Part I of Hayden gives quite a bit of background behind the current story and may be helpful to read before this chapter.
As mentioned in the former chapter, my wife Nikki is a good friend of another woman in the neighborhood named Kjristie. Kjristie had a sister that was doing graduate work in psychology, particularly in the area of sex therapy and was engaged in research regarding exhibitionism and comfort levels of average women involving nudity and sexual practices. This is written based upon some of the information that my wife Nikki discussed with me, as well as some of the events which occurred after she was involved in the survey.
*
Apparently about a week or so after they had participated in Hayden's survey, my wife went for another exercise session with Kjristie. Now this was not unusual, they were in the practice of doing this several times a week. You can believe me; both women really looked good as they would stroll around the neighborhood dressed in sleeveless clingy tops and shorts. They would usually have their hair up in ponytails under ball caps and sporting shades to cut the glare. I doubt that anyone would have guessed these ladies were in their mid thirties. I can't help but think nearly all of the men in the neighborhood would look forward to seeing them out on the strolls.
That particular morning, the kids were in school and the husbands were at work. As they neared the end of the session, Kjristie invited Nikki to come to her house for some coffee and girl talk. Again not anything unusual, but as they relaxed sipping their coffee, Kjristie mentioned that they should really enjoy the beginnings of the crisp early autumn weather by having a brief soak in her hot tub. Evidently this was something that they had done occasionally before. Nikki had even packed a 2 piece bathing suit to wear when she had gone over to Kjristie's just in case.
Kjristie and her husband lived only about a block away from Nikki and me. Her husband was named Paul, and he was an established design engineer with a major national corporation with offices throughout the country, so it was not surprising that their house had unique design properties. The house was U-shaped with the enclosed section containing a patio with outdoor kitchen and grill, as well as hot tub area. The "wings" of the house had direct openings through large sliding glass doors from the some of the bedrooms and guest areas to the patio region, and the remainder of the yard was secluded from the neighbors.
Nikki told me that she changed into her suit in one of the bedrooms, and had actually jumped in the hot tub before Kjirstie arrived to join her. Normally, Kjristie was quite conservative in her dress. Despite participating in frequent activities together, Nikki told me that she had never actually seen Kjirstie completely undressed previously, even when they were just trying on clothes together or changing before exercising. Thus, when Kjirstie came out to the hot tub wearing only a bikini bottom, Nikki was slightly taken aback. Kjristie, now topless, audibly sighed as she slipped into the warm water sliding all the way up to her neck.
"I hope you don't mind that I'm not wearing a top, but it is just us, and it feels so good to just relax without wearing much. Paul and I rarely wear anything when we come out here after the kids have gone to bed. It just feels so much more comfortable, but I have to admit that we haven't done it with anyone else so far. The area is really private, so if you want to get more comfortable you can without worrying that anyone will see you."
Nikki was sitting directly across from Kjristie, so when she would sometimes change positions Nikki couldn't help but look directly over at Kjiristie's breasts as they would periodically break the water. Kjristie had quite full rounded breasts that were at least a large C but more likely a D cup with relatively wide areolas and slightly protruding nipples. Uncovered, they seemed larger than when she wore her clothes. Nikki pulled the clasp on her top and shed it, tossing it over on the patio. While she thought about taking off the bottoms, she decided that she would let Kjristie take the lead. It felt good to have the top off and her breasts free, and in the back of her mind, just a bit exciting to have Kjristie looking at them.
After a minute or two of silence, Kjristie began a bit of conversation. "Nikki, I need to ask you a few things, just between us." After a momentary pause, Kjristie continued. "I really appreciate that you helped me by participating in Hayden's research survey. Hayden got a lot of important data, and with that information, it opened up some new questions to be researched. She inquired if you would consider asking your husband to answer some questions directed toward the partners involved in the survey. Ben would not be told any of the information that you answered, and there would not be any of the after survey 'entertainment' that was involved in your part. In fact, he would be able to give the answers anonymously, just linked to the number that Hayden gave you to identify your survey responses. The information would give her some details about the spouse's impression of your sexual practices and feelings to match with your responses. You could tell Ben that he would only be identified by number and the information would be completely confidential. I have already asked Paul to do it, and he agreed. He will be giving the information to one of Hayden's associates so that it won't be linked to him if he saw Hayden. Since your husband has never met Hayden and would only be identified by a number, it would be very anonymous."
Nikki thought for a second, and responded that she would ask. In the back of her mind, Nikki was thinking about her participation in the survey and what happened afterwards. There was no doubt in her mind that she had felt sexier than she had in years just by having been a part of it.
Kjristie hesitated then began speaking again. "I also want to float an idea by you, and whatever your feelings, I do not want the fact that I asked to potentially change our friendship in any way. I know that we all agreed not to mention our partaking in the 'nude after-party' at Hayden's and I am not asking whether you did it or not. I am simply telling you that I didn't because I was afraid that Hayden would see me, and I was not expecting to have to make that type of decision so quickly. I think that the "suddenness" was part of the plan to identify certain personality types. Anyway, since that time, I keep wondering what it would have been like to be nude in front of others, and to be honest, see another man other than Paul. Paul has been working very hard on that big design project and hasn't seemed to show much interest in the bedroom recently. I know I should probably be ashamed, but I keep imagining doing something like what went on during that party when I go off to bed alone, and he is still working."
Nikki listened quietly and in her mind imagined Kjristie lying in bed as she had just described, thinking about a group of nude strangers. She bet that Kjristie's fantasy thoughts likely included masturbating, and Nikki mentally admitted that she had been doing that more frequently since participating in the survey.
"Anyway," Kjristie continued, "I hope that I am not shocking you by asking, but I thought that the best way I could resolve this issue was by asking you if there was anyway that you and Ben would consider coming over sometime and skinny dipping in the hot tub with us. This would not be some type of swap session, just the opportunity to be naked in a mixed group setting. We could do it some evening when all the kids were off somewhere. You are some of our closest friends, so I hope that I am not going too far by asking. I haven't even told Paul about the idea. In fact, if you agree, I may make it seem more like it was just a spontaneous thought and surprise him."
Nikki smiled at her friend and answered. "Kjristie, I would have no problem doing something like that with you and Paul if it is something that you would like. I can honestly say that I know that it has been one of Ben's fantasies for quite a while to do something exactly like that. I also think that there would be nothing better than to just announce it to the men unexpectedly after we finished eating dinner on the patio some night when the kids were gone. I will also bet we get more action following that than you have had for some time based on what you just said."
The concept seemed to be negotiated; now there were only the details to set up. In a couple minutes, both women got out and began picking up their things to get dressed. Kjristie came over to Nikki and briefly gave her a quick hug. "You are such a good friend," she said. It was not meant to be sexual, but their breasts briefly touched giving Nikki a slight tingle. Then they picked up their things and carried them into the house. Once inside, Nikki began to slip out of her bikini bottom, dried off with a towel, and began putting on her panties and sport bra.
Kjristie came out of the other bedroom carrying another towel. "I wasn't sure if you had a towel, so I brought one for you," she said. She was completely nude, and it was the first time that Nikki had actually seen her that way. Her large rounded breasts swayed slightly as she walked, but what Nikki really noticed was Kjristie had quite a bush of light blond pubic hair. Nikki obviously knew that Kjristie had blond hair, but it was the first time that she had seen a woman with a very light blond colored pubic mound. Nikki thought silently what a surprise I would have when I got to see her friend sometime in the future. Once she was dressed, Nikki said her goodbyes and headed home. Nikki asked me about doing the survey later that evening in a rather matter of fact way, not telling me any of the details of the prior survey or events following it.
I was willing to participate in the survey, and she gave me a telephone number to call to set up an appointment. She told me to identify myself only as spouse 31. I made an appointment for an evening a couple of nights later to go to an address (Hayden's house) in order to complete the questioning. Kjristie called later that evening to suggest that we come over for dinner a week from Friday night. Both sets of children would be gone on a field trip to a planetarium that evening and would not be back until quite late.
Although I really did not know what to expect when the date of the interview came, I felt that Nikki must have been comfortable with the idea since she had asked me to do it. I knew that Kjristie had a sister, but I had not met Hayden any time previously. It sounded like I would only be identified as "spouse 31", so it was doubtful that Hayden would know who I was, or in any way be able to link me to Nikki or Kjristie. I drove to a house about two miles away, and when I went to the door was greeted by a pretty young lady that resembled Kjristie. I identified myself as spouse 31, and she invited me inside.
Hayden briefly identified herself as a researcher in sexual behavior and began to explain herself. "I really appreciate your coming to help me with my research project. I want you to know that all the confidentiality measures are being taken to not only protect everyone involved, but particularly so you will be comfortable in giving truthful answers. Anything you say or do here will be protected information and will not get back to a spouse, friend or employer. If you are ever uncomfortable in answering, we can skip that portion or terminate the session. If I can get you anything let me know, otherwise why don't we come into my studio and we can begin the survey."
I followed Hayden into a back room which was nicely furnished but comfortable. Hayden was wearing a white knit pullover shirt and white shorts. She looked like a smaller and younger version of Kjristie but with smaller curves and an even more athletic appearance. Her hair was a bit darker colored blond than Kjristie. She was not trying to be anything but businesslike, but she was very attractive. We sat down facing each other, and she pulled out a questionnaire. She entered number 31 on the sheet and began the questioning.
