Great Wall Lockdown
by Sophia Moon
CHAPTER 1 – GATE IS CLOSED
The first day of our lockdown began with silence. Not the peaceful kind, but the heavy, oppressive silence of five people suddenly cut off from the world. The ancient stones of the Great Wall seemed to absorb sound, leaving only the wind whistling through the watchtowers and the distant, muffled shouts of the authorities who had sealed us in this section of the wall with no warning, no explanation beyond "pandemic protocol."
I stood on the battlements, looking out at the rolling hills of northern China that had suddenly become our prison. The air was crisp and thin up here, carrying the scent of pine and something ancient—dust, stone, and history. My friends were scattered around the small watchtower we'd claimed as our temporary home, each processing in their own way.
Cindy was pacing, her practical hiking boots wearing a groove in the stone floor. Gilan sat with his head in his hands, probably mentally calculating how many days we might be trapped here based on our supplies. Garett—of course Garett was on his phone, trying to find a signal that didn't exist, his expensive suit already looking rumpled in the mountain air.
But Harry... Harry was leaning against the arched doorway, watching the rest of us with an unnerving calm. He'd always been like this—centered in chaos, confident when others faltered. Today, with his dark hair slightly disheveled by the wind and his jaw set with determination, he seemed more commanding than ever.
"We need to establish routines," he said, his voice cutting through the silence. "Structure will help."
Cindy stopped pacing. "Structure? We're trapped in a medieval fortress during a pandemic, and you're talking about structure?"
Harry pushed off the doorway and walked toward the center of the room. "Exactly. The more normal we can make this, the better." His eyes met mine for a fraction of a second too long. "We'll designate areas for sleeping, eating, and... other activities. We'll establish a rotation for watch duty, even though there's nothing to watch for."
I felt a strange flutter in my stomach as he spoke. Not attraction, not exactly—something more complicated. It was the same feeling I'd had watching him navigate that crowded market in Beijing yesterday, effortlessly bargaining with vendors while I struggled to remember basic phrases. The confidence that bordered on arrogance, the way he seemed to anticipate problems before they arose.
As Harry continued outlining his plan, I found myself studying the way his hands moved as he spoke—gesturing to emphasize points, occasionally touching the stone walls as if grounding himself in this ancient place. My gaze traveled up his arms to his shoulders, broad and solid beneath his hiking jacket. When he turned his head and caught me staring, I looked away quickly, heat creeping up my neck.
"Everyone okay with that?" Harry asked, and I realized I'd missed half of what he'd said. I nodded anyway, along with the others.
As night fell, Garett finally put away his useless phone. "Harry's right about structure," he said, surprising me. "I've been thinking about how we'll maintain order during our time here." A strange smile played on his lips. "I have some ideas about that."
The wind picked up outside, whistling through the arrow slits as if in warning. I wrapped my arms around myself, suddenly cold despite my down jacket. Something in Garett's tone suggested this lockdown would change us in ways we couldn't yet imagine.
CHAPTER 2 — WALL PROTOCOLS
The second day of our confinement dawned gray and oppressive. I woke to the sound of rain tapping against the ancient stone, a persistent rhythm that matched the anxiety thrumming through my veins. We had slept fitfully in the watchtower, each of us claiming a corner of the cold stone floor, separated by carefully arranged backpacks that served as flimsy barriers between us.
Garett was already awake, standing by the narrow window that overlooked the winding path of the Wall. He turned as I stirred with his silhouette stark against the dim morning light.
"Good. You're up." His voice carried the same authoritative tone he used in boardrooms. "We need to establish some ground rules for our time here."
I sat up, pulling my thin sleeping bag around my shoulders. "What rules? We're not in an office, Garett."
"That is exactly right." He approached me, his expensive hiking boots silent on the stone floor. "This is why we need structure more than ever. Without it, we'll descend into chaos."
The others were stirring now, rubbing sleep from their eyes as Garett continued. "I've been thinking about how to maintain order during our confinement. I propose we establish two types of days—Appreciation Days and Game Days."
Cindy snorted. "You're naming our lockdown days now?"
"On Appreciation Days," Garett continued, ignoring her, "we focus on gratitude and cooperation. We share resources, support each other emotionally, and maintain our usual boundaries."
Harry was watching Garett with an intensity that made my stomach clench. "And Game Days?"
"On Game Days," Garett's eyes gleamed in the dim light, "we explore. We push boundaries. We discover what we're capable of when normal rules don't apply."
The air in the tower suddenly felt thicker, charged with something unspoken. Gilan shifted uncomfortably, but Harry leaned forward, his elbows on his knees.
"I'm in," Harry said simply.
Garett smiled slowly. "I thought you might be." He looked around at each of us. "Today will be our first Game Day. And I'll be assigning partners."
My heart hammered against my ribs as Garett's eyes settled on me. "Frennie, you'll be with Harry." He turned to Gilan. "You're with Cindy."
Garett stood up. "The rules are simple. Whatever happens between partners stays between partners. No judgments, no recriminations. And remember—you can always say no. But saying yes..." He let the words hang in the air. "That's where the real discovery happens."
As if on cue, Harry rose to his feet and approached me. The rain had stopped, and sunlight now streamed through the arrow slits, casting patterns on the stone floor. He didn't touch me, but his proximity was enough to make my skin tingle.
"Ready for our first game?" he asked, his voice low and intimate.
I could only nod with my throat too tight to form words.
Later that afternoon, we gathered in the central chamber for a meal of our dwindling supplies. Harry sat beside me, his arm occasionally brushing against mine as we ate. Each contact sent a jolt through me that had nothing to do with the chill in the air.
Garett was explaining something about resource management, but I couldn't focus. Harry's hand moved from the table to my thigh, his fingers pressing gently through my jeans. I froze, my breath catching in my throat.
"You're not listening," he whispered, his lips close to my ear. "Does it distract you when I touch you?"
I could only manage a slight shake of my head, though the truth was the opposite. His touch was consuming my thoughts, making it impossible to focus on anything else. His fingers traced patterns on my inner thigh, each movement deliberate and knowing.
"Good," he murmured. "I like having your attention."
As his hand moved higher, I pressed my legs together instinctively, a wave of heat washing over me despite the cool stone beneath me. This was wrong—so wrong—but my body was responding with a mind of its own.
Garett's eyes met mine from across the table, and I knew he saw everything. He saw Harry's hand on my thigh, saw the flush on my cheeks, and saw the conflict in my eyes. And he smiled, as if this was exactly what he had intended all along.
CHAPTER 3 — FIRST SURRENDER
The third day of our lockdown broke with an intensity that matched the turmoil inside me. I had barely slept, replaying yesterday's moments—the weight of Harry's hand on my thigh, Garett knowing smile, the electricity that had passed between us.
Harry found me as I was attempting to organize our meager food supplies. "It's time for our game," he said, his voice leaving no room for argument.
He led me down a narrow stone staircase I hadn't noticed before, into a smaller chamber beneath the main tower. The air was cooler here, thick with the scent of ancient stone and something else—something masculine and intoxicating that was purely Harry.
"Kneel," he said, his voice soft but commanding.
My knees hit the cold stone floor before I could process the thought. The impact sent a shiver through me, part cold, part anticipation.
"Look at me."
I raised my eyes to meet his. In the dim light filtering through a high window, his face seemed carved from shadows, his expression unreadable yet utterly compelling.
"You've been thinking about this," he stated, not asked. "You haven wondering about what might happen between us."
I couldn't deny it. My body was already responding to his proximity, my nipples tightening beneath my shirt, a familiar ache building between my legs.
"Tell me what you want, Frennie." He began circling me slowly, his footsteps echoing in the small space. "Be honest. No one here will judge you."
My mind raced, conflicting desires warring within me. I wanted to maintain my dignity, to be the responsible friend everyone knew. But I also wanted—craved—the release that surrender might bring.
"I don't know," I whispered, the words barely audible.
Harry stopped in front of me, crouching down so we were eye level. "Yes, you do." He reached out, his fingers tracing my jawline. "You want to let go. You want someone else to take control. You want to stop thinking and just feel."
His touch was fire against my skin. I leaned into it instinctively, hungry for more.
"Tell me your fantasies," he commanded, his voice dropping lower. "The ones you never admit to yourself, let alone anyone else."
My cheeks burned with shame, but another part of me—the part that had been awakening since this lockdown began—thrilled at his directness.
"I..." I struggled to form the words, to give voice to desires I barely acknowledged. "I want to be... commanded. I want to have those choices be taken away."
Harry's fingers tightened slightly on my jaw. "Go on."
"I want to please someone. I need to be good for them." The confession hung in the air between us, raw and vulnerable.
A slow smile spread across Harry's face. "I know." He stood up, resuming his circling. "I've seen how you watch me. How you respond when I take charge."
His hand brushed against my hair as he passed behind me, sending another jolt through my system.
"Take off your shirt," he said, his voice still soft but now edged with steel.
My fingers trembled as I fumbled with the buttons, but I didn't hesitate. The cool air hit my skin as I exposed myself to his gaze, my breasts spilling over the simple bra I wore.
"Beautiful," he murmured, stopping in front of me again. "Now take off the bra."
I reached behind me, unhooking the clasp with shaking fingers. The fabric fell away, and my nipples hardened instantly in the cool air.
Harry's eyes darkened as he looked at me. "Touch yourself."
I hesitated for only a moment before my hands moved to my breasts, cupping them, thumbs brushing over the sensitive peaks. A soft gasp escaped my lips as pleasure shot through me.
"That's it," he encouraged. "Show me how you like to be touched."
My fingers tightened around my nipples, rolling them between thumb and forefinger. The sensation shot straight to my core, making me wetter with each passing moment. I squeezed my breasts together, watching Harry's eyes follow my every movement.
"Slide one hand down," he commanded. "Touch that pussy that's getting so wet for me."
My hand trembled as it moved down my stomach, slipping beneath the waistband of my jeans. My fingers found my clit, already swollen and sensitive. I circled it slowly, my breath catching in my throat.
"Tell me what it feels like," Harry demanded with his voice rough with desire.
"So good," I gasped. "I am so wet."
"Show me," he said. "Pull those jeans down. Let me see."
My hands fumbled with the button and zipper, pushing my jeans and panties down to my knees. The cool air hit my exposed flesh, making me shiver with anticipation.
"Spread your legs," he commanded. "Wider."
I complied, my knees pressing into the cold stone. My fingers returned to my clit, rubbing in circles as my other hand slid down to tease my entrance.
"Fuck yourself with your fingers," Harry ordered. "Show me how you'd take my cock."
I slid two fingers inside myself, gasping at the sudden fullness. I began to pump them in and out, my hips rocking in rhythm with my movements. The wet sounds of my arousal filled the small chamber.
"Look at me while you do it," Harry commanded.
I raised my eyes to meet his, my fingers still working inside me. The intensity in his gaze was almost overwhelming, driving me closer to the edge.
"Faster," he said. "Make yourself come for me."
My fingers moved faster, my thumb pressing against my clit as my other fingers pumped in and out. The pressure built inside me, a coiling tension that demanded release.
"Please," I gasped. "I need to come."
"Not yet," Harry said with his voice sharp. "Please stop."
My hands froze, my body trembling with frustration. I looked up at him, desperate.
"Please," I begged. "Harry, please."
He smiled slowly. "Good girl." He knelt in front of me again, his face close to mine. "You please me when you beg like that."
His fingers replaced mine, sliding into my wetness with practiced ease. I cried out as he found my clit, circling it with expert precision.
"Come for me now," he commanded. "Come all over my fingers."
My body convulsed as pleasure washed over me, wave after wave of ecstasy that left me breathless and shaking. Harry continued to stroke me through my orgasm, drawing out every last drop of pleasure.
When I finally came back to myself, I was still on my knees, my jeans around my ankles, Harry's fingers still inside me. He slowly withdrew them, bringing them to his lips.
"Taste yourself," he said, holding his fingers to my mouth.
I opened my mouth, tasting my own arousal on his skin. The intimacy of the moment was overwhelming, a new kind of surrender that went beyond anything I had experienced before.
"Now get dressed," he said, his voice returning to its normal tone. "Our time is up for today."
As I fumbled with my clothes, my hands still trembling, I knew this was only the beginning. Harry had shown me a part of myself I hadn't known existed, and I already craved more.
CHAPTER 4 — TOWER OF SURRENDER
The fourth day dawned with a clarity that belied the storm brewing inside me. I had spent the night replaying Harry's commands, his touch, the way he had drawn pleasure from me with such confidence. This morning, as I organized our dwindling supplies, my hands trembled with anticipation.
Harry found me just after breakfast, his expression unreadable. "It's time," he said simply, his voice leaving no room for argument.
He led me not to the small chamber below, but up a narrow spiral staircase I hadn't noticed before. The stone steps were worn smooth by centuries of use, winding upward into the main tower. The air grew warmer as we climbed, thick with the scent of dust and sunlight.
"The highest chamber," Harry explained as we reached a heavy wooden door. "It was Garett's idea."
He pushed the door open, revealing a circular room with arrow slits carved into the thick stone walls. The morning light streamed through these openings, casting patterns on the floor. In the center of the room stood a simple wooden table, unlike anything I'd seen in this ancient place—clearly brought here recently.
"Garett believes in proper settings for our games," Harry said, a slight smile playing on his lips. "And today's game requires an audience."
My heart raced as I noticed movement in one of the arrow slits. Gilan's face appeared, watching us from the tower across the courtyard. His expression was unreadable, but I knew he saw everything.
"Strip," Harry commanded, his voice soft but absolute.
My fingers fumbled with the buttons of my shirt, but I didn't hesitate. The fabric fell away, and I stood before him in my simple bra. The cool air raised goosebumps on my skin, but beneath that, a fire was building.
"Everything," Harry said.
I unhooked my bra, letting my breasts fall free. My nipples tightened instantly, not from cold but from anticipation. I pushed down my jeans and panties, stepping out of them until I stood completely bare before him.
"Beautiful," Harry murmured, circling me slowly. "Turn around."
I complied, my breath catching in my throat as his hands moved over my body—tracing my spine, cupping my ass, sliding between my legs to find me already wet.
"You've been thinking about this," he stated, not asked. "You have been wondering about what I might do to you."
I could only nod with my throat too tight to speak.
"On your knees," he commanded, gesturing to the wooden table. "Bend over it."
The rough wood pressed against my breasts and stomach as I positioned myself as instructed. My ass was exposed, vulnerable, waiting. I heard the sound of Harry unbuckling his belt, the metallic clasp echoing in the circular room.
"Look at Gilan," Harry said, his voice close to my ear. "See how he's watching you?"
I raised my head to meet Gilan's gaze through the arrow slit. His eyes were wide, fixed on us, one hand moving beneath the waistband of his jeans.
"He's touching himself watching you," Harry continued. "Does that excite you? Being watched while I fuck you?"
I whimpered, pushing back against him, desperate for contact.
"Patience," Harry murmured, his hands gripping my hips. "I'm going to make you beg for it."
He entered me slowly, inch by inch, stretching me open around his thick cock. I gasped at the sudden fullness, my fingers gripping the edges of the table as he began to move.
"Look at me when I fuck you," he commanded, pulling my hair gently so I had to raise my head to meet Gilan's gaze.
Harry began to thrust in earnest, his hips slapping against my ass with each movement. The table groaned beneath us, the sound mixing with my cries and Harry's grunts of exertion. I was completely exposed—fucked from behind while our friend watched from across the courtyard.
"You like this, don't you?" Harry growled with his rhythm increasing. "You like being watched and being used."
I could only moan in response, my body arching to meet his thrusts. The pressure was building inside me, a coiling tension that demanded release.
"Not yet," Harry said, as if reading my thoughts. He slowed his movements, teasing me with shallow thrusts that kept me on the edge without pushing me over.
"Please," I begged, my voice ragged. "Harry, please."
"Please what?" he demanded, his fingers digging into my hips.
"Please let me come," I gasped. "I need to come."
He laughed, a low, throaty sound that sent shivers through me. "Not until I say."
He continued to tease me, alternating between deep thrusts that made me see stars and shallow movements that kept me hovering on the edge. Through the arrow slit, I could see Gilan's arm moving faster, his face flushed with arousal.
"Look at him," Harry said. "He's going to come watching you get fucked. How does that make you feel?"
The thought sent a fresh wave of arousal through me, my pussy clenching around Harry's cock.
"Answer me," he commanded with his voice sharp.
"It makes me hot," I gasped. "Knowing he's watching... knowing he's getting off on this."
"Good," Harry said. "Then maybe I'll let you come soon."
He increased his rhythm again, his thrusts becoming harder, deeper. The table scraped against the stone floor with each movement, the sound mixing with our cries of pleasure. I was so close, so desperately close to the edge.
"Please," I begged again. "Harry, please, I need to come."
"Not yet," he moaned with a persistent thumping. "Not until Gilan comes first."
Through the arrow slit, I watched as Gilan's body tensed, his head thrown back in ecstasy. I knew he was coming, and the thought pushed me closer to my own release.
"Now," Harry commanded. "Come for me now."
My body convulsed as pleasure washed over me, wave after wave of ecstasy that left me breathless and shaking. Harry continued to thrust through my orgasm, drawing out every last drop of pleasure.
"Look at me," he demanded, pulling my hair again. "Watch me come."
I raised my head to meet his gaze as he thrust one final time, his body tensing as he filled me with his release. The warmth spread through me, a final wave of pleasure that left me limp and satisfied.
Harry collapsed against my back, his weight pressing me into the table. We stayed like that for a moment, our bodies tangled together, catching our breath in the aftermath of our shared release.
"Get up," he said finally, his voice returning to its normal tone. "We're not done yet."
I struggled to my feet, my legs trembling with exertion. Harry guided me to one of the arrow slits, positioning me so Gilan could see me clearly.
"Touch yourself," he commanded. "Show him how wet you are with my come."
My fingers found my clit, still sensitive from my orgasm. I began to rub it in circles, my breath catching in my throat as pleasure built again.
"Look at him," Harry said, his voice close to my ear. "See how he's watching you? See how hard you've made him?"
I could only moan in response, my fingers working faster as I approached another orgasm.
"Come for him," Harry commanded. "Let him watch you come."
My body convulsed again as pleasure washed over me, this time more intense than before. I cried out, my fingers still working my clit as waves of ecstasy pulsed through me.
"Good girl," Harry murmured, his hands gripping my hips. "That is a very good girl."
As I came down from my high, I became aware of footsteps on the staircase. Garett appeared in the doorway, his expression unreadable.
"Excellent," he said, his eyes moving between me and Harry. "Very excellent indeed."
CHAPTER 5 — DAWN OF RECKONING
The fifth day began with the realization that our time on the Wall was running out. During the night, we had heard distant voices, the sound of vehicles approaching. The authorities were coming to end our lockdown.
I woke early, the gray light of dawn filtering through the arrow slits. Harry was still asleep beside me, his body warm against mine in the cool morning air. I watched him sleep, my mind racing with everything that had happened between us.
The others were already stirring when I emerged from the upper chamber. Cindy was packing our meager supplies, her movements efficient and purposeful. Gilan sat by one of the windows, staring out at the winding path of the Wall. Garett stood in the center of the room, already dressed in his expensive hiking gear, as if ready to leave at a moment's notice.
"They'll be here by noon," he said, not looking at me. "We need to be ready."
Harry appeared behind me, his hand resting on the small of my back. "We have time for one last game."
Garett's eyes met mine, and I saw something new there—something that looked almost like approval. "Make it memorable."
Harry led me not to the upper chamber or the small room below, but to the battlements at the very top of the tower. The morning air was crisp and thin, carrying the scent of pine and something ancient—dust, stone, and history.
"I want you to remember this," Harry said, his voice low and intense. "Remember how you felt here, with me."
He kissed me then, his lips claiming mine with a possession that left me breathless. I responded eagerly, my hands tangling in his hair as I pulled him closer.
"I want to fuck you here," he murmured against my lips. "I want to do it where anyone could see."
My body responded instantly, a familiar ache building between my legs. "Yes," I whispered. "Please."
Harry pushed me against the ancient stone, his hands roaming over my body as he kissed me again. His fingers found the hem of my shirt, pulling it over my head to expose my breasts to the cool morning air.
"I'm going to make you come so hard," he promised, his lips trailing down my neck. "So hard you'll never forget it."
His mouth found my nipple, sucking it gently before biting down just enough to make me gasp. His hands worked at the button of my jeans, pushing them down along with my panties until I stood bare before him on the ancient battlements.
"Turn around," he commanded. "Get those hands on the wall."
I complied, my palms flat against the rough stone as I bent over, presenting myself to him. The morning air caressed my exposed skin, raising goosebumps that had nothing to do with the cold.
"Look out," Harry said, his voice close to my ear. "Look at the Wall, the mountains, everything. This is yours today. This moment is yours."
I stared out at the rolling hills of northern China, at the ancient stone structure winding across the landscape like a stone dragon. Below, I could see the dust of approaching vehicles—our rescuers, our return to the world we had left behind.
"I'm going to fuck you now," Harry said, his hands gripping my hips. "And you're going to come for me while you watch them approach."
He entered me in one smooth thrust, filling me completely. I cried out, my fingers pressing against the stone as he began to move, his hips slapping against my ass with each movement.
"Watch them," he commanded as he kept going. "Watch them come closer while I fuck you."
I stared out at the approaching vehicles, at the world returning to claim us, even as Harry claimed me from behind. The contrast was intoxicating—the ancient setting, the approaching modernity, the raw intensity of our coupling.
"You're mine," Harry growled, his fingers digging into my hips. "Say it."
"I'm yours," I gasped, my body arching to meet his thrusts. "Remember that I am completely yours."
"Come for me," he commanded. "Come while they watch."
The thought sent a fresh wave of arousal through me, my pussy clenching around his cock. Through the approaching dust, I could make out figures emerging from the vehicles—our rescuers, coming closer with each passing moment.
"Please," I begged, my voice ragged. "Harry, please, I need to come."
"Now," he commanded. "Come for me now."
My body convulsed as pleasure washed over me, wave after wave of ecstasy that left me breathless and shaking. Harry continued to thrust through my orgasm, drawing out every last drop of pleasure until I collapsed against the stone wall, spent and satisfied.
"Look at me," he demanded, turning me around to face him. "Watch me come."
I raised my eyes to meet his as he stroked himself, his hand moving faster and faster until his body tensed, his release spurting onto my breasts and stomach in thick, white ropes. The warmth spread through me, a final wave of pleasure that left me trembling with satisfaction.
Harry pulled me into his arms, his lips claiming mine in a possessive kiss that tasted of our shared release. We stayed like that for a moment, our bodies tangled together, watching as our rescuers approached the tower.
"We have to go," he said finally, his voice rough with emotion. "We have to be back to the real world."
I nodded with my throat too tight to speak. As we dressed in silence, I knew that nothing would ever be the same again. The lockdown had changed us all, but none more than me. I had discovered parts of myself I never knew existed, desires I never acknowledged, and a surrender I never imagined possible.
As we descended the spiral staircase, I could hear the voices of our rescuers growing louder—familiar sounds that suddenly seemed foreign after our days of isolation. The others were waiting for us at the bottom, their expressions unreadable.
"Ready?" Garett asked, his eyes meeting mine.
I took Harry's hand, lacing our fingers together. "Ready."
As we stepped out into the sunlight, leaving the ancient tower behind, I knew that this wasn't an ending but a beginning. The Wall had given us a gift—a chance to explore ourselves and each other without the constraints of the outside world. And now, we would carry those discoveries back with us, forever changed by our time in the stone embrace of history.
EPILOGUE
Three months later, I stood on my balcony, looking out at the city lights twinkling below. The night was warm with a stark contrast to the crisp mountain air of the Great Wall, but the memory was as vivid as if I were still there.
The door opened behind me, and Harry's arms wrapped around my waist. "Penny for your thoughts," he murmured, his lips brushing against my neck.
"Just remembering," I said, leaning back against him. "Yes I remember the Wall."
His hands tightened around me. "I think about it every day."
We had fallen into an easy rhythm since our return—still friends with the others, but something more between us. The dynamics we had discovered during our lockdown had followed us home, evolving into something new and sustainable in the real world.
"Garett called today," Harry said, changing the subject. "He wants to plan another trip."
I turned in his arms to face him. "Is there another lockdown?"
Harry smiled slowly. "He said something about needing to maintain order. That was about appreciating days and game days."
I laughed, the sound mingling with the distant traffic below. "Some things never change."
"Some things shouldn't," Harry agreed, his lips claiming mine in a kiss that tasted of history and possibility, of ancient stone and modern desire, of everything we had discovered in our stone prison and everything we would become now that we were free.
As we stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, I knew that the Wall would always be a part of us—a reminder of who we were and who we had become, of the surrender that had set us free and the power we had found in vulnerability. And I knew, with a certainty that settled deep in my bones, that this was only the beginning of our journey together.
