My wife asked me to drop off a serving platter she had borrowed from her mother since their house was on the way to another errand I was running that day. When I got to my in-laws' home, I found just my mother-in-law and when I came in she said she was just leaving to go to the store. I told her I would put the platter away but asked if I could use the restroom before leaving and she said that would be fine - just to lock up when I left. I didn't need to go, but I always loved it when my in-law's house was empty. As soon as she left the house I went straight up into her closet and began digging through the dirty laundry.
Ever since the day I found out my mother-in-law wore thong underwear and ever since I went through her panty drawer and found sexy lingerie, I always hoped that I would find a used thong or G-string in her laundry. As usual, there was no thong in the laundry but only normal bikini style panties. I felt disappointed, but it didn't stop me from pulling out the panties I found and sniffing each one to see which one contained the most of her scent. Her panties smelled amazing to me and for the past three years I would take every opportunity to go through her laundry. Her panties were sexy to me and she always wore nice underwear. Even the plainest pair of panties she wore had a sex appeal to them, and as soon as I picked a pair I would sit down on the toilet, hold them up to my face and start masturbating.
She came home earlier than I expected and that's how she caught me: sitting on her bathroom toilet with my nose smashed into her panties masturbating with my eyes closed. Just before she spoke up, I was imagining us getting into the sixty-nine position with her pussy and ass hovering just above my face. I liked to imagine how it would be to just begin smelling her as she sat on my face and how it would feel to have my cock going in and out of her mouth while I tasted her pussy and pushed my face deeper in between her legs.
"What are you doing!?!" She asked.
I was literally speechless and couldn't move. What could I say? There was nothing on earth that could explain what I was doing. After what felt like an eternity, I finally said, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
"You're sorry!?! What are you thinking?"
My mind was racing but I couldn't think of anything to say that would help the situation. I simply uttered the words that came to me. "I'll never do it again." And with that I pulled up my pants, threw her panties down, and walked quickly out of the room. My heart was racing and I had no idea what I was going to do. I got downstairs and sat on the couch and listened to her move around upstairs above me. Should I just leave the house? What is she going to say to my wife? I heard her open her drawers and close them. I heard her moving about the room. I decided that I couldn't leave without saying anything, but I also could not go back up to her room.
A few minutes passed and all I was doing was working on what I was going to say when she came down. I began contemplating a story where I had come across the panties by accident and sort of picked them up unsure of whether they belonged in drawer or in the laundry basket. I knew it was stupid, but I was desperate for an idea to somehow make things better. She would want to accept a story, right? Anything that would make it seem like her son-in-law wasn't simply sniffing her panties and masturbating in her bathroom. Any story, no matter how ridiculous, would be better than the truth. I would rather look stupid than like a complete pervert. Enough time was passing that my heart wasn't racing as much, but I was incredibly anxious about what the next conversation with her would be like. What was she doing up there? When was she coming down? Does she know I'm still here?
After a minute or two of silence I heard her call out, "Charles, I need you to come up here."
I froze. I figured she was going to warn me that she was going to tell my wife and her husband and I told myself in that moment all I could do was face the consequences. I began the walk up the stairs back up to her bedroom. When I got to the door it was closed most of the way. I sort of paused at the door. Should I knock? How ridiculous would it look to her if I knocked after having just completely invaded her privacy minutes ago? But...I knocked...it just seemed fitting.
I heard her voice from inside the room, "Come in." Something about her voice both made the situation harder and easier at the same time. She was using a softer tone which took some of my fear away, but it also made me feel worse in some ways. In my fantasy, she was just a sexual object that I was using to get off. Her voice was a weird reminder of who she was as a person. I entered.
When I came in the room I saw that she was sitting on one of the chairs in the bedroom adjacent to the bed. They had two chairs in the room facing each other and I figured I should sit in the one facing her. "I'm so sorry," I said in the most sincere voice I had. I tried to sound sincere, but the truth was that I really was sincere. I wasn't happy to be sniffing her panties, and not just because I was caught. It was a compulsive behavior that I hated probably more than anyone.
As hard as it was, I told myself that I needed to wait to hear what she said before I said anything else. The truth was that I didn't know what she was going to tell me, and as scary as it was waiting, I knew that it was really her decision if she wanted to chase me out of the house right then or actually talk with me. So, I just did my best to look at her and wait for what she had to say.
"Charles, this is going to sound crazy, but I'm not that mad." She paused and then continued, "I was shocked when I came in and saw you like that...and walking out was probably the best thing for you to do right then. But I'm glad you didn't leave. I am trying to process this and to be honest, I'm just not that mad about it. I've been married for thirty years, and in that time if I've learned anything it's that men have a different kind of sexuality. Still...can I ask why, though?"
I paused when she asked that. I was so surprised to hear that she wasn't mad and I was still kind of coming down from the rush that I wasn't sure what to say. I wanted to convince her not to say anything to my wife and I considered saying something in that direction. However, her tone was breaking down my defenses and I felt like maybe it was time just to be honest. "I don't know exactly why, but your panties really turn me on and I love the smell of them." I couldn't believe I said it that plainly and I couldn't gauge her reaction to it. For a moment I stopped -thinking she was going to say something -but when she just kept looking at me I decided to explain a little more. "Since the first time I saw the top of a thong you were wearing underneath your jeans, I haven't stopped thinking about how sexy you are. I don't know how to explain it, but I can't stop thinking about you and your underwear seems about as close as I can get." I kind of ended with a nervous laugh. At that point, I think she recognized the absurdity of the moment because she laughed a little bit, too. She looked up at the ceiling and kind of sighed with a smiled one of those "life is so weird" kind of smiles.
"You know...I haven't worn a thong in a couple years." The conversation was almost turning humorous and the fact that she told me that kind of took more of the tension away.
"I know," I said with a blank face. I couldn't believe I just said that. Here all the tension was just beginning to leave and I let it slip that I had been paying attention to what underwear she had been wearing for years now.
She stopped smiling and looked me directly in the eyes. "How long have you been doing this?"
