Thank you Guest, your review was the nudge I needed to post this :)

After she left Hunter's cell it felt like a really long day for Stephanie until she got to go home. As she walked through the front door she was greeted by Cody stood in front of her, "Whatever it is I did not do it."

"Huh?"

She shut the front door leaning back against it, "You stood here waiting for me cannot be a good sign."

Cody shook his head, "I literally just got to the bottom of the stairs when you opened the door, you're not that special."

"Oh." She felt stupid now for assuming that he was there for her, it was probably down to her relationship with Hunter and how on edge she had been today after she felt like she had disappointed him and how he had seemed anything but disappointed. The two had just cuddled for what felt like an hour but in truth it was no more than five to ten minutes, those five to ten minutes were her everything though, she felt so close to him and there was a certain emotional intimacy to it.

He may as well talk to himself seeing as she didn't seem to even be on this planet. The thought of just leaving her at the door crossed his mind but instead he waved his hand in front of her face, "Anybody in there?"

Rapidly blinking she tried to clear her head to focus on her best friend again, "What? I was thinking."

"Good thinking or bad thinking?"

She chose to ignore his question and pushed herself away from the door, kicking her shoes off at the bottom of the stairs she dropped her bag and shrugged off her jacket dropping both items on top of her shoes. Her intention was to walk past Cody and to start on dinner but when he grabbed her arm she stopped, "What is it?"

When something didn't feel right he couldn't help but want to get to the bottom of it, "Stephanie what's going on? You're kind of scaring me with the way that you are acting."

"I am also really hungry, we can talk whilst I prepare it if you are that determined to do so."

Silently he released her arm and followed her through to the kitchen watching her as she pulled things from the fridge. It was only when she had everything in front of her did he talk, "So what happened today?"

She busied herself with washing vegetables off and placing them back on the side as she contemplated how to answer his question. When he grabbed her arm stilling her movements she looked at him having no choice but to answer, "It's stupid but we cuddled, there was something so emotionally intimate about it that it has completely thrown me."

"You say that like it is a bad thing that it was 'emotionally intimate', as you put it."

"It isn't that it is bad, I just don't know how to process it as it is everything that I want."

He didn't understand why she was unable to process it when it was everything she wanted, "You say that like it is a bad thing."

How did she explain this so it made some sense? Silently peeling a potato she tried to gather her thoughts before she was able to speak up, "With what Mr Shawn said about him and with how I feel about him it is kind of scary to have an emotionally intimate moment when I am keeping my true feelings from him."

"You are keeping your true feelings from him? Why the hell would you do that? I think that you are just insane to do that."

Slamming the knife on to the counter she leant on the counter and glared at her best friend, "Don't you start, I have already had this from Mr Shawn, I can't take it from you too."

When he saw her eyes glistening with unshed tears Cody abandoned his lecture and walked around the counter and pulled her into his arms, "Come here Steph. I'm sorry that I was pushing you, I just thought that it would be for the best if you were completely honest with him."

Stephanie closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder, "I want to be honest with him but I am scared about doing so. Today was the first time that he has been truly gentle and made me feel like there was a chance that he would feel something for me. I know that he said that he wanted things to go deeper between us but those were just words, this was something in his touch that really made me feel like he meant it."

He already knew that he felt something for her but it was nice to hear that he was actually showing her that he felt something, even if it was subconsciously, "I'm not going to push you to tell him if you don't want to, I am aware that he is in jail and maybe you don't want to admit to how deep your feelings go when he is in jail . . ."

"Because I don't want to look like a complete fucking idiot if he comes out and then dumps me."

Moving his hands to her shoulders he pulled her back and away from his chest, "Really Steph? I think we have gone over this a thousand times but I will happily make it a thousand and one. I genuinely don't think he will dump you when he gets out of jail."

She wanted to believe him more than anything in the world but she couldn't for more reasons than she cared to admit, "Let's change the subject and just enjoy the evening. I can't be dealing with having him on my mind all night, I don't have enough spare space for him to occupy even more of my head."

"Really?! I thought your head was empty."

Despite the twinkle in his eye her hand quickly raised to smack him in the chest, "Shut up and get away from me before I make you help with dinner."

One warning was more than enough for him, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead he quickly moved back around the counter away from her, "You don't need to tell me twice."

The subject of Hunter was dropped and the two of them went about their evening as if he didn't exist at all which was exactly what Stephanie needed.

The next morning Stephanie was woken by Cody slamming the door as he left, she knew that he wasn't happy that he had to be in work early but he could have let her sleep. She rolled over with the intention of going back to sleep but first squinted at the clock and realised that she had to be up in ten minutes so it really wasn't worth it. Reluctantly she turned off her alarm and sat up, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes she tried not to think beyond getting up and showering so that she could stomach food.

After a hot shower she walked back into her bedroom dressed only in a towel, opening her closet she pulled out the skirt that she hadn't touched since she transferred and threw it on the bed. Part of her wanted to make him happy with the skirt but a bigger part of her knew that in a skirt she would be happier as it made things so much easier for him to pleasure her and if she was lucky she would get to feel him again.

Getting dressed Stephanie left a couple of buttons of her shirt undone giving herself room to breathe before she did her hair and then made her way downstairs, it was weird and different wearing a skirt again but it felt like home and she liked it.

As soon as she had eaten breakfast and put the dishes away she made her way back upstairs to clean her teeth. Stood in front of the mirror with her toothbrush hanging out of her mouth she couldn't stop her mind from wandering to thoughts about Hunter, it felt like a lifetime since they had had sex and although she had orgasmed since then nothing felt as good as when he was inside of her. She hadn't intended to get her body ready for the balls yet but the throbbing in her pussy and the wetness on her thighs told her that she was more than ready for them.

She finished cleaning her teeth and used mouthwash to make sure that she had minty fresh breath before she made her way back to her bedroom to put the final touches to her outfit before she had to leave so that she wasn't late.

When she walked into her bedroom her feet automatically carried her over to her bedside table and she found herself removing the balls from the top drawer and then from the bag also. They were only two small balls but they scared her, as she rolled them in her hand she tried to block the fear and think about what her Master wanted. Taking a deep breath she pulled her skirt up around her waist and then lay down on the bed and spread her legs, slowly trailing a finger up her slit she shivered at the contact but was definitely wet and ready for the balls.

Her muscles clenched at the thought of taking them in but she had to do this as there was no way he would accept excuses for a second day so she closed her eyes as she took one ball between her fingers and held the chain with the other hand. Her body was so tense with the thoughts of how long she had left, what she was about to do and how her body was going to react that as she tried to insert the ball it was uncomfortable and she backed out.

Stephanie felt like a failure and she knew that Hunter would be so mad and she did not want to face him. There wasn't long until she had to go to work so she did the only thing she could think of and just laid her head back and stared at the ceiling trying to relax but all she could think of was what she wanted Hunter to do to her.

Every second that passed she was getting wetter and hornier and she felt like her body was going to explode. With only a couple of minutes left she decided to do the one thing that was scaring her and took hold of the chain and balls again and without thinking she pushed one of the balls in, gasping at the weird fullness of it she tried not to think about it as she pushed the other ball in.

The feeling of the balls inside of her was weird but as she sat up and picked up her panties from where they were laying on the bed to put them on she was beginning to understand why he said that they would be a punishment.

As she finished getting ready her movements to begin with were slow and tentative but as she got more used to them being inside of her she attempted to forget about them and just act normally. The drive to work was an interesting experience for her as she found that the bumps in the road caused the balls to jolt in her pussy sending bolts of pleasure throughout her body so by the time she arrived at work she just wanted them out before she got into trouble.

"Are you okay?"

Was somebody talking to her? Confused she turned around to see one of the other officers staring at her, "Me? I'm okay thanks. Why would you ask?"

"You're really flushed, I just wondered if you were coming down with something?"

The only thing she was currently coming down with was a serious need to cum, "No I'm fine thanks, I'm just a little warm as I was in a hurry this morning."

Relieved when he dropped it she walked away but she didn't dare sit down as every movement of the balls was driving her closer and closer to the edge of an orgasm so she leant against the wall to listen to the morning briefing.

Surprisingly Hunter was one of the first out of his cell and ready for the inspection but only because he wanted to watch Stephanie for as long as he could. He couldn't see much of her from afar and he couldn't tell if she was wearing the balls yet but as she moved closer eventually walking up the stairs to the top floor he knew that she was, her face was flushed and she looked in pain. What surprised him more than her actually having the balls was the fact that she was in a skirt, he wished that they weren't surrounded by officers and other inmates right now because there were a lot of things he wanted to do to her and they all involved her screaming his name.

As she finished searching the cell and walked out of it to move to Hunter's she heard a muttered remark about her wearing a skirt and how easy it would be for one of the guys to use her to get off. Under normal circumstances she may let something like that slide as it was a muttered remark but with the seriousness of the remark she couldn't so she stopped where she was and turned to face him, "Repeat that and make sure that it is loud enough for the other officers to hear." The sheer horror on the inmate's face at the fact that she heard him was not nearly enough punishment, "Come on, we don't have all day to wait around for you to grow a set of balls."

With his cell mate and the inmates from a few surrounding cells laughing at him he put on a brave face and smirked, "I said dressed like that in a skirt you are asking for one of the guys to take his sexual frustration out on you."

Hunter could feel his blood boiling and it was taking everything in him not to go and beat the living daylights out of the guy as she belonged to him. Before he realised what was happening the words were out of his mouth, "You wish you could get somebody like her."

All eyes turned to Hunter, especially Stephanie's, but she was not the person to speak up it was one of the higher officers, "And what is that supposed to mean Helmsley?"

What did he mean when he had opened his mouth? Now he had to wriggle out of this without ending up in the hole, "Well look at him and look at her, you have classy and then you have trashy. If you even have to ask if I mean St . . . Officer McMahon is classy then you really need a new job."

If she wasn't already flushed then she would be bright red right now listening to him compliment her like that, she just hoped that he didn't get in trouble for it.

"Very good. Be careful of what you say next time though." Turning back to the other inmate the senior officer gave him a stern glare, "As for you, don't you dare say something like that again and don't even attempt to try what you spoke about or you will not like what happens to you. Moving on."

Stephanie took that as her cue and walked over to Hunter, "Turn around, hands on the wall and legs shoulder width apart." Whilst he was turning around as instructed she instructed the officers on searching his cell before she moved to him and began to pat down his body pushing all thoughts of the balls and how much her body was desperate for his touch to the back of her mind as she did her job.

The touch of her hands was starting to feel more and more like an addiction so when she eventually finished searching him and making sure that he had nothing on him it was difficult not to grab her hands and force her to touch him more. Slowly turning back around to face her he had a chance to look at her and as his eyes caught hers he was even more convinced that she had the balls in her and now he couldn't wait to get her alone.

Waiting for the cell inspection to be done she took a step away from Hunter allowing him to turn around but when he did and their eyes connected she saw something in his eyes that told her that she had made the right choice. With her higher up stood beside her she tore her eyes from his, she had to look anywhere but at him as she had a job to do and sadly for her right now that job did not include throwing herself at him and begging him to make her cum. As soon as his cell was given the all clear they moved on but she knew that before long she would be right back here and on her knees.
