Eliza clicked Gene's office door shut behind her with her heart heavy and the taste of Carl's cum still clinging to her tongue. Her body pulsed with filthy, unnatural hunger, just like it usually did these days.
Being forced by Gene to suck off her boss had been humiliating and sexually thrilling, but it hadn't been satisfying. Eliza still hadn't been allowed to taste her master's cum today, but Gene had promised his Cumbunny that she was about to get something even better and more intense than swallowing his semen. Eliza shivered at that thought with a combination of horror and desire. But by this point, the horror felt faint, and the desire seemed to overshadow it almost completely.
All she had to do was convince her husband to go home without her, minutes after slamming a door in his face to spend time alone with Gene. It was an impossible task, but she had no choice but to obey. The terrible hunger inside Eliza trumped both logic and love. She somehow had to make it happen.
Eliza could see with a quick glance toward his door that David wasn't currently in his office, which left only a few places he could be. Unless, of course, he had already headed home without her... No, that would be too lucky. Eliza scanned the office. He wasn't by the water cooler. Or the copier.
As she looked, she drew furtive glances and smirks from men and disgusted glares from women around the office floor, and was freshly reminded of her inappropriate attire. She was currently wearing a tiny midriff-baring parody of a button-up blouse that was sheer enough to show her lacy push-up bra and a skirt so tiny that it barely covered her panties. Her fingers unconsciously tugged her skirt downward as her face flamed with embarrassment. She had been so humiliated by the blowjob she had almost forgotten about the other degradations Gene had forced on her today.
If he wasn't out on the floor somewhere and he wasn't in his office, there was only one place that David could be. Eliza hurried to the breakroom, where she managed to catch David just as he exited the bathroom, his face red and his eyes watery.
Eliza was taken aback for a moment. Shit. Her husband had been crying in the bathroom. Well, she supposed it made sense. Watching his wife dress like a slut in front of all his friends and colleagues couldn't have been easy, not to mention the fact that she had just silently rejected him in front of his worst enemy.
And David had always been a bit... weak, hadn't he? It was hard not to compare the defeated, sniveling man in front of her to her dominant master. Gene had just smugly ordered Eliza to come home with him, confident he would be obeyed, and here was her beta husband, crying over the fact he couldn't control her.
It was a twisted way of thinking that Eliza knew was caused by Gene's insidious influence, but it was hard to keep those sorts of thoughts from popping into her head lately.
"Eliza," breathed David, his eyes going wide. Then he seemed to take in her slutty outfit again, and his mouth hardened into a grim line. "Finished with your meeting?"
"I... I'm sorry," said Eliza, lamely. There really wasn't anything she could say to make this better. David was right to be upset. She had betrayed their relationship in every way but one... and she was planning to betray him in that final way this very evening.
"I don't fucking get it. You dress up like... like this," He said with a twist of his lip, gesturing up and down her body. "Even though I ask you not to. Then you don't even say a word to me? Close the door in my fucking face? Is this how you treat your husband?"
Eliza looked anywhere but David's eyes. "I... I'm sorry, honey," she said softly. "I can't explain. Not right now. But you have to trust me. Please."
"Trust you?" said David incredulously. "Like you trust me? You apparently can't even trust me enough to say one word of explanation for this fucking outfit, so forgive me if I find it hard to trust you back. Go on. Explain it to me. Why was it so important to show your tits and ass to everyone we work with today? Why did you have to ignore me and hurry to a meeting with my worst fucking enemy?"
Seeing the pained reluctance on her face, David let out a heavy sigh, and for a second, his anger seemed to drain away. "It's just," he said unhappily, his eyes blazing with sincerity, "I'm worried about you Eliza... This is so unlike you. It's like you're having a mental break or something. Just say the word, and I can help you. No matter what it is."
For a second, Eliza hovered on the edge of telling him everything. Confessing the horrible situation that Gene had put her in and how low she had fallen. Then another man breezed into the break room, obviously scanning Eliza's displayed body as he passed and letting out a soft wolf-whistle, openly and obviously disrespecting both husband and wife with no hesitation.
No. She couldn't. David wouldn't understand. All he would be able to see was the fact she had sucked Gene's cock... that she planned to fuck him. Probably the only reason he didn't suspect that she was involved with Gene already was how repulsive Gene would normally be to an attractive young woman like her. If David knew the truth, it would break him even worse than he was right now.
"I can't," whispered Eliza, knowing that the two words would just make her husband angry again.
David made a sound halfway between a growl and a sigh. "Fine. Well, there goes the precious trust you want between us..." he shook his head roughly, as if trying to shake away the feeling of oncoming tears. "After we get home tonight, I'm packing a bag. I'm going to go stay with Kim for a while. Get a little distance and try to calm down. I love you, Eliza, but... I don't know this version of you. I don't get it. And you won't help me understand."
Eliza's heart hurt. What she wouldn't give to hug David and tell him that she would never dress this way or make him feel disrespected again. But she couldn't promise that. If she knew Gene, this was just the tip of the iceberg. She didn't want to lose David. After she found some way to defeat Gene's evil grasp, she needed to be able to fall right back into her husband's loving arms.
And that's what made it so awful to say what she had to say next.
"Actually," she said in a rush, as if she could somehow just rip off the bandaid without pain, "I won't need a ride home today."
David looked stunned. "Why not, Eliza?" he asked numbly.
