G.I. Joe: A Captivating Picture

At the G.I Joe military base, Shana M. O'Hara aka Scarlett strolled into a briefing room where her commander, Duke, was seated at a desk looking some recent reports over.

"What’s up Duke? Cobra at it again?" Scarlett asked while taking a seat on the corner of Duke's desk, an action he normally wouldn't find pleasing but with them alone he ignored it.

"Yeah, as you know Cobra is launching worldwide operations which is spreading us thin." He said sliding a folder in front of Scarlett who grabbed it and began to flip through it. "Even so, we found another operation happening at an upper New York state photoshoot gallery. One of Cobra's top men has slipped undercover and is working there. No details as to why."

"So I need to go in there and bust him?" She asked tossing the folder back onto the desk as it held little details.

"We confirmed there is an agent working there, but we don't know who it is and or why he is working there. That's your job, find out who it is, why he is there and bust him. Since we're spread thin, this is going to be a solo mission."

"Heh, should be cake as long as it's a Cobra grunt." Scarlett said taking to her feet and saluted. "I'll complete the mission as quickly as possible and return soon." She assured him as Duke nodded as Scarlett hurried off to complete her assignment.

Scarlett slowly walked into the Flashy Forever photoshoot studio, she was finishing fixing her hair after walking through a windy day as she was clad in a blue slit dress with yellow patterns near the bottom with dark stockings on and blue high heel shoes. She glanced around the crowded lobby, seeing some famous people mixed in the crowd along with a few rare celebrities that rarely went out.

"Hmmmm, a whole room full of reasons for Cobra to be here." Scarlett muttered as she tried to think of a reason as to why someone from Cobra would be here. "Guess I better blend in." She said walking forward and began to mingle with the crowd.

As Scarlett did this, the Cobra agent named Zed who had smooth blonde hair and wearing a dark suit, watched from a second floor balcony. He instantly recognized Scarlett's signature red hair from the many Cobra meetings on how the Joes defeated them.

"How nice of Duke to send me someone so pretty." He said giving her a lustful look before frowning. "But Cobra Commander will feed me to the snakes should I fail. I guess I'll have to show the lady the ropes and a hot night." He chuckled walking away as the photographers went out onto the floor where the crowd awaited.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen, please start lining up!" One of them shouted as everyone had a number already for the photo takes, everyone but Scarlett that is.

"Great, looks like I arrived too late." She muttered, fearing she would be kicked out before Zed slowly approached her with a warm smile on his face.

"Excuse me ma'am, do you lack a number?" He asked as Scarlett ran her hand through her hair blushing slightly.

"Ye-Yes, apparently so." She said trying to be bashful as if to seduce him.

"That is a shame, luckily for you I do have an open spot if you wish to take it? Granted, I dabble in the more, extreme side of photo taking." He said, talking in a smooth fashion which made Scarlett smile as she was getting a certain vibe from him.

"And what exactly is this extreme side?" She asked curious as they slowly walked off to the side.

"I dabble in fetishes, they really sell and are a hit. Fetishes like, bondage."

"Bondage?" Scarlett said a bit caught off guard.

"That a problem? If there is you will need to leave." He said giving her little choice.

"Well, it's harmless right?" Scarlett asked, not wanting to blow her cover as he began to lead her to a small side room.

"Of course, just a little tight for the authentic look but no real danger to it." He assured her, being super cool about it as they were soon in the sound proof room, with the door shut behind them. A black bag sat in the center of the room, a camera set up in front of it with a stool behind it against a backdrop green screen.

"Well, people have always wanted to tie me down." She joked lightly making Zed chuckle.

"With your lovely slender body, I'm sure everyone wants to." He said motioning her to take a seat which she did.

"Do be gentle, I hate to have to explain why I have red marks all over my body to my friends."

"Then wear these." He said handing her a pair of long silkily light blue gloves which she happily put on that went up to nearly her elbows. "Wonderful." He stated as he dangled a pair of silver handcuffs in front of her as Scarlett gulped, always hating to be on the receiving end of them.

Without a word, she placed her wrists behind her back where he slowly and tightly closed the cuffs around her wrists.

"Owww, a little tight?" She complained as he looked sorry.

"I have a few pro fans who can spot weak bindings, I do have to make this look real." He said taking some rope as Scarlett huffed a little as he began to wrap the rope snuggly around her upper arms, winding and wrapping the rope above and below her breasts, making them puff out more into her dress to reveal more of her cleavage as he cinched the rope tightly making Scarlett grunt softly.

He took more rope and bound her ankles and knees next in a cuff style under her dress and parted the slit on the dress to fully reveal her stocking clad legs. He then wrapped the rope tightly as possible and cinched it off making Scarlett grunt, who was happy that she decided to wear stockings with the outfit which began to rip a little from the tight rope.

"Now let’s begin." He said starting to adjust the lighting and focused his camera on her bound form.

"What? No gag?" Scarlett asked sarcastically.

"My fans enjoy the full look of the damsel's facial expression." He explained as everything was set. "Now struggle, struggle as if you were someone's captive and knew you would be killed soon if you don't escape." He said as that was easy for Scarlett, since she has had plenty of practice while on missions against Cobra.

As the sound of the camera shutter went off, Scarlett struggled furiously in the rope and handcuffs, grunting lightly as the bindings pressed heavily against her limbs and body. She squirmed from side to side, her pony tail hair whipping from side to side as she began to sweat a little from her struggles and the hot lights focused on her. Zed didn't stop taking pictures of her as the shutter kept sounding out as Scarlett began to grunt in her wiggling attempts to get free.

"Look helpless, now angry, now sad, now flustered and now begging." Zed ordered, Scarlett doing her best to match her facial expression to his demands as he took a picture of every one of them. He couldn’t hide his grin as he enjoyed Scarlett acting to his whims.

"Hrrnnn." Scarlett grunted becoming too flustered. "How much longer of this?" She asked, badly sweating now with her dress becoming damp from soaking up her sweat as an hour had already passed and her limbs began to grow sore from the tight bindings.

"We're done." He said turning off his camera and lights as Scarlett gave a sigh of relief as she needed to get back to her mission and get something cool to drink. She had glanced down for a moment and when she raised her head back up, she raised it up in time to see Zed approach her with a long strip of silver tape in hand which he promptly smoothed over her lips.

"Mrpmrn!?" She cried out shocked, instantly struggling as Zed grinned darkly.

"So sorry my dear Scarlett, that was a lovely photoshoot but now I must dispose of you in the name of Cobra." He hissed making Scarlett's eyes widen in horror as she felt like kicking herself as she began to struggle for real. Doing her best to try and wiggling out of the ropes but they were tied so she couldn't get free.

"Mmmrmrmmrmr!" She cried out as Zed easily picked her up and slung her over his shoulder as she began to worm in his hold.

"Hahahah, shame I have to get rid of you. I would love to take more photos of you." He said walking towards a side door which opened up to a long descending staircase and began to walk down them.

"Rrnrnrnrmmfm!" Scarlett cried out as she tried reaching for her rope knots and even though she could grasp them, the gloves over her hands were too smooth in order for her fingers to get a hold on the small knots and undoing them. With the handcuffs over her wrists so tightly she couldn't even remove them leaving her to grunt loudly being helpless.

"I made sure you can't get free." He said as he was soon entering an old incinerator room, which with a press of a button the fiery inferno machine roared to life with the lights coming to life as a conveyer belt began to move towards the incinerator. "Let’s see." He said hitting another button to stop the conveyer and strolled over to it where some straps were embedded onto the conveyer belt.

Zed laid her squirming body onto the belt and quickly strapped her down, buckling and tightening the brown belts above and below her breasts, one over her mid-section, another around her waist and three more over her thighs, shins and ankles.

"There you go, this will take you right into the fire and you will come out as smokey ash." He chuckled walking back to the button.

"Nrnrnrm! Mrmrmrmrnrnrn!" Scarlett cried out behind her gag as she wiggled harder, but with two different bindings she began to fear the worse.

"It's nice that you're all dressed up, because you have one hot date tonight. Do enjoy yourself!" He laughed while hitting the button, the belt humming to life which began to move Scarlett towards the fire.

"MRRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMM!" She screamed out and began to whimper as she squirmed madly. She heard Zed's laughter vanish as he went back upstairs, leaving Scarlett to grow closer and closer to the raging flames. "Nrnrnrm! Mrmrnrm!" She cried out as she craned her head back to see the flames getting closer and closer, the heat getting more intense as she began to sweat harder. "Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnrrrrrrrr." She cried out knowing this was the end of her.

She was moments away from the flames, she felt like she was melting already from the intense heat that the incinerator gave out. As she was about to touch the flames, they suddenly went out and everything stopped bringing some cooling relief to her hot body.

"Mrpmr!?" She cried out panting hard, her red face covered in sweat as she slowly looked up and her eyes widen as Duke walked towards her smiling.

"I've never known you to sweat on the job." Duke joked making her scowl behind her gag as he unstrapped her from the belt and slowly peeled her gag away, leaving it dangling by the side of her mouth.

"Oh Duke." She gasped happily, feeling safe now.

"We caught that Zed guy upstairs, he has an interesting hobby." Duke said holding up the pictures of Scarlett's bondage photoshoot, the images making her blush brightly in a pink shade under her red face.

"You can toss those into the incinerator behind me." She said seriously as Duke chuckled.

"Why would I do that?" He said slipping them into his shirt pocket making her frown.

"Duke! Give me those pictures and why am I not untied yet?!" She asked squirming lightly while extremely flustered.

"I believe Zed said something about a hot date for you tonight. Can't have the man be wrong now can we?" He said smoothing her tape gag back into place.

"Mrpmr?!" She cried out as he picked her up.

"So you got a date tonight, let’s get you back to my place and get you into something more, less sweaty." He said as Scarlett blushed some more as Duke carried Scarlett away so they both could have a wonderful evening together.

The end.
