Kelly and I dressed again, quickly but carefully. Pierre came in just as we finished. He smiled. “Show time,” he said.
Pierre led us into the stage-right wings. He whispered. “This is it. Out you go.”
I followed Kelly onto the stage. It was very dimly lit, just enough so that we could see to walk. The house lights were off, but it was light enough to see faces. Applause started as we walked out.
I would have forgotten where we were supposed to stand except that there was a microphone on a stand at front center stage. We walked there. The spots lights above us came up. It took a second to adjust to their brightness. As my eyes adjusted, I could again see faces in the audience, including Allison and Kurt. I gestured for Kelly to take the microphone.
Kelly took the mike out of its stand. “Is this on?” she said. It was. Kelly paused. She looked nervous. “Hi,” she said tentatively. “I’m Kelly. This is my husband Harry. I’ve never been onstage in front of an audience before. This is something that I’ve wanted to do for some time now. I want to thank you for coming and sharing it with us.”
Kelly put her hand holding the mike down and exhaled. She had relaxed a little. Raising he mike, she said, “Well, you didn’t come here to see me standing in a dress.” She gestured to the young man who was standing in the dark on the side of the stage. He walked out.
Kelly said into the mike, “We had thought about undressing each other, but we decided to undress ourselves. That’s our way of showing you that we are each voluntarily, gladly, exposing ourselves to you.”
Kelly handed him the microphone and bent down to take off her high heels. Kelly handed her shoes to the young man. She squarely faced the audience, bent down, grasped the hem of her dress, and pulled it over her head and off. She half turned to the young man and exchanged the dress for the microphone.
As the young man took Kelly’s dress and shoes into the wings, Kelly told the audience, “I’ll take the rest of this off once he gets back.”
The young man walked back onstage and stood beside Kelly. She smiled. Into the mike she said, “This is it.” She handed the mike to the young man. She reached behind herself and undid her bra. She brought her hands forward, taking the bra off.
Kelly handed the bra to the young man and took back the mike. “I must be excited,” she told the audience, “my nipples have gotten really hard.” She smiled again. “My pussy wants to see you all.” She handed the mike to the young man. She confidently pushed her thong over her hips and down her legs. She moved one foot out of the thong and gracefully lifted it up with the other foot. Taking the thong off of her foot, she handed it to the young man. He walked off stage as Kelly stood, completely naked, in front of the audience. She had never looked more beautiful.
Into the microphone, Kelly said, “I was pretty nervous about doing this. But, I cannot describe to you how good it feels to be standing here naked.” That brought applause.
Kelly looked at me and said, “Harry?”
