Elena trudges through the streets of Venice, her heart heavy and her eyes scanning the endless rows of shops and offices. Her once confident stride has now been replaced by a tired, shuffling gait. The weight of unemployment hung on her neck like an anchor, pulling her down day after day. Her flowing brown hair was tied in a messy bun, and her round cheeks were flushed both by the summer heat and the frustration of rejection after rejection. She clutched a crumpled newspaper tightly in her hands, the job section fluttering in the wind. Ink smudged across her fingertips, leaving a trail of desperation.
She finally finds the courage to cross the threshold of an elegant building near Rialto, where a freshly placed sign announced the search for a "maid for evening cleaning service." Hope flashes in her mind: perhaps here fortune will smile on her. Marco, the employer, a young and attractive man, welcomes her with a smile that does not hide his desire. He looks at her from head to toe, lingering for a long time on her generous breasts that rise and fall slightly with Elena's labored breathing. She feels uncomfortable but does not have the luxury of being able to refuse a job offer.
"Good, Elena," Marco begins, his voice warm and soothing. "I'm glad you're here. The job I'm offering you isn't just cleaning. There will be... conditions." He gazed at her intently, his pupils dilated. "You should know that I have a weakness for beautiful ladies like you. Especially for your... particular qualities." Elena, despite having understood the double meaning, forces herself to remain impassive. "What conditions?" he asks, his voice trembling.
Marco approaches slowly, his hands resting on Elena's hips. "I see that I don't scare you," he smiles, showing perfect white teeth. "Then I guess you'll accept the conditions. You have to come to work here, dressed in a certain way. Without a bra, and in clothes that show off your... wealth." He gives her an appreciative look. "If you accept a little 'extra' work," stressing the word extra rather ambiguously, "it will pay off." The silence thickens, as if the room has filled with embarrassment.
Elena takes a deep breath, her chest heaving and her breasts swaying slightly. She thinks of all the rejections she's received, of the money she doesn't have to pay the rent, of the outstanding bills. She wonders if she's willing to go along with an arrangement like this. Her breath catches, but determination pushes her to speak. "What...what are you asking me to do as extra work?"
Marco, licking his lips, leans in even closer. "Nothing you haven't already experienced," he replies ambiguously. "Thanks to your 'endowment'," Marco's eyes fix on Elena's breasts as he says this, "If you allow me to call them that. And in exchange, I'll pay you double the normal amount in cash." He looks at her sideways, as if expecting a violent response. But Elena, with some newfound courage, nods cautiously, "Just those?" he asks, clarifying the terms of the agreement.
"Of course," he whispers in her ear, his voice heavy with desire. "Whenever I need a little... relief, I can use them. I'm sure they're worth their weight in gold." Elena feels goosebumps, but she can't afford to refuse. She accepts, and Marco's face lights up. She knows she's making a difficult choice, but necessity pushes her to endure the humiliation for the sake of her future.
They start right away, and the tension between them is thick. Elena tries to ignore Marco's hands that constantly move around her breasts, but the feel of those forbidden touches gives her goosebumps. He gives her instructions on how to clean the offices, the desks soaked in male perfume, the leather chairs, the dim lights that create shadows that stretch across the marble floors.
Marco points out an office down the hall, the master's personal room. "There," he says, pointing to the closed door. "You need to do some... special cleaning." Elena approaches, her heart pounding in her chest, her hands sweaty as she grips the broom. She hears Marco's footsteps behind her, the soft sound of fabric caressing the floor. Fear creeps up her spine but she knows there's no escape and asks, "For this extra service, will you give me something right away?"
Marco smiles and approaches, his hands sliding around her shoulders and settling on her breasts. "Let's see how you do," he whispers, "and I'll decide how much you'll pay." He pushes her gently but firmly inside, closing the door behind her. The room is dark, lit only by a soft glow from a lamp on the table. Elena turns, her heavy breathing filling the space between them.
"Take it," Marco orders, gesturing to the cowboy hat that adorns the desk. Elena obeys, her heart pounding. The dark leather of the hat slips between her fingers, warm to the touch. He looks at her, his pupils glowing with excitement. "Now," he continues, "put it on and act like you're going to push me away."
Elena forces herself to remain calm, to not show the fear that is eating her. She lifts her hat, resting it on her head, her lashes shadowing her eyes. The sensation of the leather cylinder on her head makes her feel alien, as if she is wearing someone else's mask. She pulls her shoulders back and lifts her chin, mimicking determination. Then, with a decisive movement, she pretends to push Marco away.
But Marco doesn't move. Instead, he unbuttons the light blouse she is wearing, with a quick, decisive gesture. His warm hands slide over Elena's chest, sliding the fabric over those breasts that her bra can barely contain. The sensation of the fabric opening and her bare skin exposing itself to the cool air makes Elena jump. Her breasts, supported by a sturdy but low-cut bra, rise and fall with labored breathing. Marco watches her, his eyes shining like diamonds, his breathing becoming heavy.
Elena feels like she's falling into an abyss of forbidden desires, but desperation gives her the strength to continue. She leans against the desk, the cold wood contrasting with the heat that's spreading throughout the room. The dim light highlights the white skin of her breasts, the hard nipples that can be glimpsed under her bra. Marco's hands rise, as if attracted by a magnetic force, and begin to delicately massage her breasts, sliding over the hard nipples like pearls. A moan escapes her, and for the first time she realizes that a man's touch hasn't excited her in a long time.
Marco's fingers become insistent, as if they want to free the treasures that the fabric hides. Elena closes her eyes, breathing heavily. Embarrassment mixes with pleasure, and her legs begin to tremble. Then, with a decisive gesture, Marco grabs the hooks of her bra, opening it. The weight of her breasts pours forward, freeing her breasts to rise and fall like waves of the sea. The soft, warm skin of her chest is exposed to the air, and the feeling of vulnerability invades her, but at the same time gives her an unexpected sense of power.
Marco wastes no time in moving closer, his mouth moist and his lips parting in a satisfied smile. Elena's hands tighten around her cowboy hat, trying to resist the urge to cover herself. Instead, she lets go, feeling her employer's hands slide down her chest and curl around her nipples. The touch is rough, but pain and pleasure blend together, creating a sensation that makes her skin crawl. It's been a long time since she's felt anything like this, and yet, fear and disgust give way to a warm desire.
