"Silence in class, please. Girls sit down."

Standing in front of the class, Mistress Cindy, watched the twelve girls that followed her course Bondage 101 calm down.

"Today we continue with the explanation of some basic ties. Alice, will you please come in front of the class. Have a look at the slave here on the table. Her name is TMT 17."

The slave lay on the table on her belly, with arms and ankles tied together on her back.  

"Tell me Alice, what is this tie called?"

"It is a hogtie, ma'am."

"Exactly! Now Alice, explain to me, what are the characteristics of a hogtie?"

Alice had done her homework and needed only a quick glance at the slave.

"In a hogtie the sub is lain down flat on their belly, with wrists tied behind their back and ankles tied together as well."

"That's a good start, Alice, but it needs at least one thing more. Take another look at TMT here."

"Oh yes, wrist ropes and ankle ropes are connected by another rope."

"Exactly! However, bound in this way the sub can still move her arms and her legs. Today we will learn how to tie the slave much more strictly. Do you know where the slave's name TMT stands for?"

Alice didn't know, but a girl's voice whispered out of the class: "Touch My Titties".

"I heard that", said Mistress Cindy, "and it's quite wrong."

"No class, TMT stands for Tie Me Tight, because she is one of the slaves specially trained to demonstrate tight bondage. So don't be afraid to give an extra pull on the ropes, TMT 17 will like that."

"Now Alice, do you have any idea, how we can make TMT's hogtie more tight?"

"I think, Mistress Cindy, that we need to tie her knees and elbows as well."

"Excellent idea! Let's start with the easy one first. Tie her knees."

Alice picked up another rope from the bag that Mistress Cindy had brought with her. Just as she had learned she folded the rope in the middle. She made a loop above TMT's knees. She wrapped the double strands two times more around the legs and passed them again through the loop. Then she cinched the loops by winding the two strands in separate directions. She finished with a neat knot.

"Quite well, Alice. Do you remember how this tie is called?"

"The quick tie, Mistress Cindy."

"That's right. Now...are you sure you want to place the knot where you did?"

Alice pinched her brows, thinking. Several hands went up in the class and Mistress Cindy chose Beverly to answer.

"Alice put the knot on the back, too close to the hands of the slave."

"Very good, Beverly. Will you please correct that, Alice?"

"OK class, next the elbow tie. Where should it be placed?"

On that easy question, the answer came quick: "A few centimeters above the elbows."

"Excellent", said Mistress Cindy, "the ropes should not tie the elbows together exactly on the elbow... the ropes should be about five centimeters above the elbows. That makes a big difference for the circulation."

And on the lesson went.

TMT however, getting more and more relaxed, was wondering when the subject matter would change to blindfolds and gags.
