Sonja sat on the bus, staring at her feet. She was riding home from her second session with her new hypnotherapist, Dr. Victoria Dotz. She had a car, but the bus system in the city of St. Britney was fairly safe and reliable, as long as you were riding during daylight hours. After dark was generally a different story, which is why she generally only used the car for night errands and going to work. Long days meant late nights at Van Black and Sons, the legal firm she worked for as a paralegal, and besides that, the pressure of the job meant she'd often sought refuge in her car when she was succumbing to a panic attack.
She wasn't thinking about any of that, though. Sonja was staring at her feet. Not the first time she'd done that on the bus, as shy as she was, but this wasn't out of shyness. Today she was staring at her feet because something felt... different. The way they felt inside her heel-less black loafers was wrong, but she was struggling to place what was wrong. Maybe because nothing was wrong? They didn't hurt, they weren't uncomfortable, they just felt... different, somehow. Even good, perhaps.
What happened to my socks?
she thought to herself. She had been wearing some, hadn't she? She plucked one of her feet out of its shoe, inspecting it as she mulled it over. It looked like her normal foot, it just didn't have a sock on it.
I always wear socks,
Sonja thought to herself.
Where are they?
She thought back, but just like after the first meeting, Sonja had a hard time remembering any specifics from her hypnotherapy sessions with Dr. Dotz. All she could remember was how content she felt during each session, somewhere far away from her daily anxieties. Somewhere she couldn't remember now that she was conscious. Sonja sighed longingly,
And now I can't remember my socks either!
Sonja slid her foot back into the black loafer.
Fine,
she thought,
Who needs socks anyway?

After she arrived at home, Sonja took off her shoes and when her bare feet touched the carpet she stopped what she was doing, marveling at how soft and
sweet
it felt under her toes. She balled her toes against the carpet several times before proceeding to walk to her room. As she walked she became suddenly aware of the warmth between her thighs, and how it increased as her legs brushed against each other. She felt a wetness as well, working in tandem with the warmth she was feeling.
"Okay, Sonja," she said to herself, alone in the apartment. "Time to take a cold shower, get your composure back. This isn't you." And it really wasn't; Sonja rarely indulged in sexual fantasies, she almost never masturbated, and she hadn't had sex since college. The experience had left a bad taste in her mouth, literally, and she had never sought it again.
Sonja walked to the bathroom, doing her best to ignore the strange tickle on the bottom of her feet as her toes dug deep into the carpet with every step. She wasn't sure if the pleasure she derived from each step made her comfortable or uncomfortable, but she hoped the shower would sort her out either way. Sonja closed the bathroom door behind her and began to undress, first peeling off her shirt and then her pants, tossing each in a pile.
She paused to look herself over in the mirror, something she didn't normally take the time to do. She felt cute, despite her desire to cool off those sorts of thoughts, and she caught herself standing on her tippy toes, turning slowly in each direction as she gazed at herself in the mirror. She shook her head at herself, and turned on the shower. Cold.
Then Sonja pulled off her bra, one of the new ones she had purchased last week, and set it on the pile. Though her breasts were not large, it was still a relief to finally have it off now at the end of the day. She fought the urge to look at herself in the mirror again, and this time she won. Now she began to slide her panties down from around her waist, and it was only now that she truly realized how soaking wet they were. She was puzzled, not for the first time that day, and wondered how they could have managed to get this wet since she got home. What she did not realize is that she had soaked through them during her session with Dr. Dotz, and every little stimuli since then had only added to it.
She watched -and felt- as three beads of her own juices trailed down her inner thigh.
This is ridiculous,
she thought. She finished peeling the soaked fabric down, lifting her legs out of it one at a time. She threw it down, and the wet slapping noise it made against the floor made the hair on the back of her neck stand up.
Now she plunged herself into the shower, letting the cold water settle her nerves and
cool her off.

Ten minutes later, Sonja was sitting in her bedroom with a towel wrapped around her, covering her from her torso down almost to her knees. The shower had helped immensely in centering her and helping her regain her composure, but no matter how she scrubbed she felt like she couldn't shake the sensation in her feet. That feeling of sweet newness that she couldn't explain or get rid of.
But why are you trying to get rid of it?
