Isabelle sat on the couch with a large bowl of pretzels on her lap, now on her third day of calling in sick. She could only postpone leaving the house with her new chastity belt. She concluded that none of her outfits hid the thick steel restraint, regardless of all Nathan's reassurances to the contrary.
Nathan had left to go on a date. With the house all to herself, she had no reason to mask her behavior. Now she was wearing a t-shirt and sweatpants, making no effort to hide her impromptu vacation.
'At least he's distracted for now,'
she thought.
'I know when my boy is planning something. He's been thinking up a way to get me outside with this chastity belt.'
The sound of the front door opening interrupted her relaxation. Nathan walked in, breathing a heavy sigh. She asked, "I didn't expect you home so soon. Is everything alright, sweetheart?"
He let out a humorless chuckle. "Well, she canceled on me halfway to the restaurant." He stood in the entryway, wearing dress pants and a collared shirt that Isabelle had picked out for him. He was looking down, twirling his keys in his hand. Suddenly, he smirked. "You know," he said, "I made a reservation. There's no need to waste it. I want you to be ready to go in twenty minutes."
"You want to take me out instead?" Isabelle asked. Nathan tilted his head toward her room. She lazily got up and began walking toward the stairs.
As she passed him, she whimpered, "Do I have to?" He answered with a playful but hard spank.
Her twenty minutes were focused on her hair and make-up, hoping that she could keep the eyes of onlookers above her waist. To aid her plan, she picked a dress that did a decent job of concealing her chastity belt's outline. Eventually, she came downstairs.
Nathan looked her up and down and said, "You look good. I bet no one will have a clue about your belt."
She responded, "Okay, maybe no one will notice tonight. But still, what if someone does see the belt? What would they think?"
"I can't guess about other people, but what about you? What would you think if you knew for certain someone saw you in chastity?" he shot back. Isabelle was quiet for a long moment, in deep consideration of how to articulate herself. Nathan didn't wait for an answer. "Let's find out together."
"How?" she asked. Unconsciously, she put her hands in front of her, as if trying to hide the belt from what he was planning.
He explained, "I'll bet you wore that dress because it hides your belt. I want you to change into whatever outfit shows it off the most. Then we'll go to dinner."
A pit suddenly opened in Isabelle's stomach. She thought,
'Is that really his plan? I knew he'd find a way to get me used to this belt, but I never thought he'd go so far. It's fine, it's fine. In the grand scheme of things, a chastity belt isn't even the kinkiest thing I've worn out in public. It's just going to be the most visible. By a lot.'
She blurted out, "Let's make a deal. I'll do this for you, but you have to do something I've been wanting."
"And what would that be?"
"Can it be a surprise?"
Nathan smiled and turned away. He went to wait in the car; his way of telling her to be quick. She knew she could get away with not wearing her most revealing outfit, but she didn't want to disobey. After a deep breath, she pulled the new dress from its hiding place in the back of the closet.
It was almost completely see-through. Ironically, she bought it while gripped by a fantasy about wearing it out on some exhibitionist adventure. The lacy flower patterns accentuated the skin left visible under the sheer gray fabric. Isabelle's black bra and bright silvery chastity belt were in full view.
Wasting no time, she threw it on and marched out of the house, trying not to look at herself in any reflection on the way. Her shaky hand opened the door, and she forced herself out into the warm evening air. The wind was unbroken by her sheer dress, making her feel completely naked. The neighborhood was quiet and the street empty, but every lit up window felt like another pair of eyes on her.
Nathan watched her as she approached the car, wearing the same expression Isabelle pictured on every invisible onlooker. When she climbed into the passenger seat, he said, "Quite the bold statement. I didn't even know you owned something like that."
Isabelle didn't look at him, instead reaching for his hand and squeezed it tightly. He put his other hand around hers. "You'll be just fine, Isabelle. Whenever you feel embarrassed, just remember how much you like chastity."
She smiled, putting on a brave face. His warm hands and gentle eyes drove out the cold and the imagined stares from earlier. But he said her name.
