I am a 35-year-old happily married man and I have always been faithful. I do however, have a crush on my wife's best friend Claire. When we all spend time together with her and her long-term partner, I have to ensure I am not staring at her face, figure or as someone with a foot fetish her feet. Her partner occasionally teases her about her feet because her big toes are slightly wider than most and I look forward to him doing this so I can have a reason to look at them. There is nothing at all wrong with them and I have often fantasised about them.
Claire and Chris have 2 small children and Claire wanted to surprise him for his birthday but with child care issues decided that she would rent a cottage for the weekend in the countryside with a huge garden for the children to play in whilst the 4 of us could have a responsible but boozy weekend. I was excited to be spending 3 days with Claire but also getting away with my wife and getting a chance to relax. The 4 of us get along very well but the attractiveness of Claire is a massive bonus. She is around 5ft 8, slim, with light blonde shoulder length hair, thick black framed glasses and has a quirky look that I like.
The first day we had drinks outside and then in the evening we settled down to play board games in pyjamas. Claire had her feet up on the sofa and I had to snap myself out of staring at them several times and wondered if she had noticed. Importantly my wife hadn't.
On the Saturday we went out around the village and then around 16:00 we settled again in the garden with some drinks. Everybody looked well relaxed so I took the opportunity to go to the toilet. However, I knew I was actually going to sneak into her room and get my nose in her shoes. When I have been at their house before I have sniffed her socks from the laundry basket in the bathroom or a quick sniff of any shoes laying around.
As soon as I entered the room, I could see the white tennis shoes she had been wearing the day before. I put them straight to my nose but unfortunately there was little scent to them. They were very white and presumably brand new. I was still instantly hard but wanted more. A small pile of worn clothes on the floor next to the suitcase identified her socks which I grabbed but again the new shoes had kept her feet pretty scentless. I replaced the sock to the pile and surprised myself by grabbing some pink, lacey panties.
I opened them and put the skimpy knickers straight to my nose. There was a strong scent from these and they were clearly well worn. I moved the panties up and down from where her pussy and her ass had been and I was so engrossed in the moment I wanted to devour them.
Without thinking of the danger, I took them into the bathroom next door and wanked into the sink whilst clutching them to my nose. I came so quickly and then realised I needed to return them. I cleaned myself up and went out to the landing and listened. All was quiet so I again crept open their bedroom door and headed to the wash pile. As I took the panties out of my pocket the ensuite toilet door opened and Claire looked straight at me. She had come up to pee and recognised I was in the main bathroom and gone there instead. I didn't know what to do and felt my face go so red and a clear panic struck me. I instantly thought of losing my wife and everything we had built together. I was also stuck in a cottage with my wife, her best friend and partner who would all hate me.
Despite my crush and being a foot perv I do love my wife very much and it all seemed to be over through not being able to control my kink. She looked at me with a very serious expression and asked "what are you doing?"
There wasn't an explanation, all I could say was how sorry I was. I begged not to say anything and said I would do anything and would never do such a thing again. I imagined she would charge past me and tell everyone but she just stood looking at me. She then approached and said "I'll have them back" whilst putting her hand out. I passed over the panties and felt shame dripping from every pour.
"I am not about to spoil this weekend or end my best mate's marriage. The kids love you too but you are going to pay for this. I need to think how but for now don't even think about coming in here again. Now we're going to go downstairs and act normal." She said that dialogue so calmly that I was shocked how quickly she had processed it all.
We returned outside and I went to kick the football with the kids to not be in any conversation. I wasn't sure how to make small talk after what had happened. Later on, and after several more beers I was able to join in a little more.
Things seemed pretty normal but I was so worried about those words "you'll pay." What did she have in mind? A few hours later we were all about ready for bed. I decided to wash up the glasses and few pots whilst people got sorted, mainly to hide away for a minute.
Shortly after Claire came back downstairs and into the kitchen for a glass of water. I handed her a glass and moved aside from the sink. The drinks had massively increased her confidence as she turned off the tap, she looked right at me and with a smirk said "Goodnight pervert." I again felt humiliated but also a little comforted knowing she was making fun of the situation/me. She then turned and walked off towards the stairway with a confident strut that knew I was I watching.
We were to return home on the Sunday morning and we all said our goodbyes as I drove the wife and I home and Chris drove home Claire and the children. I was quiet on the way home but was able to pass it off as concentrating on the windy country roads.
When I got home, I had a text from Claire. This only ever happened when she wanted ideas for the wife's birthday or Christmas presents and none were close. I pressed the text with a sense of dread knowing my fate was in her hands. The text read: Wednesday is my none working day. You'll need to book it off work and be at my house for 9:15 when I get back from taking the kids to school. You're going to spend a day making it up to me. You will also bring me a bottle of prosecco and strawberries. Don't dare be late.
I was again shocked by how confident and controlling she was coming across and was a mix of nervous and excited as to what she had planned. Was I going to be a glorified handyman for the day, a cleaner or did she have other things in mind? I knew instantly I was going, I couldn't risk the consequences.
On the Wednesday morning I got up as normal and dropped my wife off at work before returning home. It was still only 8:00 and Claire's house was only 15 minutes away. I went to the shop and bought prosecco and strawberries as ordered and then some chocolates.
I waited around the corner from 9:00 to ensure I wasn't late. Then at bang on 9:15 I went to the back of the house as normal and nervously knocked on the kitchen door. I could see through the glass she was in there and had not been back long as she seemed to be putting some shopping away in her coat.
