It was a warm, pleasantly sunny Saturday afternoon and I was just returning home from an unexpected half-day in the office. There were a couple of extra cars in the driveway, just leaving room for me to get to my side of the garage. Entering the kitchen, voices could be heard from the patio at the back of the house. Monica was entertaining three of her girlfriends, and in homage to the onset of summer weather, at last, they were apparently enjoying the sunshine in their bikinis. Not one to pass up such an opportunity, I poured myself a glass of wine and took it out to join them in the sun.
I must admit, I enjoyed the sight of the four ladies working on their tans and chatting together. The swimsuits hinted at and even emphasized their various attributes and I was pretty sure there were several nipples putting nice little points on the bra cups of two of them. I couldn't tell about Jill as she was lying on her stomach on one of the lounges, but she was inadvertently displaying some well-rounded cheeks with a tantalizing cleft between them.
After a few words of greeting their chatter continued as if I was not even there and I was left to contemplate the beauties before me, semi-lost in various naughty, flesh-inspired daydreams. Soon finishing my wine, I excused myself to change clothes and finish a couple of items in my home office. I was also congratulating myself on my good fortune in being able to get away with some subtle leering glances at the ladies with no repercussions.
Maybe a half-hour later, Monica came to my office door.
"Dave," she said, "come to the living room for a minute."
I couldn't quite put my finger on her tone of voice, but something sounded different. She was quite firm -- no 'please' or 'thank-you'; she almost sounded annoyed.
I followed Monica into the room and was kind of surprised to see her three friends all seated around the room. Monica took the remaining seat and just gestured to the center of the room, indicating that I should stand in the middle.
"What's this about, Monica?" I asked.
She looked me straight in the eye and said, "David", (She always calls me 'Dave' – this was a sign of trouble.), "your behavior really embarrassed me this afternoon, and made my friends feel very uncomfortable".
I felt like I had been hit by lightning, or something. My chest got tight, my heart started pounding and I could hear a ringing in my ears all of a sudden. I glanced around at the other women and each had a little curl to the corners of their lips and a definite sparkle of anticipation in their eyes; really quite undecipherable expressions.
"Monica, I don't understand," I protested. "What have I done to upset everyone?"
After a pause, Monica began "My friends and I were enjoying the first warm Saturday. Then you joined us and proceeded to leer and practically drool over us like we were on your own personal meat counter."
"Monica, I ..."
"Quiet, David! I am not finished speaking! We all noticed how you were enjoying the sight of us in our bikinis. How you would lean and move to try to see down our tops. How you kept adjusting your pants. None of us have ever been this embarrassed and humiliated in our lives, David."
Waiting to be sure she had finished speaking, I began cautiously: "Monica, ladies, I am so sorry I made you feel awkward. I won't let it happen again. I am embarrassed about it myself and if I could make it up to you I certainly would." This was an empty offer, of course. How could I undo what had been done?
"David, I don't know how you think you can 'make it up to us'. What's done is done, after all. But I think we could emphasize the lesson you need to learn, don't you?"
What was she driving at? I had no clue but I was pretty sure I needed to go along with her to calm the troubled waters, so to speak.
"Of course, Monica. What can I do?" I asked.
She gave a quick glance at the other ladies and then, with a nod as if she had made up her mind, said "That's good, David. Since you enjoyed yourself while making us all feel like slabs of meat, we have agreed that it would do you good to know what that feels like." She paused to let that sink in. "David, strip. Now."
I chuckled and said, "Okay Monica, you've made your point. I apologize again."
"Your apology is accepted, David, but the consequences remain. Right here, right now, strip your clothes off."
I did not move a muscle. How could she do something like this? And in front of our friends! These were the female halves of couples we socialized with.
"I mean it," she said but it came out more as a growl and I knew she meant exactly what she had said. I closed my eyes for a minute and opening them again, started to unbutton my shirt. I saw Monica visibly relax and lean back in her chair, watching.
The shirt fully undone, I slipped it off and tossed it on the empty chair.
"Neatly, please," Monica said in a soft but firm voice. I picked up the shirt and draped it carefully across the chair back. Monica was watching. Her girlfriends were watching. I wasn't sure if this was how the deer felt in the headlights or if it was more like being in the crosshairs. I un-tucked my T-shirt from my waistband and drew it over my head, placing it across the chair back with my shirt.
Glancing at Monica to be sure she wanted me to continue, and not receiving any signal to the contrary, I reached for my belt and opened it, undid the button and unzipped. Trying not to catch the eye of any of the other ladies, I pushed my slacks over my hips and to the floor, stepped out of them and bent to pick them up. Thank God I had put on fresh underwear this morning, just like my Mother had always said. But this was not the Emergency Room at the hospital; this was an entirely surreal and very different world I had somehow stepped into.
I knew there was no going back, so I took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, hooked my thumbs in the waistband of my briefs and pushed them down. I was totally mortified and my penis was evidently feeling the same because it had shriveled from my normal, average size down to almost, well not invisible, but so small as to be an even greater embarrassment. I heard a couple of low giggles and one quiet gasp from around the room.
"Put the underwear on the chair, David," I heard Monica say. I scooped them up and laid them on the chair with my slacks and tried to hide a bit by moving my hands to cover myself.
"Very good, David" she said, "Now I want you to do something for me. I want you to stand in front of each of the ladies, look them straight in the eye and apologize for your earlier behavior." A pause. "Oh yes, and put your hands at your sides."
I gave Monica a stony stare, not believing what I was hearing. Did she want to totally destroy me in front of these ladies?
"Go on," she said simply.
So I did it. I went to Jill, then to Barbara, Janet and finally, Monica herself. I tried to be sincere in my apology to each one. Each of them looked me in the eye as I spoke but to a one they also let their eyes wander over my body, not avoiding my chest, stomach or my shrunken cock.
As I finished apologizing to Monica she told me "Your apology is accepted David, but now I am finding myself embarrassed."
"Why, Monica?" I asked.
