Very aware

Jason was flabbergasted. He didn't think that Jenny would ever suggest something like that and could hardly believe his own ears. Seeing his shocked expression, Jenny realized how her words had come across and quickly clarified. "No, no, no. Not like that. I didn't mean fully naked. I can't go from zero to a hundred like that, but we shared baths before and I enjoyed them during those two occasions. So, I thought if we wanted more skin ship, that might be a good way to reach that. Since I am still too uncomfortable with you touching me underneath my clothes like that or taking my clothes off, I though that if I took them off myself, I could be fine with us sharing a bath. When I went to buy the bathing suit from last time, I also bought something that I picked out for you. Something I could wear in private in our pool here." Jenny walked into the other room, while Jason let out the breath he had been holding in since hearing Jenny's suggestion of taking a bath.

When she came back, she held up an emerald green bikini, which was sure to look stunning on her naturally sun kissed skin and with her dark hair. He took the bikini from her hands and looked it over. With a chuckle he said, "Oh, I see. Well that sounds like more of a plan. Even I am not ready for a regular bath with you yet. Not if I am expected to not do anything." A Jenny responded with an awkward laugh and said bit nervously, "Yeah, I thought this way there would be about as much revealed as if I was in my underwear, but it would be less awkward for me. Even if I can't do everything right away, I can at least find a compromise like this. So, don't give up on me yet, okay?" Jason saw how much effort this was taking Jenny and felt touched. With a soft smile and a gentle pat on her head he reassured her. "I never would. I was just a bit confused, because it felt like I was getting mixed signals. You trying like this, is enough for me." The soft smile quickly made place for a more teasing one as he placed both hands on Jenny's shoulders. "Well, let's go get that bath started. It's not everyday my lady flirts with me in that way. I cannot risk her changing her mind."

Jenny chuckled at Jason's excitement. She didn't think he would like the idea that much, but she was happy she had suggested it. Still feeling embarrassed from what had happened before and from the words she was saying herself, Jenny's face was fully flushed as they headed into the bathroom. More than any exercise could have caused. She wanted to do nothing more than run away at this very moment, but she also knew that if she wanted Jason to be able to believe her words, she too needed to take a step in his direction instead of making him keep moving forward on his own. Though she had come very far from where she had started, she couldn't remain the way she was forever. At least not when it was just the two of them. She didn't need to be as daring as Jason was at times, but he shouldn't feel like he is the only one who want their relationship to progress.

After she had changed and Jason had run the bath and changed as well, it was time for her to do as she had suggested and get into the bath with him. Though she had told herself that it wouldn't be much different from the two occasions before, having more skin revealed, really did make it feel more intimate. She was very aware of her back touching Jason's firm chest and even more so of Jason's hands touching her stomach. Whenever his hands moved, she would feel her body tense up and her heart skip a beat. But this was exactly the point, for her to experience these reactions and get used to his touch. Making it gradually become more normal.

Jason, who was feeling her rapid heartbeat through her back, resonating through his chest, felt his teasing monster creep up to the surface with each reaction Jenny's body gave. Wanting to know how far he could take it till Jenny would stop him, he started his exploring. Moving his hands slowly from her slightly pulled up knees to her thighs. His other hand moving from the mid section of her stomach and leaving a lingering touch from just above the rim of her bikini bottom all the way to just under her breasts. His hand grazing the lower part where part of her skin was revealed in his attempt to pull her even closer. Though he could clearly tell that she was startled by his actions and had tensed up quite a bit. Shuddering with each inch that his hands got closer to what was being covered by her swimwear. He wasn't stopped until he moved the hand that was on her outer thigh towards her inner thigh. Making her grab his hand abruptly and turn her face around in shock.

Seeing his covered smile, Jenny quickly got the gist of what was going on and used her fist to pound on his chest to express her frustration. "You jerk! You knew how nervous I was. How could you tease me like that when I am trying so hard?" Jason chuckled as he tried to get the words out. "I am sorry, but your reactions are so amusing. I couldn't help myself. Though I must say, you withstood it longer than I thought you would. This gives me hope for future steps." Jenny turned her body until she was lying on Jason's chest with her stomach and looked at his face with narrowed eyes. "Amusing, hmm? Well, let me repay that favour and see if it is as amusing as you say."
