I woke at eight o'clock on Saturday morning. My arms and legs were numb, my face felt stiff from all the dried juices covering it and my mouth tasted like a footballers jockstrap, and I needed to piss badly. I recalled what had happened the night before and it was only then that my mind registered the pain in my penis. As with most mornings I had awoken with an erection, this morning though, it had nowhere to go and I was once more reminded of my predicament. I waited a half hour and just as I thought that I would be forced to piss myself I heard voices through the monitor. But it was still some long minutes before Beth came to me "God Beth please? I need the toilet," I burst out as soon as she entered the room.
She just stared at me for a moment with a blank expression, she then released me with the air of someone doing a boring chore such as the washing up, she didn't speak to me, she appeared to be emotionless, as though I no longer mattered to her. When my hands were free I briefly thought about making a grab for her, but after over twelve hours tied to the bed unable to move I had trouble just standing. My arms and legs were numb and weak, and any thoughts of escape were soon dispelled. A three year old armed with a limp lettuce could have overpowered me at that moment. Beth helped me to the bathroom, and with my lack of strength I had to sit on the pan like a woman. I tried to think of something to say that would ease the situation but she spoke first.
"I don't really want to watch you on the toilet so I'll leave you alone. Just remember who is in control though," she told me, holding up the remote for emphasis "I'll be downstairs if you need me," she walked away before I could answer.
After relieving myself I managed to stumble to the shower. I sat on the floor and allowed the hot water to wash away the stiffness from my limbs. Once I had dried myself and brushed my teeth I felt almost human again, though I was still tired and I ached all over. The worst thing though was my penis. I was locked in this fucking tube and despite what Beth had done with Steve (or maybe because of what she had done, I don't know, I was so confused,) I kept getting an erection. After I dressed I thought it best to wait in the bedroom: I didn't know if Steve was still there and I didn't want to face him just then. Also - and I didn't want to admit it even to myself, I was frightened of what Beth might do if I upset her.
oOo
"We need to talk," Beth said as she sat on the chair next to her dressing table, it was late morning and she was looking through the things there as though she didn't recognize them and she seemed to take a long time to think of what she wanted to say. I sat with my back against the headboard, my arms draped across my raised knees. We both wore blue jeans; Beth's were a much tighter fit and looked a whole lot better than mine. She also had a white T shirt pulled tight and tucked into her waistband. She wore make up which was unusual, it was something she only normally did when she was going out. She also looked happy, abnormally so, I liked to see her happy but not under these circumstances, and the happier she was the more miserable I felt.
"Steve's gone home to get some things, he'll be staying here for the weekend," she told me.
"It doesn't make it right," I said, not attempting to hide the bitterness in my voice.
"What?" a look of confusion crossed her face.
"I know what I did with Gina was wrong but it doesn't mean what you're doing now is right."
She looked puzzled by my remark and actually shook her head to refocus "It's not about right and wrong, it's about payback. You really hurt me, I vowed never to be hurt again," she certainly wasn't looking happy now. Beth had been married before she met me, her husband had been a serial cheat and she had taken it very hard. I knew all this and the knowledge made me feel even guiltier. She continued "I'm not going to be seen as weak again, you of all people should know that. Now as I said, Steve will be staying the weekend. You yourself won't be leaving the house, and you'll wear your little tube until Monday morning whatever happens. Until then you'll obey us and do everything we say. In effect you'll be our slave."
"That's fucking ridiculous, you can't do this," I began to lose my cool and sat up straight on the bed, I was going to stop this right now, but before I could move any further she pointed the remote control at me as though it were a gun, I remembered the pain it promised and slumped back on the bed.
"On Monday you have a choice: we can carry on with this set up, you wear your tube and obey me and we see where it takes us, or if you feel you can't do that you can leave, we can divorce if that's the case. The ball will be in your court."
"But I don't want a divorce," I protested.
"Neither do I, but those are my terms, I'm not going to negotiate," she looked away, appearing uncertain again and I wondered if there was some hope for me, but she quickly stood up and walked to the door "You can stay up here or come downstairs, it's up to you. Just remember you have to do exactly what I say until Monday. "
"What have you told him about me?" I asked. I couldn't bring myself to say his name.
