"Absolutely. Take me home, Oliver."
He grinned. "You know how I get when you call me Oliver."
"Well, stop dawdling."
"Yes, ma'am."
He swept me up in his arms and took me home.

Three weeks later
I loved my job. Working at Au Naturel Naturist Resort was the best thing that had ever happened to me, and I had my best friend to thank for it. Ollie had convinced me to quit my old job, since I was bored out of my ever-loving mind there, and join him here. He'd been pestering me about it for almost a year, ever since he quit his tech job to move to Oregon. I kept saying no. I mean, a nudist resort? How could I ever concentrate with all those hot, naked girls prancing around? Then I came here for a visit and suddenly understood.
Not that many hot girls on the premises. Well, except when the Kitten Brigade was here. I'd met those girls once so far, but they were coming back today. Most of our guests were families or senior citizens.
So yeah, no hordes of nubile hotties to distract me.
Too bad, but also good. I loved women, but this was my job now, not a sexy vacay at an adults-only nudist resort in the Caribbean.
Had I been to one of those? Absolutely.
I climbed out of my "gypsy wagon," as Ollie insisted on calling it. Since I liked playing up the Rom angle, I didn't care if everyone called me a gypsy. So what? It was just a word.
Hopping off the last step onto the grass, I stretched and closed my eyes while I soaked up the sunshine.
The rumbling of a vehicle's engine interrupted my moment of relaxation.
I glanced toward the driveway, about a hundred feet away, and smiled.
A big, pink RV was pulling up. The Kitten Brigade had arrived.
Hot, naked girls on demand. Wasn't I the luckiest jerk on earth?
I watched the Kittens disembark from their RV, all of them wearing pink T-shirt dresses. All but one. The blonde who exited last wore cargo pants and a baggy T-shirt, with a baseball cap covering her hair. I remembered that hair. Golden blonde, silky, glistening in the sun. She'd let it grow out, so now it tumbled over her shoulders in lustrous waves. I also remembered her breasts. Spectacular, they were. I'd seen all of her nude body, but I had never even flirted with her, much less kissed her. I didn't want to be the rebound guy.
Heidi Mackenzie had been hung up on Ollie the first time I'd met her. Maybe she still was.
One way to find out.
The other Kittens shed their dresses, tossing them high in the air while whooping with joy.
Heidi hunched near the front bumper of the RV. She didn't undress.
Weird. She'd been one of the most fervent devotees of nudism.
Eve, Val, Ollie, and Mara all emerged from the little house to greet the newly arrived guests. Mara approached Heidi, and the two women shared a brief conversation that ended with Mara hugging Heidi.
Even weirder. Heidi had tried to seduce Ollie away from Mara a while back. Now they acted like old friends. There had to be a story behind the change, but I'd need to ask Ollie about that.
While Eve and Val helped the Kittens carry their tents and bags to the camping area on the other side of the guest house, I snagged Ollie and Mara.
"Hey, lovebirds," I said. "What's the deal? I thought Mara and Heidi would have an epic throwdown when they saw each other again. I was hoping for a down-and-dirty girl fight, with mud wrestling and everything. Preferably in the nude."
Ollie rolled his eyes at me. "The girls made up a long time ago. They've been trading emails."
Mara nodded. "We've talked on the phone a couple times too."
I really didn't get it. If I had a girlfriend and some dick tried to steal her away from me, I wouldn't forgive the guy and become his BFF. But Mara and Heidi had become friends. Seriously? Had I stumbled through an invisible portal into The Twilight Zone?
Ollie clapped a hand down on my shoulder. "Mara and Heidi are being adult about it. Besides, Heidi's been bummed out and needs all the friends she can get."
Well, if sexy little Heidi needed a friend...I volunteered for the job.
"Leave her alone," Ollie said, giving me his stern face that always looked silly to me. He wasn't the tough-guy type.
"What?" I said, pretending to be clueless. "All I want to do is help her through this transitional period."
Transitioning into my bed. That would cheer her up, for sure.
"You're my best friend," Ollie said, "so I'm asking you bro to bro. Give Heidi some space."
"What if she jumps my bones? It would be rude to reject her. It might damage her self-confidence."
"Are you really going to wait for her to make the first move? If she does."
"Fine, yes, I'll wait until she's ready. I'm not a total dick, you know."
"Yeah, I know." Ollie put his arm around Mara. "We should go help the Kittens get set up."
I glanced toward the guest house and saw Heidi going inside. "Isn't the home-wrecker staying in a tent with her girlfriends?"
Mara rolled her eyes at me this time. "Heidi is not a homewrecker. She's actually very sweet. And no, she's not staying with the other Kittens. She'll be in the guest house."
Ollie kissed Mara's cheek. "We'd better get going if we want to have time for today's Japanese lesson too."
"Can't miss that," Mara said with enthusiasm.
Yeah, Ollie and Mara were learning Japanese online, through one of those language websites. It didn't sound like fun to me, but they seemed to like it.
The lovebirds ambled off to assist the Kitten Brigade.
I wandered into the guest house to find Heidi. Not that I planned to hit on her. Not yet, anyway. But I was curious why she'd dressed like a female version of a college guy. I'd never dressed that way, but cargo pants had
