"No excuses today, slave...."
"Yes, Mistress."
The worst part was that she had one of those very early morning meetings, which meant slave went into lock down under less than optimal circumstances - there had been no discharge of those manly bodily fluids since Sunday morning.
I had to self lock on Monday morning, since Mistress was already gone to her meeting. my balls were particularly un-cooperative as I attempted to wiggle and smush them through the hard steel ring. Maybe I should have opted for the plastic CB brand lock, which has its own shortcomings - those moving parts that tend to pinch flesh and snag pubic hair at inopportune times. I always wonder if folks ask themselves "what's Mick squirming and fidgeting about" when that happens.
In any event, it wasn't like I was on the "honor system". Mistress was stopping by at the end of the day to join me at an early evening political event. That meant She could verify that her slave was securely locked down, which she did when she arrived at my office at around 5:30 pm.

"Awww.... poor slave... all locked away....."
We walked over to a local bar for the political reception, and spent an hour hob knobbing with old friends and hangers on. I doubt any of them suspected that the gentlemen in the blue suit with the hottest babe there was in a steel cock cage.
At one point I was talking to one group and Mistress was in another,next to the bar. I noticed a tall, slender African American man, probably in his 40's, approach Mistress and give her a hug, whisper in her ear, and then move to the other side of the room.
Hmmm.... no one I recognized. On our way back to our cars I asked Mistress who the guy was who gave her that hug.
"I have no idea slave.....he just walked up, gave me a hug and and said "you sure look sexy...."
She didn't seem to mind at all.
We stopped at a local BBQ joint for an al fresco dinner before sunset, extending my time on lock down. At home around 8:30 pm, Mistress finally allowed me to pop off that steel contraption and let the family jewels loose.
Ahhhhh.
Sadly, we were both a little too tired for a sexual nightcap. It wasn't until Tuesday morning that slave finally got to break that long tortuous 48 hours of denial. And we did it in good style, with some exuberant cock riding by Mistress as a prelude for slave's own release.
Sometimes the wait is worth it.
