Replacement : the lingerie chapter.

Okay so here's another 'finished' chapter. here

 

This is a much later chapter than I've posted before.

Some context : Ashley has persuaded Dave not to jerk off 'for his own good' and he's been complying. (The NoFap storyline) Some days before Mike left, Ashley puts Dave in a chastity cage 'to help him be good' while she's with Mike. Not permanent, but it seems she intends to do this when she's with Mike.

Mike's been away for a few days and he will be away again soon. On this return, he and Dave meet up to go tailgating at a football game. Dave gets humiliated by Mike and his friends but Dave also gains some insight into Mike's personal life and circumstances. The next day, it is arranged (by Ashley) that Mike is to call over to the apartment. She feels she's been patient in waiting to see her boyfriend so that he can have some guy's bonding time with her husband.

Where this chapter starts - Dave has bought some fancy lingerie for Ashley. He thinks a sexy romantic gesture is just what they need. Mike isn't the only one who can romance Ashley he thinks. 
Dave is to meet Mike in a bar after work and then bring him back to the apartment. Before he goes, Ashley sees the present and wonders what it is. This wasn't the time that Dave intended to give it to her, but he does anyway.

So, this is one of the chapters  where originally, I got to a point and then found I was writing myself off a cliff - it potentially leads to Dave watching, but I think that's still too early, even three quarters of the way through. 

The way I solve this isn't great. (a) In a piece of reverse-psychology that backfires, Ashley tells him to go to his room. (b) Even without thinking about it, Dave bolts upstairs. He just can't do it.

 

The first part of the chapter is a major beat-down from Mike to Dave. I love writing these - there's another one earlier in the book. I think some of those scenes in the OG books are the best. Dave never really understands that he is never going to win these sparring contests. All Mike has to say is "Yeah, but Ashley loves me fucking her." and it's an ace card every time. And in this, he says it over and over again.

Back at the apartment, Mike and Ash making out in front of Dave is always great. Again, it happens over and over in Reluctant and Horizon. Is seeing your wife kiss another man worse than seeing them fuck? I don't know why, but yes, it seems so. 

And finally we get some tortured introspection from Dave alone in bed until Mike appears to bully him some more and Ash delivers the coup-de-grace.

Let me know what you think. Typos, corrections, comments and suggestions all very welcome and appreciated.
