This is a standalone story but the main characters have all been involved previously in the "Rediscovering their Love" series.
As such there is some repetition as the characters relationships are explained for (hopefully) new readers.
Within that storyline the concept of "nude secretaries' day" was explored (chapter 4) as it was part of the culture at Hydra, the firm which all now work at.
Here, we join the time between the firms' takeover by Hydra as NSD approaches and the day itself.
In keeping with my preferences for such a story, there are no explicit sex scenes, no exploitation of staff, more what I hope are teasing episodes in a story about enjoying experiences which benefit everyone.
This allows the reader to use their own imagination to decide if they are an observer or a participant.
The Prelude covers the back story and introduces the concerns of the staff who will have to work nude.
Nude Secretaries' Day covers the events on the actual day.
Nude Lady Dinner which concludes the day involves more sexual content as the workday has concluded and the sexual heat built up is released.
As it encompasses the day, this story is fairly long so I have constructed it in chapters with sections within so you can come and go as you wish.
No adultery, no abuse, no violence, no non-consensual activity.
Prelude
Stephen sat at his desk and surveyed the office. He still couldn't believe that he was now responsible for all those working here. He had been a fairly mid-level manager but after Hydra took over the firm in September, he was promoted to be boss of the new Hydrogen technologies department and now had forty people working under him including his brother-in-law Phil and friend Neil.
Not only did they work together but they were very good friends. His wife Diane was Phil's wife Kim's elder sister. Both were beautiful, sensual goddesses. Neil's wife Sam was not far behind, in his opinion. Neil disagreed.
Hydra's work policies focussed on their wellbeing and their families which meant they finished on time and had a social life, a private life and what in his case, had become a great sex life. Life overall was terrific. They all earned far more than they could have dreamt off even a year ago, so were able to afford to enjoy their time together.
Neil and he had managed to get all the staff they wanted to work with them following the takeover. Phil had managed to get quite a few of the staff from his old place of work to join him at Hydra. Not that difficult given how badly they were treated there.
There had been one major sticking point for many, notably, the female members of staff, 'nude secretaries' day'.
Diane, Kim and Carole, one of the original secretaries involved had held an open meeting with all the women to explain the reason behind it, what it achieved, not only in terms of money raised for local charities but more importantly, what it conferred on the women involved in terms of self-confidence, self-awareness and more.
Most of their prospective staff were, to say the least, highly sceptical.
Carole began by explaining a bit about Hydra, "You may have noticed some people were not retained when you were taken over. I'm sure many are relieved those are not here. We go to great lengths not only to have bright people but ones who care about others. That really helps when 'nude secretaries' day' comes around.
"Hydra want you, your families, to have a life, not stuck at a desk 70-80 hours a week. We know that destroys relationships, destroys families and ultimately is not good for the business.
"We want you being treated properly, paid well and if you need help, due to family illness, as an example, we're there for you. You're not someone to be exploited so the owner can have another private yacht or jet or shareholders another world cruise.
"Nude Secretaries day was first suggested, by us, the secretaries, not the men as some seem to think. The reason was the local hospice needed more funds and there was only so much cake you could bake and buy. Most of us had personal experience of the work of the hospice.
"Four of the eight original secretaries at Wright's, the first office, reluctantly volunteered as we thought that by doing this we could raise more, perhaps £1000. I was one of them as I was George's, the owner's secretary and as the most senior, I felt it was my duty to do so. To say I was petrified at the thought, would be a gross understatement.
"When I suggested it on behalf of the secretaries, George surprised me when he said it had to be all of us or not at all. Seeing that the aim was to help the hospice, after discussing it further, we all agreed to participate, albeit very reluctantly, as we couldn't see any other way of raising the funds.
"I made George aware of concerns about a couple of members of staff in particular. He was mad they hadn't been arrested for previous transgressions before he bought Wright's. Unbeknown to anyone, he arranged security to protect us.
"He also instigated a behavioural policy to ensure everyone was safe. These personal rules apply not only on nude secretaries' day but to all days. If someone tries to accost, abuse verbally or physically anyone, they will be sacked immediately. Such behaviour is not tolerated. It has never been required since that first day.
"It was accepted that comments may come out which were inappropriate but as long as there was an apology that was regrettable but in the circumstances acceptable.
"To illustrate. If someone grabbed you and said they wanted to fuck you, they would be sacked. If the victim wished or the attack was so beyond acceptable the Police would be called. If they say as their jaw drops, "fucking hell, you're beautiful!" then realise the comment is inappropriate and apologise then the incident was closed. It's the context which is important."
Some present nodded in that, 'pull the other one' way.
Carole continued, "All the secretaries approached that day with a lot of trepidation if not downright fear. Very quickly the two we suspected would, did breach the protocols and were sacked on the spot. Those concerned were very impressed with the security and their reactions to those two arses. They seemed to know where to hold for maximum pain with no effort.
"No one else behaved in a poor manner either on that day or any such day since.
"After a little while, all of us were very pleasantly surprised to find that we did not miss our clothes.
"If anything, we preferred it as our concerns were shown to be so wrong. People were in fact more respectful and appreciative of our efforts. The men recognised the bravery needed by us.
"As the morning wore on, we found that we were gaining so much more self-confidence. Yes, some comments were made but they mainly boosted our self-esteem or made us laugh.
"By mid-morning many of the men were more concerned their jaws would need surgery to stay in place or cum in their pants than ogle the women.
"Yes - they look! They stare! Especially those seeing it for the first time, they can't believe it!
"Yes - their faces and other parts will tell you what they feel. Mostly, they're overwhelmed.
"The power seemed to transfer from the men to us and to the other women, the many who supported us.
"As the day went on, many of the women, including myself, to be honest, as they relaxed, found they liked to tease the gentlemen. We'd bounce our breasts as we walked, lean over more closely or accidentally, as they passed, move our seats so that our pussies were on open display. It seems incongruous that the more exposed we were, the more control we had.
"It was great to see the reactions we managed to get from them. Many counted how many ran or rather limped to the toilets. That really boosted how we felt about ourselves."
That had apparently raised a laugh.
"Some budding office romances were lit. Some have married since.
"The true after effect, more importantly, was that all involved felt their self-esteem and self-confidence was raised, we became more emboldened and more engaged in the workplace, speaking up when before we would have been reluctant as that wasn't seen to be our place. The confidence from that day stayed with us. As a result, many have advanced beyond what they ever thought they would.
"What had really helped and what has been so great for all of us, was that so many of the other female members of staff supported us and joined in. That remains the case to this day.
"All the male staff and contractors working on the buildings that day paid 25% of their daily pay to the charity pot. Many made special efforts to be there. Instead of the hoped for £1000, the secretaries would have raised £18000 but altogether with those who joined us, we raised £65250 which George more than doubled to £140000. This year as Hydra has expanded we raised almost half a million pounds which again he doubled.
"We learned later that the reason George said all the secretaries had to be involved was that he wanted to promote many of us but didn't want it to be suggested that the way to get on was to take off your clothes. If it was just the original four volunteers who did it and they were the ones promoted, you can see his point. All of the original secretaires have promoted posts, even very senior ones like mine. Rest assured those had nothing to do with being us being willing to work naked one day a year but the qualities we bring to the table. Qualities which our newfound confidence has helped nurture.
"And it certainly does help we are all well paid!"
Kim had explained her attire. She was only wearing her working clothes, suspenders, stockings and heels. Her appearance had shocked many.
"Carole inadvertently caused this. At the end of the day, she had asked George if he had had his fantasy fulfilled. He said "No, if it was my fantasy you would have worn suspenders, stockings and heels."
"What is it with men, stockings and suspenders?
"He's so lovely, the girls decided to dress like that themselves. He was flabbergasted but very pleased. Well, which male wouldn't be!
