Dani should have known something was wrong when she came home late from shopping and her husband, David, was nowhere to be found. She called out, puzzled, but there was no answer.
She shrugged and began walking up the stairs to her bedroom. It was early, just past seven, he couldn't have gone to bed yet, she thought.
Just to be safe she put down her packages and went into the guest bathroom in the hallway. She checked herself out in the mirror. She was 34, blonde, and in great shape. Just in case David was mad about something, she unbuttoned a few more buttons on her blouse. He would be less angry when he saw her purchases: very sexy lingerie that she would wear only for him.
It had been a crazy past two months. David had been away on business trips for days every week. Dani had gone a bit nuts: she discovered a Naked Challenge on the internet that required her to be nude in private at all times. That relieved her boredom but not her loneliness.
Then, following the Challenge, she ventured out early one morning for a naked hike into the woods in back of her house. And Mike, her 71 year old neighbor, saw her. Rather than run away and get dressed she had gone boldly to his house, totally nude.
The experience excited them both, and Dani offered to share more naked times with Mike. Their special times together turned more and more into Dani acting out her naked fantasies while Mike watched -- and masturbated.
Finally David was home for good. Their interactions with Mike had seemed awkward to Dani at first. Lately though, David and Mike seemed to have developed a closer bond. They were often talking quietly together, heads down. Dani didn't know if that was good or bad.
She shrugged off her concerns and went to the bedroom door which was closed. If he was in there, if he was in any kind of mood she would pull him out of it with an impromptu strip fashion show. As she kept changing outfits right in front of him, he would inevitably give in and pull her down on their bed. She just hoped he wouldn't rip any of her pretty purchases by ripping them off her body.
She knocked. "David?" she called out, tentatively.
"Come in" he said. "We've been waiting for you."
'We?' she thought. Who's 'we'? Then she opened the door and saw David and Mike sitting in the chairs against the far wall.
"What?" she gasped. "Why...?!"
"Close the door," David ordered. "And lock it behind you. We need to talk."
She went white. She started trembling but she did what she was told.
"Come and stand in front of us."
She dropped her packages on the bed and stood in front of them, glancing frantically back and forth at each of the men in her life.
David cleared his throat. "Mike's been telling me about some very interesting things you two were up to while I was away."
Dani looked up, panicked. "I.. it was... I never meant to hurt... I was just so lonely!"
David looked at her like she was some strange, unknown creature. "You're mistaking this meeting for some kind of trial in which you're allowed to defend yourself. It's nothing of the kind... you've already been found guilty; now we're informing you of your punishment."
"Punishment?!" she gasped. "I don't understand! I know what we did was wrong but --"
David held up his hand. There was something in his eyes that made her close her mouth. She knew him well enough -- he was trying to control himself; he was getting very angry in his own cool, collected way.
"We're giving you two choices... one more choice than what you deserve! There's a suitcase already packed in the closet; enough clothes, cosmetics, personal care items for about a week. There's a hotel room already booked for you. If you choose to leave, you will only be allowed back once to collect whatever else you need."
She was crying now. She felt the tears running down her face. Her face, her whole body felt cold but her tears felt hot.
"If you make that choice," David continued, "I will initiate divorce proceedings after thirty days. It will be on my terms. If you challenge me, all the details of your lovely fantasies with Mike will come out in court."
Dani turned and stared at Mike. "But... Mike..." her voice trailed off. He was deliberately staring at the ground, not looking at her. She didn't want to point to him being complicit, she just couldn't believe that he wasn't defending her.
David forced a laugh. "At first, I was ready to... I don't know what I wanted to do to him! Then I heard all about what you did. Like a lot of men, he was naturally sneaking looks at your legs, your tits and your ass. You are a fucking beautiful woman. And then you go and walk over to him stark naked." He shook his head.
Mike looked up now and made eye contact with her, as if he was trying to tell her something.
"No, I don't blame Mike." David continued. "You used him; you cheated on me. That's why we've come together to agree on an appropriate punishment."
Dani looked at Mike and thought: 'but he invited me over! He saw me naked and he very calmly invited me over.' She knew that Mike had held that part back.
"What -- what punishment?!" she gasped out. "You mean you two... you're giving me another choice?! What... what choice do I have?!"
David leaned forward. "I will give you over to Mike for thirty days. You will be his: completely. You will do whatever he tells you to do unflinchingly. If, at the end of thirty days, we are both satisfied with you progress, that you've fully accepted your new lifestyle, then I will take you back."
If she had thought her emotional state was making her cold, now the shock sent waved of shivers through her body. She was trembling.
"You're talking about..." she trailed off.
"Slavery," Mike spoke out. "You will be my naked slave."
Dani felt like fainting. "You can't... you won't... this can't be real! You can't do this to me!" she wailed.
"Dani," David leaned toward her. "When you married me and I suddenly got the job offer, you left your own job, your friends and your family behind. You have nobody here. You have nowhere to go. Accept it."
She stared at him, at them both; the two men she thought she loved. "Wh... what do you want me to do? What do I have to do?" she gasped out.
"Start by taking off your clothes for me," Mike answered, very calmly. "Everything except panties for now. Shoes, jewelry, everything -- just drop it all on the floor," He leaned back, waiting with arms crossed.
Her brain, her whole body had gone numb. She could see no way except to cooperate-- for now.
For now, she would play her part in their sick games; become an actress in their cruel fantasies. That was it! she thought. This was just one of many fantasies, and she would not allow herself to shed her reality as easily as she was shedding her clothes onto the floor.
She fumbled with the buttons on her white blouse, her eyes stinging. She was trying desperately to do what she'd been told but she was shaking uncontrollably.
"Don't turn this into a striptease," David ordered. "We've already seen it. We've both seen everything. Get your fucking clothes off NOW or we'll rip them off!!"
Now she was frightened as his anger was boiling up and she did the best she could do. Her blouse had just hit the floor as she simultaneously loosened her belt, unzipped her skirt part way and pushed it forcefully down. She kicked it off in their direction, glaring angrily at them and then remembered her shoes. She pulled them off as well, standing awkwardly on each bare leg.
Her bra of course was a problem. Her fingers were all thumbs as she struggled to undo the back. Feeling their impatience with her growing, she pulled hard at the remaining clasps. The bra cups and straps dug into her skin, under her breasts and on her shoulders, leaving painful red marks. Finally she got the offending little garment off. As it fell to the floor she could see that she had ruined it. She had been the one to ruin her own lingerie by ripping it off.
She was breathing hard and she knew the effect it had on her bare breasts. As she tried to calm down she felt their eyes boring into her. For the first time, they weren't looking at her naked as a potential bedmate for the night; they were evaluating her naked as a potential slave.
