Very special thanks as always to Scarlet aka 'fortheloveofgloves'. A conversation about her then-upcoming birthday got the wheels turning for this chapter.
***************
Show Time.
The entirety of my day was spent in desperate anticipation.
I struggled in vain to keep my mind on my work, my eyes continually darting to the clock on the wall as it slowly counted down the hours and minutes until I could go home and wait for the long-awaited video call from my beloved leather Goddess.
It was far from easy, but eventually, the end of the work day came and I practically sprinted out of the office, into my car, and towards my flat. If not for the worry that I'd get pulled over for speeding, I would have pressed on the gas and floored it the entire way home.
Once inside, I made myself a quick dinner and, upon realizing I still had time, washed up so as to appear at least somewhat presentable when the blessed hour at long last arrived. I even made sure the collar would be seen- an easy feat given I'd stripped off my clothes before taking a seat in front of my computer.
Staring at the screen, I watched the minutes tick by on the invitation, an additional level of denial above and beyond that which I'd already grown used to since I'd first fallen under Miss Vera's spell. The desperation was palpable, and I knew the moment I laid eyes on her again I'd likely melt into a puddle.
My cock had been erect much of the day, which was nothing new, although I think it too was shivering with anticipation thanks to the knowledge that we would get to see our beloved Goddess once more.
It was almost sad just how much control she had over me even when she wasn't around. After a month without any contact, all it took was a single thing to reaffirm her power.
And I loved it.
I could no longer conceive of a life without that control and, with any luck, all the photographic evidence I'd sent her concerning my punishment would make it so I wouldn't have to. At least I hope that's what this video call was about. The alternative did not fill me with hope.
After all, the possibility certainly existed that Miss Vera was calling me to end things between us, which was something I dared not consider even though I knew given what I'd done it was on the table. All I could do was wait and see what my Goddess had to say, and hope that it would be good.
Eyeing the clock, I realized there was still time, and decided to go on with my usual nightly ritual of edging to Miss Vera's content.
Opening up one of her sites, I flipped through a collection of Miss Vera dressed in angelic white leather- although the crop she held in one of her shoulder-length gloved hands added a certain level of naughtiness to the presentation, and began to stroke my already hard cock.
The familiar pleasure began to swell in my nether regions, and as with each time before I stopped before anything could occur. Blue balls didn't describe what I was dealing with on the regular, yet much as I wanted to do something about them there was nothing I could do save repeat the actions again and again.
As I reached the same point for the third time, almost as if she were aware of just how close I was- and at this point, I was beginning to think that she was, Miss Vera's invitation popped up and informed me in no uncertain terms that the time had come at last.
I immediately let go of my erection, closed the window I'd opened, and came face-to-face with the video chat link.
It was now live. And calling.
With bated breath, I clicked 'Answer'
Next thing I knew, my screen was filled with the beautiful visage of Miss Vera, just as it had been countless nights before this one. Only now, it was not some pre-recorded video or photo shoot spread. She was really and truly there. And she was smiling those luscious red lips of hers at me.
"Good evening, Edward. Have you missed me?"
The sultry expression on her face was more than enough to send jolts of pleasure straight to my cock, and I let out a moan before my mouth even realized a question had been asked.
Without needing any help from my mind, it gave the only answer it needed to. "Yes, Miss Vera."
That was putting it lightly. I hadn't simply missed her- I'd longed for her so badly since the moment I'd stepped out of her estate, Every day and night since had been spent in quiet desperation, yearning for even the smallest bit of attention from her, yet I could scarcely find the words to express such a thing to her.
Luckily for me, my eyes seemed to tell her all she needed to know, given Miss Vera's lovely lips pursed together in a wickedly sensual smile. "I thought so... You've been quite busy, haven't you? Spending so much time on all of my sites, and so much money on your Goddess."
I nodded, no longer the slightest bit surprised she was aware of the hours upon hours I'd spent logged onto her sites since we'd last seen one another.
But that wasn't all she was aware of.
"You've also been quite a good little boy... Sending me all those lovely pictures of you out and about showing off your collar... I enjoyed the video with that cute waitress you sent very much... You really must be proud to be owned by Miss Vera, aren't you Edward?"
"Yes, Miss Vera."
It was the honest-to-Goddess truth. While at first, I'd been rather worried about sporting the collar in my day-to-day life, the embarrassment I'd expected had quickly been overtaken by a strange mix of understanding and admiration. Oh sure, there'd been more than a few odd looks here and there, but for the most part, people either seemed to get a kick out of my predicament or seemed to be strangely jealous.
And I was rather proud of that.
Proud of not only knowing that I was owned by such a luxurious leather lady as Miss Vera, but that there appeared to be countless others out there who wished to be in my position, regardless of the humiliating punishments such ownership could entail when one stepped out of line.
"Good boy... Now then, I think you've earned yourself a treat."
