Alex 9:51 A.M.: I don’t know what sounds hotter, the sex or you standing over someone holding them like that.


Mahiro 10:02 A.M.: Sorry, got called away. It’s a different sort of thing for me, but I’ve had partners who like it, so I’ve tried it a few times. It feels too dangerous for me to do, really.


Mahiro 10:03 A.M.: Would you be interested? You said no breathplay.


Alex 10:04 A.M.: No, not that, but. I want to be totally helpless for you.


Mahiro swallows hard and pushes away from his desk. There’s no way he can focus on testing this app right now, not when Alex is asking him for exactly what Mahiro’s been longing for: total control without hesitation.


Mahiro 10:06 A.M.: If you don’t have a plug, get one. Wear it Friday. Be ready, nude, at 7:05. You can touch yourself this week, but don’t come until I give you permission. Do you understand?
