Ben & Audrey.
Audrey and I were in the kitchen one morning. It was still rather early, but late enough for the girls to be out of bed.
"I'm going to give them five more minutes and then I'm going to go in there and wake them up!" Audrey said as she pulled an odd face and adjusted her bra through her shirt.
I grunted as I adjusted my underwear too, "I hate wearing clothes.", I muttered under my breath.
Seemingly out of nowhere, our two daughters materialised in the middle of the kitchen. Both without a thread of clothing on.
Our oldest daughter Hannah was fifteen now and looking more like her mother every day. Our youngest daughter Romana was eight. (Yes, we like Dr Who, but the Tom Baker doctor, to us, he was 'the' doctor). She was a little bit taller than most of her class mates at school. She loved sports, especially swimming.
"Girls," Audrey started admonishingly, "What did we tell you about our house guests arriving?"
"Can't we just eat breakfast like we normally do?" pleaded Romana.
"Yeah, we'll get dressed straight after. We promise," Hannah added for good measure.
Audrey and I glanced at each other briefly before she responded. "OK, but you need to hurry, they will be here within the hour. And remember, shirts, shorts, panties and," she paused looking directly at Hannah, "a bra for you too young lady!"
With a begrudging moan of agreement the girls stomped around the kitchen fixing themselves some cereal, toast and juice.
I was finishing off the last of the dishes in the sink and Audrey was out in the laundry when I was startled to hear the front door bell chime.
I looked at the girls and said, "Off to your rooms and get dressed. Now!"
Romana scurried off as instructed, but Hannah just took her time to finish what she was doing and slowly ambled away.
"Move!" I said giving her a playful poke in the middle of her back as I headed for the front door.
I reached for the handle and opened the door.
"Surprise!" exclaimed my sister.
I looked up to see my sister, naked. She was not wearing a single scrap of clothing apart from a pair of sandals. She had quite the bush and it was obviously a little chilly because her nipples were acting as her own personal inbuilt thermometers.
It's not that I had never seen my sister naked before, I must have seen her naked thousands of times. When we were kids, our mother bathed us together all of the time. We grew up during a period of prolonged drought in our region and we would often bathe together with our mother to conserve water.
As we became older and the water supply returned to a more consistent availability, we started to shower separately. There were always the occasional times when in our haste to get ready for school in the morning, we'd barge in on one another thinking that the bathroom had already been vacated. From those fleeting glimpses, I knew that her breasts were fairly sizable and that her lady's triangle was all present and accounted for. We just didn't spend hours together being naked.
I hope that my eyes did not linger for too long, but I was truly shocked. This was so out of character for her. Whilst I did not consider her to be a prude, she was normally more reserved and seldom this outgoing. As she stood there, I noticed that most of her body, except for the outer extremities, was rather pale. Even the less pale areas were still quite pale by my family's standards.
Wendy, her sizeable creamy coloured breasts and erect nipples bounded forward and gave me a huge hug. Just as Wendy released her death grip on me, Audrey came in from the laundry.
"Wendy, you're here already!" she exclaimed. "And, um, naked!" she added.
"Well," Wendy started, "Richard and I know that you are a clothing optional family and that normally when we come to visit, you cover up for us." For full effect, please note that 'clothing optional' was delivered with 'air quotes'.
Wendy continued, "We had a family meeting before we left home and we decided that seeing as we will be visiting for two whole weeks, it seemed only fair for us to abide by your rules in your home."
"Yes", Richard said as he entered the house shaking my hand, "Although I thought that we would discuss it with you guys first, not just rip off our sun dress on your porch when we arrived."
Moving in further towards Audrey, Richard gave her a peck on each cheek and a quick hug before continuing, "It took some convincing with Daniel, but Nick was up for it right away."
"Hello Boys," I said looking out on the porch, "please come in."
"Hello uncle Ben," beamed Nicolas cheerfully as he hopped over the door threshold.
Daniel emitted something between a grunt and the word 'Hi'. Considering that he was a teenage boy, I'd say that he was fairly articulate.
With the boys now fully into the house, the girls came scurrying in from one of the side rooms fully clothed. The girls had seen lots of naked women in this house during their short lives, so it was not so much an issue of there being A naked women in the house, more an issue of WHO that naked woman was given the context of our very recent conversation.
"Hi aunt Wendy," said Romana giving her aunt a big hug around her midriff.
"Hello Romana," Wendy said bending slightly to return the hug.
"Does this mean we can all get naked now?" Hannah asked as she hugged Wendy, "This bra is killing me!"
Wendy hugged Hannah for a short time and then pushed her back slowly with both hands on her shoulders.
"Let me have a look at you." Wendy said as Hannah reached a full arms length.
"You've grown so much, you're almost catching up to your mother!" she said releasing Hannah.
"Well, what about it? Can we get back to normal around here or not?", demanded Hannah.
"It seems that aunt Wendy and uncle Richard are on board with it," I started.
Audrey looked at Daniel and asked, "Daniel, are you comfortable if we live naked for the next few weeks?"
"Whatever." he grumbled.
"Are you sure?" asked Audrey pushing for clarity.
"Guess so." he mumbled.
"OK, that settles it!" exclaimed Richard, "Welcome to 'La casa nudista' he said, taking off his shirt with a flourish, throwing it straight down on the floor for good measure.
Richard's torso was white. Gleaming white. From his neck to the top of his shorts, white.
"Guys," Audrey started, noticing what I had noticed, "We probably need to have a quick chat about sun protection."
"Boys, are you paying attention?" Richard turned to look at Daniel and Nick pointing vigorously in Audrey's direction.
"There is a small cupboard to the left of the back door. On the middle shelf, there is a collection of standard and waterproof sunscreen bottles as well as some insect repellent." Audrey commenced.
"Boys?" said Richard.
"We're listening aunty Audrey!" said Nick.
"Make sure that you put on sunscreen every time you go outside. OK?" she asked.
Nick nodded eagerly and Daniel just grunted.
"Use the waterproof stuff if you are going to swim in the pool or the creek, but the other stuff is OK for everything else. And remember to reapply every two hours!" Audrey concluded.
"Have you got that boys?" asked Wendy.
