Another quickie I wrote. Softcore mostly, with hints of incest. All participants over the age of 21. As usual in my work, it borders absurdity. Encouraging words and constructive criticism always welcome!

"Billy, you've got to imagine your audience naked. It's what helped me overcome my stage fright. I swear it works."
Billy's sister, Becky, was trying to calm his nerves. She and her two best friends, Casey and Penny, were hanging out at the siblings' apartment, as usual. Billy had been trying to prepare for a speech for his Economics class. The girls were supposedly trying to help.
"Billy, you can do this. You think I'm joking, but I'm not."
"The last time I got up in front of class, I was sweating bullets, my voice cracked and I didn't even finish. I got a C minus."
"Jesus, it's that bad?" asked Casey.
"It's stupid, but nobody likes me and I get nervous in front of people."
"Aww, come on, you're cool with us," said Penny.
"That's because you've been hanging around my sister ever since we started college. Two years and you're both here practically every night."
"And you love us anyway, right?" laughed Penny, raising her arms in the air, the action lifting her heavy top. She was the flirt of the bunch and always wore blouses that accentuated her curves. She didn't mind flaunting her figure and teasing those around her. She did it often.
"So what? You're a geek," said Becky. "It's college. You'll do fine. Just take my tips. Sure as shit solved the same problem I had. By the way, it was Professor Lilly who taught me the technique."
Miriam Lilly was a well-respected English professor and one of the bright stars at our university. She'd written two books on the subject of American Literature and often traveled, speaking around the world on the subject. To have gotten personal advice about speaking from her was probably worth noting.
"I don't get it. Why should I imagine the audience naked? That will only make me nervous."
"Exactly the opposite, brother. It will calm your nerves. If the audience is naked in your mind, you can do anything. That was the reasoning that got me through it."
"I don't think my imagination is that good, anyway."
Casey and Penny laughed loudly now. "I bet you've imagined us that way!" cried Penny.
"Hey, that's unfair," said Becky. "Leave my bro alone. He may be weird at times, with his obsession over science fiction and cult movies, but he's never been a creep to you. I'd kick his as if he were."
Becky and her brother got along great and they always had each others' backs. On many occasions, Billy had helped his sister and her friends with their class work. Becky was right. He was a bit socially awkward, but Billy was no creep.
"Go ahead, Billy, practice on us," said Casey. "Do your speech. I give you permission to imagine me naked."
Billy had been honest about never harboring inappropriate thoughts. Of course, he certainly wouldn't mind seeing them naked, but he was simply programmed to be respectful to his sister's friends, as he'd been taught growing up. Ever since the two girls became regular visitors, they would sometimes tease him, though he never took any flirting seriously. He knew better. Casey had a boyfriend, and Penny was way out of his league. She did flash her cleavage to him once, and that was quite a sight.
"Aw, come on, I am not going to do that to you. I couldn't even if I wanted to. I told you. I'm afraid I don't have as strong an imagination as my sister."
"Hey," said Casey. "I have an idea."
"What's that?" asked Becky.
"Remember how well Billy responded when he was at that hypnosis show we went to last year?"
Billy certainly remembered. It was the perhaps the only time in his life that he hadn't been shy, and felt completely comfortable in front of people. As he recalled, he had made an ass of himself at that show.
"What about it?" asked Becky.
"Well, we've been learning how hypnosis works in my Advanced Psych class. It's pretty simple, actually. Since we know Billy responds well to it, let me hypnotize him. I'll plant the suggestion that he'll be able to imagine others naked with ease, and he will be more calm and collected when doing so. I mean, why not see if we can cure his stage fright with your suggestion?"
"That sounds cool!" shouted Penny. "Will he really see us naked in his mind like at that show? The hypnotist did that as a skit, remember?"
"Yeah, I remember," said Billy.
The hypnotist had planted the suggestion that each volunteer could each see the person sitting next to them naked. The guy sitting next to Billy at the time was middle-aged and overweight, and while Billy clearly thought he was looking at a naked man, he wasn't thrilled about it. The audience ate up Billy's reactions to the hypnotic skit.
Billy conceded, "Well, the hypnosis did work well then, and I was pretty confident that night, after the hypnotist got us to relax. I dunno... why not? As long as you swear not to try to make me do stupid shit like that hypnotist did."
The girls laughed and swore to keep things simple. Ten minutes later, with no prior practice, Casey was reading from a script, slowly bringing her subject into a deep hypnotic and suggestible state.
"This won't fuck him up, will it?" whispered Becky.
"No, Billy would never do anything against his will, but he will be able to me more confident and creative." Casey spoke slowly and enunciated her words clearly. "Billy, when you wake up, you will feel more relaxed than ever. You will gather your things, go upstairs and rehearse your speech one time. Then, you will come downstairs while imagining your audience completely naked. From the moment you see them, you will recognize you have this gift to see the audience naked. This power will calm you, and give you the confidence you need to perform your speech well."
"This sounds kind of ridiculous," said Penny.
"Shh.. it'll work," said Casey. She repeated the instructions to her "sleeping" subject before finally waking him. "How do you feel? Good?"
"Yeah, that was relaxing actually. I guess I'm easy to hypnotize, huh?"
Casey soothed her subject. "I wouldn't say that. I've learned that almost anyone can learn how to do self-hypnosis, and some people are just really good at it. Meditation and hypnosis has proven effective for lots of people, managing pain, anxiety, stress. No sense not giving it a shot on you. Do you remember everything I said to you?"
"I think so. I think I do. I go practice my speech, come down... uh, you know... and see if I can do better than usual... using my imagination." Billy glared at his sister. "Still don't think it will work."
"That's the gist of it, and it'll work," said Casey, giving Billy a poke on the shoulder. "Get on there."
Billy headed to the stairs.
"Do you think it will work?" asked Becky, turning to the others. "I want Billy to get over his shyness. He's always been nervous around strangers."
"Of course it will work, because we're going to strip." As soon as Billy was out of view, Casey began unbuttoning her blouse.
"What?" Becky practically shouted.
"That's brilliant," said Penny, giggling. "Come on, Becky. This will be the best prank ever! And it's not like any guy wouldn't mind seeing young, attractive women naked."
"I can't believe this whole thing was all just some joke you had in mind," said Becky, crossing her arms. "He's my brother!"
"Which is exactly why it's so hilarious," said Casey, as she dropped her shorts and blouse on the floor. "We'll have to hide our clothes. Anyway, think of it, Becky. Billy would never expect you to be undressed in front of him. When he sees you, as well as us, all naked, he'll believe he really has this gift. It'll be hilarious getting his reaction."
Becky couldn't deny this could make a funny prank, but she wasn't thrilled about stripping nude for her brother to see. She had nice size breasts, nearly a C-cup, but her nipples were off center. Her left nipple pointed up and to the left, and her right was centered, but positioned higher than the one on her left. It was like 'googly eyes' for tits. No boyfriend ever seemed to mind, but she was always nervous about it. Still, she couldn't so easily disappoint her best friends.
"I swear to god, Casey, you're buying next time we go out." Becky began disrobing and added, "Throw your clothes in a pile. I'll hide them behind the couch."
One minute later, all three girls were stark naked, sitting on the couch. Penny, with her oversized mounds, sat in the center, while Casey's trim self sat to the left of her and Becky to the right, nearest the corner.
"I can't believe I'm doing this," said Becky, but before enough time passed for her to change her mind, Billy came trotting down the stairs.
The moment Billy saw the girls, his eyes practically popped out of his head and he inhaled suddenly. Becky saw him mouth the f word, but he quickly regained his composure and rounded the stairs into the living area.
In Billy's mind, he couldn't believe the hypnosis session had worked so well, and that he could so vividly see the girls naked. This was more than he ever thought possible. He truly believed he was able to manifest an image of the girls without a stitch of clothing. At this moment, he didn't feel more relaxed and calm about it; quite the opposite. He also didn't know whether to tell the girls the experiment was working, or just start in on the speech. That answer came to him.
"Well?" said Penny. She arched her shoulders back and sat up straight, her huge melons pointing directly at Billy. He wished he could bury his face between them. "The speech? Are you prepared."
