[KnownAsHerbert] New chapter

[KnownAsHerbert]

I didn't write much yesterday and the late on in the day Emmi said that it might be a good idea to keep up my writing. Imagine, she said, in a year's time when the trial is over, it might be useful, or interesting at least, to read back over what was going on in these early days. I think she has a point, so I will try to keep posting.

Yesterday followed two nights of interrupted sleep, which had been caused by annoying nocturnal erections. So I was tired but had to go into the office for a couple of meetings. There were stirrings in the cage from time to time, distracting but not infuriating but I got through the day and headed home.

In the evening I was aware of an ache. Not extreme pain but just a dull ache. I have learnt that following a release where only one orgasm has been allowed, as it had four days earlier in my case, this is common and normal. Also common and normal a few days after the orgasm were the powerful nocturnal erections that I had experienced and that had kept me awake for those two nights. Not much fun.

I mentioned the ache to Emmi. She suggested a soak in a hot bath might help and that sounded like a good idea so I decided to give it a try. I didn't ask for the Nub to be removed but I hoped she would offer anyway. She didn't, so I remained Nubbed, but it was nice to soak in the hot water. Dried off and into the bedroom where Emmi was already waiting and ready for bed, she asked if I felt any better and I said that I thought I did. The bath had helped a bit. She then said she would try to make it feel even better still and told me to get onto the bed on my hands and knees. Once in that position, she held and caressed my balls, asking “How does that feel?”. I told her that it felt wonderful and please don't stop. I wanted to ask her to remove the cage and rub my cock as well, but I know that I'm not allowed.

Maybe she knew what I wanted to ask, because she said “I bet you'd like me to unlock you and make you come, wouldn't you?” and I replied that that would be good but it wasn't for me to decide. She said "No, it isn't" and continued holding my balls for a moment longer. Then she let go and said “How do they feel now? Still aching?”. I told her that the ache seemed to have gone or at least to be much less noticeable now. She didn't unlock the cage and make me come and no more was said about it. I was hard of course, but it was time to service her needs before settling down to sleep.

And the night was better than the previous two. I remember being awake at midnight and 2:30am, hard both times of course but after that the next I remember was 5:30, already getting light and birds chirping away outside. No getting up and walking around in the night.

Now onto another day and work to do. Working at home today, which is nice. We can have lunch together and I feel like I can use a day without having to go out and drive and all that comes with a day in the office. I'll probably be back in there tomorrow so I will make the most of my day at home today. No ache this morning, which is a plus.

[KnownAsHerbert]

An unusual amount of daytime activity in the cage today, including one super-hard erection attempt at around 2pm. More like one of the nocturnal events. I'm hoping that my cock is getting all this effort out of the way during the day for a change so that it'll settle down and let me sleep through the night. At least there's no aching balls this evening...

[KnownAsHerbert]

Well of course, the daytime activity that I mentioned in my previous post didn't mean a night without interruptions, but on the whole it wasn't bad at all. I woke at 3am though and felt the cage tightly holding back at attempt at erection. It wasn't too powerful and I was pleased with how well I was able to feel comfortable about not getting annoyed or frustrated with it for a change. It was almost nice in fact and I waited for it to ease off so that I could go back to sleep.

But it didn't ease off and 20 minutes or so later I was still lying there waiting. It still wasn't uncomfortable or unpleasant at all. It just wasn't going away. And then, suddenly and with no warning there was a mighty increase in power. It actually startled me as it appeared to happen completely out of the blue and the cage was instantly really tight. Now it got a little bit uncomfortable too and I wondered if I would be getting up for a little walk. This was very strange. The sudden increase was followed by further powerful 'surges' that kept the pressure and intensity right up there.

I refused to give in and get up out of bed but instead I rapped my hand down hard on the mattress several times in frustration, sort of a 'whap whap whap whap whap' noise, and even moaned out loud. I'm sure I've never done that before.

Unfortunately, with it being a rather cooler night that the previous few, Emmie had settled and snuggled right down last night. I mean, right down, head under the pillow and everything. This meant that her head, and specifically her ear, was pressed against the mattress that I'd just hammered on with my hand and the sound was sent straight into her head. She jumped up with a start and was instantly wide awake. “What's up? What's wrong?”

I explained what was going on and how I'd just thumped my hand against the bed to distract myself from what was happening in the Nub at that point. She responded with words that I can't accurately remember but it was something like, “Jesus, Herb, I thought the fucking house was on fire. Don't you ever do anything like that again”. Not happy with being woken up at such a ridiculous hour of the night (and now fully wide awake) she went on to say that she had been going to allow me another orgasm before the end of May but I could “bloody well wait till June now”. I am hoping this was a 'heat of the moment' comment and she'll forget about it.

She turned out her bedside light and snuggled back down in bed, pulling me near and pushing me down on her to “relax her nerves” so that she could sleep again. Satisfied and contented she drifted back off to sleep. I returned to my side of the bed and settled down to enjoy my own sensations, those of a newly engorged cock trapped in its tiny secure cage.

I didn't get a chance to write any more yesterday as I was in the office for the whole day again. I have to go in to work today as well but a brief update is in order.

I actually had a pretty good night! There was one nocturnal that woke me at around midnight but nothing else until nearly 5am. That 5am one meant business and it was the end of my sleep for the night but overall, I had slept well. At 5am I just lay there for a while and it wasn't unpleasant really, and certainly no discomfort or pain.

One strange thing that has happened a few times over the past few days is that these erections, although prevented and contained in the Nub, actually feel like proper erections. In my head it had seemed that the Nub had somehow just come undone and popped off during the night. This morning, I was so convinced that I put my hand down to feel myself and (if I'm being totally honest) to play with it only to find, of course, that I couldn't. The Nub was in place, just as secure as ever.

So, up to make coffee, have a shower and get ready for work. It will be nice to be working from home tomorrow but today, I'm needed in the office. There'll be further updates when I can. For now though, I'm still hard in there despite being up and about, which is also unusual.

[KHEmmi]

I put my hand down to feel myself and (if I'm being totally honest) to play with it only to find, of course, that I couldn't.

Just as well I keep it locked then. No 'playing with it' allowed.

[KnownAsHerbert]

All seems so random at the moment.
Unlocked for sex a week ago and locked straight back up in the Nub after just one orgasm.
Then a night or two with not much happening (within the cage I mean) followed by some difficult nights and nothing going on during the day
Activity during the day yesterday and an easier night
woke up extra hard this morning and today I've had multiple erections, some that won't go away. Another one now...
Just can't spot any pattern to it.

And now I've been told that I won't be unlocked again until June.

[KnownAsHerbert]

The randomness continues. Awake at midnight, 2:45, 3:30, 4:30, and finally 5:40, every time solid as a rock. Not the best night's sleep. Emmi, as always, was like the proverbial log of course. I do love watching her sleep. I hope that doesn't sound creepy but she looks so beautiful when she's snuggled and peaceful like that.

Today I am working from home, which is a blessing, and the best news about that is that I don't have a lot left to do for the week. I'll probably be done by midday and then the weekend can start. Oh well, the sooner I start (work) the sooner I'll finish...

[KnownAsHerbert]

Where are all these one-word commands coming from?

The first was "Kneel", which means, well you all know what that one means by now. You can ask if you don't.
Now there's "Strip", which means "take all your clothes off right here, right now".
"Wait" means kneel down and wait. Even if I don't know what I'm waiting for I have to stay in position and... wait.

Lastly (for now) and the cruellest of them all, is "Come". It means "Come here because I need your help" or similar. Whatever I am doing I have to go to her to see what she wants. One thing this one doesn't mean, is 'come'.

Obeying these, instantly and without hesitation or objection, is what is required. Not doing so would not be wise.

[KnownAsHerbert]

Battling on.
I had a strange night.
After some difficult ones, last night was quite light apart from one wake-up. I was hard, but not as intensely as normal. Just tight in the cage without all the powerful surges. Even so, it was long lasting and I found myself gripping the edge of the bed to stop myself from (a) getting up (b) yelling out or (c) banging on the mattress and waking Emmi again. Despite being less intense, it was still truly frustrating.

Apart from the cage itself, I am struggling with all Emmi's rules and commands. Breaking a rule or not following a command means consequences that I don't want. This isn't what I expected. I really didn't. I had this ridiculous idea that a cage was all about controlling sex and that was it. For Emmi, it's about controlling everything. She is very methodical in how she puts that control in place too.

So there are rules, and new ones being added:
Be caring and considerate at all times (a basic of all relationships anyway of course)
Keep her satisfied at all times (comfort, well-being, and emotionally, not just sexually)
Obey all commands instantly
No asking for or about unlocking
No complaining or moaning about the cage or its effects (I can explain what I am experiencing as long as it doesn't come out like a complaint)
No touching of my balls
No phone or computer at night

She does have two levels of 'lifestyle'.
First, there's the full on level where she really calls all the shots. I'm hers to be used as she sees fit.
The second level is for practical reasons of going about our lives, when I'm at work or working from home for example, when we go shopping or work around the house or garden together. She's less strict on this level, but I am still caged and required to behave.

Technically there is a third level, which is where I am uncaged and allowed to do what I want, and even be the dominant one. I say technically because Emmi has decided that I will be caged 24/7 for the entire period of the trial (except for essential hygiene reasons, controlled orgasms and sex when appropriate), and that the trial will last a year. There will not even be a possibility of 'Level 3' until 1 April 2025.

Today began with the weekly shop, which we did together, and so was a Level 2 time. Once we got home though, I was told that I was now “hers” for the rest of the weekend, indicating that we'd moved into Level 1 operation. Before we'd even unpacked the shopping, she said one word to me. “Strip”. That's sure to mean no more clothes until Monday.

What has happened to Emmie? I am living with a woman that looks and sounds like Emmie but otherwise I hardly recognise.

Yesterday evening broke through all known boundaries with her in the chastity driving seat. I have a technology curfew – no more phone or computer use. No set time, it's just when she announced it. Yesterday I was told to shut the computer down and put my phone away, as it was time for “other things”. I was already naked as is usual for weekends at home and I watched Emmi take the key from around her neck and hand it to me. “You're not allowed to come, understand?” she said. I said that I understood and was told to take the Nub off, which of course I did.

“All fours” was all she said.

I got on the floor and she sat beside me, by my legs, and began to stroke my bum, reminding me that I wasn't allowed to come.

“You're to hold it back and not come. If you think you might be about to, just say 'Stop', ok?”
Me: “Ok”

She moved her hand down, between my legs and held my balls, giving them a tug downwards. Somehow, and despite already having become erect, that instantly got me intensely much harder still. Then she started to rub my cock and oh my God, I was about to come almost immediately, only a few seconds, not more than 5 at the most and had to say 'Stop'.

Emmi laughed and said “That was quick” but let go of my cock whilst still holding me by the balls. After a few seconds, when I had calmed down a bit:

Em: Ok, let's try again. Say 'stop' if you feel like you're about to come.
Me: Ok.

Pulling down hard on my balls she began stroking my cock again and I fought to 'hold it' until I couldn't take any more and yelled out 'stop'. I think this time lasted a little longer. She took her time before starting again, gently at first and building up until 'Stop'. This time even after she'd let go I had to make the effort to 'keep it in', but I did manage.

I think we cycled through this about five times in all and somehow, how I really don't know, I managed not to come. Probably because like on the first cycle, I called stop early on each time, well before the point of no return. I don't think she let go of my balls once and kept giving them little tugs every now and again. Can't believe the massive effect that had. Almost enough to come on its own. Maybe it is enough, but she didn't take it that far, I don't know.

After the last time, still twitching but subsiding, we sat on the floor and she kissed me and said “Well done. I hope you enjoyed that.” I said that I did but obviously wished, secretly in my head, that it had gone further and she'd finished me off. "Might do it again sometime" she added.

Finally I was handed the ring of the Nub and told to put it back on. The Nub's ring is solid, not hinged or anything, and getting everything through it takes patience and use of a particular technique, balls through one at a time, and then the cock has to be squished in last. Balls in ok, but my God I almost came getting my cock in there and had to stop for a moment and try again. Eventually, the ring was on and I was given the cage. “Put it on” she said. I did as I was told and then took the lock from her, put it in place and turned the key. I handed the key back to Emmi and she put it on the chain around her neck again. She smiled and said "All safe and secure again" and cupped my balls in her hand as she said "I caught you touching these again today, after all the warnings during the week as well. So today doesn't count as a day towards your release date."

I was lost for words after that. Disappointed to be back in the cage without having come and wanting it off again straight away. I would have got relief right there on the spot I think. But that was not to be. The cage was locked and I had to wait until she decided to do the same again or I reached my target to be let out when I would get to actually come. And now I had to go through the night-time routine and try to settle down for some sleep. Only after going down to satisfy Emmi first. It was a hard night.
