Strung Out
Vanessa started doing housework after Jon left. The maid wouldn't be coming back, and Jon expected her to do a good job cleaning the home he provided. That was not a problem. Vanessa liked things neat and clean. She wasn't lazy. She liked having a maid, but she'd always cleaned up after herself before, and she didn't object to doing it again. As she looked at the list of things Jon expected from her, doing housework was the easiest task to accomplish.
She got a lot done in a short time. It didn't take long to clean the kitchen, run the dishwasher, make the bed, vacuum the living room, empty the trash, and get started cleaning the master bath. That seemed like more than enough for the first morning of her new reality, so she sat down and tried to watch some television. The gym she wanted to join wouldn't open for a few hours, and she needed a way to kill time until then.
It was almost impossible to concentrate on the television. Her mind kept wandering to other subjects; she kept losing track of the show, unable to understand what had been happening while she'd been daydreaming.
There was no mystery to the problem. She wanted to smoke. Vanessa repeatedly reached out for a pack of cigarettes that wasn't there. Trying to avoid thinking about tobacco made things worse: it became the only thing she could think about.
She needed to do something to distract her from the need for nicotine, so she got her vibrator and climbed into bed. She'd had sex that morning, but it was all for Jon's benefit, not hers. Sucking cock always made her horny, and she needed some relief. The fact that she was jonesing for cigarettes only made it more insistent. She touched the vibrator to her body, turned it on, and came very quickly.
Vanessa started again. It took a bit longer the second time, but she soon began shaking in a nice, satisfying orgasm. She paused for a long moment, enjoying the feeling of release. Then she turned the vibrator on again. The next orgasm took some work. She had to stop and start several times, but each time her sexual energy kept rising, and she eventually reached a state of such excitement that her body shook with tension and excitement. It went on and on, and when she finally managed to cum a third time, it was bigger than the first two combined. She cried out in relief, glad to finally feel something intense enough to block out the desire to smoke.
She put down the vibrator and smiled in satisfaction. Her whole body felt wonderfully relaxed. Closing her eyes, she tried to take a nice, refreshing nap. But she couldn't sleep. The craving for cigarettes kept asserting itself, giving her an unpleasant kind of nervous energy that made it impossible to think of anything else.
Thinking she'd feel better in the whirlpool, Vanessa walked outside to the pool, took the cover off the spa, and lowered her naked body into the water. The hot, bubbly jets felt wonderful, and helped her relax, but the need for a cigarette was never far from her mind. She finally gave up and walked to the bathroom. She wanted to take a shower before going to the gym and meeting a personal trainer, so she washed her body, shampooed her hair, then dried off with one of the wonderfully thick, soft towels Jon owned. She'd never experienced so much luxury before meeting Jon. She'd never lived like a rich person before.
The heated floor of the bathroom felt nice on her feet. When she was dry she went back to the kitchen, got a new nicotine patch, and applied it to her arm. The one Jon stuck on her butt was still there; clearly, Vanessa needed a second patch.
She got dressed in workout clothes, checked the gym's hours of operation, and decided that it would probably be open by the time she walked down there. She didn't have a gym bag so she stuffed a change of clothes and her purse into a shopping bag and left the condo. It was a 10 minute walk to the gym, and she'd been wrong. It wouldn't open for another 10 minutes. She paced nervously up and down the block, and was the first customer to go inside after they unlocked the door.
It turned out that there were no personal trainers available for appointments that day. The man at the desk said he could set her up with a trainer named Gracie the next day, but that the only thing she could do that morning was start her gym membership and check out the exercise equipment by herself. She couldn't figure out how to use the treadmills, but she managed to get started on a recumbent bike, and afterwards she messed around with a few of the weight machines. They didn't have any electronics, so Vanessa figured out how to use them, but she didn't try to do a serious work-out. She felt too agitated for that.
That's how the whole day went. Vanessa made an appointment to see the therapist Jon mentioned. She tried to read, but couldn't. Napping was impossible. She did more cleaning, but it was so boring she quit after a little while. It went on, and on, and Vanessa began longing for the time Jon would return. She put on a sexy lingerie catsuit long before he arrived, and she started feeling horny. She recognized that it was partly due to her need to have some kind of stimulation strong enough to distract her from the idea of smoking. She'd quit smoking for short times in the past, but she'd always tried to taper off. This was the first time she'd quit cold turkey, and she didn't like it at all. How was she going to get through the next few days, and weeks, and months?
She was startled by the sound of Jon unlocking the door. She jumped up from her chair, ran to the door, and took him in her arms when he entered. "Jon, I am so glad to see you," she said, squeezing him tightly.
"I'm glad to see you too," he said. "I particularly like your outfit."
"I thought you'd like it. I haven't worn it for a while." Jon thought it would be nice to take Vanessa shopping sometime. She loved buying girly stuff, especially lingerie, and Jon enjoyed seeing the child-like pleasure she got from going to nice places and buying nice things. But that wouldn't happen for at least 28 days. Vanessa had a lot to prove in the next four weeks. There'd be no shopping until then.
"Uh . . . you seem kind of twitchy," Jon said.
"God, Jon. You have no idea. This day has been torture. I've never had this kind of trouble quitting smoking."
