JULIA
Lisa, Shasta and I interviewed six women on Monday. The second one we interviewed appeared confused by our requirement we would appreciate it if they would accept our nudity. She started to strip when she came in for the interview. She had her blouse off and skirt unzipped before we could stop her.
"Wait!" I said, "you don't have to remove your clothes. Put them back on."
She stopped. "I thought it was a requirement of the job."
"It's not a strip club," I said. "You don't have to work naked. It's just that right now, all of us prefer to work naked. We're used to it and enjoy it, but you don't have to. You can work clothed or naked. It's all women, so you don't have to worry about men grabbing you. It's not important to us either way. We're just hoping to find someone who isn't offended by our nudity. Nor are you required to be submissive to anyone, nor to have sex with anyone. Four of us are submissives, but it's not a requirement for the job. Two of us aren't, including Shasta. You don't have to touch us and we won't touch you. The only important qualities to us is can you learn how to work wood, that you work hard when you show up to work and don't slack and show up on time. Please put your clothes back on. We don't want the others to think they have to strip either."
She put her clothes back on. She looked more relaxed and more focused on the job after she did.
"I don't know why I thought it was a sex job, maybe because of where it was advertised and because it mentioned nudity. I really didn't want a sex job. I just need a better paying job."
"My name is Lisa. This is my partner, Julia, and our lead worker, Shasta. We don't need sex workers, we need wood workers," Lisa said. "Do you have any experience in carpentry?"
"No, but I'm willing to learn."
"It's fifteen dollars to start for inexperienced workers," I said. "After you learn the job, no matter how quickly or slowly you learn, you get a raise. Learning the job consists of being able to do every step in the construction process from when the supplies are delivered to the finished product going out the door. We can either pay you more per hour, or pay you $15 plus a percentage of our profits. We consider our profits at this point to be $30,000 monthly. Your percentage, if you choose to accept it, would be two percent of that or $600 more a month. We think as a company we could do up to another $20,000 more a month total of which 50% is ours provided we have two dedicated and skilled workers, which puts your profit percentage at $800 a month. We think we have that much growth built in because we're five weeks behind in our orders. Choose the bonus or take $17 an hour with future raises to come, your choice. You don't have to decide now. What we want for our business is for our employees to be happy and to be able to share in our growth. Are you interested in the job and do you believe you can learn how to work wood?"
"Hell yes, I'm interested and I can learn anything."
We asked her a number of other questions to which she provided good answers. When she was done, we let her out and discussed her.
"At first, I thought she was a little dim, thinking she had to strip, but maybe the ad wasn't worded as well as I hoped. I liked her."
"I did too," Shasta said. "She's got good attitude and seemed eager to learn, especially after she realized she wouldn't have to fuck anyone."
"Let's see what the rest are like," Lisa said. "Make a decision after we speak to all of them."
Out of the six applicants, two of them looked good and we hired them both. Neither of them had jobs and could start tomorrow. One of them was our stripper, whose name was Charlotte. The other one's name was Melanie. Charlotte was 33 and a single mother; and Melanie six years younger, single but dating with a boyfriend. Melanie reminded me of Sarah a little; a strong, athletic type, not really thin. Charlotte had a slimmer figure, more like Lisa.
They both showed up for work on time, and I spent a couple hours going over all the hiring paperwork with them as I was becoming the least valuable worker due to my pregnancy. After it was all filled out, I brought them downstairs and introduced them to the others. I saw their eyebrows go up when they saw everyone else was nude, but didn't say a peep, not even after I stripped off and waddled around. They both chose remained dressed, and we didn't say squat about it, nor did they comment on our lack of attire. We showed them what we built and got them started on sanding, staining and varnishing, none of which was particularly taxing.
Both of them wore clothing the first week, jeans and tees. Due to the heat at which we kept the house normally to allow for our nudity, Melanie broke first. She took off her t-shirt and jeans and finished the day in her underwear. Alice and Shasta both laughed, but didn't make fun, so she wasn't sure why they laughed.
"You think my body is ugly?" She bristled.
"No honey," Alice replied. "It's nicer than mine, truth be told. We're laughing because we were the same way when we started. Wearing clothes for about the first week, then taking off more and more. Coming to work in a swimsuit, a bikini, usually, the second week. Finally, we just faced the inevitable and took our clothes off. It's a hell of a lot more comfortable."
"How do you stand the temperature in here?" Melanie asked.
"The boss and her partner are both submissive. You know what that means?"
"A little, I guess. I saw where the job was advertised."
"Well," Shasta said, "it mean her husband is her Master," she pointed at me, "and Lisa is her lover-partner, she have the same Master, plus they lovin' up each other. Their Master like them naked in the house, no company comin' over, so he can fuck them any time he here. Those two," she pointed to Reneé and Janet, "got their own Masters and they like them naked too. They get used to bein' naked, get to likin' it. Since they naked all the time, keep the house warm so they don't get cold. Why it's hot in here and Alice and I go naked, we get to like it too, 'cause it's more comfortable. Nobody bother us 'cause we're naked, so it makes no difference. You can wear what you want, but I say, might as well get comfortable. You get to like it too."
Charlotte took off her tee shirt and jeans too, without another word.
"Their Master don't get home until around six, so you can shower or use the pool to cool off, get dressed after," Shasta said. "He won't bother you either if you're not shy and choose to stay naked."
"I doubt my boyfriend would be pleased if I were naked with another man here," Melanie said.
"Then get dressed before he comes home," Alice said. "I'm working naked because I choose to, not because I have to."
Inside another week, they were both working naked as well.
