Part 4 of the Aunt Matilda series: "Aunt Matilda" is part 1, "Aunt Matilda to the Rescue" is part 2, and "Aunt Matilda Collects" is part 3 -- sorry, I never expected this to be a series when I started the first story.

"Cynthia, wake up!" Sara said excitedly, giving her friend a gentle nudge. "I think we're getting close to the landing approach. We've descended below the clouds. Look."
Cynthia opened her eyes, give them a quick rub, and smiled. The smile turned into a yawn as the auburn haired young woman stretched her arms up high, and arched her back. As she joined her friend in peering out the plane's window, she asked, "Did you sleep okay?"
"I followed Aunt Matilda's advice, and got a solid eight hours," Sara replied. "I've also already used the toilet, brushed my teeth and fixed my hair," she giggled. "If you want to do the same, you'd better hurry, before they light up the fasten seat belt sign."
"Okay, okay," her friend said, raising her hands in mock surrender. "I can take a hint -- my bladder's full, my hair's a fright, and my morning breath is horrible. Be right back."
After the requisite time had elapsed, Cynthia returned to her first-class seat next to Sara. "Better?" she asked.
"Your hair looks great now," Sara stated. "I can't tell about the state of your bladder, of course. As far as your breath goes, you'd better give me a kiss to let me check."
Laughing, Cynthia wrapped her arms around Sara's shoulders, and kissed her thoroughly.
"Mmmmm," Sara whispered when their lips parted. "A wonderful way to start my morning. I'm so glad you're able to come along with me on this trip."
"And I'm so glad that your aunt's paid my way as well as yours. And not only that, she got us these seats in first class. I've never flown in first class before!"
"Neither have I," Sara said. "My aunt is amazingly generous. She said that she wanted to make sure that we'd arrive well rested and ready to go."
The two friends held hands and stared out the plane's window as the announcement was made about fastening seat belts and preparing for landing, plus the current time, and temperature. The plane touched down smoothly, and taxied for quite a while, heading for its gate. At one point it cruised past a large building with a sign reading 'Aéroport Lyon-Saint Exupéry' in bold letters on its side, gleaming in the morning sunlight.
As the plane halted, jetways docked against it, and it's doors were opened. The two young ladies were practically bouncing in their seats with excitement. They deplaned easily, since they only had their small carry-on bags to tote. Aunt Matilda had told them that she would take them shopping for clothes, accessories, and cosmetics once they'd arrived. It was the way that she always traveled, she'd reminded them.
Once in the terminal, Sara and Cynthia were quickly bewildered, given the confusion of the signs in many languages, and the bustle and the babble of the crowded corridors. They decided to follow the bulk of the crowd from their plane, assuming and praying that these people knew where they were going. Sure enough, they arrived at customs, and watched as a pleasant man stamped their passports after asking them a few brief questions.
Now in the terminal proper, they were delighted to see Aunt Matilda waiting for them.
"Mes chères filles, bienvenue à Lyon!" Aunt Matilda cried happily, opening her arms to embrace them, and give them kisses.
Sara knew a little French, after taking a crash course. She'd worked out that Aunt Matilda had called them 'dear girls' and was welcoming them to Lyon. Summoning up the courage that Americans have to draw upon when trying to speak any foreign language to a native, Sara choked out, "Merci, tante." She prayed that her accent wasn't too atrocious.
"Well done," Aunt Matilda beamed. "That was quite understandable, and I appreciate your effort, my lovely niece. But I'm comfortable enough speaking English, and the people that I'll introduce you to will do the same -- some of them are actually originally from the United Kingdom. I want you more focused on your training, and not worrying about trying to learn a new language at the same time."
Cynthia especially looked grateful, since she hadn't had much warning about the trip, and pretty much only knew how to say 'yes' and 'no' in French.
"And how are you both feeling?" Aunt Matilda asked. "Do you have any jet lag?"
Sara answered, "I feel wonderful! We both followed your instructions about how to avoid it. That concept of altering our breakfast between high protein and high carbohydrate really seems to have worked. That, plus your advice about sleeping for the majority of the plane ride." Cynthia nodded her head in agreement.
"Therefore, it's time for your protein breakfast to keep you fully awake, correct?" Aunt Matilda inquired. Assured that it was, she then ushered her two new protégés out to where her luxurious car awaited them. A tall, handsome chauffeur politely opened the door to assist with their seating.
In a relatively short period of time, they arrived at a small bistro, where Aunt Matilda was well known. This was obvious, given the fawning deference shown to her as they were led to their table.
"In France, we don't usually have the sort of breakfasts that you Americans do," Aunt Matilda explained. "But I've told them of your special needs to start your day off right after such a long plane trip." She smiled. "Don't get too used to this, because after this your breakfast will typically consist of a croissant and coffee."
Minutes later, a smiling waiter placed plates before the girls. They gratefully tucked into the fried eggs, cold cuts of meat, and chunks of delicious cheese. Like Aunt Matilda, they were also served with a croissant and coffee. Eager to get out and really see the city, Sara and Cynthia didn't dawdle over their meal, although they tried to preserve some decorum as they made their breakfast disappear.
After another car ride, Aunt Matilda had them get out at Parc de la Tête d'Or, and they strolled through the Roseraie du Parc de la Tête d'Or, which was the Rose Garden in this beautiful park. The sunshine and brisk air thoroughly cleared the airplane air out of their lungs.
Next, Aunt Matilda had the driver take them across the Pont Morand, a bridge over the Rhône, since she wanted the girls to see the picturesque Fontaine Bartholdi. Sara and Cynthia seemed to have their heads on swivels, as they tried to see everything at once.
Back in the car, being driven through narrow, twisty streets, they had their noses pressed to the window glass, wide-eyed. They were drinking in the sights of shops, and museums, while trying desperately to translate all the French signs. "Auntie, what does 'arrondissement' mean?" Sara asked.
"Arrondissement means what you would call a borough. You know that New York City has various boroughs, such as Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. Lyon has nine such boroughs," her aunt explained.
The pressure kept building as they saw boutique after boutique, many with famous designer names. They had to... just had to... shop for clothes and shoes! Grinning her understanding, Aunt Matilda took them on a wondrous shopping spree. They were truly on holiday.
Finally, purchases stowed in the trunk of the car, the trio departed the city proper, heading out into more open spaces. Sara could hardly call them suburbs, not with all the stately manors with walled grounds, and glimpses of ornate shrubbery and manicured lawns.
Aunt Matilda's place wasn't the grandest of them all, but it made Sara and Cynthia gasp with delight, even from a distance. Its entrance way was flanked by a gatehouse, with a long, gently curved driveway leading to what Sara had to think of as a mansion. It was huge, by her standards.
She and Cynthia were gaping at the house and landscaped grounds, oblivious to much else until the car came to a halt. As the chauffeur hurried around and opened their door, they stepped out of the vehicle and finally noticed that the household staff was lined up in greeting. Given their prior interactions with Aunt Matilda, the two young ladies shouldn't have been surprised to find that the members of the staff stood there without a stitch of clothing on!
A woman and four men were lined up at attention, awaiting the arrival of their Mistress, and introduction to her guests. The men, especially, were 'at attention' in more than one way, apparently aroused at being on display. Sara was curious about the presence of the woman, though. "Auntie, given that Cynthia and I are here to be trained in the CFNM lifestyle, I can understand about the naked men," she began.
"But you're wondering about the woman?" Aunt Matilda said, grinning. When Sara nodded, her aunt laughed. "Oh, that's Sophie. She's also being trained in the lifestyle. She just likes being naked much of the time." She led them over to stand near Sophie. Sara eyed the blonde's lush figure appreciatively, with her perky tits and roseate nipples, and the tiny, heart shaped puff of blonde pubic hair that seemed to point at her clit. "Sophie, this is my niece, Sara, and her good friend Cynthia."
"Very pleased to meet you both," Sophie stated. She smiled. "Your aunt has sung your praises, Sara. I'm glad to have you and your friend here to help me keep these males in line."
"Should we remove our clothes also?" Cynthia asked, perhaps a little eagerly.
"I want you two to remember that a key element about this lifestyle is that you, as women, are in charge," Aunt Matilda reminded them. "Therefore, you can be nude anytime that the spirit moves you to be. However, I think you'll find that it helps to establish the correct mindset of control if you remained clothed for a while, while the men are naked. This helps establish the proper dynamic. Let me introduce you to the men, now."
