**Chapter 10: The Edge of Madness**

As the minutes ticked by, Steve's body grew more and more exhausted, his muscles straining against the ropes. But he couldn't help himself, he was addicted to the pleasure, even if it was just out of reach. Hayley's fingers continued to dance on his skin, pushing him to the brink of orgasm, only to pull back at the last minute. Steve's complaints grew louder, his body trembling with need as he begged Hayley to let him come. Hayley's eyes gleamed with a sadistic light as she watched Steve squirm and beg. She seemed to be enjoying every minute of it, her fingers moving with a rhythmic precision that drove Steve to the edge of madness. He was trapped in a cycle of pleasure and pain, with no escape in sight. Just when Steve thought he couldn't take it anymore, Hayley's fingers stopped moving. The silence was sudden and oppressive, and Steve lay there, panting and straining against the ropes. He waited, his heart pounding in his chest, for Hayley's next move. But instead of resuming her torture, Hayley leaned forward, her face inches from Steve's. "You know, Steve," she whispered, her breath hot against his skin, "I think it's time we took things to the next level." Steve's eyes widened as Hayley's fingers disappeared from his skin. He lay there, his body trembling with anticipation, as Hayley reached out and grabbed a small object from the nearby table. It was a small, sleek device, with a series of wires and electrodes attached to it. Steve's eyes widened in horror as Hayley held the device up, a cruel smile spreading across her face. "This," she said, her voice dripping with excitement, "is a nerve stimulator. It's going to take your pleasure to a whole new level." Steve's body tensed, his muscles straining against the ropes as he realized what Hayley was planning. He tried to struggle, but it was no use. He was trapped, and Hayley was in control. With a flick of her wrist, Hayley activated the device, and a burst of electricity shot through Steve's body. He let out a scream of pleasure and pain, his muscles tensing as the device sent shockwaves through his nervous system. The sensation was like nothing Steve had ever experienced before. It was as if his body was on fire, his nerve endings screaming with pleasure and pain. Steve's eyes rolled back in his head, and he lay there, his body trembling with the intensity of the sensations. Hayley leaned forward, her eyes gleaming with excitement, as she watched Steve's body respond to the device. She was pushing him to the edge of madness, and she knew it. But she didn't care. She was addicted to the power, and Steve was her willing victim. As the device continued to pulse through Steve's body, he felt himself being pushed to the brink of sanity. He was trapped in a world of pleasure and pain, with no escape in sight. And Hayley was the one holding the reins, guiding him deeper and deeper into the abyss.
