Chapter Twenty-Five

When I finally pull myself together and make it upstairs, I find Declan sitting on the edge of my bed, naked except for the chastity cage, and he looks nervous.

I immediately walk over to him and lean in to kiss him. Then I kick off my shoes, make him stand, and pull back the covers. I climb into bed, clothes and all, and pat the mattress next to me.

Nowhe looks…confused. “Sir?”

“In.” I remove my glasses and put them on the nightstand, then pick up the remote control for the TV, turn it on, and hand it to him. With that done, I snuggle him in my arms.

“Is everything all right, Sir?”

I nuzzle the top of his head. “Everything’s fine.” I don’t want to talk. I just want to bask in having him back in my arms.

“Aren’t we going to…do something?”

“Later.”

“Did she tell you where the key is, Sir?”

“Yep.”

He hesitates. “And…you’re not using it?”

I open my eyes to see him staring up at me. “Iliterallydidn’t sleep at all last night, and barely slept the night before. Case and I are okay. We talked. Everything’s fine now. She’ll stop by on her way home, unlock it, and play with you. She told me we could do anything else we wanted to dountil she got here. She requested I leave you locked up until them.”

He’s staring at me. “And you don’t want to play until then?”

I lean in and kiss him. I take my time and do a thorough job of it, until he’s softly moaning and squirming and I hear the pained hint in his tone. “Idowant to,” I gently say. “I want to fuck you, and make you come, and play with you. But she also said you can staywith me all weekend, until Monday morning. All she’s asking for is to play with you tonight. She even said I could watch or join in, if I want.”

“She did?”

“Mmm-hmm.” I nuzzle his nose. “But you’re in pain right now, aren’t you?”

I can tell he doesn’t want to answer me, but he finally does. “It’s uncomfortable when I get hard, Sir. But I don’t mind.”

“See, Ido. Yes, under different circumstancesI might want to lock you up for fun. Right now, I want to snuggle with you and take a nap.” I cup his cheek. “Ineedto sleep. It’s okay. I’m not angry, not the slightest bit upset. After she plays with you, I’m going to feel like playing with you. But for now, I need a nap.”

I close my eyes. The next thing I know, I’m being kissed.

Declan.

Behind him stands Case. She’s still wearing the formaldress she wore to the event. She’s also wearing a playful smile and giving me a soft golf clap.

“Well-played, George,” she says as she kicks off her heels. “I’m impressed.”

I sit up, yawning. “What time is it?”

“10:49, Sir,” Declan tells me.

She turns her back on us. “Dec.” I realize she’s motioning to her zipper.

He unzips her and she turns to face us again as she shrugs the dress off. “Thanks.”

She’s wearing a matched set, black lace bra and panties, different from the ones she wore the other night. “I honestly thought I’d get here to find him cross-eyed from pain and begging me to take that off him. FYI, if you haven’t guessed yet, he’s conditioned to get horny from pain. Kind of a self-perpetuating cycle when I lock him up.”

I opt to be honest and tell her my reasoning. She standsthere listening with her head cocked. When I finish, she nods. “Fair enough.” She smiles. “Little bit soft for a sadist, but I’m not judgy. Since we’re both being magnanimous, and have realized that mutually-assured destruction via Declan won’t help anyone, how about this—I want to get off. I’d like him to eat me out first, get me off like that a few times, then fuck me to get me off one more time.But in all honesty? I’d like to try something different. How about you fuck him while he fucks me? Do you feel up to that?”

I’m not sure I’m totally awake. “Did I just hear you correctly?”
