GLORIA...........The Homecoming 
Part 5
    Larry awoke to absolutely marvelous aroma's of coffee, bacon, cinnamon......who knew what all. He checked his watch to find it was 8:30 ! By farm standards, half the day was shot....and he was sure he was the last one sleeping. Quickly throwing on a pair of sweats he headed down the hall, checking Gloria's room as he went. It was empty and the BED WAS MADE! < Gloria's bed? he mused..> Jane, Robert and Gloria sat at the big round country dining table. The kids were already off to do their day's. Robert was dressed, Jane was lovely in a white bathrobe.....not "too tightly" tied in front. Gloria, freckled, curly auburn hair and designer glasses was an eyeful. She had dressed in her tightest jeans, a light blue denim shirt < again a half size too small > western belt and new boots....high heeled cowboy boots! He noticed for when she stood to greet him with a sweet little kiss she was his height!
    "What'll it be lazy bones?" Jane teased "There's eggs, scrapple, bacon, cinnamon toast!" Jane stood with her back against the sink and one hand on her hip...a dish towel over her shoulder waiting for his order.
    "Well <hehehe> I'm no good at decisions this early...maybe a little of each ???" Jane turned to the stove "You've got it!"
    Larry turned to Robert "Looks like a great day Rob..what's on your schedule?
    Robert rocked back in his chair and stretched...hands behind his head. "Well...I was hoping we'd ALL put in a little elbow grease straightening out the Milk Barn."
    "Well sure thing Rob! I'd be glad to help..that's for sure". Larry was enthusiastic and even as he spoke he wondered what the story was with Gloria. She was totally relaxed here at the table. Had her mother said something? Was the bondage cancelled? Suddenly before him appeared plates, make that PLATTERS! of food and a steaming mug of coffee.
    "Wow! Thank you Jane this all looks and smells wonderful!"
    Gloria spoke for the first time "If there's one thing I look forward to coming home it's Mom's breakfasts"
    "Oooo, thank you dear.." Jane enjoyed the compliment and she sat down between Robert and Larry bringing a cup of tea and some cinnamon toast. The conversation was brisk.....plans for the new farm .....Robert's new pool table......the pros and cons of horse ownership. Then a cross-talk between Gloria and Mom about clothes and the new Mall while Larry and Robert talked about the hunting scene locally. Jane excused herself and left the room.
    "Larry, could we go to the new Mall today? AFTER the barn Pete, don't worry! I'd just like to see the Mall!" Jane was walking back in
    "Really...and the Mall will enjoy seeing you too dear!" Before anyone could make sense of her comment Jane dropped into Larry's lap, a huge handfull of ropes, scarves and bandanas as she breezed by then returned to drop two used dish towels on top of it all. "Do the honors Larry old boy!! <giggle>"
    You had to be there to appreciate the look on Gloria Martin's face.......every emotion flashed on her countenance. Shock!, Surprise!, Fear! Disappointment, Despair!! "Mom!, please! You can't have him tie me up again??? Mom! I'm trying REALLY HARD!!...pulEEZE!! Gloria even clasped her hands prayerfully and begged her mother not to go through with it.
    "It's true Gloria you've been trying and doing very well...but this punishment was earned at Christmastime........to cancel it wouldn't be at all fair to your brother and sister would it???" Gloria stood and began to pace the kitchen
    "Mom...what can I say??? I'll do anything!! Jane smiled unnecessarily "Well it's up to Larry but I think the first "anything" would be to go to him with your hands behind your back dear!"
    "Oh! why didn't I stay in Boston...I KNEW this would happen...." As she spoke, though, she walked to Larry and tossing her head defiantly slapped her wrists together behind her. Larry was ready with a length of rope and soon several coils encircled the cuffs of her western shirt and then came the cinching...and very snug it was. Jane thought she saw her daughter bite her lip as the final knot was tied.
    "We'll re-tie them in front when we get to the barn so you can work, sweetheart!" Larry too was grinning.
    "It's NOT AT ALL FUNNY!! and Gloria kicked at Larry's leg and missed it but knocked over his chair. Instantly she realized what she had done to herself now.....and sure enough Larry ordered her to stand still, both feet together. In moments her ankles were rope hobbled to 12" step. <"Shit!" she thought but kept silent>. It must be said that the vision of the beautiful young bondee, breasts forced forward by her bound hands was not lost on anyone in the room. 
    Jane strode deliberately across the floor toward her daughter, snatching a length of clothesline from the pile she wrapped it twice about Glo's arms above the elbow and drew it tight till the girl's elbows were near touching...then the long ends went around her chest and back, criss-crossing her breasts and causing them to stand out even further. This was a bondage Jane herself had enjoyed many times, applied by Ken...though HER elbows could touch, she noted. Stepping back, Jane said "So, Larry!...where's your camera??" Larry nearly tripped over himself heading for the front room and his Nikon. Jane busied herself folding a bandana to a 2" width and shaking another out loosely. She stepped back to the sink and ran the cloth under warm water. Jane knew wetting the gag prevented it sticking to the mouth but also the saturated fibers blocked, even more, the passage of sound. She tossed a folded dish towel over her shoulder and casually approached Gloria who now just looked at her sadly.
    "Any last words Glo ?" Jane was smiling again as Gloria slowly shook her head. "Then open wide!" Gloria didn't resist. Her mouth opened fully and her mother carefully began to pack it full of the sodden bandana.
    "This will NOT be changed in the barn so we'll make it good!" A second bandana, dry, was folded to a square and Jane carefully if forcefully fit it behind Gloria's teeth and against the first gag. Gloria wheezed and strained hard not to gag on the cloth but she was having trouble! When all the cloth was deep in her mouth, the "bit" was pushed between her teeth and tied too tightly behind her neck. Now Glo's mouth was drawn back at the corners and her chubby cheeks bulged over the bandage. The gag looked awfully uncomfortable.....and it was. Next the dish towel was tied as tightly as Jane could knot it over Gloria's gag. Her mother then stepped back and extending a gracious hand toward the gag said "There! A blue and white towel completes her ensemble <heehee>!" Gloria was in terrible discomfort...her head moved back and forth slowly and what seemed like an involuntary "mewling" sound escaped her throat. Already her eyes had taken on the look of an exhausted, drained captive. Yes, the proud young bitch was every inch a penitent child! Larry pretended not to sense her plight, took her arm and told everyone they'd see them in the barn, whenever. Jane took Gloria's glasses from her face and in a mocking way, unlike her, patted her daughters imprisoned cheeks and sent her off with "Work hard dear! and watch out for snakes!! "mmmmfffaakkks????" Glo's eyes filled with fright at the very word and they silently entreated her mom...<Snakes?? Mom I'm SCARED!!! MOMMY!!>
    Larry picked up the cue and towed the young woman out the door and down the path to the barn. She bucked and stalled and dug her boot heels into the ground but was no match for Larry's strength and so she found herself dragged into the milk barn, and the heavy sliding door closed behind her. She could ONLY think of her mouth and the gag. The rag in her throat was ooozing water and she had to try and swallow it. She could not move her tongue to swallow so the liquid, tasting of bleach and soap found it's way down her throat anyway. She coughed and nearly gagged...she went to Larry and put her head on his shoulder for help but he remained in character.."Shovel or broom Gloria??" Her mind was elsewhere....."SHOV-EL OR BROOOOM GLO-RI-A!!!!" There was no answer. Gloria just looked him straight on and as her eyes filled with tears she began to wail! "unnnAAAAAAAAGGGGGNNNIIIEE!!!!" and her body just shook as she let her sobbing take it's course. Larry had picked up a broom and was now untying Glo's hands. With his pocket knife he cut the 6' rope in half and holding her left wrist against the broom handle he lashed her hand to it with several turns then cinched the rope between her wrist and the dowel. Her fingers clawed at the air but the broom was fast to her hand. He looped several turns about her right hand and tied them off then did the same to the lower end of the broom. She had a few inches of play to control the broom but could not put it down.
    "Get sweeping Babe....start over there in the corner!!!! I think you know NO-ONE's giving you a break until it's ALL DONE!!! Hobbled and securely tied to a broom, the beautiful co-ed made a delicious sight as she shuffled toward the corner of the barn...and began to sweep.
