Gregory sat kneeling in his cage, waiting for his wife to process the sight in front of her. The dog crate was formed of black metal bars all over, maybe an inch apart, scarcely obscuring the sight of her husband kneeling inside of it. It was set up by the couch, directly facing the front door, latched closed with a hook that should be easy to flip open.
It would be, at least, if Gregory had the hands to manage it. But as part of his costume, his hands were locked into leather mittens that kept his fingers curled into paw-like fists. It was among the few things he was wearing, including some socks with a pawprint pattern on the sole, leather harnesses that framed his chest and groin, dog ears attached to the harness over his face, and the leather collar from which his nametag dangled, gleaming silver.
Oh, and the cock cage. Rachel's unknowing input.
Gregory had calmed down a little during his impromptu nap on the blanketed bottom of the crate, but now, watching Rachel stand in place and stare down at him, watching her drink in his mostly naked form, he could feel his cock begin to fill its cage.
He pawed at the door, rattling it to show that he needed to be let out. "Wanna help me out here?" he asked.
"Oh my
god
," Rachel said, a laugh leaving her as her smile widened. "Look at you in there. You're so cute."
Her heels clicked along the hardwood floor as she approached, and Gregory expected her to reach for the latch and let him out. Instead, she stayed upright, peering down at him. The cage was short enough that he'd have to roll around to peer up through the top of it comfortable, so instead he found he could only look at her legs. They were bare, freshly waxed and moisturised, her feet strapped into sandals and the hem of her dress only just hitting her knees.
"Is that a tail?" Rachel giggled, from above him. "Wag it."
Gregory felt relief course through him -- following the same paths as the arousal that was still trickling through his bloodstream. She seemed pleased, at least finding it funny even if she didn't find it hot. He obliged, wriggling his hips just enough so that the tail attached to the belt of his harness, just over his bare ass, swayed to and fro.
"Good boy," Rachel said, a laugh still in her voice, but there was warm affection, heavy praise. "Who's my good boy?"
Inside the leather mittens, Gregory's hands clenched into tighter fists, bracing against the pulse of arousal these words sent through him.
"Let me out of this cage and I'll show you," he said.
"Stop."
Rachel's voice changed -- stern, suddenly, commanding over his head. Gregory went still, tail drooping aside.
"Don't talk, don't ruin it," she said, a little gentler. At his baffled silence, she said again, soothingly, "Good boy."
Gregory watched as her feet turned away from him, walking away. He wanted to ask where she was going, wanted to ask her to come back and let him out, but he swallowed down the impulse. It seemed like she was going to take this seriously -- maybe even more than he expected, but wasn't that the ideal outcome? The only real issue he could see in the short term was that he wasn't prepared to show her how much he was responding to it.
And as for the long term, well, anything was better than the snowy tundra that was their sex life currently.
He watched her disappear into their bedroom, and subtly tried to stretch his muscles. The cage denied him the ability to stretch his legs out fully and he was starting to feel it, and there was an ache developing between his shoulders from being on all fours, but he didn't want to settle any more than he already had. While rolling out the tension in his shoulders, he heard her voice drift from the bedroom.
A conversation. She was on the phone. Gregory went still, straining to listen. Shuffling, movement, a laugh echoing out into the main living area, and then he thought he heard her say
dad
. She was on the phone with her dad? Her parents? Probably returning a birthday message, but he felt a small twinge of irritation that she hadn't done him the courtesy of letting him out first.
A minute later, Rachel emerged, her phone pressed to her ear as she continued to talk. "We didn't really have big plans," she was saying, not looking towards the cage even as Gregory stared through the bars at her. "You know Gregory -- and me. We usually just have a quiet night at home."
The muffled sound of her father's voice on the other end was too quiet for Gregory to make out, but whatever he said had Rachel laugh. "No, no, it's fine," she assured.
She turned to the cage, Gregory making eye contact briefly before she approached, and once again it became difficult to peer up at her as she towered over him. "We're both a little boring," Rachel continued. Her feet were bare, now, but she was still wearing her dress. The skirt of it flared as she turned to face away from the cage. "And Gregory gets kind of tired at night. He's been slowing down lately. And that's okay with me."
Before Gregory could even process the desire to object, he watched as she flicked her skirt aside and delicately sat down on top of the crate. The bars bowed a little beneath her weight, but otherwise stayed sturdy as she sat just above Gregory's head.
Now, he twisted around to look, and he caught his breath at the sight above him. She wasn't wearing any underwear and her dress had been flipped aside entirely. Her ass pressed against the inch-gapped bars, and the strip of her pussy neatly followed along one of those gaps, her labia lips pressed together and protruding just a little between the metal.
"I'm sure if I really wanted to do something exciting, he'd make the effort," Rachel said.
The instruction was clear, the kind of clarity that came with unstoppable impulse. Gregory positioned himself to sit on his ass, leaning back on his paws so he could tip his head back. Breathing a shivery exhale, he studied the slight slickness that was already painting his wife's neatly shaved cunt, and felt the dull ache of his cock straining against his cage, pushing it up high on his groin.
He lifted his head until his mouth brushed against Rachel's skin, and then licked a gentle stripe along her labia. She continued to chat on the phone without missing a beat, and, well, that simply read to Gregory as a challenge. Her licked again, giving a quiet sounding groan at the taste of his wife as he tongue dipped inside her folds. He'd always been a fan of this particular sex act, the effect it had on women, making them as crazy for him as he felt for them. Rachel, he recalled, had always been a fan of it too.
