Over the months that followed our week at the resort and our adventure with Jason and Audrey, Jennifer continued to introduce me to her two favourite pastimes, nudism and swinging.
We had 'played' with several other couples and even attended a few group activities. We had also attended a lot of naturist activities from hiking with groups to cocktail parties and simple backyard barbecues. I won't try to tell you that the variety of sexual experiences and simply being clothes-free was not exhilarating, but I also met a lot of people during that time that I now considered to be close friends decades later.
Jennifer and I, however, ended up going our separate ways. It was amicable and very understandable on her part. The company that she was working for had experienced unprecedented growth and they were opening new branches and regional offices. As a long time employee who knew the internal mechanisations of the company fairly well, she was asked to join the team to establish their first overseas presence. It was an opportunity of a lifetime and I wished her nothing but success.
About a month or so after Jennifer had left the country, I was at the supermarket minding my own business in the fruit and vegetable section when I heard my name called. I looked around to see Sally advancing towards me waving enthusiastically. I had been introduced to Sally and Phil by Jennifer a year or so ago when they attended a clothed event that Jennifer took me to.
Jennifer told me that Sally and Phil were nudists. I personally had only interacted with them at that party and then somewhat briefly, but they seemed like nice people. They were a fair bit older than I was with adult children who had long since moved out of the family home and started lives of their own.
"I thought it was you Ben. How are you?" she asked.
"I'm fine thanks Sally, how are you?" I responded politely.
"Oh, I'm flat out doing some last minute shopping for tomorrow's little get together." she said.
"It's a shame about Jennifer. You two were a cute couple." she continued barely taking a breath.
"Thank you, but the opportunity was just too good for her to pass up, so she went onward and upward with my full support." I said.
"You should come tomorrow. There will be some lovely young ladies there. You never know, you may get lucky." Sally said giving me a wink.
"Thank you, that would be wonderful. Can I bring anything?" I responded.
"Just your birthday suite honey, this event is 'clothing optional'." she replied.
"What's the address?" I asked.
"You know when you head out past the post office on the old road that leads towards the dam?" she asked.
"Yes." I said.
"Well keep going until just before the turn-off to the dam and turn right at the intersection. We're at the end of that road. We are the only property on that road, you can't miss it. How does eleven-ish sound?". She asked.
"Sounds wonderful, I'll see you at eleven tomorrow.
She gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and said "See ya then."
With that she pushed her trolley off towards the snack foods isle.
The rest of my day was fairly uneventful. After getting home from the supermarket, I spoke to my mother on the phone for a while, she said that my sister had introduced her new boyfriend to her and that he was very gentlemanly. I went over to a friend's house to help her move some furniture around. After the heavy lifting we found ourselves looking at old photo albums for the rest of the afternoon. When she realised how late it was, she cooked us some dinner and we talked a while longer before I went home for the evening.
After all of that hard labour moving furniture plus a somewhat generous meal, I was rather tired and went to sleep without too much trouble. I awoke quite late, had a shower and some breakfast and it was pretty much time to get dressed and head out to Sally and Phil's.
I stopped briefly to fill my tank with fuel before getting under way. Not concentrating, I missed the turn-off to the house, so I needed to do a u-turn and try again from the other direction. As I started to turn off onto the narrow side road, I had to break sharply to avoid a taxi that came barrelling along without concern for their fellow motorists. The taxi hardly slowed down as it took the corner and sped off.
The rest of my journey was uneventful and I arrived at about 10:55. There was already a large number of cars parked to the side of the driveway and on the front lawn so I just picked the next available spot on the lawn and parked there.
As I exited my car, a group of about eight naked children rounded the far corner of the house at full clip. Three older ones had water pistols and were chasing the younger ones who were squealing with glee as they ran past me not paying much attention to anything else. I waited for the three pistol wielding kids to pass and then I headed for the front door.
The front door was open so I walked inside.
"Hello?" I called tentatively walking in a little further.
"We're in the kitchen. Just follow my voice." came the response.
I navigated my way along a short corridor to the kitchen where I found five women and a few girls and boys standing around completely naked. One of them turned around and smiled in recognition.
"Ben! I'm so glad that you could join us." said Sally closing the gap between us to give me a kiss on the cheek.
Sally was not a young woman, in fact she and Phil were by far the eldest couple present on that day. Four children and a life in the sun had left their mark on Sally, but she wore those marks with pride. Her breasts were sagging somewhat and her belly adorned with stretch marks. Her pubic hair was a mottled combination of white and grey. In spite of these physical characteristics, she was vibrant, full of life and a joy to be around.
"Here, this is for you." I said offering her a bottle.
"Why, thank you. But I told you that you did not have to do that." she said in fake chastisement.
Sally turned back to address the remaining four women. "Ladies, this is Ben."
I waived, nodded my head slightly and said "Ladies!".
"Ben, that's Sandra, Cathy, Lisa and Margaret." she said pointing to each of the women in turn. Cathy's belly made it rather obvious that she was expecting, potentially twin elephants by the look of it.
"Pleased to meet you." I said.
"Phil's out on the terrace with the barbecue, but you should probably get yourself out of those clothes first." she said.
"Go back to the front door and down the hallway to the right. You can leave your clothes in the first room on the left. If you did not bring any sunscreen, there is some by the back door." she concluded.
I followed Sally's directions and just as I reached the first room on the left, a group of naked children raced towards me laughing and brandishing inflatable pool toys over their heads causing me to duck slightly just as I turned into the room.
Upon entering to room I headbutted the arm of the woman that was already in there disrobing. The mystery woman was naked from the waist down and was trying to unhook her bra. She stumbled slightly to one side before steadying herself against a cupboard. As I straightened up to apologise I caught a glimpse of her rainbow coloured toenails.
Standing fully upright now I saw a familiar face that I know just had to match those toenails. She was still a little miffed at my unconventional entrance, but once she saw my face too, her whole demeanour changed.
"Ben?" she asked.
"Yes, Audrey sorry about that. Is your arm OK?" I said.
She reached behind her back, unhooked her bra releasing those spectacular breasts of hers. She leaned over and dropped her bra on the bed with the rest of her clothes. She then proceed to do a few mock biceps curls examining her arm as she did so and said, "It seems fine to me."
"I had to take evasive action when I saw the kids running down the hallway." I offered by way of an explanation.
"Yes, I heard them. They are a little bit raucous, but kids will be kids." she said.
We stood in awkward silence for a second or two before Audrey asked, "Are you just going to stand there fully clothed all day?"
"Oh, of course not." I said starting to take my shirt off.
"It's good to see you again. Where's Jennifer?" Audrey asked as I was removing my shorts.
"Oh, Jennifer and I have gone our separate ways." I said starting to remove my jocks.
"That's too bad, you two seemed like a nice couple." she said watching me remove the last of my clothing.
"The breakup wasn't acrimonious. She was presented with an overseas career opportunity that she could just not pass up. It was a shame, but I understood and supported her decision." I said placing my jocks on top of the little pile with my shirt and shorts.
"What about you and Jason? How are you guys going?" I asked extending my arm toward the door in a 'ladies first' gesture.
"Oh, I ditched him a few months after we met you and Jennifer at the resort." she said as she headed for the door before stopping and turning to me.
"Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the night that we had with you and Jennifer. I also enjoyed getting to have sex with other couples, it just seemed like the swinging was the only aspect of our relationship that Jason ever cared about. It was sort of like he was not actually into me and he was just using me as bait for the guy in the other couple." she concluded before exiting the room.
I followed her out of the door and said, "That seems a bit creepy. I didn't know the guy all that well, but I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you."
"You live and learn I guess." she replied.
