A Day of Torture and Her Feet Waiting for Me at Home

Marcos left his apartment when the July sun was already crushing the city with a violence that made the asphalt glisten as if it were breathing. His shirt stuck to his back before he reached the corner. He huffed. It’s going to be an infernal day.

He wasn’t talking only about the heat.

Summer was a particular season of torture for him. Not because he hated the heat, but because heat stripped feet bare. And women’s feet had been his obsession for as long as he could remember: a desire he couldn’t bring himself to name out loud and that he carried like a silent debt, a hard cock straining against his fly every time he saw a bronze heel on a sandal.

***

On the subway, the car smelled of bodies and hot plastic. Marcos clutched the center bar, eyes fixed on the wall. He lasted thirty seconds.

The woman standing opposite him wore leather sandals and sheer stockings, almost transparent, which the sweat had clung to her feet like a second skin. She swung one sandal from the tip of her big toe without effort, as if she didn’t know she was doing it. The arch of her foot gleamed beneath the damp fabric.

Marcos felt a sharp blow in his chest and his dick shoved hard against his pants.

Don’t look.

He looked. He imagined carefully lifting that sandal, letting it fall to the floor, pressing his lips to the hot fabric and sucking through the stocking until it stuck to his tongue. The smell, he thought, would be intense. Salty and rough. Shoving the whole big toe into his mouth through the fabric and sucking it until it was soaked with saliva, feeling the taste of a woman’s sweat slide down his throat. He inhaled slowly as if he were already feeling it, and had to brace his briefcase against his thigh to hide the cock throbbing raw against his zipper.

When the woman got off at the next stop, Marcos exhaled through clenched teeth. You’re sick. He said it without much conviction.

***

On the street, he passed a shoe store. He should have crossed to the other side. He didn’t.

A woman of about forty-five was sitting on the shop bench trying on high-heeled sandals. Her feet, bare, showed toenails painted dark red and heels marked with the fine cracks of summer, that dryness the city leaves on the skin. The saleswoman was fitting the shoe onto her foot with that professional efficiency that doesn’t look. The woman did look. At the ceiling.

Marcos pretended to check his phone.

He imagined kneeling on the store floor. Taking that foot in both hands. Running his thumb over the cracks in the heel, feeling the hardness of the skin, the roughness. Inhaling slowly before bringing his lips close. Shoving all five toes into his mouth at once, sucking them as if they were a cock, sticking out his tongue to lick the arch from tip to heel while the woman kept staring at the ceiling and the saleswoman pretended not to see. Cumming in his pants without touching himself, just from the taste.

Guilt hit him like nausea. He kept walking with his cock hard and throbbing at every step. The image took three blocks to disappear.

***

In a square with a dry fountain, a young woman was sitting on a thick cloth blanket with her back against the wall. Legs stretched out, feet bare, soles black with asphalt and dust. She was dozing, her head lolling to one side.

Marcos stopped.

He shouldn’t have stopped, but there was something about that woman’s feet that rooted him to the ground. The toes were slender, almost delicate. The nails were neglected but naturally shaped, without the deformity of extreme abandonment. Just the accumulated grime of days on the street, honest and direct.

I want to clean them with my tongue.

The thought came before he could intercept it. He imagined kneeling. Pouring water from the bottle he carried in his briefcase over those feet, slowly, watching the dust dissolve and run down his tongue in a murky trickle. Using his thumbs to rub the sole, feeling the soft skin underneath. Bringing his face closer to see better. Licking between the toes until she woke up, continuing to suck even if she opened her eyes, shoving the whole sole into his mouth while she watched him without saying a word.

He left a five-euro bill on the blanket without saying anything. Without meeting her eyes. He walked away with his cock dripping inside his briefs.

***

A clothing boutique had its door open. A young saleswoman, barefoot on a wooden step stool, was arranging clothes on hangers in the inside display window. Her feet, small and pale, reddened by the heat of the floor, gripped the edge of the stool so she wouldn’t slip.

Marcos slowed his pace.

The saleswoman didn’t see him. She stretched her arm, rose onto her tiptoes, her weight falling onto the balls of her feet. He thought about the heat that skin must have absorbed against the wood. About the smell. Morning soap and midday sweat mingled into something he would have loved to breathe up close, with his nose buried between those toes, while he jerked off until he came on the shop floor like a dog.

Stop. They’ll see you.

He kept walking. His heart took a block to calm down. His cock took longer.

***

A couple walked on the opposite sidewalk. He wore a backpack. She carried her sandals in her hand and went barefoot, directly on the city asphalt, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Her feet, tanned, with toenails painted aqua green, picked up dust with every step. The soles darkened.

Marcos watched them until they turned the corner.

You’re an animal. He tightened his grip on the briefcase. Control yourself.

He didn’t control himself. Control wasn’t exactly what he needed. What he needed was to get home and come on someone’s feet.

***

In the park two blocks from the office, a group of women were doing outdoor yoga on colorful mats. Some wore thin sports socks. Most were barefoot. Their feet pressed into the mats in poses that exposed them from different angles.

Marcos sat on a bench.

He knew he shouldn’t. But he sat down. He pretended to check his phone. He watched. White soles, pink soles, tanned soles. Feet of different sizes, with painted and unpainted nails, with the calluses of sport or the soft skin of someone who never goes barefoot. The crowd in the park made him invisible, and that invisibility was his worst ally. His cock swelled inside his pants every time one of them lifted her hips and her toes opened like a flower.

Five minutes. He allowed himself five minutes. Then he stood up, walked straight to the office, and didn’t look back.

***

The afternoon meeting lasted two hours.

His coworker Bea, seated to his right, took off a flat sometime during the second item on the agenda. Marcos noticed by the movement of her foot under the table, that slide of the shoe dropping to the floor. He didn’t see it. He felt it.

He kept taking notes on his laptop with a concentration that was pure fiction.

Bea’s bare foot moved restlessly on the floor, her toes curling up and down. Marcos fixed his eyes on the screen. Don’t look. He thought about the heat of that floor. About skin hot after hours inside a shoe, about the smell it would give off if he brought it to his nose. He imagined himself under the table, kneeling between Bea’s legs, sucking the top of her foot while she kept attending the meeting in a firm voice, stuffing one toe after another into his mouth until she clenched her thighs.

When Bea put her shoe back on to leave, Marcos waited a few minutes before getting up. His cock was so hard he couldn’t stand without it showing. He didn’t want to walk out through the door beside her. He didn’t want to talk either.

***

The walk home was a compressed summary of the whole day in twenty minutes. A woman at the bus stop who took off her sandal to shake out a pebble, her stockings torn and her foot shining with sweat. A runner who stopped beside a bench and yanked off her sneakers to stretch her feet directly onto the grass.

Every scene was a knife. His body kept betraying him.

When he entered the lobby of his building, he was exhausted in a way that had nothing to do with work. It was the exhaustion of holding back. Of not acting. Of walking for hours among temptations without touching anything, with his balls tight and his cock hard in a cycle that hadn’t stopped since morning.

***

The apartment smelled of vanilla and something else, something Marcos recognized before he turned on the living room light: Laura’s specific smell when she’d been out all day.

She was on the sofa with her legs stretched out on the footrest. Barefoot.

Marcos stopped in the doorway.

Laura’s feet were dirty. More than usual, more than a normal day would justify. The soles darkened. The heels rough. The nails unpainted. Her toes moved slowly, one after another, as if she knew he was looking. As if she’d been waiting for this moment for hours.

“Long day, huh?” she said without turning around.

“Yeah.”

“Mine too. My sandal broke at noon.” She paused. “I walked back. With nothing on.”

Marcos swallowed.

“All the way?”

“All the way.” Now she turned. She looked at him with that calm that always undid something inside him. “I need a massage.”

It wasn’t a request. It was a statement. A command disguised as need, as always with Laura, as he had always liked it to be.

He knelt in front of the footrest.

Laura’s feet were hot. When he took them in his hands, he felt the day’s accumulated heat, the hardness of the heel, the relative softness of the toes. He inhaled. The smell was exactly what he had imagined for eight hours: dust, heat, living skin, her. And something more acidic underneath, more intimate, the sweat of a woman who had walked miles barefoot knowing she was going to make him eat her feet when she got home.

“With your hands… or your mouth?” he murmured, though he already knew the answer.

Laura leaned toward him with the sharp smile that always disarmed him.

“With your mouth, obviously,” she ordered, and her hand slid to the hem of her dress without haste, with that deliberation that always tightened Marcos’s chest—“stick out your tongue. Start with the heel. I want to see you clean them all the way, one by one. And you’re not touching your cock until I tell you to.”

Marcos pressed his lips to the sole of her right foot. He felt the roughness against his mouth, the heat on his lips, the salty, earthy taste. His tongue traced the arch slowly, without rushing, from the dirty heel to the base of the toes, sucking up the dust, swallowing the salt, noticing how every inch of skin filled his mouth with a flavor he had been fantasizing about for eight hours. Laura exhaled. Her hand was already inside her dress, and by the movement of the fabric Marcos knew she was rubbing her cunt with two fingers, slowly.

“Good,” she said softly. “Now the toes. Suck them like it’s a cock, Marcos. One by one. Take them down your throat.”

Marcos shoved his big toe into his mouth and sucked it. He closed his lips around it and sucked slowly, sticking his tongue out between the other toes, licking between one and the next, dragging the dust and sweat away with saliva. Laura moaned for the first time all night, a short, hoarse moan, and Marcos felt her cunt tighten just from hearing it. He kept going. Second toe. Third. He sucked them with the discipline of someone who had waited all day for this, his tongue circling the tips, sucking hard, swallowing every salty drop.

“All five,” Laura said, and grabbed his nape with her free hand. “Put all five in at once.”

He opened his mouth as wide as he could and shoved the whole foot in up to the instep. The five hot, dirty toes brushed his palate, his tongue pushing up against the sole beneath them, saliva spilling over his chin. Laura pushed her heel against his jaw and Marcos pushed back, pressing his lips around the foot, sucking it as if it were the only way to breathe. He felt the flavor concentrate against his tongue, dense, filthy with the whole day, and his cock throbbed so violently inside his pants that he thought he might come without touching himself.

“Look at me,” Laura said, and he lifted his eyes with her foot still in his mouth. Her hand was buried between her legs, her dress hiked to her waist, her fingers circling her clit. Her cunt gleamed, wide open, wet to the thighs—“Now the other one.”

Marcos let go of her right foot with a wet noise of saliva and took the left. It was even dirtier, with a dark line between the toes that he licked without thinking, pushing his tongue between them, sucking until it disappeared. Laura was spreading her cunt with two fingers and showing it to him while he sucked her foot. The smell of aroused woman reached him from above and mingled with the taste of hot feet in his mouth, and Marcos felt like he was going to explode inside his pants without even having undone them.

“Take it out,” she ordered, her voice already broken with pleasure. “The cock. Take it out and jerk off, but don’t come. Don’t come until I say so.”

Marcos opened his pants with one hand while still sucking. His cock sprang out, hard, swollen, the tip purple and already dripping onto the rug. He grabbed it and started jerking slowly, squeezing the base so he wouldn’t come, while he slid his tongue under the arch of Laura’s left foot and licked the whole sole in one long pass.

“Like that,” Laura panted. “Like that, don’t stop. Eat my feet. Eat them until I come on your face.”

Marcos grabbed both her ankles and pressed her feet against his face, burying his nose between both insteps, sticking out his tongue to lick both arches at once. The smell was brutal now, concentrated, a mixture of asphalt and women’s sweat and something sweet from the skin. He sucked, licked, sucked toes, pushed his tongue between one and the next, his hands gripping her ankles hard so he wouldn’t let her go, and Laura writhed on the sofa with her legs apart, her hand moving faster and faster over her cunt.

“I’m going to come,” she said. “I’m going to come, Marcos, keep going, don’t stop, don’t stop.”

Marcos shoved all five toes of her left foot into his mouth to the throat and sucked with everything he had. He jerked his cock in the same rhythm, squeezing hard so he wouldn’t come, his hand slipping on the thread of spit falling from his mouth. Laura drove the foot into his face, arched her back, and came out with a rough cry that Marcos felt vibrate against her foot. Her thighs trembling, her cunt contracting visibly under his fingers, the liquid running down his hand to his wrist.

“Now you,” she panted, still breathless, and grabbed his head and pressed his face against the soles—“Come on the feet. On the soles. All of it. I want to see them soaked in your cum.”

Marcos jerked hard, his cock pointing between the two feet Laura had brought together at mouth level. He licked her instep one last time, tasted Laura all over, and exploded. The cum shot out in thick bursts, one after another, soaking the soles of her feet, streaming between her toes, forming white threads hanging from the heel. Marcos moaned against her skin while he kept cumming, his cock throbbing in his hand, semen dripping onto Laura’s dirty feet as if it were an offering.

“Clean them,” she said then, her voice calm again, that calm after coming that disarmed Marcos more than any order before it. “With your tongue. Everything. The last drop.”

Marcos obeyed. He stuck out his tongue and licked his own cum off Laura’s soles, sucking his semen from between her toes, swallowing his own taste mixed with hers, feeling Laura watching him from above with that sharp smile he already knew. He sucked until her feet were clean of his cum, though not of the day’s dust, and kept sucking after that, now without orders, just because he didn’t want to stop.

While he licked, the whole day paraded through his head: the woman on the subway with the sweaty stockings, the woman in the shoe store with cracked heels, the dust-black feet of the woman in the square, the barefoot salesgirl on the stool, the tanned-footed girl walking without sandals, the yoga group in the park, Bea with her flat on the floor.

So many feet. An entire day of feet he couldn’t touch.

And yet these were the only ones that mattered. Laura’s. Because Laura knew. Because Laura used them like that, as a weapon and a gift at the same time, because she liked seeing him kneel with that devotion that gave her something Marcos didn’t know how to name but recognized every time.

“Good boy,” she murmured, stroking his hair with her foot still resting on his wet cheek. “Tomorrow I’m going to come back barefoot too.”

Marcos nodded against the sole of her foot. He kept licking. The salt, the dust, the raw heat of July asphalt. The taste of an entire day she had walked barefoot for him, even if neither of them said it out loud.

Outside, the city was still boiling. Inside, Marcos had come home.
