Kara had turned eighteen in her last year of high-school and as a graduation present, her father had taken her to France for a few days. While there, ignoring her father's raised eyebrows, Kara had sometimes gone without a bra, occasionally left an extra button or two undone, and once even gone topless at the beach.
Kara was still wearing what she had slept in. It consisted of a frilly white shorty pajama top and matching panties. It wasn't transparent, but it was thin enough so as to make it obvious she wasn't wearing anything under it. Kara really didn't want to put on any more. She was already imagining what it would be like to wear the sleep set in the back yard while having her second cup of coffee.
Her father's attitude about how she should be dressed was considerably different than her own and he was not likely to be as accepting as he had been on their trip. For breakfast with Daddy, she would at least need to cover herself with a robe. She found one in her closet that was not too old-ladyish. She hoped it would be acceptable.
When John Radcliffe came into the kitchen he was startled by his daughter's unprecedented dress. She had put on a black satin shorty robe over the sleep-set but her legs were bare and there was a hint of cleavage. It was more skin than he thought appropriate but after all she was eighteen now and they were in the privacy of their own home. Exhaling slowly he resignedly said, “All grown up now I guess.”
“Then you don't mind... that I didn't get really dressed.”
Mr. Radcliff shook his head dismissively while looking at his grownup daughter. “I might have thought it more appropriate if the robe had been longer, but...” He swallowed hard. “I guess it's time I quit trying to make those decisions for you.” Kara blushed but nodded her understanding.
After Daddy left, Kara fixed herself a second cup of coffee and headed for the backyard, untying the robe as she went. Sitting down at a table near the pool, she removed the robe and threw it over the back of the chair. A pajama top and panties was not something she had ever before worn outside, even in her own backyard. Kara thought however, that it was exciting to be outside while wearing so little. The skimpy attire did seem appropriate for the Texas sun, and there was minimal risk of being seen.
The single threat to her privacy was a window in the second story of the house next door. It was the bedroom window of Kara's long-time friend Tommy, who should be downstairs at this time of morning. She thought however, that she detected movement at the upstairs window and wondered if he was watching her.
Tommy had become one of Kara's closest friends after the loss of her mother. A couple of years back she had even had a 'crush' on him. Recently however, in spite of being in the same graduating class, the two had not had much contact. In a way, Kara kind of hoped that Tommy was watching.
As it turned out, he was. After noticing movement in the yard next door, Tommy grabbed a pair of binoculars. What he saw caused a stirring in his shorts. The girl next door was splayed out in a deck chair, soaking up the morning sun while drinking her coffee. She looked to be dressed as if she had just gotten out of bed.
Kara had filled out some since Tommy had last spent any time with her, however he could see there was still not an ounce of flab on her. Her breasts were a bit larger than he had remembered, but still not to the point where they were likely to sag. And the legs, 'Oh my God,' he thought. Kara's pajama top was waist length and it looked as if the only other thing she was wearing was a pair of panties. Tommy rushed downstairs and into the backyard.
While sipping her coffee, Kara watched Tommy from the corner of her eye as he entered the backyard and wandered over near the hedge separating their properties. The shrubs forming the hedge were relatively new and still quite thin, having replaced a rotten fence that had been taken down a year or so earlier. Kara, even with her head turned away, could see that Tommy was sneaking occasional glances in her direction. “Hey stranger,” she called to him, “C'mon over if ya got time.”
'Yes!' he thought, but wanted to make it appear as if the meeting was accidental. “I was just checking to see if the hedge needed trimming,” he lied, then continued while working his way through one of the thinner spots, “I'm surprised you're up. Why so early?”
Kara tucked her bare legs under the table, shielding them and her panties from Tommy's immediate view. She was pretty sure however that it had been Tommy at the upper window, and that he was already well aware of how little she was wearing. She suspected, perhaps even hoped, that was the real reason Tommy had been 'inspecting the hedge'. “Sit,” she commanded, “I got up to have breakfast with Daddy.”
Tommy spotted the robe hanging over the back of Kara's chair. 'Must have taken the robe off after her father left,' Tommy said to himself. He continued to analyze the situation. 'But why? To get sun on her shoulders and legs? Maybe... or maybe just because she likes having her clothes off.' Whatever the reason, Tommy was not complaining.
The pajama top was so thin, it was obvious to Tommy that she wasn't wearing a bra. And those panties? Judging from what Tommy had seen from his window, he was pretty sure there wasn't much to them either. As he took the seat on the opposite side of the table he remarked, “Haven't seen ya in while, you been gone?”
Kara found it intoxicating to be so bare, almost naked, while outside, talking to her neighbor. “We just got back from France. Daddy took me there for my graduation present.”
Tommy was studying the girl across the table. It was a good thing the table was hiding the physical manifestation of his thoughts. He spoke while continuing his imaginations. “I knew you guys were gone last week but I had no idea. I mean France... cool.”
The shoulder straps of Kara's sleep set had slipped from her shoulders when she first sat down. She had left them that way as she liked the feeling of having so much exposed, especially now that Tommy was so obviously enjoying the view. Kara leaned forward with her elbows on the table and let her top slip even lower. She asked, “Did you miss me?”
Tommy gasped, his mouth hanging open. Kara's top had very nearly fallen off and now just barely covered her nipples. Focused on the sight of her nearly naked breasts, Tommy stammered, “Uh... It's kinda hard to miss someone you never see.”
Kara knew that Tommy was seeing quite a lot of her right now, but responded as if there was nothing out of the ordinary. “We used to see each other every day.” She continued to lean forward.
Tommy was totally taken back by the view he was being afforded, yet Kara didn't appear to be concerned in the slightest. “Yeah,” he managed to eke out without looking up, “But I guess we kinda went our separate ways during the last coupla years.”
Kara took her elbows from the table and put her hands on the arm of the chair, as if to get up. Continuing to afford Tommy a nearly unobstructed view down her top, Kara acknowledged, “You're right ya know, it has been that long. I got so busy with gymnastics, drama club, yearbook and a bunch of other stuff that I almost never got home.”
“Uh... parties too,” he added. Tommy was still staring and still having trouble with his speech.
Kara was well aware of the effect she was having but continued her charade. “Yeah, that too, but you weren't at any of them.”
Tommy at long last raised his eyes and looked into Kara's. “No. My friends and I were probably studying, or fooling with computers, or -”
Kara stood up abruptly and took a couple of steps toward the house, then stopped. She had moved far enough so that Tommy now had an enticing view of what she had been hiding under the table. She turned slowly, giving him ample time to look her over. “I'm going to get myself another cup of coffee. Would you like one too?” Kara watched as Tommy's eyes moved slowly down and then up her bare legs, fixating on the spot between her legs.
Tommy imagined running his hands along Kara's smooth calves, up her muscular thighs and over her butt-cheeks. As he focused on the narrow strip of cloth between her legs he could see it was freshly damp. Tommy knew that Kara was as excited as he was.
They were both grown up now, but it didn't look like the game had changed much. Kara's teasing now was certainly not of the innocent type it had been in years past, but it was still teasing and she was probably about to make some excuse for leaving him hanging, just like she had always done. It was time for him to turn the tables.
“Thanks, but I should be going. Stuff to do for Mother, ya know, but I could make it tomorrow morning... that is, if you want.” Although he didn't really want or need to leave, he was going to make Kara wait, at least until tomorrow.
Kara was pretty sure Tommy didn't really have anything he needed to do. He was paying her back for ignoring him for so long. That, she knew, had been a mistake, and knew now that she was going to have to make up for it. She knew also though, that it would be an even worse mistake, to try and do it in one day. “Okay, tomorrow morning then,” she reluctantly responded, “As soon as Daddy leaves.”
As Tommy got up to go, it was Kara's turn to look. Tommy might be a geek, like her girl-friends had said, but he was also quite a hunk. Before he turned away, Kara noticed that Tommy not only had acquired a nice package, but from the look of it tenting out the front of his shorts, he still enjoyed being teased. She knew though, that it couldn't be just teasing.
*****
When John Radcliffe entered the kitchen the next morning, Kara turned from the preparation counter where she had been standing and posed as if for a picture. Today she had dressed more like she might be headed to the mall. She was wearing a print blouse and a pair of tasteful shorts.
Mr. Radcliffe realized his daughter had probably chosen her attire with his sensitivities in mind. “Now that's more like you should be dressed with your 'old man',” he said cheerily. “What's for breakfast?”
Kara beamed. “Sit down and you'll find out.” She carried the pancakes and sausage to the table, than sat down across from him.
The conversation initially was about what Kara had prepared for breakfast, eventually gravitating to a discussion of who he was meeting that day at work. Finally, they got to talking about her. “So tell me, what did you do yesterday,” Mr. Radcliffe quizzed.
“Tommy came over when I was sitting on the deck. We talked for a while.”
“Afternoon?”
“Just after you left. I was finishing my coffee.”
Mr. Radcliffe hesitated, remembering quite vividly what Kara had been wearing when he left the previous morning. “I guess you got dressed before you went out to the backyard,” he said hopefully.
“Well, no, not exactly,” Kara replied sheepishly.
Mr. Radcliffe did not want this to come off as if he were being critical. He was sure that Kara had behaved sensibly and wanted to show his understanding. “Well, you did have the robe on.” Instead of Kara nodding her confirmation, she turned her head and looked away. “You did still have the robe on, didn't you,” he asked more forcefully, already afraid of the answer.
Kara looked back at him and replied in a similarly forceful manner, “No, Daddy, I didn't, but I can explain.”
John Radcliffe bit his lip, trying to contain his anger. “I think, I'd rather you didn't,” he said through his teeth. “Tommy must have -”
“What?” Kara shouted. “Must have what?” She knew she was in trouble. Kara paused, struggling with what to say next. Lowering her voice a bit, but still exhibiting considerable belligerence, she taunted, “You do approve of him don't you.”
Mr. Radcliffe felt he had been too judgmental. He attempted to steer the conversation back to a less confrontational place. Adopting a somewhat more friendly tone he replied, “Well yeah, I think so, but didn't you tell me a couple of years ago you didn't like him anymore.”
Kara sensed her father was trying to be understanding. She tried to sound less argumentative herself. “I think I changed my mind.”
“I would hope so! With what I suspect you were wearing under that robe, you better like him a lot.”
“Daddy, it isn't like you're thinking. But he is coming over again today... after you leave.”
“Well at least you're wearing clothes today,” he snapped. Mr. Radcliffe looked away. He knew he'd let his emotions get out of hand again. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. “On the deck?” he asked.
Kara sensed that her father really was trying to be understanding. “Uh huh. What are you thinking, Daddy.”
“I'm thinking,” he said with a sigh, “I wish I had a girl like you next door when I was growing up.”
“That is the nicest thing you could have said, Daddy. Somehow, I knew you'd understand.” Kara didn't think her father would have been so understanding, if he had known she planned to change into something less conservative, as soon as he left. She wasn't in the habit of hiding things from him, but being forthcoming on this was going to have to wait, at least for a day or two. John Radcliffe got up from the table, kissed his surprisingly mature daughter on the forehead and left for work.
After he was gone, Kara began thinking about her meeting with Tommy. Having been practically naked with him yesterday had been a real turn on, almost as much as that stranger putting suntan lotion on her at the beach in France. She'd gotten wet with Tommy staring at her almost bare tits, imagining his hands, maybe even his mouth, sliding over them and toying with her nipples.
She returned to her room and stripped off the shorts and blouse, bra too. She replaced them with a loose fitting, tissue thin, blue print sleep shift, its wrinkled texture attesting to its intended use. It was cut low, extending upward to just below her armpits and only slightly above the swell of her breasts.
The shift could probably have been supported by Kara's breasts alone, but it was intended to be held in place by two wide shoulder straps, attached near the top of the shift with four large buttons, two each in the front and back.
The shift was also short, only an inch or so below her panties. With what she had been wearing yesterday, she couldn't have gone without panties, but today, with the shift covering all but her legs, it might be fun. Kara got all tingly at the thought of having coffee with Tommy while being totally bare under the shift.
Kara had slept in her panties and was still wearing them as she returned to the kitchen. She hadn't intended to go quite so far, at least not today, but the excitement she felt at the thought of doing so, overcame her. She slid the panties off and dropped them on the table.
Kara looked out the window. Tommy was already seated at the outdoor table, his back to the house. Kara poured two cups of fresh coffee and put them on the table, next to the panties. Then, before opening the door, she slipped the shift's shoulder straps down on her arms. “Can I join you,” she needlessly asked as she stepped out.
Tommy turned at the sound of Kara's voice. She was even more beautiful than he had imagined. “I was hoping you might. At least that was the plan,” he answered.
Kara pulled a chair from the table, not the one across from Tommy, but the one closest to him. “Really? I got the impression yesterday that I was boring you.”
'Yeah sure,' Tommy thought, 'And from the looks of things, today might be even more interesting.' He continued the game, “Yeah, well, I had other things on my mind.”
Kara moved her chair back from the table and faced it toward the sun, directly over Tommy's shoulder. “I poured it but then forgot it. Will you go in and get the coffee please. It's on the kitchen table.”
Tommy noted with delight that every movement Kara made as she wrestled the chair into position, caused the top of the shift to inch lower. “Sure, get yourself fixed. I'll be right back.”
Tommy stepped into the kitchen and went straight to the table. He reached for the steaming cups of coffee, but hesitated when he saw the panties. He picked them up and found them still warm. Kara had just taken them off.
'Oh my God,' he thought, 'There isn't anything under that flimsy shift she's wearing.' He held the panties to his nose and inhaled the aroma, then dropped them back on the table. Snatching the cups of coffee, he made his way carefully to the door.
Kara hadn't been overly concerned about her top slipping, but she had worried that a gust of wind might lift the hem of the shift before she got seated. She knew that Tommy would find the panties next to the coffee and know she was bare under the shift, but she wasn't planning to flash him. For today at least, it would be exciting enough for both of them to just know she wasn't wearing anything under the shift.
Kara had just gotten seated when Tommy kicked open the back door and came out juggling the cups of coffee. As his eyes darted from one cup to the other, Kara positioned herself in the chair facing where he would sit.
Tommy put the cups on the table and looked at Kara as he sat down. He felt a stirring in his pants as he thought about how bare she was under the shift, even more so because she obviously wanted him to know. His eyes went to the flimsy piece of fabric that barely covered Kara's pussy.
Kara's legs were spread, ostensibly to get some sun on her inner thighs, but actually to come as close to exposing herself as possible without really doing it. She knew where Tommy was looking and it added to her excitement.
He continued to stare between her legs. “Does your father know we are having coffee together.”
Kara knew it had been smart to pull the shift a little lower on her breasts, providing extra material to keep covered what Tommy probably thought of as her 'pussy'. “Of course,” she replied, “We even talked about it.”
Tommy's eyes drifted upward until they were fixed on her breasts. There was not as much showing as there had been yesterday, but the sight was still pretty spectacular. “Yesterday too?” he asked while staring at her chest.
Basking in Tommy's attention, Kara was as sexually excited as she had ever been. She felt as if she was about to burst. Amidst her deepening breaths she managed to reply, “Uh huh... and before you ask... no... he doesn't know how I'm dressed. I was dressed differently for breakfast. But he does know about yesterday. I made the mistake of telling him.”
Tommy's eyes jerked upward to meet Kara's. 'Whoa,' he thought. “And he doesn't care?” he asked incredulously.
“Of course he does. But he is way more understanding than your mother.”
“What about my mother?”
“You've forgotten about the time she caught us?”
“When we were skinny-dipping in your pool ya mean.”
“Uh huh. A coupla years ago.”
“Yeah, we must have been sixteen then. I remember noticing how girly you'd become.”
Kara turned up her nose. “Girly? I don't remember having a lot to brag about.”
“Well, you didn't have curves like you do now,” Tommy said, his eyes roaming over Kara's barely covered body, pausing at the spot between her bare thighs, “But it was still enough to get my motor running.”
Kara grinned. “And just what was it about me that got your motor running.”
“Do I have to say?”
Kara's lips opened into a wide smile.
