Returning to his seat, Kevin pondered his options. Still wanting a shave and conscious of the fact that he hadn't had time to attend to any of his morning rituals, he decided it would be advantageous to continue with something that would give him some freedom without giving his wife any respite. Smiling devilishly, he reached for another of his recent purchases from Frawling's.

Without a word, Kevin picked up the hot pink squeeze bottle and studiously read the label. All the while, Jessica lay quietly, having regained tentative control of her muscles and breathing. She was still aroused, however, her little clit swollen and twitching in the folds of her glistening lips.

Yes, her precious little button, Kevin thought. Oh, so sensitive. His smile turned downright wicked. Dropping the bottle to his lap, he silently pulled on a pair of rubber surgical gloves. The jell he was about to apply to his wife was labeled "Dr. Tingle" and with good reason. Once it contacted with bare skin, the active ingredient would induce a tingling sensation that was not quite burning and not quite itching. Like thousands of tiny crawling insects, he recalled, having previously tested a smudge on the soft vulnerable skin of his wrist. Applied to even more sensitive regions, it would drive his wife insane.

Retrieving the bottle and uncapping it, Kevin squeezed a dime sized dollop onto his finger. Leaning forward he almost touched her, but suddenly sat back. How nice it would be to tease her a bit, to pray on the advantages of anticipation to draw her endurance out to the very limits. He rose and went to sit by her side.

Jessica started slightly at his unexpected presence and tipped her head in his direction.

Kevin knew she was confused, not understanding his intentions, so he let her wonder for a moment before carefully bending to roll his tongue lightly over and around each of her wonderfully flushed breasts.

"Mmmmmm, yesss," Jessica groaned, arching her back to meet him.

Kevin pulled back and smiled at her. Her rosy nubs were erect now with pleasurable excitement. Dividing the dollop between both his forefingers he rolled each with his thumbs and then reached to pinch her nipples. Caressing them firmly, he liberally coated every inch of the dark pink circles.

Jessica moaned deep in her throat.

The jell would be pleasantly cool at first, he knew, and then....

"Ahhhhh?" Surprised, Jessica bucked and squirmed her shoulders in a vain attempt to escape the sudden and maddening sensation. A thousand insects were praying on her sensitive buttons and she could do nothing to stop them.

Merrily, Kevin patted her head and stood.

"Wait!" she shrieked after him. "Please! Don't! What is it?!"

Leaving her twisting in confusion, Kevin ignored her pleas and went to have his shave.

For nearly a minute, Jessica cries carried to him. When she realized the futility, however, she regressed into deep sobbing moans. Kevin listened with a smile for a while until the hum of his electric razor drowned them out. The jell would stay fully active for about twenty minutes, the instructions had said, and would eventually fade altogether in another ten. He took his time then and even washed and dried his hair. When he was finished he returned to find his wife limp and whimpering.

"Did you like that, baby?" His sudden appearance made her jump.

Jessica shook her head, too taxed to answer.

"Shame on you," he reproved her immediately, running his finger up between her gentle folds. "Daddy thinks you liked it very much." He trailed his finger over her mound as proof. She was wetter now than when he had left her.

Jessica squirmed and shook her head again.

"It's too bad you feel you have to lie to me, baby," Kevin continued, silently amazed at her willpower. "Now Daddy has to prove that you aren't being honest."

As he spoke Kevin pulled on the gloves again and reached for the bottle. When he sat on the edge of the bed, Jessica wept and tried to shift away from him.

"Enough of that," Kevin commanded. "Lie still."

"No more," she moaned. "Please, no more."

Kevin ignored her pleas and squeezed a small dollop directly on each of her hard little nubs. She wailed and twitched, but he smoothed the jell all around to cover her thoroughly. Then he stood and went to stand between her legs.

"You know what?" he asked casually over her growing sobs. "I think someone down here is getting jealous."

Her cries chocked to sniffles as she struggled to understand his meaning.

To make it clear, Kevin used his pinky, untainted by the lotion, to tap her clit.

Jessica went into motion instantly. "No!" she shrieked, bucking and jerking in ernest. "Please, don't! Oh, God! Please, don't put it there!"

But Kevin wasn't going to be moved. The renewed flow between her legs, soaking her sex, betrayed the truth in her protests. Like it or not she was extremely excited.

Without answering her cries, Kevin squeezed a large dollop onto his finger and dabbed it delicately on her clit.

"Noooooooo!" Jessica cried, convulsing.

He let it sit a moment, long enough to grow fully active, and then lightly began caressing it in, coating the swollen bud and covering the sensitive hood. Then, wickedly, he began to rub her more firmly.

"Oh, God!" she cried, rocking her hips. "P...please stop! Pleeeasseeee! Oh, please, let me cumm!"

"Don't you dare!" Kevin shouted. It was the only way to penetrate her cries. He stopped his fondling and slapped her buttocks. "If you do, Jessica Marie, I'll know it and then I'll make you very sorry that you didn't listen to me!"

"Y... you're leaving?!" she wailed, understanding his intent. "No! Please don't leave me like this! Please let me cumm!"

She was writhing in spasms now, trapped by the tingling jell, and trying desperately to close her legs to defiantly induce her own orgasm.

But she wouldn't be able to, Kevin knew, assessing her efforts. He had made sure of that the same way he had made sure she wasn't stimulated enough to tip herself over the edge without his help.

Leaving her in misery, he left the room, locked the door on her sobbing pleas, and went in search of the Sunday paper. He would need all the distraction he could get to subdue his own demanding needs.

Oh, God, she needed to...!

That was the only coherent thought in Jessica's mind. At the moment her whole world was centered on the horribly denied desires between her legs. Even the maddening tingling that had consumed her nipples had faded in comparison to the light all consuming tickle below.

"Uuunghhhh!" She rocked her hips from side to side, trying desperately brush her pulsing sex against the insides of her legs. She could make herself climax then, rub herself to completion. And she would, if only she could, threats or not. She didn't care that Kevin would punish her, that he would make her regret it. Her need was that great.

But her efforts were futile. Kevin had spread her too widely and she only succeeded in wearing herself out.

Panting and sobbing, Jessica continued to squirm until she eventually felt the intensity of the tingling begin to abate. At first she thought it was a product of her exhausted imagination, but in time it disappeared completely. Starting to breath easier, she began to think that she might just survive with her sanity intact after all.

Then Kevin returned.

"What's wrong, baby?" her husband asked innocently over the click of the lock, making her start violently. His voice moved closer. "You don't look like you're enjoying yourself anymore."

Submerged in a rush of dread, Jessica jumped and squealed when his fingers danced along her soaked slit. Involuntarily her hips began to sway, trying to press his hand deeper.

"No, no, baby," he laughed at her efforts, pulling back to keep only the barest contact.

"P... Please," she whimpered.

"Very soon," he responded, more gently than he had since her ordeal had begun, breathing hope into her like a waft of fresh air. "Just one more test, baby. If you pass that, then Daddy is going to let you go and then he's going to make love to you and give you all the satisfaction you need."

That thought filled Jessica with a violent pulse of sheer joy, a sensation that surprisingly had little to do her current physical state. It was an emotional need he was attending to now. The need to find balance again, to stand on equal footing, to return to the normalcy of husband and wife. She wanted it so badly she was ready to surrender her immortal soul to whatever entity might be capable of giving her the strength to endure.

"Would my baby like that?" Kevin asked, not knowing or not hinting that he knew the effect of what he was offering.

"Y... yes, please," she begged. God, please, yes!

"Alright then." Kevin was all business again and, by the location of his voice, sitting back between her legs. "This is going to be difficult, baby, but just hang on for Daddy."

Extremely pleased with his wife's endurance, Kevin raked his eyes over the items on the chest. He had pushed her too quickly he decided, realizing how few of them had been used. Then again, the combination of the tingle cream and his new water torture had been more effective than he had foreseen. Combined, they had pushed her to the brink on a rocket and she had responded with more stamina than she had ever shown before.

But now he intended to test that endurance.

Since Jessica had already exceeded herself, Kevin knew he shouldn't and wouldn't punish her if she succumbed, but he hoped with all his heart that she would hold on. It wasn't just that he craved her personal success, it was also that he wanted to be with her, to hold her in his arms, when she finally received the glorious bliss she so richly deserved. And more importantly, he wanted it to be with him and not as a part of some strict lesson.

Delivering a silent prayer, Kevin selected another vibrator, thicker than the last and ribbed, and rolled it up and down the sodden folds of her sex.

Jessica moaned, but held steady.

Once the length of it was thoroughly lubricated, he slowly began to slip it into the yielding folds of her moist hot center. She stretched around it, effortlessly taking it in, and when it was all the way, he flicked the switch that turned it on.

"Ahhhhh!" Jessica's legs spasmed and twitched. Her body arched and shuddered.

"Hang on, baby! Hang on!" Kevin coached, willing her every ounce of strength he possessed.

Her tight inner lips flexed and clenched around the pulsing rod buried inside of her, but she didn't give in.

"Good, baby!" Kevin praised. His manhood was rock hard again and throbbing with anticipation. He wanted badly to take her now, but.... "Only one more thing, baby. Just one more and you'll be done."

Jessica groaned deep and low. "I... I can't! Please!"

"It's alright. Just a little more. You can do it, baby."

As he encouraged her, Kevin once more slipped on a glove. Retrieving another dollop of tingle cream, he gently rubbed it on her anus.

"Ahhhhh! Goddddd!" Jessica screamed and bucked as the jell tingled to life. "I... I can't! Ohhh! Ohhhh Godddd! Pleassse! Pllleeeaaassseeee!"

"Not yet!" Kevin yelled over her, stripping off the glove and knowing he had little time. "Wait for Daddy, baby! Wait for me!"

Working deftly despite his desperation, Kevin pulled the vibrator from within her, trying to buy time, and tore out the laces that held her in the slings. He pulled her legs free as fast as he dared, careful not to stretch them too far too fast and quickly positioned himself to stop her from involuntarily closing them. Kneeling between her knees he balanced forward and snatched at her cuffs. Ignoring the straps, he removed them directly from her wrists. As soon as they were free her arms darted around his neck.

"Please!" she begged, clinging to him and spreading desperate kisses over face and throat. "Nowwww!"

Kevin didn't need any encouragement, in one quick motion he thrust forward, penetrating her welcoming center deeply and forcefully.

"Pleeaaassssseee!" she wailed again, her body trembling convulsively with need, her deepest folds rippling and caressing him to madness.

Nearly lost, it took Kevin a moment to understand. Lord, she was still waiting for permission!

"Yes, baby! Yes!"

With a scream of pure animal lust, Jessica seized Kevin, inside and out, clasping so him so hard she threatened to meld them into one. Her body arched against his, her legs kicking against the bed, while her fingers dug painfully into his back. She was completely, totally, utterly lost to all but the tide of pleasure that had finally been released to engulf her.

Kevin wasn't far behind. Her primal cry had ignited the flame already flickering in his loins. Pulling out once, he thrust in again and fell instantly over the edge of a dark and yawning chasm and into a raging torrent of physical and emotional fulfillment. Joining her cry, he exploded again and again, spilling his seed in plentiful ribbons to crash against her inner being.

It was enough to set off another violent reaction in Jessica. She cried out his name, sobbing and laughing as spasm after spasm traveled up and down the entire length of her beautiful quaking body.

For a blissful eternity Kevin and Jessica stayed locked together in a inseparable embrace, shuddering in a delightful palsy of mutual sensation, until finally, spent and exhausted, they collapsed together in a tangle of trembling limbs.

Carefully rolling off of her, Kevin pressed his lips to Jessica's damp forehead. "Oh, Jess," he breathed between gasps, barely grasping enough reason to scoot to the edge of the bed and pull the comforter from the floor. Throwing it over them, he gathered her into his arms and clutched her to his chest.

For the briefest of instants her lips brushed his.

"Kevin," she murmured endearingly, all of her love filling a voice that sounded light years away.

Falling into darkness, it was the last thing Kevin heard.
