Great job!

“Are you sure? There’s nothing else to bring up?” Nick noticed the emphasis on that last word. The audience were were still somewhat confused so Callie continued to tease him. “I want you to think very hard Nick.” There were a few more giggles as Nick turned even redder. “I know it’s embarrassing, but you need to have a stiff upper lip and tell us.” More girls were laughing as they realized what Callie was implying.

Some excellent punning there!

I'm really enjoying this whole story. Looking forward to the finale!

This story is in the running for sure!
Such a good structure and execution!
Can’t wait for the finale

[IdentityUnknown]

Nick looked out at all the girls watching. They were all smiles and giggles, teeming with excitement for what came next. Nick had played for time the best he could, but it appeared that he had lost. He started to accept that no one was coming to save him. Nothing was going to stop Callie from exposing his most private parts for all of these girls to see.

Callie paused for a moment, savoring the anticipation of the audience. “Before we get to the big reveal, there are just two more questions I wanted to ask you.” Nick said nothing. He just waited, resigned to his impending humiliation. “First things first: you went through all of that, all of those stories, hoping to get a peek at what’s between a girls legs. I think we’d all like to know: did you ever get it? Or are you standing here, about to have all these girls seeing your junk while you still have virgin eyes?” Nick stayed silent. He knew that was enough to answer the question, but Callie wouldn’t let him off that easily. “Answer the question Nick. And make sure the girls at the back can hear you.”

Nick looked around at the crowd again. They all seemed to be waiting for him to speak. Well, not quite all. Nick noticed Kim walking around near the back. He wondered what she was doing, but Callie snapped his focus back to the question. “Yes or no, Nick, did you ever get a peek?”

“No, okay? I’ve still never seen a girl naked. And now I probably won’t for a long time.” Nick confessed. He could hear Sherry and her friends laughing about being more knowledgeable than her older brother. The girls from his class seemed to be whispering to each other and giggling. He looked at Natalie, she was still smiling, but looked a little bit sad as well.

Callie paused again, both to enjoy the audience reaction and to wait for them to settle back down. Nick was dreading whatever Callie’s last question was, but a part of him also wished she’d stop dragging it out and just get this over with already. Finally, the crowd got quiet, and all eyes had returned to the brother and sister in front of them. “Okay Nick” Callie said, “Last question, because I have to ask you one more time: Are you sure you don’t like being seen naked by girls?”

For possibly the first time, Nick actually considered the question. He wanted to say no. He was pretty sure Callie expected him to say no. But what if he just gave her what she wanted? It was a no win scenario for him. If he said no, she’d pull down his briefs in front of all the girls in an attempt to ‘prove’ that he enjoyed it. But if he said yes, then exposing him would be a favor, at least that’s what she’d probably say. Either way, his undies were going down and all eyes would be on his boyhood. He decided to try just answering as honestly as he could.

“I… uh… maybe? I don’t know. It’s definitely been very embarrassing every time.” His blush rose back up. There were some gasps as he seemed to capitulate. He saw Kim whispering something to Natalie, who then looked at him. But unlike all the other girls there, she wasn’t looking at his body. She looked him right in the eyes and smiled. Then she turned back to Kim and nodded.

“Is that a yes or a no, Nick?” Callie pressed.

“It was always embarrassing. But I guess there was some excitement to it as well. So I don’t know. Maybe. But not like this! This is too much either way!” Nick answered. He really wasn’t entirely sure, and he knew that, ultimately, neither Callie nor their audience particularly cared if he actually enjoyed it. They were enjoying it more than enough.

Callie accepted that “Maybe” was the most direct answer she’d be getting from the boy. “Well, I’m glad you are willing to at least consider it Nick!” She declared. “But, unfortunately, I’m not interested in ‘maybe’. I want to prove it one way or the other.” Callie moved closer to him. Her hand went to his waist. “Now… if only we had some simple way to test whether you like having girls looking at your dick.” She grabbed his waistband. Nick saw a few of his classmates pulling out phones. It was looking like this wasn’t just going to be a show, but a photo shoot. “I guess we’ll just have to pull these down and see what happens, won’t we?”

For a moment, everything was silent. A quiet pause of anticipation as everyone braced for what was about to happen. It only lasted a second, and then Callie pulled. Nick’s underpants dropped to his ankles. There was a loud cheer followed by a cacophony of laughs, squeals, giggles, and digital click sounds. Nick was dazed by flashes from numerous cellphone cameras. Every girl seemed be enjoying the view of his privates which, to Nick’s relief, were still soft. He started to involuntarily pull at the zip ties binding him to the fence, but he couldn’t get loose.

“There you have it, ladies! Nick’s penis, for your viewing pleasure!” Callie called out, barely making her voice heard over the noise of the crowd. “How does it feel, Nick? Embarrassing? Exciting? All of these girls are looking at your penis! And just think how it’s going to feel to see your classmates at school, knowing they’ve all seen you totally naked!” Nick grimaced at that. It had been hard enough just occasionally seeing Sherry’s friends after the sleepover, or Callie’s friends after the poker game. He wasn’t sure how he would cope with every girl in his class knowing what his private parts look like.

Callie reveled in the crowd enjoying Nick’s nudity. This was already almost everything she had hoped it would be. Now she was just watching Nick’s penis and hoping it would do what she wanted. Nick’s breathing was getting ragged. His face was bright red. She just had to hope his boy parts weren’t getting stage fright. She intended to prove her point in the most visibly obvious way possible.

Nick’s mind was close to going blank. He didn’t see Natalie or Kim anymore, but he wasn’t really wondering where they went. His head was filled with all the memories he’d been reliving all night. All the girls that had seen him, that were looking at him right now. All of that seemed to be for nothing. Yet, despite his embarrassment, Nick could feel a tingling, and a familiar feeling of pressure. He desperately tried to think of anything else, but it didn’t make a difference. The noise of the crowd got even louder when they saw his penis twitch, and shift slightly. Callie got the biggest grin as she saw it start to happen. Sure, Callie had seen the pictures, but only Taylor had seen Nick’s stiff penis in person. She wasn’t sure why it was such a thrill, but there was something special about watching him go from flaccid to fully erect in front of so many girls.

Some of the girls in the crowd looked like they might be almost as red as Nick as they watched him become aroused. He looked down to see Sherry and her friends watching his penis stiffen with rapt attention, only too happy to be seeing yet another secret about boys and their parts. Taylor had moved toward the front of the crowd, apparently for a better view.

Finally Nick found himself standing in front of a big audience of girls he knew with his private parts completely exposed and fully hard. Callie gave a cackle. “I guess that answers that, right girls?” She said, “You sure are very erect for a boy who isn’t enjoying himself, Nick.” Nick tried to look away from her, but couldn’t turn that far. “Why, that thing looks like it could go off at the slightest touch!” Nick’s eyes bugged out. She wouldn’t. She couldn’t. He was her brother, that would be too weird, right?

“It sure does! Wanna find out if it will?” Taylor said. Of course she hadn’t moved up just to look, she wanted to participate. But was she really going to do that!?

“Well I’m definitely not going to do that!” Callie said sharply before adding “but I won’t stop you…”

Nick started thrashing at his bonds again, causing his bits to bounce around to the delight of the girls watching. Taylor moved in closer. He started to really panic as he saw her hand moving toward him. “Hold still Nick.” It took him a full second just to register that it wasn’t Taylor or Callie who’d said it. He knew he recognized the voice, but he was in no state to identify it at the moment. Nick was focused on Taylor, and her approaching hand. There wouldn’t be any coming back from this. Suddenly the zip tie on his right wrist went loose. The one on his left wrist followed. Nick didn’t waste a second thinking about it, he just ran.

The girls seemed completely shocked that Nick had somehow gotten loose. Taylor was so startled by it that she screamed and jumped back. The audience were surprised, and mostly cleared out of the way of the charging naked boy. A few started getting up to chase him. Nick kept running toward the side gate that led to the front yard. That was where his bike would be, if he could get to it he might escape! He was surprised to find Kim already at the gate. She was holding it open and waving at him. It looked like she was waving him through the gate, but why?

Nick was too busy running for his life to question it. He ran right past Kim and out the gate. He found his bike waiting for him. Someone had moved it to directly in his path as he came out of the gate. They had apparently also left a raincoat on the handle bars. Nick heard the gate behind him slam shut, and Callie and Taylor’s voices yelling on the other side. He knew he had seconds at best before they were back on his heels. He threw on the raincoat, jumped on his bike and started riding as fast as he could.

He headed down the street, toward the corner. It was too dark to ride through the woods that fast so he was headed around. As he turned the corner he saw someone else approaching on a bike, but he kept on riding. He just wanted to get home and hide in his room. At least until the girl on the bike called out, “Hey Nick! Wait up! It’s me!”

This time Nick placed the voice. Molly! It had been her that cut him free! Nick slowed his pace just enough for her to catch up. “Molly! How did you-“ Nick started to ask, but Molly anticipated his questions.

“Kim texted me. Sorry I couldn’t get there sooner, it took a little time to set this up.” Molly said. At least she had saved him from that last humiliation. “Let’s head for my house, they’re less likely to look for you that way!” She said as she turned another corner and Nick followed suit.

As they kept riding, Nick couldn’t help asking “Kim texted you?”

“Well… yeah. After I told you about it, I started thinking that if I could tell you, then why couldn’t I tell her? Eventually, I got enough courage to do it.” Molly answered.

“It couldn’t have gone that badly if she’s helping us. What did she say?” Nick asked. Suddenly his humiliation was gone, now his best friend’s confession to her crush was the most important thing on his mind. It almost made him forget about his own ‘confession’ to his crush earlier that night.

Molly explained how she had told Kim about her feelings, how Kim had been somewhat unsure at first, but open to finding out. That had been a month and a half ago, and they were still spending a lot of time together. Molly and Nick continued to chat about it until they arrived at Molly’s house. “So why hadn’t you told me about you two?” Nick asked as they walked to the door.

“You didn’t ask. Also Kim wasn’t really comfortable with telling people. I think that changed tonight. When she texted me, I pointed out that people might find out about us. Do you know what she said?” Nick looked at Molly as they made their way to her room. Molly held up her phone, showing the reply from Kim: idc save your friend!

Once they were safely in Molly’s room, she found Nick a pair of gym shorts and a Godzilla t-shirt. The raincoat had been quick cover, but Nick was happy to be wearing actual clothes again. About 10 minutes later, Kim arrived as well, and she wasn’t alone. Natalie was with her. “Oh good! You caught up to him!” Kim said as she entered the room.

“Why’s she here?” Molly asked, gesturing to Natalie.

“I want to talk to Nick.” Natalie said.

“She helped us. I asked her to help, and she blocked the other side gate.” Kim added.

“Can I talk to you alone for a minute Nick?” Natalie said. She didn’t seem to be listening to Molly or Kim anymore.

“Wh…ah…um… I… yeah? Okay.” Nick said. The adrenaline had worn off and the day was catching up to him. Molly just nodded and ushered Kim out of the room, leaving only Nick and Natalie.

“I’m so sorry Nick! About what they did, what they were going to do! I can’t believe they did that to you.” Natalie looked downcast as she stepped closer to Nick. “I had no idea how much trouble you had been through, all for…” Natalie trailed off and they both blushed. “Anyway, I’m really sorry about all of it! But, I didn’t just come here to apologize.” Nick saw that same smile from earlier come to her face. “I also… wanted… to say… I like you too!” Natalie blurted out, blushing.

“You do? Even after all that?” Nick looked in her eyes and saw warmth and concern. He could see that she wasn’t messing with him. As he sat on Molly’s bed, she leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek. As she did, Nick heard a strange noise and looked down to see a pair of panties around Natalie’s ankles.

“Just to spare you from any more trouble…” Natalie said when he looked down. As he started to look back up to her face, he saw her hand grab the hem of her skirt. Nick was so exhausted it didn’t click until her hand started to rise, bringer her skirt with it. Nick’s eyes went wide as the hem rose up farther, until she was holding it above her waist. Nick genuinely couldn’t believe it as he found himself staring directly at his crush’s most private place. Natalie quickly started turning red as she let Nick look. The whole time there were only two words on Nick’s mind.

“Worth it”

The End

This story is in the running for sure!
Such a good structure and execution!
Can’t wait for the finale

That is an excellent story that I very much enjoyed as well. It’s an honor to be considered comparable.

[dublinjohn]

nice story

[NudeBaG]

Even without a truly ‘climactic’ ending, you absolutely NAILED IT!
Wonderful job!
An instant classic!

To Nick’s credit, he’s probably going to be pretty popular in class from now on lol

Perhaps a follow up at some point down the line with Taylor getting to ‘find out’ the answer to her question lol.

[NickTwisp]

Excellent writing & the ending is kind of touching where Nick is "saved" from the taunting crowd of classmates. Like also how he finally gets to see a naked girl after all his troubles.

[Freesub]

Yep, as good an ending as it gets
After all the humiliation, the secret is revealed

Also side note, but I wonder if the internet has changed the power dynamics of this greatly, given what's between a girl's legs can be looked up in just one search. Certainly it has to have reduced the massive advantage girls used to hold in the pre-widespread internet access era

[NudeBaG]

Also…
I’m happy for Natalie and Nick
