This is a continuation of "The Power of Suggestion, Ch. 1" If you haven't read that story, I recommend doing so as much of this won't make sense without prior context. I'm still new to writing in general, but as the first chapter seemed to be well received, I decided to continue the story. Please be kind, but all comments and criticism is welcome. If you like what I wrote, let know and I'll work towards adding additional chapters.
Thomas was astounded by the naked woman walking in front of him. Two days ago if someone told him he'd be on the beach with a beautiful woman who didn't hesitate to take her clothes off at his mere suggestion, he would have called them crazy, but here he was. Mary, who he had met the morning before, was currently leading him in the direction of his house. What's more, she wasn't planning on putting her clothes back on all day.
Thomas could only assume that the cube he had picked up the day before was the cause of his new found luck. The words it echoed were clear to him even now.
"Suggest to thee and it shall be."
Something had changed inside of him. He knew he had to experiment further and figure out the limits of his new power.
"So what's for breakfast?" Mary asked, walking backwards, completely ignoring the fact that she was naked. The question snapped Thomas out of his thoughts and back to reality. He had almost forgotten that he'd suggested she come over to eat.
"...Eggs?" was all he could come up with.
"Great!" Mary responded, "Anything else?"
"I should still have some bacon left."
"Perfect! Eggs and bacon sounds great right now!"
As they got closer to his street end, Thomas could see two people walking down the stairs onto the beach. As the only way back to his house would take the naked Mary past them, he needed to come up with a plan to explain her attire.
Mary continued walking and didn't seem to notice the approaching couple until they were well within view.
The two strangers were in their mid 20s. The girl was about 5'8" and slim with blonde hair. She wore a black string bikini that left little to the imagination and Thomas assumed she was a local since this early in the season she already had a decent tan. The man appeared a bit shorter than Thomas and didn't seem to be much of a beach person as he had quite a farmer's tan from what looked like a collared shirt. Both of them seemed stunned and stopped all of a sudden. They had obviously noticed Mary and were looking understandably confused.
"Uh...Hello." Said Thomas. "Nice...day...for a walk?"
The couple didn't seem to pay him any attention. Thomas had to do something or these people might cause a scene, which would attract even more attention, or worse, the police.
"Um...what are your names?" Thomas blurted out. Maybe suggesting something small would be enough.
The couple looked at each other for a moment, seemingly confused, but then turned back and replied, "Jess and Derek."
"Um..." Asked the girl. "Why is she naked?"
Thomas realized that just getting their names wouldn't cut it. He would still have to explain Mary's state of undress to them in a way that they'd (hopefully) understand and accept.
"Mary wanted to see what it felt to go skinny dipping, and then didn't want to get her clothes wet when she got out."
"That makes a little sense I guess, but she's plenty dry now and I don't see any clothes around." Said the Derek. "Not that I'm complaining." that got him a quick jab in the ribs from the girl next to him.
"It's alright as long as we're not bothering anyone isn't it?" Suggested Thomas. That seemed to do the trick as the couple was now visibly more relaxed.
"It's pretty comfortable, and Thomas seems to like it." Mary chimed in. "I didn't think this was something I would be doing today, but it feels great and I don't think it really bothers anyone."
"I supposed it doesn't really bother me, I just don't think I'd ever have the courage to do that myself." Said Jess.
"I think you could do it. You do look pretty great like that." Replied Derek.
Thomas couldn't help himself. He looked towards Jess and said, "I think you should give it a try."
Just like that Jess reached back and pulled the string holding her top together in back and then up to do the same to the string around her neck. As her top fell, Thomas caught his first glimpse of her naked breasts. They were slightly smaller than Mary's, but sat up quite perky with areolas about the size of a half-dollar coin. Her nipples began to stand up as they became exposed to the air.
The next step was her bottoms. Instead of untying the strings at the side, she pushed them down and stepped out of them to reveal a that she was completely shaved apart from a small landing strip above her mound and seemed to be glistening in the morning sun. "What should I do with this?" She asked.
As much as Thomas loved the idea of two naked women without any clothes nearby for them to put on, he already had enough to think about with Mary and decided against suggesting the same to Jess. "You should probably hold onto them." He replied.
"Okay!" Said Jess.
"They should both be fine wearing as little as they like." Thomas said to Derek. He wanted to make sure there were no loose ends with his suggestions.
"I agree that they're both pretty fine!" replied Derek.
"Well we've got to get going. Enjoy the beach." Thomas said, then added, "You should probably put that back on if you see anyone else." He didn't want to get anyone arrested today.
