The Governess- 10

The Range Rover was just reaching the clearing. The sun was bright in the sky
and the day was already very warm. Diane was driving with Veronica sat beside
her. Richard sat in the back between Wendy and Annette. Both the maids were
dressed in thin cotton shift dresses, while Diane and Veronica had chosen loose
blouses with ruffled gypsy skirts. Richard was wearing his new tracksuit. The
girls had filled his wardrobe with new underwear as well as shirts and trousers
from their shopping trip. Diane brought the vehicle to a spot just by the table
where Richard had received his caning. A small shudder went through him as he
thought back to his ordeal.
“Come on everyone let’s get out and enjoy some of this sunshine.” Diane jumped
from the car and opened the rear door for Wendy. It took several minutes to
unpack the picnic baskets, towels and blankets. The maids laid out the blankets
in a sunny spot by the side of the lake and placed the hampers by the side.
Annette helped Wendy take some bottles of wine from the Rover and laid them in
the shallow water under the jetty. Richard meanwhile helped remove two folding
chairs and erect them by the blankets. He looked up to see Diane and Veronica
strip off their blouses and skirts, underneath they wore skimpy white bikinis.
Their golden skin glowing in the sunshine. Richard turned his head quickly to
avoid staring at their lithe bodies.
Diane moved to the blanket and sat down on it while Veronica sat on one of the
chairs by her side. Richard stood awkwardly not knowing what to do next.
“Why don’t you go for a swim you three.” Diane called to the maids as they stood
by the jetty. Wendy and Annette came and stood by the boy. “I didn’t have a
costume to lend to Annette.” Wendy said. “Shall I lend her mine, I don’t mind
not going in.”
“She doesn’t need a costume here and neither do you for that matter, just get
your clothes off and jump in, it’s beautiful today.”
Wendy blushed, “But..but I have my costume in the Range Rover.”
“Wendy I thought I had sharpened up your attitude to obedience, it seems I was
wrong.”
