Chapter 77

While we hadn’t managed to keep our feet dry, they were still clean. We left our dirty, wet sneakers on the porch with the rain ponchos. Someone had already put towels inside the kitchen so we could dry our feet before entering the living room.

The others were seated at the dining table with everything for lunch in front of them.

“Thanks for the towel,” I told them.

“No problem,” Linda responded.

We joined them at the table and started picking things to put between a crusty roll.

While eating, Patrick asked, “So, what did you think of the new setup in your bedroom.”

“I like it,” I told him. “Not that my previous layout was wrong, but I think the curtain is probably smart.”

“How are your parents about respecting your privacy?” Claudia asked.

“I can’t complain. Most of the time, my parents knock before entering, but they don’t always wait for me to say they can enter,” I said, smiling. “My dad is better with it, but my mum has seen me a few times naked when I was changing clothes. However, I don’t think that will be a problem from Sunday on.”

“Oh! Why?” Linda wanted to know.

I smiled and answered, “If they let me, I will probably be running around the house with not too much on. During our last phone call, my mother didn’t say it straight out, but I got the feeling that she and even Dad wouldn’t mind me being naked when I was with them. However, before I do that, I will still need to talk with them to set boundaries regarding what they will tolerate and not.”

“Knowing your mother, I think she will tolerate a lot,” Nicole said. “She’s very open-minded about those things, and I got the feeling that she and your dad aren’t as inexperienced about certain things as you would think.”

“Do you think?” I asked her.

“She shared some things with me that I won’t repeat here. But, if she wants you to know, I’m sure she will tell you those things herself.”

I smiled at her and asked, “Can I ask her about it? Or don’t you want her to know that you said anything about it to me?”

Nicole thought about it and answered, “You can ask her. I don’t think she will be mad that I maybe said a little too much just now.”

“If you don’t want, I won’t ask,” I told Nicole.

“No, no. It will be fine. I’m sure!”

Okay! That could be an interesting conversation that I’m going to have with my mum, I thought.

“Anita,” Patrick said to get my attention. “Tomorrow, any idea how long you will be in the city?”

“Umm, no. The girl told me we would do something together in the afternoon, but she didn’t mention how long it would take.”

“I’m asking this because we have ordered something from a computer store in the Red Mall. Do you think you will be able to pick it up?”

“I’m sure she will let me get it when we are there,” I told Patrick.

“Okay, then I’ll call them to tell them you will pick it up tomorrow. And, if I’m not mistaken, they should be open till ten o’clock in the evening. I’m sure you won’t be with that girl that long.”

“I don’t think so either. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have said we would do something together in the afternoon.”

“Cool,” Patrick said. “That means we can use it on Saturday already.”

“What did you order?” I asked Patrick.

“Oh, it’s a very cool thing,” Patrick responded. “It’s a selfie-cam with two cameras. One is pointed away from you, and the other facing you. This way, when walking, you can film yourself and the whole area in front of you. I think this could be cool for hiking videos. This way, you can film yourself and, simultaneously, the reactions of people you meet on your walks. Those interactions could be interesting to post on the website as well. It gives it all an extra dimension.”

“Hmm, yeah. That sounds interesting. How did you come up with this?”

“There is a girl in Canada who does long runs, and she uses the same camera to film herself running while also showing the people along the road. People seem to like it, and her videos have higher views than those of others who do the same but mostly only film themselves or the road ahead of them and the people reacting to them.”

“Okay! So, no other naked girl or boy uses this?”

“I haven’t seen any other of them doing this. Most of them do it by filming themselves while walking, and when they see someone nearby or walking towards them, they turn the camera to film those people for a moment, and then they start filming themselves again. Sometimes, you hear that other person say something, but often, you don’t see them anymore in the video. With this kind of camera, we could cut it so you had a little interaction that you could watch. Just like in a movie.”

“Nice!” I said. “I would never have thought about that. I’m glad you guys are so great with this.”

“Well, thanks!” Patrick said. I noticed he was a little uncomfortable with me complimenting him. “But it will mostly depend on you if our website will be a success or not.”

“It’s a group effort,” I told him. “I, on my own, wouldn’t be able to do it!”

Patrick was about to respond when Claudia told Patrick, “Just take the compliment!”

Patrick looked at Claudia and the others and then back at me, “Like you said, ‘It’s a group effort.’ We all must do our best to make it a success.”

“I’m not sure why, but we already have more members than I would have thought possible in just a few days. If this continues, we will make money much sooner than anticipated,” Tim said.

“Is it really going that well?” Nicole asked.

“Yes,” Tim said, nodding, “I thought we maybe could have this kind of numbers after a month. But surely not after only a couple of days. I’m trying to track where those members came from, but I think there has to be a video out there that has gone viral. And with the trailer video we put on another website, they must have found our website faster than they normally would. Not that I’m complaining. The faster we can pay everything for the website’s upkeep and even make a profit, the better.”

“I’m happy to hear this,” Nicole said. “Honestly, I had doubts about this, especially because there is so much free content online.”

“This type of thing is still very popular,” Patrick said. “It’s normally something illegal, even today. So, if someone puts these kinds of videos on the net, people are eager to pay for them. It’s something like voyeurism for those people. They get a thrill from seeing someone do something that isn’t allowed, and at the same time, some will even wonder what would happen if the girl or boy got caught.” He then looked at me and said, “If you ever get caught while filming, try to film it as long as you can. Especially if you have any interaction with the police. I bet members will go crazy if anything like that happens. Of course, if the police ask you to stop filming, you better stop right away. Not that filming them is illegal, but they can get cranky if you don’t follow their instructions, even when you aren’t doing anything wrong.”

“And what if I cross ‘normal’ people?” I asked.

“You can film them, but we must hide their faces when we put it on the net and alter their voices if they say anything. We can only show them uncensored when they agree to be shown online. So, you can ask them if they allow you to put the video on the net during any interaction. If they say ‘yes,’ we don’t need to censor them.”

“And if they say ‘no?’” I asked.

“We can still put it on the net but censored. If we ensure they can’t get recognized in the video, we are legally okay,” Patrick explained.

“How do you know this?” John wanted to know.

He smiled at us while looking at Nicole, “I asked her boyfriend about it.”

“You’re already using his services?” Nicole asked.

“He was very generous to us,” Patrick said. “I had asked him a few questions for which I needed quick answers. Those will be charged, but only the minimum charge. However, we then talked for, I think, two hours about all kinds of things he thought we needed to know, and he did that free of charge. You have found a perfect guy, I think.”

“Yeah, he is very ... umm ... cool,” Nicole said.

“Anything else I need to know?” I asked Patrick.

“Not really,” Patrick said. “You are well protected by this Jane’s Law. If you get caught by the police, just comply with them and do everything they say. Although, do try to mention that you are protected by this law. Most police will need to look it up, Largo thought because this law is very obscure. Eventually, when they know this law and that you are registered as a ‘true submissive,’ they will need to let you go or face the consequences themselves.”

“Can they be punished for holding me?” I asked, surprised.

“For sure. The police can’t arrest or hold someone incarcerated without proper cause. And if you tell the police that someone told you to do the things they are holding you for, they will need to let you go, except when it’s something extreme, of course. If you harmed someone, stole something, or did anything else that they think you shouldn’t be doing, even in your condition, you probably will need to contact Largo so he can come and see what he can do to get you free. But anything minor, like running around naked or even having sex in public. You won’t get punished for it. The guy or girl having sex with you, though, they can get prosecuted because they aren’t protected by that law.”

“I see,” I responded. It was mostly the things I already knew, but getting them confirmed again was lovely. It’s also good to know that others could get into trouble even when they are with me.

By now, we were done eating, and Linda and Claudia were starting to clear the table; I wanted to get up to help them, but then Nicole said, “Anita, do you have a minute for me?”

“Sure,” I told her.

“Let’s go downstairs,” she told me.

Nicole and I were seated on the sofa in the cellar office.

“I’m not going to take up too much of your time,” Nicole said, “But I just wanted to catch up with you. I wanted to hear if you noticed some changes to your body since I put that cream on it.”

“Beside from the obvious ones?” I asked.

“No, try to tell me all the changes you noticed,” Nicole said while picking up a clipboard from a nearby table.

I thought about it momentarily and started, “Well, my skin feels much softer and smoother. Umm ... I also think my skin has gotten ... firmer if that’s the right word. Like with my breasts, they look firmer but still the same size. Remember the pencil test?”

“Yes, I do,” Nicole said, marking something on the clipboard.

“And, let’s see. Oh, yeah! Luckily, I don’t have a single hair left on my body except those on my head!”

“Yeah, luckily,” Nicole giggled and marked another thing.

“What else?” I wondered. “Oh, yeah. I don’t know if this has something to do with it, but,” I pushed my pelvis a little forward, “My clit seems to swell up whenever I’m horny, which looks like I am the whole time. If you look closely, you will notice that even my clitoral hood is almost completely gone when my clit is like this.”
