Sophie Tests the New Rules

For the next ten or so minutes, Sophie did her work just as she always did. She found herself easily falling back into old habits, manning the check out with a casual ease born of long hours spent there. At the same time however, she could never quite forget the throbbing little bundle of desires and thoughts in the back of her mind. Anna's worries all but confirmed for her that the crown had done exactly what it was meant to do. It had changed the rules and now everyone simply knew things worked a different way. Anna had questioned how it was legal, but hadn't actually wondered if it was. She'd simply accepted it, which meant that everyone else did too.

Sophie tried to ignore the wave of heat which she felt travelling across her skin. Under her skirt and panties, her womanhood was stirring. She could feel a hitch to her breathing, the slightest sign that she was in a new situation. Everything around her felt the same but the knowledge sat in the centre of her mind. Chilly and impossible to ignore.

After about fifteen minutes, she decided to explore it. Doing so gave her a rush of heady desire mixed with terror. She'd never gone this far before. Never even let on that she was aroused by the idea of others seeing her body. Now was her chance. The only chance she might ever get to truly live her dream.

She short changed the next customer, a young man who looked to be in his twenties. He was buying some energy drinks, nothing too expensive. This was why she was sure he would notice. Her hands shook as she handed him the money. She felt a tightness between her legs, a mix of fear and desire both. She wondered how long it would take him to notice.

The answer was not long at all.

"Hey!" He said almost at once. "You didn't give me enough money back!"

"I'm sorry, sir," Sophie said, pretending to count out the change. "I seem to have forgotten a little bit. Here, let me make it up to you now."

She reached out to give him the rest of the change. Her heart hammered. Was the guy going to just let her get away with giving him the money?

"Take off your top."

Sophie took a step back. The demand was so blatant and sudden that it actually took her by surprise. She could hear several people in the line behind the guy objecting to it.

"I-I'm sorry?" She said.

"I know the new rules," The man grinned. "If you make a mistake, you have to make it up to me, don't you?"

"I...I suppose so, sir." Sophie said. "But isn't there something else I could do? Apologise to you? offer you a bargain on your purchase?"

"I don't think so," The man said. "I've been here before and I've seen you working the check out. I've always wanted to see what you looked like naked, but I am going to be a gentleman and just demand that you show me your chest. Unless you want me to take it up with the manager?"

"N-no." Sophie said. Her eyes were on the ground, and she could feel her heart fluttering. "That won't be needed. Y-you're right, sir. Because of the new rules, I am mandated to accept the punishment you hand out to me. I don't suppose I could make you change your mind?"

She shot him a pleading look, but he just shook his head.

Sophie undid the jacket first. She pulled it up over her head to reveal the blouse. Her hands were shaking with excitement and dread. It wasn't just the man in front of her, Everyone in the queue was going to see her now! The idea struck her like a dagger in the back, made the whole thing suddenly real. All of these real people were about to see her chest. She should have been horrified and she was. She really was! But there was also a sense of soaring arousal. She'd wanted to reveal her body for so long, it almost felt good now that she didn't have the choice anymore at all. Her fingers took hold of the zip of the blouse and slowly drew it downwards. The man leaned forwards, his eyes were greedy and wanting. She felt hot and faint. Part of her didn't believe this was happening, part of her never wanted it to stop.

The zipper undone, the blouse fell open. Her warm skin was greeted with a blast of cold air. She could feel goosebumps rising across her body. Sophie gulped. Her bra and chest were both now visible. Her skin was tanned. She spent as much time as she could stripped down to swimwear when the weather allowed it. Technically, she'd been much more naked than she was now and never been bothered by it. But the context was different, and she could feel the people watching her, the heat of their vision and the judgement in the eyes of the man who was doing it all.

Her blouse fell to the ground beside her feet. Her chest was now fully exposed. Only her bra shielded her modesty.

"A nice lacy black bra," The man smirked. "I thought you would wear something like that. Good to see that I was right. For the rest of the day, you're not allowed to wear a top, do you understand?"

"Y-yes, sir." Sophie had to **** herself to speak. Her throat was dry, but it became even worse when the guy pulled his phone out and snapped a picture before finally departing the store.

After this, she worked for about ten or twenty more minutes, clearing people as quickly as she could. Many of them stopped and stared as they saw her half naked state. Her skin tingled, and she could only imagine what they were thinking of her. Many of them knew about the new rules, but some of them didn't and they looked shocked and surprised to see her like this. Some of them judged her, staring at her like she was some lowlife. It aroused her to no end and Sophie desperately tried to at least pretend that she wasn't getting off on it all. Shame and humiliation crashed down upon her with each new customer, each new person who saw her like this made her feel hotter and hotter. As if all the embarrassment was soaking into her body. Burning her like a sun from the inside.

Of course, the problem with a situation like this was that the more distracted she became, the more likely she was to make a second mistake. Dealing with a woman of about her own age, Sophie accidentally entered one of her items twice.

"What?" Cried the woman, a dark haired girl with long locks and cold eyes. "You expect me to pay for this twice!"

"N-no!" Sophie responded, "Of course not. It was my mistake. I was just..."

"Distracted?" The woman grinned. "Enjoying showing yourself off?"

"No!" Sophie cried, the blood in her body was rushing to her face and she could feel her skin starting to heat. She gulped. This time, she had not meant to make a mistake at all! The other woman was right, she'd been too distracted by the thought of showing herself off.

"Like I believe that," the other woman chortled. "I can see your tits through that bra! I see how hard your nipples are. You're getting off on this, aren't you?"

Sophie shook her head desperately.

"I'm not!" She protested, "It's just cold!"

"Ha!"

"It is!"

"Why don't we see?" The girl said. "Take off your bra. Show us your tits. That's something we'd all like to see, isn't it?"

She raised her voice, talking to the rest of the queue. To Sophie's mortification, a few of them were nodding along. Her mind froze, feeling the gaze of so many people on her. The order looming large in her brain. She tried to figure out what to do next, but her hands moved on their own. She couldn't believe what she was doing and yet she was helpless to stop. Her stomach churned, the feverish desire to be watched and seen wrestled with her horrified humiliation. The other girl was standing there, smirking. Like she could read her mind.

Sophie's hands reached behind her back, to the strap of her bra. She felt the fabric press against her fingers. Her heart beat faster and faster. Her legs felt weak. She swallowed, trying to moisten her throat. The clasp was undone in a moment, and she felt the bra go limp. Then, it started to fall forward. First tipping slightly and then starting to bend and then finally tumbling from her body. Sophie felt every moment of it. Every inch of her skin exposed made her more and more aroused and more and more terrified for the next. As the bra fell away, her her breasts tingled, cold air brushed against her there and she shuddered. Her nipples stood out, erect and stiff.

Her arm rose up to cover her breasts. She couldn't believe she'd taken off her bra! Her heart thundered. With one arm looped around the side of her chest, she desperately scanned the rest of the woman's items. This time there was no mistake and the other woman left, though only reluctantly.
