The town pillory was back in action after a century of disuse. The public square was crowded this morning.

Mayor Nguyen announced to the crowd the charges. "This week we feature two new members of the community who have not appeared here before. These two individuals: Lucy Carmichael and Ricky Riccardo are separately being punished for committing the same crime: public masturbation. Ms Carmichael was convicted of public indecency for enjoying herself in plain view of the street. Dr Riccardo was discovered at the Public Library. Please join me in ensuring their public shaming." County Judges had reinstated shaming as a punishment when the local prison was ruled inhumane. The Mayor enjoyed emceeing the event.

And the crowd jeered.

Various fruits and vegetables were projected from the audience, with outbursts of "shame" and "think of the children". Most missed their targets. The Mayor dodged some, and while she didn't escape entirely clean, it was not much damage, and she quickly left the platform and glad-handed the crowd. Tomato splattered across Lucy's forehead. Ricky was covered in leaves of brown lettuce along with tomato juices. He always hated tomato. And after this he hated salad too.

And then the crowd got bored and dissipated. The went to the shops across the street. The Mayor left the square for her next engagement.

The only two left on the platform, Lucy said to Ricky " I didn't do it".

Ricky asked "what?"

She repeated. "I didn't do it. Not what they said. I was in my apartment with the sliding glass door to the balcony open. They sent in a aerial drone and filmed me on my bed and said it was public."

He said "I didn't do it either. Not like they claimed. I was in the library bathroom, doing my business, surfing the internet while in process, and they broke down the door."

"It's totally unfair" he murmured.

"Yeah. And so what if you did. Bathroom time should be sacred. Jerking off is not a crime." She was trying to empathize.

"Well, no. But surfing porn sites on the library Wi-Fi probably is. "

"Tsk-tsk" she wasn't mean about it, "boys will be boys" she thought. Should she follow up and ask: "What were you surfing ". Or would that be too forward. She had seen him before, but there were so many people in this new town. He was a doctor, (well almost, he was an osteopath, ) potentially a good catch, given her current lowered status. Not that she had too much to begin with, as the online social media presence for the local college and a side gig as the shopgirl at the lingerie store. After this he could return to practice, maybe in another town.

And then, her ass felt cooler. She looked, and her skirt had been ripped off from behind . Being trapped in the pillory there wasn't much she could do but scream, and that would only attract more attention. Unfortunately for her, she had left her underwear at home, figuring no need to create more laundry to wash after the inevitable pelting. She hadn't counted on this. They would probably charge her with public nudity. And then her blouse was pulled off from the back, buttons popping from the front. And she was fully exposed. Everyone in town could see her. Every single flaw. From the mole next to her pussy to her too flat for her liking chest.

"Slut" "cunt" "tiny tits" "bitch". All sorts of names were yelled from the masses. Her cheeks reddened, but that is not what anyone else noticed.

Ricky saw this, from an angle since he couldn't move his head much. She was hot, but this was wrong. His instinct was to act like a hero, but not much was to be done in this situation.

"Hey!", he yelled. Which only attracted attention. Which only attracted more as a murmur raised in volume. Shoppers started returning to the square. And they had rearmed. A show was underway.

Someone in the crowd asked why he was still dressed if she was naked. And someone else pantsed him. His slacks fell to the ground. Revealing his sexy red panties and garters. Lucy now remembered where she met him. She thought he had been shopping for a girlfriend.

Catcalls from the crowd.

His shirt was torn off. A red brassiere over his pecs.

More whistles.

"He has her undies" "he has bigger tits than she does".

Then came the pies. One to her ass. One to her face. One to each breast. One to her pussy.

The masses were getting their money's worth.

"Look, he has an erection. ". "He's so hard it's popping through his panties" "The pervert is getting aroused from his own humiliation. ". "If we pie him, will he cum?" "Let's find out. "

They did and he did. Only one pie each to his face and ass. It seems the bakery had run out. That was all, but that was enough. It was the best ejaculation of his life. And the farthest and longest most people had ever seen.

Lucy was shocked, but aroused herself. While her nipples were firm, and thus deeper than her seemingly inadequate breasts themselves, and her pussy moist, that was largely invisible under the pies.

"If he can do that I bet he's good in bed " she thought. She was annoyed with herself for treating him like meat, but not so annoyed she didn't comment. "Wow" she exclaimed. He heard.

Someone got our the hose and sprayed them all down. While still in the pillory, someone else brought towels from the hotel on the next block and dried them off.

Their hour was up. An officer of the court released them from the pillory.

"Would you like to get a drink?" Each asked the other simultaneously. "Jinx, you owe me a vodka".


---

One year later.

She said "I do". And by the powers granted to her by the state, officiant Mayor Winnifred Nguyen pronounced them man and wife.

The audience cheered.

On the same platform in the town square where they had all met, they were now collected for a more joyous occasion.

The formal marriage ceremony led on to the wedding reception. This was an informal affair in the park.

The couple thanked everyone for coming and their gifts. And they gave special thanks to the mayor for officiating, and introducing them. Everyone laughed at that, as the story of how they met was known to all. Most had been in the crowd. The practice was halted soon thereafter. The mayor noted it was the first couple she had introduced.

It was time to cut the cake. As was traditional, the couple got the first slices and fed each other, ironically without making a mess over each other's face.

They saved the third slice for the Mayor. It was exceptionally large. Ricky did the honors of smashing it into her face.

Everyone laughed, the Mayor less enthusiastically than the others, but she was a politician so had to go along. "I guess I deserved that". As she was using both hands to clear her eyes and wipe her face, Lucy pulled down the top of her dress and exposed her breasts. The Mayor instinctively put her cake covered hands on her exposed heaving bosoms.

Everyone laughed, a bit more nervously this time.

Lucy said "I guess you deserved that too. "
