It was already past two in the afternoon when I finally rolled out of bed, my body and hole aching from being fucked over and over again in the gay sauna the previous night. The memory of it brought my cock to an aching hardness in its tight prison. I groaned as I rolled over to check my phone. No new messages from Mark or cage check requests. The lack of communication added to my suspicions that Mark and my blackmailers were working together - waiting, perhaps, to see what would come of my meeting with Mark in the evening...
I showered, scrubbing hard to get rid of the degrading writing on my face and body, then got dressed and left the hotel. I bought some steamed pork buns from a little cafe, and caught a bus across the causeway to Sentosa Island. I wandered down from the bus stop towards Sentosa Cove, staying in the shade to avoid the heat of the day. I thought I should try and scope out the area before I met Mark. I also needed to update my social media channels - some of my followers had started to wonder why I hadn't posted since I'd flown out from Bali. So I found a quiet spot on a sandy beach fringed with palm trees and took some shirtless selfies, explaining that I was taking a little detour from my Bali trip to visit a friend in Singapore, and posted it to all the usual places.
Scrolling through the comments underneath on my BlueSky profile, I noticed one that tagged Merlin Moore's account and a string of emojis. Other users had added comments underneath: "Was it really Danny in that video?", "I would've spanked Merlin harder!", "Are they going out?", "Is Danny really wearing a cage?" and so on. I considered deleting the comment chain, but it was barely worth it. It would just annoy those users while probably drawing further attention to my bulge (and not in a monetisable way). Wait, what was I thinking? Did I really want to become someone like Mark, making money from flaunting my body? I pushed the thought out of my mind. After all, I was a travel influencer, not an amateur porn star...
There was still plenty of time before meeting Mark, so I did some more searches for my name to see what was out there already. Fortunately, apart from Merlin's spanking video, there didn't seem to be any material that identified me specifically. A few people had posted on Reddit about the AirAsia flight - photos of me being marched down the cabin to my seat at the back, and sucking that asshole's cock before we landed. I caught myself rubbing my cage through my shorts to try and ease my erection at the memory, stopping before anyone around me noticed. For now, at least, I hadn't been named in those photos, although I remembered at least one passenger had recognised me at the time...
At quarter to seven I made my way to the meeting point. Mark was already waiting for me. "Danny!" He came over, hoping for a hug, but I pulled away.
"Danny, I'm sorry." He sighed. "I didn't mean for all this to happen. Well, not like this, anyway." He turned away and leaned on a railing, looking out over the marina, which was full of small sleek boats and yachts. "I- I made a deal. Involving you. But that was a mistake, and I really regret it. Please." He turned back to face me. "I'm going to make it right."
I folded my arms. "So... you were in on this all along? What the fuck, Mark? This guy has all these photos of me caged and he wants 100k from me! Why the hell are you helping him? Is he paying you?"
Mark flinched. "It's not- not like that. I'm sorry!" He looked genuinely upset. "I didn't know what to do... I got caged as well, owed him a ton of money... He wouldn't let me cum, kept me locked for weeks at a time! And you know how active I gotta be on OnlyFans! Fuck, I was getting pounded by all these hung tops every other day, but it just wasn't enough, he kept asking me for more and more content, and my debt was getting bigger and bigger! I had no choice! I... I cut a deal..."
"A deal..." My hands were curled into fists. "Involving me?"
"Yes!" Mark said. "But that's why I asked you to meet here. Please, Danny, listen to me! I told him I couldn't stand it any more. That I should never have gotten you caged, and I wanted him to let you go. And Danny, dude, he said he'd negotiate with us if you came to Singapore and we all met in person. But I thought you'd be too pissed off to come if I told you earlier. Please, Danny, trust me, we can talk to him. Tonight, at the house."
"...All right." I said after thinking it over. "Let's negotiate. So, you gonna tell me who this guy is?"
Mark looked relieved. "This way. I can get us past the security gate. Uh... his name is Jiang Liaobei. Master Jiang, we call him. He runs all these houses for camboys, in the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, places like that. He's started to branch out a bit, acting as a manager for the guys like me who make content for him. Takes a cut of the profits. He likes to keep us caged so that we're horny all the time. Keeps us motivated. Even lets us write up the cage check messages for the new boys. I think Teo and Wesley write your ones? Anyway, he made me sign a contract that says I have to wear the cage if he says so, but I'm also free to, uh, quit at any time..."
"As long as you pay him whatever he says you owe him?"
"An exit fee. Yeah..." Mark sighed. "But Danny, he actually keeps his word. He has all these guys that used to work for him that still come to the house to do shoots with us. And all of them said that they made enough money to pay him off, or they worked off their contract, and that was it, they were free to go. Some of them started out like me - they went and had some crazy night out and then woke up somewhere, wearing the cage." Mark pauses. "It's just... Master Jiang is serious about releasing your photos if you don't settle up with him, or ignore the cage checks. So please, for both our sakes, don't piss him off..."
We passed a security hut, where a security guard recognised Mark and waved us through, and soon we were walking up to a large modern house with a well-kept front garden. Mark took out a keycard from his pocket and waved it over a scanner. The door unlocked with a click and he took me by the hand and led me inside.
"Most of the guys are out in town celebrating someone's birthday," Mark said. "We should head upstairs-"
A completely naked jock with sculpted pecs and abs emerged from one of the rooms. "Hello? Oh, hey, Merlin! You're back! And who is this cutie? Did you bring him here to have him fuck me?" He stepped over to a chair and knelt on the seat, leaning across the back of the chair, exposing his muscular, lightly furred hole to us. "What are you waiting for?" he pouted, glancing over his shoulder enticingly.
"Cameron," Mark smiled. "This is Danny. He's not here to fuck you - at least not right now. We need to talk to Master Jiang first."
"Oh, okay," said Cameron, standing up sheepishly. "Well, let me know when you're done. I need someone to do a good fuck scene with for next week or I'm fucked, you know? I only just got out of the cage, too..."
I wanted to ask Cameron more, but Mark ushered me up the stairs. "We should talk to Master Jiang first." We passed a bedroom with the door ajar, and through it I got a glimpse of a caged jock being railed by a man in a white bunny suit. "Not sure who the top is, but that's Hyson Chin," Mark said. "Met him in Taiwan last year. Some kind of big shot male model - has some arrangement with Master Jiang where he can unlock his cage if he has to do a professional shoot. Lucky bastard..."
Mark knocked on a door, then stepped back and sank to his knees, motioning for me to do the same. The door opened, and I looked up to see a middle-aged Asian man with a stocky, muscular build, wearing a black and silver shirt, black trousers and boots. "Come in, boys," he said, flashing me a smile. "Danny. So good to meet you in person. You look much better than in your photos. No, don't get up. Caged boys like you belong on your knees. Merlin, Danny and I are going to have a chat. Go and wait for us in the back corner. Clothes on the table, hands behind your back. You know the position."
Jiang sat down in a dark red leather armchair and grandly swept his arm across to the chair opposite his across a low lacquerware coffee table. I sat, facing him, my hands in my lap. Behind Jiang I could see Mark, kneeling and naked apart from his cage, watching at us with concern.
Jiang began to speak, his gaze trained on me. "I said to Merlin that he could tell you whatever you wanted to know about our... business arrangements. Maybe first we make sure we are both understanding correctly? I... manage a lot of models like yourself. Some are camboys, some are on social media, OnlyFans, JustForFans, you know, all those sites. Everything completely legal. Signed contracts to protect everyone who works for me. I'd like that for you and me, Danny Carmen. You make content for me, I take a management fee, you keep everything else, and when the contract ends, the cage comes off and you can go back to doing what you do. What do you think?"
"I... what about my cage? All this stuff about a contact makes it sound reasonable and fair, but you're also demanding a ridiculous amount of money to force me to keep wearing it. How can I trust you?"
Mark was frantically shaking his head silently, but I kept my attention on Jiang, who simply smiled, before putting on an expression of mock sympathy. "I was repeatedly informed by your friend Merlin that you were very interested in trying chastity - the full locked and denied experience, and a strict keyholder who makes sure that you stay caged all the time. Of course... if that was all a big misunderstanding... then Merlin needs to be punished severely for telling me all these lies..." Mark was trembling slightly, making me nervous watching him. "And then, maybe after I punish him, he gets so angry, he takes your photos and posts them online? Would be a real problem for you, yes? Are you sure you want to go down that path?"
I shook my head, feeling cornered. Jiang nodded and smiled beneficently. "Then let's talk about happier news. Your video with Merlin was so popular! So many people bought it on OnlyFans, much more than we expected, and also on JustForFans! So, Danny, I want to offer you a contract to make more content with Merlin and all my boys. Maybe, for one year, and then we see how you get on. I know Merlin wants very much for you to agree. I told him that if you do that, I'll unlock him and he will help you settle in to how we do things." Mark was nodding, but he froze when Jiang turned his head slightly to glance at him. "Or, you can walk away, but if you do that, I will have to take out my disappointment on Merlin, as I mentioned before..."
