Judith and Hetty reached the castle, both considerably confused at what had taken place in the hours before and happy to be back in their home. As it turned out, their father was now entertaining guests, which given their place was an extremely rare occurrence. Judith had no sooner than stepped onto shore than a young man, probably only a few years older than she, was coming out of the door way, along with her father and another young woman who had strikingly red hair. She was a rather skinny thing, Judith thought to herself at first glance, all except for her large bust. Judith smiled politely at the young woman, but thought to herself how improper it was of her to have such a revealing dress, which was not only tight on the young woman but left a considerable amount of cleavage exposed. The young woman smiled back at her politely, though Judith sensed that she knew Judith's thoughts. Judith didn't care, however, as she figured it was unlikely that she would ever see her again.
"Judith, Hetty," their father said. "These are your cousins, Henry and Mara. They are going to be staying with us for a few weeks. You need to treat them as family."
"Of course, Papa," Hetty said, who was much more friendly than Judith was, at least with her personal feelings. Hetty bid the two to follow, and they all went in to sit in the open room. Mara hung back though, waiting for the others to go in before turning to face Judith.
"I think, if I'm not mistaken, that there is some animosity towards me, cousin?" she said to Judith, looking up into the tall blonde's dark brown eyes. Judith looked at her silently.
"I hope you will not judge me by my outward appearances, my dear, but will wait to see how useful I can be..." Mara said mysteriously. She turned and went inside, leaving behind a mystified Judith. All went fine the rest of the afternoon, as many things were discussed ranging from how the home was constructed to the latest political happenings of the local civilized government. Judith tried as well as she could to learn about Henry, but she picked up very little. It was not until that evening that anything note worthy took place.
It was clear that the most proper way for accommodations was for Henry to stay in with the master of the house, while Mara stayed with Judith and Hetty. After many hours of discussion, Judith was feeling ashamed of her initial treatment of her cousin, her whorish dress not withstanding. Trying to make up for it, she offered for Mara to sleep with her in her bed.
"I hope you would stay with me in my bed, cousin. I do want to make you feel welcome."
"I would be honored to do so," Mara said happily, giving Judith a perky little smile. The three women then began to dress for bed.
As was their custom and being used to colder climates, Judith and Hetty put on heavier pajamas despite the fact that it was actually fairly warm that evening. Mara however was used to much warmer temperatures, and therefore changed into what seemed to the sisters as practically nothing. Wearing a slip that came just barely to her upper thighs and concealed little of her bulging breasts, she sat on the bed coming her long straight hair, not realizing the attention she was getting from the other two.
"You wear that to bed?" Hetty asked astonished in her own ignorant manner.
"Hetty!" Judith exclaimed, not wanting to offend Mara.
"Oh, I'm sorry, is this ok?" Mara asked, putting one hand on her chest innocently.
"That is just fine," Judith said. "You can wear what you want, whatever makes you feel comfortable."
"Oh, honey, I wish I could wear what I would feel comfortable in..." Mara said, trailing off.
"Well why don't you?" Hetty asked, perplexed by Mara's words.
"Well, I wouldn't want to offend you fine young ladies, now would I?" Mara said slyly.
"We are very open people," Judith said. "Really, if you are uncomfortable, please do what you like."
"Well you don't have to tell me twice," Mara said, and with out any hesitation she put down her brush and put her hands on her shoulders. Taking the strings that held on her slip, she pulled them off her shoulders, letting the whole thing fall down into her lap, revealing her quite large breasts. Both Hetty and Judith gasped audibly, not only at their cousins imposition but also at the size of them and her unusual nipples. They were quite large, at least an inch and a half in diameter.
"Your nipple!" Hetty said without thinking. Judith turned a bright shade of red, but Mara just laughed.
"Yes, I always thought they seemed a little large, though I don't exactly get to compare them to anyone else's very often."
"No, I suppose not," Judith said, just then pulling her eyes back up to Mara's face.
"So, you see, I typically sleep in the nude, when I am in my own home. As I am not in anything resembling my home, I realize that I ought to do differently." Judith was quiet for a moment before speaking, feeling the annoyance with her cousin peaking back and not wanting to be out done.
"I should think you could feel as comfortable here as in your home, Mara, so if you want to sleep in the nude I shouldn't want to stop you."
"Judith, you are to kind," Mara said in a voice that seemed to contradict this opinion. "You are, after all, sharing your bed."
"Please, I insist," Judith said, growing more annoyed. With an impulse to be the most kind, Judith said before thinking, "In fact, I think I will join you." Mara raised her eyebrows, clearly not expecting this.
"Judith? You're going to sleep naked?"
