"Wait! Wait! Wait!" Ian protests, and lifts his arms to signal Ella to not move. "You guys can't leave yet."

"And why not?" Nicholas demands.

"Pictures," Ian reminds him. "You can't go to competition empty handed."

Instantly Nicholas nods. "Oh, yes, of course. But I don't have her harness or collar or anything," he admits.

"I have backups," Ian tells him. "One of you go and get it."

The eight women that gave Ella a full body makeover stand in a straight line by the door. The one closest to the door nods before quickly leaving the room and closing the door quietly behind her.

"You know, Nicholas, you got lucky with this one," Ian says.

"What do you mean?" he asks.

"She has natural beauty," Ian states as he reaches over, grabs Ella's chin, and moves left and right as he observes her. "She won't really need any makeup at all, maybe just light B.B. cream and a little bit of mascara, but nothing else really."

That makes Nicholas smile proudly.

"See Ella, I told you you are a very beautiful girl," Nicholas declares.

Ian looks behind him to Nicholas. "What's the matter with her?"

"Low self-esteem," he replies. "She's not very confident within herself or when she's naked."

"Well being naked in front of people is a little hard," Ian says, and Ella mentally agrees. Taking your clothes off all the time isn't something the average person gets use too. "But you need to get over it sweetheart, because you'll be naked the entire competition, the only thing covering your body will be the harness and just to leave you know, that doesn't cover anything at all."

Ella's jaw clenches at the thought of being naked in front of people. It's worse that having to give a speech and right now, she rather do that.

A minute later, the woman that left comes back with a harness similar to one Nicholas put on Ella the other day. The only difference is that this harness small steel circles connecting the black leather straps together while Nicholas's harness was one complete strap of black leather.

The woman helps Ella inside the harness, pulling it nice and tight like Nicholas did. She also puts on a collar, and a muzzle, which Ella didn't have on last time. It looks like a surgical mask, but it's black and wraps around her entire head, but goes underneath her ears. It even covers Ella's nose, but there's small holes cut out so she can breathe.

Ian fixes Ella hair before telling her to stand next to the wall.

"Try your best to make your body tall," he instructs. "And keep your hands by your side."

Ella does what she's told and Ian has one of the women snap a few photos of her, before having her turn around and then she takes a few photos of her back. When she turns back around, Ella sees Nicholas putting his phone down.

"Good, I'll have these printed off and ready for tomorrow," Ian tells Nicholas. "But for now, I'm going home. I'm exhausted."

You did nothing but talk and walk around, Ella thinks.

"Yes, and Ella must be tired as well," Nicholas suggests, and she quickly nods to confirm. "I must get her home."

The same woman helps Ella out of the harness, collar, muzzle and heels while someone else brings Ella her clothes. She feels great relief when slipping back into her underwear and bra, knowing that her private parts are covered let's the all anxiety vanish away.
