"She is without a doubt, the most visually sexy and exciting woman I've ever had the honor to be close enough to kiss and touch. Well just pat her ass actually. She's curvaceous, smart, beautiful and oh so dangerous."
"You certainly make her sound dangerous. Now pretend that your mother isn't here and tell me about bedding her."
"I didn't. I was still with Nila then, and Kiley scared her so much I didn't even try."
"Well I'm impressed. Well done, though what a sad loss for you."
"No kidding."
Sally bent down and kissed Owen's cheek as she walked past him and said, "I'm very proud of you Owen."
"Thanks, but then Nila and I had that blow up, so I lost out both ways."
"I do hope you two can get back together again."
Linda joined them, and she kissed Owen's cheek and said, "Good morning, ready for the long drive home?"
"No, because that means I have to put clothes on."
"Speaking of that," Cliff said, "About your housekeeper," and Owen and Sally laughed at him. "No, I mean you've seen each other quite naked, or at least you've seen her that way in the photos, so...well how will that play out when you go home?"
"That's a good question, but I did tell her she could clean or wander the house as naked and as often as she wished, and I told her she could use the pool whenever she was there on Mondays."
"Sounds like a great chance to photograph her."
"Holding his cup halfway to his lips, he smiled and said, "That's right. I know, I could do a keyhole series. You know pretend that I'm photographing her from behind something or through a hole in the wall without her knowledge. Sadly though I really won't see that much of her now, because the parties are done and I'll be busy with work again soon."
"You're going to miss the freedom to come and go and do as you wish."
"I know, but it's time for me to be something of a responsible adult again, at least part of the time."
Lori and Ginny appeared, and they made a production of going to Owen and kissing him good morning, but then they settled down and the six of them talked over coffee. "I'm serious about all of you coming up to see me, and time it so Eva can come too. I'll make sure you at least meet June and Char too."
"And Wendy," Cliff tossed out, much to the entertainment of the others.
"I'll see what I can do about contacting her too Dad, along with Alana and Kathy."
"I hate to say this, but I guess you better include their husbands though," and he laughed with the others at his own words.
Owen reached for Linda's hand then and added, "Plus, we have to make sure that your parents can come.
"This would be like a little family reunion."
"A family party," Lori said and added, "And Owen, you could arrange for the naked guy's to wait on us," and the other women clapped and cheered.
"Okay then, Owen said smiling and getting up, "Wouldn't that be interesting." Then standing between his mom and dad, he said, "Seriously, as soon as things settle down up north, let's see if we can come up with something for all of us."
Sally stood up, and holding him tightly she said, "I wish you didn't have to go, but I understand."
"I promise you that I'll never run and hide again."
She smiled and said, "I thought we weren't going to talk about that."
"I just want to be sure you and Dad know that."
"We do know, and we're so happy that you came down. Go say goodbye to Ginny and Lori, and then your dad and I will walk you two out."
Linda and Owen went over to his naked cousins, and smiling put an arm around each of them. "I just can't come up with the words to explain how glad I am that both of you dropped everything just to come see Linda and me."
"You mostly," Ginny said, "Because it hasn't been that long ago that we were with Linda, and there was no way we were going to miss seeing you and to be here for this long overdue reunion."
"It's amazing how I went from, I remember you and yet I felt disconnected, to...well it was like I stepped out of the real world for a few years and now I'm back, and seeing you two again feels so natural and right."
"We agree, it is natural and right." Then Ginny kissed him and whispered, "Now go home and say nice things about us to Kate."
"Once I'm done talking to her, she'll be pushing me to bring her down here."
"That would be great."
Then Lori kissed Owen gently and said, "We love you."
He smiled and patted her smooth ass and told her, "You keep your sweet butt just like it is sexy one, and I love both of you too," and they all walked Owen and Linda out. With everybody waving back and forth, Owen and Linda pointed the car north and up the road toward Kokomo.
Chapter One Hundred Twenty Nine
Owen was just north of U.S. six when Kate called him and he asked her, "Hey Sis, why aren't you working?"
"I'm at work, but I couldn't wait to hear how things went for you. Where are you?"
"About twenty minutes from home, and everything went great. Couldn't have been better actually."
"Don't be sarcastic now, I want the truth."
"That is the truth Sis."
"I'm speechless. Wait, you spent the night at Mom and Dad's?"
"I did. Well Linda and I did."
"Do they know about you and Linda?"
"They know, and Linda and I slept together."
"This can't be happening. Have you really thought about what you just said?"
"I really haven't had time to do a lot of thinking, but Mom and Dad were great about everything, and we didn't talk about the past very much at all. Lori and Ginny joined us soon after we got there, and we just had a great time just talking and...well talking and laughing actually."
"That isn't how things went the last time we were down there."
"I've been thinking about that as I drive. I still had my...I don't know maybe my ego, or maybe it was my short temper. Hell I don't know, but I was an ass every time I went down there, and sadly I convinced you to follow my lead I guess."
"You don't even sound the same."
"I feel great though Sis, and Lori and Ginny were...well they are fantastic, but oh, do I have a couple of stories for you."
"Great, and I have to keep my mind on my work."
"I'd say come over, but I'm going to call Nila."
"So does that imply you'll see her too?"
"I hope so."
"Damn brother, you're keeping me off balance."
"I'm totally off balance, but I'm working to correct a few things."
"Call me tonight then, and I don't care what time it is. I need to hear the rest of your story and how things went for you and Nila."
"I'll call you, but...Sis, don't go crazy with your thoughts okay? I'm just going to call Nila and maybe we'll go out to eat."
"But talk right? I mean about things?"
"Yes Sis, I promise we'll talk about things."
"Now don't make fun of me. You just don't realize how much you need her Bro."
Owen laughed and said, "I need her, now that's a new angle."
"Don't even try to deny that either."
"We'll talk."
"Okay, I get the hint. Can't you tell me anything about seeing Mom and Dad before I hang up?"
"Okay, try this on. We spent our time naked."
"You didn't."
"Bye Sis."
"No wait, don't you dare do that to me. Naked? Really? As in all of you?"
"Naked, really, all of us, and that includes cousins Lori and Ginny."
"What a fucked up family we are."
"Graphic but accurate Sis. Fucked up yes, but I'm learning to accept that now."
"Well focus on your driving, because if you get killed before I hear the details, I'll never forgive you."
"Tonight Sis. Oh, and I want to talk to you about rigging the whole damn party. Who's names were drawn for example, and you knew who one of the single women were."
"I did not."
"Oh yes, and you covered for Char beautifully."
"How can you say that?"
"Because I had a long talk with Char and she admitted that to me as I undressed her."
"My God brother, do you undress every woman you encounter?"
"Nope, and don't try to change the subject."
"Well okay, so Steph and I knew it was Char, but no harm was done."
"I agree, and in fact, though I haven't talked to her about it, I think she had a whole lot of fun."
"She had a blast. Damn it Owen, I..."
"I know you meant well, but I want to hear all of the details from you, and I mean everything about the whole party."
"Okay, okay, I told Nila everything too by the way."
"That's a start."
"Damn it Owen, the last thing you need in your life is another woman, and sure as hell, you would have drawn Rita or somebody like that and screwed them senseless."
"I'll think about forgiving you, but for now I'll just tell you this. Char didn't tell me anything. In fact she denied it all as long as she could. Bye Sis," and he smiled as he closed his phone.
"It's Maury," Owen heard on his phone five minutes later as he headed north on Michigan Street.
"Hi, how is the project doing?"
"I'd like to meet with you tomorrow if that's possible."
It took Owen no more than a moment to come up with a lie. "I'm out of town visiting family, but I could be back some time Friday."
"Well just come in and see me Monday morning, say...well make it eight o'clock and I'll show you your new office."
"Fantastic, you got the contract."
"I did, so it's time to ramp up and show them what we can do."
"I'm your man Maury, and I'll see you Monday morning."
"Enjoy your visit Owen."
"Oh I have been, and thanks," and again he was smiling as he tucked his phone back into his pocket. Half an hour later he was asleep on his sofa and he woke with a start just after five o'clock, but it took him a few minutes to clear his head before he called Nila.
"Hi, it's me and sorry I'm so late calling, but I fell asleep."
"I hope at home and not while you were driving."
"On the sofa, and I'm still waking up."
"Is it safe for me to ask how your visit went?"
"It's very safe, but how about hearing about everything over dinner, say at Houlihan's?"
"Wonderful. What time should I meet you there?"
"I was going to offer to pick you up if that's okay."
"Of course it is, and I can be ready before you can get here."
"I'll change my clothes and see you in less than an hour." Owen planned to use the drive to Nila's to think about everything he wanted to tell her. In truth though, it would likely turn out to be more like a confession.
Chapter One Hundred Thirty
"You look nice," Owen told Nila when she opened the door.
"Thank you. Would you like a drink before we go?"
"No thanks, I woke up starved for some reason."
She smiled, and closing the door behind her she said, "Then we better go," and it was a pleasant surprise to her when he gently touched the top of her butt as they went down her front walk. "Other than seeing your parents, how are things going for you?"
"Improving. I'll be going back to work Monday for one thing, but only on contract to start. About three to four days a week as it looks right now."
"That's wonderful news."
He opened the car door for her as he said, "It is good news. I need to get some structure back in my life."
"Well just from an outsider, I have to agree with you."
He closed the door for her, and then as he opened his door and slid behind the wheel, he said, "You know me better than anybody else so I don't see you as an outsider at all."
"No, Kate knows you better than I do."
"I'll say maybe to that," and he smiled without elaborating. "Speaking of her, I take it you two are back on speaking terms again."
"I never was mad at her," but Nila didn't add any more to her comment either.
"Nila, because of so many things on our minds, I better tell you something. Char cleans my house in the nude now."
"Really? When did that start?"
"I should say she usually does that. I told her she could use the pool too. I almost never do, so why not?"
"So she cleans and parades around in the buff."
He smiled and said, "Within a minute of me telling her I didn't mind at all, she was out of her dress, and that's all she was wearing."
"And she's married right?"
"That's right, but it's up to her to decide how to handle that."
Their conversation danced around different topics as they drove to the restaurant, but once seated and their drinks ordered, he reached over the table, and taking her hand he asked her, "Ready to hear all of the details of my family reunion?"
"I'm dying to hear how that went."
"Nila, even before I get into that, I have to tell you that I come from an incredibly screwed up family," and leaning over the table, he whispered, "Or as Kate put it earlier, we are a very fucked up family."
Nila smiled and asked, "Did she really phrase it like that?"
"She really did, and she's right, but for some reason I seem to be handling that fact now."
"And before, you were rebelling against that, or them?"
"I don't know, but maybe so. Hateful Uncle Harold certainly did a whole lot of damage a long time ago, but there had to be more than that to cause our family to explode, or maybe more accurately, implode. Whatever, it has taken a whole lot of years for us to come together again. Mom and Dad haven't even been in the porn business for a lot of years. Well for the most part anyway."
Smiling, Nila asked him, "They're what, in their fifties and you say for the most part? I'd think they would have been totally out of that many years ago."
"I guess there's a market of sorts for seniors, but I don't know any of those details. Mom even admitted to posing, or being with...I don't those details either, and I don't want to, but anyway, with an eighteen year old."
"Oh my God. Posing as she uses the term I assume means a whole lot more than what you and I might think of as posing."
"Oh I'm sure of that."
They ordered their dinner and then Owen said, "Well this whole thing won't take lot to share with you actually," and he dove into the finer details of his visit to see his parents and cousins. Even before he'd gone far, he said, "Nila, I slept with Linda."
"I knew about that part."
"I mean while we were down there."
"But...I'm confused. You're parents...I mean they knew about that right?"
"Yes, and Mom said, no problem, but of course sisters and brothers should never do anything like that."
"Oh God, this is crazy. Okay...I mean well...okay, I think the shock of that is past, but thank you for telling me." Then he almost raced through the rest of his story about them being naked through the whole visit including Ginny and Lori. "Owen, if I could get past some of those details, they...all of you would sound like a loving and caring family and nothing out of the ordinary even took place. But my God, you had three naked cousins teasing and touching you."
"I know. Even as everything took place I was kept off balance, but later was when I struggled with everything. On the one side, everything we did and shared seemed so loving and natural, but on the other, conventional mores say we were dancing with the devil the whole time."
"I don't know what to think or say except...well I guess all of you were comfortable with the situation."
"You know that I'm not bashful about nudity, but damn Nila, that was really strange for awhile. How many guys have stared at his naked parents. I even patted my mother's bare ass at one point. I even squeezed her butt when I complimented her on how good she looks. That's weird by about anybody's standards."
"I can't argue with you on that."
"Well anyway, that was my overnight visit to Mom and Dad's."
"And at some point they will all come up here for a visit."
"Not soon as far as I know, but that's the plan."
Nila quietly studied her glass and then said, "I told you that I was glad you were going down to see your parents, and I guess I'm still happy you went, but what an unusual situation for you."
"Yes it was, but here's the aftermath that I've been dealing with. We all agree that my family is beyond strange and different, but I have to accept the fact that it didn't take long before I was comfortable with them and the situation, so that says, that I'm the same way."
"I'm not comfortable accepting that as an inevitable conclusion. You've certainly proven that you're broadminded enough to deal with the whole mess for a number of hours, but that doesn't automatically mean you're just like them. And I'll also say that they're happy with how they live, and they hurt nobody. I assume that your aunt...Eva I think you said. That she's also comfortable with nudism. She must be, knowing her two daughters are practicing nudists with aunt and uncle, and who knows who else."
"That's a good point. I haven't taken the time to even consider other family or friends. Do they join in, does my family get dressed or what?"
"Guess you'll find out one of these days." Then smiling she said, "So you used to play doctor with Lori and Ginny."
Owen looked down, and smiling said, "Yes, but that was a very long time ago."
"But not so long ago that you three have forgotten about that, and they were comfortable enough with you to tease and fondle the guy between your legs."
Owen was still smiling as he told her, "That's right."
"And your dad wants to meet Wendy and who else?"
"Kiley."
"Well silly me, of course it would be her."
"Oh, and of course you and June and...I think there was another one he listed."
"That was nice of you, but he didn't mention me."
"Sorry, but he did mention you."
"That surprises me a lot."
"You ready to stare at a fifty something former porn actor with his pecker pointing at you?"
Smiling, Nila said, "I think I could handle..." and they both laughed before she added, "I mean I could cope with that situation. It really hit me again when you referred to him as a former porn actor. That just seems so unlikely."
"I have a harder time digesting the fact that my mother was...or is, in that industry. I say that again, my mother sucked a lot of cocks and whatever else for money," and he quickly looked around hoping nobody else had heard that comment as Nila's eyes danced. "That's pretty heavy stuff even for me."
She too looked around, but then softly said, "That is very heavy honey, but it's also old news to you."
"I'm still getting my head on straight about that though."
"And you even said that it was great to see her and your dad again. You're putting all of your old issues behind you and that's as it should be. You can't change them any more than they can change you."
"There has been only two people that have had the power to make me want to change."
"Kate and who else?"
"No, not Kate. I do listen to her, but she's just as messed up as I am. No, it's cousin Linda and you."
"Me?"
"Yes, of course you. I love you."
Nila was getting misty eyed as she asked him, "Do you really still love me?"
"Yes I love you."
"But...what about..."
"New York? Yes that is an issue, but if we can put that behind us..."
"But is that something you can do Owen?"
"I'm already doing that Nila, but if we could manage to put that out of our minds for, say about the next ten or twenty years, that might be good."
"Can I ask one question about that mess?"
"Okay."
"I have some of the clothes from then that are very nice and I was so eager to wear for you because they're so sexy."
"Things you wore in New York?"
"I've never worn them except to try them on, and that was in my bedroom."
"If you're asking me honey, I say keep them and maybe one of these days..."
"Are you saying you don't mind if I wear them with you? I just want to be sure we're together on this."
"I'd like to see you wear them." Then smiling he said, "Especially since you said they're sexy."
"They're very sexy, and probably wouldn't be the best things to wear in our area. Could we eat fast and go back to my place to talk more?"
"We could just take dinner with us."
"Let's do that, we have a lot to talk about and get caught up on."
