Sean looked up from his laptop at his mother and asked, “Who, mom?”
“Our neighbor. She used to babysit you back in the day,” she said with a smile.
And then Sean remembered. She remembered a tall and attractive 20-year old whom he had developed a crush on. Sean was 10 years old then and he smiled, remembering Lorna as a very nice person indeed. She had married a foreigner and has spent a number of years abroad. Doing some quick calculations, he determined that she was now 38 years old.
Sean’s mind wandered and he remembered….
“Cops and robbers? Sure! How do we play?” asked Lorna
“I’ll play the bad guy and cop!” said Sean.
“So what will I play?” inquired Lorna.
“You’ll be the robbery victim. And then I’ll get to rescue you too!” quipped Sean.
Lorna’s eyebrows shot up questioningly but nodded her assent. Sean then went into his room and put on a bandanna to cover the lower part of his face, his toy gun and a backpack. He burst back into the living room brandishing the gun.
“Hands up! Don’t move or scream and you won’t get hurt!” Sean announced.
Lorna obligingly raised her hands and meekly said, “Please don’t hurt me Mr. Robber! Just take what you want, but don’t hurt me!”
“I will lady, but first I gotta make sure you don’t cause any trouble,” said Sean. He then dipped into the backpack and pulled out some rope.
“What’s that for? Please….” pleaded Lorna.
“Gotta tie you up while I rob the house!” said Sean as he approached his victim.
Lorna presented her hands to be bound but Sean ordered her to put them behind her back. Being a boy scout, Sean tied and cinched Lorna’s wrists efficiently. She happened to be wearing a yellow tank top and denim shorts. Sean noticed the clear white skin on her arms as he bound them.
Suddenly, Lorna said, “I can still run away you know.”
Surprised at Lorna’s reaction, Sean obligingly, tied her ankles together. He noticed how smooth and shapely her legs were as he finished the knot.
“Is that it? I think you should add more rope, Mr. Robber,” insisted Lorna
Now somewhat confused, Sean pulled out more rope and tied Lorna’s upper body more securely by adding strands over and above her breasts. He swallowed as his hands almost brushed the ample mounds that were just inches from his busy hands.
Boldly, Sean added more rope just above Lorna’s sweet knees. She nodded in apparent approval at his ropework. He then got two bandannas and cleave gagged the babysitter with one and blindfolded her with the other.
He then pretended to ransack the house, but quietly sneaked back to look over his lovely prisoner. He wished he could keep her tied up longer, but he sighed and went back.
Slipping into cop mode, he said, “Are you ok lady? We got a call about a burglar….” And he went about removing the blindfold and gag first before removing the rope from her ankles, knees, body and wrists. He did his work more slowly this time so he could have a closer view of this very attractive woman.
“Thank you, Mr. Policeman! The bad guy just tied me up so he could make a getaway,” answered Lorna. She then gave Sean a big hug much to Sean’s surprise.
His curiosity now piqued, Sean decided that he wanted to see Lorna again, if only to see how she looked now.

Sean knocked on the door and he heard a subdued, “Just a minute!” come from inside. The front door opened and he couldn’t help but stare at the beauty in front of him.
At age 38, Lorna was still as stunning as ever. Of course, now Sean was several inches taller than her 5 feet 5 inches, but she had the same long hair, now colored brown. She wore a floral print sundress and he could tell that she was still curvy in all the right places, if not more so. Her exposed arms were still lean and toned and her legs were still shapely and long. She sported a slight tan and this seemed to add an otherworldly sheen to her healthy skin. Her eyes had some slight laugh lines around them, but she looked younger than her age.
“Sean, is that you?” she asked and as recognition hit her, she rushed forward with a big hug, “OMG! It is you! You’ve grown up…and into a fine handsome man at that! Come in, come in!”
She had him sit on a comfortable chair in the living room and asked, “Coffee or something cold?”
“Coffee’s fine, Lorna,” answered Sean.
She soon came back with two steaming mugs with creamer and sugar on a serving tray.
“My gosh, I still can’t believe you’re all grown up in this handsome man!” exclaimed Lorna, “What are you doing now?”
Sean explained how he had finished engineering in college and now worked as a project manager at a large construction company. Lorna then related how her husband had died and she decided to come back instead of staying in a foreign land. They did not have children and she felt lonely especially since her husband did not have many relatives.
“I’m glad you’re back, Lorna. And you’re still quite the looker it seems,” said Sean.
“Not bad for an old woman, eh?” teased Lorna.
“Not bad, not bad at all! You’ve still got the traffic-stopping looks from years ago,” complimented Sean.
“Flatterer!” giggled Lorna as she blushed slightly.
After a moment of awkward silence, “Is that why you liked to tie me up so much?”
Sean almost choked on his coffee, then blurted out, “You still remember?”
“Of course!” she said, “You’re the only kid I’d trust with those tie-up games, because you were always the gentleman,”
Now it was Sean’s turn to blush and he replied, “I’ve always respected women and you most of all.”
“So you’re still single?” asked Lorna.
“Yup. Haven’t found the right woman…yet,” said Sean staring intently into Lorna’s brown eyes, “How about you? Don’t you find it lonely?”
“Sometimes,” Lorna mused, “But I do have a little business venture planned and that’ll keep me busy.”
More silence, then Lorna stunned Sean with, “Do you still play those tie up games?”
“Not for a very long time,” said Sean quietly.
“Would you like to play?” asked Lorna.
