Taxing Times Ch. 03-04

Chapter Three

Luke found it impossible to concentrate on doing any work over the next few days. Every time that his phone rang or received a text message, he hoped it would be from Ella only to have his hopes dashed each time. Even his dreams were invaded by her: visions of her straddling his body then sinking down onto his cock or his face made him as hard as a rock as did ones of her spanking his arse or teasing him to distraction while he was tied up. He woke each morning feeling exhausted yet with an erection that was pushing up the duvet substantially! He tried going for long runs in the night to tire himself out but that didn't work. Nor did having cold showers in the morning as his cock managed to stay hard throughout. In fact, the almost-pain of having the icy water streaming down onto it seemed to make him even harder!

Each knock at the door made his heart beat faster just in case she was paying him a surprise visit but disappointment set in swiftly when he found himself talking to Jehovah's Witnesses, a double glazing salesman and someone trying to peddle dusters! Luke found that he no longer had any interest in going clubbing either. The thought of picking up a girl and bringing her back to his place for sex seemed meaningless and did not excite him at all. The woman had bewitched him, he thought morosely as he picked at his lasagne desultorily during a lunch with a potential new client. His phone buzzed gently at him and he glanced down at the screen then spat out a bit of his food in shock as he realised who the message was from.

"You alright?" inquired the client, eyebrows raised slightly.

"Fine, honest. Just a bit of food that went down the wrong way!" replied Luke as he scrolled down to the message, fingers shaking as he wondered what Miss Dawson was going to say. Had she finished his accounts? Was she going to bring them round? He hoped so fervently!

Opening the text message, Luke gulped audibly as he scanned the contents whilst his face reddened. Was she serious?

"Are you sure that you're okay, Mr Brodie?" asked his client again as he put his knife and fork down on his empty plate.

"Just a little under the weather actually," answered Luke, thinking quickly as his brain still tried to take in the message and to work out how he could obey it. "In fact, if you would excuse me for a few moments, I need to go to the toilet."

Picking up his phone and nonchalantly sliding it into his trouser pocket, Luke stood up and walked swiftly towards the lavatories in the restaurant. Once in the gents, he slipped into one of the stalls and undid his trousers, pushing them along with his briefs down to allow his already-stiffening cock to poke out into the air. He placed the phone on top of the cistern tank, angling it so its camera could catch him in the act then he switched on the video function and started to masturbate, closing his eyes and picturing Miss Dawson in all her glory as he did so.

Fantasising about her closing her soft lips around the swollen head of his cock, Luke groaned with delight and felt his cock stiffen even more. He stroked up and down the shaft, easing his foreskin back and forth over his purple glans until slippery precome oozed out of his slit. He smeared it into his knob with his fingers and then gently teased his sensitive, swollen flesh, arousal growing swiftly. Darts of lust shot up his long shaft as his fingers moved more quickly and then he was gasping in passion as his white seed raced up his cock and spurted out in a great arc. It splashed down into the toilet bowl and was soon followed by more as his fingers continued to work on his prick, extracting all his spunk before it softened slowly. Blushing furiously, Luke turned the video function off and cleaned himself up as best he could before he walked out of the stall and washed his hands, glad to find that nobody else was in the washroom with him.

Luke's phone pinged just after he had finished settling the bill after saying farewell to his client. Adding a generous tip, Luke then looked down at his phone and scrolled down to the message, heart leaping like a salmon as he saw that it was from Miss Dawson. He spirits sank though when he read the message as it just curtly informed him that a present would be arriving that afternoon by courier and that she expected a picture of him using the gift as soon as possible. Taking the opportunity, Luke downloaded the video to her as she had requested earlier whilst answering then he walked out of the restaurant and headed home, mind wondering what little present she had bought for him.

It was shortly before three that the front door bell rang stridently and Luke, setting down his book, hurried to answer, nerves jangling like the bell as he wondered if it was going to be the parcel he was expecting. It was indeed and, after signing for it, Luke shut the door and went to find a pair of scissors to cut the tape that held the box together. Avoiding cutting his finger by a whisker, he managed to slice the tape in half and then opened the brown cardboard box and extracted a peculiar contraption of leather and metal which was contained in a cellophane bag. Puzzled, he stared at it for a moment or two before he cut the bag open and pulled the object out, discovering an instruction leaflet underneath. His dark blue eyes scanned the wording swiftly and he swore, heart pounding at the thought of wearing it. Could he really demean himself so much for this woman whom he hardly knew?

The answer was in the affirmative despite his misgivings and so he slipped down his trousers and briefs then eased his ball sac through the metal ring before he buckled the leather belt around his hips after tightening it. A metal cage then slipped onto two protrusions sticking out of the ring and locked into place securely with a small padlock, trapping his cock inside. The cool steel touched Luke's shaft and he found himself growing slightly excited then groaned as his flesh was squeezed by the encircling cage constructed of steel bars with tiny gaps in between. His cock was trapped entirely within the chastity device and there was no escape...although fortunately there were two keys!

After taking a picture and forwarding it to Miss Dawson's phone, Luke pulled up his trousers and briefs and tried to forget about the strange device that encased his cock. Although it made a discernible bulge in his trousers, it wasn't blatantly obvious but he knew that he would be removing it before he ever ventured outside. His phone pinged again and disrupted his train of thought from the potential embarrassment of being rushed into casualty after being taken ill and the nurses discovering what he was wearing. To his surprise, it was a message from Miss Dawson, almost instantly responding to his picture.

"Well done for being an obedient little slave. Now all that remains is for you to post the keys to me at the following address."

Luke's eyes scanned over the address, hardly taking it in as his mind wrestled with what she wanted him to do then he read on.

"The quicker I get them then the quicker I might come and see you and release you!" Luke read out loud, mind darkening at the contents although the solitary kiss at the end cheered him up. Should he comply with her wishes? The thought terrified him yet aroused him in equal measure. Could he trust her or would she just disappear into the ether and not return his calls? Wasn't trust what it was all about? He frowned slightly as he considered his last thought. Was she testing how much trust that he had in her? Did he trust her? Yes, he decided suddenly and so, before he could have second thoughts, he found a brown envelope, slipped the keys inside wrapped up in some bubble wrap, wrote the address on the front and stuck on a first class stamp. Now all that remained was to get to the nearest post box without anyone examining the bulge in his trousers too carefully, he thought grimly as he headed for the front door.

Deciding that it would be a good idea to wear a coat to hide the chastity cage despite the fact that it was a warm day, Luke stepped outside and started to walk towards the nearest post box. Unfortunately, it was a good half a mile away and, because of the sun streaming down from the heavens, there seemed to be an awful lot of people around too! Nodding to a few passing acquaintances, ones that Luke knew lived somewhere in the area, he strode on as swiftly as he could and tried to ignore the encumbrance of the metal cage banging against his thigh with every step. Relieved to have made it to the box, Luke slid the envelope in through the slot then turned for home, praying fervently that, now he had crossed the Rubicon, the precious object would not get lost in the post somewhere. On the way back, Luke had the misfortune to run into one of his neighbours just a few yards from the safety of his house and he stood there and tried to converse, all too conscious of the metal chastity cage encasing his cock as the woman, a recent divorcee in her early forties, invited him in for a drink at some point. Promising that he would when he could and pleading pressure of work, Luke extracted himself after about five minutes and walked swiftly up his path, relieved, to say the least, when his front door closed behind him. How long would that envelope take? First class should mean that it would get there the next day but Luke wasn't feeling optimistic and he groaned at the thought of wearing the cage for a couple of days if not longer!

Chapter Four

It was actually a whole three days before Luke heard from Miss Dawson. During that time, he had managed to stay indoors for as much time as possible, even cancelling one meeting with a client in his desperation not to be found out. His heart had leapt at every phone call or text but each time his hopes of release had been dashed. Fortunately, he had enough food in the fridge and freezer to survive and he had even rung up his cleaning lady and told her not to come round, using the excuse that he was going away. His thoughts had constantly been on the chastity cage and how constricting it was, squeezing round his shaft and dangling down against his thigh as he moved. Even going to the toilet had proved problematical as, despite the design, it was difficult to make sure that his stream of urine was going where he wanted it to. In the end, he settled for the simple solution and sat down on the toilet seat like a girl!

The text came just as he emerged from the en-suite having had a shower. Luke strolled over to his phone, shaking his head in advance as he had already decided that it wasn't going to be from Miss Dawson. Picking it up, he yelled in triumph when he saw that it was from her before his excited expression vanished as he read the whole text and saw that she wanted him to meet her at a wine bar in the town at noon. His fingers hovered over the touch screen for a few moments as he thought about saying no but he wanted the cage removed so much that he decided it was worth the risk of going out in public after all.

Replying swiftly, Luke then rummaged around in his wardrobe for the best pair of trousers to wear, trying on several before he decided on a loose pair that concealed the chastity device as much as possible. Adding a loose shirt helped and, after waiting around for an hour or so, Luke went out to his car and drove off into town, squeezing skilfully into a tight parking space about a hundred yards away from the bar. After locking his car, Luke walked along the pavement to the wine bar, trying not to feel self-conscious as he felt the cage sway from side to side with every step. Nobody, however, appeared to give him a second glance but he was still grateful to reach the shaded doorway and sidle in.

A few minutes early, he noticed, looking at his watch, and so he was surprised to find Miss Dawson seated at a table, sipping contentedly from a glass of Zinfandel rose. She looked absolutely ravishing in a clingy peach-coloured top that was cut surprisingly low and his eyes automatically dropped down to her breasts for a moment before he regained control of himself. Luke walked across and slipped into the seat opposite her then cleared his throat emphatically.

"I do know that you are there so you don't have to make it obvious. Now, stand up and let me have a good look at you!"

Luke rose from his seat, sweat appearing as if by magic on his brow as a wave of embarrassed heat rushed through him. The blush worsened as her emerald eyes scanned him closely, lingering on his groin for a few seconds whilst a faint smile flickered across her soft lips.

"You'll do, my little slave. Sit down and be silent while I finish my glass of wine and then we will go for a nice drive in that flashy car of yours. Top down so that we can enjoy the weather and all the girls can look at you and think how they'd like to be with you just so they can ride in your car! Perhaps they'd be safer now due to that little device that you are wearing?" Ella murmured, enjoying the bemused and worried expression on her client's face as she sipped her wine daintily, deliberately licking off the last vestige of liquid off her lips with her tongue.

After ten minutes, Ella stood up, revealing that she was wearing a relatively-demure knee-length skirt, and told Luke to lead her to his car. Again, he found his embarrassment rising as he stepped out into the bright light of day and so he hurried to his vehicle, unlocked it with the key fob then got inside. It took him a few seconds to realise that Miss Dawson was just standing by the passenger door and another couple to understand that she was expecting him to go round and open it for her. Sighing, he complied, opening it then shutting it behind her once she had elegantly slipped into the low-slung sports car, showing off a little of her smooth thigh in the process.

"Manners maketh the man, young man!" she informed him as he turned on the engine and then she directed him to head for the coast as he pulled away from the kerb.

It was a pleasant drive as, not being the holiday season, the tourists were only noticeable by their absence and so the roads were quite clear. Within a quarter of an hour, Ella had directed Luke into a small car park overlooking a beautiful bay. Parking his precious car, Luke remembered to hurry round and open his passenger's door, receiving a smile for his courtesy before he was abruptly told to kneel down. Swiftly, he shot a glance around to see if anyone was nearby then, reassured by the emptiness, he started to drop down only to be slapped hard round the face before he could finish.

"I did not say to have a look to see if anyone was watching! I said that you should kneel! If you wish to be with me, young man, then you will need to be obedient wherever you are. If I tell you to kneel in the middle of the shopping centre then I expect you to obey! Understood?"

"Yes, Miss Dawson," Luke murmured through gritted teeth as the stinging in his jaw slowly subsided. He resisted the temptation to rub his cheek as he knelt down and stared at her legs from just a few inches away.

"That's better. Now, I think we shall go for a nice walk round the cliffs in this glorious sunshine but before we do, I think you need something to keep your mouth occupied so I don't have to listen to any inane comments! Close your eyes and do not open them until I tell you!" Ella barked, waiting until he had complied before she lifted her skirt and quickly removed her panties. Dangling the scrap of lace in her hand, she ordered him to open his eyes again along with his mouth and then she bent down and pushed the gossamer-thin black lace between his lips.

"That should keep you quiet, I think!" she remarked with a wicked gleam in her eye before she set off at a fast pace along the cliff path.

Rising to his feet, Luke stumbled after her, obeying her strict instruction to stay a few paces behind as she headed towards the very edge of the cliff, straying off the marked path until she was standing looking over the clear blue sea far below.

"Come and stand here alongside me," she stated, beckoning him forward and Luke edged closer, heart pounding a little faster as his eyes were caught by the drop.

"It's all about trust, young man," Ella continued, putting her hand on Luke's bare arm and feeling him jump slightly at her touch. "Stand there and close your eyes for me!"

Luke followed her order, fear flooding into his senses as he lost sight of the edge. Saliva filled his mouth and soaked the scrap of lace inside and he found a strange but pleasant taste soaking into his palate as her intimate scent seeped out of the material.

"Let's see just how faithful and trusting you are!" snapped Ella, stepping away slightly and watching his body shiver slightly. "Take a pace forward!"

Luke hesitated for a fraction of a second then complied despite fearing that he would plunge over the edge of the cliff and be smashed into pieces on the rocks far below. He even resisted the temptation to open his eyes and check his position as he put all of his faith in her. Relieved when his feet met solid ground, he exhaled then continued to follow her instructions as she had him turning and marching like a soldier on parade until a shouted command brought him to an abrupt halt.

"You can open your eyes now," she murmured, breath teasing across his earlobe and he did so, eyes widening in horror as he saw that he was within one pace of falling off the top. His legs weakened for a second or two and a hot flush of fear raced through his body before she curtly told him to follow her once more.

After a further five minutes of fast walking, they arrived at one of the many crumbling remnants of the war. It was a concrete pillbox set back against the headland and provided a perfect view of the bay below. Scarred with graffiti and surrounded by a sea of purple heather, it looked abandoned and desolate and Luke wondered whose job it had been to keep watch from it during the lonely, cold nights when Britain feared invasion.

"In you go and remove all your clothing then hand it to me, slave!" snapped Ella, pointing to the dark aperture. Reluctantly, Luke slipped in, shivering a little as the warmth of the sun was replaced by the sudden coolness. He slipped off his shirt and then his trousers, mind whirling with the possibility of discovery as he leant out and placed them in her waiting hand.

"All of your clothes. That includes shoes, socks, your watch and those boxer shorts!"

Trembling nervously at the thought of being completely naked, Luke forced himself to be obedient, stripping off the rest and handing it to her.

"That's better. However, for being slow to comply, I will leave you here alone for a little longer. Enjoy your peaceful occupation of this pillbox while I continue on my walk. I will return when I am ready!" she announced with a twinkle in her jade eyes at his self-evident dismay. "Make sure that you keep the panties in your mouth too!"

Luke watched aghast as she turned away and strode off, long legs eating up the ground and firm buttocks clearly delineated in the strong rays of the sun. Soon she was lost to his sight, vanishing amidst the rolling sea of heathery fronds. How could she be so cruel? Would she come back or just leave him there? What should he do if someone approached? The thoughts flickered through his head like film through a projector and he whimpered softly in fear then tried to get a grip on himself. Surely, he was safe inside the pillbox? It was isolated on the headland and she wouldn't be gone very long. It was just a quick test and then she would be back and perhaps she would remove the chastity cage from his cock and allow him to pleasure her! That thought made him stiffen slightly and he groaned as his hardening flesh encountered the unyielding bars of the steel cage.
