Kell opened the door just as Mike was starting to knock. She gave him a smile that didn't look too forced. He gave her a smile that was somehow both eager, but apologetic.
"Hey, Kell." He looked a bit self-conscious. She could tell from the way he was hunched over, and how he made sure his jacket hung out a bit from his middle, that he was already sporting a hard-on.
"Hey, Mike." Her tone was flat.
"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out, and, um..."
Kell made a little sigh, turned, and beckoned him inside as she walked back to her living room. "You can play with yourself, but I'd really like it if this visit wasn't just that."
"Oh, thank you!" he said, his voice thick with relief. "After last time, you seemed like you were getting fed up." Despite his words, he was already undoing his belt as he closed the door behind him. He practically raced after her, barely getting himself positioned in front of her couch before his pants fell to his ankles, and he dropped back onto the cushion.
With a sigh, almost a moan, of relief, he grasped his hard penis, and began to stroke it in earnest. Watching him, Kell felt the familiar stirrings of pity. But as he leaned back and closed his eyes, becoming lost in the pleasure he so desperately craved, she could tell he was already almost oblivious to her presence.
"You better not only be here to get your rocks off," she said, settling onto the other side of the couch.
"Nuh," he mumbled. "No, no, of course not..." His stroking sped up. "Of course not..."
"Good," she said, turning to the television and clicking it on. She scrolled through until she found a random sitcom, and let it play on low volume. "So what have you been up to?"
"Uh, you know, just the usual," he said. His hand moved quickly. "Ugh, Kell, I'm gunna cum."
"Not without permission, you're not," she said.
"So give me permission," he said. His voice was tinged with irritation.
"Not until we have a normal conversation like we used to," she said, scowling at him. "You know, before the only thing we ever talked about was your dick."
Mike grunted, and forced himself to slow his stroking. He didn't quite stop, but he stalled the inevitable hard edging he'd experience if he tried to cum without her say so. "Come on, just let me shoot, and we can talk all you want."
"Watch the tone," Kell said, narrowing her eyes.
Mike grit his teeth and finally looked at her. He had to force himself not to check out her curves. Even though she wore a sweater and jeans, her clothes were quite form-fitting, and his eyes lingered on her chest. His cock flexed between his fingers, and he kept stroking. "Come on, Kell. Are we friends or not?"
Kell sighed and looked to the TV, shifting her body subtly, but enough to make sure the swell of her breasts was quite obvious. As soon as she broke eye contact, she knew his gaze had snapped right to her chest.
"We were," she said. "And now I'm just your cum dump."
Mike still couldn't take his eyes off her, and still couldn't stop himself from stroking. But his voice was full of frustration. "Cum dump? We don't sleep together. You won't even touch me."
"You're not my type," said Kell. "You're my friend, and fucking you would just ruin that." She shook her head. "But I guess even helping you jerk off is enough for that."
"Why would it ruin it?" said Mike, hotly. "We like each other, you've said I'm handsome, I think you're gorgeous..." He shivered as he felt his orgasm welling up. He had started stroking faster again without realizing it.
"And when your dick starts leading our every interaction, you stop seeing me as a person, and start seeing me as a release valve," she said, just as hotly. "When's the last time you actually came over because you wanted to have fun with me, and not because you needed to get your jollies?"
Mike frowned, but blushed. She spared him a quick side glance, noticing his eyes were still on her chest. His hand didn't stop stroking. He at least had the decency to look ashamed, but clearly his need was too great to ignore.
"Kell... I'm sorry, okay? I really am. You think I don't feel bad about this?"
She crossed her arms, still staring at the TV, though not really watching the show. Despite being a stand-offish pose, she made sure it accentuated the curve of her breasts. "I think the only part of you that feels bad is your balls."
Mike shook his head vehemently. "That's not true!"
She extended her legs, crossing them at the ankle. She wasn't wearing shoes, and she flexed her toes a bit. Mike's eyes were drawn to them, despite himself. He wanted to slow his hand, but he was already so close.
They'd never had sex, but he'd given her a foot massage once. With her feet in his lap, so close to his cock, she'd noticed him getting hard. She'd made a joke about how it was okay, she had hard feet, too. He asked if she'd massage his own hardness out. She'd hesitated, and then slowly pressed her foot against his crotch, giving it a little nudge. He went stiff and his breath caught short, but she pulled away immediately.
This was before the Chastity Curse had forced all men to completely rely on women for sexual relief. Later, when the Curse had hit, and he'd come to her to shamefully ask for permission to get himself off, he'd confessed that he'd masturbated and cum to the memory of that foot incident multiple times. He thought it might convince her to give him a foot job.
Instead, she just regretted she'd ever done it. If she hadn't done that little sexual push, maybe he wouldn't have latched onto her so readily as his orgasm life raft. And maybe their friendship wouldn't have decayed into an undignified masturbatrix arrangement.
As he stroked himself, coming perilously close to the unbearable edging of a blocked orgasm, she turned that memory of her foot on him. She flexed her toes again, and rolled her foot at the ankle a bit, showing off her red painted toe-nails.
"Kell..." he gasped. "Kell!" He couldn't stop himself. He stroked quickly, and his body shook. His cock jerked in his hand, and his hips bucked up. He let out a cry and grit his teeth, as if sheer determination could beat the strange that power that had doomed men to a lifetime of blue balls. But like billions of men around the world had learned through repeated painful lessons, there was no defeating the power of the Curse.
"Kell!" he whimpered, caught up in the throws of a suppressed climax. "Please!"
She let him writhe for several more seconds, before saying, "Hands off."
Immediately, Mike's hand flew off his cock, as if an invisible force had shoved it away. "No!" Mike cried. He tried to clutch at his cock, but it was like a force field now surrounded his crotch. His fingers stopped an inch shy of touching his throbbing member. His organ jerked in the air, and he tried to thrust his hips up, as if he could force his cock into his hands that way, but his hands were simply pushed upwards.
He looked to her, face red, angry and frustrated. "Kell! What are you doing?!"
She turned to him, glaring. "Why is it so damn tough for you to just deal with it? I just let you pop off three days ago! And two days before that! And a couple days before that! Are you such an addict, that if it wasn't for the Curse, you'd be jerking off three times a day or something?"
"You don't know what it's like!" he said. "Girls don't have to masturbate! Guys do! You don't have to unload your seed like we do! Us guys just need to get this junk out of our system!"
Kell turned in her seat to face him, folding her legs under her, and leaning her side, against the back of the couch. "Girls crave sex, too, you know, but if we can't get it, we don't use that as an excuse to get pissy and crazy."
"No, you just use PMS as your excuse!" said Mike. "That's your weird sex-related bullshit. But even before the fucking Curse, everyone just gave women a free pass for their periods! But guys getting horny, no fuck them, they're not allowed to be human and affected by their own hormones! And now that the Curse is around, women seem to have even less pity! You all treat it like it's some joke!"
Kell frowned, trying to reign in her temper. "Alright, Mike. Maybe that wasn't fair of me. But my hormones have never made me think of you as just some tool to be used. I know you need relief, and I want to help you, but not at the cost of our friendship."
Mike let out a ragged sigh and shoved himself back against the couch, like a cranky child. His cock was still hard, and it wagged a bit as he moved. Kell tried not to feel amused by its eager bobbing. "How is it even ruining our friendship?"
"The last five times you came over, I let you pop off, and then within ten minutes you had to take off," she said. "Remember when we used to watch movies? Play video games? Go for walks?"
