We checked into the hotel later that afternoon, and after a quick stop to leave the baggage, I followed Dawn to the exposition floor, which is in another wing of the venue.
I was amazed, it was a flurry of activities, with a lot of dealers unpacking their stuff in the booths and a lot of workers finishing installations and details on the exhibition floor.
She told me Markus had reserved one of the most coveted places, in a central aisle, with a lot of walking by. As we got there we were met with a mountain of boxes, placed in the center of the place, while a couple of venue workers were busy installing glass cabinets on the side. On the far side of the booth, they were building a sort of enclosed room, a sort of office, where things could be stored.
"Let's get going." Dawn said, sporting a pair of pliers to open the seals.
As we got through the boxes, I could see that there were a lot of metal pieces, most of which I could not understand the function. Then there were marketing things, posters, leaflets and so on.
All the promotion material went into the room, while I got the task of fixing the posters to the walls; finally we got to the business of organizing the displays, and then it got really interesting, at least from my point of view.
The first thing that came out from the boxes was Dawn's original harness, that was mounted on a plastic mannequin.
"Markus did it with my measures." She told me with a laugh. Even if she was enthusiastic about the whole thing I could spy that she was cringing sometimes, especially when she sort of forgot what she was wearing, and made strange movements against the harness she was restrained in.
Since I got the chance to see the other the night before, I could see that the finishing was very different. Not crude, mind me, but it was done in a more practical way, without all the jewels and gold of the other one.
We placed it in the most prominent place, with a written explanation and the request to ask for more info at stand's personnel. That would be us, I would imagine.
It was really a discovery for me, I was handed some elaborate handcuffs, other chastity belt models, a pair of steel heeled-shoes. The more I saw, the more I was amazed at the beauty of Markus' workmanship.
By dinner time, we had more or less prepared the booth, there were a lot of devices that I still could not understand, but I was tired from the night before, and from the trip and also I was starving, so we went to the hotel restaurant.
"Ok, so tomorrow you are going to man the shop?"
Well, I sort of expected that but hearing it aloud was another thing.
"Er... Yes."
"Having second thoughts, are you?" Dawn seemed upbeat after dinner, and she laughed at my hesitation.
"No, I was just thinking that I know nothing of these fairs, of these things..."
"Do not worry... I'll guide you."
This time it was my turn to laugh.
"Excuse me, lady, but in your current predicament, how should I feel safe?"
"Good point... I promise I will do better." Now we laughed together.
We returned to our room and this time Dawn was obviously more at ease with me, because she shed the dress she had worn for the whole day and went around the room with only the restraint on. While she was getting things out of her luggage, I must admit that I had a very long look at the chastity armor locked on her.
It was an amazing tight fit for her body, all the bars that enclosed her torso were just her right measure, enclosing but not pushing. She seemed to be able to move with ease, notwithstanding the amount of metal that was burdening her, and she did not seem to be embarrassed by my perusing.
I got a clear view of the panties section of the whole contraption. It was wonderful, it was like some of those bikini bottoms where the central part, to cover the nether regions, is large enough, but the rest is flimsy and nearly non existent.
There was a cover on her pussy, shaped like her curves, from which some flat bars protruded to her side and upward to meet the waist bar, parallel to another bar further up, tight enough to create a beautiful hourglass shape. Apparently, on the center of this second bar, there is the lock, a metal circle where the magnet should be placed to open the whole thing.
At least, so I understood from her explanation.
Then I had a look at her ass and the result was more spectacular. The cover was following her perfect butt, shaped to go deep into her crack. It was a marvelous device.
Finally I saw the breasts, the domes covering which were again a copy of the tits hidden underneath, areolas included.
And the details, the jewels, the golden fixtures were absolutely beautiful.
I must have had a strange face, because she was looking at me.
"Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to take a shower. But you can come with me, if you prefer."
I immediately got red in the face.
"Oh my... I'm so sorry... Sorry."
"Don't be." And with that she went into the bathroom, and in a couple of minutes I could hear the sound of water.
Later, as she was drying her hair, it was my turn to shower. Under the water spray, my mind wandered about the turn the whole experience was taking. I was sharing my car and all of a sudden, I got a job in a fetish convention. What a strange turn of events. And then I realized that the thing Dawn was forced to wear had a purpose: it was specifically designed to be enforced on a woman to seize her chastity. It's certainly embellished by diamonds and gold, but that is the purpose. And even if the woman is willing, or so Dawn reported, it is still something very imposing and troubling.
Yet again, it is strangely arousing not to be able to access some parts of your own body, especially the centers of libido and sexual urges.
As when I was staring at Dawn's device, I found myself more and more curious about it. And also there was some sort of tingling in my pussy, just thinking of it.
I was not into bondage or fetish in any way, but to brush with such interest was unequivocally waking up something in my mind.
Mechanically, I finished my shower and when I came into the room, Dawn was rummaging in her luggage.
"Well, let's set you up for tomorrow, shall we? Try it on."
