A GRAND ADVENTURE
Chapter 17

When Jess approached Ron about taking Ann with them he was pleased. He thought her having a friend her age was great, That evening Ron and Jess had dinner with Ann and her parents. At first Ann's parents were a bit hesitant. They had thought a "family vacation" would be nice, but finally relented and agreed to let Ann go for a few days. The time alone would be nice and they'd still have the end of the week as a family.

Ann hadn't brought a swimsuit with her and would obviously need one on the Riviera, so the two girls were given the next morning to go shopping. Ann's parents told her she could get a bikini, but not one too revealing. Both girls were so excited about spending a few days together Ann readily agreed.

The following morning Ann was at Jess's door. Ron had already left, so the girls were free to go shopping. They didn't even bother to eat, but headed right out to the shops. The first few really had nothing they really liked, then they spotted one with a big "Sale" sign in the window.

Jess and Ann did not speak Italian, but luckily one of the shop clerks spoke English. She explained the swimsuit sale was if they bought one, they could choose a separate for free from a table with assorted tops and bottoms. The girls began rummaging through the items on the table.

Ann giggled as she held up a white thong bottom. "Feel daring?"

"Ron said he didn't want me to buy a thong," Jess sighed.

"You won't be 'buying' it. It's free with a swimsuit. ...and he said he preferred you didn't buy a thong, not you couldn't," Ann countered.

Jess paused in thought. "That's true," she finally smiled. "We can both get one. Are there more?" The girls hunted through the pieces and finally came up with two thong bottoms. Holding the bottoms they began looking through the suits. "Like this one?" Jess asked holding up a bikini.

Ann looked up at the suit, then quickly went through a few more before pulling one out. "I like it, but like this one better," she grinned.

Jess looked at the suit Jess was holding. It was a very skimpy bikini that had side ties at the bottom and basically two triangles of cloth held together with strings for the top. It was pretty, but far more risque than she was used to. "It's pretty, but kinda small," Jess commented.

"I know! I'd get it, but my mother would never let me. Ron said you could get anything you wanted, so you could. Go for it," Ann giggled. Jess, giggled as she took the suit and then the two began looking through the suits again for something for Ann.

Jess spotted one and took it off the rack. She looked it over, then showed it to Ann. "Look at this one," Jess said.

Ann looked over and stated, "I want something a little less conservative."

"Look," Jess grinned as she slid the material back and forth along the waistband. "It's adjustable."

Ann grabbed the suit. "Let's try them on," she suggested and the two headed for the fitting rooms. Both suits fit perfectly and Ann's would bunch up together so it was almost a double thong on the bottom and barely covered her areoles on the top, but spread apart enough to be rather conservative too. Jess's covered her, but left her hips bare except for the strings that tied at her sides.

The girls made their purchases and headed back to the hotel. They had plenty of time before the tour so they could put away their new suits and have a leisurely lunch before they left. Ann went with Jess to her room so she could drop off her thong bottom and not risk having her parents find it.

Jess was surprised to find Ron in the room. "Why are you here? I thought you had meetings all day," she questioned.

"I do, but my morning meeting just broke and I don't have another meeting until 1 this afternoon, so I thought I'd meet you for lunch. That is unless you have other plans," he explained.

"No, not at all. I'm just surprised, that's all. We got our suits! I got time; wanna see it?" replied Jess.

"Sure! Going to model it for me?" Ron smiled.

Jess dropped her bag on a chair and, without thinking, stripped off her clothes right in front of Ron, pulled out her bikini, and slipped it on. She glanced over at Ann to see her just staring. "Oops..." she chuckled while blushing. "I forgot... Um... You gonna try yours on too? Sooner or later he's gonna see it."

Ann had watched Jess take her clothes off right in front of Ron. It surprised her a little she had done that, but she knew they had been naked together before, so it wasn't something new for either. Ron had watched, but made no moves nor had he made any comments or anything threatening in any way.

Jess had already told her the three of them would be in one room and no doubt she would see Ron naked and he would see her naked, but she hadn't expected he would see her today. Jess had suggested she try on her swimsuit and show Ron though. She'd feel stupid and probably look foolish going into the bathroom to change. As excited as it made her showing off her body to Ron, it also scared her too.

Ann lifted her top off, revealing her bra covered breasts. Still nervous she dropped her shorts. Even in just bra and panties she was still covered. Ann took a deep breath trying to calm herself, reached behind her and unhooked her bra. She stared at the floor as her bra slid down her arms and exposed her breasts to Ron. It wasn't her first time being topless in front of a boy, but Ron wasn't a boy. It had been a few years since even her father had seen her; the last time being before she even had breasts.

Her heart was pounding as she quickly put on her bikini top. Ann still had her panties on, but they had to come off to put on the bikini bottom. Her thumbs went to the waistband of her panties, but she just couldn't push them down facing Ron; not yet anyway. Her bag was behind her on a chair, so she turned as she pushed down her panties. They puddled at her feet and she stepped out of them. She could almost feel his eyes looking at her bare ass as she pulled out the bottoms and stepped into them quickly pulling them up covering her nudity.

Ann, now covered, but excited, turned and stood next to Jess. "Whatcha think? Like 'em?" Jess asked.

"Yes! They are nice, but yours is a bit more revealing," Ron smiled.

"Ya think? Watch this," Jess giggled as she turned to face Ann and bunched up her bikini bottom as much as she could, then pushed the top parts together, exposing one of her breasts in the process. Ann immediately recovered herself. "Sorry," Jess apologized. "See? Hers doesn't even cover as much as mine does," Jess laughingly said to Ron.

"They are both fine. You're the ones wearing them. I would have preferred something a bit less revealing, but I can live with it," Ron told them.
