The Countess and the Caretaker - Part Eight. When the Countess entered the living area, she found a nervous man, studying his fingernails very closely. She liked to have the upper hand, and always to maintain the element of surprise, so she moved silently behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. He nearly jumped out of his skin, but she kept the initiative and started to unzip his flies. He opened his mouth to speak but she gently laid a finger on his lips to silence him, then she carefully unbuckled his belt and dropped his trousers to the floor, revealing the knickers. It was at this moment that the maid stepped forward and took the photograph, the flash temporarily disorientating him. In the space of a few seconds the Countess had produced a pair of handcuffs and had locked his wrists behind his back. He took a startled step forward and fell onto a long sofa next to him. It had all happened so fast, and now she had a photograph of him in the knickers as well. His predicament amused the Countess, who was smiling down at him as he struggled to free himself. He was, of course wasting his time. The maid then passed a leather sheath to her Mistress and left, taking the camera with her. The Countess carefully pulled his knickers down and proceeded to fit the sheath to his flaccid penis. Any lust he had been feeling had disappeared with the fear he felt at his predicament. This was substantially increased, when he realised that the leather she was lacing around his penis had very sharp metal spikes protruding from the inside. * (see footnote) Finally, two leather straps were buckled into place and small padlocks attached to make it irremovable, a fact that she was at great pains to stress, along with the fact that it would control his lust. It was after all his failure to control himself that had first brought him to her attention, and she reminded him of their first encounter, of his punishment and of his subsequent erection when she stood over him in the lift. The punishment had obviously not deterred him from behaving in such a rude manner in the presence of a lady, but this little device certainly would. She helped him to sit up, removed his trousers completely and gently pushed him to the floor, so that he was kneeling next to the sofa. While he was wondering what was going to happen next, he started to get the stirring of an erection. Fear of the spikes gripped his mind and little beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead - he wriggled uncomfortably and thought about mending the plumbing. This thankfully seemed to do the trick and he relaxed again. The Countess, meanwhile, had strolled calmly across the room and was searching her music collection. She decided on a Rachmaninov piano concerto, and, satisfied with the volume, she came back and sat on the sofa next to her prey. She then raised her skirt, giving a brief display of her stocking tops and then grabbed his head, placed it between her thighs and replaced her skirt. His head was now completely enveloped by warm flesh and leather. It was thus that he spent the evening, struggling with the constant threat of an erection and the dire consequences of having one. He found that the device was, indeed, extremely efficient at controlling his 'lust'. The Countess, on the other hand, spent a relaxing evening listening to her music and thoroughly enjoying the predicament of the poor Caretaker she had so cleverly manipulated into his present position. She was aware of his constant struggle against his natural inclinations, but was determined to teach him a lesson he would never forget. When the music finished, she stood up, suddenly bringing him back to reality with a jolt. She smiled sweetly, unlocked his handcuffs, gave him back his trousers and then proceeded to inform him that she would remove the leather device tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. She then turned and left him alone. The maid reappeared, waited politely while he put his trousers back on and then showed him out. Once again he found himself outside her apartment, before he had time to think. He had just spent the most difficult evening with a lady he had ever experienced, and he still had to get through until the next morning before he could relax. Or could he? What might she do next? He walked carefully down to his apartment and poured himself a stiff whisky. It was going to be a long night.
