Pleather-bound Heart

Enigma grunted softly as he put the last pleather strip into place, before standing back to take a look at his creation.

It wasn't much to look at, in fact it looked more like a broken piece of medical equipment. The outside was just a bunch of metal bars holding the pleather straps and ropes in place. But once Jadewing was put into it, he knew it would look magnificent. He was actually a little jealous of her. He took a deep breath and stepped out from the room. “Silverchain! Jadewing! It's done!”

The pegasus was there in a second, though her mistress took far longer. By the time the earth pony arrived, Jadewing was practically hopping up and down. “Where is it? I wanna see I wanna see show me show me where is it I wanna seeee!” she shrieked.

“Just a moment, darling,” Silverchain said firmly before looking to him. “Are you sure?”

“Yes. I'll show you how to quickly take it apart and put it back into place as needed, as well,” he said with a smile. “Everything is marked easily so there should be no problems. Even if parts need to be replaced.”

She nodded. “Very well. If you would?”

He nodded and stepped aside. The pegasus let out a shriek and jumped inside. The two followed after. “Now, would you like to strap her in and--”

“Oh, no. You can. I'd rather not risk doing it wrong on my first try,” Silverchain said smoothly.

Enigma gulped and nodded. He pointed towards the longest piece of pleather, wide enough for the mare to lay down in on her stomach. Two slits were cut in the side, allowing her to spread her wings out. Piece by piece he strapped her in. Within a few moments the pegasus was completely immobilized, her legs and wings spread out as if she was flying. “It's pretty simple. The quick release is up here,” he said before pointing towards the top of the metal skeleton of the toy. “If you push it, all the ropes will be loosened at once and it will softly drop her to the ground. It's padded as well, so there should be no chance of her hurting herself.”

Silverchain nodded as she moved around her immobilized pet, before giving her a little swat on the rump. The pegasus yelped and tried to move, but the bindings restricted her too tightly. “What if the ropes get tangled?”

He smiled and gripped one with his magic and twisted it slightly. He let it go and it quickly straightened back up. “They're specially designed to restrict movement and stay straight. They'll be going straight up and can't tangle around each other without excessive attempts. Now, to move the bindings around, you need to move pieces of the skeleton. That's why all the pulleys are connected on sliders.” He gripped the one holding the pegasus' front right hoof and lowered it, forcing the mare's leg down. “You have most of the leverage so, well, she'll have no choice but to endure it.” His cheeks were getting redder as he watched the mare struggle in the device. “I still need to do some adjustments, but it's pretty much working now.”

The earth pony nodded. “Go ahead then, finish them. I'll watch.”

He blushed and gave a nod. “O-okay...” He moved up besides the mare, though he couldn't stop shaking. She was helpless, vulnerable, her body helplessly bound and suspended in the air. He wished he was in that position, with somepony he trusted. He started making little adjustments, tightening and maneuvering the pleather, straps, pulleys and sliders to limit how far they could go. “Tell me if it gets too hard or a position that is too uncomfortable.”

“Mmmmm... okay,” the pegasus said with a little grin. “Enjoying yourself?”

“N-no,” he said with a gentle squeak.

“You shouldn't lie to a cop,” she said with a little hint of mirth in her voice.

Enigma froze. “W-wait, what? You're a cop?”

“Mmmm, you didn't know?”

The stallion yelped and jumped back, his eyes going wide. “I didn't do anything I'm sorry please don't arrest me I didn't molest you I was just adjusting things I'm sorry!”

Jadewing and Silverchain shared a look before bursting into laughter. The earth pony moved up behind him and gently put a hoof on his shoulder, making him jump. “Shhhh, dear. Calm down. We know you've done nothing wrong. You're not in trouble.”

Enigma whimpered and looked between them. “I-I didn't, I mean, I-I'm not? I-I... I...”

“You've done nothing illegal, calm down,” Silverchain said before looking him up and down. “Perhaps you should be on medication. You do seem to be under quite a lot of stress. Have you ever considered medication?”

“N-no. I mean, I-I was for a little bit a few years ago, b-but I haven't been on any in... ages and...” He shuffled from hoof to hoof. T-thanks, but I'm fine. I, errr, so... errr... not in trouble?”

“Not in the slightest, dear. Now, would you finish?”

He nodded and got to work. Within a few moments the pegasus was strapped in fully and he showed them how to release it. “There, it's all done. Job complete.”

Silverchain nodded. “Good. Would you come with me? I'll write you the check for the second half.”

“O-oh, it's supposed to go through my agent, she...” He paused and frowned. He hadn't heard from her in weeks, ever since Tap had showed up. “Have... you spoken with her?”

“Hey! You left me in here!” Jadewing yelled.

“Don't worry, darling. I'll be in there soon to... take care of you,” Silverchain said with a smile before turning to him. “No, not since I hired you. Why?”

“Nothing, it's... nothing.”

Silverchain smiled and soon held out the check to him. She looked him over. “Is... everything alright? At home?”

He cringed and gave a nod. “O-of course. Why wouldn't it be?”

“You seem quite tense. Is--”

“Everything is fine! Completely fine! She's fine, I'm fine, we're all fine!”

The mare nodded. “Very well. When would you like to start discussing the creation of our next toys?”

“Oh, I ummm... I'll get back to you about it. I'll call soon, we can set everything up. Just make sure this thing works how you like first, okay? I want to be a hundred percent certain that there's nothing that needs to be fixed on it.”

She nodded. “Of course. Would you like to stay for--”

“No. I need to go home. I'll call you soon!” he galloped out of the room, leaving her behind.

Silverchain sighed and walked through the house, back to their playroom. “Things are not going well between those two.”

“Oh? Does that mean we get to help?” Jadewing asked as she struggled to pull free.

“No. We cannot help somepony who does not wish to be helped.” She closed the door and smiled, picking up a small switch. “However, I do believe somepony needs to be... calling for help soon.”

“Safety word pineapple?”

“Of course, darling.” The switch tore through the air.

“A-ahhhhh!”

Enigma smiled as he walked up to his home, the check gleaming in his magic. With this he could rest easy for a while, pay off Tap's parents and start work on some more projects. It was going to be wonderful. He pulled open the door and stepped inside.

“Enigma, darling, is that you?” Tap's voice came from the bedroom, making him jump.

“Y-yes dear, I'm here. I just got back from--”

“Come here,” she said, her voice firm and angry. He closed the door and locked it, before trotting to their room, trepidation building in him. What had he done now? When he arrived, his mouth nearly hit the floor.

Tap was sitting on their bed, dressed in a very tight, black pleather outfit. Every curve of her was revealed to his prying eyes. A small switch hovered besides her head. She gave him a sultry look and motioned to the bed. “Come here. Sit,” she ordered.

He nodded and darted over, sitting on the bed. “W-what are you doing?”

“You like this kind of stuff, don't you?” she asked with a smirk. “I'm going to tie you down and then make hard, rough, brutal love to you.” The switch lashed out and struck against his side, making him yelp. “Oh, you like that?” She hit him three more times, making him back up, holding his hooves up.

“S-stop! Stop it!” he squeaked.

“Oh, I'll 'stop' alright,” she said with a grin, before the switch lashed out and struck him again. He let out another yelp and fell off the bed, holding his hooves up.

“STOP! I-I mean it!”

She froze. “What's wrong? Enigma? I thought you liked this stuff?”

“W-we didn't... I-I mean, w-what about the safety word? Or... or p-preparations, or--”

“Safety word? Preparations? What are you talking about? I surprise you with your little fantasy and you whine because I didn't warn you? It's a surprise!” He could see the anger building in her, the switch shaking in her magic.

He cringed, his body still burning from the swing of the switch. “I-I just--”

“Damn it, Enigma!” She lashed out again, striking him on the side. “I thought you wanted this! You always work on these sick little toys, so I finally make one for you and you, you freak out and just, you're impossible!” She struck him two more times. “Just get up here! If you want a forceful, dominating woman, you'll get it!” she ordered, striking once more. “For once in your life, act like a stallion!”

“F-fine, I'll do it, j-just stop it with the switch!” he begged, holding up his hooves.

She glared down, before sighing. “Enigma, honey? I'm sorry. I was just trying to be your fantasy. I thought this was what you wanted. I'm putting the switch down, okay? How about you just... tell me what you want?”

He slowly looked up from behind his hooves, watching her put the switch down. Slowly, he got up and crawled into the bed besides her, though he ached all over. “Well... I... I just... I...”

“Well? Spit it out!”

“I-I don't know,” he said with a soft whimper. “I-I thought we'd... try things. Safely. Do... all of it. Safety words, being careful.”

“How is that your fantasy? You tell me you want... some mare like this. But then when I do it, you complain and whine that I'm not being safe enough? What else do you want from me?”

He shook his head. “Nothing. I... I was wrong. I just... I don't...”

She moved up besides him and gently kissed his ear. “Come on, honey. Let's just do it my way. It's better that way, right? A lot better?”

He gulped nervously and nodded. “Y-yeah. Let's just... do it that way.”
