The vehicle turned a corner and there it was: still a little in the distance, but close enough to bring the memories β and emotions β flooding back.
Her mind took her back to this time last year when she had seen the tribe's village for the first time. All she had known last time was that she was going to spend a month with a tribe who had little contact with the outside world and so still had many of their own special customs and traditions.
She was just as nervous this time as last, but for different reasons. Last time she had been completely stepping into the unknown. This time she knew a lot more about the tribe. Not only had she spent a month with them but she had participated in their coming of age ceremony, rather too enthusiastically.
The memory of this made her turn and look her fellow passenger. She had met Stu soon after returning from her time with the tribe, and a friendship had turned into something more. Stu and Jess had been dating for about eight months now, and when Jess had told him she would like to go and visit the tribe, he had insisted on coming along. She had chosen to keep most of the details of her previous summer's trip a secret, something she was now beginning to regret.
As the vehicle drew closer to the edge of the village Jess took a deep breath and started to pull off her top. It took Stu only a few seconds to notice what she was doing and he gave her a surprised look. Having removed her top she unfastened her jeans and started to remove these too.
"What on Earth are you doing?" Stu asked.
This was going to take some explaining.
"Well, the tribe see being naked as a way of demonstrating your shame..."
Suddenly the vehicle took an alarming swerve to the left. Jess paused for a second, jeans around her ankles. She looked at the driver and could tell instantly what had caused his lapse in concentration. He was staring into the rear view mirror, clearly more interested in what was happening on the back seat than on the road.
"... shame for something you have done wrong," she continued when the vehicle had finally returned to the correct side of the road. She pulled the jeans off and started to reach behind her back to unfasten her bra. She took another deep breath. It wasn't just the driver she was nervous about seeing her undressed, it was Stu as well. Although they had been dating for what seemed like ages, she hadn't slept with him yet. It just hadn't felt right yet. Not like it had with...
"I don't understand β what did you do wrong?" Stu asked, puzzled.
Jess released the fastening and pulled her bra off as quickly as possible. Stu's eyes moved straight to her bare breasts, and another violent swerve made it clear that the driver's eyes had too. Typical boys.
"Remember I mentioned the coming of age ceremony?" Jess asked, and Stu nodded. She put her thumbs in the waistband of her knickers and pulled these down too. She was sitting there naked now, ready to encounter the tribe and show them her regret at how she had behaved.
"Well, it's a traditional way for boys and girls in the tribe to find themselves a future spouse," she continued. Stu's eyes were fixed on her bare crotch now. It felt a bit weird β nobody had seen her naked for a year, but she knew that a whole lot more people were about to see her naked and she would have to get used to it.
"And I sort of accidentally gave a guy the impression that I was going to marry him β"
That was enough to distract his attention from her body for a second, and he looked up at her.
"What?! How?"
"It's... it's complicated..."
She didn't want to explain to Stu right now how she had given Theta a hand job in front of the whole village then lost her virginity to him.
"But anyway," she continued, feeling the vehicle starting to slow as it arrived at its destination, "I just hope they'll be OK about it."
The village looked deserted as they stepped out of the vehicle. Jess could see the driver leering at her naked body. She stared back at him defiantly but he didn't avert his gaze.
"Looks like they've all gone out for the day!" Stu joked. "Did you tell them we were coming?"
"Yes!" insisted Jess. "This is what they do. They'll all jump out in a minute and start a ceremonial dance. Be warned β most of them will be naked."
She led Stu through the village to the central circle, and as they arrived her heart started to beat much faster. This is where it had all happened just less than a year ago.
It was just how she remembered it: naked men suddenly emerging from all around, dancing to silent music. She even knew the dance β it was a version of one she had taken part in at the coming of age ceremony. It was here that she had seen a penis for the first time last year. Seeing the men in all their naked glory reminded her that she hadn't seen a naked man since the last time she was in the village.
Tearing her eyes away from the array of exposed cocks Jess looked up at the villagers' faces to try to gauge their reaction to her arrival. Although most of them seemed lost in the dance, a few of them had looks of surprise. Presumably they had all been told the identity of the guest they were welcoming, but perhaps they had not expected her to arrive minus her clothes.
She searched the faces for the friends she had made the previous year β one in particular. She managed to pick out a few of the villagers of her own age who had participated in the coming of age ceremony the previous year. She saw Chi dancing away in the front row, and couldn't resist a glance down at his huge manhood, reputedly the result of once being bitten in that intimate place by a venomous snake. She could feel herself starting to get aroused but hoped that her naked body did not reveal this.
Finally she found the villager she had really been searching for. Three rows back she could just make out Theta, dancing away with the rest of the men. However, he did not look as happy as the rest to be welcoming her. His eyes were firmly fixed on Stu, clearly wondering who he was and clearly not entirely delighted to be welcoming him to the village.
Jess glanced over at Stu who was glaring at her. She gave him a quizzical look. What was he annoyed about?
"So this is why you wanted to come? To stare at other guy's cocks?" he hissed loudly.
Jess was surprised by his reaction. She had warned him that the welcoming party would be naked. What was his problem?
Before she could reply a further group of villagers came dancing out, this time the adult women of the village, all as naked as Jess was. Jess looked back at Stu, planning on answering his ridiculous allegation, but she noticed that he appeared to have been distracted by the newcomers.
Stu was clearly enjoying the view of the village women dancing around without any clothes on. Jess realised that this was a guy's wet dream: the village women were generally attractive and all had generously proportioned chests. Their vigorous dancing was making their boobs bounce around in all directions. She looked back at Stu to see his eyes flickering from one set of big boobs to another. Hypocrite.
Finally the younger members of the tribe came out with their own welcome dance. They were all dressed in brightly coloured clothes, the privilege of those who had not yet been through the coming of age ceremony. Stu didn't even seem to notice the new dancers. His eyes had now settled on one of the most attractive women. Jess recognised her at once. It was Sigma. They had become close friends last time she was in the village.
Jess looked down to see a bulge in Stu's trousers. She wasn't at all surprised. She suddenly remembered that she was as naked as all the other women. She looked down at her own chest. She never normally thought of her boobs as being particularly small, but compared to those possessed by the village women they were. She looked up at Stu again, whose eyes were still focussed on Sigma's huge boobs. A pang of jealously welled up inside her. Why was Stu paying Sigma so much attention and ignoring her?
