He heard the yelp and instinctively turned to locate the source. Spinning around, he watched, as did the rest of the shoppers, as a saleswoman threw a pair of flimsy pants to the floor and a male stood absolutely naked in the midst of the shoppers. He struggled to cover his obviously engorged penis with his hands as his Mistress stood off to the side with a sneer of disgust across her face. The male note-taker shied away from the distraction and the saleswoman glared at the doorman as he strode with determination to the altercation. With evidence of a practiced art, the huge doorman grasped one wrist, locked it in a leather handcuff, and pressed it uncomfortably in the middle of the naked man's back. Sliding the other to meet it, he cuffed the man solidly so that his genitals were fully displayed for the amusement and entertainment of the women shoppers in the store. The staff acted as if nothing had happened and within moments, the store was again quiet with the saleswoman taking accurate and efficient measurements of the horrified man's penis, testicles, and inseam. Jotting down the numbers she called out, the male assistant suppressed a smirk and kept writing without looking too hard at the newest disciplined customer. Brad's mouth fell wide open and his brain tried to absorb what he had witnessed. He knew now that he would have to acquiesce to the saleswoman's demands without argument. He could not take the humiliation that accompanied being handcuffed in full view of casual customers. In spite of his awkward feelings of degradation, Brad's penis had a mind of its own and continued rising high and drawing his thin pants farther away from his body. "Stand up straight," the saleswoman directed toward him. "I need accurate measurements," she chided as her male assistant's mouth began its upward turn. Brad felt a hand grab the waistband of his greens and he screamed silently to his maleness and pleaded with it to descend. There was a rip of velcro and Brad felt the air hit his skin with a sudden rush. The pants were tossed to the floor and his errant erection debased him totally. His wife smiled. The male assistant smirked broadly. The saleswoman ignored it. "Happens all the time," she casually mentioned as she used a stiff ruler to slap his inside thighs and force his legs apart. With no warning, she cupped his testicles and pulled them from between his upper thighs and dropped them without expression. His penis pointed directly at her gaze and she ignored it with unbelievable professionalism. "The Mistress would prefer strapping or caging?" she inquired to his wife. "Perhaps both," she responded, "or perhaps we should add studded leather. I'm just not sure." "We can accommodate your wishes," the saleswoman replied and grasped Brad's genitals. Pulling them toward herself, she dragged the sputtering man toward the wall of wide doors and after opening one, pulled him inside. The dressing room! Of course! At least he could have some privacy in this ludicrous situation. Brad wanted to kiss the saleswoman's feet for her kindness of solitude and her rescuing him from his nakedness in the store. His eyes wandered the fitting room and focused on several items of interest. The mirrors that filled three walls were polished and gleamed from the overhead spotlights. A single chair sat on the floor and next to it was a small end table with simple hors-d'oeuvres and a wineglass. The only other remarkable feature of the room was the pedestal in the center of the floor to which Brad was directed. Stepping gingerly upon the two-foot platform, Brad stood naked and silent under the harsh glare of overhead lighting. The saleswoman gave him a single direction. "Stand absolutely still. I'll be right back." With that, she left the naked and chagrined man alone in the dressing room to stare at his body in the three full-length mirrors. As she walked through the door, she swung it closed behind her. It almost latched. Brad stared at the door and watched as it gently fell outward and threatened to expose him once again to the crowd outside. He stood and waited as he had been instructed. Hearing soft music and smelling the fragrance of sweet vanilla, Brad watched his penis evolve into a purple protruding rod that pointed perpendicular from his lower abdomen. He hung his head in submission as he recognized that she had beaten him. He was her property and she was his Mistress. With no escape, no chance for release, no support of friends or acquaintances, and no knowledge of what his wife had in store for him, Brad allowed the minutes to tick away and he offered no retaliation against his plight. The door swung open and both his wife and the saleswoman entered. The two were talking with each other, having a good time and ignoring him completely. Brad's wife sat in the single chair and sipped wine while the saleswoman watched her assistant carry a full armload of leather, metal and rubber for him to model. With both arms full, the assistant struggled into the small room but left the wide door completely open. Brad's chagrined face turned crimson while his penis remained purple. His body was a sensual palette of color and his shame could not be overcome. He stood naked, beaten and defeated, as his wife and her saleswoman examined the choices. Every kind of leather gear was harnessed on his body during that session. He was dressed in, at different times, a plain as well as a studded collar; thigh, ankle and wrist cuffs; a metal spreader bar between his legs; criss-crossed chest straps; several different kinds of masks; a variety of nipple clamps; and at least four pair of wobbly high-heeled shoes. The frantic pace of their outfitting him, stripping and then outfitting him again overcame Brad's sense of shame at being fully exposed in front of these strangers. The aroma of the leather overflowed his nostrils and the clink of the ringing chains surprised him with its sensuality. His unfortunate penis was still engorged, bearing unspeakable testimony to his arousal. She made various selections from among the leather, rubber and metal outfits he had modeled and Brad drew a deep sigh of relief, believing his ordeal was nearing conclusion. When he saw the male assistant return to his cubicle carrying yet another armload--this time of sealed boxes--his brief relief turned dramatically into apprehension. There was only one area of his body that had not yet been outfitted and Brad's skin began to ooze perspiration in anticipation of his wife's next torment for him. Speaking directly to his wife, the saleswoman described her wares. "We have a variety of anal plugs," she began without either trepidation or hesitancy, "to fit a variety of circumstances. I can show you inflexible models in all colors, some of which offer protrusions for increased stimulation. In addition, we carry electronic plugs that vibrate and produce significant sensations for the wearer. Further, I can show you flexible models that can be twisted and turned to stimulate appropriate organs and intensify the arousal. Finally..." the woman paused and with great relish licked her lips and lowered her voice to a husky, enticing pitch, "there is a new model. One which is configured especially for the wearer. It features surgical steel inside and a covering that is molded polymer. The important new aspect of this model is that it is fit directly into your..." the woman hesitated for the briefest of pauses, "male's body. We can do the fitting here," she added flippantly. "If you had him fitted right now," she looked at her watch, "you could take it home with you in an hour." She paused, finished with her sales pitch, waiting for the shopper to decide. Brad stood naked and motionless while his wife considered the options offered by the saleswoman. The personally fitted plug frightened him and the "personal fitting" filled his being with dread. He had an uncontrollable urge to fling his hands down to protect his cheeks from impending torture, and he had a mental flash to his youth when he tried to conceal his buttocks from his mother's firm hand in spanking. Of course, he probably deserved the spanking, he believed, but he nonetheless struggled against it. His wife's voice interrupted his daydream. "Do you have any belts?" she inquired. "And, of course, let's not forget his panties." Brad's ears picked up her request: panties! That was the item that brought them to this unusual store and she would not let him escape without subjecting him to this final indignity. The leather, rubber and metal outfits were fine for their at-home love-making; however, the idea of wearing "panties" to the OR let loose a flood of conflicting and painful thoughts in Brad's brain. There was no way he could undress in the locker room and reveal "panties," he insisted. Explaining them would not be suitable, he decided. But the allure of silky lingerie next to his nude genitals and buttocks filled his senses with a warm feeling of gladness. He wanted to experience the soft rub of silk on his skin; he was eager to palpate his penis within its almost sheer housing. Daring to peer down at his wife's face, he noticed a small smile curl her upper lip. "Let's see," the saleswoman began. "Certainly we have an enormous selection of chastity devices, many of which are fully guaranteed. Additionally, we carry varieties of testicular strapping all devised to show off the wearer's endowment." She glanced at Brad's naked genitals as if measuring them against a perfect standard and frowning only the slightest, added, "We carry them in all sizes. Perhaps you should dress him in a small or a medium." Brad wanted to die, right there on the pedestal in the dressing room. Small! How could she measure his male pride and come up with the word "small?" He had always been proud of his endowment and he certainly hadn't let down any of his partners, had he? His wife never complained... The shock hit him full in the face. She was complaining now! She was telling him that his size didn't satisfy her. She was letting him know that sex with him was not all she wanted it to be. She was telling him, without regret or shyness, that she wanted MORE! Brad evaluated his situation and considered his options. He wanted her desperately. He loved having sex with her, touching her, holding her and smelling her. Right now, he wanted her more than anything else on earth. But at the same time, she wanted him in panties and leather. Could he reconcile these two alternatives? His ears heard her voice break the silence. "Let's see one of the guaranteed chastity devices. And I'd like a selection of panties. Oh yes, let's have him fitted at the end of this session." "Very good," the saleswoman noted as her assistant jotted notes on the clipboard. She turned and fumbled through the boxes, lifting two and setting them on the counter. Sending her assistant to the sales floor to obtain his "selection" of panties, she turned her attention to Brad's wife. "We'll secure him first," she began ominously, "and then you can evaluate the devices. May I suggest you retire to the coffee area while I ready your husband for his fitting?" Brad's wife stood, thanked the saleswoman and exited the dressing room. She never turned to her husband and acknowledged his presence. Alone with the saleswoman, Brad's heart began to pound in his chest. Her demeanor, height, carefully applied makeup, perfectly coifed hair and long red fingernails reminded him of a junior high teacher he had his first crush on. When other boys dreamt about playing baseball, Brad played with himself and imagined having his way with his math teacher. There were times in class he prayed she would not call him to the board and reveal to the entire class his uncontrollable hard-on. He did very well in math that year. The placid saleswoman evolved into a sinister force in the cubicle. Her directions and tone indicated she had plenty of experience with reluctant males before. Short and to the point, she commanded Brad into position. "Hands up!" she directed. "Feet spread apart shoulder width. Turn and face me." As Brad jumped into position, he felt himself upright but spread-eagle and absolutely vulnerable to anything the saleswoman wanted to do to him. With his back to the mirrors, Brad felt the rush of air as the door flung open and the male assistant entered. Taking in Brad's absolute nakedness with an appreciating eye, he placed the merchandise securely on the small table and leapt onto the small platform. Grabbing hanging cuffs and securing them onto Brad's wrists and bending low to secure his ankles in similar restraints, the assistant had Brad shackled completely in a matter of seconds. Unable to move except to wiggle his torso, Brad fought against his confinement and twisted his body as far as his restraints would allow. Grunting and groaning in agony of imprisonment, Brad managed only to jiggle his dangling organs in an odd dance of useless defiance. Both the saleswoman and her assistant smirked at his unproductive efforts. "The waist bar," she casually mentioned and her assistant jumped to obey. With a soft whirr of a motor filling his ears, Brad saw a metal bar protrude from the wall and envelop his chest. The jaws circled his lower chest and clamped shut, insuring that he could not move any part of his body from the position the saleswoman required of him. The assistant began unwrapping packages and standing various plugs on the table behind Brad's backside. Uncapping a huge tube, he took a large dollop of gel in his palm and pressed his open palm between Brad's ass cheeks. Tensing, Brad fought the intrusion. By flexing his gluteal muscles, he attempted to dissuade the assistant's entry but the saleswoman, noticing her charge's dilemma, swatted Brad's naked penis once with an open hand and Brad immediately thought better of his actions. Relaxing his backside, Brad felt the assistant intrude into his darkest region and lubricate his passage with the oily substance. When the man's finger attempted to enter his rectum, Brad fought gallantly but with full knowledge that no escape was possible. The saleswoman leveled criticism at the struggling doctor. "If you do not allow the lubrication, you will experience intense pain. Do you want pain?" Brad's eyes filled with tears as he conceded defeat. Forcing himself to breathe deeply and pretend it was his yearly physical, Brad ceased struggling and allowed the intruder entry. The discomforting feeling of fullness concentrated itself in his lower quarters. He felt the finger poke and prod, enter and leave, flex and pull until every corner of his insides was oiled and ready. Finally, thankfully, the finger left Brad's body. Utterly humiliated, Brad hung his head in shame and allowed the tears to flow. "Press it against the entry," the saleswoman said, "and expel the plunger. I'll clock the fitting." When he thought he could not take any more, Brad was forced to endure another unwanted explosion into his anus. He felt a hardness press into his hole and then, without warning, a rush of cold liquid was propelled into his inner sanctum. He struggled against expelling the contents and utterly humiliating himself in the dressing room as he took deep even breaths trying to control his twitching rectum. The saleswoman looked at her watch. Finally, after an interminable period of waiting and struggling, Brad heard her utter the most welcome pronouncement. "It's time," she said simply. With his back to the mirrors, Brad couldn't see the assistant grasp the steel rod that protruded slightly from Brad's anal area and pull straight downward. He felt the ghastly exit of the plug that was inserted exactly to the contours of his rectum. Thanking them silently for the lubrication, Brad contended with his agonized bowels and infuriated hole as the saleswoman stepped behind him and inspected for any damage. Seeing none, she instructed her assistant once again. "Set out the panties for her inspection," she directed. "Then go to the coffee area and invite the customer to return." Ignoring Brad's whimpering, the saleswoman went about the business of straightening up the dressing room as the assistant exited in search of the paying customer. To Brad's horror, he left the door open again. Customers passing by his dressing room viewed Brad in his absolute nakedness. Some of the males accompanying their women smirked at his plight. The woman barely gave Brad a second glance. With his arms secured above his head, his feet spread wide and shackled, his chest secured tightly by a giant claw, Brad was the picture of restraint. Only his eyes filled with fear gave away his inner emotions. For a full 5 minutes, customers passed by the open door. Finally, Brad's wife returned and feigned surprise when she noticed the tight bondage in which he was constricted. Admiring the handiwork, she complimented the saleswoman on her lingerie choices and held up different silky panties in front of Brad's nude pelvis as if dressing him with her mind and imagining which colors and styles she preferred. She threw down several of them and handed even more to the saleswoman's eager hand. "We'll take these," she concluded. "I'll have your selections wrapped," the saleswoman replied and exited the small room. His wife turned and stared into Brad's burning eyes. "You will wear these panties to the hospital," she declared, "and if asked, you will tell anyone that you have a skin condition that requires natural fibers that are soft. Otherwise, you will say nothing to anyone about your new clothes." Brad sighed. "Remember, if you want any rewards, you will obey all my wishes. Do you understand?" Exhausted, Brad hung limply from his restraints. She asked again, "Do you understand!!" It was not a question this time. Brad managed to shake his head up and down. "Speak!" she ordered and added, "politely!" His lips did not want to obey his mind's command. Desperately wanting to be released from his bonds, he managed a small grunt that sounded like Yes to him. But it wasn't good enough for her. "Until you answer me clearly and politely, you can hang there. I don't care," she turned and exited through the open door, leaving it open to further his agony of degradation. Brad wanted that door closed more than he wanted anything else in his life. "Yes!!" he called after her, "YES! I understand!" Smiling, she swung around and peered directly into his eyes. That's a beginning, she thought, but announced, "It's time to go home." Brad managed the smallest of smiles and hung limply while he waited for the assistant to enter and loose his bonds. With his feet stretched uncomfortably apart and his legs aching from the strain, Brad concentrated on his stinging backside's anguish. Finally, he was unshackled and returned to his wife. It was hard for him not to notice that several other naked men were likewise being returned to their women and seated on hard chairs next to each customer who was signing her charge card slip. Some men were crying; others simply sported red eyes that spoke volumes of each man's ordeal. Brightly wrapped boxes were placed in each man's hands and naked carriers struggled with their boxes to each woman's car. With the help of the doorman, the packages were placed in each car's trunk and a lineup of naked men returned to the store each for his own clothes. Settling finally into his wife's red convertible, Brad searched her eyes for answers. She offered him only one. "It is time for you to recognize my needs," she began. "I've taken care of yours for years. We will play according to my rules for a little while. If you seem to enjoy it, I'll consider sending you to the training facility Debbie told me about..." with that, she drove off. Brad felt his maleness fill rapidly with sensual joy. His choices seemed clear. Either he did it her way or he didn't do it at all. If Ron, Debbie's husband, was any example of a happy guy, Brad felt he would be happy to go to the same facility and learn what Ron called the best few weeks of my life. From Ron's constant smile, Brad imagined that this alternative was the best one for him, his wife and their future together. She reached out and grabbed his velcro pants. "Up!" she ordered as she struggled to lift his bottom from the car seat. She yanked off the flimsy pants and tossed a single box toward him. "Put on the purple silk panties," she commanded. "And nothing else." The two of them drove home in the exciting silence of anticipation.
