Alice stood with her hands on her hips expecting me to continue. It didn't matter whether I stopped and handed her back the panties with the guilty look of someone who had been caught doing something they shouldn't, or continued stroking myself while smelling them; whatever I did the result would be equally as humiliating. I continued stroking myself awkwardly. unsure what else to do.
"Go on, have another smell, it looked like you were enjoying it just now. Breathe it in slowly."
I froze momentarily, not sure whether Alice was winding me up. when she raised an eyebrow expectantly, it was clear that she wasn't joking. Alice's intense gaze held me, and I couldn't look away as I did exactly as she said, breathing her scent in slowly while stroking myself a little faster. Her musky post-workout scent filled my nostrils, and it felt like I was getting a fix for a new addiction. That moment of calmness mixed with euphoria as dopamine flooded my body.
"I'm going to cum."
I groaned, passing the point of no return as I stroked myself through the panties frantically. Alice giggled, still holding my gaze as my legs started shaking and I felt my cock twitch inside the panties as it spewed load after load, filling my panties.
For a moment, I knelt panting on the floor, the moment I looked up to Alice, she was grinning from ear to ear. She was still wrapped in a towel, and I desperately wanted her to drop it to the floor. My mind struggled as waves of thoughts and worries surged through at hundreds of miles per hour. Why did that feel so damn good? Was Alice going to fire me for playing with myself at work? What if she told everyone about what she saw?
"That's enough excitement for this morning. You need to get dressed and leave before my office team arrives."
I remained on my knees, stunned at how nonchalantly Alice dismissed what happened. She threw my clothes at me, opting to keep the boxers.
"You're better off staying in those panties until you get home and clean them, Alex. There's no use having two sets of underwear soaked in your cum now, is there?"
I looked at the floor, unable to meet her condescending gaze as I muttered in agreement; I could already feel the panties sticking to me as my cum dried. I put my jeans and top on before packing the maid uniform in my bag and turning to leave.
"Are you forgetting something, Alex?"
I turned back to face Alice and saw she was looking at her panties still in my hand. Still dazed, I hadn't realised I was still carrying them. I was mortified as I handed them back to her, trying not to dwell on what she must be thinking as I went to leave, still carrying her sweat-scented panties.
A thousand questions circled through my mind on the journey home. I was so self-conscious about the panties with my cum drying inside that I avoided looking anyone in the face as I walked. What on earth had possessed me to hold her panties to my face and smell, knowing full well that there was a chance I could get caught? Also, why did I want to do it again so badly? The memory of her scent lingered in my mind, but the memory alone didn't do it justice. My mind daydreamed images of Alice exercising, and I craved to be close to her again.
The moment I stepped inside the familiarly depressing front door of my home, I was reminded of my plight from my brief life of luxury. It was usually during these moments that I craved the fixes of alcohol and drugs to provide the reward of dopamine I was so sorely addicted to. Instead, aside from a longing to see Alice again, I felt empty and tired from the workout this morning, and I crashed straight into bed.
The next day, I woke up with morning glory for the first time in almost a year. I had been so tired when I got in that I didn't remove the panties before drifting off instantly as I hit the bed; I had to peel them off and throw them in the washing machine along with the rest of the uniform before heading for a hot shower.
I didn't have work today, but Alice had already said I could join her for the workout at the usual time if I wanted to. As humiliating as it had been this morning, I didn't want to break the good habits I was building; it had been nearly three months since I had last consumed any alcohol or narcotics, and that was all down to Alice and the influence she had over me. Exercising regularly helped, and listening to Alice's advice, I started following her meal plan. It had been two months since I had started joining her on the exercises, but only a couple of weeks of eating healthier, smaller portions. The differences were already noticeable, and while I didn't have the mass of muscles I had built back when I was playing football, I was certainly beginning to look toned in certain areas.
A little later that evening, I was startled by a knock on the door. It was rare that I had visitors but the feeling of nausea in my stomach gave me the feeling that this wasn't a friend. Sure enough, as I opened the door, there stood a face I had thought I recognised, but couldn't quite put my finger on where from. The tall beefcake of a man standing by his side reminded me that his employer was someone I owed a lot of money to, and he was a little upset as to why I hadn't contacted him to pay back my debts since I had others. In truth, I had forgotten about the debt, it had been a wild night, and because I owed him six figures, it was probably a memory I had repressed.
Without the employer saying a word, the tall beefcake of a man, and his equally intimidating colleague lifted and slammed me against the wall, saying that his employer expected the first payment by the end of the week, or else things would turn ugly. As a preview of how bad things would be, both the employers hit me once in the rib, and I crumpled to the floor in pain as they left.
Shit. I could barely afford to pay my other debts along with the rent and utilities bills for my shitty flat. It was approaching midnight, and I still had another four hours before I had to leave to meet with Alice for our workout. I felt an anxiety attack coming, and I steadied myself against the wall as I tried to take control of my breathing; it took a moment, but I eventually managed to calm myself. As was usually the case when I felt down like this, my immediate reaction was to drown my sorrows with alcohol and get fucked up, but I was desperate not to let all my hard work so far go to waste. To stop my brain from running riot and the craving for my addictions to grow, I stepped outside and began to run. I had no destination in mind as I run fast, enjoying the evening breeze. Focussing on my breathing helped to take my mind off my worries temporarily, and when I'd run for close to twenty minutes, I stopped at an American-style diner that was open late.
Despite the late hour, the diner was quite busy and I ordered myself something light and sat down to people watch for a little while. On the other side of the road outside the diner was a busy nightclub, and I watched the comings and goings of people partying the night away. A part of me longed to be drinking and partying with them, but until I felt I had control over my addictions, I wasn't going to touch another drop of alcohol. I found it an entertaining distraction to give them all little backstories.
By the time I got home, There were still another two hours to waste before I left, so I decided to go to work and hang there, at least if I was there I was less likely to give in to my cravings. I brought the work uniform with me as a force of habit and started making my way to work.
The security man let me inside the building, and I went to the empty office. Running on auto-pilot, I stripped down in Alice's office and got dressed in the maid's outfit, weirdly feeling a little safer now that I was wearing it. Instead of sitting down, I kept myself busy by cleaning. The time flew as I worked, and before I knew it, Alice arrived.
"Alex! What are you doing here in your uniform? It's your day off."
I broke down as I told Alice of the evening's events. She listened patiently as I told her every detail of my indiscretions and how much money I owed to the wrong kind of people.
"Alex, there is a way I can help, but it won't be a free ride. I will allow you to stay at my place temporarily. There will be rules, and if you break any of them, you're out, so think carefully about this before you accept my offer and move out of your place."
Alice outlined the rules as she set up the workout gear. I was allowed no visitors, and I wasn't allowed to drink any alcohol unless she was present and had allowed it. Drugs were strictly prohibited, and I would have to contribute to the chores and keep the place clean and tidy. These rules were more than agreeable, I didn't really have any friends other than Lee, and I was ignoring his messages. He was a bad influence on me, and if I wanted to change, I needed to avoid him. I told Alice I would think her proposal over, but in my mind, I was ready to let my shithole of a flat go.
Alice's workout outfit was a little more revealing than usual today, and I struggled to concentrate when we got going. I fantasised about having that body close to mine, feeling her glistening skin rub against me. Needless to say, I struggled to keep focus during the workout.
After the workout, Alice went for her shower and left her clothes out once again. I felt like this was a trap, especially after she had caught me yesterday morning. Still, she'd only just switched the shower on, so I took the risk and picked them up, immediately bringing them to my face to inhale her scent. Once again, it felt like I was getting a fill of a much-needed fix. Even without touching myself, my cock engorged inside the panties, and I moaned quietly as I softly stroked myself. Like an addict, I inhaled once again, desperate to get the most I could get before she came out of the shower.
