Considering all that had happened to her until now, this could hardly be counted the gravest of circumstances. Her wrists ached and stung as though she was bound not by cord, but thorny vines. She could feel how wet she had become when she managed to bring her legs together close enough to close herself off from the world. This, though, took considerable effort. The spacer bar between her ankles was doing its job well, and was nearly as unforgiving as the man who had put it there. The thought of him sent her toes flexing, her chest rising and falling in measured breaths. It wouldn't have been so bad had she not also shuddered. She somehow always forgot that those sorts of movements only enraged the clips used to keep her tits as sensitive as he liked them when he chose to play with her.
Her eyes searched through the darkness, looking hopelessly for some measure of time since he had locked her in place. She wondered if it had been minutes, or an hour. The way her mind raced once her body was trapped in shackles, it could be anywhere in between. The question was obsolete. She jumped at the sound of the loud squeal let out by the hinges on the door, almost as if he had done to them what he would do to her. When the lights hit her face, she cringed and pulled back as best she could, but found herself still somewhat more distracted by the ache from her tits and the sting in her wrists as she tried to retreat.
His shadow fell across her body, though that would certainly not be the last thing to do so. He quickly grabbed at her face, holding her cheeks and jaw tightly as he pinched shut her nose, sliding his palm over her mouth. She knew full well that he would let her breathe again, but even without that uncertainty, she knew what else this meant. The floodlight illuminating her body against the brick behind her began to fade as her lungs burned in protest. Just as she was sure he would change his mind this time and just be done with her, he released her face, letting her gasp for breath. The breathing quickly became groans of discomfort, and at her unexcused outburst, she felt his hand leave its mark across her face.
"You told me you liked this. Now here you are bitching about it. Would you rather I stop? I can turn off the light and leave you down here for the night."
Her eyes were still closed against the burn from his hand and the floodlights, but even with her head hanging low, she managed to indicate a 'no.'
There was rustling, and she heard a few drawers slide open and closed, then the jingle of keys and the squeak of more unmaintained hinges. When she chanced her eyes to the light, she saw two bodies standing in front of her. One body was his, a well-practiced silhouette backlit by twin fluorescents. The second body had her arms drawn tightly behind her back, her head facing up and body craning to accommodate the uncomfortable posture.
"You know your friend Miriam, right? It was your idea to bring her along this time." She watched as he groped her friends tits, heard Miriam moan in protest. "Alright then, girl. How did you like my cage?"
Miriam was slow to respond, and the time bought her what sounded like a solid slap against one of her tits. It was seconds later that she responded "It was... c-cold. It's cold down here."
She could feel herself cringe, her practice allowing her to empathize perfectly with what would happen next. The sound of more skin striking skin echoed off the unlit brick to either side of them.
"Oww! God dammit, I answered your question!"
There were two more sharp raps - likely one against each of her tits in turn. Then he nearly growled "What did you think of my cage."
'Tell him you liked it, idiot!' The thought surged through her brain on a useless loop. 'We went over this beforehand! Just agree and go with it.' Then the thought struck her that if Miriam failed to answer correctly, he would let her friend go, and instead project his frustration onto her. That thought terrified her as much as it made her quiver in expectant delight. He had grown a bit tepid lately, and he wasn't hitting as hard or fucking as long as he had when they were younger. Even a couple years of repetitive behavior can put a damper on a man's swing. She would like to see what he was capable of when he was this frustrated.
Miriam groaned "It was cold, it was hard. It was miserable! Is that what you want? Ow god, my tits... what, are you gonna stick me back in there?"
His voice sounded calm and composed. "No, of course not. Clearly you didn't like it enough to make it worth sticking you back in there. Instead, I'm doing this." He yanked her arms and dragged her over so she was in the middle of the room. With her hands still bound behind her back, he doubled her over and lifted her arms in the air, attaching them to a retracting cord on the ceiling - one of many she had gifted him as an anniversary present. Now seeing them in use on her friend, she was doubly glad she had had them installed. It seemed she had a front row seat to watching her man in action. Of course... coffee would be awkward the next time she and Miriam got together. That thought was fleeting, though, as she saw him cross the room with a large conic device in hand.
