“What have you come up with?” she asked.
“Honestly, I can’t think of how long some of the things take, but I’ll guess I should be able to do it in 3 or 4 minutes?”
“I have no idea either,” she laughed, “that’s why I asked you. But, I guess that sounds good.”
“I have an idea?”, he offered and Kim prompted him to continue, “I could put everything back the way it was, do it again, and we’d know the difference?”
Kim laughed and sipped her tea, “Love it. You go get everything and I’ll set a stopwatch on my phone.”
The two of the them were very entertained as David went through the exercise. Kim enjoyed watching David dress and undress in front of her, struggling to get the cage on, and seeing him get aroused as he waited for her to unlock him now that she had the key. It was so amusing that she had him run through it 3 times so they could get a good average. By the end, David was a little winded, they were both laughing; and they figured out that he could have reasonably saved 3 and half minutes if he had done it cleanly the first time.
“3 and half,” Kim announced, “210 seconds. What should we do with that?” David was cleaning up after Kim had finished her tea. “I know. 3 and half days in the cage, and 210 spanks, or swats, or strokes of the cane. We’ll mix those up.”
The next few days reinforced David’s focus on the little things. And there were more than few releases for him, always at Kim’s pleasure. A quarantined lesson learned, and he always wore a mask outside.
