It hadn't even been a day since the encounter and she was already trying to figure out what time frame would be best for her. It wasn't like she had a schedule of any kind to work around, she went where she was needed and could be working in sporadic bursts. Vazaroust was indeed very popular, she would have to make any plans in advance in order to secure any time for herself. But could she really just blindly choose a time and just hope she wouldn't be needed for something?
This was why Munin insisted on her getting some relief, wasn't it? She had been doing this for... A very long time. Outpost to outpost, from one fight to the next, she did a lot to keep things orderly, to help people out, but she never really slowed down, did she. Just trying to schedule a day to get fucked was the thing that made her stop and think about it, funny that.
She eventually settled on whatever she could find that was the soonest, which was unfortunately five days out, Just contemplating what was in store for the future was already getting her revved up. She couldn't tell if her drive was better or worse because of all of this. She offered to pay extra to take any cancelled spot before hers.
At least the week was busy, Ketna found her hands full with a new problem that cropped up. Nothing too complicated, dealing with some malicious counterfeit implants. It was more tedious than it was dangerous, those sorts of things were like roaches, you spot one, there's likely a dozen more scattered, hidden in the walls and neighboring buildings. Luckily for her, they hadn't distributed or sold any of the goods by the time she tracked them down, meant she didn't have to do the work of tracking down each victim, and all the subsequent paperwork, giving her ample time for recreation when her appointment day rolled around.
While she had not been able to secure an earlier date, she was at least permitted to drop by an hour earlier, which she eagerly took advantage of. The day had been cleared and her own anticipation had made the wait frustrating enough. There was no hesitation or overthinking the situation when she arrived at his apartment floor.
Clients would be sent a room code they could key in at the appointed time, it skipped the formality of door knocking and greeting. Ketna let herself in, stowing her things in the offered cubbies she recalled from before. Without the performance from last time, she took to stripping herself on her own.
"Eager to have a go at it again, I see." Vazaroust called from down the room.
Ketna huffed but admitted. "Yes. Yes I am"
"Glad to hear it, early appointments mean I either get to wrap up early, or get some extra pay. Any idea which of the two you'll be contributing to?"
She hadn't given consideration to the prospect that arriving an hour early meant she could add an hour to her appointment. She finished her undressing, walking out into the main room she answered his question.
"I'll have to get back to you on that."
"Fair enough." Vazaroust noted her voice while she crossed the room. "Still have the mask on?"
"Yes. Usually I wear a full head covering, you caught me on a day when I had a half mask."
"Ah." He didn't want to state it, but he was disappointed. "Let me know whenever you're ready to begin."
"Before that, there's a few things about this helmet you should know."
Vazaroust said nothing pausing in his tracks to listen intently to what she was about to say, intrigued as to why she'd point that out before the session.
"I uh," her voice faulted now that she had put herself on the spot. She tapped the back of the helm, despite the good that would do. "I made this to have some sensory deprivation controls. There's a switch for sight and a switch for sound, there's some protrusion near the switch to indicate which control it is. If it's one bump it's sight, if it's two it's sound."
Vaz was endlessly entertained by the notion Ketna had gone out of her way to construct something in a near week from their last session. Not surprising, really, she did make a full body restraint rig. Her thoughtful planning and nervous delivery had this charming juxtaposition he couldn't help but be amused by. He approached her to investigate the helmet for himself, finding her hand placed on the back, which was pushing down the securing strap on the helmet itself. Following her fingers he felt the switches in question, they would have been otherwise hidden behind the strap had Ketna not pushed it out of the way for him. Vaz took the opportunity to flip the first one. Ketna was surprised in a way but not really, she felt that rush as he took authority of the situation, tense with excitement and anticipation.
Vaz licked the crook of her neck, tracing a finger from the nape of her neck and down her spine. "Should we test it out?"
Ketna swallowed, hot and on edge. "Yes"
"Good" he stepped away from her, leaving her standing there, effectively blindfolded.
Ketna remained standing in the spot where he left her, expecting him to provide some direction or instruction. She listened for his steps and clicks as he walked around the room. She could hear him, interacting with.. Something. The sounds of metal and plastics being set up and placed back down, she could tell if he was deliberating or being intentionally misleading. His footsteps were drawing closer to where she stood. An arm wrapped around her and hoisted her up around the middle, she was dropped around the crook of his arm facing downward. This wasn't exactly anything she was expecting.
Vazaroust always found sighted creatures to be unusually dependent on their visual capabilities. They all relied on that singular sense so much, they became so helpless without it. But this, this was his domain. He knew how to use their reliance on sight against them, how to misdirect. What he gathered, he set to the side leaving his hands free to position himself back into a seated position on the cushions, the woman along with him, whom he placed in his lap as he sat back down, settling in for what was next.
"I believed you requested the introduction of restraints or toys, so let's do a little of both."
Ketna had already suspected as much, she did request that, after all, but now without being able to see what he chose, it made the wait that much more suspenseful. He lifted her back off the cushion while directing one of her hands behind her, she followed suit with the other suspecting he was about to restrain the both of them, and he was.
Carefully moving the two arms together behind her back, a solid parallel cuff fastened the arms together behind her back. Once done he guided her back down into a lying position. It was smooth where it met her back, so it wasn't uncomfortable laying back upon her arms. This left her little mobility with her arms but this was fine considering the circumstances.
Fingers traced down her torso, over her sternum to her navel, and back up again to her neck. They lingered there for a moment sliding back and forth, then swept under the head to lift it ever slightly. With his other hand, he wrapped a collar around the neck. Ketna heard it clink, the ring responsible for the noise touching at the sides of the metal base that held it there. It rested on the base of the neck once Vazaroust had finished fastening the collar from behind.
Contact left her body again, prompting Ketna to listen out for the changes in movement around her, she had a feeling she knew what was to happen next. Hands grasped at her thigh, giving them a gentle squeeze before spreading them apart. One at a time, around each thigh just above the knee he fastened soft, firm straps attached to a spreader bar. Once each leg had been secured to the metal bar, it was pulled, guiding her legs with it until it was hooked up to the ring on her collar.
Restricted, secured and exposed, only left with sound and touch to inform her of what was to happen next. A hand caressed her thigh, touching lightly upon it, stroking up gently and letting go. She felt his weight lift itself from the cushions he had been beside and leave the space entirely. Followed by footsteps, the sound of which moved further away. She expected to hear him stop by one of the shelves but he just kept walking. Was he seriously leaving the room?
Her ears tracked the steps for as long as she could, he really left her there alone entirely. Was he getting something not available in the room? If that were the case, what could it possibly be. She heard no distinct movement, nothing obvious being moved. No, he wasn't retrieving anything, he was leaving her there as part of the process.
The limited input, the restricted movement, this was all drive up her anticipation and leave her on edge. And it was working. She remained there for some time, she wasn't sure how long, all she could really occupy herself with were her thoughts. It could be anything but the thing she kept coming back to was the visualization of what Vazaroust might do to her upon his return which she could only surmise that's exactly what he hoped her mind would travel off to. The general white noise of silence was finally broken by the return of a certain familiar sound of footsteps.
He took his time, strolling leisurely back to where she lay. He didn't sit back down immediately, instead he leaned over her, positioning an arm under her and scooping her up easily from the ground. From there he cradled her in his arms before seating himself, resting her sideways upon his lap as he did.
Hands grazed over her thighs, touching gently to the flesh, over the outer and inner thigh. A stroke up, then down, but he didn't make any effort to move between her legs. When she felt his touch again, it was at her midsection, reaching below her legs. Again soft and gentle strokes against her skin were made with no attempt to make contact with her erogenous zones. First she was made to wait and now he was continuing to tease her, it was maddening and she knew he was doing it on purpose.
