"Kate?"
Kate turned and smiled at the tall, well-dressed man standing by her alfresco café table. Dark features and wearing a white shirt, tan chinos, and brown leather shoes he was older than her but exactly her type.
"Mistress Kate?" the man asked again.
She froze, a shiver of panic in her dark eyes as they flashed around to see if anyone else had heard.
"You are even nicer than your photos," he smiled.
Kate could feel her face heating up and she knew she would be blushing. The man had slipped discreetly on to the seat opposite her and was leaning into whisper.
"I'm sorry to track you down, but I'm stuck. I did pay the money, but you didn't let me go."
Kate stared at him, her hands on her hot cheeks to steady her dizzy head. During a moment of finance desperation, she had advertised herself for remote chastity keyholding. It sounded easy, she would download the app and men would pay her to take control of their electronic, remote locking chastity cage. But that had been months ago and only one man had paid her for the service. Oh, fuck.
The man was now ordering two cognacs from the smiling waitress, giving Kate a few seconds to compose herself, tidy her hair and straighten the hem on her short dress
"Were you Kai?" she asked nervously.
"Yes, and I still am," he smiled holding out a hand, "Nice to meet you, Kate."
"You're not still...?" Kate's brown eyes blinked as she slowly realised the possible implications of her failed keyholding escapade.
"Yes, I am."
"Why didn't you take it off?" she asked in an accusative tone.
"The lock," the man tapped his crotch, "will only obey 'Mistress Kate'."
"Oh..."
The cognacs arrived at an opportune moment and they both finished their glasses as Kai ordered two more. He then opened the app on his phone and showed her the ominous warnings about the cage being 'deadlocked' by 'Mistress Kate'. There was even a picture of Kate's legs in the same short red dress that she was wearing right then.
"You found me by my dress?" she laughed nervously.
"It helped."
Kate could be scatty, but it was starting to come back. She had accidentally sat on her phone and broken the screen. She had bought a new one, but had never reloaded the keyholding app.
"I'm sorry, I've got a new phone," Kate sighed, "I can't help you." She made a small gesture with her hand as if shooing him away.
"Kate, I've got a Prince Albert piercing," Kai whispered, "I really am stuck in this."
Kate was momentarily lost in his aftershave, "Isn't that what you wanted?"
"Yes, but it's been three months and without your help, well I'm fucked."
"Or not," Kate smiled, distracted by his beautiful eyes that seemed to hang on her every word. Her legs were tingling, and she rubbed them together to disperse her arousal.
"Please, I'll pay you anything," he begged.
This was surreal. A man with gorgeously attentive eyes was offering her money. She drank her second cognac and leaned forward with her hand on her chin and blinked inquisitively.
"Didn't you have a failsafe back up?" she whispered, "You should have done. You didn't even know me."
"I know," he sighed, "I trusted the photos."
"Of my cleavage and my legs?" Kate exclaimed, "My thighs can't help you now."
Kai closed his eyes, let out a trembling breath and flinched as the pressure built in his cage. Chastity with an unknown keyholder could be wildly erotic. With nothing but a few obscured photos to obsess over, the keyholder took on almost mystical qualities, the perfect woman with ultimate control. Her body became the ultimate prize and even the slightest glimpse of her legs in a photo was something to dream about.
"I'm wearing the same lingerie as in the photo," Kate teased.
"White silk... in photo number five," he mouthed.
"What the..." Kate was speechless. The cognacs weren't coming fast enough.
"I'm sorry, I've had little else to give me pleasure."
Kate reached for her bag and retrieved her new phone with a freshly cracked screen. She loaded the app and logged back in. "Three months, one week, five days," she smiled as she placed it on the table, "Wow!"
"Please Kate, I need to be let out, I'm so pent up."
"How long is it?" Kate asked.
"Three months..."
"No," there was now a playfulness in Kate's eyes, "How long is 'it'?"
Kai muttered under his breath, his keyholder's smile was causing mayhem in his pants. "Only about an inch."
"Oh, fuck!" she blurted.
Kate was starting to like his gravelly voice, made even better with his breathy desperation. He was an idiot to get himself in this predicament and part of her saw no reason to help him out.
