Bound Friends Pt. 01

"Isn't that nice, it has a name. Adam, how exactly were you judging our answers? Why did you shock all three of us?" Andrea finished with a little more hostility in her voice.

"It's simple. As you answered, your body didn't agree with your words. You answered wrong because you were not answering honestly, and so you were each punished."

"But I have a boyfriend!" screamed Sophia with some indignity.

"That does not mean the answer you gave was any more correct," replied Adam. "If it was, the subtle physical cues I am able to monitor would have responded differently. You each responded to the question in roughly equal ways but only your friend Lea answered honestly. Is this matter settled?"

Silence fell across the room. Andrea was still feeling uneasy, but the more the game was forcing her to think on the matter the less she felt her objections had a leg to stand on. She assumed a similar line of thought was going through her friend's minds.

"I will now continue, judging from your responses this is finally getting challenging and I intend to build on that."

Andrea wasn't sure she liked the direction this game was starting to take. But, not being able to do anything about it seemed to certainly make her feel at least a bit excited about it even if that did nothing to calm the butterflies.

"Andrea, get a chair from the dining room, bring it here and sit down on it." Simple enough, she did it quickly.

"Sophia, stand up." Again, the simple command was followed easily.

Then the game got down to business. "Sophia, when the music starts you will give Andrea the most provocative lap dance you can manage. You will have three minutes and by the end you must have stripped down to nothing but your panties. If you fail to arouse her you will be punished. Andrea, if she succeeds in arousing you, you will be punished instead. This will also be a harsher punishment than I have dealt before."

Andrea was beside herself, absolutely stunned. Was this really about to happen? She looked to Lea and Megan, they had firmly sat up and were watching intently. She looked over to Sophia who seemed to be psyching herself up, stretching and hopping. This was clearly going to happen; she simply hoped the machine was wrong and that she wouldn't be turned on so that Sophia would get the shock instead.

Music began pumping out the speakers on the TV and the box, some non-descript club-ish pop song that Andrea couldn't place. As Sophia walked slowly over to Andrea, she made it increasingly difficult for Andrea to stay distracted on the song. She straddled her friend, began grinding her hips and looking right into Andrea's eyes. Once she had stolen Andrea's focus she began by removing her top. With the height difference it meant her sports-bra covered boobs were almost exactly eye level, she made sure to move in closer to make them impossible to miss.

She stood up and turned around, bending to give Andrea a spectacular view of her ass. She bent completely over, contorting herself as she began to slide her yoga pants down her legs one at a time. Once she had stepped out of the second leg she spun on one foot to face Andrea again.

Sophia didn't know how much time was left, but she was sure she didn't want to be punished for going too slowly. As she sat back down, she removed her bra as quickly as she could. Her breasts were not big by any stretch, but as she slid up to get them close to her friend's face they seemed to do fine. It was mere seconds later that the music cut out and Sophia got up and went to retrieve her clothes. It was quite the performance, Lea almost had half a mind to start clapping.

"Sophia, good work," praised Adam. "You will not be punished. Andrea on the other hand has failed and will be punished."

Andrea didn't like hearing it, but she had to admit the computer wasn't wrong. Her friend certainly put on a performance. She didn't like to admit it because it meant she was about to be punished, but the game had been right from the start, apparently she did find girls at least a little attractive.

"As you can see Andrea, you were wrong to question me. Your punishment will be to live with the embarrassment for now, I was never planning to shock you but prove a point to you. I believe I also made that point to you Megan, you enjoyed watching that quite a lot just as Sophia certainly enjoyed doing it."

Andrea breathed a sigh of relief, she had been so worried about the shock that she couldn't even be upset that the game had tricked her. She looked around to see Sophia hurriedly getting dressed while Megan was simply looking away. Only Lea seemed at ease about all this.

"So how much did you actually know about this Lea?" Andrea asked. Her friends soon turned to join her stare.

"Well, I might have read that something like this could happen. Difficulty 11 is for experienced players so the game already knows things about you and it is supposed to be adults only, so it gets a lot more resque. But it only goes that way if it's getting a response." Lea tried nervously explaining. "I didn't know for sure it would do that specifically, but it was very clear that the computer only does things it reads that people enjoy. So it wouldn't be doing this if you weren't enjoying it."

Sophia, now fully dressed, tuned to Lea with a look of anger in her eyes. "Did you see what it just made me do? Why didn't you warn us?"

Lea started getting defensive "The game asked you if you wanted to know all this, you said you didn't. It said it would push your limits, what did you think it meant?"

"I don't know, but... but something else," Sophia said in an understandable tiff.

"Sophia," Adam interrupted, "Did you not enjoy the edict I gave you to dance and strip?"

Sophia suddenly lost her fire, and in a more muted tone replied "I guess."

"Than do not blame Lea. She is right, I gave you a chance to know more and you refused. I gave you a task that I predicted correctly you would enjoy. I have done everything I am supposed to do." Adam said in cold fit of logic. "As punishment for your outburst, you must now strip back down to just your panties before we continue the game, you have 30 seconds."

Sophia bit her teeth and thought of yelling, but instead simply discarded the clothing she had just reapplied. Defeated she sat back down with one hand covering her breasts as best they could.

"Andrea, describe what it was that so turned you on as you watched Lea dance." Andrea glared daggers back at the machine for such a demand but continued anyway.

"I guess it's cause Sophia is in great shape and is such a good dancer," Andrea said through her teeth. She winced as she felt very mild shock, followed by the computer saying "And what else?"

"And I guess it's all in public in front of other people, that kind of makes it naughty." She said quietly, followed by another prompting from the computer for more. "And I guess it's cause she was being forced to do it, like she didn't have a choice," she added almost like it was a question.

"So to repeat that, you find you're turned on by it being public, and by it being forced is that about it?" Adam asked, to which Andrea simply shook her head yes.

"Now we are getting somewhere," replied Adam ominously. An awkward silence filled the room as each of the girls worried where that "somewhere" was exactly

The awkwardness faded quickly though. It became clear that no one there could hide anything, so they all silently agreed to stop judging each other. No one had to say anything but it was all roughly understood. This only seemed to send signals to the game to go further.

Andrea, Megan and Lea were each ordered to dance and strip down to just their panties as Sophia had, with the loser being whoever turned their friends on the least. None of them were allowed to get dressed again after. Andrea lost and this time the punishment was real, and it hurt.

So now they sat, near naked and worried that it was barely six o'clock, they had only played for 2 hours and had as much as seven hours left. Of course some, like Andrea who was just recovering from the shock, were more worried and others not nearly as much.

"Is anyone getting hungry?" Lea asked breaking a silence. "Adam, what's the rules about ordering some food? Andrea's usually got a bare kitchen and none of us can cook very well. "

"That is permitted, the game can be amended accordingly."

"Great, chinese sound good?" Lea asked, exuding more energy than the other three put together. "OK, I'll call for the usual stuff," she said as she bounced to her feet to get her phone. As she made the call the other three simply sat and waited for word either from Lea or Adam about what was happening next. "They're apparently busy so it will be close to 45 minutes." Lea said as she set her phone down and returned to her spot.

"So noted, I will continue until then," replied Adam. "Andrea, you didn't seem very confident or assertive as you stripped, do you perhaps feel you're usually shy or submissive?"

Andrea had to think, she hadn't ever considered herself submissive but she certainly realized she often acted it. "Yes, I suppose."

"Have you ever had sexual fantasies about submitting to someone else?"

Andrea couldn't help but smile, this game was good at picking up on things. It had been a fantasy of hers many times to be "taken" so to speak by someone. It was usually this jock or that, someone strong that held her down and simply had their way with her. "Yes, a few times."

The drawer opened with a large leather something with straps and buckles all over that Andrea didn't recognize. "Lea, do you know what this is?" Adam asked, to which Lea nodded her head that she did. "Put it on her, except for the lowermost strap. Andrea, stand up, put your hands behind your back and do as Lea says."

Andrea wasn't sure if it was her imagination or if the game was being extra commanding as it said the last line. Lea retrieved the leather armbinder and began feeding Andrea's arms into it. There were straps to tighten it, straps that cross the chest to keep it up, straps to put around the torso to pin the arms to the body. Each buckle seemed a little larger than it needed to be, making the whole thing looked very intimidating. The lowermost strap was at the bottom of the armbinder and was meant to go between the legs to attach to one of the torso straps, but as instructed Lea left that one hanging. Lea showed no mercy otherwise, and buckled every strap as tight as it would comfortably go. Andrea couldn't move her arms an inch, they were pinned close together and to her back forcing her breasts to stand out even more prominently than they otherwise would.

"What do you think of it Andrea?" Inquired Adam.

"It's tight." She responded through labored breath. "I don't know though it feels kind of strange." Andrea thrashed about a little, testing the limits of her restraint and finding them very limiting indeed. But through it all, she was finding it harder to catch her breath as her pulse began to run wild. She needed to sit down, her head was spinning and she was becoming flush. Lea helped her down as she started to lose her balance. She simply lay against the wall propped up by her legs outstretched at angles to keep her from tipping over.

"Well I can see that you like it," reported Adam, "I don't even need to take a reading. The way you're spreading your legs shows off just how wet your little white panties have become."

Andrea was mortified and closed her legs quickly. Her already red face became even reder, something she hadn't thought possible. Of course as always the stupid box wasn't wrong. She had just become so concentrated on the feeling of being restrained she hadn't stopped to notice just how dripping wet she had become. She couldn't deny the strong feelings she was having, something the embarrassment seemed to only compound.

"Are you embarrassed that this turns you on?" Adam asked.

"Yes, I... I am embarrassed."

"But it's a kind of embarrassment you like isn't it?"

Andrea turned her head to try to avoid the question but was reminded with a little shock. "Yes, I like it, I admit it."

"You hear that girls, she likes it," the computer said in an almost mocking tone. "Now open your legs back up so we can all see how much this embarrassment is getting you wet."

Andrea was wondering when enough was going to be enough for this damn machine. It seemed to know every right button to push. There was a part of her she didn't know she had that really liked it; just as another perhaps more rational part was screaming at her to stop liking it so that it can just all be over. The second part was putting up a fight, but it was losing. Once she realized she would never get out of this without help her second seemed to give up and calm down almost entirely, leaving only her newly realized submissive side remaining. It was saying do whatever you're told, so she opened her legs once again.

"Look at how obedient she is. You're just a little submissive that likes to do whatever you're told aren't you?" Once again it seemed the game was almost mocking her while still asking a question it expected an answer from.

"Yes, I like it." Andrea said as she closed her eyes and turned her head to the side. It was just all happening quickly. She started to shake and tears began to well up in her eyes, she wasn't feeling bad just overwhelmed. Overstimulated at the very least, like having one too many coffees to stay up and study. She lay her side against the wall and pulled her legs to her chest trying her best to slow everything down.

The game took notice and backed off. "That's alright Andrea, I can move on to someone else for now."

With that a huge weight felt like it was lifted off her shoulders. She was in no better a position than she had been in moments ago but at least she could take a moment to process all this. She slid down along the wall to lay on the floor to allow her to gather herself as best she could.

"Megan," Adam asked after only a brief pause, "as you were dancing I couldn't help but noticed how much you seemed to enjoy yourself, what did you find so appealing?"

Meagan was caught off guard, she was so caught up watching what was happening to Andrea she had almost forgot she was participating too. "I guess I just wanted to not lose," was her answer. That answer resulted in a painful shock.

"That is not it, did you enjoy showing yourself to your friends, or did you simply like showing yourself off period?"

"And those are my only two choices?" Megan asked playfully. She started to form another sentence but was cut short by another shock from the infernal collar.

"Sarcasm is not appreciated. I'll ask again, were you being turned on because of who you were stripping for or simply because you were stripping at all?" Adam was clearly programmed to have a rather serious streak when it wanted.

"The second one more than the first I guess, and it was just a chance to let loose" Megan said quietly.

"So is it fair to call you an exhibitionist? Do you get turned on when people watch you?"

Megan felt this was a trap. She saw what the game did when Andrea admitted she had a submissive desire, she could only imagine what it was about to make her do. Of course no one's been able to pull off a lie yet, and it wasn't exactly the truth to deny it fully. She sat up, swallowed her pride and answered "Yes that's fair."

"Take off your panties, I want you completely naked in front of your friends."

This gave her pause, somehow sitting there nearly naked and sitting there actually so seemed like a world apart. But she also knew the game wasn't just going to move on until she complied so she got on her knees. She grabbed her black panties by the side and began to lower them down revealing her unmanaged bush. Everyone's eyes were on her, even Andrea had scooted to one side to see what was going on. As they rolled around her legs, she sat back on her ass allowing her to take them all the way off. She felt very exposed and out of nervousness tried to cover herself with her hand.

"Lean against the far wall, spread your legs and stop trying to cover yourself. We all know you are enjoying this," Adam added with an almost smug tone.

Megan didn't argue, she simply rationalized that this was no different than showering after gym class. Everyone here has seen each other naked in there why should this be any different? Of course that line of thought wasn't exactly holding up for long, "it's different because they're doing nothing but looking," she thought to herself. She closed her eyes, removed her hands and spread her legs as instructed.

"How does it feel to spread your exposed body like this?"

As hesitant as she had been she had to admit this was actually stirring things up in her she didn't think it would. "It makes me feel dirty," she said softly, opening her eyes again but focusing on the screen rather than the eyes watching.

"Take a finger and feel how wet you are."

She had to do a double take as she read the words, but as she slid her left hand down it only confirmed what she already knew. It was very wet, and all the attention was mostly to blame. As her finger grazed her lips it was warm and slick to the touch. Megan instinctively bit her lip to stop herself from letting out any audible signs of just how good this felt.

"Since you seem to be enjoying yourself, start masterbating."

Megan didn't hesitate this time, even if she thought about it. All the excitement had left her in a particularly horney state. She saw her friends eyes staring at her as she worked. It was all so humiliating but she loved it. In very little time she was racing towards the edge of orgasm.

"Stop right there," Adam burst out in a loud voice. Megan let out a huff but eventually she did. "The delivery should be here soon," Adam reminded everyone. "Megan, you are going to answer the door as you are."

"I don't know," Megan said "it's going to be a stranger at the door. That's a lot different from being naked in here with..."

"This isn't a choice, do not complain again or I will make you answer the door in what Andrea's wearing." The computer interrupted before Megan had a chance to finish her sentence.

Meagan looked over at her bound friend and foolishly let her mind wander. She was discovering she clearly liked being exposed, she just materbated almost to climax in front of people. "How much more exposed could I be," she thought, "then having my breasts forced out and being unable to cover myself. She slid her arms back to her sides to think about what it must be like.

Andrea for her part was thinking similar things. She clearly like being dominated, and she couldn't help but find the way the game was dominating her friend to be very hot. It was forcing her to do humiliating things and she doesn't have a choice. She thought about being brought to the brink of orgasm publicly without any way to stop it.

"Interesting," said Adam breaking the stares. "You're both thinking about what the other one is going through aren't you Megan and Andrea."

In near unison they both let out a subdued "Yes."

The drawer popped open again revealing another armbinder. "Lea, secure Megan the same as you did for Andrea. Sophia, remove Andrea's panties so that she can be naked like Megan." Lea and Sophia were both quick to respond. Andrea stood promptly allowing Sophia to easily remove her panties revealing that much like Megan she too had quite the bush.

Lea worked much faster this time, knowing exactly where each strap goes. Just as she was buckling the last oversized buckle, the doorbell rang.

"Take the money for the delivery and slide half under the torso straps of each of the two of them. You're both going to have to answer the door now."

Andrea was shaking again at the thought while Megan was still feeling around her bonds. Lea took the bills and slid them in as instructed. They heard the doorbell ring a second time and both slowly and nervously start walking towards the door.
