The Cost of Curiosity (Chapter 6: Slumber Party Spying Apr 30)

[IdentityUnknown]

The Summer was almost over. School had started up again, but there were still a couple of weeks of hot, sunny weather before the autumn set in. Nick was still in the process of getting to know some of his new classmates, but there was really just one that was on his mind. He’d never met Natalie before this year, now he couldn’t seem to get her out of his head. He wasn’t sure if it was her dirty blonde hair or something about the way her glasses framed her eyes, but Nick was smitten.

Natalie had been friendly enough toward Nick so far, but he was sure she hadn’t really noticed him or how much he liked her. It came as a complete surprise when a conversation about the hot weather and wishing he could go for a swim had led to Natalie inviting Nick over to her house because her family have a swimming pool. Callie had some thoughts as well. Her idea sounded crazy. “Ask her if she wants to try skinny dipping.” As if it were that simple. Then again, Molly had said he should have been more direct and fair, and skinny dipping certainly sounded like both.

That Saturday, Nick was dropped off at Natalie’s house wearing his green swim trunks and a white T shirt. He rang the doorbell and stood there fidgeting nervously. Was this just a friendly hangout, or was it possible she liked him too? Nick never felt like he had been that lucky before. He had to play this carefully.

Natalie answered the door. She was wearing a pair of loose black shorts over a purple one piece swimsuit. She greeted Nick with a smile. “Hi Nick! Come on in!” She held the door open and Nick entered.

“Thanks again for inviting me, Natalie!” Nick followed her through the house, looking around a bit as he did so. He didn’t see anyone else around.

“Do you wanna hang out for a bit, or go straight to the pool?” Natalie asked her guest.

“Let’s go for a swim!” Nick said enthusiastically. Even if he hadn’t had a crush on Natalie, he would still have been excited to swim. She led him out the back door to the pool area, and over to the table.

“We’ve got a couple of towels over here for when we need them. You can leave stuff over here if you need too.” Nick took off his shirt while Natalie was taking off her glasses. He jumped into the pool with a splash, surfacing just in time to see Natalie taking off her shorts. For a few seconds Nick was in heaven. She was facing the table, away from him, and had bent over to pull her shorts down. She was fully covered by the swimsuit, but the view was still a godsend for Nick. He quickly looked away when she stood up, and hoped to god she hadn’t noticed him looking.

Natalie jumped into the pool, staying underwater for a few seconds before popping up to splash water at Nick by surprise. Nick splashed water back at her, and so began a splash war that would last for the next twenty minutes. After that they alternated between playing Marco Polo, lounging on floats, and just sitting in the shallower end of the pool enjoying the cool water. They’d been having a lot of fun together, and Nick decided he was going to ask. Worst case scenario he’d play it off as a joke. “Hey, Natalie, you know what ‘skinny dipping’ is, right?”

“What? You mean… like… swimming naked?” She was practically whispering by the end of that sentence.

“Yeah, have you ever tried it?” Nick asked, lowering his voice to match hers.

“No, can’t say I have, why?” Natalie was genuinely intrigued to find out where he was going with this. Was he really suggesting what she thought he was?

“Do you… maybe… want to?” Nick asked, trying to put on a playful voice in the hope it would help sell the idea he was joking. In the end he just came across as that much more awkward and nervous. Natalie found it kind of endearing. If circumstances were different, she might have considered it.

“What? Now? With you? I-don’t be ridiculous, we can’t! What if Heather comes out and sees us?” Natalie quietly said to a confused Nick.

“Who?” Who’s Heather?” She hadn’t mentioned anyone else being around before.

“My sister.” Natalie answered. “She just started high school, you wouldn’t know her. I should have mentioned that she was here.” Natalie looked a bit embarrassed.

“Oh! Don’t worry about it! I was just messing around anyway.” Nick backtracked. Natalie laughed it off. Nick wasn’t sure she believed him, but she seemed to be playing along.

About fifteen minutes later, while they were lying on floats, the back door of the house opened. Nick looked up to see a teenage girl in a bikini. “Heather? I thought you had homework to do” Natalie said, surprised that her sister had joined them.

“It’s almost done. Thought I’d take a break, come check on you two.” Heather responded. “You’re Nick, right?”

“Y-yeah, hi. You’re Natalie’s sister?” Nick was quite distracted by Heather’s revealing choice of swimsuit. She knew he would be, that’s why she put it on. It was working better than she had hoped. Boys were so easy.

“Yep. Just ignore me, I’ll try to stay out of your way.” Heather said as she stepped into the shallow end of the pool. She knew what she had to do as soon as she overheard this twerp trying to get her little sister naked. She just had to wait for the right moment. If he wanted to swim naked, she could make that happen for him. This was going to be fun.

She watched their floats drifting around for a while. She could make this work if she timed it just right. She waited until Nick’s float drifted far enough to the deep end of the pool and then leapt into motion. She went underwater while Nick and Natalie were making small talk and swam as fast as she could toward Nick’s float. Nick was caught completely by surprise when she sprang up from the water and flipped his float over. She stayed above the surface long enough to take a breath and hear Natalie yelling “Heather! Leave him alone!” Then she dove back under. She couldn’t leave the job half done.

Nick was dazed, one second he had been lazily lying on a float, and the next he was tumbling underwater, trying to figure out which way was up. He thought he heard Natalie’s voice, but couldn’t make out what she said. He started swimming toward the surface. Once again, he didn’t see Heather coming. When she grabbed his trunks, he practically swam right out of them. He didn’t even notice at first. She took a good look before swimming away. Nick noticed he was naked shortly after he reached the surface. He saw Natalie staring at him in shock, and spotted Heather walking up the stairs out of the pool, green swim trunks in hand. She sat down at the table and said “Why so shy now? You sounded so eager to swim naked earlier! Well now you can swim naked all you want! We won’t mind, will we Natalie?”

Natalie rushed to climb out of the pool, yelling “Heather! Give him back his shorts!” She ran to the table where her sister was waiting.

“Sure! If he’s all done skinny dipping he can just come over here and get his shorts back, with his hands behind his back!” Heather said with a cruel laugh.

Natalie knew she should object, but she couldn’t help a part of her mind getting distracted by the idea of Nick doing exactly what Heather had just said. As guilty as it made her feel, she didn’t hate the idea. Finally she found her voice and said “That’s too far, Heather!”

Unfortunately, Heather had noticed her hesitation. “You want to see it too! Don’t lie, I can tell! You want to see him walk up here with all his junk hanging out!” Natalie turned bright red being called out like that. “Just say it and he’ll have to do it. Unless he wants to go home naked, I guess.”

Natalie couldn’t do anything. Heather was too much bigger than her. She hoped Nick wouldn’t hate her for this. “I’m really sorry Nick, I think you’ll just have to get it over with.” She felt terrible that she couldn’t help him, but she also felt a thrill at what that meant. She couldn’t get him out of it.

Nick knew Natalie couldn’t just get his trunks back for him, but knowing that didn’t make it any easier to walk out of the pool naked in front of his crush and her older sister. As he stepped up onto the deck around the pool with both hands clamped over his groin, Heather stopped him. “Ah ah ah, I said hands behind your back. You don’t take another step toward your shorts until we can see your dick!” She said.

Nick looked at the two girls. Heather was openly staring at him, laughing at his obvious discomfort. Natalie, meanwhile, was pretending to look away. Every now and then she would try to steal a glance at Nick without being noticed. She wasn’t succeeding. Her face was turning almost as red as Nick’s. Nick let out a resigned sigh, then put his hands behind his back and started walking again. Heather started laughing more while still openly staring, now right at his private parts. He saw Natalie try to sneak another peek. He was pretty sure she saw that he saw her too. She looked right at his eyes for just a second, then lowered her gaze back down to his penis before looking away again. Nick finally reached the table, and Heather said “You’re welcome for the free show sis! Hope you enjoyed it!” Then she tossed Nick his shorts and got up to go inside. As she left, she said “It was lovely meeting you Nick!”

Nick got his shorts on as quickly as he could. Natalie tried to apologize for everything that had happened, but Nick was sure she would think less of him now. He dried off and called his parents to pick him up.

Natalie watched him leave, furious at her sister. She was convinced Heather had ruined her chances of getting him to like her.

—————

The whole time Nick had been telling the story, he had been watching Natalie react to it. She still wasn’t laughing at him, or making fun of him. She was just sitting there smiling. Not a wicked, cruel smile like a few of the other girls here, but a happy smile. Maybe her finding out about his crush wasn’t the worst. He still would have preferred for her to find out in pretty much any other way, but maybe the results wouldn’t be all bad.

“Wait a minute!” Callie said. “You said it was only ‘one girl at a time’ didn’t you?”

“When you were asking about doing it myself, on purpose. That story doesn’t count.” Nick replied. It was a technicality, but a valid one. There was a murmur as a few girls discussed it among themselves.

“Was that the most girls you’ve ever been naked in front of at once?” Callie asked. She knew it wasn’t. Nick could hear his younger sister and her friends start to giggle. They knew too.

“No, it wasn’t.” Nick answered, knowing full well that Callie would make him tell the story.

Callie gave an exaggerated gasp and “It wasn’t? Then what was Nick? Tell us about the most girls to see you naked at one time! Before tonight, that is! I have a feeling we’ll be breaking that record!”

“It was Sherry’s slumber party…”

[NudeBaG]

You’re on a roll!
Keep going!

[Jeepman89]

Love it!

[IdentityUnknown]

The semester had seemed to fly by for Nick. A lot of it felt the same as previous years. The big exception to that was a certain health lesson given to the students in Nick’s grade. Now, like Callie before, he had seen some drawings and diagrams in a textbook. He at least had an idea of the female anatomy now. However, his curiosity wasn’t satisfied. If anything it had gotten worse as he now had the added confusion of trying to understand what those diagrams were actually representing.

Nick didn’t have a lot of prospects for getting clarity either. Callie seemed to lose interest in helping him, or she was just running out of ideas. Things had gotten kind of awkward with Natalie after they swam together. She was still friendly toward him, but they didn’t really talk to each other as much anymore.

But Nick hadn’t given up. He was still looking for opportunities wherever he could, but he kept coming up short. One Saturday morning that November, Callie knocked on his bedroom door. When Nick opened the door, she looked a bit annoyed. She said “Hey, in case you didn’t know Sherry is having a slumber party this weekend, so Suzy, Anna, Erin, Kelsey, and Megan will all be here. Thought you should know.” Nick thanked her and closed the door.

The gears started turning in Nick’s head. There would be five additional little girls in the house that night which meant some extra noise and disruption, but also meant there might be sleepover games, or dares, or other mischief. Nick started to wonder about what he might see if he managed to be in the right place at the right time. He started to think Callie had told him just to put these ideas in his head. He couldn’t be sure, but it didn’t really matter that much to him. He wasn’t even thinking about whether to try and spy on them anymore. He was just trying to come up with how.

Over the next few hours Nick considered several different ideas. None of them quite qualified as a fully formed plan, though. All his ideas came with a significant risk. If he was caught he’d definitely be in some big trouble, but he decided that getting grounded would be worth it if he managed to get a peek out of it.

While Nick was scheming, His little sister was welcoming her friends. Suzy arrived first. She and Sherry had always gotten along well, likely because they had almost identical personalities. The next to arrive was Erin, the loudest of the group who always said what she was thinking. Anna was next. Nick thought Anna couldn’t have a mean bone in her body, she was always nice to everyone. Megan got there next. She was the smart one who always found a way to get what she wanted. The last was Kelsey, the shyest and most quiet of the group.

Once the girls had all arrived, they retreated to Sherry’s room for a while. Nick could hear them giggling and laughing from his room. He had settled on a plan, but it was going to have to wait until later. For now he would have to bide his time and try to stay out of the girls way.

Nick’s mother, Louise, was also stressing about having 5 extra children in the house for the next day or so. Dinner would be easy enough to deal with, she could just order some pizza. The problem was the fact that Nick’s father had needed to leave town for work on short notice, so it fell to her alone to supervise all of the kids for the weekend. She hoped Callie and Nick would at least have enough sense to behave themselves so she could focus on the half dozen eight year olds she was responsible for.

The day was chaotic, but only in the ways that were expected. The girls swung wildly between so loud they couldn’t be ignored to so quiet you’d think they were up to something. They didn’t stay in Sherry’s room for very long either. They played outside, they took over the living room, Nick felt lucky that at least his room remained a sanctuary. He was getting more and more on edge waiting for the time to make his move.

Dinner time came around, and Louise had ordered some pizzas for the kids. The girls gathered in the living room to eat and watch a movie. Nick wasn’t that interested in the movie, but he knew it was long enough to serve his purpose. By the time the girls had finished eating and the movie had ended, it would be close to bed time for them. Nick knew the next thing they would do would be going to Sherry’s room to change into pajamas. If everything went well, they’d never know they had an audience.

Nick ate his pizza restlessly. He knew he had plenty of time to eat dinner normally, but he was growing anxious to put his plan into action. It was getting close to time. He finished eating and took his plate to the sink. There was about an hour left in the movie and Nick decided to use that time to his advantage. He headed to the bathroom. He was going to be stuck for a while, unable to just get up to go, so he decided it would be a good idea to go beforehand. Once that was done he went to his room to quickly change into his own pajamas, and then peeked out the door into the hallway.

No one was around, it was time to move. As quietly as he could, Nick snuck down the hall to Sherry’s bedroom door. He could hear his heart beating in his ears. This was the most dangerous part of the plan. If he was caught sneaking into Sherry’s room he’d have no excuse. Every creek and groan of the floor beneath his feet sounded unbearably loud. At last, he entered his sister’s room.

Sherry’s room, like Nick’s, had a closet with a sliding door. Sherry’s closet, however, didn’t have anything of hers in it. It was mostly used to store some old clothes and things that there wasn’t any room for in their parents’ closet. As such, Nick didn’t see any reason for the girls to open the closet, making it a perfect place for him to hide. He slid the door open carefully, trying not to make a sound. He sat down on the carpet inside the closet and closed the door most of the way, leaving a narrow crack that he could see out through, and waited.

The closet was dark and kind of dusty. Nick knew it wouldn’t be that much longer until the movie ended, and then the show would begin. All he had to do was sit here and wait for Sherry and her friends to come change their clothes with him watching. Then he would sneak back out once they went to sleep. What could possibly go wrong?

After what felt like hours of waiting, Nick finally heard the girls approaching. Nick held his breath and watched as they all entered the room and closed the door. Sherry got her PJ’s out of the dresser and the other girls retrieved theirs from their various bags. This was the moment he had waited all day for. The girls started to undress. Nick’s eyes went wide.

The girls were all facing different directions, giving Nick different angles on all of them. As Sherry took off her shirt, Nick got a small thrill from seeing a girl’s bare chest. He watched the other girls shirts come off as well, but none of these girls were old enough to have breasts yet. They looked just like boys with their shirts off, but Nick still knew he wasn’t supposed to see them, and that still made it exciting to the boy.

Erin, Anna, and Megan all put their pajama tops on next, but Sherry, Suzy, and Kelsey all continued to strip, leaving them in just undies before Nicks eyes. He couldn’t believe it. His plan was working! This was more than he had ever seen before! Erin, Anna, and Megan all stripped off their bottoms once they had their tops on, revealing their underwear to Nick as well. Sherry and Suzy had started to put on their PJ’s, but Kelsey hadn’t.

She was still standing there in just panties and Nick was wondering why. She was the closest to the closet, but was facing directly away from him. He saw her hands move toward her waist. Was she going to take off her underwear too? It seemed like too much to hope for. As Erin picked up her pajama pants to put them on, she looked over to Kelsey and said “Ooh! Look everyone! Kelsey’s gonna get naked!” Anna and Megan continued to change, but Sherry, Suzy and Erin were now all staring at Kelsey.

Kelsey got really flustered, saying “Guys! C’mon! Stop staring!” Which elicited some giggles from her friends. Nick never would have expected the shy Kelsey to be the one in this group that doesn’t wear underwear under her pajamas. Kelsey saw that the other girls were just going to keep watching until she took off her panties. She sighed with a huff and, to Nick’s further surprise, turned around to face the closet door. Nick had a perfect view of her bare chest and the front of her panties. It seemed like a miracle to him. He could never have imagined this going better. He got tense. This was it! It was really happening. He was so focused he didn’t notice he had bumped the old coat hanging above him in closet. He felt the dust start to tingle in his nose. Kelsey put her thumbs into the waistband of her panties.

And then Nick sneezed.

Kelsey’s eyes bugged out, followed by the other girls. Kelsey ran to the far side of the room, putting as many girls as she could between her and the closet. Suzy, having finished changing, walked over to the closet. When she opened the door, all the girls screamed.

Louise was cleaning up after dinner. As she put the pizza boxes in the trash, she heard screaming from the other side of the house. She had been hearing the girls screaming, yelling, squealing, and giggling all day, but this scream was different. She ran to Sherry’s room and could immediately tell what had happened when she saw several of the girls partially undressed, Kelsey in particular rushing to get dressed while blushing bright red, and Nick sitting in the open closet looking like a deer in headlights. She stepped up to the closet door, glaring down at Nick and obstructing his view while the girls finished getting dressed. “Nicholas Folston what the hell do you think you are doing!? I thought someone had gotten hurt!”

“That jerk was spying on us!” yelled Erin.

“He was watching us change!” Sherry added.

“What do you have to say for yourself?” Megan demanded.

“I’m sorry! I was just curious!” Nick tried to defend himself, but he could already tell that battle was lost.

“Curious? About what!?” Suzy asked, having a pretty good guess what the answer was. Nick hung his head and stayed quiet, until a jostle and glare from his mother made it clear that answering this question was not optional.

Finally, he muttered “Y’know, about girls.” The girls blushed at his admission, and Kelsey, now dressed in her PJ’s, got mad.

“You… you creep!” She yelled at him.

“So you’re curious about girls Nick?” Louise took control of the conversation. “I bet they are pretty curious about boys too, isn’t that right girls?” The girls all answered positively, and Louise continued “But I don’t see them sneaking into your room to watch you change. You have to understand that spying on little girls is never acceptable, Nick!”

“If he was in there the whole time, that means he saw all of our undies!” Megan pointed out. Louise looked down at her son.

“Is that right, Nick?” she asked. The boy just nodded sullenly. “I should ground you forever. But you probably knew that might happen, didn’t you? We need to make sure you never do something like this again.” She looked to the girls, then back to Nick. “Tell you what, you’re curious about them and they’re curious about you. I think you should satisfy some of their curiosity!” It took a minute for Nick and the girls to realize what Mrs. Folston was saying. The full weight of it hit when she pulled Nick out of the closet and up to his feet before saying “Take off your pajamas Nick.”

The girls all squealed with delight at this reversal. Nick protested “What? Right here in front of…” Louise cut him off.

“Right in front of the girls you were spying on? Yes, that is the point. You saw their underwear, it’s only fair that they see yours. Now get those PJ’s off!” Louise put her foot down. This would be Nick’s punishment and there would be no negotiating. Nick knew better than to try and talk his way out of it. He slowly pulled his shirt over his head. The girls started giggling at him. Even kind hearted Anna seemed to be enjoying his punishment, albeit somewhat less than the others. Nick lowered his pajama pants and stepped out of them, leaving him in just his white briefs in front of his mother, his little sister, and five of her best friends.

Louise made him stand there letting the girls look him over for a minute or two. They all seemed to be smiling more now, with the shoe on the other foot. Nick noticed Megan getting a particularly mean smile, though. Before he could wonder what she was up to, she said “Mrs. Folston? You should know that if we hadn’t caught him when we did, he would have seen Kelsey take off her panties.” Kelsey went red as a tomato at that.

“Is that true Kelsey?” Louise asked. Kelsey, red as she could be, just nodded timidly. Louise turned back to glare at her nearly nude son. Now she felt that he wasn’t quite naked enough. This lesson needed to be unforgettable. “You know what that means, Nick?” Nick shook his head. All the girls gasped when Louise said “Lose the underwear.” Nick balked, prompting Louise to say “That’s right, you are going to satisfy all of their curiosity about boys!”

Even Kelsey was all smiles as Nick reluctantly reached for his waistband. She was still blushing, and terribly embarrassed at how much Nick had seen, but this would make things a little bit more than even. Nick slowly lowered his briefs to his ankles and stepped out of them, trying to cover his privates with his hands. Louise was annoyed. Nick knew full well she wasn’t going to let him cover up like that. She decided to let him sweat for a minute, and turned back to the girls. “Have any of you girls ever seen a naked boy before now?” She asked. The girls looked at each other before one hand went up. It was Anna’s.

“I’ve seen my baby brother when he was getting his diaper changed.” She said matter of factly.

“Well then, this should be quite the learning experience for you girls. Now pay close attention. Nick, hands at your sides.” Nick looked at the girls, watching him expectantly, and then back at his mom who showed no signs of letting him off the hook. Blushing like Kelsey had been earlier, Nick lowered his hands, and all the girls looked right at his private parts.

“So that’s what boys have down there?” Sherry asked.

Anna answered “Yeah, though Nick’s is a little different than my brothers.”

“It’s funny looking.” Erin said, before breaking out into more giggles.

Suzy leaned in for a slightly closer look. “Oh, the end is all purple!” she said. Megan and Kelsey were both silent. Megan was staring at Nick with a look of smug satisfaction at having made this part happen. Kelsey, meanwhile, was just staring at Nick’s most private parts and smiling. She had definitely gotten even with Nick now. Nick thought it might stop there, but Louise intended to make this properly educational for the girls.

“Now girls, this a lesson, remember?” Louise said. “Let’s start with basics, this…” and Louise indicated Nick’s member “… is Nick’s penis. And the little bag under it contains his testicles, or balls as you might have heard them called.” The girls hung on Louise’ every word, eager to learn as much as she was willing to teach them. This was turning into one of the best sleepovers ever. Louise answered some of the girls questions, confirming that boys use their penis to go to the bathroom, that the testicles are extremely sensitive, which was why hitting boys in the groin hurt them so much. She even considered explaining erections to them, but Nick was apparently not old enough to demonstrate quite yet so she decided it best to let them learn about that another time. Having made the girls feel better about Nick spying on them and also satisfying their curiosity, Louise let Nick get dressed and sent him to bed.

Nick tried to get to sleep, but he could hear the girls still occasionally giggling in the other room, probably still talking about what they had seen. The next morning was awkward too, with all six girls teasing Nick about what happened. Jokes like “Having sausage for breakfast, Nick? Oh! Or maybe Beanie Weenies?” brought the blush back to his face, making the girls giggle even more. Nick spent most of the day in his room, waiting for the girls to go home. After this, it would be a little while before his curiosity got the better of him again.

—————

Sherry and her friends were laughing wickedly by the time Nick finished telling the story. The rest of the girls in the audience seemed more angry with him than amused.

“Just to be clear, Nick, I didn’t suggest that to you at all, did I?” Callie pressed.

“But you told me…” Nick started before being cut off.

“I told you Sherry was having a sleepover. Deciding to spy on them was all you. It sounds like it almost worked, though. You must have the worst luck.” Callie teased him. His current predicament sure seemed to back up that statement. “You were so close to seeing everything you wanted to see. Have you had any other ‘close calls’ like that?” She pried.

Once again, they both knew the answer she wanted. Nick finally said “Yeah, when we played Strip Poker with your friends…”

[Jeepman89]

Great chapter! Well written and exciting especially for the girls!

[NickTwisp]

Good character development as the Mom punishes Nick by forcing him to strip naked in front of all the girls.
