Clocks' balls hurt; stretched to the back of the cage, pinned between rope and the hard metal of chastity. Clocks' ass hurts; still slightly convulsing from the shocks of the cattle prod. Clocks' legs hurt; bound calf to thigh and supporting their rear while on all fours, only bearable because of the knee pads Mistress was kind enough to give them. Clocks' face hurts; radiating red heat from the substantial slapping, the heat of their cheek making a mini stew with the traces of pastry, coffee, spit, piss, and cum trapped inside this hood.
It would be easy to give up. Clock just needs to say "Red." and they'll be set free from their cage. The relief would be glorious, but when Mistress Demi begins moaning from her bed and the familiar scent of womanly pleasure fills the room, it makes it all worthwhile for Clock. Every moan, every whimper, every creak of her bed, every wet squelch as her fingers move in and out of her juicy pussy. Heaven. Clock will persevere for Mistress.
"Auuuhhhhmmmmmm!"
The sound of skin contorting on silk sheets, followed by deep, satisfied, euphoric breathing. Clock oozes precum in synchronicity with Mistress Demis' orgasm.
The room is silent for a few minutes, though it seems like the blink of an eye for Mistress as she savours her wave of pleasure, and it seems like eternity for Clock in their predicament bondage.
After aeons, footsteps approach Clocks' cage. The rope slacks around Clocks' collar. The rope slacks around Clocks' cock. Sweet relief! The click of a lock and the swing of hinges as the cage door opens. Gentle tension on Clocks' leash as Mistress guides them out backwards, her boots keeping them aligned with caresses, contrasting the kicks and cattle prod that coaxed Clock into the cage. Gentle hands remove Clocks' puppy hood, and Mistress Demi gently caresses Clocks' sweaty cheeks before holding their head. As Clocks' eyes adjust to the light, Mistress' kind, smiling, beautiful face stares down at them.
"Thank you Clock. That was a really tough first parcel and you handled it so well. I am so proud of you and you should be proud of yourself and what you're capable of."
Mistress Demi affectionately kisses Clocks' forehead, her purple lipstick leaves a cute little mark as Clocks' blushing face warms Mistress Demis' palms.
"I think you've well and truly earned some much needed relief and care. Let's get you all the way out of that costume, my beloved Clock."
Mistress gets a wet washcloth from the bathroom to cool and clean Clocks' dazed face, granting them a bit of dignity, though she leaves a trace of the lipstick mark on Clocks' forehead. She pours Clocks' hot chocolate from Clocks' bowl into a mug and puts it in the microwave. She covers Clock in a blanket. She removes the mittens and massages Clocks' sweaty hands to restore some circulation. She unravels the knots binding Clocks' legs, the rope slides off easily, and she massages and stretches Clocks' smooth legs. She gets Clocks' hot chocolate out of the microwave, pops in a couple marshmallows, and places it into Clocks' liberated hands, pressing them around the mug to make sure they have a good grip. Mistress gently but firmly places her hand on Clocks' lower back.
"Hey sweetie, I'm just going to need you to lean forward a bit so I can take out the plug tail."
Clock leans forward. Pop! The tail is removed and Clocks' ring flickers as it readjusts itself to a normal dilation. Mistress Demi tilts Clock back to a sitting position and wraps her arms around her beloved in a bear hug.
Mistress cradles and rocks their Clock for 20 minutes, rubbing their shoulders and kissing their cheeks as Clock cosily sips their hot chocolate. Eventually Clock returns to their normal self and speaks up.
"Thank you Mistress Demi, that was amazing!"
"Oh you're very welcome my pet. I loved it as well. How are you feeling? How did you find it all?"
"I'm feeling a bit sore but also really satisfied and loved. The scene was everything I dreamed it would be! It was a bit tough to handle but the thought of pleasing you helped me get through it!"
Clock nuzzles their head into Mistress' Demis' bosom.
"That's great! I know you know I love the feeling of control, and I know you'd relinquish everything to me if I asked, and I feel privileged to have someone as devoted as you in my life. Though I do want you to know that, even though we both pretend it's not the case, your health and wellbeing is more important than my desire for control, no matter how strong it may be. I would feel terrible if I found out you didn't use your safe words and truly hurt you. How close were you to using Red?"
Clock thinks for a second.
"In hindsight I was probably close to Red with the cattle prod."
"In that case that level of intensity is where we'll draw the line for now, and we'll limit how long we spend at that point to about 5 minutes at a time. If you ever want to explore beyond that point, you'll need to ask me to do so, and if that day comes I'll be trusting you to use Red when you need it. I'm not suggesting that I want to push beyond that point; and don't think that you need to push yourself any further than you have today to please me. You're already enough."
Mistress Demi leans down and plants another kiss on Clocks' forehead. Clock lets out what can only be described as a purr as the two continue to cuddle for some time.

After recovering and Clock tidying up, Mistress Demi decides the two of them will spend the afternoon around the resort pool. Mistress takes the opportunity to show off her hard earned physique with a silky purple two piece swimsuit, complete with a fashionable broad brimmed hat tilted ever so slightly sideways atop her fiery auburn hair, pointed sunglasses on the tip of her nose so her emerald green eyes can stare piercingly over the lenses at her pet, and Greek style sandals. Clock is permitted to go barefoot and wear purple Speedos over their chastity belt, revealing Clocks' tattoo to the world.
Between fetching Mistress extravagant fruity cocktails from the bar, Clock is rewarded with the honour of applying sunscreen to Mistress, who "asks" Clock to take their time applying their sunscreen. The couple ooze eroticism to surrounding pool goers as Clock sensually moves their hands over Mistress Demis' toned body.
Mistress makes Clock apply their own sunscreen as she hand feeds Clock some of the fruit from the cocktails she doesn't want, before roughing Clock around a little to apply it to the areas Clock can't reach themselves. As she gets to Clocks' shoulder, she begins tracing her finger along Clocks' arm.
"So for the next part of MY tattoo, I'm thinking I want a half dog half human creature here, and there's an absolutely stunning purple lightning deity chasing them so they're hiding inside a storm drain, but over here there's an asparagus, a coffee bean, and an eggplant bathing in a stream, which is running this way into the drain and filling it with filthy water as the doglike creature pushes their head up against the grate desperately trying to breathe. What do you think," she leans into Clocks' ear and whispers, "pet?".
Clock grumbles an approving "Woof!" under their breath. The couple cheekily chuckles to themselves, the surrounding passers by none the wiser.
As the sun begins to set, Mistress Demi sends Clock to fetch a sarong for the both of them from their bungalow, and pulls Clock along by the hand to the resort restaurant. Mistress vents about work to decompress, and Clock shares their experience in the cooking, masseuse, and exercise classes Mistress had them sign up for. The cooking class in particular has Mistress salivating at what future meals Clock will be cooking for her in the future, before their decadent meals arrive. A musician with a ukulele plays for the patrons. It's a wonderful dinner.

As soon as they walk back into their bungalow, Mistress Demi presses Clock into the wall with her body and teases Clocks' chest with her finger.
"I know we've had a big day, but how do you feel about opening another parcel tonight?"
"I would like that Mistress Demi."
"Great! Since today was a bit tough I'll let you in on a secret; the smaller package is probably the least intense if you want something a bit easier. Well actually, if I wanted to I could make the small package make you feel like you're in the fiery depths of hell, but I'm not *that* mean!"
Mistress Demi leans even more into Clocks' not so personal space. She spreads her tongue as wide as she can and drags it up Clocks' face, before gingerly biting Clocks' ear and depositing a little spit into the bank of Clocks' ear canal. Clocks' interest is compounded as Mistress rips off Clocks' sarong and underwear before getting a solid grip of their chastity belt and pulls them to the suitcase of sin.
Clock wastes no time in picking up the small parcel, which rattles from the movement. It's lightweight with a woody aroma. As Clock tears it open with more enthusiasm than a child with a Christmas present, the contents spill out onto Clocks' former bed.
A carton of low strength Virginia Slims cigarettes. A lighter. An adjustable spider gag. A matching pair of elbow length leather gloves to go with Mistress Demis' black and purple corset and boots.
"A knight needs a squire. Don my armour."
Clock slowly removes Mistress Demis' bathing suit. There's a strange feeling for both of them in the rare moment that Mistress' Athenian body stands naked, while Clock is technically wearing more with chastity and a choker. They both smirk.
"Enjoy the view while it lasts, pet; it won't be long before we restore the natural order of things." Mistress snaps her fingers. "Gloves first."
Mistress holds out her hands as Clock pulls the gloves up Mistress' toned arms, her ivory skin slowly encompassed in black leather. Clock threads the gloves with care and dedication.
