[KnownAsHerbert] New chapter

[KnownAsHerbert]

I keep telling myself that there's only five more nights but the days are definitely getting harder to deal with now too.
Then when the five nights is up, I know I'll only be getting a short spell of freedom. Unlock, sex, clean up, back in is what I anticipate again.
I've also remembered the horrible day, or was it two, after getting locked back in where I had that dull ache. I'd just about forgotten about that but I suppose it will happen again this time. Oh no....

This area of the forum is called the journey, but I think mystery tour would be more apt.

If I can be excused for borrowing someone else's title, just for once, I think I've experienced the “one step forward, two steps back” situation.

I got home from work and, as usual, had a shower to put the day's work into the past and herald in the start of the evening. Emmie, as she often does, had put some favourite/comfortable clothes out for me so once dried off, I put them on and went downstairs. I immediately discovered that we were in 'Strict' mode of operations when a loving kiss and cuddle was ended abruptly with the word “Strip”. So my nice favourite/comfortable clothes had to be removed without question or hesitation. As soon as I was naked, the second command was issued “Wait”. This means get into a kneeling position on the floor and wait. So I did. Of course.

Emmie disappeared into the kitchen and I could hear her getting started on preparing our evening meal. After an age I heard the command “Come”. This isn't anything to get excited about but just means “Come here now” so I got up and headed towards the kitchen, but as I left the living room I couldn't help noticing a shiny metal cage on the bookshelf near the door. We didn't own aa cage like this so my first thought was “Whose is this?”. I must have hesitated in the doorway because I heard “Where are you?” and I replied “I'm here” and joined her in the kitchen where I was given the task of weighing out some pasta.

Half way through eating our meal, Emm looked up at me and smiled and said “What's up?” as if she'd noticed something unusual in my behaviour. I blurted out my response, something like, “I was wondering where that cage had come from on the shelf over there.”

She couldn't hold back a chuckle, then a laugh as she told me that she had bought it and we would be trying it out after dinner. “Thought we should give metal a go” she said. “It's a bit narrower than what you're wearing now too. Hold you a little bit tighter. I hope”

So, try it out we did. I was gtiven it to lock and unlock without actually putting it on, just to see how it went together and locked. I knew it would be heavy but was still surprised at just how heavy it was, but pretty easy, I thought. Same basic idea as the Cobra, but the ring is hinged. She gave me the key and told me to take the Cobra off, which of course I did. Predictable next words were “Put it on then”.

It had been easy to assemble and lock when it was just in my hands, and getting the ring on was easy too being hinged and wide enough to just slip round everything. Trying to get the cage on and aligned and engaged with the ring was troublesome though. It obviously didn't help that I was slightly aroused of course. The skin bunched up too much and needed pulling out of the way to avoid pinching, the ring fell open unless I held it shut, and the pins on the cage wouldn't go fully into the holes without a fair amount of pressure. I decided that I needed at least three hands. Finally, it seemed to be in place but then the lock wouldn't slide in, no matter what I tried.

In all it took three attempts to get the lock in place, each time I took the whole thing off and assembled it away from my body and it worked fine so I must have got something wrong when trying to actually put it on. It turned out that one of the side pins had been going into the hole, but hadn't been pushed in firmly enough so the cylinder where the lock is supposed to slide in wasn't quite aligned. Eventually, all the obstacles were overcome and I managed to get it in palce and locked and meekly handed the key to Emm, who was smiling from ear to ear by now.

So, without any warning or consultation, I am now wearing a beautiful (Emmi's word) steel cage, which is heavy and confining with its smaller diameter cage, when compared to the lightweight Cobra Nub that I had just got used to and settled into.

This is yet another example of me finding out just how much, how totally in fact, I have lost all control. Finding out only after the changes have been put in place by my little darling, Miss Emmie as I now have to call her. She is loving every minute.

Fortunately I am working at home today.
Fortunately, that is because I woke far too early and haven't had enough sleep.
Work is fine but driving to and from is something I can do without today.

After locking up in the new cage last night (as described in my previous post below), I went to bed hard, took care of Emmi who then wanted to cuddle up to me, which is fair enough and fine but also kept me hard as I was trying to get to sleep.

As soon as it was on, I could tell that the new cage was tighter. I could feel the benefit of the smaller internal diameter. It did a great job of keeping me aroused for longer than I had got used to and of course, with less room in the cage, it definitely felt more constricting.

I did get some sleep of course, but was awake at 4am with a very firm erection attempt going on. Unable to get back to sleep, I went to make some coffee and have been awake ever since.

Is it because it's a new cage or is it simply that I have now been locked for longer than I ever have before, that I am getting hard so often during the day time as well as at night? A bit of both perhaps. There's an element of discomfort today, that I haven't had with the old Cobra Nub for a long time, so I guess there's bit of getting used to the new cage required.

What a difference! With the Cobra, I could lie down and sleep in any position, turn over without trouble and everything was securely held in place, cock pressed down into my scrotum. During the day, I could easily forget that I was wearing it. With the steel, the weight means more care. I felt the need to position it in a place where it would be comfortable (to sleep) and not flop down awkwardly with gravity. At one point in the night I found myself thinking that it felt like being one of those prisoners that had to wear a heavy ball on a chain attached to their ankle. Except that this weighty item wasn't attached to my ankle of course.

Walking around this morning, it seems to have a momentum all of its own. Sitting down I have to be careful to avoid sitting on my balls, easing everything into a comfortable position. Emmi has had a good look at it after my early morning shower and is very pleased with her new purchase.

At least today and last night counted on my chart.
Only four more nights.
I expect, unless any problems arise, they will be spent in the metal.
I miss my little Cobra already.

Oh well. Work calls. I must get on.

One of the best things about working at home is that we get to sit down and eat together in the middle of the day. And one of my favourite midday meals was provided for me today. Double cheeseburgers, cooked at home.

Sitting in the kitchen gave me the opportunity to thank Emm for what she had done, in taking the initiative to make her purchase. Told her that I was really proud of her. She's wonderful, and I told her so.

Em: You weren't angry then?
Me: No. Not at all. I was surprised. Shocked.
Em: I know. I could tell. How are you getting on with it?
Me: It's ok. No, better than ok, it's fine but will take a bit of getting used to.
Em: Awww. Well done Herbi. I thought you might not like it, but I think it has some plus points.
Me: Tell me what are the plus points for you?
Em: Time will tell, but it looks easier to keep clean, long term. Hopefully easier for you to pee.
Me: I'd agree with you on those. Anything else?
Em: Looks nice. Smaller width so it holds you better. I like the thinner bars. Can see you inside it better.

Me: I'm glad you like it. I do too, really I do.
Em: Anything you don't like about it?
Me: Not that I can think of. It's heavy, but I'll get used to that. And I suppose it was a bit more fiddly to get on.
Em: It was a bit (with a giggle) but you're not going to be taking it off and putting it back on all that often so I think we'll manage.

Happy smiles, kiss and hug. Back to work. Hope I can finish by about 4pm today.

Congrats on the new metal cage. They do shift some when sleeping and require adjustments during the night. As a suggestion, on eBay, they sell elastic straps that go around the waist and snap onto the ring. Holds the cage in position up against the body. Average price $8.00 US. I have found these straps to be very helpful in my sleeping and keeps everything lined up for those midnight trips to the bathroom. Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I found turning over during the night, the weight of the thing makes it flop over in the direction of turning and it needs 'sorting out' to get comfortable again. Apart from that it was ok though. I guess it's just different to the Cobra that was so light and held close against the body all the time.

The wobbling during the day is going to take a bit of getting used to as well. Used to forget that the Cobra was even there. The steel cage gives lots of reminders!

Yesterday didn't count towards 'locked days' so my unlocking has been delayed until Tuesday.
It was supposed to be Monday and I've no idea why I thought it was going to be Wednesday as I wrote in a previous post.
Maybe cage fever has addled my brain...

Anyway, time to cook brekkie.

[Mr Pickle]

Tuesday must be a thing? I've been put off till Tuesday now before my real lockup starts.
Looks like we're in the same boat, although your boat is quite a bit smaller. I might just wave rather than join you.

Welcome to the knight club .
Knights protect their lady.
They are gallant and protect them against everything, and they also ensure that they do not lack anything.

Understand that it takes some time to get used to wearing a metal harness.
But it does protect you better against possible attacks from outside.

The promised 22 nights, extended by 'penalties' to 26 came to an end yesterday evening and also as promised, Miss Emmie allowed me one orgasm.

Shower after work as usual but without the cage. She supervised and then helped me to dry off, telling me that she wasn't going to put the cage on for a while but I was not under any circumstances to touch myself in the meantime. “I won't Miss Emmie”. She smiled and just said “Kneel”.

After my kneeling duty, I was led to the bedroom when Miss Emmie stripped off completely, got onto the bed and said “Make me come again, and no touching yourself”. I was completely rigid and ready to come of course, but gave her the second orgasm that she demanded, before being allowed to enter her, when she came yet again and I got my one and only shot. Luxury and bliss of PIV. I was surprised that I lasted until after her orgasm but somehow I did. After resting, kissing, cuddling, for a while I was getting hard again but there wasn't any point. She wasn't going to change her mind about the limit of one. I had a nice soak in the bath (supervised again) and after that, I was handed the cage.

So from that point on I was back in the steel but already wanting more. Straining against the bars as we had dinner, and at intervals through the rest of the evening, and worst of all during the night. It wasn't the best night's sleep and I'd even leaked a bit at some point. Still hard this morning. The caption “Once is not enough” bouncing around in my head.

Miss Emmie hasn't given any indication about when the next unlocking is to be. That's a little unsettling. I'm not allowed to ask, so I'll just try to get on with my day's work and not wonder too deeply about it. I've also got to try to ignore my cock's attempts to get some more of the freedom that it enjoyed. It's yet to realise that the moment is over I think.
