Stress...that's what the doctor had said. Stress was to blame for the pain he had and for the headaches, stomach aches, etc. George needed some R & R. Beth booked a spa/hotel she had been looking at and before he knew it they were there.
After they checked in and settled down, Beth led him to the bath she had poured and helped him to get undressed.
George relaxed in the tub and tried to think about nothing. He finally strained to get up and dry himself off. He wrapped up in the hotel's terry robe and opened the door into darkness.
Beth took his hand and guided him into the room. She took off his robe and helped him lie face down on a table. The table war covered with a warm gel of some sort that seemed to mold to him and float him only a few millimeters off of the surface. His face rested in a hole which allo0wed him to breath easily. Beth (or someone) placed a soft silk blindfold over his eyes and tied it comfortably behind his ears. He saw nothing. Soon a pair of headphones were placed on his head and he heard nothing.
He waited.
He felt hands on his back, warm and strong, professional hands. They kneaded his muscles, relaxing him more and more. He lost himself in the massage, lost time and eventually fell asleep.
She was glad he had rolled over before falling into a light sleep. Beth carefully placed the extra wide cuffs on his wrists. The gel inside held him firmly yet comfortably in place. She moved to his feet and placed the restraints there. She smiled to herself when this was done. While he might be angry, what she had in store for him would be more than worth it.
George awoke to nothing.
He remembered having a blindfold and reached to pull it off but his arm would not move. He tried his legs but they were stuck too. There was no sound, no smell, not feeling and total darkness. He struggled a little but realized he was held fast.
