Master sets all the toys on the table.
“This is the experiment. They stay in. Most of the day, every day. You don’t get to take them out except to use the bathroom or when I say. They’ll be on a low, irregular pulse so you never quite settle. That’s the point.”

The submissive nods, already flushed.
“Yes.”

“Good. In they go.”

A pause while they’re seated and switched on. A faint, uneven buzz starts.

“You’ll wear them at work, on the train, in meetings, while you cook, while you sleep if I leave them running. You don’t come unless I allow it. You don’t ask to take them out. If the battery runs out, you charge them and put them back in immediately. Understand?”

“Yes.”

“Then that’s your new normal. Constant reminder. You’re not locked away from sensation. You’re locked into it.”

Master picks up the remote, turns the pulse up one notch, and watches the submissive shift in the chair.

“Experiment starts now. Don’t disappoint me.”
