"I'm going to get you back, you know," Tania told her.
"Yeah, wotcha gonna do?" Louisa continued to tease. She leant over and kissed Tania on the neck.
Tania turned and Louisa gave her another kiss on the lips to try and placate her, but then decided to taunt her all the same. "See? You can't think of anything."
Rebecca and Trisha laughed. "I remember Louisa's tricks from when she still lived here," Trisha said. "I never did get you back for that bag of flour over my door in student halls. I almost made papier-mâché when I got in the shower!"
Louisa laughed and put her hand over her mouth. "Oh yeah! I'd forgotten about that."
"And you tucked my skirt into the back of my knickers once!" Rebecca said, pointing a finger at her, "I was walking around for twenty minutes before anyone told me!"
Louisa just shrugged. "Some girls like to have fun, you know?" she said with a smile.
For Tania, the memory of her cringing dance performance was fading in her mind and a twinkle appeared in her eye.
"Maybe someone with no underwear shouldn't be causing so much trouble, huh?" She rested one hand on Louisa's thigh and then started to slide it up her leg. Louisa slapped her own hand on top of Tania's to stop it in its tracks. She slid off Tania's lap and into the space next to Rebecca.
"You know, between us, I reckon we can probably hold her down," Rebecca said, holding onto one wrist and, quickly, Tania wrapped a hand around the other.
"And she's ticklish, isnt' she?" Rebecca asked Tania with a glint in her eye.
Tania grinned. "Very!"
"No!" shrieked Louisa, but it was too late. The women on either side were too strong for her and started to tickle her midriff. She squirmed and kicked in the seat, panting and giggling. She felt the dress riding up her thighs, but she couldn't control her movements enough to stop it. Trisha looked on enviously, jealous of the attention that Rebecca was paying to Louisa.
The tickling stopped and Louisa, struggling for breath, sank further onto the seat, and then realised she was just pushing her crotch towards the table. She tried to pull herself up straight but Rebecca and Tania were still holding her arms and she wasn't able to cover herself fully.
Rebecca looked down at Louisa's swollen mound. "It looks like someone's enjoying this," she said with a laugh and then, turning to Tania, "Do you think she's had enough punishment?"
"Hmmm…" Tania pondered.
"No, no, no, no!" Louisa protested, but began giggling again. Rebecca took it as an invitation to tickle her thigh. Louisa's legs clamped together and she squirmed again in the seat, the dress bunching up around her waist.
"Look at you, you floozy," Tania teased, and then released her partner's wrist. Rebecca took it as a signal to do the same and then turned to Trisha, giving her thigh a rub with her other hand as if to say "it's just a game, we'll have our fun later". Trisha was still jealous, but she knew it was just play.
Louisa quickly pushed her dress down as far as it would go. A few people from across the room were looking over at their antics, but she thought she was probably covered by the edge of the table.
"You know, you're very mean," she said to Tania, but she smiled as she said it. Tania grinned and leant over to give Louisa a long, tender kiss. She let her hand run up Louisa's thigh again, but this time outside the dress. Rebecca looked on with a hint of jealousy; jealous at the intimate moment they were sharing.
"Okay, we're even now," Louisa told Tania.
"Oh no," Tania replied with a wicked smile, "Not even halfway there." Puzzlement grew on Louisa's face.
Tania reached towards the table and picked up her purse. Looking through it she pulled out the piece of paper she'd placed there earlier and gave it to Louisa. Louisa read it.
"Oh, you wouldn't dare!" she said to Tania. Tania just shrugged.
"What is it? Another promise?" Rebecca asked. Tania nodded.
"I mean," Tania said, "It seems only fair that if Louisa's going to redeem a promise then I should do the same, no?"
"Oh, absolutely fair," Rebecca said, eager to see what was coming.
"And?..." Trisha said, feeling slightly left out sitting at the end of the table.
Louisa looked at Tania. Tania raised her eyebrows to indicate "go on: read it".
Louisa took a deep breath, and then she giggled as she read. "I, Louisa McCarthy, promise to give the bearer, on demand, one sundress."
Trisha put her hand over her mouth and laughed. "Oh dear," she said. "I hope you have a spare dress in that purse of yours."
Rebecca joined in the laughter.
"Yeah, well, that's just silly," said Louisa and, draping her arms around Tania's neck she looked into her eyes. "I promise, as soon as we get home," she said with a smile.
Tania wrapped her arms around Louisa and placed her hands on her shoulder blades. She leant her head towards Louisa's and then gently blew in her ear. It had the same effect as when Louisa did it to her and Louisa's eyes closed momentarily.
"That's far too late," she whispered and, with Louisa distracted, she carefully unfastened the top button of the dress.
Rebecca's eyes nearly popped out of her head and she exchanged a look with Trisha. "Is she really going to do this?" her eyebrows were saying.
"I think she might be," the curl on Trisha's lips replied.
Louisa giggled and tried to push Tania's arms off of her and held the dress tight against her chest. "Don't be silly!" she told her.
Tania smirked. "Do we have to tickle you again?"
Louisa started to curl up into a ball and giggled even more. "No! No! No tickling." She was almost hysterical with laughter just at the thought of it.
While Louisa was distracted Tania reached down and unfastened one of the bottom buttons.
"Let's start at the other end, then," she said.
Louisa giggled again and clamped her free hand on the bottom of her dress. Tania was just being silly, and Louisa was enjoying it. This was even more fun as it was definitely not like Tania at all, who usually shied from public affection. One thing was for sure: they were going to have the most amazing sex later on.
"Now come on," Tania said with a smile and she started to pull Louisa's hand away from her chest so she could reach another button.
Louisa let out a shriek with a laugh, curled her legs up and clasped her hands to the top and bottom of her dress. She sat firmly back against the seat, knees tucked up in a protective ball.
"'Don't make promises you don't intend to keep,' I think you said?" Tania reminded her with a raised eyebrow. Louisa continued to giggle and turned to Rebecca for support.
"You see what I have to put up with?" Louisa said to Rebecca, her eyes dancing.
Rebecca shrugged and then looked at Tania. She wanted to see where this would go. "Well, a deal's a deal…" she said as she looked back at Louisa, "And you wouldn't let Tania out of her promise, so…" As she tailed off she tilted her head in a gesture of "it's out of my hands". Louisa just giggled again but stayed curled up in a protective ball, eyeing Tania suspiciously.
"Okay, okay," said Tania, laughing, much to Louisa's relief and then sitting back in her seat as if she'd given up. Louisa relaxed with her hands by her side and Rebecca's eye was caught by the flap of fabric where the top of the dress was still undone, and the wonderful, smooth skin it exposed. Tania took Louisa's hand in hers and squeezed it. Louisa smiled at her.
Tania looked over at Rebecca and, instantly, Rebecca knew what was expected of her and she took Louisa's other hand in hers. They both held tight as Louisa tried to pull her hands away, realising that they had her again.
"No! No! Not more tickling!" she giggled.
But instead Tania reached across with her free hand and unfastened the next button at the top of Louisa's sundress.
"Okay. No tickling. Just buttons," Tania said, her eyes dancing.
"No, no, no, nooo!" protested Louisa, but she was still laughing. Trisha was transfixed as Tania fumbled with first one button, and then the next. Louisa tried
to struggle as she laughed but Rebecca and Tania's grips on each hand were too strong for her.
The dress kept its shape over Louisa's chest but, with each button that Tania unfastened, Trisha could see a wider stretch of silky smooth skin down Louisa's front. Louisa was still laughing but her struggling had stopped as she realised that, apart from the futility of it, if she wriggled too much then the dress was likely to become dislodged from her shoulders.
Tania was concentrating on each button after the other. The sundress was undone down to Louisa's belly button; only three more buttons remained. Tania gave Rebecca a satisfied look.
Trisha wasn't sure whether she should be helping Louisa. It didn't seem fair, but then Louisa didn't seem to be complaining as much as she might.
Louisa looked down, panting with excitement, laughter, and some fear as Tania unhooked the next button, and then the second to last button. The soft cotton was hanging by its shoulder straps and formed rolling folds over Louisa's breasts, hanging down to rest on the top of her thighs. The single button just about held it shut. Rebecca looked down and realised she could see right between Louisa's legs and, again, she saw that she was enjoying the experience, despite her protestations.
Louisa looked at Tania, her chest moving up and down rapidly. "Okay, now do me back up," she insisted, hoping.
Her hands were still held fast and Tania leant towards her and kissed her on the lips.
"Oh, I think you're fine like this, don't you Rebecca?"
Rebecca looked at her. "Oh, I agree entirely. Don't you Trisha?"
Trisha nodded with a wry smile. She was getting turned on too.
"Fine!" Louisa said. She was still unable to move her arms and unwilling to move anything else lest she disturbed the folds of cotton that were barely covering her.
Tania reached her hand over and slid it into the dress to cup Louisa's breast. "Oooh, look what I've found!" she said with a laugh. Louisa's eyes rolled in her head and Tania felt a hard nipple against her palm. That was a good sign.
Tania took her hand out and placed it on Louisa's knee. Half of her hand was on bare skin and half on soft cotton. "C'mon, gimme a kiss," she told Louisa. Louisa turned and poked her tongue out at her partner, laughing again. How long were they going to keep her like this?
Louisa looked around the pub. Surprisingly, no-one was paying them much attention. From a distance she supposed nothing looked untoward. She was just sitting there with her arms by her side and, maybe if someone looked carefully, they might see her dress was flapping a touch at the top.
Tania noticed Louisa looking around and slid her hand up Louisa's thigh, rubbing her hand and the dress against her skin as she went. Louisa looked down, unsure what Tania was doing but enjoying the sensation. Then, she watched in shock as Tania unfastened the last of the buttons and slipped her hand inside the dress. It slid sideways down Louisa's thigh. Even Trisha, from where she was sitting, could now see bare skin all down one side. Her eyes went wide. The top half of the dress was still hooked over Louisa's nipple and her breast was covered.
"Oh, don't you dare," Louisa snapped at her girlfriend. Even from a distance something might look a bit odd now as the dress was open a good four or five inches, all the way down. But Tania's hand kept moving up her thigh, over her waist and, as it moved upwards, she pushed the dress apart. Trisha and Rebecca stared at the beautiful, rounded breast and the perfect circular nipple. Tania's palm slid then towards her and cupped the other breast, and pulling the dress open as she did so. Louisa tried to pull her hands up to cover herself but Rebecca and Tania held her fast.
Tania was committed now as she wrapped her fingers around the nearest shoulder strap and pulled it down Louisa's arm. Rebecca thought about helping on her side but wasn't sure what Louisa, or Trisha for that matter, might think of it. She was okay with being a passive assistant, just holding one arm, but didn't want to go any further.
With Louisa staring at her the whole time, Tania reached over and pushed the other strap off of Louisa's shoulder. The dress slid easily down her arms and Rebecca felt it fall onto her hand where she was holding Louisa's wrist.
Louisa trembled as she looked around the room. People were paying attention now. Tania and Rebecca let go of her hands and she clamped them over her breasts. She sat there, naked, arms across her chest and the unbuttoned dress bunched up behind her back.
"I can't believe you just did that!" she hissed at Tania.
"Oh, don't be mad," Tania teased, "And if you'd just followed up on your promise in the first place then it would have been so much easier, don't you think?" Tania grabbed hold of the fabric behind her partner and pulled at it.
"I'll take that now, thank you very much!" She grinned at Louisa. "And besides, I'm not sure you actually gave me the dress, since we had to take it from you, so, technically, you haven't even fulfilled the promise. What do you think, Rebecca?"
"Oh, I'm staying out of this!" Rebecca wisely replied.
Louisa was feeling much less confident now. It was one thing being an exhibitionist by dancing around in a short dress, but another entirely to be sitting there naked. She'd never thought Tania would go through with this, not even right at the end when every button was undone. Even then, she thought Tania would back down and call an end to the joke. Her face started to redden and Trisha and Rebecca both started to feel bad for either not helping or for helping too much.
"Well," Rebecca said, "Shall I get another drink in." Trisha laughed, as much for a release as anything.
"I don't know," said Tania, "Isn't it Louisa's round?"
She received a hard stare in reply.
"Oh no," Tania continued, "Louisa got the last one. Shame." She looked down at Louisa's bare legs. She wasn't sure how mad Louisa really was now. She'd seemed to be going along with it for a while. Maybe she'd gone too far after all.
"I think it's my round," Trisha said, and she stood and walked over to the bar.
Louisa looked around. People were spending most of their time looking over at her, but no-one dared to approach. She could tell that Trisha was being quizzed about what was going on.
Rebecca felt suddenly uncomfortable, not because she was sitting next to a naked woman, but because of the silence that had fallen between Louisa and Tania.
"Well," she said, "I think, maybe, we should all get in touch with our naturist side from time-to-time." The joke didn't do much to help the mood.
Louisa remained staring ahead for a second and then, without warning, a snigger erupted from her.
"You!" she said turning to Rebecca, "I'm not talking to you." But Rebecca could see a sparkle in her eyes.
Trisha returned with the tray of drinks. "You'll never guess what," she said, "But there's a bunch of guys over there who'd really like to meet you." She smiled. "I told them where they could go."
"And you too!" Louisa said, summoning as stern a manner as she was able. "I'm not talking to you either! You could have helped!"
"Yeah…" Trisha said thoughtfully, "I did see Tania was struggling with the buttons and I thought about helping."
Rebecca laughed and Louisa snorted with restrained laughter again.
"And you!" she said, turning to Tania, "Get a piece of paper and a pen." Tania did as she told. "Now, write: I, Tania Woodrow, promise to strip at a future date to be determined. And sign it." Tania wrote with more than a little reluctance, but she was starting to feel bad now that the initial excitement had passed. "And put it in my purse," Louisa instructed. Tania was relieved that Louisa wasn't going to call that debt in right away. Despite what she'd just done, she didn't think Louisa would do the same to her in any circumstances.
"You know," Tania said to Trisha, "This all came about because she's always borrowing my clothes and never giving them back."
"Well, this is one way to solve that problem, I guess," was Trisha's reply, "Just don't wear any clothes." She shrugged at Louisa.
"Yeah," Tania continued, "I was thinking, maybe, Louisa could just do without
clothes all the time? What do you think?" Louisa felt a tingle run through her. Tania wasn't one for public flirting like this and it was kind of a turn-on. That, and being naked next to her.
"Oh, I think it's a great idea," Rebecca said, "I mean, she does wear it well." She turned to Trisha. "Perhaps it's something we could try too, eh Trish?"
"Not a chance," was Trish's reply. They all knew who would still be wearing the trousers in that relationship, although Trisha had to admit inside that, maybe privately, given the right push, it would be fun to strip for her girlfriend. Maybe she would engineer something.
Rebecca looked across at Louisa's hands clamped over her breasts. "It's just a shame you have to sit there looking so grumpy with your arms crossed," she told her friend with a smile. She looked around the room: there were still glances in their direction, but it was already almost commonplace to have a nude woman in their midst. "I mean, no-one's really paying attention any more as it is."
"Fine!" said Louisa emphatically and, uncrossing her arms, she leant forwards and picked up her gin and tonic and took a sip. Tania smiled at Rebecca, but both the other girls had been distracted by Louisa's breasts. Tania's smile widened further and she slipped an arm around Louisa's back and ran another down her thigh as she whispered in her ear.
"I'll make it up to you later, I promise," she said and then she gave a gentle blow in her ear. Louisa felt a tremor run through her and realised that, now she was more relaxed, she was getting turned on again. She couldn't wait to get back home: Tania owed her big time.
Rebecca exchanged a glance with Trisha. They were both feeling the sexual energy growing too.
"So, Louisa?" Rebecca said, "When do you think you'll cash in that IOU Tania's just written you."
Louisa turned around to look at Tania, and then back at Rebecca. "Oh, I don't know. I'll pick my time. We're going to a concert in a couple of weeks, so there's that. Or maybe tomorrow when Tania takes me to the station." Tania swallowed hard. She had a thought that, maybe, she really was going to pay for this. "Or we're going round to see Tania's parents in a few weeks." She received a slap on the thigh from Tania and all four girls laughed.
