The following evening, Susan, wearing her nightgown under her robe, arrived to, as she said, "baby sit" with Jean. Both women had looked with great anticipation to being together for the night, but still were a bit apprehensive in what was a new situation. Still, the idea of "sleeping together" as opposed to merely sleeping in the same bed, had stimulated them all day. Susan had even gone so far as to wear a very revealing shorty nightgown that she had sworn that she could never wear in front of anyone but Jim. Great minds obviously ran in the same channels, for Jean was similarly, if, oddly enough, somewhat more modesty attired. When Susan removed her robe, Jean gasped, "You're beautiful!" Those words could not have been better selected, and Susan beamed and, very daringly, pirouetted rapidly to show the entire gown. The skirt flared up in a circle, revealing minuscule panties that did more to focus attention than to conceal, causing Jean to gasp again. "I didn't think I would ever get hot looking at another woman, honey, but you are just too much! I'm surprised that Jim will let you spend a night away from him! You are lovely and sexy."
"Actually, Jim is so immersed in work right now that I could walk naked in front of him and he wouldn't notice me. He spends all week making up lectures for his new courses, grading exams and reading papers. Then he has to spend most of the weekend concentrating on researching and writing his dissertation. It's really too much for him, trying to do both at the same time. He's actually looking forward to the National Guard encampment in July to get away from academic work. In any case, he reserves Friday night, after movies, for us, leaving the other six days for work. Anyhow, I'm glad you like the way I look. It's funny, I look in the mirror and, to be honest, I like what I see and I think other people would also, but I just can't believe that someone would be turned on by me because I just don't think of me as sexy."

"Well I'll tell you, honey, seeing you does tum me on, and if Don were here, he definitely would have a hardon!"
"A hardon? What on earth is that?"
"Oh, that's one of those dumb words men use to say that their cock is hard. Seeing you in the sheer nightgown with those transparent panties would make him hard as a rock!"
Susan blushed and stammered, "You...you mean that Don would be that excited from seeing me like this? That makes me feel sort of peculiar, flattered I guess. Would it make you feel funny if he did get hard if he saw me?"
"Jealous, you mean? Of course not! Frankly, any man who wouldn't react to you has something wrong with him, and I certainly wouldn't want a husband who wasn't attracted by a beautiful woman who was almost nude! I assure you that Don would not only get hard, he would want to do something about it!"
"You stop that now! You're going to get me hot! In any case, nobody has ever seen me like this but Jim and you, and I intend to keep it that way. Even the thought of people seeing me undressed embarrasses me, a holdover from my mother and family, I suppose. From the time I was a little girl, it was drummed into me that my body always should be concealed. I've always worn longer skirts than most women, fuller blouses to hide my breasts, thick bras so my nipples won't show through -- things like that. They always stressed keeping my knees locked together, feet on the floor and, heaven help me if a thigh or hose top showed. I know all this stuff is conditioning, but it worked! I'm just not comfortable unless everything is hidden, even if, on occasion, I'm tempted to wear something more daring or revealing."
"It's amazing how childhood training carries over and the inhibitions parents create are hard to break. Haven't you ever shown anything?"
"Only one time, to my knowledge, and it happened, completely by accident, with Jim. It was in that class where I first met him. My jacket fell on the back of my chair, and I had to reach around and down to get it. Evidently, as I strained to reach it, my legs spread wide enough for him to see right to my panties! He told me about it long afterwards when we were going together and I was horribly embarrassed about it even then. Look, I'm blushing even now! I just can't even think of exposing myself without being embarrassed! Incidentally," Susan giggled, "he had a tremendous erection after seeing me and had to hide it behind the lectern! I don't know what I would have done if I had known then that he had seen up me or the effect it had on him!"
"Susan, honey, are you telling me that in your entire adult life that is the only time anyone has seen up your skirt."
"Sure. Of course, I didn't know about Jim seeing until much later, so it's quite possible that something similar happened some other time, but, if so, I don't know about it. I'm very careful, because of my background and the fact that I would be positively humiliated if I knew that even my hose tops and supporters had been seen. Of course, pantyhose eliminates that problem even if I don't like to wear them."
