Krystal sighed. After she and Fox retired from Star Fox, life was perfect. They had moved into a decent sized house some distance from Corneria City and Fox would be starting a small business soon. While Fox was still purchasing the relevant equipment and merchandise and selecting the right location, Krystal stayed home.

Maybe it was too perfect. Mercenary work was stressful and dangerous, but there was that element of excitement that her new life was lacking. Krystal had tried getting a job to get out of the house, but all it did was add another level of monotony to her life. She was relieved when she was recently laid off.

Last week, she had explained her boredom to Katt. In jest, or at least Krystal thought it was jest, Katt suggested an affair. There would be more sex and an element of danger, but Krystal had immediately decided against it. There was too much risk just for too little reward. She couldn't risk losing Fox over mere physical pleasure.

She couldn't let the boredom hurt her relationship with Fox, though. He was smart, kind, thoughtful, and generous in addition to being a famous, and somewhat wealthy, war hero. He was good with kids, which was a plus for someone who wanted to start a family with him one day. He did, however, have one big flaw.

He was a little too submissive in bed. He always seemed afraid of hurting her, which drove Krystal crazy. She knew he could be more dominant. She knew he would enjoy giving her that excitement that she craved. He just needed some help.

But what would they try? Krystal had a few things she had gotten from various stores and websites and quite some time before Fox would be home. The whole house was clean, so why not do a little experimentation.

Krystal went into their bedroom and closed the door and curtains. She pulled out a small chest from underneath her side of the bed and opened it.

Inside was everything she could think of to spice up their love life. Some she purchased after talking with Katt while others she purchased after reading a few of Katt's special magazines. She pulled out a timer-lock and a metal contraption and laid it on the bed.

It was her chastity belt. She wanted to try it on ever since last week's talk with Katt. Katt had purchased one for Falco to help get him under control as well as to keep him from visiting his many fangirls. Of course Krystal wouldn't imprison Fox in such a cruel device. She trusted him and knew he'd be too honorable, and too shy, to stray from their relationship. Plus, it would go against what she wanted in their relationship.

Krystal undressed completely before donning the belt. She secured it with the timer-lock and set it for five hours. She sat on the bed and closed her eyes.

She envisioned Fox as a Cerinian emperor and herself as his new slave-wife. He looked so strong and confident and had a cruel smirk.

Her body longed for her husband. It craved the stimulation that the chastity belt denied. She smacked her ass and pretended Fox did it. She was enjoying the frustration and wondered if she could get Fox to play along. She wondered if she could use a normal lock instead of a timer-lock and give Fox the key. How long would he keep it before unlocking her? A week? Month? Would he tease her and prolong this torment for a year or longer? The fantasy was driving her crazy.

In a moment of weakness, Krystal tried to undo the lock. It was strong, secured, and had four hours and fifty five minutes left.

Torture. And excitement. Krystal wondered how hard it would be to get Fox to play along? She wanted him to be her master. She wanted him to indulge in the fantasy with her.

It would be a challenge. Fox was meek and was uncomfortable with the level of control Krystal wanted him to have. He preferred to give teammates objectives, trusting them to give input during the planning stage. Teamwork and experience took care of the rest.

Instead of being upfront about it, she'd have to give him a gentle push in the right direction. She'd have to ease him into the role. It would take longer than Krystal would have liked, but it would be worth it in the end.

The timer read 4:49. Each minute felt like hours. Why did she have to use the timer-lock? Why did she choose now to fantasize about Fox?

"It's for Fox." she told herself as her frustration grew, "You want to be his slave. This is what you'll have to go through. When you're done, he'll put you through worse."

Krystal pulled a magazine out of the chest. It was one she borrowed from Katt, detailing everything she wanted Fox to do to her. Krystal read every kinky article, fantasizing about being Fox's slave. As the minutes turned to hours, Krystal's frustration grew. She was about to scream when she heard a beep.

The timer-lock had unlocked. Krystal decided against removing the belt to relieve her frustration. She would wait until that night. Krystal put the magazine in the chest before closing it and sliding it under the bed. She then relocked her chastity belt and timed it for their planned lovemaking session. She then got dressed again and thought about what to make for dinner.

She walked around the house, searching for something that needed doing. She imagined herself a kinky slave preparing the house for when her sexy emperor came home. She re-alphabetized their books and organized their clothes by season, casual/formal, and then by color. She even scrubbed the floors by hand. When she was done, she waited for Fox to get home.

As the waiting dragged on, she wondered about the lock. What if the batteries died? Would her chastity belt be locked on her forever? The thought sent a chill down her spine.

With just an hour before Fox got home, Krystal decided to cook an early dinner. Though they usually ate later, Krystal couldn't stand the growing boredom. It made her miss her old desk job. She'd go looking for a new one tomorrow, though it did remind her of one of her fetishes. She fantasized working for Fox, getting paid in bondage and sex. The fantasy made Krystal's frustration grow again.

Krystal eventually made steak, broccoli, and noodles. It wasn't long before Fox got home. Krystal greeted him with a kiss, giving him a seductive look afterwards. They then served themselves and sat at the table.

"Shipment's going to be late." Fox sighed, "Looks like I'll have to push back the grand opening by another week."

Krystal smiled. It meant an entire week when she'd have Fox all to herself. She wouldn't have to worry about him being too tired from work.

"Why don't I cheer you up with some 'dessert' later?" Krystal suggested with growing eagerness.

"Tomorrow." Fox promised, "You'll have me to yourself an entire week. I just need to relax for a bit before bed."

Krystal was disappointed, but optimistic. She had an entire week to work on their relationship. She'd have her sexy emperor in no time.
