Brightness seeped through the half-closed blinds, birds chirped sweetly into the morning air, and an incessant beeping was blaring next to Ethan's ear. Groggily, he patted his hand across the nightstand until finally he pressed the snooze button and cut it silent.
He felt tired, sweaty, and on the edge of a sexual breakdown. His orgasm never happened; he tried one last time with the wand, but all he managed to do was produce an obscene amount of pre-cum and probably bruise his cock from all the straining against the cage. In the end, he'd just toss the wand back on the floor and eventually fall asleep, though he kept waking up in the night due to his cock randomly trying to get a bone and finding the cage in the way instead.
He reached over to his phone, checking the notifications. It was the usual junk emails, app updates, and a reminder that he'd slept through, but the one thing he was looking for was a sign that Scarlett was awake, but there was nothing.
"Morning, are you OK?"
He sent it, but it didn't seem like she was online.
What he really needed, beside a damn orgasm, was a shower, so he swung his legs over the edge of the bed and sat there for a moment. He could feel just how tender and sore his whole groin was. He didn't want that heavy cage to start pulling again as he stood up, so he carefully cupped his hand under his balls with one hand, giving them some support.
Standing up slowly, he made his way to the bathroom and turned the shower on, letting the hot water run for a minute to build up some steam in the room. Once the room was warm enough, he stepped into the stream of water and just let it wash over him for a minute, processing the previous night.
He just hoped that in the cold light of a new and sober day, Scarlett would still be as understanding as she was last night.
Ping.
He quickly turned off the shower, grabbed a towel on the way out, and raced back into the bedroom, hoping that it was her reply.
"I've been better,"
she said bluntly, and he could feel tension in his palms as they started to go that sweaty, anxious way when he was nervous. He hoped everything was OK between them, and the three little dots in the bottom corner would give his answer soon enough.
"We didn't go to sleep until 4 am and I'm absolutely shattered and a bit hungover,"
she continued, easing his mind somewhat.
"you OK?"
"Yeah, I'm good, a bit tired, but hopefully I can help you feel better when you're home,"
he replied, trying to hint the conversation in a certain direction.
"Oh, I can think of lots of things you can do to make me feel much better,"
she texted back.
"I've had all night to think about that."
He smiled to himself as he read the message. The conversation was definitely going the way he'd hoped it would, but he was going to have a little fun as well.
"Well, hopefully I can, but I am kind of tired as well, so I was just going to take it easy today,"
he replied, wondering how she would react to this.
"Someone's feeling like a brave boy, aren't they?"
she replied.
"You forgetting that I have this?"
Clicking on the picture that she'd sent over, he was greeted with the sight of her beautiful exposed breasts. Her arm was pushing them upwards from underneath, both nipples erect, a telltale sign that she was aroused. It was then that he noticed, dangling right in the middle of her chest, the key, held there with a thin metal chain.
"You like my new necklace?"
she asked.
"I think it really suits me."
He could feel his erection stir, and the cage slowly started to pull away from his body. This morning, however, it was not the fun, teasing feeling that he had last night but a much more intense, painful feeling. His whole groin was starting to ache, and he quickly closed his eyes, trying to focus on anything but his natural urges.
"Fuck, stop!" he muttered to himself as he reached his hand down and started to physically push the cage back towards his body. The pain started to relieve as he kept pressing inward until, finally, the urge subsided and his cock stopped trying to harden. He really needed that key; he was starting to worry he might cause himself an injury.
He'd been so preoccupied that he hadn't even noticed the message she'd sent.
"I'll be back in a couple of hours. I suggest that you have the house tidied up; otherwise, there might just be some consequences."
His imagination started to run wild again, an excitement building in the pit of his stomach, though he was trying his hardest to stop any reactions down there. He couldn't wait to see her and was a little intrigued by what she meant by 'consequences'.
"Is that a promise?"
He replied, he'd always enjoyed playfully pushing back against Scarlett, but this felt even more exciting.
"Oh, you best believe it is,"
