I got used to the chastity device surprisingly fast. It was easy to keep clean, and it fit so snug that sometimes I even forgot it was there.
But that's only a half truth.
See, it was exam time: the last exams of the year -- and for Katya it was even more than that, since she was in the last year of her degree. I knew that she had big plans of opening her own business for nutrition and personal training, and these exams were very important for her. Which means she was studying, hard. Which means she wasn't leaving her house or seeing anyone, including me. For three long weeks.
So even though I 'got used' to the metal cage she'd put me in. The truth is I never forgot it was there, not even for one single second. In fact by the end of that third week, it was all I could think about.
Thankfully, the end was in sight: Katya had given me her solemn word that I could come over as soon as she got home from her final exam on Friday. I finished mine the day before, and you'd better believe I was there barely ten seconds after she'd arrived. She still had her bag around one shoulder when she pulled open the door.
'Oh, you're here already,' she said, but her smile betrayed the truth: she knew exactly what she had done to me. How crazy I had become. After a torturous pause, she gestured for me to come in.
The moment I was past the threshold, she curled one hand around the back of my neck and pulled me in for a kiss. It was as though all my senses were heightened. Her slightest touch ran through my whole body; I could smell every inch of her in high definition.
'Easy, Romeo,' she said, pulling away. For the first time, I noticed that she had dressed up, makeup, earrings, even a sleek red dress. She could have been a supermodel. It was too much.
'It's just... been so long,' I said.
Tilting her head to the side in mock sympathy, she said 'Aw, that's so sweet. You missed me, huh?'
'I want you so bad,' I said, moving forward again. I had been reduced to my lizard brain. I wanted her, and anything else was irrelevant to me. But she put a hand on my chest, holding me back.
'No.' She said.
'No?'
'You don't want me.' She said, her smile fading. 'You want something else -- a key. Isn't that right?'
Before I could reply, she went on. 'But you don't even want that, really. What you want is to be unlocked, and touched. And even that isn't it. What you actually want, is to come. Isn't it?' This time she was the one stepping forward, reaching down with one hand to grip the hard thing between my legs. I felt the warmth of her hand through my jeans.
'More than anything in my damn life,' I said, breathless. But again, she shook her head.
'So silly. You are such a typical man. You don't even know what you want. You think you want to come, Dale. But that still isn't the truth.'
'I dunno. It feels pretty true for me. I mean, it feels more true than anything right now. I'd probably bet my whole life savings on that being true, is what I'm saying.'
Katya frowned, clicking her tongue. 'Noooo. That's just what your stupid little guy down below is telling you.'
She gave it a squeeze for good measure and then left me there while she took her bag into her room for a minute.
I laughed, throwing my hands up. 'I'm all ears,' I said. 'Tell me what I really want.'
'I will,' she called out. 'I'll show you, actually. Tonight. After you take me to dinner. Same place as last time -- it was so nice.'
I did, of course. I took her out, and it was a nice dinner -- and we talked about exams and all kinds of things that distracted me, briefly, from my situation. When it was over and I paid the bill with my paltry barista pay check, she took me by the hand and led me out, to the admiring eyes of just about every man there.
'So I have a proposition for you,' she said, holding her door open for me. I entered, remembering for the millionth time what she'd done with me last time and praying for more.
'You stay over for the weekend,' she said. She closed the door behind her and came to stand in front of me. Again, in her heels, she was in a position to look down from me. I instinctively moved to touch her but she slapped my hand away dismissively. It was torture: to be so close like that and be denied. It was impossible to think properly -- but I'm sure that was her intention.
'Done,' I said, but she waved a finger in front of my face.
