I really enjoyed this story, I read the entire thing with a big happy smile on my face.
There is something both innocent and deeply evil about the way Pepper, the maid, takes to the idea of helping Steve to find out what bondage is like, and helps him to get the required experience for his writing. It seems such an odd request, but she treats is so seriously and naturally, asking questions so she can understand what he is looking for here, and setting about making it happen.
The teasing, the way she just takes and keeps control, and her control keeps on growing with time is very sexy.
Getting someone else to help, well, that was a surprise, and could easily have worked out differently! Pepper really does seem very keen on the idea of finding all of the ways that a kidnapping can go and happen, and making sure that Steve has the biggest and fullest experience possible.
Which is why the ending makes me smile so much. Steve really is coming across as young and naive here, after all that has been done to him already, why on earth would he think that Pepper's offer of a further kidnapping, at her home, was a metaphor is just so funny, and delicious!
I also had to go back to the beginning and check, and yes, his parents are on holiday for 2 weeks, so plenty of time for Pepper to really show Steve what a kidnapping can be like...
I am really looking forward to seeing you write more, especially if you keep some of the same playful yet strict feelings of this story
Roll on the next part
