Sofia was feeling miserable like the weather. She had arrived in London 6 months earlier from her native Germany to find work. Leaving everything behind, friends, family, a now ex-boyfriend. She was brought up on a farm in the communist east, dreaming of a life over the wall. Now she was in the west, she couldn't help but feel let down with capitalism and secretly wished she was back on her farm in Saxony. She had used here brains and beauty to get where she was today. At 31, she knew the later wouldn't last for ever.
Sofia had moved into a shared house when she first arrived, with the plan to get her own flat once she settled into her new job. However, the money for a flat was never there and she still lived in the same house in North London. There were three other flat mates, two guys and another girl. Sofia quite liked her flatmate's, despite as she reasoned, the obvious disadvantage of them being English, and had secretly fantasized about her flat mate Adam.
Adam was about 6 years her junior. Although he wasn't your traditional tall dark and handsome type, he was full of life, had a nice smile and made Sofia laugh. Sofia was acutely aware of the age difference and thought that any 25 year old male would be happier shagging his merry way around the post codes of London. Adam on the other hand was also totally smitten with Sofia, he fantasied about her and thought she looked like a Greek goddess and would love to have the opportunity to worship her. However, he thought that she would see him as an immature oaf, and that she deserved better. As a result, they had never done anything past some serious flirting.
"Hi Sofia," Adam asked as he bounced into the living room, "can I borrow some of your shoe polish?". He was brandishing his work shoes, and was obviously getting ready for another week at work.
"Sure" she said and disappeared into her room to retrieve it. When she had returned, Adam was sat on the floor in front of the sofa, with his shoes laid out on newspaper, ready to get cleaned. Sofia handed him the polish and sat back down on the sofa, pretending to watch TV. In reality, she was watching Adam. She was wondering who he had been with on the weekend and what he must be like in bed. She had heard him enough times and the noises his lady friends made left her in no doubt that he knew his way around the female form. She hadn't had sex in a while and was feeling quite horny and here sat on the floor in front of her, was a man who could definitely satisfy her. This made her feel even more hot. All she had to do to scratch her itch was say 2 little words to Adam, and she too could experience she was sorely missing. The 2 little words were "Fuck me!". However, she didn't ask. Like most, she was afraid of the rejection. Plus, they were flatmate's and it would be awkward for them both if he refused.
"OK, get a grip Sofia" she thought to herself, "if you're that horny, just go to your room and get busy with your long-handled hairbrush.". She hadn't noticed, but she had crossed her legs and was bouncing her foot up and down. This action caused her inner thighs to rub together, which excited her even more. She was so lost in her day dream of dirty sex, that she didn't notice that Adam had finished his work and had seen that she was watching him.
"Are you OK?" he asked, a little wry smile on his lips. He wasn't an expert on woman by any means, but he could see that Sofia was looking a little flushed, and he knew what that normally meant. He thought that this might be the perfect time to push his advantage.
"Thanks for letting me borrow your polish. Well, I didn't borrow it as I'm hardly likely to return it am I? So I guess I owe you a favour in return. Anything you want, just name it and I'll do it!"
Sofia looked down at him, her foot had stopped bobbing up and down. She couldn't believe that her she was, wanted to have sex and sat in front of her was a man willing to do anything she wanted and all she had to do was ask.
"Uuuh!", Sofia was lost for words. She didn't know how to ask for what she wanted. She looked deep into Adam's eyes, desperate for a sign that he would indeed do anything she wanted, but all she could muster was a stutter.
"OK" Said Adam. "In return for letting me use your polish, let me polish your boots as well"
"Um, OK" said Sofia. This wasn't quite what she had in mind, but now felt that now the moment had gone and all that she would now get out of Adam was a clean pair of boots.
Adam moved over to sit in front of Sofia, and before she could object he started to apply the polish to the boots that she was wearing. They were ankle boots made of black leather, with a rounded toe and a chunky heel. They were Sofia's favourite and she wore them pretty much all the year round. They were fairly well worn and the tops were creased from repeated wear. Adam had gripped the heel of her boot and was slowly and methodically rubbing polish into the top of her boot.
"Um, wouldn't you rather I took them off first?" She asked. She could feel his fingers massaging the polish through her boot leather and was enjoying the sensation.
"No, really this is fine, just think of me as one of those shoe shine boys you get in the City" Adam said.
"OK, but you had better do a good job or I won't give you a tip" She cooed. Oh well, she thought, this is better than nothing and he is sweet for doing this. She pushed herself further back into the seat and watched as Adam pushed up her jean hem to polish the ankle part of the boot. His head was no more than 6 inches from her boot.
"Careful you don't get any on my skin" She chided.
"Yes miss" he replied, feeling quite submissive. His reply made her feel much more regal and in control than she did 30 seconds ago.
Adam has finished applying the polish and started using the brushes to buff the polish into a shine. He brushed quickly and energetically.
"Slow down", she ordered, "that's tickling my foot". He didn't reply, but did as she wanted and slowed his brushing down and also stopped pushing the brush hard against the leather.
