Beth and Zack had been friends since childhood. He'd been, and still was honestly, a bit of a nerd. But in the last year of high school Beth had bloomed. Going from a mousy tomboy to a buxom beauty had been a big change in her experience. But since the two were going to go to the same college and were so close, they decided to get a two bedroom apartment to share. It was cheaper and quieter than the dorms and neither would have to risk a roommate that was problematic.
The changes in Beth has caused her to be more confident and accepting of her sexuality, at least in her wardrobe choices. Being so close to Zack helped as she was able to be comfortable at home not wearing a bra or hanging out in just a t-shirt and panties. Zack definitely checked her out but was never creepy about it and they both grew accustomed to just wearing what was comfortable to them.
However they'd been careful not to have any explicit nudity around each other. Always making sure to cover up going to and from the bathroom. Keeping doors locked when showering or changing. And generally knocking before entering bedrooms and respecting each other's privacy. Which is why Zack was a bit surprised to be eating breakfast one morning when Beth exited her room wearing only a pair of panties. Not only was she topless but her nipples were adorned with two silver bars.
"Umm... Beth... what's going on?"
Beth stretched her arms out over her head and arched her back, forcing her chest and erect nipples to jut out towards him. "Well. I was out with some friends yesterday and I decided to get my nipples pierced. There were a lot of after care recommendations. One is to avoid tight clothing and basically to let them breathe. So, that's what I'm doing. I figured you wouldn't mind since we're always a bit casual around here."
Zack snorted a bit. "Do I mind if my incredibly hot friend walks around half naked? No, not particularly. But it is new. And it's going to make it difficult not to ogle you a bit. Sorry in advance."
"Don't be sorry. I think it's fair that if I'm leaving some part of my body uncovered that's an invitation for you to look. Besides, I think I have great tits and nipples, so if you weren't at least checking them out a little I'd be almost offended." She smirked playfully at him, reaching up to cup her chest suggestively to tease him, her fingers rubbing her nipples softly.
"Fair enough. So besides teasing me mercilessly, what's on your agenda for today?"
She pouted at his lack of reaction and dropped her hands. "Well I was going to go out on our balcony to tan a bit. Want to join me?"
He agreed then went to his room to change. Coming out in just a pair of shorts he stopped short. Beth was laying one one of the two lounge chairs, still wearing only the tiny panties. Both her hands massaged suntan lotion into her chest, which was glistening already. She quickly circled her nipples to cover them before moving down to start rubbing it into her stomach.
"You know, I always thought it was unfair that guys can just walk around topless but girls can't. Seems pretty unfair." She leaned forward to coat her legs, her arms pushing her boobs together as she looked up mischievously at him, inviting him to admire her charms.
He just smirked, maintaining eye contact and not letting her distract him with her new casual approach to nudity. "I mean, in some states and cities you can. This isn't one of them but since it's just the two of us I'll let it slide. In fact, I want you to be as comfortable as you want around here so wear or don't wear whatever you want." He put some lotion on his hands and quickly covered his front.
An almost feral grin adorned her face. "Oh yeah? Maybe I'll take you up on that." Her fingers slid under the waistband of her panties briefly, pushing them down just slightly before she gave him a saucy wink and turned over onto her stomach. "But not today at least. Do you mind doing my back?"
He groaned slightly, moving over coat the back of her legs before straddling her butt and rubbing lotion into her back. She purred as his fingers massaged her back but he didn't take any liberties with the opportunity.
"Thanks. Now lay down and let me do your back."
He nodded, lying face down. She straddled the upper part of his legs instead of her bottom like he did. Being so much taller than her, this forced her to lean forward dragging her chest and nipples over the small of his back multiple times as she covered him.
"You're such a tease Beth. You're lucky I'm a nice guy."
"You are a nice guy, which is why I trust you to let me explore my body and sexuality as I want it without doing anything without my consent. I'm still getting used to having a body people might want to see and feeling comfortable in it. And as a nice guy, I could use a favor. I want to get my clit pierced but it feels weird to just have my pussy out with a strange man. So I was hoping you could come with me for support?"
He sat up slightly and looked back at her. "You want me to go with you to get your clit pierced? You know that means I'll be seeing everything right? You sure you're ok with that? It's a big step."
"Well. The aftercare is similar anyways and you already said I should be comfortable around here. So I was planning on being much more casually nude anyways. It makes me feel sexy and empowered."
