Chapter 87

"Could you start unpacking the barbeque already, while I have a talk with Veronique?" Charles asked Erik.

"No problem," Erik said. "And if she has some doubts about all of this, just let me know, and I will talk it out with her. Okay?"

"Okay!" Charles responded, and then walked away towards Sandra and Veronique.

"So, joining in with my daughter, I see," Charles said when Veronique looked up at him.

"Hope you don't mind?" Veronique asked.

"Of course not," Charles said smiling. "However, could I have a word with you, in private?"

"Um ... sure," Veronique responded surprised.

"Maybe, you could go help Erik for a moment," Charles suggested to Sandra.

Sandra looked at Veronique, noticed she was okay with it and then smiled at her dad while saying, "Sure, dad!"

While Sandra walked towards Erik, Charles took Sandra's seat to sit on.

"Was this your idea? Or Sandra's?" Charles asked while motioning at Veronique's naked body.

"Sandra's ... but ... I don't mind. To be honest, when she asked me to do this, I was a little thrilled about it. And ... it gives me some clue about how those boys and girls feel when they get punished like this. Not that it is really the same, because I don't need to go out in public like this."

"Well, you did come out into the street. Weren't you afraid to be caught by someone?"

"Sure, but it wasn't too bad. Maybe, because I have some experience with it, but only on public nude beaches," Veronique said with a smile. "However, going out like this in the street, it makes me understand Sandra's feelings a little better."

Charles couldn't help but smile as well, but then he got serious again and said, "The thing I wanted to talk you about, is Erik. He told me about ... um..."

"How he tried to kiss me once?" Veronique asked with a smile.

"Yes," Charles answered. "I didn't know about it, else I hadn't asked him to join us here today."

"It's okay," Veronique responded. "There isn't really bad blood between us two. But I was just a little surprised when I saw him. Especially, because I was ... well ... naked."

"Would you like me to send him home?"

"No, that's not necessary," Veronique answered.

"Well ... He told me that you don't have to worry about him. I mean, you being naked here and all of that. He doesn't have a grudge against you. So, you don't have to be afraid that he will tell anyone at work about it."

Veronique couldn't help but sigh softly when she heard this. Not that she had been expecting him to tell anyone about her being naked here, or about any of the other things he would see her doing her today. However, it's still nice to hear it out loud.

"So? It's okay if he stays?" Charles asked her, just to make sure.

"Of course," Veronique answered, "I have no problem with him seeing me like this."

"Good," Charles said smiling.

Veronique looked at Charles intently, and then asked, "Why do I have the feeling that you have an eternal motive for inviting him here today."

"That's probably because you are a good detective," Charles chuckled.

"So, it isn't just because you are friends?"

"Well, that's part of it. But ... don't tell this to my wife ... but I think that he and Shirley's sister would make a nice couple."

"Interesting," Veronique said while she looked at Erik, who was busy putting the barbeque together while Sandra was helping him. "However, don't you think that Sandra and I aren't going to be too much of a distraction for him?"

Again, Charles let out a chuckle and then answered, "Maybe ... but ... it could also help."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Not completely, but if you two can get him a little excited, while he knows that you two are off-limits. Well, maybe he will direct his excitement towards a nearby woman who is available to him."

"Hmm ... Interesting proposition," Veronique giggled. "So, what you are saying is: 'Get him as horny as we can get him, so he will maybe redirect it towards the only other woman present that could help him to get off?"

"Well, I wouldn't have said it like that, but yes," Charles responded with some fun in his voice.

"Charles! I didn't know you could be so devious," Veronique said with a wicked smile on her face.

"Hey," Charles threw up his hands in defense. "It's not that I had planned it like this, but anything that can help them get together is a good thing."

"Yeah ... sure," Veronique said. "I can see now why you and my parents got along so well."

Charles didn't respond on this, but his smile told everything.

He then asked, "So, you're fine with all of this?"

Veronique just shrugged and answered, "Sure, why not?"

"Good," Charles responded and then surprised Veronique by looking straight at her breasts. "By the way, I'm also starting to understand why Sandra has a thing for you."

"Oh you do, do you?"

"Just take the compliment," Charles said while he leaned back and kept looking at her breasts. "And ... try not to break my little girl's heart. Okay?"

"Don't worry, I think I love her more than she loves me," Veronique answered.

"I'm not so sure about that," Charles responded. He then looked at Erik and Sandra and couldn't deny how his daughter looked. It was obvious that she wasn't really his little girl anymore, but a fully grown woman. 'God! Why do they have to grow up so fast?' he thought.

"Was there anything else you wanted to talk about?" Veronique asked.

Charles looked back at her and answered, "No, that was it. I'll better go help Erik now, so you and Sandra can get back to whatever you two were doing."

He smiled at Veronique and then got up and walked over to where Erik and Sandra were putting some little things together that would eventually turn into the barbeque that Charles had wanted for so long.

Veronique let out a sigh when she looked at them all. She noticed that she felt more relaxed again after this little talk with Charles. Although, she did plan to have a talk with Erik later on, just to make sure that he knew that she was okay with all of this, and ... to make sure he wouldn't tell anyone at work about it.

"So?" Sandra asked when she returned to Veronique. "What was that all about?"

"Nothing special," Veronique answered, but the look that Sandra gave her, made her go on with, "Your dad just wanted to know if I was okay with Erik being here, that's all."

"Why would you have a problem with that?" Sandra asked. "I don't have a problem with it, so why would you?"

"It's not really the same, is it? You have to be naked, because you're punished, but I'm doing it because I want to ... or ... because you asked me to do it," Veronique said with a smile.

"Okay, that's true," Sandra responded. "But ... I can't shake the feeling that there was also another reason for my dad to have a talk with you."

"You're just as observant as your dad," Veronique joked. "But yeah, Erik and I have some history together. He had a little crush on me, and when he tried to kiss me, I pushed him away."

"Oh," Sandra let out surprised.

"It was before anyone at work knew that I was a lesbian," Veronique explained. "However, we never had talked about it afterwards and well, your dad must have noticed something between us at the car, and that must have been why Erik has told him about it. So, your dad just wanted to make sure if I was okay with Erik being around us today. And I told him I had no problems with it."

"I wonder why my dad invited him?" Sandra asked while she looked at Erik and her dad attaching the last few bits to the barbeque.

"Well, keep this to yourself, but your dad is going to try to get Erik and your mother's sister together."

Sandra smiled while she looked at Erik stretching his body after a job well done.

"That could be cool!" Sandra whispered. "I don't know him that well, but I think he could be perfect for her."

"Well, I don't know your mother's sister, but I can tell you, he is really great. That's probably why it clicked between us."

"Well, he can be as great as whatever, but today, I will only have eyes for you," Sandra said, to get their minds off of Erik and back to more pleasant things between her and Veronique. And it worked, because Veronique looked Sandra in the eyes and smiled.

While they waited for Shirley's sister and her two boys to arrive, Charles, Erik and Shirley had a nice talk with each other, while Sandra and Veronique went lying on the beach chairs at the badminton field. They just relaxed a little and enjoyed the warmth of the sun caressing their naked bodies.

Sandra had dozed off a little when she was awakened by the doorbell going off. The moment she heard it, she could feel her tummy react in a funny way. This was it, her cousins were here, and they were going to see her in all her glory now.

"Sandra? Can you let them in?" Shirley asked her daughter.

"Sure, mum," Sandra said, but wasn't that happy about it.

Although, Shirley had asked it, because she thought that it would probably be best to get it over with, straight away. The short pain is always better than postponing the inescapable.

Sandra got up from her chair and went to open the front door.

At the door, Sandra inhaled a few times to calm her nervous. She looked down at her breasts and noticed her nipples were fully erect already. She also noticed something else and thought, 'Fuck! I'm getting horny again!'

Another deep breath, and then, she opened the door.

At first, her aunt and the two boys just stood there, staring at Sandra.
