Some time ago, a friend of mine invited my wife Madison and me to a camping trip. It was something of a big deal; some of his other friends planned the whole thing, and they were expecting a turnout of over eighty people. Each person in that core group invited friends from other circles, who in turn were welcome to invite others.
The trip was planned a year in advance, and we RSVP'd immediately. I'm an outdoors kind of guy, and my wife likes people — especially other sociable people. It was perfect for us. Even when my friend bailed two months before the event, we decided we'd still like to go.
The day we drove out was excessively warm, and that's putting it mildly. We got to the park at about ten in the morning, and it was already ninety degrees out, with a high humidity to match.
"Babe," my wife said as we started pulling our gear out from the truck, "I'm just gonna take off my shirt. Is that weird?"
"No," I said. "I'm gonna go without a shirt, myself." She was wearing a bikini under her t-shirt and shorts, so I didn't think anything of it.
I watched her pull her shirt off while I continued to unload the truck, taking in her beauty. We're both in our late twenties, and we take care of ourselves. We eat right, we exercise. Combined with the naturally good looks Madison's blessed with, our efforts have worked well for her. She's gorgeous, and I take pride in having married her.
We don't typically go to outings where swimwear is appropriate, so her blue-and-white bikini top was new to me, and while I'd helped her tie the strings together that morning, I hadn't been able to see how it looked from the front. But I stopped what I was doing to look then. It was pretty ordinary, as far as bikinis go; it was her full, firm tits that made it shine. Her lightly tanned skin was already lightly glistening with sweat, adding to the view.
I pulled off my shirt and put on the oversized backpack that held most of our gear. I carried our modest cooler, and a few other bags in my arms, and Madison carried the tent as we walked to the group of people amassing on the grass by the parking lot.
Someone, ostensibly from the core group, informed us all that our designated campgrounds were about a mile and a half down the path that started behind him, and people groaned audibly. I had packed our gear well, but I noticed a lot of the less-experienced campers had unwieldy loads of who knows what to march with.
When enough people had shown up, we started on the path. Madison and I were towards the center of the line, and she was already talking to another couple not soon after we started. I was paying only enough attention to know that the woman's name was Sofia and the man's name was Greg. A google search I'd done a few days ago had turned up some spectacular views from hikes and paths in the area, and I was thinking about which ones we'd cover first.
At some point, Madison needed a cold drink, and our mini-group stopped so she could pull a beer out from the cooler I was carrying. We moved off to the side of the path so we weren't blocking the walkway, and the stiff twigs of a shrub poked me in the back. I winced at the pain, but it wasn't anything to worry about.
"You want one, babe?" she asked me as she opened the cooler.
"Sure," I said. "You'll have to hold it for me though."
"Can you carry the tent, too?"
"Yeah. Just stack it on top of the cooler."
A moment later I was once again loaded up, only I had the tent as well. Madison took a moment to open the two cans of beer, then started to turn back to the path.
"Mads," I say. "Hold on, you're caught on —"
There were four strings holding her bikini top in place; I'd tied them that morning into two bow knots. Both had snagged on the same shrub that had poked my bare back, and as she turned to continue walking, the knots came undone.
She turned around to face me, but not before her top came clean off her. I watched her naked tits jiggle as she turned. There she was, six feet in front of me, holding a beer in each hand and looking quizzically at me. She hadn't even realized her top came off.
I looked around and saw that everyone behind us had stopped to ogle her. Greg had shifted his sunglasses from his eyes to his head in order to get a better look. Multiple people, mostly men, were silently eyeing my wife's tits.
A sudden cheer from that gathering crowd broke the silence. Madison turned to look, saw that everyone was staring at her, then looked down at herself. Finally realizing what happened, she turned toward the other side of the path, which served only to let some people further along the path see her uncovered tits. They, too, cheered.
As soon as she reflexively tried to cover her up with the beer cans, she regretted putting the cold aluminum to her pink nipples.
"Shit!" she said to no one in particular as she ran to me. By then I'd put our gear on the ground. She hastily put the beers on our cooler and reclaimed her top from the mass of twigs next to me. As I worked to retie the strings, she had her hands covering her face, embarrassed. The gathered crowd began to move on.
"Those are some excellent tits," some guy said as he walked by.
"Thanks," my wife said, deadpan.
"No," he said. "Thank you."
"Are you okay?" Sofia asked, approaching us.
"I think so," Madison said. "Five minutes ago, my husband had been the only guy to ever see my boobs."
"For what it's worth, they really are stunning," Greg said, grinning — a comment that earned him an icy glare and a punch in the ribs from Sofia. As we stood there, he was stealing not-so-furtive glances at Madison's chest.
I didn't care for his comment, but I didn't want to make the situation worse for Madison. Instead, I laughed it off. "Best I've ever seen," I said.
"Same," Greg said, still grinning. Sofia shook her head emphatically at that and started walking. Greg took one more long look at Madison's boobs before following his girlfriend.
"I'm sorry," Madison said when we were alone.
"You're apologizing to me? It's your perfect body that was on display, not mine," I said.
"Yeah, but this body belongs to you," she said sweetly.
"It's no big deal."
"Are you sure? You don't mind other guys seeing my boobs?"
I did mind, a little bit, but the trip was just starting. I didn't want to get it off on the wrong foot. "No, why would I mind? Perfect boobs like yours should be on display often." I smiled to help my point. "Let's go. We'll want to be towards the front of the line so we can pick out a good spot."
We picked up our pace considerably, and as we walked by, random guys commented on Madison's earlier show. They were all positive, and I think she eventually came to enjoy the compliments they were giving her.
"There they are! The best tits in the world!" a shirtless guy said as we walked past, and his group loudly cheered. Madison responded by turning to face them and squeezing her boobs, making them cheer even louder.
She looked timidly at me afterwards, but I rolled my eyes. "I'll let you know if you cross any lines," I said. "Just have fun."
"Okay," she said, smiling. She stood on her toes to kiss me.

At our designated campgrounds — a huge clearing bisected by the path, which continued on to other areas — the core group asked everyone to arrange their tents in a huge circle; they intended to create a large fire pit right in the middle.
I found a spot I liked and pointed it out to Madison, and we hustled over to set up our tent. There were already two tents being set up on either side, so I just aimed to pitch our tent right in the middle, such that each of those other tents was approximately thirty feet away from our own. Our tent was big — tall enough to stand in, and wide enough that it takes a few steps to reach any one side from its opposite — but virtually all of the other tents were just as large.
It didn't take long for us to finish. When we were done, we sat in our lawn chairs and watched everyone else set up. There were a few cold beers left, so we made it our goal to finish them before the ice in our small cooler melted completely.
Two rounds in, our neighbor to the left approached to introduce himself. Smiling, he extended a hand, which I took as I stood up.
"Hi, I'm Connor," he said.
"Rock," I said. "And this is my wife Madison."
"Nice to meet you both." Connor and Madison shook hands. To me, he added, "Cool name."
"It's actually Rocco," I explained. "My dad is something of a Mafia historian. I'm named after Rocco Fischetti, Al Capone's cousin."
Connor nods. "I wish my parents named me after someone cool. 'Connor' was just my grandpa's middle name."
It's about then that I noticed Madison was uncharacteristically quiet. I glanced at her and noticed two things. One, she was twirling some of her hair between her fingers, and two, she was looking at him in the subtle way I've come to learn means she finds him attractive. From behind my sunglasses I looked him over. He looked to be our age, give or take a year. Like me, he wasn't wearing a shirt; he was chiseled, a little more built than I am, and a just a little taller. He was also strikingly good-looking, in a non-overbearing way. I understood where she was coming from.
"Connor!" someone yelled. I turned and saw his doppelganger hurriedly approaching.
