The dare was thrilling and it put butterflies in Katie's stomach. Her two friends were sitting on the couch across from her watching her reaction expectantly. All three were in their late twenties and were spending time together on a Friday night at Julie's house drinking wine and gossiping. The tv had been running in the background with none of them paying any attention to it until Julie had pointed out that game of thrones was on and it was the episode where Cersei had to walk completely naked through the city. This comment had led to the dare proposed to Katie by Julie and Emma.
"How horrible it must be to be in her position." Julie had said, her voice filled with sympathy.
Emma was nodding her head in agreement when Katie impulsively said "I bet it would be exciting."
Both of her friends looked at her in mild surprise at first then Emma said "Oh yeah I'm sure you would just be so thrilled to be forced to walk around town naked." This made all three laugh and turn their attention to the tv for a moment.
"I mean having all those eyes on you, everyone watching, it would be kind of hot." Katie explained." This led the three friends into discussing how it would feel to be naked in a public setting. Julie and Emma insisted it would be nothing but embarrassing with Katie insistent that it would be a thrilling experience.
"Ok, then why don't you just go out naked then." Julie shot at Katie.
"I would be happy to except for it being illegal." Katie pointed out. Julie and Emma clearly didn't believe her and told her so. Katie just scoffed and went to the kitchen for more wine.
When Katie came back into the living room her friends told her they had a dare for her. Since she couldn't Β go out in public naked without getting arrested, they dared her to go out the next day in nothing but a bikini of their choosing. There was a large celebration in a nearby park that would be perfect for Katie to show off how being exposed was exciting since no one else would be in swimwear so she would stand out as if she was naked.
The dare was thrilling and it put butterflies in Katie's stomach. With confidence born from too much wine, Katie quickly agreed to the dare. "Oh but if you really want to prove how exciting it would be, you should wear these so you can't chicken out half way and grab something to cover yourself." Julie was holding up a pair of handcuffs, swinging them in front of Katie's face.
"Where did you get those?" Emma exclaimed.
"Just something a former boyfriend tried to get me into, I'm glad I held onto them now." Nervously Katie nodded her head, her excitement and alcohol clouding her judgment.
The three planned on meeting the next day at Julie's house that was close enough to the park to walk. The celebration was starting at 10 am the next day so Katie and Emma were to be there at 9 to get everything ready. The friends spent the rest of the night trying to talk about lots of things but their minds kept going to the next day. Finally they all called it a night though Katie didn't think she would be getting much sleep. Laying in bed Katie reflected on how she had fantasies about being naked in public but never thought she would actually do it, and still technically she wouldn't be.
The following day Katie found herself outside of Julie's house just before 9 thinking she would just tell her friends the dare was a stupid idea and she wasn't going to do it. She knocked on the door and Julie opened it with Emma already there standing beside her. Stepping inside Katie prepared herself to tell her friends her decision when Julie said "Oh my god Katie, I'm so glad you're here. I was so worried you would back out and we both would have been so disappointed." Seeing the excitement on her friends faces, Katie felt her resolve waver and slip away. She would just have to follow through with what she agreed to and get it over with as fast as possible. After all she would be wearing a bikini like she did at the river in the summers anyways so it wouldn't be too bad.
