Tease and denial stories
Tease and denial stories are erotic fiction about waiting. One partner keeps the other wanting, on purpose and by agreement, and decides when the wait ends. Chastity stories are the long version: days or weeks where one person holds the key, sometimes literally.
Most of what’s written in this niche lives on shop blogs and old forums, and it’s more interested in hardware than people. But the waiting is a great engine for a story, since everything between two people gets louder when they’ve agreed not to finish it yet. Here’s what makes these stories work, three openings to read, and how to get one written for you.

What makes these stories work
- Everyday life goes on. The grocery run, the dinner with friends, the work call. The wait is more fun when they have to act normal in public.
- The asking. Asking again, or trying to bargain for an early end, can be a game. The person in charge enjoys saying “not yet”, and the person waiting enjoys hearing it.
- The one who holds the key is having a great time. Her pleasure in this, and her sense of humor, keep it warm.
- It’s their game. Either of them can call it off, and that’s what lets them play it so hard.
- The ending pays off. A long wait needs a good last chapter.
Three openings
Three openings written for this page. They stop before anything explicit. Open one to read how it starts.
Advent
Her husband thought the calendar was a joke. It’s December third, and he’s stopped laughing.
Read the opening
The calendar hung by the coffee maker, where Sal couldn’t miss it. Annie had made it herself: twenty-four little paper doors, one a day, in her neat bookkeeper’s hand. Behind door one it had said Not today. Behind door two it had said Still no. Nice try, though.
He opened door three with his coffee in his other hand.
Ask me nicely at dinner. I’ll still say no. But I want to hear it.
“That’s not even a real rule,” Sal said to the empty kitchen.
From upstairs, over the sound of the hair dryer, his wife called down: “It’s on the calendar, honey.”
What happens next?
- He asks nicely at dinner, in front of their friends
- He adds a small door of his own to the calendar
- Skip to door twenty-three
The Conference
Four days in Cleveland, an agreement made at the airport, and a wife who’s very good at timing her messages.
Read the opening
Vik’s phone buzzed during the keynote. He looked down at his knee, where he was holding it under the table.
Day 2. How’s it going? Be honest.
He typed: I’m in a session on supply chain resilience.
That’s not what I asked.
On stage, a man from a logistics firm clicked to a slide with an arrow on it. Vik could feel his neck getting warm. The agreement had been Sunita’s idea, made at the curb at departures, with a straight face and a kiss on the cheek: nothing until he came home, and she’d want a full report.
Going fine, he wrote.
Good, she wrote. I’m about to make it worse. Enjoy your lunch.
What happens next?
- The next message arrives while he’s at the buffet
- He tries to negotiate, and it goes badly
- Skip to Thursday night, and the drive home from the airport
The Key on the Chain
Paige wears it on a chain around her neck to the office and to dinner parties. Only one person knows what it opens.
Read the opening
It was a small brass key, and it looked like a charm. People complimented it. Paige’s boss had asked if it was from a flea market, and across the table, Dev had started coughing into his napkin.
“Thirty days,” he’d said when he asked her, a year ago, and he’d been so embarrassed that he’d said it to the dishwasher. She’d thought about it for a week. Then she’d said: “Not thirty. I’ll tell you when.”
Now it was Sunday, day nineteen, and she was doing the crossword in the good chair with her feet in his lap. She tapped the key against her teeth, thinking about seven across.
“Five letters,” she said. “‘Patient.’ Any ideas?”
Dev closed his eyes. “I hate you,” he said happily.
What happens next?
- She asks how he’s doing, and wants details
- She takes the chain off and sets it on the table, where he can see it
- Skip to day thirty, which isn’t the end
Setups readers ask for
- A woman holding the key, the most common setup by far. See femdom stories and what femdom means.
- A weekend game that goes on longer than either of them planned.
- Distance and messages, where the teasing happens by phone.
- A man in charge instead, or two women, or two men: the waiting works for anyone. See BDSM stories.
- Lots of encouragement along the way. Plenty of readers want this paired with praise.
Get one written your way
Ask in your own words: a retired judge and his wife, very polite to each other at the farmers’ market, and she’s been holding the key for three weeks
. metime writes chapter one while you read, then you choose what happens next or write it yourself. Explicit chapters sit behind sign-up and an age check.
Questions
What is tease and denial?
Tease and denial is a kind of power play where one partner keeps the other wanting and decides when, or whether, the wait ends. It’s done by agreement, and it’s often playful. It works in the same room or by phone.
What are chastity stories?
Chastity stories are erotic fiction about one partner giving the other control over when they can have sex, sometimes with a locked device and a key, for days or weeks. In the kink sense the word has nothing to do with abstinence for its own sake: the point is the anticipation.
Does the person waiting really want this?
In metime stories, yes. Asking for more and being told “not yet” is the game they both signed up for, and either of them can stop it. If someone truly wants out, that holds.
Is it free to read?
The openings here are free. On metime, the first three chapters of your first two stories are free, with no card. After that there are three plans, from $6.99 to $14.99 every 30 days. Paid plans open soon; until then, nothing is charged.
