Flash Fiction Friday 7-23-10: "Bound and Determined"

(Image provided by Sephani Paige; original source unknown)

It was the hardest thing she'd ever done, but the promise of reward was glorious. Was her flesh as strong as her spirit, or would she fall to pieces, betrayed by her traitor body?

First she was stripped, ruthlessly, roughly, shivering with shock. Then her wrists were yanked back – exquisite agony! – and the rough hemp twined about her arms and torso, cutting cruelly, rasping the raw edges of desire. Then placed just so – limbs angled, head down.

Cramped and trembling, aching with need, dreading and anticipating what came, she awaited her awakening. Footsteps drew near, heralding her doom and salvation.



Your challenge for today was to use the picture above and write a flash fiction of 99-103 words. Additionally, I provided a key phrase I wanted to see used somewhere in the...ahem...submission: 

"...cramped and trembling, aching with need..." 

Nobody's checking word counts, or for the key phrase, but you're only cheating yourself if you break the rules. Unless you're doing it to earn a spanking (in which case, see me after class).

The following people are participating this week. Go check out their take on this FFF, won't you, and thank 'em for playing along.

Anticipation is everything, isn't it? Wouldn't you rather make up your own mind about what's next on the menu? :)

late to my own ball...Cinderella would be impressed :P I've got my entry! Hectic week, I hadn't even noticed it was nearing Friday already!

Bella said...

oooh thats a very good story Panser :) enjoyable read

Naughty Lexi said...

"...betrayed by her traitor body." Lord, my body would betray me in about 5 seconds in that pose. But that's what fiction is for, and I love how this captures that anticipation.

You know how much I like anticipation! ;-)

As usual... great FFF!

Bilinda Ní Siodacaín said...

Ooooh I want, I want!!! I find the waiting and anticipating to be utter agony! Lol I'll take anything but that, well that and denial. Wonderful as always PB, you out do yourself!
always,

As she sits trembling and aching, I do the same, my heart thudding my chest, my raspy breath breaking the silence.

Once again, searing sexuality captured in the most delicious economy, PB... xx

Sephi: Well, at least you did get it in while it was still Friday. I'll let you off with a warning this time. :) Thanks for the pics!

Bella: I'm glad you enjoyed it, and welcome!

Lexi: Fantasies and fiction can be much more interesting than reality (particularly for those of us with boring lives). Nice to see you recognize the allure (though your own life is pretty interesting by comparison).

Spring Flower: I do indeed know! Why do you think I've withheld that spanking for so long? :)

Bilinda: Absence makes the pussy get wetter, eh? I'll keep that in mind. :)

Minx: Thank you so very much for saying so. Most pieces I'm never quite content with, so it's nice to hear comments like yours.

Hmmm, it does, however, I also find my urge to tear skin, with tooth and nail also increases. So really, I wonder is it worth the absence? ;)
always,
Bilinda

Bilinda: Oh, I don't know. Some of us like that. :)
