I could barely focus on work all week. As the days went by I became increasingly desperate - both to hear from Amber as well as to have this cage taken off. The cage itself was a total mindfuck - I couldn't stimulate myself at all, much less have an orgasm, which made me hornier and more desperate each day that went by. The hornier I got the more I thought of Amber, who held the key to this device restricting me, and that got me even more worked up. I felt completely owned and controlled by my neighbor, who didn't even reply to the half dozen or so texts I sent throughout the week, trying to be casual but with gradually growing desperation.
-Hi Amber! Just thought I'd say hi and hope you're having a good Monday!-
-Hi Amber! Work was brutal today lol - making it up to myself by ordering chinese for dinner. let me know if you want me to bring some over!-
-Hey! Just checking in - hope you're doing great!-
-Hi...I was wondering if you thought it was long enough yet - you know, with the cage?-
-I think Dr. Latham said a few days right? It's Thursday so that's 4 days, in case you forgot, hope you're well!-
-I don't want to pester you - it's Friday - don't know if you have weekend plans? I'm free all weekend if you want to hang out, and again hoping I can get that key?-
She read every text almost immediately but left me on "read" all week. It was driving me crazy - rationally I was angry that she didn't take 5 seconds to fire off a text, even if it was to say "I'm busy - TTYL" or something. But a part of me found the whole situation hot in an almost indescribably dark way. I felt like I was waiting on her all week - all it would take was a simple text and I'd gladly drop everything and rush to her- but it was simply more convenient for her to not bother to reply. I felt simultaneously crushed and elated at this revelation - that she put her convenience far above mine and didn't really take my emotions into account. I had no idea why this made my penis try to swell in it's tiny confinement.
I had never gone more than a couple of days without masturbating since eighth grade and by the end of the week I was in a state of sexual frustration and awareness I've never experienced before. I started eyeing almost every woman I'd see - their legs and breasts seemed to almost jump out at me and tease me just by their very existence. I'd find my heart would start racing if I saw a pretty woman in a short skirt or a particularly low-cut top. I wondered if Amber knew the cage would have this effect on me. Part of me wondered if Amber really cared. She was friendly and really nice but there seemed to be a part of her personality that was reflective of her poker face - logical and machine-like. The way that she chose her show to watch without consulting me, for example.
-Hey Chris, I'm free tonight. Want to pick up dinner and some wine and we can hang out and watch some TV at my place?-
Came the unexpected text late Friday afternoon. No explanation of why she didn't text earlier, or even acknowledgement of my questions. Nevertheless, I was over the moon. Punching the air, I hurried to finish up my work for the week as I fired off a reply.
-You got it! See you around 7?-
-yep!-
I jumped in the shower to get cleaned up. I had done some research on keeping hygienic with the chastity cage. There was a surprising amount of information available on this. I was amazed to see that male chastity didn't seem like such a niche thing - there were literally dozens of companies competing to sell these things! It made me feel a bit better that I wasn't the only man in the world with a cage locked around his dick, and also slightly aroused to think that other women out there were controlling men in this fashion.
I had ordered some long sponges on sticks - essentially q-tips but with sponges - that I was able to soap up and slid down the tube to clean everything up. The first day I got them I tried to slide out of the tube when I was lubricated like that but I still just couldn't get enough leverage to do it. I followed that up with a squirt bottle filled with water to flush everything out. I had found that when I had to pee - which meant sitting down from now on - my urethra lined up really well with the small hole at the end of the tube and there weren't any issues, but I still scrubbed myself twice a day to make sure I was clean. I followed that up with a few minutes with a hair dryer to keep everything dry. It added some time to my daily shower routine but the last thing I wanted was to be smelly down there when Amber chose to unlock me!
I put on some nice clothes and added a touch of cologne and then drove to my favorite Thai place to pick up some food, stopping at a wine store to get a nice bottle of white wine. I knocked on Amber's door just a minute or so before 7.
"Hi Chris! Oh you brought Thai? My favorite!" She helped me carry some of the cartons to the coffee table and went to the kitchen for a corkscrew. I stared at her as she walked away - she was in form fitting blue jeans with a crop top t shirt that revealed her small waist and smooth belly. I felt my caged penis stir with the motion of her ass as she walked away from me, and quickly readjusted myself slightly in my pants.
We made idle chit chat as we ate - I asked about her week and she asked about mine. It turns out she worked from home most of the time doing some contract work for a law firm in town - she was a paralegal. She liked the work and also the flexibility with the hours. She asked about my job and I talked about my company and how it was rough to start with but now it's running quite smoothly. The subject of the cage and the key was forefront in my mind but I couldn't figure out a way to bring it up. We also polished off the bottle of wine quite quickly and she brought another from the fridge. We were both feeling a little tipsy when we finished eating.
Amber stretched and put her feet into my lap as she did last weekend. Automatically, I started rubbing them. She gave me a smile and reached for the remote.
"Mind if we find something to watch?" She asked, turning on the TV.
"No...of course! That'd be fun!"
I watched as she navigated to the same period drama she had on last weekend. I noticed that she was several seasons later in the show. For some reason my heart raced with the realization that she had watched hours of TV and hadn't bothered to return my texts...why on earth did I find that exciting?
I shifted uncomfortably, finding my penis was trying to swell again at the thought.
The show ran just under an hour, with me massaging her feet the entire time, switching from foot to foot. I was sort of following the show but I had no idea who any of the characters were or even what the basic plot was. My mind was racing trying to figure out how to bring up what I wanted to talk about.
Finally the show ended. Amber sighed and patted my shoulder.
"You give really great foot rubs Chris - that felt amazing!" She took one more sip from her wine glass, finishing off the second bottle. I screwed up my courage.
"Thanks, listen, Amber - there's something I wanted to talk to you about. Something kind of weird but also serious."
She turned to face me, curiosity evident in her beautiful face.
"You know this game we've done a bit...you know where I help you out and leave you some money..." She nodded.
"Yeah! I know, it's weird right?" she laughed and tossed her head, bringing waves of her brown hair cascading down her right shoulder.
"I didn't think you were serious at first, and then you left so much money...wow! It's strange but I thought you were being really sweet."
I blushed at the mention of the money.
"Yes, I know - it's weird" I laughed a bit. "You know I didn't know if you were serious, and then I didn't know if I was going to do it, but..."
I hesitated, unsure how to say this. I didn't want to say I got a sexual thrill from it - I was reasonably sure she'd toss me out of her house and call me a perv.
Amber put her hand on my shoulder and looked into my eyes.
"It's ok, Chris - you can tell me what you're thinking - we're friends!"
"Well, when I left you the money...I liked it. I liked it quite a lot actually." I was looking down at my lap and blushing. I could hardly believe I was saying these things - but at the same time I felt a tingle of excitement to have my private thoughts out in the open after stewing in them all week.
She frowned a little and looked questioningly at me.
"You liked it? Liked it how?"
I could feel my face turn even redder.
"Um, I got...excited."
Amber raised one eyebrow in question but I could see her lips fighting a smile.
"Is that so? From paying me? Tell me everything."
She settled back against the arm of the couch and put her feet back in my lap. I started massaging one of them as I spoke.
"Well at first I didn't realize it - I mean, it was a weird game. But something about doing things for you - all the yard work, cleaning, dinner - and then somehow I paid you to do it, it just seemed so...unfair. I mean, not in a bad way. I mean, like...I liked that it was unfair for me."
Amber thought this over, nodding.
"I see. So you would like it if I were unfair to you more."
"Yesss..." I breathed, my cock suddenly aching in its cage. My skin was tingling with her simple statement. The truth was out now, for better or worse.
She nodded again. "So you'd like it if I were to ask you for more money." I squirmed a bit, trying to relieve the pressure in my crotch. The steel tube felt like a vice crushing me.
She corrected herself. "No, not ask...take. You'd like it if I were to take more money from you."
I gasped involuntarily. She smirked a bit at my reaction.
"And you want me to make you do things for me."
"Yess!" I almost shouted. I was so turned on at the moment I thought I was going to jump out of my skin. Every single word she said struck me to my core and made mini electric pulses race through my body, centered on my neglected cock.
"And you want it to be unfair. Difficult for you. Hard. And you want me to give you nothing in return. Otherwise it wouldn't be unfair, right? You'd be making an even trade. And that's not what you want, is it Chris?" She moved her right foot slightly so the heel was pressing into my crotch and started moving it in slow circles.
