Ruth stepped into the lobby of the research center with a confident stride and an energy that radiated a powerful conviction. She wore a charming and self-assured smile, one that could easily put anyone at ease and made Ruth appear overflowing with grace and warmth. Her eyes shone with certainty, telling everyone that glanced her way that she was exactly where she wanted to be. No one could have known from just looking at her that the young woman was in the scientific building for an extremely daring and audacious experiment. She didn't carry a single sign of concern or hesitation.

However the way she looked on the outside only partially reflected how Ruth actually felt on the inside. Her confidence wasn't completely fake, as there was a deep current of true excitement within her that grew with each step she took. But there were also strong waves of nervousness that churned underneath her self-assured exterior. Ruth had lived much of her life ruled by timidity and hesitation. She had only recently broken out of the shackles of meekness, and the habits of her younger life were hard to throw off completely. Even so, the more she put on a show of being outwardly confident the more she felt her worries decrease.

Ruth walked straight up to the front desk, grinning warmly at the secretary seated behind it. There were a good number of people in the lobby, but none were waiting in line which let Ruth get right to work. After checking her name off a list and getting signed in Ruth was given a mountain of paperwork to complete. The arduous task of scanning through page after page of incomprehensible legal jargon might have taken the eager spirit out of most people, but Ruth maintained her excitement even as she put down her signature for the hundredth time.

She had already gone through a great deal of onboarding through emails to the head researchers of the experiment she was joining, so Ruth was prepared for the need to do the extra paperwork. The researchers were a deliberate group, which made sense to Ruth. They needed to make sure to detail out every little thing and over explain every point to make sure their experiment could go ahead like they wished. This was especially important in experiments so extreme like the one Ruth was volunteering for, so they afford no laxity in their efforts to get everything correct down to the letter.

After finishing the paperwork and handing it back in, Ruth sat and waited in the lobby, glancing around at the others also there. The area had a combination of comfy chairs and seats as well as some tables. There was a mix of people in lab coats and suits chatting to each other over coffees as well as people in casual clothes just like Ruth. As she waited Ruth wondered if any of the researchers lounging around the area might be helping with the test she was about to do. This sent a tingle of excitement up through her body. It thrilled her even more to imagine one of the regular people being someone who was volunteering in the same experiment with her. She looked around, wondering who she might want the most to be paired with her.

Her daydreams were cut short as a young woman in a lab coat soon stepped into the lobby and called Ruth's name. Standing up Ruth gave her a confident smile as the woman introduced herself as Darla, one of the assistant researchers for the experiment. Darla gestured for Ruth to follow her and led her deeper inside the research center so that she could give Ruth the last steps of preparations for the experiment.

The room which Darla led her to was set up like a doctor's examination room, though with no exam table. Instead Ruth remained standing as Darla began to work on some small items at a desk. During this time Ruth considered the woman, wondering what she might be thinking about. She looked to be a little older than Ruth, perhaps 22 or 23 compared to Ruth's 19 years of age. That would mean she probably already graduated college, since the center they were at was not associated with any university or place of study and didn't employ any undergraduate students.

The thought of college, and especially the idea of finishing a degree and getting a job from it, made Ruth sigh softly and caused her bright smile to dim a little bit. Completing college had always been a goal given to Ruth, but one that had sadly been crushed by the tumults of her life. She had only managed to get through her first year of university before events beyond her control had taken her hopes away from her. Or at least she told herself that the events weren't her direct fault.

It had all happened quite fast. Her whole life had been planned out for her by her parents, and she had obeyed that plan to the letter for nearly all her life. Her childhood had been spent attending a private all girls christian school where she got amazing grades. Ruth didn't just strive academically, but she had excelled in a number of sports. She did everything she could to follow her parent's plan for her life, pouring every ounce of effort she had into succeeding. Ruth had spent so much time focusing on achieving every goal her parents set for her and obeying their large amount of strict rules that she never really had time for anything like a social life. And this was much to her parents' liking, who discouraged Ruth whenever she attempted to make a meaningful relationship outside the family.

Ruth did that all in an effort to gain her parents' approval, but even when she met their insanely high expectations they expressed their satisfaction with her sparingly and coldly. Still, all her work did at least get her a scholarship to the very prestigious and extremely expensive private christian college they had wanted her to attend. Ruth kept up her exhaustive work ethic all through her first year, achieving stellar grades and the attention of the faculty. Everything seemed to be working out, until it came crashing down all at once.

Thinking back on how her life had brought her to this point had made Ruth zone out for a few moments, and she only realized that the researcher was asking her a question after Darla asked it for a third time. Shaking her head and letting out another sigh Ruth collected her thoughts and focused back on the present.

"Sorry, I got lost in thought there. What were you saying?" Ruth asked the woman, giving her a soft smile.

To Ruth's relief the researcher didn't seem to mind repeating her question. "It's alright, I'd be distracted too if I was going to be a participant in this experiment." Darla said to Ruth, chuckling with a friendly warmth.

"I was just asking how you were feeling about all this. If you are still wanting to go through with it all. I know you just finished signing a dozen papers all saying you consented to everything, but the head researcher wants us to ask the participants in person before we start getting you set up with all the sensors." Darla told Ruth.

The young woman had an amiable air about her that made Ruth feel quite comfortable around Darla. It also helped that they were of a similar age. So when Ruth answered she was able to put all her conviction and confidence into her words while not worrying that it would come across as forced.

"I want to do this, I can promise you that. I mean, I can't help feeling a bit jittery about doing something so... Well something so wild as this, but I really want to do this." Ruth promised, and hearing her own words spoken aloud made her feel even more confident.

The research assistant chuckled at Ruth's answer. "God, well I am impressed by your spirit of adventure. I don't think I could do anything like this. Even just helping with this research is pushing me out of my comfort zones. You must live a very exciting life if you're bold enough for this." Darla told Ruth, and the way she spoke made it clear that she was giving a compliment to Ruth.

Her words made Ruth blush and look away slightly. "Um, not really. It's kind of a new thing for me. Or at least it's a part of me that I haven't been able to act on much before." Ruth explained, her voice losing some of its confident strength.

Saying this made Ruth think about how much her life had changed in a very short time. It had started right after her first year of classes had ended. As part of the rules of the strict christian college she was attending, all students were required to work the summers for the church the school belonged to. Because of Ruth's athletic record and her qualifications in first aid and lifeguarding, she had been assigned to work at a summer bible camp.

This alone had been a step out of Ruth's comfort zone. As a child she had been sheltered by her parents and never allowed to go to a summer camp, so Ruth had no idea what to expect when she first arrived at the camp. Much to her surprise, during the first few weeks of staff training Ruth found that she immediately loved it out in nature. She quickly discovered how much she loved the outdoors and grew extremely happy getting to experience more of nature, having never been given the chance to explore much on her own.

At first her adventures were done just by herself. Ruth still was quite timid and reserved, not having moved past the way her parents had made her live. They had discouraged her from developing any close friendships, so Ruth didn't have any practice making friends. Even during her first year of college her parents had monitored her social interactions through their relationships with the faculty members and discouraged Ruth from getting too close with anyone.

Luckily for Ruth her parents didn't have much reach at the summer camp and couldn't do anything to control her for once in her life. Her coworkers hadn't been nearly as sheltered as herself, so slowly Ruth began to build bonds and relationships. It started out just with one or two of the other female camp workers, but the pace rapidly increased. After living without friends for so long Ruth quickly found that she desperately desired these personal relationships, and now finding herself free to build them she dove headlong. That's where the trouble began.

Once again Ruth had found herself drifting off into thought and she focused back on the present matter. Darla was holding up one of the small items she had picked up off her desk. It was the size of a stamp, and incredibly thin. It was almost perfectly clear, with just a small opaque section in the middle that was also a little thicker.

"This is one of the sensors I'm going to place on you. They are light enough that you shouldn't feel a thing once they are on. For the experiment we'll have a dozen of them on you to monitor a number of things about your body." The woman explained, leaning in close and placing the first sensor on the side of Ruth's neck.

"Once they are on they shouldn't move. The adhesion is good enough that you won't have to worry about brushing them off by touching them either." She continued, placing another sensor on Ruth's arm.

"They are discreet enough you'll probably forget you have them on at all. Which will help with the test. The participant you're paired with will have them as well, and we don't want them interfering with how you two... interact." Darla, pausing for a moment and blushing brightly.

Ruth chuckled at her choice of words. Darla was doing a good job of acting professionally and normal about preparing Ruth for a very intimate test. Ruth was impressed by how casual she was, and also glad as it helped herself be more comfortable. The research assistant's attitude was soothing enough that Ruth hardly was bothered at all when she was asked to pull down her jeans in order for the last few sensors to be placed.

Darla tried to be delicate with how much she touched Ruth while placing the sensors, but Ruth still felt a heat rise up in her body and noticed her heart beating even faster. Her touch, even without any intimate intent, still aroused a flame of desire within Ruth. Her body was very sensitive to attention, which Ruth did very little to suppress. After so long of being denied attention Ruth had quickly learned to enjoy her body's reaction to being seen and touched.

This reminded her of how she felt when her new friendships at the camp had started to include the male staff as well. As much as her parents had kept away other girls from Ruth they had even more strictly kept her away from boys. So her first days of being around men her age without much supervision had been a learning experience. She let herself drift off into thought more purposefully this time, enjoying these memories far more.

The attention from the boys first came in just friendly smiles and looks that lingered a bit more than usual. At first Ruth was nervous from the attention, but she quickly grew to enjoy it. She had never been given much notice outside of when she won some award for academic excellence or for her athletic performance, and even then that had been short lived and mild. So to get so much attention from just standing around filled her with a warm and welcome pride. Ruth hadn't considered herself especially pretty or anything, though that was only because of how little compliments she had ever been allowed to get.

Ruth didn't do too much to encourage the guys who gazed eagerly at her, but she didn't do anything to discourage them either. This led to some of the other girls regarding her with envy from the focus her amazing body got her. In a short time Ruth went from building up friendships with her fellow women to being shut off from most of the girls at camp. They seemed to think that by not denying the attention of the boys that Ruth was acting better than them. This left the male half of the staff as her only option to seek out friendships.

Sex was a thing that had been never discussed around Ruth except in the most clinical of terms, and romance was a topic that was utterly banned. So when the first cute guy started to flirt with her Ruth was overwhelmed by the positive attention. Somehow she managed not to fall hopelessly in love with the guy, but rather in love just with the attention itself. She began to flirt back, and did so with almost all of the guys at the camp. They reacted eagerly to her advances, and soon flirting turned from just encouraging smiles and kind words to more physical displays of desire. This led to the girls being even more hostile to Ruth, sending her even further into the arms of the guys.

It didn't take long at all before she found herself sneaking out at night into the woods with one of the more experienced boys. As far as first times go, Ruth thought losing her virginity under the moon in the middle of a wooden glade was pretty special. The pleasure had been great, but the way the guy had treated her like a princess the entire time had made it magically. Ruth immediately needed more. And after that the floodgates had been opened, and Ruth was soon sneaking off with guys as often as she could. They were still only doing staff training, so there were no campers there yet. This gave Ruth plenty of opportunities to develop her sexual identity.

Ruth found that she was a fast learner, and she discovered exactly what she liked very quickly. She adored being touched, to have her body be treated as something precious. She also deeply enjoyed how special the guys treated her, like some sort of sexual goddess to be worshipped. Most of all she loved the attention, to have all of a guy's focus on her. After having been sheltered and hidden away for so long Ruth craved being seen and wanted.

This led her down a dangerous path. Even after just a week of fooling around with the guys Ruth started wanting more attention than just one guy could give her. To her disappointment she could never arrange a situation to sneak off with two guys at once, so she made due with other avenues of receiving more attention.

She started to make sure she had sex in places where they could be possibly overheard, and spots where they might be spotted. The risk of someone stumbling upon them thrilled her, making the sex even more pleasurable. She fantasized about something coming across her during the sex and watching her, giving her beauty even more adoration and praise. But the fantasy quickly became not enough, Ruth needed to make it real. She needed to have as many pairs of eyes on her as she could manage. So eventually Ruth engineered the situation that would make the rest of her life crumble apart.

Ruth used one of the more shy guys, the only one who still fumbled awkwardly when she flirted with him. He was about the only guy she hadn't slept with yet, but that wasn't because she hadn't tried. He just was too nervous to take up Ruth when she first offered him a chance to sneak away together. But now Ruth was more forceful, and with more aggressive and direct suggestions he finally agreed to meet up with her one night at the lakeside.

When he got there Ruth was already naked, and at that point his natural urges took over and overpowered his shyness. They soon were fucking vigoursly under the stars. What the boy didn't know was that Ruth had planned for most of the rest of the staff to arrive not too long after him. She had spread rumors and hints of something happening by the lakeside, and made sure that the whole camp would be curious enough to come and check it out.

Their coworkers trickled in one by one, drawn in closer by the loud sounds of Ruth's eager moans. Ruth spotted them quickly, and when she saw the first pair of eyes watching her as she rode the boy's cock she orgasmed immediately. She kept going, and her pleasure only increased as more people arrived and gazed in amazement at her display of pure sexuality.

More and more of the camp staff moved in around them, though the boy she was fucking was still oblivious to their audience. None of the men and women watching made a move to stop Ruth, but rather simply enjoyed the show she was putting on. Ruth cummed several times that night, with her strongest climax being the last. It happened just as the final piece of Ruth's plan fell into place. The camp's director arrived as Ruth's screams of ecstasy filled the night's air.

The camp director quickly put a stop to the exhibition, as well as to Ruth's academic career. She was removed from her position at the camp, and her scholarship was quickly revoked. When her parents found out what Ruth had done she was kicked out of the home, given just enough support to live on her own for a few months. All of her former acquaintances had been tied up with her school, church, and family, so Ruth was left alone.

But it had been worth it, more than worth it. Ruth finally had found something that made her feel like a true person, not just a puppet playing along to her parents' plans. She had discovered something true about herself, something that hadn't been planted there by anyone else. It had cost her dearly, but Ruth gladly paid that price in order to feel free and independent for the first time.

Though she felt fulfilled and liberated, living her new life still wasn't easy. It was tough enough trying to find a place to stay, a job, and everything else that went into the basic necessities. But Ruth also searched out and tried to satisfy the new desires that had worked their way into the center of her heart. She met up with a lot of guys, exploring her sexuality and trying new things. But she had never managed to get what she truly wanted, which was an audience to watch her as she achieved the heights of pleasure and joy. She briefly considered porn, but that path was quickly abandoned after a horrible experience with a sleazy casting agent.
