It was just another day at work at the sex shop. Things had been quiet lately. As people ordered more and more online, fewer and fewer people physically entered the store. But Alice didn't mind; she got paid either way... Sure, it got boring at times, but over time, Alice had found her own ways to keep her job interesting.
The sound of a bell could be heard as the store's door swung open. Someone entered the store! Alice quickly looked over to see who it was. "A new face?" Alice thought to herself with mild interest. "Welcome to our store! Feel free to browse, but don't hesitate to let me know if you need assistance!" Alice said from her spot at the cashier.
"Thank you," I said as I shyly looked away and quickly moved out of sight behind the shelves. I came here to buy a chastity cage. My girlfriend said to surprise her with a special gift this Valentine's Day. It was still January, so I was a little bit on the early side, but this way I could ensure things would be in stock, and it'd also give me time to see if I was truly ready for it.
It would be my first time trying out chastity. I'd never done it before. I loved chastity in porn, but I never had the guts to try it myself. Well, this year things would be different! I'd try one on and find out if I could wear it for a few hours, take a break, then wear it for a day, take another break, go for a weekend, one last break, and then work my way up to a full week, and if I could handle that, I'd surprise my girlfriend with two chastity keys for Valentine's Day; giving her nearly full control over my caged manhood while keeping just one key to myself in case of emergencies... that was the thought, at least.
I took a while browsing, looking through the shelves without any clue as to where to find what I was looking for. "Looking for something specific?" Alice asked, having suddenly appeared behind me.
"Y- Yes," I replied, startled. "I was looking to surprise my girlfriend this Valentine's Day," I continued, hesitation building up in my speech as my embarrassment showed a blush appearing on my face.
"The lady's segment is two aisles over," Alice mentioned without giving it a second thought.
"Well, actually," I stammered. "Her gift would be in the form of a set of keys."
"Oh! Are you looking for a chastity cage then?" Alice inquired.
"Yes," I replied, avoiding eye contact. Alice hadn't given my physical shape much thought before, but now she had started actively eyeing me up and down.
He's shy, and he looks kinda cute... A fun opportunity presents itself! Alice thought to herself. Besides, it's not busy anyway. A devious smile slowly became visible on her face as her thoughts trailed off on what she had in store for me.
"Right this way!" Alice exclaimed, excitedly escorting me to a row of chastity devices. Some cages, some belts, others... a bit more unique. I expected her to walk away after guiding me to this section of the store, but Alice remained near me, hungrily eyeing me up more. Undressing me with her eyes, she asked, "Do you know what style you're looking for? Plastic, metal, belt, cage? Your measurements?"
"Yes. I think so. It's my first time, but I did some research online. I think I'll go with a plastic cage for now. Do you have these in any other color?" I asked, head red as a strawberry, already knowing the answer.
"No. Just pink. Apparently, a lot of men like adding a little extra femininity to the act of taking their manhood away. We barely ever sold ones in other colors, so we stopped offering those altogether," Alice replied, letting out a barely audible chuckle.
"Alright... I'll take this one then," I said after a moment of looking at different cages. As I reached out for a cage, Alice's hand stopped me.
"I know you said you took your measurements already, but considering it's your first time, here's some advice... Men generally overestimate their size and end up picking a cage that's too big. You don't want to have too much loose space in these things. Gets uncomfortable," Alice said as she reached for a cage that was remarkably more compact and handed it to me. "Try this one on, sweetie. We have a changing booth. And don't worry. If it doesn't fit, we'll disinfect them properly and get you a different cage to try on. No one would know." The smile on Alice's face had gone from simply being a helpful employee to obvious deviousness as she handed me the tinier cage.
I headed into the booth and closed the curtain. After a minute of undressing and staring at the cage, I realized something was missing. The lock of the cage was unlocked, but it had no keys. "Aren't there supposed to be keys with this?" I asked.
"Yes, we keep all keys at the cashier. Just in case someone decides to try a cage on and sneak it out without paying. Wouldn't be the first time!" Alice replied. "But don't worry. If it doesn't fit, you can't lock it anyway. So you wouldn't need the keys unless the cage fits. And if it does, we'll just go to the cashier, and then you can purchase your keys! Unless, of course, the cage I picked is still too big, and we need you to try on an even smaller cage," Alice added, giggling.
"Okay... That makes sense, I guess," I replied, embarrassed at her suggestion that her 'compact cage' could still be too big for me. Some minutes passed as I tried on different rings and fits to see what configuration worked best before I even attempted locking the cage.
