Hot or Cold?

As you stand up you feel, just for a moment, like you could actually pass out with excitement. The sensations you are experiencing right now are almost overwhelming. You dread to think how many hours you have spent fantasising about Maisie in all the time you have known her, but nothing you ever dreamed up was as thrilling as this. And it is really happening.

You pick up Maisie's hoodie and give it a sniff. It still smells delightfully of her, which is hardly surprising since she was wearing it only moments earlier, and with nothing underneath it thanks to your perverted meddling. You don't know if you would rather find her quickly or draw the sweet anticipation of her inevitable exposure out longer. She can't stop hiding from you until she is caught or you decide to end the game, which means you have as long as you want. You decide there is no rush.

One thing soon becomes apparent. Maisie wasn't lying, she is very good at hiding. You walk all over your apartment and even round the garden without finding any trace of her. You know she is there somewhere. Even in the unlikely event she decided she wanted to leave your premises naked, the wording of your command would have prevented her from doing so. There must have been some point in your search where you were just inches from Maisie's naked body without even realising it. The thought sends a shiver down your spine.

Your anticipation is building to almost uncontrollable levels now, and you are starting to become a little impatient. As you begin your third circulation around your property you wonder how it is even possible you haven't found Maisie yet. She seems to be almost defying the laws of physics by not having been anywhere you have looked yet. But then the moment comes.

You are back out in the garden when you sense movement behind you and spin round to see the leaves on a bush several feet away shaking a little, as if something has recently disturbed them. You definitely checked behind those bushes before, and it could have been a fox or stray cat if it wasn't for the dainty human toes you briefly glimpse before Maisie moves them out of sight. So that's how she has been evading you for so long - she has been moving about from one location to another each time you look away. Well, there was nothing in the rules you set out that said she couldn't do that. But there is nowhere for her to escape to now without you seeing her. She is yours.

You have to admire Maisie's nerve in hiding in the communal garden. She always was highly competitive, and it's not like this is a public park, but there are a number of other residents here and any of them could wander outside at any time. A wicked thought enters your mind. You could call the other neighbours out here, set off the fire alarm or something. You imagine Maisie having to stand there in front of everyone - naked, ashamed and humiliated while the fire services ensure the building is safe to return to.

You don't know why that idea suddenly appeals to you so much. Exposing Maisie to others is never something you have fantasised about up until now. This new power you have over her is so intense that you are starting to develop kinks that weren't even there before. Of course, it would be an incredibly mean thing to do to your friend, and it would be a shame to sour things when you got the sense before the game started that Maisie might be starting to warm to you as something other than her dorky, sexless buddy.

Maybe you could make it look like an accident? It is unclear if Maisie is even aware you have spotted her. Whatever you do, you are going to have to decide quickly or she will definitely know something is up. So do you give Maisie an unexpected taste of public exposure and enjoy the show, or do you walk right over to the bush now and claim your prize all for yourself?
