Frank immediately hollered, "Woohoo, skinny dipping!"
Several of the guys cheered and I heard Kimberly laugh. Scarlett said definitively, "I am NOT getting naked. Sorry!"
Kimberly dismissed her protest, "It'll be dark. Nobody will be able to see anything anyway."
Scarlett didn't respond. I wasn't surprised that Kimberly would propose to skinny dip – she had already essentially done so. I figured that she was trying to lure Scarlett into getting naked. Or maybe she just wanted the nakedness to be a group thing so her own nudity wouldn't seem quite so outstanding. Either way, I wasn't opposed to the idea of skinny dipping
The guys almost immediately started trying to convince Kimberly that it was already dark enough. But Kimberly shot down their efforts. "Hey, you're welcome to go ahead, but I'm waiting", she said.
"It was your suggestion – you need to go first!" Chris said.
It was darkening to be sure, but everything and everyone in the backyard could still be seen quite clearly. If Kimberly dropped her towel and jumped in the pool now everyone would get a great look at her. It would certainly get a lot darker and I presumed that was what Kimberly was waiting for. I figured it would be another half-hour before it would be reasonably dark, so I was surprised when Kimberly announced, "Okay, another ten minutes and I'll do it."
The guys cheered and then we all waited. Most of the guys seemed to be watching Kimberly, but I was focusing on Scarlett. I was trying to figure out whether she would join in if everyone else went skinny dipping. Despite being responsible for taking Kimberly's suit she was real quiet now and I was getting the sense that she was actually quite resistant to the idea of skinny dipping. She confirmed that suspicion by announcing that she was leaving.
The guys groaned and made a variety of attempts to change her mind. Some were nice and said that they wanted her to stay; others were rather mean and essentially called her 'chicken'. It didn't matter. She left. And we didn't realize until later that she still hadn't told us where she hid Kimberly's bikini.
Scarlett's departure dampened the mood temporarily, but then one of the guys announced with great fanfare that it had been ten minutes. I hadn't been tracking the time and I don't know if he really had been, but it was about right. And it still wasn't dark.
The guys cheered and moved closer to Kimberly. Kimberly put up some half-hearted resistance, saying "It's still so light out. Can't we wait another ten minutes?"
Not surprisingly the guys turned down her request for a stay, with one of them saying, "You said ten minutes. It's been more than ten minutes now. Let's do this!"
Obviously Kimberly could've just refused. It wasn't like she was being coerced here. This was her idea. Even her losing her bikini was just the result of her trying to pull Scarlett's off. She was absolutely a willing participant and I knew that she was relishing the attention.
With that said I could still tell that Kimberly was nervous and embarrassed. It clearly wasn't easy to have a bunch of people staring at you, just waiting for you to stand stark naked before them. And these weren't strangers. These were guys from her work that she saw routinely. Frank had seen her naked before and seemed just as eager to see her again. To everyone else, Kimberly was just some cute girl from work. They had already been treated to some underwater views of her lower half. But now Kimberly was about to drop her towel and let them all take in the sight of her naked body.
Kimberly reached for the ends of the towel and gently started pulling them apart. Then, in one quick motion she let the towel unwrap her and tossed it onto a chair. The guys cheered as Kimberly's entire naked body was suddenly before them and there was still plenty of light to see everything. Kimberly looked up at the guys with an embarrassed expression and then spread her arms as if to say, "Okay, take a good look."
And they did. They were only standing a few feet away from her so their view was pretty incredible. Right before them was her fully naked body and they were taking it all in. I kept looking at her bare tits, which bobbed gently from her anxious laughter. But her whole body was exposed and I could see them looking her up and down. Most of them surely never expected to see her like this. Now their eyes were simply feasting on her body.
As they all stared at her, Kimberly appeared to be watching their reactions carefully. I could see her eyes darting from face to face as she savored the moment. But then, after letting them take in the sight of her naked body for nearly a minute, Kimberly ran and jumped into the deep end of the pool. Then Frank whipped down his shorts and jumped in behind her. Everyone else, including myself, then followed and we were all officially skinny dipping.
We swam around for a few minutes but then it seemed like everyone tired and was just hanging on to the side of the pool. Kimberly and I were talking in the deep end where she was fully hidden by the water while the guys were hanging out in the shallow end. Of course before long Kimberly wanted to chat with the guys and we headed over to the shallow end. For some reason I kind of imagined that she'd crouch down to keep her tits covered, but instead she just stood with everyone else. In hindsight I guess it made sense as they had already seen her naked, but at the time it wasn't what I expected.
So there Kimberly stood, right next to these naked guys, fully naked herself with her tits out on display. Jon's eyes were just glued to her tits. The other guys were more subtle, looking at her tits frequently but not simply staring constantly. And Kimberly just stood there smiling and let them all look at her.
Over the next 15 minutes it got dark pretty rapidly. There was a tiny bit of light from the moon and a nearby street light but it was really pretty dark. Even though my eyes had adjusted well to the dark I could only make out silhouettes.
We stayed in the shallow end for a bit longer before getting out and sitting or standing around the pool. Kimberly and the guys continued to drink and chat, often about skinny dipping and Kimberly's nakedness. As for me, I was well aware that there were four naked and drunk guys near my naked and drunk wife, so I stayed pretty close to Kimberly.
At some point I was sitting down resting while Kimberly was standing nearby talking to one of the guys. I wasn't paying a lot of attention to what was going on because the guys seemed to be well-behaved. Suddenly there was a bright flash, illuminating the pool area. We all simultaneously realized that one of the guys had just taken a picture of us. The guys all laughed while Kimberly immediately protested, "Hey! What are you doing?" It sounded more obligatory than genuine.
Chris responded, "I just wanted a picture to remember the occasion."
The guys laughed again but I didn't think that this was really very funny. Kimberly hadn't done anything to indicate that it was okay to take pictures of her naked. "Chris, you need to delete that," I said firmly. The tone in my voice made it clear that this wasn't open to negotiation.
There was a long silence and a noticeable tension in the air. Then Chris said, "Oh, alright," sounding all dejected.
But then Kimberly spoke up, "Nah, it's okay, you can keep it. Just promise not to share it with anyone outside of this group."
Chris quickly promised and checked with me to make sure that I was okay with it. I really didn't think it was a great idea for her coworkers to
