Naked in a Clothed World

For the next few days, Ellie didn't leave the house. Even that felt bad enough, constantly being naked around her fully clothed husband like she was some sort of sex doll who existed primarily for his viewing pleasure. She began by spending most of her time under a blanket on the couch, until James added a new rule to clarify that any kind of blanket, throw or duvet was banned as a covering for her between 8 am and 11 pm. She then took to obscuring her most intimate parts as strategically as she could with cushions. Eventually, that was too much hassle, as they kept slipping away whenever she moved and causing her to readjust. Plus, James clearly found the embarrassment angle and her struggle against her enforced nudity hugely arousing. So she gave up and accepted that she would just have to be fully naked at home, for now at least.

She was livid about the situation, of course. But James was her Master now, with unspeakable power over her to do anything he wanted, so she had to downplay her anger at him. And she was coping, for now. She could shop online. She could temporarily work from home and claim an issue with her camera on Teams , which meant it had to be switched off for meetings. She could also reign in her social life for the time being. But clearly this was unworkable in the long term, and James was still showing no sign of ending her torment.

"How long are you going to keep me like this?" Ellie asked in frustration as her partner walked by "It's been four days now, you can't possibly find it funny anymore. And you must be bored of seeing my naked body at this point"

"Oh, I will never get bored of that, and this isn't supposed to be funny" James assured her "Besides, you haven't given this a chance, like I asked you to. You haven't even left the house yet, and when my brother came over you locked yourself in the bedroom."

"Excuse me for not wanting to parade around naked in front of everyone" Ellie huffed.

"Look, if you want this to end you are going to have to give it a proper go. Spend a bit of time outside, go to the office, interact with people other than me while you're naked. If the curse works like you say it does, and like it seems to, nobody will think it is unusual or sexually harass you for it"

"That doesn't mean I won't feel utterly humiliated" Ellie retorted "I tell you what, maybe I will go outside if you strip off too and come with me, seeing as you seem to think it will be character building or something"

"I can't, I'm not cursed so it would freak people out and I'd get arrested" he shrugged.

"You know what, fine" Ellie finally snapped "If it really makes you happy and gets this out of your system I will go for a walk around the block now. But if I get arrested or assaulted it's on you!"

Before she even had time to really think what she was doing, Ellie found herself stepping out of her front door and into the outside world.

Being naked in public felt incredibly strange and uncomfortable for sure. But the curse had worked. Nobody else found it unusual. As far as the rest of the world was concerned, Ellie was supposed to and expected to be naked. Sure, it was still different. She still turned most heads and men looked at her for way longer than they should, but nobody seemed surprised and she wasn't challenged. Nice Mr Wilson from across the street waved at her as she walked past, just like usual.

"Hello Ellie, nice whether for a naked walk I should think" he chuckled.

She **** a smile and continued moving briskly, where she chanced upon Bethany, a nice enough if vaguely irritating colleague of hers, who immediately crossed the street to greet her.

"Oh Hey Ellie!" she began cheerily "It's funny, I was just talking to someone about you yesterday. They didn't believe me when I said I had a colleague who walked around naked everywhere. I'll have to introduce to them to you some time so I can win the bet. What's the reason you are always naked again? Some medical condition?"

"I can't wear any clothes, they make me itch too much. But I'm hoping to get it cured soon" Ellie spoke as close to the truth as she could.

"What about your glasses, don't they make you itch?" Bethany giggled.

"Look, sorry, I don't have time to chat right now" Ellie attempted to end the conversation "I was just, uh, heading to the shops"

"Great, I am going in that direction too, let's walk together!" Bethany decided.

It seemed Ellie's quick walk around the block was going to be extended.
