The Night My Wife Showed Me Off to Her Friends

My name matters less than what I’m about to tell you. I’m thirty-eight years old, slender, with dark hair going slightly gray at the temples, and I lead a life that seems completely normal from the outside. I work in finance. I have a large apartment on the outskirts of town. I’ve been married to Valeria for seven years.

What nobody knows is that beneath my dress pants, I was wearing a steel chastity cage that night. Three weeks and four days locked inside it. I know exactly because I count them. Every morning when I shower, every afternoon when I sit at my desk, every night when I try to sleep with that cold metal pressing against my skin and my body with no possible way out. My cock tries to swell inside the steel and can’t, the ring bites at the base, my balls grow tight and heavy, and that pressure that never ends becomes a constant hum that follows you everywhere.

Valeria is thirty-five, with black shoulder-length hair and a way of looking at you that makes you feel exactly as small as she wants you to feel. When she smiles at me with that slow curve of her lips, I know she’s thinking about something she hasn’t told me yet. That night she was wearing a tight wine-colored dress with a plunging neckline, and hanging between her breasts from a thin silver chain was the key to my cage.

She always wears it there. It’s a detail only I know—or so I thought until that night.

She had organized a dinner for her three closest friends. Clara, brunette and sharp-tongued, who works in law and has a habit of asking questions that are really accusations. Nadia, small and loud, with a laugh that fills any room and a curiosity that knows no limits. And Sofía, curvy and direct, who always seems to be assessing everything in front of her with a gaze that asks permission for nothing.

For the occasion, Valeria had hired staff. Two young, athletic waiters, and a cook who ran the open kitchen with the silent efficiency of someone who never needs to ask permission for anything. The first waiter was tall and blond, with a smile that seemed perfectly rehearsed. The second was darker and quieter, with eyes that moved slowly but missed nothing.

I played the perfect host. White shirt buttoned neatly, dress pants, champagne glass in hand whenever appropriate. I smiled at the right moments, refilled glasses when they emptied, played the part Valeria expected of me in front of people. The cold metal of the cage dug in with every step. Three weeks of confinement produce a kind of constant hum in the body, a frustration that colors everything and turns every brush of contact into a small, inescapable torture.

Dinner was long and, in its own way, pleasant. The cook had prepared fish with a sauce that smelled of white wine and herbs, followed by meat that fell apart on its own. Champagne flowed. The four women talked about work, travel, an exhibition they had seen the week before. The laughter came and went with the ease of people who know one another well and don’t need to construct a conversation. I stayed close, serving, clearing plates, being useful in exactly the right measure.

Every so often, Valeria cast me a look from the other end of the table. She said nothing. She only looked, with that calm of hers that sometimes frightens me more than anger.

***

It was after dinner, when they had all moved to the sofa with their glasses and the conversation had grown more intimate, that Valeria said what she said.

—You know, girls, I’m completely spoiled. Marcos is the most obedient husband you can imagine. Literally anything, without hesitation, without talking back.

She toyed with the chain between her fingers as she said it. Clara arched a perfectly plucked eyebrow.

—Anything? That’s saying a lot.

—Prove it—Nadia said, with that short laugh of hers. —Make him do something outrageous.

Sofía leaned forward, her elbows on her knees.

—Something truly humiliating. Make him strip. Here, right now, in front of all of us.

No. She can’t be thinking of asking me that. Not with the waiters here, with the cook ten meters away, with all these people watching.

But Valeria was already looking at me. She caught my eyes from the sofa with the calm she had spent years perfecting.

—What do you think, darling? Are you going to say yes?

My throat closed. The champagne I’d drunk sat motionless in my stomach.

—Valeria... please... there are people here—I managed to say quietly, as if the volume could change anything.

—There are four people who matter to me—she replied without raising her voice—and two waiters who are paid for discretion.

Clara smiled but said nothing. Nadia was already looking toward where I stood, anticipating what would happen. Sofía’s fingernail traced a slow circle around the rim of her glass.

—If you refuse—Valeria continued, with that perfectly controlled inflection she uses when she isn’t negotiating—I’ll add a month to your confinement. Maybe two. Imagine how that’s going to feel a week from now.

There was no need to imagine it. I already knew how it felt. Three weeks create a need that seeps into your dreams, that turns the brush of clothing against your skin into something you have to manage every moment. Another month was unthinkable.

I swallowed. The soft crackle of the fireplace filled the silence.

I crossed the room on legs that didn’t quite respond properly.

—Come here, in the center—Valeria said.

I positioned myself where she indicated. All four women were looking at me. The blond waiter had stopped near the bar with a half-dried glass in his hand. The cook remained at her station, but she was no longer looking at the stovetops.

—The shirt first. Fold it and leave it on the coffee table.

My fingers found the first button. They were trembling slightly; I tried not to let it show. The fabric opened and slid over my shoulders with a whisper. The cold air in the room raised gooseflesh on my arms. I folded the shirt carefully and placed it on the glass tabletop.

—The pants.

The buckle of my belt sounded far too loud in the silence that had fallen over the room. I slid the pants down my legs and folded them too. I was left in underwear and black dress socks. The ridiculousness of the situation was perfectly clear to me and, judging by Nadia’s smile, to her as well.

—The boxers—Valeria said. —You can keep the socks on.

The socks. Of course. To make it even more absurd.

I lowered my underwear slowly and remained standing where I was.

The steel cage was exposed beneath the lamplight. It gleamed coldly. The ring squeezed at the base with the constant pressure I could already feel even when I wasn’t thinking about it. My balls hung beneath it, swollen and heavy, the skin stretched taut from three weeks without releasing anything. And because the situation was exactly what it was—because being locked up for three weeks and having your wife order you to strip in front of her friends is something the body processes in a way logic can’t quite explain—there was a thick, transparent drop hanging from the tip of the cage, a viscous thread of pre-cum slowly stretching toward the floor.

—Look—Sofía said, leaning forward slightly. —Completely full. His cock is dripping inside the metal.

Clara let out a sound somewhere between laughter and astonishment.

—He begged you not to do it and now look at him—she said to Valeria. —Fascinating. Look at his face and look down there; they’re not saying the same thing.

Nadia said nothing. She simply ran her eyes over me from head to toe, wearing the expression of someone taking notes to store away somewhere.

—Give him a turn—Clara asked Valeria.

—Turn around, Marcos. Slowly. Let them see your ass too.

I turned around. The air in the room felt heavy. My face burned. Sofía’s fingernail traveled along my hip with a light, almost casual touch, as though she were checking something, and then moved down along the curve of my ass with the same leisurely patience. Nadia rose from the sofa, approached barefoot across the rug, and tapped the cage lightly with her fingertip, drawing an involuntary gasp from me: the metal vibrated, the ring pressed in, my balls bounced against the steel, and the pain and something that wasn’t only pain mingled in an instant that lasted too long. Another thick drop fell to the floor between my feet. Nadia laughed softly and tapped it again, this time underneath, against my balls, and I doubled over slightly with a moan I couldn’t swallow.

—His balls are swollen like rocks—Nadia commented, with calm fascination. —Touch them, Clara.

Clara stood as well. Her cool fingers weighed my balls with almost clinical curiosity, squeezing lightly and rolling them between thumb and forefinger while I bit my lip to keep from making more noise. Sofía came closer from the other side and ran her nails along the inside of my thigh, moving slowly upward until they brushed the base of the cage.

—Look how he’s trembling—Sofía said. —It takes nothing. We touch him with two fingers and he doesn’t know where to put himself.

The laughter mingled with the crackle of the fire.

—Absolutely obedient—Valeria pronounced, with quiet satisfaction. —And absolutely pathetic. Which is exactly how he’s supposed to be.

I remained standing, naked except for my dress socks, while the conversation began to flow around me again as if I weren’t there, or as if I were simply part of the furniture. They talked about other things. They forgot me with the same naturalness with which one forgets a painting on the wall. The blond waiter passed twice to refill glasses without looking me in the face, though his smile never disappeared. The cook watched from the kitchen island with her arms crossed and an expression that wasn’t quite neutral.

Valeria made me fetch napkins. She made me stand still while she searched for the key between her breasts, slowly and deliberately, making it swing before my eyes for a second that stretched longer than necessary.

—Not yet—she said, and tucked it away again.

***

When the evening had been in that phase for nearly an hour, Valeria looked at the blond waiter, who was stacking glasses near the bar.

—What’s your name?

—Adrián—he replied, without stopping smiling.

—Adrián. —Valeria set her glass down gently. —How would you feel about staying a little longer?

The silence that followed had a particular texture. Adrián didn’t answer immediately. His gaze moved from Valeria to me and back to Valeria.

—That depends on what you need.

—I need you to fuck me in front of my husband—she said bluntly, in the same voice she might have used to order another bottle of wine. —And I want you to put it in deep, without holding back at all. All three of you, if that’s all right with you—she added, looking at the dark-haired waiter too and toward the cook, whose stern expression had melted into something more like interest. —There’s enough for everyone.

What began next was something no one can possibly prepare for, not even when you’ve spent years knowing it might happen.

Valeria took Adrián by the hand and led him to the sofa without looking at me. Her wine-colored dress rode up when he gently pushed her against the cushions. His hands on the fabric, her back arching. She gestured silently for me to move to the corner.

—From there—she said. —Don’t move. And don’t miss a thing.

I went to the corner. The cage squeezed with every heartbeat.

Adrián pulled her dress up to her waist. Valeria wasn’t wearing anything underneath. The lamplight fell across the inside of her spread thighs, over the already-shiny, shaved pussy I hadn’t even touched in three weeks. Adrián lowered his pants with contained haste, and his hard cock sprang upward, thick, the tip already red, much bigger than mine even without a cage. Valeria looked at it with a small approving gesture, licked her lips without the slightest discretion, and reached out to wrap her fingers around it.

—Look what my husband is missing—she said, looking at me, not him. —Come on, darling, look closely.

She stroked his cock slowly two or three times, the tip already dripping. Then she guided it to her mouth and swallowed it in one motion, all the way to the base, with a wet, deep sound that filled the living room. Adrián let out a hoarse moan and grabbed her hair with both hands. She let him set the pace, her throat opening for him, saliva running from the corner of her mouth to her chin and down her neck, while she looked at me from the back of the sofa with narrowed eyes and a smile around his cock that made me clench my fists against the wall.

When she had him hard enough, she pulled away with a wet smack, wiped the back of her hand over her mouth, and spread her legs.

—Put it in me now. No condom. Just the way I ask for it.

Adrián positioned himself between her thighs and thrust in with one push. Valeria threw her head back with a short, high cry and dug her nails into his back. His cock slid all the way in to the base, then came almost all the way out, then plunged back in, and the sofa began thudding against the wall with a dry rhythm. Valeria’s breasts spilled above the neckline of her dress with every thrust, her nipples hard as rocks. Her legs closed around him, her heels digging into his hips, demanding that he go deeper.

—That’s it—she panted. —Break me, don’t be gentle, fuck me hard; I haven’t had anything in weeks.

Adrián lifted one of her legs, rested it on his shoulder, and folded her almost in half to get even farther inside. Each thrust produced a sharp slap of skin against skin and a wet sound that filled the room. I watched from the corner, the cage digging in, my balls burning, my own cock trying to harden inside the steel and accomplishing nothing but making the pain worse. I felt the pulsing in my temples, my neck, the trapped tip. Another thread of fluid ran down the metal.

Nadia, meanwhile, had not been wasting time. She had dragged the dark-haired waiter onto the rug, opened his pants with quick fingers, and was now straddling him with her skirt bunched at her waist, rising and falling with her mouth open in a sound that grew higher with every movement. His hands had pushed up her blouse and were squeezing her small breasts without gentleness, pulling at her nipples while she impaled herself all the way down again and again. The dark-haired man’s cock slid in and out, slick and dark between her thighs, and Nadia moaned senseless words with her head thrown back until she folded forward and bit his shoulder when the first wave shook her from head to toe.

—Keep going—she demanded without stopping her movements. —Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop.

At the other end of the sofa, the cook had taken off her white coat and was wearing, just as I had suspected from the beginning, a perfectly fitted black leather harness around her hips. A thick, dark silicone cock hung from the harness, gleaming beneath the light. Clara was bent over the arm of the sofa, her skirt pulled up over her back, her panties hanging from one ankle, and the cook was thrusting the artificial cock inside her with a slow, merciless rhythm that made Clara’s legs visibly tremble with every thrust. Her hands gripped Clara’s hips firmly enough to leave marks. Sofía had knelt in front of Clara on the rug and was eating her pussy from below while the other woman penetrated her from behind. Clara’s fingers were tangled in Sofía’s hair, guiding her, pressing her face against her, moaning with her mouth open and her eyes closed.

—More tongue—Clara panted. —There, there, don’t move from there.

The cook sped up behind her. The artificial cock went all the way in and came out gleaming, and Clara began to moan louder and louder, pushing her ass backward to take it and her pelvis forward against Sofía’s mouth. When she came, she came with a long, hoarse cry that made Valeria turn to look from the sofa for a moment, smiling approvingly.

And me in the corner. Rigid and useless inside the cage. The wet metal coated in pre-cum that kept dripping. Frustration transformed into something that occupied every available inch of space and had no way out. My balls were so full they hurt with every beat.

The group rearranged itself several times over the course of the night, with the fluidity bodies have once the decision has been made and there’s no need to negotiate anything. Valeria ended up on all fours on the rug, Adrián fucking her from behind with both hands gripping her hips, while the dark-haired waiter put his cock in her mouth from the front. She took them both at once, her throat opening for one and her ass thrusting backward for the other, until Adrián released a guttural growl and emptied his entire load inside her pussy, thrusting all the way in with every pulse. Almost at the same time, the dark-haired man came in her mouth and she swallowed what she could, letting the rest slide down her chin and fall onto her breasts. She cried out with her neck thrown back and her eyes closed, in a long orgasm that shook her too, her fingers clutching the rug’s fibers.

Then she looked at me from where she was, her face still shining with semen and her thighs stained.

—Come here, darling—she said, her voice still broken. —I need you. I have a little job for you.

I approached on my knees. The hardwood floor. My knees had been hurting for some time.

First she led me to Nadia, who lay sprawled on the rug, still breathing hard, her legs spread and wearing a smile that apologized for nothing. Between her thighs, the dark-haired waiter’s cum was running from her pussy in a thick white strand.

—Give my friend your tongue—Valeria said. —Clean her properly. Don’t leave a drop.

Nadia spread her legs wider with a soft laugh and put her hand on the back of my neck to pull me closer. The heat radiating from her was intense. I buried my face between her thighs. My tongue found what was there: salt, moisture, the mixed taste of two bodies that wasn’t solely hers, the viscous texture of someone else’s semen sliding over my tongue. I swallowed without thinking too much about it, because thinking about it would have made it impossible. I licked slowly, tracing her swollen lips, pushing my tongue inside to draw out what remained. Nadia moaned above me and pressed my head more tightly against her.

—Up top too—she murmured. —There, on the clit, with the tip.

I obeyed. I ran my tongue over her swollen clitoris in slow circles, the way I knew Valeria liked, until Nadia began lifting her hips against my mouth and squeezing my head between her thighs. She came again, more briefly this time, with a sharp moan that escaped between her teeth, soaking my entire face.

—Good boy—she said, still laughing, giving me a patronizing pat on the cheek. —Very good boy.

The group watched and commented in low voices. Someone said something I didn’t hear clearly because the blood was buzzing in my ears. The cook had removed the harness and poured herself a drink. Sofía was licking her fingers, her eyes half-closed as she looked in my direction.

Then Valeria drew me toward her. She sat on the edge of the sofa and spread her legs as wide as she could. Her pussy was red, swollen, and gleaming, and Adrián’s cum had begun to run out of her, thick and heavy, forming a white strand that traveled down the inside of her thigh to the back of her knee.

—Now me. Properly. Everything he left inside you.

Her scent was different. More familiar. I’ve known it by heart for years, though today it was mixed with the other man’s smell, salty and foreign. I slowly buried my tongue in the opening, drawing out what remained inside, hot and thick, letting my mouth fill before swallowing. Adrián’s cum slid down my throat with a dense taste that clung to my palate. Valeria gave a small sigh of satisfaction and ran her fingers through my hair with that combination of tenderness and possession I never quite manage to decipher.

—Deeper—she murmured. —Keep your tongue nice and stiff. Get out everything he put in me.

I pushed my tongue in as far as I could. I sucked, swallowed, and sucked again. The taste of another man’s semen inside my wife, inside my mouth, while I remained locked in the metal with my balls about to burst. Valeria began moving against my face, setting the rhythm with her hips, until she raised one leg onto the sofa and pressed my mouth against her clitoris.

—There. Suck me there the way I taught you.

I sucked her the way she had taught me, my lips wrapping around her clitoris and my tongue working beneath it, the tip of my nose pressed against her pubic mound. She began panting harder, her hand firm on the back of my neck, not letting me pull away even an inch. Her thighs closed around my head when she came, squeezing me so tightly that for a moment I stopped hearing, and she came into my mouth with a long tremor that ran through her whole body, pushing the other man’s last drops into me.

—Good boy—she murmured, almost to herself, when she finally loosened her grip. —That’s where you belong. That’s where you always have to be.

I remained on my knees before her, my face soaked, my chin dripping, the cage digging between my legs, my balls throbbing like a second heart. Valeria looked down at me with quiet satisfaction and ran her thumb across my lower lip, gathering what remained.

—Swallow—she said.

I swallowed.

***

The evening ended after midnight. The waiters left first, discreetly, after collecting what they could and buttoning their shirts again as though nothing had happened. The cook closed the kitchen door without saying a word, her white coat perfectly buttoned once more. Valeria’s friends said goodbye with kisses on the cheek, as if the night had been completely ordinary, as if what had happened in that room were something that took place at every dinner among friends.

When the front door closed for the last time, I remained standing in the center of the room. Still naked except for the socks that looked ridiculous even to me now. The cage was still locked. Valeria picked up the key with one finger, held it before my eyes for a moment, and then tucked it back into the chain against her skin.

—Tomorrow—she said.

She went to the bathroom and closed the door.

I remained in the living room with the smell of the night still hanging in the air. Empty glasses on the coffee table. The sofa cushions shoved out of place. The rug marked by everything that had happened there.

How did I get here? I thought, not for the first time. How does someone become this—the man who folds his clothes while his wife watches him from the sofa surrounded by her friends?

And then, as always whenever I asked myself that question, the other one came. The one I still couldn’t answer with complete honesty: Do I really want any of this to change?

The key to the cage gleamed beneath Valeria’s shirt, invisible, exactly where it always was. Exactly where it was meant to be. And I was still standing in the center of my own living room, wearing my socks, still tasting another man in my mouth, with no need to answer that question tonight.

This is my life. And with every week I spend locked up, it becomes harder for me to imagine that it could be any other way—or that I would want it to be.
