My Naked Walk Around the Park
A successful businesswoman loses a dare
by G. Lawrence
Like many stories on Literotica, this story could have multiple categories. It could be BDSM because of the handcuffs. In my opinion, it is not Nonconsent/Reluctance as the dare is agreed to by all parties. So, I am going with my default category, Exhibitionist & Voyeur. Please note that none of the events in this story really happened. It's a fantasy. None of it is intended to be taken literally or practiced in real life. There is nudity but no sex. And a warning, as much as I like my usual breezy comedic escapade stories, this entry is more thoughtful. It's not for everyone. All characters in the story are 18 years or older.

High-end real estate is a competitive field. Having been selling exclusive properties for four years, my girlfriends and I often bet on which clients would put a particular estate into their vast portfolios. My guessing was generally good but not perfect. Those who lost bets would have to give up a dare. And even more audacious, we were allowed to sell someone's dare to another party, a danger intended to keep us on our toes.
I confess to having been on a four-year winning streak and maybe became too boastful. My name is Anne Montgomery, and many thought I was one of the prettier sales executives, with a graceful figure, nice boobs, long golden-brown hair, and an insolent swagger in my deep blue eyes. At 27, I was younger than most of the veteran agents. I had shown the Bradhurst Association a wonderful mansion being offered for sale well below market value and was sure they would buy it, betting my best friend Linda that I'd close the deal. I was wrong. At the last minute, my chief competitor from another firm swooped in with a property the association liked better. I lost my bet. I could imagine Wanda Manning gloating after the many times I bested her.
Our weekends were always busy with open houses. Mondays were devoted to contracts. Tuesdays were about paperwork. The girls' night out was on Wednesdays. By then the hectic pace would quiet down. I met Linda, who was only three years older than me, at the Blue Duckling, our favorite watering hole just around the corner from the office. Three other women joined us: Sandra, Judy, and Candace. The first two were in their mid-30s, generally polite though often jealous. Candace had been my apprentice until her recent promotion.
"So, Wanda finally snookered you," Judy said, rubbing it in. Her green eyes weren't trying to hide her joy.
"Yes. Wanda had an unlisted property that she was holding back," I explained. "Mrs. Bradhurst fell in love with it and overruled her husband."
"And you lost your bet to Linda," Sandra eagerly mentioned, on the edge of her seat. Her glee was obvious.
"I did, though she hasn't told me what my dare is yet," I replied, looking at her.
"It's going to be a surprise. A big surprise," Linda said with a hesitant grin that had me uncomfortable.
"We can hardly wait," Candace happily smirked. Five years younger than I, she was still a rookie who I had tried to help, though I think she took my advice as criticism.
I noticed Wanda Manning enter, 45-years old, tall and immaculately groomed as always, with her supermodel features and elegant chocolate brown suit. I hoped she wouldn't notice us, but Linda waved her over.
"Congratulations," Linda said, standing up to give her a hug. "That was a colossal sale. Can we buy you a drink?"
"That's nice of you," she agreed. "Are you sure Annie is okay with me joining you? After I kicked her ass?"
"You didn't kick my ass," I protested. "You found the garden Mrs. Bradhurst always wanted and convinced their association to buy it for her."
"Do you think that was an accident?" Wanda said with a wink. "It's all about getting to know the client and serving their wants. Nothing in this business is more important than serving wants."
"Annie, you do tend to talk more than you listen," Linda cautioned, and not for the first time. "Being pretty will only get you so far."
"I've been doing okay," I replied, impatient with their smugness.
"Well, since you seem to have it all together, is this a good night for our dare?" Linda asked.
"We should talk about that privately," I answered.
"Fair enough," Linda agreed.
The group broke up just before eleven o'clock after plenty of drinks. Wanda had been on her best behavior, less obnoxious than usual. A longtime veteran agent, she could be overbearing. The other girls appeared in high spirits, which I didn't quite understand. Their sales had been suffering while mine had been soaring.
On the sidewalk, Linda pulled me aside. "Let's discuss the dare in the park," she said, leading me across the street. It was one of those mile-square parks, with basketball and tennis courts, a golf course, soccer fields, and an outdoor amphitheater. Tall trees along the meandering running trails made vast portions look like a forest. We stopped just inside the park entrance near a bench. It was nearly deserted this time of night on a weekday.
"I've been waiting for this for a long time," Linda said. "You're my best friend, and I love you, but sometimes even best friends need a wake-up call."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"To go the distance in our business, and in life, sometimes humility is needed," she answered. "You've been having a problem with that. I want to help you."
"I still don't know what you mean. What help?"
"Is our dare on? Are you ready?"
"Yes, I'm ready," I agreed.
"That's good. Take off your clothes," Linda ordered.
"What? Here?" I protested.
"You had Judy take off her clothes."
"At a pool party, in your backyard. Not in public."
"It set a precedent. And you had Sandra streak the gym."
"Yes, that was funny," I remembered. "But again, the gym is private. People walk around nude all the time."
"I don't think Candace was amused when you switched locks on her gym locker," Linda pointed out.
"She still had her towel," I responded. "Am I getting a towel?"
"No, you are taking off your clothes. Now let's get this going."
A dare was a dare. I knew the rules and never welched, as Linda knew. I sat on the bench to remove my sneakers and socks. Linda put them in a duffel bag. It was a warm night, so I hadn't worn a sweater. My blouse went next, and then my slacks. I got up from the bench, only my bra and panties remained.
"Can I keep these?" I requested.
