before K2, Gray’s phone recording the experience, I began. I gently warmed her clit with my fingers. Then I bent over and slowly started licking around her clit. K2 spoke up, telling me I could go harder. She then started making noises, informing me what I was doing was right.

    However, all of a sudden, I could hear and feel Gray stand up; previously he had just been sitting in a camp chair next to us. He placed his phone on K2’s chest, the perfect spot to pick up her moans.

    But then he came behind me. He placed his iPad on my back and also knelt down behind me, using me like furniture. To my delight, he then started fingering me. Naturally I started moaning.

    “Oh honey, don’t forget about me.” K2 piped up as my focus momentarily drifted. I had gotten close to orgasming, but not quite. I redoubled my efforts, concentrating more on eating out K2 while still trying to enjoy Gray’s hand inside me.

    Of course then Gray decided he wanted to spank me, my ass being right there. Murphy, who had just returned to the cabin, suggested Gray use the Konami code. Gray spanked Up Up, spanked Down Down, spanked left, spanked right, spanked left, spanked right, squeezed a boob for B, squeezed my ass for A, and then said “She has the start button,” referring to my manipulations of K2’s clit.

    “Are you a taxi?” Walking by our cabin, someone randomly yelled at K2.

    Her response, “Do I look like a fucking taxi?”

    This was an…interesting scene.

    After a while, TwistedView asked K2 how I was doing. “She’s doing a good job, but she’s teasing me. I almost get there, but then I don’t.”

    Oh, really?

    I started going harder with my mouth, harder with my tongue. I finally slipped two fingers into her pussy and firmly massaged her G-spot. My stronger efforts did the trick. K2 asked TwistedView if she could cum. He gave his permission and her ecstasy rolled through, hard. In fact, she came so hard she later told TwistedView it felt like she had to pee. I’d call that a job well done, and on my first try no less.

    We hugged; we both were happy; everyone enjoyed the show.

    And as a post script, Murphy, ever the caring Big Bro, sang an impromptu “I Just Ate Snatch” for our entertainment. Good times.

  • My NeverEnding Bag

    FetFest memory…

    On Saturday I attended Lochai’s Bondage For Sex class.

    For some special/odd reason, my Hello Kitty bag seemed to solve every issue that came up during his presentation.

    When I first arrived, I sat in the Barn on a bench and grumbled to myself, “Dammit, when did I get so fucking popular?” I had checked my phone and saw I’d missed a bunch of texts and a phone call from my friends, no doubt in need of their Cabin Bitch.

    Lochai, looking over, said, “Well, since you’ve been cute.  And you’re into rope.  And you’re a great submissive.  And you’re learning a lot.”

    “Oh, okay.”

    That shut me up real quick. If I could have blushed, my face would have been bright red. One, I did not realize I had grumbled so loudly. And two, I didn’t realize Lochai noticed even a quarter of the shit I did. (Yeah, I really need to get over this ugly duckling bullshit. No matter how much I think it, I do not fade into the background.)

    As people filtered in, I pulled out my notebook and buried my face in it, scribbling some notes on my day thus far before class started. Before lunch, Glenda from NCSF casually mentioned how she liked my spirit and suggested I go out for IMsL. Gray, who I happened to be walking with towards the Dining Hall, got bug-eyed and said I would be perfect for it. I noted the interaction, the conversation at lunch, and that I should talk to Sara Vibes, the current title holder, about it.

    At the start of Lochai’s class, he began with one small question: What is sex?

    My answer: An intimate connection.

    There were many many answers (oral, vaginal, anal, digital, etc.). For Lochai, it was anything you wanted it to be.

    He started with the example of chocolate. Chocolate could be sex, to which, as a lover of hot, milk and dark, I had to agree. Lochai thought he had a piece of the sweetness, but unfortunately he did not. He asked the class if anyone had some.

    I piped up, saying I did. Reaching into my Hello Kitty bag, I pulled out my last piece of dark chocolate, the last piece of the bar Gray gave me at Rope Camp. Put it to good use, Lochai.

    I handed him the treat. He instructed NaughtyEm to lie on her back and purse her lips. Placing the chocolate on her lips, he then instructed her to not eat it. That was now bondage for sex.

    Lochai next talked about how bondage could be physical or emotional. “We’re not going to talk for two weeks.” An example of emotional bondage, impeding the connection between two people.

    Lochai went on to show a bunch of different ties and positions, getting the minds of everyone in the class working. Lochai cared more about us thinking and understanding the theory of bondage for sex rather than specific ties.

    He suggested we make our ties simple enough to undo with one hand; this would allow for quick changes or using the other hand to please ourselves. He mentioned crotch ropes and using insert-ables, with a lovely cameo by KnaveKarina. Lochai strove for us to be creative.

    However, there was one tie he did mention by name: Gray’s Tie Em Up and Fuck Em Harness. Lochai couldn’t remember the specific way to tie it, though. Once again, I piped up. He allowed me to show the class the harness, using my own rope on NaughtyEm. I was a giddy giddy Teacher’s Pet, happy to have contributed to the class.

    But wait, there was more.

    After my small demo, Lochai showed how you could achieve a similar effect with webbing.

    He then spoke about an easy way to use rope for sex: just use a coil as a dildo. With a demo bottom on the mat and ready, Lochai pulled out a coil, but he needed a condom.

    Once again, my Hello Kitty bag came to the rescue. I gave him one. He unwrapped it, but then dropped the condom on the floor.

    Did I have another?

    I searched through my bag as others looked on their persons’ as well. Aha! “Got it.” I handed him a second condom. He wrapped the rope and gave it to his demo. She started masturbating with the coil, but needed some assistance.

    “Do you have lube?”

    “Hold on.” Another quick search. “Got it.” I handed him the packet of lube. Squeezing the slick substance onto the condom, she returned to her fun, and I smiled ear-to-ear.

    And that’s why I’m a full service Cabin Bitch.

  • Sideways

    It wasn’t that we didn’t love the scene that was going to happen, but in the moment, it was that we both needed it.

    Both Murphy and I were exhausted. We’d barely gotten any sleep between the Bomb-iversary and leaving for FetFest. While Dov had passed out in my back seat during the ride, Murphy and I had chatted for all the hours down to camp. He had wanted to make sure I stayed awake. I had appreciated the company. We had talked about this and that, but we’d also decided we would have a scene that evening.

    Neither of us got a nap before night fell. There were sprinted hugs to give, gifts to handout, takedown practice to administer, people to meet, an opening ceremony, a Waffle House run, and random rope-y fun-ness to be had.

    So, when I came up to the Rope Village, because again I was dumb and didn’t get myself in a cabin by with my friends, Murphy and I both needed a jolt. For him, it was something to kick start his event, to help him find a passionate spark to the weekend.

    For me, it was a grounding, a coming back. I had already pushed through fatigue, an emotional struggle through my walk at the Labyrinth, and Green Eyes whispering horrible notions in my ear. I needed comfort, centering, the love I share with my family of friends.

    So Murphy and I were about to go to the dungeon to make ourselves right when fate tempted us. We peaked our heads into Cabin One and found EmberOfSerenity, Gray, And Janice all naked on a bed and inviting us in. The struggle, the shear will to pull ourselves away from them was excruciating. But we did, myself securing a rain check for cuddles later in the event.

    During our walk to the play space, Murphy spoke on how the feel of Fet differed from Rope Camp. He could already sense it would be closer to fireworks (fits, starts, pops, flashes of play and fun), as opposed to Rope Camp (a long, smouldering extensive burn). I thought this could be good for him, a challenge to adapt to his feeling yet still make this event his own.

    Taking our place under a wench, Murphy had me remove a little bit of clothing, but basically kept my school girl outfit in tact. I’d worn it because I knew he loved this particular look.

    He tied a chest harness on me, our connection immediate and strong. He attached me, for the first time, to the hard point on my side. He lifted my left leg and worked on securing it to his ring. But I faltered. I didn’t keep my balance. He caught me, brought me back up, and righted my stance.

    I giggled even as I almost went topsy turvy towards the floor. Murphy got me standing and encouraged me to be strong in my right leg, to find my center. I held the position until he lifted my right leg and had me floating sideways.

    My giggling and smiling continued. He brushed his hand on my cheek, then punched my chest. I floated counterclockwise. After a full rotation, he again punched me, this time in the other direction. I drifted; I relaxed; I flew. My smile would not go away.

    Slowly he lowered the wench until I softly landed on the blue mat. He untied me; we hugged; I felt like me again.

  • Bomb-iversary

    My FetFest started Thursday evening.

    It was the first time I’d driven to New York. GoogleMaps said it would take me about five hours, so I sped. With my newly acquired Easy Pass, the first few states breezed by. And then I hit the New Jersey Turnpike…

    After that particular torture, I took a tunnel and found myself in the Big Apple, slowed down by rush hour traffic, but in the city at 5:30pm, an hour and a half ahead of schedule.

    I headed to the address where Murphy instructed me to meet him. I texted him of my early arrival, and circled the surrounding blocks a few times before finding a spot. With my things for FetFest packed in my trunk, the only item visible from the outside of my car was Winnie, my stuffed penguin who sat by the back windshield.

    Out of the car, and happy to be moving my legs around, I half skipped my way to the house. I texted him I was outside. I waited.

    After a time, I called. “I’m outside.”

    “I know. You look sexy.”

    “What? You can’t see me.”

    “Still, I know you look sexy.”

    He opened the front door and greeted me with a hug. He introduced me to his friend SwordSaint. All three of us departed.

    As we walked, my smile hurt my mouth; I was so happy to be in the city and with Big Bro again. We stopped for impromptu ice cream and the boys explained their rules of padiddle to me. We hopped on the Subway and made our way to the sight of the Bomb.

    I asked about NYC geography, and was soon confused. 

    We scoped out the starting spot, making sure it would work. Satisfied that all was good, we headed to the diner. We ordered, we ate, and the people started streaming in.

    I kept count as unfamiliar faces joined our ever growing group. The final headcount…40. Just about everyone who had ever participated in a Bomb attended this anniversary gathering. I had the sweet distinction of having this be my first rope bomb.

    NYR Cabin was well represented, with Big Bro, myself, CabinMeat, CabinThug, and CabEx all in tow, and CabinElder due to arrive later.
     
    Satisfied all possible participants were in attendance, we headed out. Murphy had us all shout out our names. He gave his bomb speech, and his CabinThug warning. (If you walked too slowly, CabinThug brought his whip.) We were off.

    Once again, I was bouncy happy. As we walked, I chatted with Big Bro, congratulating him on the massive turnout.

    At the first stop, Murphy gave everyone twenty minutes. We spread out like a web, with no one straying far out of sight. I, in error, left my rope bag in my car, thinking I would bottom that evening. Instead, there was a glut of willing rope bottoms, so I strolled around taking pictures with my iPhone. SwordSaint had Murphy’s camera and captured images as well.

    At our second site, we encountered a small hiccup with the authority. We moved on.

    At the third sight, we were fifteen minutes into our twenty minutes allocated before the authority circled back. They explained, with a crowd of our size, we needed a permit. With apologies, their point was noted for next year. We moved on, much farther away this time.

    It was closing in on midnight. Ten minutes for this third stop. With no rope of my own, and no one to tie me, my eagerness had waned. I wanted, needed something to jolt me back.

    Enter Hermes, who said he need assistance as I jogged behind him and his two demo bottoms. I explained I knew basic harnesses and offered my help. He asked for a chest harness. “Arms tied or free?” He asked for a hip harness. “With or without a crotch rope?” As he worked on one, I worked on the other. We had them up, photos taken, and down within the alotted time. My heart sang again.

    With the group reformed, and some fallen off by the late night, we stopped for refreshments. I bought two bottles of Gatorade, chugged one, and sipped the second slowly. Our night was far from done. We moved on.

    While chatting, I mentioned how I lacked rope and wanted desparately to tie. A guy offered both himself and his rope for my assistance. At our next stop, I felt a rush as I tied a carada on him.

    At our fourth, and final, stop, I wanted to feel rope on my body. After tying the man again, this time in a predicament with CabinMeat, I decided to self suspend. With just a hip harness, the guy helped me up onto my hard point: the metal railing of a walkway.

    With the ropes secured, I sat into the harness and leaned my body back, extending my arms above my head, my body arching towards the ground. SwordSaint captured the moment.

    With 3am approaching, and exhaustion creeping in on everyone, the Bomb-iversay disapated like a sweet mist.

    Murphy, SwordSaint, and I crashed back at the house where I’d initially met them. Murphy took the couch while SwordSaint and I snuggled on a mattress on the floor. I was tired, sleepy, and ready to pass out. SwordSaint comforted me and kept me warm as I drifted into a deep, but brief, sleep.
