It wasn't under the table. It wasn't under the couch.
Evan searched frantically through the junk drawer, unsure if the missing piece he was so desperately seeking had somehow magically materialized in the last stop of all odds and ends, but he had no luck there.
He honestly didn't need this missing piece in order for the device to work. The ones he already had waiting on the table were perfectly good, all correct and able to adequately restrict him in all the ways she wanted. It was honestly excessive, the sheer amount of parts this chastity device came with.
As he shuffled towards the living room to look through the couch again, he caught a glimpse of the time out of the corner of his eye. She would be here any minute! He began to panic strip, almost falling in the hallway of his apartment as he stepped out of his pants. Rule 6, "you will be naked and waiting for me at the door when I arrive."
The young man could only cross his fingers as he heard the familiar click of her heeled boots walking up the 2 flights of stairs to his apartment. Hurriedly shoving his recently disrobed clothes into the hall closet, he assumed his submissive pose (arms behind his back, head down) at the door in the nick of time.
She opened the door with her key (Rule 17, a later addition: "your home is mine to enter as I please") and strode in with her typical confidence. The cold outside air brought a shiver over Evan's naked form, and as usual, she left the door open exposing him to the hallway just a tad longer than she needed to.
"Good evening, Mistress Becca, thank you for gracing me with a visit tonight." Evan intoned, another ritual checked off the list. He took her coat as she sighed in relief, enjoying the warmth of prewar steam heat.
"Good evening to you, Evan. Cold out there today." That was the extent of the small talk she felt obligated to engage in. "Did the toy I ordered arrive?"
"It did, Mistress, I.. have it out in the living room like you said." he responded, barely able to keep the trepidation from overtaking his voice. He swallowed hard and convinced himself he'd pulled it off.
He had not, though. She had been with him long enough to pick up on that sort of thing, and raised an eyebrow wondering what sort of mistake he'd managed to make this time. She hung her own scarf, and in her head the plan from tonight was already shifting and changing. But theirs was a dynamic built on structure and routine, so first things first.
They walked into the living room, a naked Evan following behind. There was a tall backed and armless chair in the center of the room, and a coffee table over which the myriad parts to a chastity device were displayed. One singular cone for his cock, but many sizes of ring, spacer, locking device, and so forth. A surprisingly complicated process for such a simple goal. Why, there were so many- ah. She noticed what had her errant submissive so squirrely, and justifiably so. But she kept that knowledge to herself, sitting in the chair so they could follow through to the next item on their usual agenda.
A rueful Evan stood attentively in front of her, presenting freshly groomed nether regions to the woman who owned them. (Rule 7, "You will maintain my property clean shaven at all times.") She took the rapidly hardening cock in her hands, pulling it up and to each side, searching for any sign of a lazy shave job. There were none.
