Chapter 126

Dear Ms. Diary,

[Written January 16]

So that I do not forget – Heather’s text: Competition parameters for January 15: Railing against winter; public beach wear, wearable in the hot tub. Competition parameters for January 18: All naughty bits covered but lots of boob (but no pasties).

I woke and quickly remembered last night’s somewhat quiet debauchery with Gracey and Char. When the others woke, we had an emphatic, but quiet discussion started by Char.

“I need to learn more so I can be a full participant in all the goings on in which the gang gets involved. I’m learning about girls, but I need to learn so much more, and, at some point, I’ll need to learn about guys.” She thought briefly, then said, “No, I need to learn about Charlie. Well, and Brett if things go that far.”

I asked, “What did we do to ... release your libido, or have you always been like this?”

“You girls did this to me. I had no clue that ... sex could be this fun, this good! While I thought I’d figured out that you and Rhee were doing things, even though I wanted to be involved, I thought it would simply be ‘nice’ to share some aspect of loving with you. Holy shit, did I ever underestimate reality?!”

Gracey responded, “Hey, Liya and I got into this the same way. You need to understand that Beth and Rhee were very close friends when I met them, so neither Liya nor I picked up that they had added a sexual element to their relationship. We felt that something had changed, but we didn’t know what. They just seemed ... I don’t know. Were they less tentative with each other? We now know, of course, that the sexual tension between them was gone. They were ... even more in tune with each other than they’d been previously. Then, Heather became joined at the hip with them, and it showed in Beth’s and Rhee’s relationship, but, again, we didn’t know why that was. We didn’t learn about the sex until that fateful and wonderful weekend-long sleepover.

“When Liya and I started down this road with them, we had difficulty being specific, saying those various words that are so attached to sex. They’d gotten themselves over that and helped us to surmount the same difficulty. We can now talk without embarrassment about very explicit stuff, and that’s something that you’ll learn. You need not be bashful with us, and you would not believe how powerful someone appears to be by explaining sexual stuff in detail to other girls that may still be like Liya and I were in early summer. You’ve already changed toward being more comfortable with the subject since you first raised sex with us. And you’ve certainly picked up our ideas ... and ideals about sex, with whom and with how many.”

Gracey breathed deeply, then continued with, “I seem to recall this coming up before, but it’s important that we impress upon you that, while we don’t think of ourselves as sluts, some might consider us such. However, we’re not into one-off sex just because someone is sexy or cute or whatever. We seem to consider nearly anyone we love as a friend to also be a friend we love sexually. I don’t know. The two things are nearly intertwined with us. Given how many of our other friends that either began like that – like Brit an Cera – or have come to be like that, like you, we’re a bit confused by how poorly much of society seems to frown on ... group love. It’s got to be more difficult, what with meshing all those individual belief systems, wants, needs, fantasies, but aspects of the group could also make it easier, as there’s less of one person needing just one other person to be exactly, or nearly so, the lover the first person needs.

“Beth and Rhee may be ‘soul mates.’ Gracey and I may be, too, but I’m not at all sure we’re on the same plane as those two. Heather’s ... I don’t know how to say this, but, although she’s particularly devoted to those two, she’s more like a generalist, and I think her childhood played a large part in her being that way because some obvious love is certainly better than no obvious love.

“We’ve also found that we have a ... large capacity to love. For example, while some or all of us have quietly, or not so quietly, been falling in love with Brett for a while, we knew none of the other of the LTG before September. Well, for the soccer girls, before late August, earlier for Katie. Despite our not knowing them before fall, we’ve come to love not only Meka, who seems to us a love magnet, but also Brit and Cera and Kim and Katie. Hope and Rachel have been nearly unknowable, Hope because of her play-acting a role, and Rachel due to the strong introvert aspect of her personality. We’ve seen much more of their true personalities in the past month or so than we saw all fall. I don’t know about the rest of the gang, but I’m coming to really like Rachel and I could easily see myself loving her as a friend. Hope ... I think she’s still struggling to figure out who she really is, other than just a pretty, toned athlete. Katie seems like she’s known who Katie is for a long time. She’s solid, like Meka, but without the horrible grief that is an undertone to everything Meka is. Katie’s also somewhat aloof. At least, we’ve not been able to figure out her sexuality. She may be asexual, but we all love her, nonetheless. We may need to figure out a way to get that conversation started with her.

“Anyway, I got into all that as background for our ... warning ... although the concept I want is not so negative as that, that others may well be added to the seeming horde of girls we love and with whom we have sex regularly or will have sex regularly. Meka is, obviously, chief among those, and Celeste is probably next on the list. We believe that if any of the other soccer seniors ... join us, the highest likelihood is for Kim. Other than Meka, for whom we’ve already professed our love to her, we’re being very cautious with the seniors, so if Kim were to join, it probably will be quite a while before that happens. Does this warning give you pause?”

“Wow, that was a long way around to get to that question!” She smiled at Gracey, then me, and turned back to Gracey and responded, “No, not in general. I’ll need to get to know them a lot better, but I’ve not yet met anyone you girls like that I haven’t liked. You also obviously have similar taste in ... females as I do, as everyone you think is attractive, I also find attractive.”

We heard footsteps on the stairs, so I quickly exited the room to ask whomever (it was Civia) to wait for us to finish a discussion, after which we would join them for breakfast. Civia nodded and retreated. I gave the ‘continue’ hand motion when I had closed the door and returned to the bed.

Char said, “I guess we’re finished, but I will say that I understand the first part of your ... explanation and I take to heart your warning that you might be expanding my ... mind and ... understanding of how ... friends and lovers relate to and with each other. Although unvoiced, I also take to heart my inference from your words to keep my mind open to ... new ... people and new experiences. I do that because I know that my sudden immersion in a ... complete nudist household – not just us girls, but also Dad and various moms, will take some getting used to, particularly given that your family has ... brought the sex out of the bedroom, at least some of it. I assume that I’ll need to become comfortable with one or more of you girls ... fondling me or just physically indicating your love for me ... in the presence of various parents. That will probably be the most difficult aspect for me, but I certainly want you to feel free to express your love, physical or otherwise, to me when you want. I’m nervous about ... our future, but very much looking forward to it. I love you.”

She faced Gracey more directly and added, “I think I’ve loved Beth and Rhee since we were little girls on a soccer team, but I’ve quickly come to realize I love you and Liya and Heather, too. I’m looking forward to learning more about all of you and sharing the love, again, both physical and otherwise, with you.”

We had a fun morning, the seven of us spent it naked and mostly inside, although Heather got Civia to fully understand that no one could see onto the deck from anywhere but the various backyards, especially the portion of the deck immediately adjacent to the house. I mentally marveled at how much more open Civia has become since she began hanging with us, and particularly how she has taken to nudity so thoroughly.

When I asked her about that when we were eating lunch, she replied, “I’ve thought about that a lot. There’s certainly an aspect of freedom, but it feels, I don’t know, more ... elemental to me than just freedom. I’d like it to be more ... universal, I guess, although I’d have trouble being naked in front of my dad, much less Charlie or Brett or, certainly, the various boys at school. However, I was really nervous about that with you girls the first time, and look where I am, now!”

There was much chuckling and smiling ... with Civia beaming at all of us.

Her appearance suddenly saddened, and she explained, “My parents will be here in a half-hour to take me to Baba’s house for the night. It never made me sad to go to Baba’s before I met you girls. I guess that’s the thing about having friends, that you must balance time between family and friends. I’ll be fine once we’re on the way, but while I’m here, having so much fun with my friends, I feel a little sad it’ll soon be over.” She smiled a bit, then added, “But I’m now living so close, that it’ll be much easier to get a Gang fix when I need one. It’s a lot better now than when we were living so far away from my friends.”

We spent a little time finishing lunch and talking, but we soon climbed the stairs, then climbed into clothes to await Jeff and Kalina.

I took a little time to write up this morning while the rest of the girls experienced nude sunbathing on the deck. Although I still have yesterday’s entry to write, I am going out to join them, now.

[Added January 16]

I arrived on the deck as Rhee had just started explaining some of the construction plans.

“ ... and we’re greatly expanding the deck, extending the far part another ten feet.” Rhee stopped to look up at me, smiled that loving smile that rocks my psyche every time, then continued with, “We’ll have what we’re calling a Super Monstrosity in the southeast corner of the expansion, so on nice nights we could sleep out here ... naked. The garage blocks visibility from the west, the J house from the east, and the trees from the south, and we’ll have a tall privacy fence around the entire four-parcel backyard. Our at-home nudity will know few bounds.”

“Wow, that sounds great!” Char looked at me as I joined them lounging on the deck, then said, “Your family’s spending a lot of money on, well, enabling the family.”

I answered, “They are. Mom came to the marriage with quite an inheritance, and they’ve mostly left it alone to earn more money. They’ve never before lived outside that supported by their two salaries. I’m sure once the ... compound is perfectly to their liking, they’ll go back to their relatively frugal ways.”

Before Char could respond, Heather added, “Yeah, and they didn’t tell even Beth about Mom’s inheritance until last fall. Once she told the story, we understood why they had lived like they lived and not told Beth.”

I grabbed the floor and explained a bit more about Mom’s money and how we had gotten the story out of them. I went on to tell everyone the deal I’d made with the parents about nudity and sex, making sure they understood that I had not lied to them, at least of commission, and that I didn’t tell them that we had told Char that Dad was lover to all the Go5.

“I figured that we could work things out once you’re here and they’ve become comfortable enough with you here to mostly return to anything-goes sex. Char, I hope you’ll be okay with us girls occasionally loving on you a bit with a parent or parents in the audience, as we believe that will be the best way to sell adding you fully to the family if that’s what you’re sure you want at the time.”

“Thanks. I like the ... built-in time to become comfortable, myself. I certainly don’t want to ask Charlie to make love with me the day I arrive.”

“Uhh, no. You certainly don’t want to do that,” responded Gracey.

We went out the front door to the street and chatted briefly with Brit’s mom when she dropped Brit and Cera a bit before 5. I explained the reason behind the scaffolding and other stuff on the east wall of the ground floor, although I did not note how wide the extension would be, as the edge of our driveway is within the five feet of the extension.

In the house, Brit said, “You really know how to present information to cause the fewest questions to be asked. Eventually, you know, she’ll see what will actually be done here, but you won’t have lied to her. You’re really quite brilliant!”

I began to duck my head, but Liya cleared her throat, so I kept it up, but Liya added, “We agree with you, Brit. Our Beth can be quite the ... manipulator of information when it suits her, but usually she does such for somewhat loftier purposes and nearly always to benefit more than just herself. Sometimes, we must take her to task for being too self-effacing.”

Brit grinned at Liya, then at me to which I shrugged, then said to her and Cera, “If you want, you can get naked, but we’re going to have dinner here, then go over to the J house. The kitchen is much better here and there are many more food options. The J house kitchen is getting a complete remodel, but that won’t be done until early February.”

Everybody preferred getting naked for the “official” greetings of hugs and kisses, although Char was a bit hesitant with Brit and Cera, and vice-versa. They’d all met the day Char attended classes with us, but that was nowhere near enough time to get to the naked-hugging-and-kissing stage, although they did do the hugs.

After that, Cera exclaimed, “This is the way to live! You girls are so lucky with this, being naked, your parents in different houses.”
