the cage

coming home late tonight from a business dinner. (oh it does feel so lovely to be able to say that after having been unemployed on and off for 2 years - especially when someone else paid for the dinner!)

i was about a mile from home, coming up the dark road between work and my house. ahead of me was a pick-up truck.

in the back of the truck was a cage.

it took about a block to register. and then i felt it.

i was sinking into subspace.

i've had fantasies about being caged. usually, the cage itself is not enough. i also want restraint. at the very least, i see a leather collar around my neck. with a chain from the collar to a ring on the bars. sometimes it is a short chain, so that my movement is limited. sometimes it allows me to move around the cage, and is more a symbol than any sort of restriction.

the odd thing is that i don't see myself filling the whole cage.

nor do i see it as a huge zoo-size cage.

it is a pet cage, for i am my master's pet.
it is perhaps like a cage for crating a dog at night.

the cage is of normal size.

it is i who am small.

i am my master's kitten.
i huddle in the corner.
i await his return.
i am eager.
i am fearful.
he will pet me.
he will hurt me.

he will please himself.

and i crave it all.

when i look back, i often feel a little thrill to remember that i *have* been caged. but when it was actually happening, it was not all that fun at all. perhaps if i could have been small enough to fit your fantasy of a kitten hiding in the corner it would have been more enjoyable for me. i do rather like the idea of that.

i have no idea how it would feel for real, and i have no idea if i'll ever find out. but the fantasy is very very powerful. and these days fantasy is all i have.

for now, i'd be ever so grateful for just a simple spanking.

poor kitten...

I think that being released from the cage, and being used in all the ways he wants... well, that could be hot. The waiting part? Not so much.

marianne, i was thinking about that yesterday, and realized that i would be very sad to be banished to the cage. what if i were crated at night like dogs are? i would curl in my corner and cry, sad that i couldn't sleep by his side, or at his feet. lately he spoke of making me sleep on the floor beside the bed, which would at least be in the same room.

i like restraint, and the idea of restraint. i don't like banishment. the thought makes me sad.

i keep using that word. sad. i am sad. we've been apart too long.

So, a year later now (I'm slow haha), have you been in a cage yet?

I love it. Absolutely love it. I'm quite the opposite of meg with this one. Looking back, it's weird and I have this slight regretful feeling about it all. But, when it's happening, it's bliss. When I'm stressed out or worried about something, I tend to withdraw from the man I was with. I hate that feeling. So, having him put me away, removes that pressure and I can finally calm down. It's not so bad.

Even when I get irrational about it and feel completely abandoned, my mind screws around with me while I am in there. It makes me appreciate it (and him) even more when I am finally let out :)
