This story is part of a pair. The other story, "First Time I Saw My Daddy Naked," tells the same story, but from the perspective of a different character. You can read the two of them in either order. Happy reading!
-------------------------
She was almost twenty years old when I first saw my daughter, Jennifer, naked.
You may wonder why it took so long. Twenty years? She grew up her entire life with me and her mother, in a not-very-big house, with two bedrooms and one bathroom. You'd think that at some point, I'd see her at least partially undressed. I never did, until she was nearly twenty years old.
Why did it take twenty years? It's a long story, but I'm not going to start at the beginning. I'm going to start in the middle, a little more than two years ago.
I had been divorced from my first wife, Maribel, for a few years. My girlfriend, Anna, had invited me out to dinner at a much better restaurant than we normally frequented. White tablecloths, nice china place settings with wine glasses. The works. The dinner had been wonderful, but there had to be a catch. Why were we here?
While we waited for dessert to be served, she brought up a topic. "I've been thinking," she said.
"Congratulations!," I said. "I knew it would happen eventually." I'm kind of a wise-ass, but it's part of my charm and she loves it. I looked at her expectantly.
"I was thinking," she said, "that you should give up your apartment and move in with me. If it works out well, in a couple of months, we could get married."
Well, that was a surprise! A most welcome one. We'd only been going out for, maybe, six months, but I was truly smitten with her. I loved her dearly. We hadn't discussed it, but I knew for sure that I wanted to spend my life with her.
I couldn't help being a wise-ass. "Is that a marriage proposal?" I asked. "Aren't you supposed to get down on your knees and offer me a ring?"
"I didn't want to get my skirt dirty and men don't get rings until the wedding."
"But it was a proposal?"
"Yes, it was," she said.
"In that case, I accept," I said. "There's nothing I would like more." We reached across the table and held hands. Then I got out of my chair and knelt on the floor before her. "One of us should kneel," I said.
"Anna, will you marry me in a few months, after we've lived together for a while?" I asked.
She smiled, "Thank you Richard, that's quite a surprise. I accept your proposal."
I stood, and we held each other and kissed. The diners in the restaurant applauded, and we turned to them and bowed, acknowledging their cheers. The waiter brought us champagne that we hadn't ordered.
We drank the champagne, ate our shared dessert, and smiled and laughed and giggled, for many minutes.
I thought we were ready to pay the bill and leave and go back to my apartment and make love, but she had one more thing to say.
"But there's a problem," she said.
Oh, oh. "Does Sarah not approve?" I asked.
[Sarah is Anna's daughter, fathered by Anna's first husband who died a few years back. Sarah, now 20 years old, was an electrician's apprentice, in the union where her father had worked. She's the damn cutest electrician you'll ever meet, 5'3", with honey-blonde hair like her mother, and quite a bundle of firmly-held opinions, expressed without filters, just like her mother. Absolutely charming. She's not the topic of this story, though -- my own daughter Jenny is. So stick with me for a bit. We'll talk about Jenny shortly.]
"On the contrary," Anna said. "I wouldn't have asked without her approval. She loves you and can't wait for you to move in."
"So what's the problem?"
Anna was carefully choosing her words. She had rehearsed this. "What do you think of nudity?" she asked.
I had no idea where this was going, so I answered as simply as I could. "The best things in my life have happened when I was naked. Like, for example, you and I last weekend. Why do you ask such a strange question?"
"It's about Sarah," she said. "We are pretty casual about nudity. We don't close doors and we share the bathroom and go skinny dipping in the pool. Stuff like that. I don't believe in body shaming."
"That's not a big deal," I said. "Lots of mothers and daughters do that."
Anna pursed her lips. "Well, it would include you too. If you're living with us."
"You're worried that I'd be embarrassed if Sarah saw me naked?" I asked.
"Yeh, and if you saw her. It would happen a lot."
"Anna, I have never cared who sees my cock. I'm proud of my cock. But would that be ok with Sarah, to be running around bare-assed in front of a 40-year-old man? And to have my cock waving around in front of her?"
"Nothing embarrasses her," Anna said. "We've been pretty successful about avoiding body shaming."
"And it would be ok with you?" I asked. That didn't seem likely. "I mean, a stepdaughter and stepfather naked together is the classic setup for..."
She interrupted me. "Don't you dare say that word!" she said.
