"Laura!" Rob called into the house. When Laura arrived he had that all-too-familiar mischievous look on his face . "I dare you." he said.
"You dare me what?" Laura replied with an equal smattering of impetuousness.
"I dare you to wash the car at U-Wash-It".
"That's not much of a dare, and besides I don't feel like wasting my whole evening on the road. U-Wash-It must be nearly 15 minutes from here, more without the highway."
"Did I mention that you have to do it naked? You can start and end here in the garage, so no worry about the neighbors, and since U-Wash-It is self-serve you don't need to get out of the car at all. Or, of course, you can just chicken out."
Laura knew darn well Rob could have a trick or two up his sleeve, and pressed for details: "OK, the car is running well and there's plenty of gas right? There's no way I'm going to pump gas naked!"
"No, everything is fine. The tank is full, the upholstery is clean, and the windows are sparkling. All it needs is a wash."
Dusk was beginning to settle and Laura realized there was very little chance anyone would be able to see into the car even under the best of circumstances. And if it meant winning a dare..."OK, I'll do it!"
A few minutes later Laura came back into the garage dressed for the trip in socks and tennis shoes. Rob smiled and admired the sight. Her shapely breasts, prominent nipples, and slender waist always brought a rise, and not only to his pulse.
Laura twirled her cell phone by it's cord "And if I run into any trouble, you're gonna hear about it"
"I'm sure I will." Rob replied grinningly.
Some of Laura's bravado sagged as she got into the car and closed the door. No need to press the remote, as Rob already had the door traveling upward. Doing her best not to let her wilted resolve show, Laura flashed he best confident smile at Rob as she backed the car out of the garage.
The car doors didn't yield quite the level of privacy Laura had anticipated, so she scrunched down a bit as she navigated the car onto the road. Looking about she realized that anyone who just might happen to look out of a second story window might well see right into the car, and with that realization she drove out of the neighborhood as quickly as safety would allow. The last thing she needed was to become the talk of the neighborhood.
The stop sign a the end of the road was relatively private, no tall homes to see into the car. As Laura waited for traffic to clear she noticed two older teenage boys walking down the cross-street towards the intersection. "If they get here before I can make the turn they're gonna see everything" thought Laura. "It would probably make these fellas' day to be able to tell their friends they saw a naked lady." But Laura had no interest in becoming part of their Sex Ed and nervously waited for traffic to clear as the boys came nearer. In what seemed to be nick-of-time movie choreography, the traffic cleared allowing her to pull out just as the boys became dangerously near.
On the main road Laura noticed that she couldn't see much more than a shapes in the cars around her except for the brief moments when passing under a streetlight. Not much chance of being seen. This was gonna be an easy dare to win.
She relaxed and sat up straight in the seat, no longer hunched down as she realized she sort of liked being, naked out in the world. It felt sort of naughty and nice at the same time. The thought crossed her mind "What if those boys had been a bit older -- say college age -- and I had gotten close enough to see me naked in my car?"
A nervous shiver ran up her spine as Laura realized the thought somewhat excited her. But not much time left to think about that-- a stoplight loomed red.
Pulling to a stop at the light something Laura had long known took new significance: intersections are well-lit. At the moment Laura was the only car stopped, but several other cars were approaching. The first pulled in behind her, but the second, a small pickup truck, pulled into the turn lane to her left.
Laura took a quick peek as the pickup pulled up and noted that the sole passenger was a man of about 30 years old. Laura's nipples hardened as she resisted the modest urge to scrunch back down in her seat. "If he looks over here he's going to get a bit of a surprise" she thought to herself. "But there's no way I'm going to look and see if he does!"
Keeping her eyes focused straight ahead, Laura waited for the light to turn and slowly pulled out when it did.
A rush of adrenalin hit her. "I'll never know if he looked" she thought to herself. But the thought that a stranger might have been looking at her and her bare breasts -- and that perhaps, if he did, he might have found the sight arousing.... Laura's heart beat a bit faster.
A few more intersections came and went without incident and the car approached the ramp to US12, the quickest route to U-Wash-It.
Laura about jumped out of her skin -- she wasn't wearing much else -- as the car filled with sound. "Damn!" she exclaimed before realizing the cell phone was ringing.
"How's it going Ms Godiva? Did you get your stallion cleaned yet?" came Rob's teasing voice.
