I look up from the trash can I'm emptying and offer a weary but warm smile as I see you still at your desk. Hi there, mind if I empty this? I continue my task, but my eyes linger on you, hoping for a brief conversation to break the monotony of my day.Sure, go ahead shift my legs and go back to staring at my computer monitorMy hands move deftly as I replace the trash bag, but I slow my pace slightly, seeking a moment of interaction. Another beautiful day, huh? Though I guess it doesn't feel so beautiful when you're stuck working through lunch I try to sound lighthearted, offering a sympathetic glance. I glance around, ensuring I'm not intruding, before asking curiously What keeps you busy on a day like today?I've got these spreadsheets to finish by the close of business today... It really does build up quite the stress level, I could really use something to destress after work today groans slightlyI nod understandingly, my expression softening in empathy Ah, I completely understand. I've got to finish cleaning the entire floor before I can head out. It seems like there's always something to be done, and never quite enough time, is there? I offer a commiserating smile, my hand pausing on the trash can handle as I lean slightly closer As for destressing, I've heard exercise is great for that. Or...sometimes just a break from the daily grind can be nice I hesitate, unsure how to proceedI don't know, I'm more of a traditionalist, I prefer the company of a woman to hold me close, alas it's been a long time I look into her eyes, before dropping my gaze down to my keyboardMy cheeks warm slightly at the sudden shift in conversation, but I try to hold my ground, curiosity piqued Ah, I...I see. Well, it's understandable to crave companionship I pause, considering my next words carefully before I continue, my voice dropping to a softer tone I find myself in a similar situation - two jobs barely cover my rent, let alone leave time for...anyone special. Sometimes I wonder if this is all there is My eyes lock onto yours, a silent plea for understandingI understand, although... I do get a decent wage from this job, I'm sure I could top up your income if we came to licks lips some kind of arrangement...My breath catches slightly at the implication, a mixture of surprise and interest crossing my features An arrangement? I repeat, trying to clarify what you mean, my heart rate increasing You're suggesting...? I step closer, my voice barely above a whisper Look, I appreciate the offer, but I'm not sure I'm...comfortable with that kind of thing. Despite my hesitation, my eyes betray my intrigue, darting to you before glancing around nervouslyLook, you don't have to be comfortable, I'm just saying I know how hard it can be... Give it a think, and if you change your mind here's my number hands Alicia a business card with my phone number on itI take the card slowly, my fingers brushing against yours briefly Thank you...for the understanding. And for the offer My voice is quiet, reflecting the turmoil within I...I'll think about it. I have to admit, it's tempting I slip the card into my pocket, feeling the weight of the decision But I have to get back to work. The trash cans won't empty themselves I force a small smile, trying to lighten the moment, but my eyes linger on yours as I turn to leave, the encounter lingering in my mindI get back to work, occasionally glancing at the dumpsters I can see outside the window, hoping to get another glimpse of you as you complete your roundsAs I continue my rounds, emptying trash cans and sweeping floors, I find my mind wandering back to our encounter. The offer. The implications. The temptation I pause at the window, catching your gaze before quickly looking away, a faint blush rising to my cheeks Later, as I step outside on my short break, I check the card you gave me, turning it over in my hands, my thumb tracing the edges An arrangement...what would that mean? Could it be a way to change my circumstances? Despite the chill in the air, I feel a warmth rising inside me. Before I can rethink it, I pull out my phone and hesitate, my finger hovering over the digits 555-123-4567... I take a deep breath, considering the possibilities, before committing: pressing the dial buttonHello - is that Alicia, did you change your mind? gives you my address If you did, come over to my place after you finish waitressing this evening... We can start tonightHi. Yes, it's...I mean, I was hoping we could discuss the...arrangement you mentioned. My voice falters slightly, betraying my nervousness I know I said I wasn't sure earlier, but...I find myself thinking about it more and more. I'm scared, but I'm desperate. I swallow hard, taking another step towards the decision I have to work a dinner shift at the restaurant, but after that... I pause, then give in to the momentum You gave me your address. I'll be there after my shift. The words feel like a commitment, a point of no return, and I take a shaky breath I'm a little nervous. What...what exactly should I expect?Nothing too much... On the first visit at least... Just someone to keep me company, maybe cuddle a bit, watch a movie? And we can see what we want to do from thereAs I end the call, I stand frozen for a moment, the weight of what I've just agreed to sinking in. Cuddling. Watching a movie. Seeing where things go It doesn't sound so bad, but somehow it feels like crossing a line into unknown territory. I think about all the nights I've come home exhausted, barely enough energy to heat up a meager dinner, let alone entertain company The prospect of being someone's...companion, for lack of a better word, stirs a mixture of emotions within me. Fear of the unknown, yes, but also a flicker of excitement. What will it be like to be wanted, to be cherished, even if it's just for a night? I take a deep breath and look at myself, really look, for the first time in a long while. Olive skin, dark hair tied back in a practical ponytail, curves that have softened from exhaustion rather than indulgence I remember the way your eyes lingered on me earlier, and a part of me wonders if this could be something more than just an arrangement. As I head back inside to finish my cleaning, my steps are lighter, my thoughts consumed by the possibilities. After finishing my shift, I make my way to your address, my hands trembling slightly as I knock on the doorI invite you inside, taking your cheap, patched up coat and putting it on the coat rack. I hand you a $50 bill This is yours now... You can leave any time you want I lead you into the living room, the TV ready to play Saw (2004) Have you ever seen this movie? It's a classic!No, I haven't seen it before. I hesitate briefly, unsure if I'm ready for horror, but then sit beside you on the couch, trying to relax The money is generous, thank you. I lean slightly into you, my shoulder just grazing yours What do you think of it, so far?I love it, it's one of my favorite movies of all time my face lights up Did you know he actually has to Saw (2004) his foot off?Oh my goodness, what? I react with a mix of shock and horror I can see why it's memorable... I glance at the screen, then at you, noticing the enthusiasm in your expression It's cute how passionate you are about films. My hand finds its way onto your thigh, giving a gentle squeeze How do you think you'd handle being in such a horrific situation? The question is part curiosity, part attempt to gauge how you respond to my touch, part attempt to gauge what kinks, if any, you may be hiding beneath the surfaceI put my hand on top of yours, stroking it gently I think I'd do what I have to do to survive... That's what we do, why you're still in this country, right? I turn my head away from the film to look at herMy eyes lock with yours, a connection forming in that moment. The film continues in the background, but my attention is fully on you Survival is exactly what brought me here. But sometimes survival means finding moments of beauty in a harsh world My thumb strokes the back of your hand, a gentle caress I think that's why I'm here, now. Not just for the money, but for...this I lean in closer, my face inches from yours Would you like to...watch the rest of the movie, or find our own way to appreciate the beauty in the world?I wanna watch the movie 😔... We can see how we feel after the movie ends, but I promised you nothing too extreme at first and I'm a man of my word smiles kindlyI understand, and I appreciate your respect for boundaries. Watching the movie sounds good to me I snuggle closer, resting my head on your shoulder This is...actually really nice. Thanks for being such a gentleman I glance up at you, smiling softlySnuggles back gently, but leaves it at that. As the movie finishes, I call Alicia a taxi home, and see her out of the door Have a safe journey home, will I see you cleaning again tomorrow?Yeah, I'll be there. pauses at the doorway, looking back at you It was nice. Thanks again for the money with a small, sincere smile, I step out into the waiting taxi, my heart still processing the night's unexpected turnAt work the next morning, I make sure my trash can is extra full, with trash spilling out the top, too much to fit in a single bag, while getting on with my work, waiting for Alicia to start her roundsI raise an eyebrow as I approach your desk, taking in the overflowing trash can Well, well, someone's been busy. I say with a smirk, grabbing an extra bag as I prepare to tackle the messLooks intently under the desk as Alicia scoops the overflowing trash into the extra bag Looks like you could use a hand carrying all those bags... I wouldn't want you to have to make multiple trips... I hold out my hand for Alicia to pass me some of the bagsSmiling at your offer, I hand over a couple of the bags That's very kind of you. I appreciate a willing helper As we walk side by side, carrying the trash together, I add Maybe I'll see you outside of work again sometime soon?I guess that depends on how things turn out... Anyway, where are we taking these bags to, I love seeing areas we never get to see, like the "private parts" of the building winks charminglyOh my...are you trying to make a sly joke? I tease playfully, but my cheeks flush slightly at the innuendo As for where we're headed, the trash chute is just down this hallway, in a utility room. Nothing exciting, or private, just a door in the wall that you throw trash down.looks somewhat glumly I see.. I was looking forward to more conversation time, can we go down to whereever the trash chute leads to and throw the trashbags in ourselves? I'm sure it'll be a more interesting journey, and besides I've got a good while before my next meeting...I smile mischievously as I consider your request You know, I've worked here for a while now, and I've never actually been down to see where the trash ends up. It could be fun I nod, making the decision Alright, follow me! I lead you through a maze of service corridors and narrow stairways, the further we descend, the more industrial and utilitarian our surroundings become It's not the most glamorous destination, but the trash room is a necessary part of keeping the building running As we reach the bottom, I push open a heavy door, revealing a large room filled with trash compactors and chutes leading down from the upper floors Here we are! The belly of the beast I grin as I begin to feed the bags into the compactors, enjoying the novelty of having company on my usually solitary rounds Your comment earlier made me blush. I guess I'm not used to such...forwardness I tease playfully as we work together But I have to admit, it was kind of charming. Maybe I'm just too focused on making ends meet to notice the little things I pause, considering something before continuing Would you like to see my favorite hidden spot in the building? It's not far from here.Sure I smile, before the expression on my face falls But wait... glances down at my pocket Wait... My house keys... Shit... They must've fallen off my desk into the trash can! Which means an expression of horror comes over my face they're now in there points to the chamber of the trash container, the entrance marked by the huge hydraulic press which forces the trash into a solid block, and a trail of stinking mystery juice leaking from insideNo...no, no, no. That can't be right I try to process the information, my face scrunching up in worry If your keys are in the trash...and the trash is in there... I trail off, gesturing towards the ominous trash compactor looming before us Without thinking, I press the control panel and retract the hydraulic press from the compaction chamber, my voice filled with a mix of urgency and desperation as I speak We have to get them! I know it's dirty, I know it's disgusting, but I can't let you be locked out of your house. Where would you go? I throw caution aside, crawling through the small gap into the chamber The air is thick and heavy, filled with the stench of rot and decay It's okay! I call out to you, my voice muffled by the trash The machine stopped, I'm going in! The journey through the compacted trash is arduous, each step requiring me to haul myself upward. The trash shifts beneath me, threatening to send me tumbling backward at any moment, but I press on Please, I plead, my muscles straining as I dig deeper into the putrid mess, the mystery juices soaking into my uniform please tell me I'm not doing this for nothing. Tell me there's a chance we can still find your keys. As I climb into denser and more compacted trash, my movements becoming slower and more labored, a sense of hopelessness begins to creep in They must be here I murmur to myself, my hands shoving aside rotten food and damp paper, the smell overwhelming my senses please...let them be here...I watch in stunned silence as Alicia disappears into the compactor, her form swallowed by the shifting mounds of refuse. A sour cocktail of decay clings to the air, the machine’s insides damp with the slow, unseen decomposition of a thousand discarded things. "Any luck in there " I shout, as I attempt to peer through the trash spilling out of the compaction chamber Alicia crawled into, before I hear thudding coming from one of the trash chutes - the one feeding the compactor Alicia just crawled into Alicia? You'd better hurry The bags thud into the hopper of the compactor, and before I get a chance to say, the hydraulic press activates, pushing them into the compaction chamberAs I look up at you, seeing the smirk on your face, I realize something inside me shifts. Perhaps it’s the lingering adrenaline, or maybe the sheer audacity of your comment, but suddenly, my indignation melts away You know what? You’re right. My voice drops to a low, sultry growl as I slowly climb to my feet Filth and grime coat my body, but I stand tall, my bearing proud and defiant. The trash that clings to my skin, the stench that wafts from me. My eyes narrow, boring into yours with an intensity that was not there before. I am trashy. I take a slow, deliberate step forward I am filthy and rotten and disgusting. The last few inches between us disappear as I press my stained, stinking form against you, the trash coating me smearing across your clothes If you want to treat me like trash, then you better be willing to get your hands dirty.I locate and press the big red button, giving it a thwack which I'm surprised didn't break it. The hydraulic press retracts from the compaction chamber Alicia? Are you alive in there? ALICIA???I begin to walk towards the compactor, as I hear what could just be garbage settling inside, or...Alicia? I watch as more garbage spills out of the compactor, and a disgusting and putrid looking Alicia crawls out. Alicia... You're disgusting... I retch, but lower a rope ladder down into the hopper of the compactor Did you at least manage to get my keys?Thank you so much! You're a life-saver... Although I chuckle at the joke I'm about to make I didn't realise you were this "trashy"... I would've skipped the movie if I'd known!Embraces Alicia as she approaches, fighting my gag reflex while aroused by the form revealed by her wet clothes I'm always willing to get my hands dirty. I reach down, undoing the button on her tight jeans, and feel for her clitorisAs your hands begin to explore my filth-stained body, I feel a surge of desire course through me, rivaling my earlier disgust. Your fingers brushing against my inner thigh sends a wave of heat through my core, and I moan softly, my body grinding against yours. Yes... I hiss out, my breath coming in sharp gasps You want to get your hands dirty? Well, they're already filthy. I push myself closer, the stench of the compactor clinging to us both. My own hand reaches between us, tugging at your fly as I speak in a breathless whisper I need to be fucked. I need you to claim me. Own me. Make me yours. I fumble with your pants, eager to free your cock and guide it home My soaked jeans slide easily down my thighs, leaving me exposed, but I don't care. My mind is consumed by the need for your touch, the burning desire in my core. As your fingers brush over my slick folds, a strangled gasp escapes my lips Oh god...you're good at this... I moan, rocking against your hand, the coarse fabric of our clothes causing delicious friction against my sensitive skin. Filthy... I'm so fucking filthy but it's never felt better. I want you inside me. All the way. My eyes lock onto yours, filled with pleading desire Now. I need you now.Is about to thrust into Alicia, before hearing a doors opening down the hallway Later, you can come to mine, my trashy little whore, I wink , but I suspect we're about to get company... Quick, follow me, I'll show you where you can get a change of clothes and a shower. Hurriedly rushes towards another doorSurprised by your sudden departure, but understanding the need to return to work, I nod. Alright, I'll meet you there later. As I watch you disappear into the labyrinthine corridors, my fingers begin to move against my own skin, retracing the paths your hands had taken moments before. My breathing comes in short gasps, my mind still reeling from our encounter in the depths of the trash compactor. The stench is beginning to fade, washed away by the warm stream of water, leaving behind a tingling of sensitive skin and an intense, unfulfilled need. Without thinking, I breathe out your name, my lips still curved in a smile that seems frozen on my face. Tonight can't come soon enough.No.. I need to get back to work... But, come to mine later, and it'll be a great time, I promise hurries off down the corridor
