CHAPTER 7: TAMARA AND MILES
I was on the back patio when I heard the doorbell chime inside. I didn't move from my assigned function which was to have refreshments ready for the guests. As normal, I was naked but with sunglasses on top of my head while I was busy in the shade of the outdoor cooking/entertainment section of the patio. It was still early for the guests to arrive and I speculated on who was comfortable enough to arrive early.
After a moment, the sliding door opened. Of course, it had to be Marie. She'd been here several times as my guest since I moved in with the Cornells. She also frequently joined us for a three-on-one experience for Mr. C.
"There you are," she said. "And, of course, naked. The invitation just said pool party."
It was Mrs. C's idea and I was much in favor of it. It meant we had to chase Mr. C away for the afternoon and early evening. Mrs. C did indeed put out the invitation as a pool party and get-together afternoon. I wasn't too surprised to see Marie in a short cover-up and flip-flops. Marie had turned into quite the exhibitionist, too. The drive over would have been that, especially with the number of buttons left undone top and bottom which showed the tiny bikini underneath. I also wasn't surprised when she casually began taking her cover-up and bikini off. She'd been here before and knew our natural dressing mode. I wasn't sure how the other women would show up.
Marie asked what she could do to help and I pointed her toward the pool area and the shed at the side. The lounge chair cushions had been stowed away before our recent storm and had not been pulled out. My morning swims were just that, not lying around.
Nearer to the appointed hour, the chime sounded inside the house, again. The next time the sliding door opened, Sara led the rest of the women from the office onto the patio followed by Mrs. C and several of them were carrying trays or bowls of snacks. They were all wearing shorts and blouses and holding small bags which probably contained their swimsuits. The women looked at me, then Marie, then each other. It wasn't until Mrs. C unloaded her hands and removed her cover-up to reveal she was also naked and, in unison, the rest stripped off clothes without bothering with swimsuits.
Mrs. C smiled as the women all seemed comfortable stripping. "I didn't want to put 'naked' on the invitation but leave it to however you were comfortable," she confessed as the women became comfortable.
Ms. Benson replied, "Thank you for the consideration, Samantha, but you know how comfortable we all are at the office."
"You're right, of course. And, it was the office that I was thinking about. I made the suggestion of an office get-together here but then it hit me that I may have overstepped. I thought we should talk and at the same time have an enjoyable afternoon without men. I may as well start right off with it. I made the comment about the dress being 'very casual' and the implication was being naked or nearly so. Then it hit me that you all live with that every day at work: the expectation of being naked and sexually available. Maybe you didn't want more of that on a day off." Mrs. C paused. "I thought we'd have this conversation dressed but I neglected to factor in the Abby effect."
Everyone laughed, clearly understanding the comment. Cindy stepped forward a bit uncertainly. She was one of the newest members of the group and in the midst of a partner and manager. "Personally, Mrs. Cornell, your offer was gracious but also perfect. We're still a new group to each other. We work hard with serious implications for the jobs we perform. We're naked only because the job is perfect for exhibitionists. We have sex because we have a high sex drive. You felt something of what that is like when you visited, which was awesome, ma'am, by the way."
Then Patti added, "She's right, of course, and I think we all feel that way." She looked around the group of naked women who were all nodding. "We've all fucked and sucked cock during the day. Being naked, we all enjoy the looks we get from the men, all the men, as we discuss something serious with them. It's why we, regardless of position, wanted to work there. I was looking forward to the get-together as a casual, unhurried time to be with people of the office if you catch my drift."
We all nodded in agreement. I think all of us had the same feeling and Mrs. C was now realizing her offer had hit a respondent cord with us. We all got drinks and moved to the lounge chairs Marie had arranged in as tight a circle as possible.
After settling, Tamara asked, "Since we're in agreement on the get-together and we're in agreement that we're all a bunch of exhibitionist sluts ... pardon my french ... I have a question." We were all paying attention. "I was wondering if there is some rule about out-of-the-office contact."
"I wonder who that might be?" I threw out. Even under her dark skin, you could see her blush.
Ms. Benson jumped in, "As long as you want to be a part of our office, I think any relationship any of us enters has to consider how it would impact your ability to continue as part of the office. It could have an effect in the office and in the relationship." She looked around the group and seemed to then focus on Patti as the HR person.
Patti thought for a moment, then, "I think any relationship any of us or the men go into is outside the rules of the office except for the confidentiality part. A relationship outside of the office has to consider that. A relationship of some kind inside the office ... should be easier as long as it didn't create a possessive response. There is an understanding that the office is consensual and open. I think it would be worth bringing to the other Partners, Pam."
We all agreed and I could already see that it wasn't going to be an issue. I had already proven it could happen without creating an in-the-office problem. It just needed to be clarified. It was also interesting to me that it hadn't seemed to happen in the larger office. The intimacy of our smaller office might be an added benefit. Some interesting things might come from this.
The serious talk seemed to dissolve and Tamara seemed satisfied. We soon found ourselves in the pool with a lot of playful touching. The decision that all women in the office follow the same rules regarding undress and sex tied this group together while still not interfering with who was in positions of authority in the office. We were seven naked women from the office plus the boss's wife and our playful touching quickly became more indiscriminately. When we exited the pool, our bodies were heated beyond the effect of the sun. We dropped the cushions to the tiled surface and formed an eight-woman daisy chain. We licked, tongued, and sucked pussy. One by one orgasmic sound flowed around the circle.

I sat behind and to the side of Mr. C in my usual position at the regular Monday morning Partners Meeting. I was the only Executive Assistant in attendance. Mr. C didn't like taking notes. It put his full attention on the moment and it was my role to track everything that needed following up. Besides us, the meeting was composed of Mr. Peterson, Mr. Sullivan, Ms. Benson, and Patti Adams. In total, three fully clothed men and three women dressed only in stockings and heels. This was a professional meeting of the senior staff but that didn't mean erect nipples weren't seen or some attention sometimes seemed more directed at breasts than faces. But, those were fleeting. Minds in any meeting wandered some. With us, it just tended not to be some movie, concert, or fishing trip.
There was one topic of specific interest I was waiting for. Near the end of the meeting agenda, I caught the eye of Ms. Benson and nodded. She took a breath, "There is one more thing, Joe," she began. There wasn't anything more on the agenda but he nodded giving her his full attention. She explained that a question had come up regarding the office and confidentiality. She explained the question without names or how the question came up. Mr. C was the only one who was aware of our gathering the previous Saturday.
Mr. C turned to Patti. "Pam and I talked about this, Joe." She went on to outline the discussion we had with Mrs. C present while giving the impression it had been between her and Ms. Benson. Then, in summary, "We can't very well restrict the formation of relationships. If this didn't come up in the previous office, that is amazing. We should get out in front of the issue with a strong unified approach. One, the Confidentiality Agreement will be enforced; two, relationships formed with someone outside the office can result in devastating effects when the nature of the office is discovered; and three, relationships formed inside the office should not result in possessiveness that limits or interferes with the open sharing nature of the office." She made contact with each Partners. "My recommendation is this be communicated in each small group to encourage communication and any questions."
There was more discussion to be certain they all had the same understanding. Patti offered to provide an outline of key points to be covered and reinforced. I knew my relationship with Mr. C added an erotic dimension to my experiences in the office. I found myself excited to see how others might find it.
