Melanie Jones wasn't sure what wasn't right about her life but deep down she knew she was unhappy. On the surface it looked like she was doing pretty well for herself. She had a well paid job, a loving boyfriend and a loyal and trusted group of friends. As she approached her 30th birthday Melanie knew she should be satisfied with where she was in life but couldn't shake a nagging feeling that she only had one life and could be doing more with it. What if she had been more ambitious in her career choices and less willing to settle in her relationship?

She knew deep down what was holding her back and that was a deep seated lack of confidence. Since she was a child Melanie had always felt an excessive concern for what other people thought about her, a fear of standing out from the crowd and being disapproved of even by strangers. It had led her to make safe, conservative choices in nearly all situations she was faced with leading to a pleasant but unexciting existence. She wondered where she would be if she had the belief in herself to take risks and aim for the sky.

Melanie knew that plenty of men found her attractive. She was conventionally pretty with a curvaceous figure and large breasts which guys seemed drawn too. She was a little on the short side and still quite youthful looking which often led to her being described as "cute" - it wasn't a description she enjoyed as she wanted to be taken seriously. She dressed fairly conservatively, with her dark hair cut to medium length and a tendency to wear long dresses or trousers in spite of her shapely legs and the fact her skin seemed to tan beautifully the moment the sun caught a glimpse of it. Generally, she tried to avoid male attention and even at a relatively young age she was already in a long term relationship with John, who she had met at university, meaning she had little experience of other men. She had also settled for a safe but unremarkable office job, despite being academically gifted, as she didn't want to push too hard for fear of failure and looking foolish.

So it was that she came to be sat alone in the apartment she rented with John, who was away for a few days visiting family, pondering how her lack of confidence might have held her back from living her best life. On a whim she decided to look through the apps on her phone to see if there was anything there designed to build confidence and encourage someone like her to stray from the safety of her comfort zone. Most looked like they were full of the usual cliched nonsense she had heard a thousand times already, but one app did catch her eye. It was called _Naked Ambition _and it's opening spiel did a great job of getting her attention.

Are you underappreciated in your work and home life? Are you just going through the motions through fear of failure and what other people might think of you? Our radical Naked Ambition programme will ensure that you are your most authentic self at all times, guarantee you stand out in a crowd and help you discover that even your deepest anxieties are created by social conditioning and that other peoples disapproval can't hurt you. Apply now to see if you are eligible for this incredible free service!

Melanie was intrigued. She still had no idea what the Naked Ambition programme actually entailed but the blurb hit all the right notes for her and it was claiming to be free, assuming she was considered eligible. She figured there was no harm in trying and downloaded the app there and then. She opened it and filled in a few basic details of herself before being asked to provide a current full body photo. That threw her a little, but she was fully clothed and she couldn't see any harm in it. She took a shot of herself in the mirror and uploaded it. Seconds later she was met with an applause sound effect and the following message:

Congratulations Miss Jones! You are a perfect candidate for our life enhancing Naked Ambition programme. This service will be provided to you completely free of charge. All we ask is you respond to this applications requests for updates on your progress. Please check and agree to our terms and conditions so we can proceed with our life changing service immediately!

Eager to see what happened next Mel scrolled quickly through the text without reading, as she would normally do, hit the big green button to confirm her consent and, shortly afterwards, let out a horrified squeal.

"What the fuck!"

Melanie jumped up from the bed she had been sitting on in disbelief at the sudden realisation the clothes she had been wearing moments earlier had vanished from her body, leaving her totally naked. That wasn't possible, surely? She looked back at her phone to be met with a simple, explanatory phrase.

Welcome to your naked life!

Instinctively Melanie rushed to her bedroom door where her dressing gown was hanging and pulled it around her bare body only to gasp in horror as it quickly disappeared in front of her own eyes, leaving her completely exposed again. She dashed back to her phone and scanned the app for any way to undo this entirely unwanted effect. The best she could see was an immediate request for feedback on her experience so far. She hurriedly typed out something along the lines of enforced nudity being the last thing she wanted as help alongside a demand for her clothing, and even more importantly her ability to wear them, to be returned immediately. The almost instant response she received made her heart sink even further.

Don't worry! It is normal for participants to feel overwhelmed at the start of this challenging programme. However, as agreed in our terms and conditions you will remain fully naked until your life potential (as measured by this application) has reached 100%. This is vital to ensure you are able to enjoy the incredible benefits our programme provides in full. All confiscated clothing will be returned once you achieve this target and you will be able to resume covering your body (should you wish too).

We understand many of our participants are concerned how undertaking our programme may effect their employment or ability to live their day to day lives without breaking any laws. When you are challenged on your nudity simply state the following phrase "It is normal and acceptable for me to be naked". We guarantee you these words will have an immediate and lasting effect on the attitude of anyone you speak them too regarding your nudity while enrolled in our course.

Melanie sat in shock for a moment or two as she struggled to take all of this in. So she was now forced to be naked until she had reached 100 per cent of her potential and telling people that was normal for her was supposed to make that okay? Well, it certainly wasn't okay with her! She pressed the button on the app to find out what level her potential was being measured as and was met with a sad emoji style face and a score of 32%. There was no advice on how to get this number up or what criteria she was being measured on. But until she figured out how to hit the target that had been given to her it seemed she was stuck in the buff. This was totally fucked. She had work tomorrow. What was she going to do?

[Beckster89]

Melanie sat frozen in place for a moment or two taking deep breaths to calm herself, trying to rationalise what had just happened and thinking over what to do about it. She had always been a pragmatic girl and realised that freaking out wasn't going to help her here. She needed to look for a practical solution to her problem.

At first she decided to check whether there was anything at all she could still wear. She took a cheap, ageing pair of white cotton panties that she could stand to lose from her underwear drawer. If she were able to even wear underwear it would be better than nothing. She hurriedly pulled them up her legs and over her thighs until they reached their intended destination to conceal her pussy. She felt an initial wave of relief at having something covering her most intimate area once more which was quickly replaced by pure dismay as she looked down and saw they had vanished leaving her exposed again.

Another idea hit Melanie as she walked through to the bathroom suite and grabbed the biggest towel she could see. She took a deep breath to calm her nerves before wrapping it tightly around her body. To her great relief it didn't disappear. That was something. She couldn't walk around in a towel all day but at least she had some means of preserving her modesty. She walked back into the bedroom, sat on the bed and opened the app again to try and find any kind of way she could free herself from the Naked Ambition programme. There was a lengthy Q&A page but it didn't look promising for her.

Q: The Naked Ambition course isn't for me. How do I quit?

A: There is no quitting Naked Ambition. This is for your own good as human nature dictates the vast majority of people would rather live an unfulfilling life than disobey the false beliefs societal conditioning has instilled in them. You will thank us when you complete the programme successfully and start living to your full potential.

Melanie's disappointment turned to frustration as she felt her skin start to cool again and looked down to see that the towel she had been wrapped in had now gone. After cursing for a moment she scanned through the Q&A some more to discover a stipulation that towels, bed clothes, safety gear etc could be used for their intended purpose but not as a substitute for clothing. Suddenly feeling overcome with anger Melanie threw her phone to the floor and climbed into bed. It was late, after all so she wasn't breaking any of the apps stupid rules. She felt a wave of relief as she slipped under the covers which, thankfully, remained in place and turned off her bedside lamp.

As she lay in bed Mel contemplated the subject of her nudity in more depth than she ever had before. She realised that, on the whole, she felt very uncomfortable being naked, perhaps more than she should. There were only three men who had ever seen her unclothed - John, a previous boyfriend from her university days and her doctor. Even when she was alone she tended to avoid being naked unless she was showering or it was too hot to sleep otherwise. She had never really considered why that was. Perhaps a conservative upbringing or just an extension of her usual shyness and inability to feel comfortable in her own skin. However, even if she were a little more guarded about her body than she needed to be she wasn't about to be forced into the life of a nudist. As exhaustion set in and sleep began to overtake Melanie that became a problem for tomorrow.


Melanie woke the next morning almost as if it were a normal day, save for that she was sleeping nude rather than in her PJs. At least the bed covers had survived the night. She pulled them off her before they vanished and climbed out of bed. Even in the privacy of her own bedroom being naked like this felt somewhat uncomfortable. The memories of the previous night were too vivid to have been a bad dream but nonetheless she felt she should check whether she was still cursed not to wear clothes. She took an old, slightly oversized T Shirt with a cartoon bear on it, one that she would occasionally sleep in along with her panties when it was to hot for PJs, and put it on. Sure enough it had vanished within seconds. Melanie's sigh of disappointment was interrupted by her phone buzzing. She had received a notification from _Naked Ambition _which she reluctantly decided to read.

Good morning Miss Jones! Welcome to your first full day of living naked! We realise such a radical change in lifestyle may prove daunting at first but trust us, it will be worth it! We recommend you start small for your first day. Why not invite over a trusted friend to discuss your new situation, or open the door the the postman and show him you have nothing to be ashamed of. Remember the phrase "It is normal and acceptable for me to be naked" if you feel you are being negatively judged in any way. We promise it will work!

Melanie wanted to yell at someone. This wasn't a lifestyle she had chosen or would ever choose! Besides, it wasn't even practical. For a start she had work in a couple of hours. Was she seriously expected to just walk naked around the office telling all of her colleagues that was normal and acceptable for her and hope for the best? She briefly considered working remotely and pretending her camera wasn't working, but as silly as it was, talking to her coworkers while she was naked felt uncomfortable even if they couldn't see her and had no idea. Perhaps if nothing else this app had taught Melanie that her aversion to nudity was more extreme than she had realised. But, despite what the app said, that had never been a problem for her and being forced to be naked while everyone else was clothed would surely make her feel even more inferior and less confident than ever!

Melanie sent an email to her boss explaining she wasn't feeling well. That excuse might hold up for a few days but she would need a doctors not to take a full week off. She had to fix this quickly! Mel decided to make her place as nudity proof as possible while she worked on the solution. She tiptoed around the apartment drawing all of her curtains having carefully determined nobody was lurking outside before stepping in front of her windows to do so. Just as she finished doing so the doorbell rang. She figured it was the postman but, despite the advice of the app she wasn't about to open the door to him. After a few moments her letter box flapped open. Once satisfied the postman was out of range Melanie scurried over to her front door and picked up a slip of paper that had fallen there. She had missed a delivery of a parcel which had been left with her next door neighbour for her to collect. She cursed to herself as she realised that was probably her fathers birthday present. Which also reminded her there was a family gathering she was expected to attend at the weekend. She needed to work quickly to remove this stupid curse.

Feeling mentally exhausted already and without any kind of plan for how to undo any of this Melanie trudged dejectedly back to her bedroom, pausing for a while in front of the full length mirror to consider her naked reflection. For some reason Melanie tended to avoid looking at herself naked and the app had at least caused her to reflect on why that was. She was actually in pretty good shape. She was hardly a gym bunny but she did a lot of walking, ate well and generally lived a healthy lifestyle. She seemed to be ageing pretty well too, with most people assuming that she was younger than 29 (when clothed at least). She didn't really like how short she was but she had a nice, shapely figure and large, firm breasts. Men often commented positively on those which usually embarrassed her or, occasionally, secretly pleased her depending on who was saying it. She noticed that the skin around her groin and chest was a little paler than the rest of her, the tan from a recent holiday abroad not having fully faded. That was a rare instance where Melanie felt comfortable wearing little clothing, since everyone else was in the same boat so she didn't stand out.

Melanie also noted that she hadn't shaved her pussy for a while and her pubes needed a trim, especially if people were going to see her like this. Except, no, she was not going to let that happen! She wasn't giving into this! A sudden wave of emotion hit Melanie as the reality of her predicament finally began to sink in. She quickly moved away from the mirror and back to her bed where she curled herself up defensively into a ball, as if to cover herself up as much as she could in defiance of the app, and began to sob.

After a while Melanie began to regain her composure and noticed that, while she had been crying Naked Ambition had buzzed her with a notification. Reluctantly she picked her phone and read the message.

Life Potential Score Update. Your score has fallen to 27%. But don't worry! just get out there, be your naked self and we are sure you will be heading towards 100% in no time!

[Beckster89]

Melanie stared blankly at the grim message on her phone. Clearly this problem wasn't about to just go away and sitting on her bed feeling sorry for herself wasn't going to help. She had to at least see if she could do anything to raise her declining score. She picked up the slip the postman had left her. It was with Lucinda, an older woman who lived just across from her in the same block of flats. She could get to her door in seconds without having to even go outside and she needed that parcel.

Scarcely able to believe she was considering this, Melanie prepared to make a very brief and completely naked visit to her neighbours place. Lucinda seemed like a nice lady from the few short conversations they had and Melanie hoped she wouldn't be too shocked and offended. She was allowed by the apps T&Cs to take one carrier item, such as a purse, bag or rucksack, with her for her belongings while she was out, though it wasn't allowed to be used in a way that obscured any of her intimate areas (the T&Cs also clearly stipulated that her "breasts (including nipples), buttocks and vagina must be free from covering at all times". After grooming herself in the bathroom Melanie threw her phone, keys (she definitely didn't want to get locked out!) and a few other items into a small, brown leather bag and slung it over her shoulder. She checked her reflection in the mirror and thought she looked ridiculous, but she knew she had to do this.

Melanie looked though the peephole in her front door to make sure the coast was clear, took a deep breath the opened it and stepped out. After slamming the door behind her she scurried anxiously across the hallway and rang Lucille's doorbell. The next few moments seemed to last a lifetime as Melanie could hear the sound of someone shuffling about in reaction to the doorbell before footsteps started shuffling agonisingly slowly towards her. Melanie briefly considered whether it may be polite to throw her hands over the parts of her most likely to cause offence but figured it was better to just act as if everything was normal. Worryingly, she could also hear footsteps in the stairwell, though they were still some way off.

"Come on, hurry up!" Melanie whispered to herself as Lucinda fiddled with the lock. Eventually the door swung open.

"Oh my goodness!" Lucinda gasped in shock as she took in the surprising sight of a naked Melanie who was already fearing a scene was about to be caused.

"It is normal and acceptable for me to be naked!" Melanie blurted out in desperation. To her amazement, that seemed to work exactly as promised and the older woman immediately relaxed and took on a much more friendly demeanour.

"Yes, I suppose it is" Lucinda smiled warmly "How can I help you Miss Jones?"

At this point the footsteps in the stairwell were getting noticeably louder. Melanie couldn't afford to stand about waiting for her ageing neighbour to retrieve her parcel. She probably didn't even have time to make it back to her own place now. It hadn't been the plan but there was really only one thing she could do at this point.

"Is it okay if I come in for a moment?" Melanie asked.

"Of course, you can stay for tea and biscuits!" Lucinda replied warmly. Melanie smiled and nodded as she gratefully stepped into the relative safety of her neighbours apartment. This actually might not be so bad, and maybe having naked tea and biscuits with a relative stranger might boost her score on that fucked up app.

"Let me lead you through to the dining room Miss Jones, you can leave your bag here"

"Thank you, and please call me Mel" Melanie answered with genuine appreciation as she placed her bag at the entrance and followed Lucinda into the main room. When she got there her heart almost stopped.

"Roger, Micheal, Lucy this is Mel. She'll be joining us for tea and biscuits!"

The conversation Melanie had thought was coming from the television stopped mid sentence as the three strangers looked up in disbelief.

"It is normal and acceptable for me to be naked" Melanie blurted out as quickly as she could. Despite her suddenly reddening face suggesting that wasn't true, this again seemed to have an instant effect as the three strangers instantly relaxed. Apart from Lucinda it transpired there were three other people here this morning. A tall, pretty blonde haired girl who looked to be in her mid twenties, a handsome dark haired guy of around the same age and a corpulent older man, maybe in his late fifties, with grey hair.

"You two! Stop gawping at Mel!" the young woman admonished the males in the room in a jokey tone. It was clear from Michael's guilty expression as he turned his attention away from Melanie and the smile on the older mans face as he continued to stare shamelessly at Melanie's tits that her statement may have caused people to accept her nudity as normal for her it would not stop men (and some women) from finding her naked body desirable.

"Mel, this is my brother Roger, his son Michael and Michael's partner Anna" Lucinda announced as if everything were perfectly normal.

"It's great to meet you all" Melanie lied politely "But I should probably grab my parcel and leave."

"Nonsense!" Roger answered eagerly as he patted the seat next to him on the couch "There's room for one more!"

Not wanting to appear rude Melanie made her best attempt at a friendly smile and somewhat reluctantly sat herself down on the small two person leather sofa next to Roger. The size of the older man meant, as small as she tried to make herself, her bare skin was pressed against his clothing. She was sat opposite her were the young couple.

Again Melanie's initial instinct was to try and cover as much of her body as possible. She had decided though that trying to hide her intimate parts now would make her look ashamed which would only make the situation worse. She was sitting upright with her hands on her knees and her legs pressed together, which seemed natural due to the tight space she was squeezed into. She was sat directly opposite the young couple and, as much as he tried to disguise it, she was aware Michael was sneaking peeks at her boobs whenever he thought she wasn't looking. To Melanie's shock she found that quite exciting, though she wasn't sure why.

As much as she tried to avoid it, the subject of her nudity was soon dominating the conversation.

"So, when did you decide to become a nudist Mel?" Anna asked politely.

"I wouldn't really consider myself a nudist" Melanie answered as honestly as she could.

"Well you certainly look like one to me!" Roger chuckled, using the excuse to place his hand temporarily on Melanie's thigh.

"I actually think you are really brave and it must be quite freeing" the young blonde continued "Though I don't think I could ever do it myself. Though one time on holiday..."

As Anna continued to speak about her nudist beach experience and Melanie politely held her gaze and nodded Melanie was aware that Michael's eyes were fully fixed on her. That made somehow her heart race and, caught in the moment she widened her legs a little. Her eyes darted quickly over to Michael who was smiling to himself and continuing to stare even when Melanie briefly made eye contact with him. Not sure quite what was coming over her, Mel subtly continued to widen her legs as far as she could to further enhance Michael's view. Her face was starting to flush and her nipples hardened as Michael almost involuntarily moved his hand towards his lap. Anna, somehow, still seemed oblivious as she continued her anecdote. What was this strange sensation Melanie was suddenly experiencing and why did it feel so good?

[Beckster89]

As if unable to control herself Melanie subtly widened her legs a little further. There was no doubt both she and Michael knew exactly what each other were doing by this point. Roger seemed to have noticed too but wasn't saying anything, perhaps too busy enjoying the sensation of Melanie's shapely bare leg digging further into him. Both the other women in the room still seemed totally oblivious to what was going on around them, continuing to make conversation and sip tea, which only served to heighten Mel's pleasure. She had no idea why she was enjoying this so much, or why the threat of getting caught was eliciting excitement rather than fear. Perhaps it just made a change for someone who had always been taught to be so straight laced to be naughty for once. She was struggling to contain her heavy breathing now and had placed a hand very subtly between her legs, moving her fingers in a way that felt good to her but was subtle enough not to draw the attention of the unworldly Lucinda or Anna, who seemed wrapped up talking about herself.

Then all of a sudden Melanie let out a yelp as she felt something land on her lap. She looked down to see that a tabby cat had jumped onto her.

"Oh Oscar, behave yourself! It's just Mel!" Lucinda admonished her pet playfully.

As the cat jumped up Melanie suddenly came to her senses and realised she had been masturbating in her elderly neighbours dining room while making conversation with her family. Michael quickly excused himself to the bathroom while Melanie stood up to brush the cat hairs off her body. She turned her head and was mortified to see that she had left a wet patch on the cushion behind her. There was a dribble of liquid running down her right thigh too which she quickly mopped with her hand.

"Oh dear, it looks like Oscar has done a number on you there Mel!" Roger winked. He knew as well as she did the puddle was nothing to do with the cat but had seemingly decided to cover for her.

"That's strange. He's so well trained" Lucinda looked puzzled as she walked over and, to Melanie's horror, sniffed her guests cum "It doesn't smell like cat pee."

"Just stop fussing and clean it up. In the meantime Mel is welcome to sit on my lap" Roger playfully slapped Melanie on her left buttock.

"Roger, just because Mel has embraced an alternative lifestyle you don't get to demean her or treat her like a piece of meat!" Anna scolded, less playfully this time.

"Mel doesn't mind, does she?" Roger winked at Melanie again. Having just covered for her sexual indiscretion he clearly knew she couldn't afford to call him out.

"No, it's fine" Mel lied. She knew Anna was right though. No way would Roger be treating her like a whore if she were dressed.

"Good girl!" Roger winked as he slapped Melanie's bum a little harder so it left a light red mark. Suddenly she felt an overwhelming desire to leave this place and be alone. For a while being naked had seemed okay, exciting even, but now it was like she was living in an anxiety nightmare.

"Just sit in my chair!" Lucinda offered whilst wiping up Melanie's bodily fluids with a cloth "And help yourself to more cake"

"No, it's fine, I really should be going" Melanie answered as she made her way hurriedly to the door to fetch her bag.

"But what about your parcel?" Lucinda called after her.

"I could run it over to her later" Michael volunteered as he returned to from the bathroom.

"Or I could. There was something I wanted to talk to Mel about actually" Melanie heard Anna say as she was readying herself to leave.

After a quick check of the peephole Mel left Lucinda's place, dashed across the corridor and unlocked her door in record time before practically jumping back into her home, slamming the door behind her and sliding down into an exhausted heap on the floor. That couldn't have gone much worse, Mel figured, and either the guy she had just masturbated with or his wife would soon be coming to her place with the package she had failed to retrieve.

With a sigh Mel took her phone from her bag and checked the Naked Ambition app to see what further damage she had done to her already paltry score. However, she was shocked to see it had jumped up to 40%. There was even a little congratulatory message.

Great job on putting yourself out there like that today! It might not feel like it now but that was a giant move in the right direction for you!

Mel was puzzled on more than one count. Just how closely was this app able to monitor her? And what part of that social and sexual car crash did it think had gone well? She didn't have too much time to think though as there was a knock at the door.

Melanie stood up and looked through her peep hole. Anna was stood there holding the parcel Melanie had been supposed to have collected earlier. For some reason she was looking very self conscious and was adjusting her hair urgently. Melanie didn't really feel like company now but she needed that package so she opened the door, hiding most of her body behind it in case of passers by.

"Here is your parcel" Anna smiled as she held it out for Melanie.

"Oh, thanks!" Melanie forced a smile as she took the package and placed it on the floor behind her. For some reason Anna was still lingering.

"Michael has gone home, I said I'd join him later" Anna explained "Is it okay if I come in?"

Melanie couldn't think of an excuse so politely nodded and let the virtual stranger into her apartment. Anna hurried through and settled in Melanie's living room. She was an undeniably attractive woman, much taller than Melanie with a slim, athletic build, with dark blonde hair and sharp almost model like features.

"So you wanted to talk to me about something?" Melanie asked recalling the remark she had overheard Anna make while she was fleeing from Lucinda's place.

"Yes, well, it's a little embarrassing actually" the normally confident young woman seemed to be struggling for words "I just want to know how you do it, the whole no clothes thing. You are so brave! In fact I think you are kind of amazing!"

Melanie instantly felt like a fraud. All she wanted to do right now was rush to her wardrobe and throw on some clothes.

"I saw the way my husband was looking at you Mel" Anna continued "And I don't blame him. I mean I'm straight and even I think you're sexy" there was a slightly awkward pause before she continued "All I'm saying is he has never looked at me like that. And I was kind of thinking I could adopt the whole naked thing myself. Just at home I mean, I'm not as brave as you. But I've never been very confident of my body and I just wanted to know how you pushed yourself to do it? Or did it come naturally?"

Mel thought for a moment. It might be kind of nice for her to be able to talk about her problems with someone rather than feeling forced to keep them bottled up. She decided to be honest.

"The truth is being seen naked still terrifies me" Melanie admitted as she folded her arms defensively below her ample boobs, a gesture that inadvertently accentuated them "but then I found an app called Naked Ambition and now I literally cant wear clothes."

Anna was already busily tapping away on her phone and searching for the app, not realising that Melanie meant literally literally. "Wow, it must be a great app. I'm just downloading it now."

"I wouldn't recommend it. I haven't exactly enjoyed the experience" Melanie tried to warn her new acquaintance but she seemed to excited to listen.

"It's free!" Anna exclaimed "This seems to good to be true. Okay, I'm going to sign up now and as soon as I get home I'm going to undress. Michael will be so surprised."

"Anna, no you shouldn't.." Melanie tried to warn her guest but it was too late. All of a sudden Anna's clothes completely disappeared and she was sat stark naked across from Melanie who let out a sigh of exasperation. After a moment of stunned silence Anna began to freak out. She made a yelping sound and jumped up from her chair, desperately trying to hide her perky breasts and newly shave pussy from Melanie.

"What the fuck?!" Anna squealed "Mel, please. I need some clothes. Anything!"

Quite apart from the fact Melanie's clothes wouldn't come close to fitting Anna, she didn't want any more of her wardrobe vanishing.

"I'm sorry, you can't" Melanie told her sympathetically "I tried to warn you. It won't let you wear clothes until you complete the programme"

"The programme?" Anna repeated anxiously.

"Look on your phone. You should have a happiness score. What is it?" Mel responded pragmatically.

Anna looked quickly at her phone before looking back towards Mel "15%. Is that bad?"

[Beckster89]

"It's not good" Melanie admitted. Even her initial rating looked impressive compared to Anna's.

"Oh fuck, how is this even possible?" Anna panicked as she read through the criteria she would have to fulfil before she would be allowed to wear clothes again "I'll be naked forever with my score! Surely this can't be legal!"

"Someone has the power to make our clothes disappear and seems to know what I am doing at all times. I think this is outside of the law" Melanie reasoned.

"God you're right. This is like magic isn't it?" Anna panicked "Do you think someone has used the app to put a spell on us? Do you think we are cursed?"

"I don't know" Melanie admitted. She had gone through all the possible explanations in her head a thousand times already and was past the freaking out stage Anna was currently at "We might just have to do what the app says and hope we can get our scores up"

"But I can't just be naked in public! How am I even going to get home?" Anna fretted before looking at Melanie pleadingly "Can I stay with you while we sort this out Mel. I can make up an excuse to Michael. Please don't make me go out there like this!"

Melanie looked at poor girl who was on the verge of tears and knew she couldn't refuse her "Yes, of course"

"Oh thank you so much Mel, you're the best!" An emotional Anna instinctively rushed over to Mel and hugged her tightly, the two naked girls skin suddenly pressed against each other. It wasn't an unpleasant experience and the gesture was completely platonic, but Melanie released herself and took a step back as soon as she was able to. Anna took hold of her hands and looked into her eyes.

"We can do this together Mel! We just need to help each other reach our potential!"

Melanie thought for a moment. If she had to go outside it would be better to have another naked woman with her, and a tall blonde like Anna was bound to draw much of the unwanted attention away from Melanie.

"There are some exercises for two people on the app. They are supposed to help you reach your potential quicker than if you go through the programme alone" Melanie remembered.

"Well that sounds perfect! What kind of exercises?" Anna asked. She was surprisingly upbeat all of a sudden.

"I haven't looked at them yet, but I think I need a drink first" Melanie admitted "Shall I open a bottle of wine?"

"Oh, yes please!" Anna beamed as she settled herself down on the couch "You know, as weird as this might sound I think this could be kind of fun?"

[Beckster89]

A couple of glasses of wine later the girls were ready to begin looking through the two person activities the Naked Ambition app had recommended for them. They had discovered that by linking accounts they could receive bespoke content designed to quickly and effectively boost their all important life potential score. Anna currently had them sat cross legged facing each other on the floor of Melanie's apartment as she prepared to start the first 'bonding experience' suggested for them.

"Are you sure these exercises aren't aimed more at couples than two straight women who met this morning?" Melanie checked, feeling a little silly.

"Come on, don't back out on me now Mel, you saw how terrible my score was! I need this!" Anna joked.

"Fine" Melanie sighed "What do we have to do?"

Anna looked at her phone a moment before summarising "One of us has to look closely at the others body and describe what we like most about it."

"Ugh. I don't think I'm going to like these exercises" Melanie wrinkled her nose in distaste.

"It's okay, it will be easy. I'll describe your body" Anna offered "Literally all you have to do is sit."

"Fine then! Go ahead!"

Melanie sat in place while her new friend inspected her body closely, thoughtfully and Anna really seemed to be taking this seriously. Melanie figured not even John had ever paid such close attention to her physical form. But it didn't feel uncomfortable. She was surprised by how much wanted to hear Anna praise her body and wondered what parts she would like the most. Anna' first response came as no surprise.

"Let's get the obvious out of the way. You have amazing tits."

"God, you're just like a guy!" Melanie groaned.

"But it's true! They are just perfect. And even your nipples look delicious!"

"I have delicious nipples?" Melanie giggled, secretly pleased with the compliment.

"Sure you do! They are flawless! Pink, round, the areola isn't too big or small, nice and perky.."

Melanie realised that John had never once complimented her nipples, only her breasts. She was starting to enjoy this "What else do you like about me?" Melanie shifted her body to give Anna a clearer view.

"Your thighs. They also look delicious. Like I could really sink my teeth into them!"

"Anna!" Melanie giggled in surprise at this remark, though she clearly wasn't offended by it "What else?"

Anna moved in closer, her face now was close to the very thighs she had just been complimenting, but she was concentrating on something else. She hesitated a moment before she spoke but chose her words very deliberately.

"I like your cunt"

"Anna!" Mel gasped in mock shock again.

"But I do!" Melanie's new friend protested.

"No, but that word you used! It just sounds so sexually aggressive!"

"Okay then, I'm sorry. I like your vagina, Mel"

"Ugh, too clinical. Lets call it my pussy" Melanie decided, before taking another swig from her wine glass "So, what do you like about my pussy?"

"It's hard to describe. It just looks really... inviting" Anna, who by now was on all fours, moved in close enough that she could have licked Melanie's pussy but met with no resistance "And I like the small too. You have a very alluring scent down there."

"Well, I'm happy you like my cunt" Melanie spoke the words almost seductively. There was a pause as both girls, now breathing slowly and heavily, seemed frozen in place. Then Melanie got a hold of herself. She pushed herself back, sat up, tucked her knees under her chin in what seemed a defensive stance and flicked back her hair, noting as she did the beads of sweat that had formed on her forehead.

"So, we should probably see if that did anything for our scores" Melanie suggested.

"Yeah, good idea!" Anna moved back to where she had been sat before, looking a little flush.

"Wow, I'm up to 48%!" Melanie announced cheerily.

"Holy shit! I'm all the way up to 32%!" Anna exclaimed with joy.

"Wow, you must really like describing my body" Melanie half joked.

"Well, you obviously don't hate me describing it either" Anna smiled back "Seriously though, this is working. We should open another bottle and move onto the next stage of the exercise."

"I describe your body?" Mel guessed.

"No" Anna hesitated a moment, either out of awkwardness or anticipation "I touch yours"

[Beckster89]

"Well I suppose I need the percentage points. I'd like to get back into my clothes before I have to resign my job" Melanie tried to sound reluctant as she agreed to the next stage of the latest inhibition lowering activity on the Naked Ambition app. In fact, for reasons she could not explain, the thought of being touched by Anna excited her greatly. This seemed strange as, although Anna was undeniably a beautiful woman, Melanie felt sure both she and her new friend were straight. But when Anna had been scrutinising and complementing her naked body a little earlier it had made Melanie feel like a sexual being in a way she never had before. John had always been far too much of a gentleman to make his girlfriend feel anything like a sex object, but perhaps that was exactly what Melanie secretly wanted to be sometimes.

Melanie stood up, brushed the lint from the carpet from her skin and self consciously preened her hair a little in preparation for what was coming next "Okay, you can touch me wherever you want. You have my consent."

Anna nodded and smiled a little shyly. Like Melanie she was quite confused about her feelings in this moment. She had always considered herself straight and lived a very conventional lifestyle. Yet when Melanie had showed up naked at Lucille's house that morning she had felt a sudden and completely unexpected urge to take all of her clothes off too. Her appallingly low happiness score on the app had also convinced Anna that she should not continue to ignore her less conventional sexual urges to avoid the risk offending anyone or not fitting in to societal norms, which was exactly what she had been doing ever since puberty. Nor should be ashamed for becoming horny in any other circumstances than during intercourse with her boyfriend.

And Anna was horny now. She had a beautiful, naked woman in front of her inviting her to touch her body wherever she wanted. This was a privileged position to be in. Were it not for pure chance and their unique circumstances Anna was certain Melanie would never have agreed to anything like this with anyone, probably not even her boyfriend. Wanting to take full advantage of the situation, Anna found herself making up a few rules of her own.

"The app says you are not allowed to speak during this exercise" Anna lied while pretending to read from her phone "You are to be treated as a mere sex toy for me to play with." Melanie nodded, not sure why that sounded so appealing to her "Also, it says I can get points by talking dirty to you and demeaning you. Calling you a slut and stuff I guess. Is that okay? You know, just to boost our scores?" Mel blushed a little, but nodded again.

"Okay then" Anna put down her phone and took a deep breath "Let's do this!"

Melanie stood in place in a state of nervous anticipation as she waited for the next stage of her Naked Ambition programme to begin. 48 Hours ago she would never in her craziest dreams have imagined doing something like this. She had ditched work and was instead stood naked in her front room facing another straight woman who she had only met that morning and who she had consented to give full access to her body. Not only that but Anna had intimated that she was intending to demean, insult and shame Melanie while she was doing touching her up. And they were being watched. Melanie wasn't sure how or by who but the extraordinary app she had downloaded knew her every move as soon as it happened. She was certain that her impending humiliation wasn't going to be a private one.

But what she couldn't understand was why all of this was such a thrill to her. At first the Naked Ambition programme had felt like a curse that had inflicted permanent nudity on her against her will and was forcing her to jump through humiliating hoops to regain the simple human right of being clothed. But she would be lying to herself if she didn't accept that she had already learned some extremely valuable lessons even in this early phase of the course. She was a beautiful, desirable woman with a hot body that most men and probably even plenty of women would want to fuck if given the chance. That was something to be proud and not ashamed of as she had been up until now. Furthermore, she had a perfectly healthy sex drive and probably a few weird kinks to be explored and the only unnatural thing to do would be to suppress those urges as she had done since adolescence. She was not only ready but excited for whatever Anna was going to throw at her.

The application had awoken something in Anna as well. The normally meek and agreeable office worker was ready to unleash a part of her she had suppressed so hard she barely knew existed before. She had lied about a number of instructions she had pretended to read from the app to get Melanie into the position she currently had her in. She had skipped the exercise where Melanie looked at her body, the mutual discussion of the experience afterwards and the recommended twenty four hour break before moving onto the touching section. She had missed out the part of the instructions that said the touching exercise should avoid breasts, butt and genitalia and had also added in a whole new part that involved calling her partner demeaning names and banning them from speaking.

Anna didn't know why she had felt the urge to do that and whether it made her a bad person but right now she didn't care. When would she get another chance like this to reduce a beautiful, intelligent and successful woman to her lowly sex toy? Now wonder her life satisfaction score was so low. She hadn't even realised it was possible to feel as turned on as she did right now.

It was time to begin the new exercise that Anna had devised. Her pleasant smile turned to a sneer as she walked slowly towards Melanie until she was standing close enough to almost be touching but, tantalisingly, just about avoiding physical contact. She leaned down and whispered into the shorter girls ear.

"You are my property now Melanie, to do with as I please. Do you understand?"

Melanie felt an inexplicable wave of excitement at that statement. She decided not to question why or be embarrassed by her feeling that way but to embrace it and play along. She nodded.

"Look at you. Stood naked in your own house as nothing more than my personal sex toy. Have you no shame?" Anna taunted to Melanie's delight "I don't think you do. Because you are nothing but my little fuckslut after all. In fact I think that is what I shall call you from now on. Fuckslut. Is that okay with you Fuckslut?"

At this moment Anna winked at Melanie to reassure her this was part of the fun but she didn't need to. Melanie was hot for this. Biting her lip she nodded again. Fuckslut was more than ready for Anna to get to the touching part.

[Beckster89]

Considering how how similar Anna and Melanie's personalities and lifestyles seemed to be, on a surface level at least, it was surprising how quickly and comfortably they had fallen into dominant and submissive roles in this scenario. It wasn't even as if the Naked Ambition app had asked them to do this, but it's claim that forcing people outside their comfort zone helped them to find pleasure and fulfilment without being restrained by fear or shame.

Melanie (presently renamed Fuckslut by Anna) was looking up at the taller girl and wondering what was going to happen next. Anna was in total control now, and Melanie was willing to go along with whatever she said.

"On your knees, Fuckslut!"

Melanie obeyed as Anna walked over to her, standing with her legs apart and her hands on her hips to impose herself as if she were a prison warden. Anna was already a tall girl while Melanie was on the short side so now she was completely towering over her now. In fact, Melanie's face was close enough to Anna's pussy now that she could smell it's alluring scent. It wasn't there for long though as Anna crouched down to her level, legs spread to give Melanie a beautiful view of what was between them. She couldn't help but look.

"Eyes up here, fuckslut! You dirty, horny little bitch!" Anna's words may have been harsh but she betrayed her true feelings as she gently caressed Melanie's right nipple, which hardened and rose to attention "Do you realise what a depraved little pervert you are Fuckslut? Showing up at my boyfriends mother's house naked? Parading your tasty looking tits and your peachy butt and your cute little cunt around the place and saying that was normal to you? Tempting me round here because I had to come and see you even though I'm straight? Not stopping me from downloading that app when you knew what it would do? So now we are both stuck here naked together like a pair of hot, naked perverts? Was that your plan all along Fuckslut? You filthy little bitch?"

Melanie could contain herself no longer. She leaned forward and kissed Anna. There was a moment of stunned silence that ended the role play.

"I'm sorry Anna, I don't know why I did that. I guess the whole role play thing was a bad idea"

"No. It wasn't. You were right" Anna leaned forward and the two girls kissed again. As she pushed Melanie gently to the ground it looked like the touching exercise was going to be a big success.

[Beckster89]

Melanie and Anna awoke the next morning in each others arms as memories from the previous night still lingered, as pleasant as they were surprising. Last night they had come to know each other as intimately as two people could - exploring, feeling and tasting each others bodies as much as it was physically possible to do.

"Shit, I didn't even think to check the app" Melanie sat up in bed and grabbed her phone. Last night's activities with Anna had ended up making everything else seem temporarily irrelevant.

"Oh, you're right" Anna realised as she went for hers too"I bet our scores shot up after all of that ... you know.."

"They must have" Melanie giggled happily. If she could just spend the next few days fucking Anna until they both reached a hundred percent and got their clothes back she would be more than happy "What are you on?"

"50%" Anna smiled "That's a pretty big leap! What about you?"

"50% too" Melanie sounded a lot less enthused "That's only 5% up from before. Why did yours go up so much more than mine?"

"It looks like we've hit some sort of bar" Anna answered as she fiddled with her phone "Hang on, I have a message"

Melanie too found an identical text on her own Naked Ambition account. The two girls read through simultaneously. It wasn't good news.

"So it looks like we have maxed out how much we can raise each others score" Anna summarised "I guess it wants us to be naked around people we aren't attracted to and who we don't want seeing our bodies or sexualising us.

"Shit!" Melanie cursed. All the anxieties she felt when she had first downloaded the app and been forced out of her clothes had suddenly resurfaced now her nice little bubble of pleasurable nudity with Anna had been burst. She didn't want just anyone to see her body "Why is the app doing this to us? I was actually starting to feel happy which is what it is supposed to want isn't it?"

"I guess it is all about pushing people out of their comfort zones and we are incredibly comfortable with each other now" Anna reasoned "Personally I'm willing to give it a shot. Things have turned out pretty well so far."

"It's not like we have a choice" Melanie sighed, amazed at how quickly Anna had gone from a shy and somewhat prudish girl to such an apparent advocate for public nudity.

"It doesn't mean we can't stick together and support each other through this" Anna stroked Melanie's back reassuringly as she spoke "I'm nervous too. But maybe we just need to trust the process."

"So what do you suggest?"

"Well, we need to get some stuff for breakfast from the shop around the corner. That seems pretty straightforward, especially as we have that phrase to help us. That works for you right?"

"It is normal and acceptable for me to be naked" Melanie remembered "Yeah, it does I guess."

"Right, well once we've showered I can go to the shop and see what it does to my score. Or you can, or we can both go together. Whatever you would prefer?" Anna offered.

"Let me think about it while we shower" Melanie answered solemnly. The only palatable option out of those was for Anna to go, but that would be a little selfish and not very supportive. She needed some time to think this over and she didn't have much of it.

[Beckster89]

One advantage to the new naked lifestyle Melanie had been forced into, temporarily at least, was that it was a real time saver. Once she and Anna had showered, dried themselves and fixed their hair they were ready to go. There wasn't any laundry to do later either.

"Have you decided who should go?" Anna asked as she tied her dark blonde hair back into a ponytail.

"Yeah, I had an idea actually. I figure if we went together we would get less points, plus one of us going out there naked might be considered an eccentric free spirit whereas the two of us would probably be a local news story."

"I agree" Anna nodded "Although it would mean only one of us getting any points."

"That's why I think we should take it it turns. One of us gets the eggs and milk, the other gets bread and bacon. It also means we split the cost of breakfast."

"Wow, you have it all figured out Mel!" Anna smiled "It sounds like a plan to me. But who goes first?"

"Do you mind if you do?" Melanie asked a little awkwardly "I have a couple of things to sort out here."

"Sure, why not? Gets it out of the way!" Anna answered cheerily, as if this were just a normal errand run, and grabbed her bag from the coffee table "The shop is just around the corner on the right yeah?"

Melanie smiled gratefully and nodded. Anna stopped and took a deep breath as she stood at the front door, the first indication she was at all nervous at what she was about to do, before opening it and stepping outside.

As the door shut behind Anna, Melanie felt her heart starting to thump a little louder in her chest. In ten minutes time that would be her. In retrospect she probably should have gone first, this wait was going to be interminable. but she wanted the assurance of seeing Anna get through it okay first. That may have been selfish of her, but this was going to be hard enough as it was.

Right now Melanie felt just as exposed as she had done when her clothes had first vanished. Sure, she had been building her Naked Ambition score nicely up until now but the training wheels hadn't really come off yet and the tough part was about to begin. Since she lost her clothes only three people had actually seen Melanie - two she turned out to be mutually attracted to so they hardly counted, and the third was a harmless old woman. Once she was out of the building it would be impossible to control who saw her naked and she could run into just about anyone. A chill went down her spine as an unpleasant thought suddenly hit her. Was it Angela on the counter at her local shop today or her awful husband Barry who openly perved on Melanie even when she was fully clothed? She tried to reassure herself that it the mornings it was usually Angela, at least as far as she could remember.

Another thought was preoccupying the nudity cursed girls mind. What exactly were her and Anna now? This morning they were acting as if the two of them were firm friends but last night they had been far more than that. Had they just been a pleasant distraction for each other in a time of crisis or were they something more? Either way both had partners, though John had never been able to make Melanie feel as horny and alive as she did last night.

Before too long Melanie's chain of thought was interrupted by the door buzzer. Not wanting to leave her friend stranded out in the communal stairwell any for longer than she needed to Melanie jumped up and opened the door. A seemingly untraumatised Anna shuffled past her and back into the apartment clutching a bottle of milk and a carton of eggs.

"Wow, you did it!" Melanie was genuinely impressed "How was it?"

"Not that bad actually" Anna sounded a little out of breath "I went as quickly as I could. There aren't that many people out. Obviously I got a lot of stares, a few wolf whistles. But I just kept saying the phrase and nobody gave me any trouble. Oh except the guy at the counter was a bit creepy."

"Barry?" Melanie's face fell.

"Yeah, that's him. He seemed really pervy. When I said I was a friend of yours he said you two were close and wanted to know if you would be turning up naked too."

"Me close with Barry? Yuck!" Melanie felt sick "What did you tell him?"

"I said I had no idea about that" Anna looked concerned for her friend "If you want me to go again I can. You shouldn't have to expose yourself to someone who obviously has a thing for you."

"Thanks, but I need to do this" Melanie decided, though she was grateful for her new friends support "What did it do for your score?"

"I'm up to 55%" Anna beamed, justifiably proud of herself.

Melanie, inspired by her friends bravery, decided it was time to follow suit. She picked up her bag and threw her keys into it.

"Okay, I won't be long!" Melanie called to Anna as she left the safety of her flat and made her way from her building to the outside world.
