With steady confidence, Nathan said, "There's something I want to try with you before I lock you up again. It'll pair well with your intense sexual appetite. Do you want to try edging?"
Water dripped off Isabelle's naked body. She stood there, frozen more by his words than by the cold shower she just took. She broke into a giggle, startling both of them. "Sure! Let's try it," she found herself saying. "Can I dry off first?" It was strange to see her boy exercising so much authority. She had caught herself fantasizing about him over the past week. He seemed to have read her mind, settling into the role of dominant keyholder that she was imagining.
"So, you already know what it is. Good," he said. Isabelle patted herself dry before being marched to her bedroom. Nathan pulled her computer chair to the middle of the room. "Lay down on your bed. Close your eyes and focus on slowly reaching your first edge," he ordered.
Isabelle did as she was told, knowing that Nathan would have a clear view between her legs. Her right hand found her inner thigh, and her left trailed up to cup her breast. Her chilled skin was unresponsive to her touch. She coaxed sensitivity out with light, deliberate touches.
After a while, her left hand moved to grip the sheets next to her. Two fingers on her right hand flanked her swollen clit. Edging wasn't new to her. Being denied afterward was, but not the act itself. The key was focusing on a single area and not getting greedy. 'Just two fingers. Stop before you get too close,' she told herself.
Normally, she liked to combine different stimuli. But there was a unique pleasure in putting all her attention on one part of her body. She had to. Her nipples and her g-spot called for attention. Those distractions let her know she was getting closer. Responding to her intense focus, Isabelle's clit became a world of sensation all on its own. A small spark of feeling--the signal she was waiting for--raced toward her brain.
She pulled her hand away immediately and tried to breathe slowly. "Good job," a voice said. Her eyes shot open, looking past her separated legs to see her boy staring at her. She completely forgot that Nathan was standing there. He smiled, "Before you start again, Mom, I have a question."
Realizing that he was waiting for her, Isabelle nodded. Nathan asked plainly, "Do you think chastity is helping you?"
"W-well," Isabelle stuttered. "We started chastity to keep my urges in check. It's pretty clear that hasn't been working. But, I don't want to stop. Even if I make mistakes, I want to stay in chastity. Do you want that?"
"I want you to edge again," Nathan responded. His tone was flat, betraying no response to her question.
She closed her eyes again and obeyed. Her second edge was closer than she expected. Nathan's question made her vulnerable, and his stare brought out her desire to be used. She writhed and moaned, some impulse driving her to put on a show for him. Her hand snapped away from her cunt, and she looked at Nathan again.
He met her eyes. "Just breathe for a bit. When you're ready, I want you to tell me. Are you attracted to me?"
His words stunned Isabelle into silence for a long moment, and she wished he hadn't just asked that. There seemed to be no other way out, so she chose honesty. "I want to say 'no', but it's complicated. I like that I can turn you on. And I like it when you take control. You make me feel sexy, and that's what I'm attracted to. Does that make sense?"
Nathan said, "I want you to edge again." His deep voice had the slightest tremble in it.
Obedience was daunting this time. A sense of finality hung over her, and she felt like she was about to lose something. She squeezed her thigh and sucked air through clenched teeth. "Nathan," she said. "If I said or did something wrong, please tell me. Do you think I'm a bad person? Do you not want to do chastity anymore?"
His neutrality broke into a look of concern. Nathan walked to the bed, placing a gentle hand on her ankle. "Not at all, Mom," he whispered. "I just don't like that we've been holding back our feelings. I thought I was making things easier by turning it into a game, but I guess it backfired. You probably want to stop edging, right?"
