The afternoon sun slants through the blinds, striping the classroom floor with bars of gold and shadow. I stand at the front, my hand resting on the edge of the lectern, the polished wood cool and unyielding beneath my palm. I'm in the middle of explaining developmental psychology, my voice steady, practiced—a mask of professionalism that has taken years to perfect. But beneath my neatly pressed slacks and the crisp button-down shirt I chose this morning, my skin burns with a familiar, secret heat.
I am a counselor. I am twenty-five, educated, respected. And I am wearing stockings beneath my trousers. The waistband sits high, a band of black lace cutting across my stomach, just below my navel. Against that lace, pressed deep inside me, the smooth silicone of the butt plug rests, a constant, intimate presence that I have grown to crave and to fear in equal measure. My body hums with the awareness of it—the gentle pressure, the way it fills a space that should remain empty, the faint, maddening pulse of my own muscles clenching around it.
I think of my secret as a separate self. There is the Lin Fei who stands here now, the youngest counselor on staff, whose advice students seek, whose calm demeanor is a given. Then there is the other one—the one who waits for evening, who locks his bathroom door, who slips a dildo between his lips and moans into a silk scarf. The one who loves the steel and leather that stays hidden in a locked drawer. The one who needs to be taken apart.
But today, the line between those selves has blurred.
I’m in the middle of a sentence about attachment theory when I see a flicker in the eyes of a student in the third row. A boy, overweight, his face rough and ordinary, his gaze sharp. His name is Chen Gang. He isn’t looking at the presentation. He’s looking at me. Or more precisely, at the small gap between my shirt and my trousers where, when I leaned forward to point at the screen, my shirt lifted. The waistband of my stockings—a whisper of black lace against pale skin—was visible for no more than a second.
I freeze, my hand hovering in midair. My stomach tightens. My shirt settles back into place, covering the evidence. I force a breath, collect my thoughts, and continue. “Secure attachment forms when the caregiver is consistently responsive to the child’s needs,” I say, my voice only slightly strained. I hope no one notices.
But Chen Gang does not look away. His eyes linger on my waist, then travel up to meet my gaze. There is a new quality to his expression. A stillness. A recognition. My blood runs cold. I think I’m imagining it, but I know I’m not. He saw.
I push on through the lecture, but my mind has split. A part of me is still anchored to the podium, making eye contact, gesturing at slides. The other part is sixteen years old again, hiding in a bathroom stall at my parents’ house, stuffing a rolled-up pair of my mother’s stockings into my pants, trembling with a terrifying mixture of shame and pleasure. The boy who saw. The secret he now holds. The threat.
I tell myself it was nothing. A flash of fabric. He saw a bra strap, a shirt tucked wrong. He wouldn’t guess. Why would he guess?
The class ends. I gather my materials, my fingers slightly unsteady. I do not meet Chen Gang’s gaze again. But I feel it, like a weight on my skin, as he shuffles out of the room with the others.
The next day, I am in a hurry.
My alarm failed, and I rushed through my morning routine. My coffee sat untouched, growing cold on the counter. I threw on my clothes—jeans today, and a light gray long-sleeved shirt—and checked myself in the mirror. No, no visible seams. No lace peeking out. But under my jeans, the stockings are there. The garter belt is there. And the plug is there, seated in that warm, waiting place.
I grab my bag and head out the door, my mind already running through my schedule. There’s a faculty meeting after my first class, then a consultation with a student at eleven. I have no time for the careful ritual I prefer, the slow, deliberate act of dressing this secret body.
All morning the plug is a subtle, nagging presence. I shift in my chair in the faculty meeting, the sensation drawing a tiny gasp from my lips that I quickly disguise as a cough. When I walk across campus, each step causes a gentle friction, a reminder that I am not the composed man everyone sees.
Between classes, I need to use the restroom.
I enter the faculty restroom on the third floor, hoping it will be empty. It is. I choose the farthest stall, the one in the corner, and lock the door. My hands are quick, my movements efficient. I relieve myself, trying not to think about the object inside me, the cool metal base against my skin. I stand and pull up my jeans, ensuring everything is in place.
It is only as I reach for my phone that I notice. No, not my phone. The remote.
The small, matte black device I use to control the plug’s vibrations. I must have pulled it from my pocket when I checked my phone earlier. It is sitting on the back of the toilet seat, a tiny, damning object.
I stare at it for three full seconds. I hear footsteps in the hall outside. A voice, calling to someone.
Panic seizes me. I rush, my hand closing around the remote, but my fingers are slick with sweat. It slips. It spins on the smooth porcelain surface, then falls. It lands on the tile floor just outside my stall door.
I hear the restroom door swing open.
There is no time. I step out of the stall, my heart hammering. A student is standing at the urinal—I can only see his back, his bulk. I don't see his face. I dart a glance down. The remote is not by my stall. It is not on the floor.
I must have kicked it. Or perhaps it bounced. Or maybe—
The student finishes, turns, and walks to the sink without looking my way. I bend down, my face burning, pretending to tie my shoe. The remote is not there. I search the immediate area, my eyes scanning madly. Nothing.
I have to go. I’m already late for class.
I wash my hands, my mind racing. I left the remote in the stall. Someone must have found it. The student who just came in—did he see it? Did he take it? Did he know what it was?
I meet my students’ faces with a smile. I am in my second floor classroom, the late afternoon light filtering through the windows, casting long shadows across the desks. I set down my lecture notes and open my laptop. The class settles, pages rustling, whispers dying down.
I take a deep breath. I can still feel the plug inside me, inert and heavy. Without the remote, it is just an object. A possession. I tell myself it is safe. Disconnected. No one could possibly—
A low thrum begins deep inside me.
My entire body jerks.
The vibration is subtle, a gentle hum that starts low and then intensifies. It presses against the walls of my body, a sensation I know intimately, but here, now, in front of twenty students, it is a horror. My hand grips the edge of the lectern. My knees tremble.
I force my voice out. “Good afternoon. Turn to page forty-two in your text.”
The vibration stops.
I suck in a tiny breath of relief, my fingers still white-knuckled on the wood. I glance across the classroom, my eyes scanning. Is someone watching? Does someone see the flush creeping up my neck?
The vibration resumes. A different pattern. Short, pulsing bursts.
My hips twitch involuntarily. My body tries to clench around the plug, to ride the sensation, but I force it still. I pin my thighs together under the desk. A fine sweat breaks out on my forehead. I reach for my water bottle, take a long drink, use the motion to hide my shaking hands.
“It’s important to understand the difference between classical and operant conditioning,” I begin, my voice slightly breathy. I clear my throat. “Classical conditioning… pairs a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus…”
The pattern changes again. A continuous, mid-level vibration. It goes on. And on.
I lose my train of thought. I stare blankly at my slide, the text swimming before my eyes. The sensation begins to consume me. The steady pressure from the plug, the deep vibration that seems to resonate through my pelvis and up my spine, makes my legs feel weak. I shift my weight from one foot to the other, but it only amplifies the feeling. I can feel the plug pressing deeper inside me, the vibration sending tiny shockwaves through my perineum, up into my stomach.
A soft, choked sound escapes my throat. I disguise it with a cough. I cover my mouth with my hand, my face burning.
I can't turn off the remote. I don't have it. Someone is playing with me. Someone found it and they are testing me.
My mind conjures a faceless stranger, someone in this room, pressing buttons, watching me squirm. The thought is both terrifying and exhilarating. A hot shame floods through me, followed by a wave of arousal that leaves me dizzy. I am being controlled. I am being observed. The hidden part of me, the part I keep locked away, is being pulled out into the light.
I force myself to continue the lecture. I rely on muscle memory. The words come, but they are hollow. My focus is entirely on my body, on the foreign object inside it, on the hand that holds the power.
I pace to the end of the podium, hoping the movement will distract them, but the vibration continues, a relentless, deep massage. My legs are trembling. I stop and lean against the wall, using it for support. My face feels like it's on fire. I think everyone must see it, the flush, the tremor, the way I can't quite look anyone in the eye.
I glance towards the back of the room.
A student sits by the window, his hand in his pocket. Chen Gang. He is watching me with a faint, almost imperceptible smirk. His eyes are not on the board, not on his notebook, but on me. I am fixed in his gaze.
When our eyes meet, he doesn't look away. His smirk widens, just a fraction. And the vibration inside me intensifies, becoming a sharp, pulsing demand.
My breath hitches. I look down at my notes, my vision blurring. I know.
It is him.
He has the remote. He found it in the bathroom, and he knew. He saw the lace the other day, and now he knows everything. He knows the Lin Fei who stands here, who lectures on child development, is also the Lin Fei who wears stockings and a butt plug in his underwear.
The vibration changes to a series of sharp pulses, then a slow, rolling wave. It is designed to tease, to torture. My body responds before my mind can catch up. I feel a familiar heat building in my groin, the stirring of an erection. I press my thighs together, but it does nothing. The plug is hitting a spot deep inside me, a spot I only explore in the privacy of my own room, in the dark.
I pace again, hoping to walk off the feeling, to assert control. But each step is a fresh agony. The plug shifts inside me with every stride, the vibration now a constant, low hum. The sensation is no longer just uncomfortable. It is building towards something. A shameful, public climax that looms closer with every passing second.
I can't let that happen. I cannot.
I stop at the lectern and grip it with both hands, hiding my lower body behind its bulk. I look at my notes, but I am not reading them. I am praying. Begging my body to obey.
“And… and that’s where we’ll stop for today,” I say, my voice a strained whisper. “Please remember to read chapter eleven for our next class.”
I need to get out. I need to find Chen Gang, to confront him, to take back the remote. But even as the thought crosses my mind, a darker, more shameful part of me whispers other things. It says: *What if he continues? What if he takes control? Will it feel as good as you imagine?*
I gather my things with shaking hands. The students start to leave. Some linger, asking questions, but I brush them off with a terse, “See me tomorrow.”
I am desperate to escape.
I duck out of the classroom and into the hallway, my legs still unsteady. I have not removed the plug. I should go to the bathroom and take
