Movie night, dancing, and a tense confrontation.

Chapter 5 – Lake House Vacation (continued)

Jason kept his explanation brief filling Chloe in on the plan, then she wanted him to check the app. “Let’s see if your planning had any effect on Heather or Alex.”

“Not a lot of change for Alex.” Jason observed.

“I’m surprised.” The black-haired girl admitted. “That’s a bit more change than I was expecting, particularly on those high level attitudes.”

Lucille Winters

Relationship: Best Friend’s Brother

Prominent Attitudes (out of 100): Playfulness 4, Admiration 4 (+2), Friendship 2 (+1)

“That’s also a little surprising.”

Jason nodded, “Yeah. Guess I’m making a strong impression on Lucy.”

“So, what branching effects are you going to use to ensure your plan works?” Chloe’s black eyes met his challengingly.

He shrugged, “I was actually just going to…”

“No. Don’t make me hit you. You’ve got a magic relationship app. Use it!”

“Okay, okay.” He blushed sheepishly and navigated back to the branching effects menu. “Chloe! I’ve got three hundred and sixty-eight points. I can unravel your geass.”

“It’s fine… shit.” She shook her head. “Don’t worry. Do this first.” She said succinctly, meeting his gaze to show her sincerity and that it wasn’t just the geass talking.

“I’ve been steadily getting more points, so I’m sure I’ll regain enough in no time.” He scanned through the list, pausing to read a few he hadn’t noticed before, but they settled on the same one he’d used most recently; enduring stamina. “I don’t want to use more than I need, so I’m going to leave the menu open until we’re almost to the scene in the movie and then activate it for 1 hour starting then. That should be plenty enough time for Heather’s act, and if I need more to confront Kate, I’ll find a way to extend it.”

She nodded, “That sounds good. But what about something for Kate?” She asked. “Maybe that suggestion perk?”

“Which one, dreamwalker?”

“No, the one that makes someone more suggestible for a few hours, particularly if they are already receptive to you?”

Jason scanned through the list of branching effects until he found ‘Suggestible Receptivity’. “Oh right: ‘This effect makes the target you have a relationship with more receptive to your persuasion for the duration that they are in your presence after activating the effect. They will be more willing to go along with your suggestions and ideas provided they do not conflict strongly with their morals or motivations. Deeply rooted convictions cannot be changed or even temporarily altered by this effect.’ Yeah, that could help a lot.” He agreed.

“Then activate that one before you go to confront Kate.” Chloe urged. “Now let’s get back to the others before someone comes looking for us.”

Once everyone grouped back up – Lucy and Percy in their pajamas – they played a few board games, splitting into two groups with Lena and the four teens playing Parcheesi while Jason and the other older girls played Monopoly.

By the time they finished it was well after dark, and the temperature was dropping rapidly. Lucy’s teeth were practically chattering when they sent her to bed as she’d been wearing a t-shirt and pajama pants with her feet bare while most the rest of them were more appropriately dressed for the colder mountain weather.

“Didn’t I tell you to bring warm pajamas?” Percy was saying as they retreated up the stairs.

“These are my warm pajamas. I’ll put on a flannel night shirt when we get to the room.” Came the response.

“Don’t forget socks!” Helena called up the stairs.

It wasn’t much longer before Leo dragged Tristan to their room despite his complaints about not being tired amidst a wide yawn.

Finally, Lena and Alex brought out blankets to throw across their laps as Heather put on a movie, and after making sure the other three girls were comfy on one couch, Jason’s sisters snuggled in on either side of him on the other couch as the movie began.

Jason was keenly aware of Alex who idly caressed his thigh beneath the blanket during the opening scenes of the movie, but was also a bit surprised that Lena seemed to press herself closely against him, drawing his arm around her as he felt one of her small breasts against his side, quite clearly without a bra beneath her long-sleeved shirt.

When they got to the ‘dancing scene’ Heather and Alex mentioned, Jason watched avidly as Jamie Lee Curtis stripped down to her underwear on screen and danced for a man she didn’t know was her husband, trying to make her moves as sexy as she could.

He retrieved his phone from his pocket next to Alex, who wasn’t really paying attention as he looked down at the screen while keeping it hidden under the blanket. He activated the enduring stamina effect just before glancing up at Heather. She met his gaze meaningfully, then she turned her attention back to the movie and made an exaggerated sigh.

“What’s wrong?” Chloe asked, and Heather grabbed the remote; pausing the movie.

“It’s just not that convincing.” She complained, getting to her feet and gesturing at the large flat screen.

“What do you mean?” Jason leaned forward, dislodging his sisters from leaning against him, but staying seated next to them.

“This fucking scene always annoys me.” The blonde continued. “Sure, Curtis is a great actress, but she exaggerates this too much. It looks silly, not alluring.”

“You think you could do better?” Alex asked, getting out from under the blanket, and freeing Jason from it in the process.

Heather smirked, “I could make Jason hard in half the time without even stripping a stitch.” She bragged.

“Heather, don’t start a fight.” Kate pleaded.

“I won’t.” She assured the red-head, her eyes locked on Jason, who got to his feet.

“Why do I have to be your guinea pig?” He protested.

“You see any other adult dicks around here, asshole?” She asked, a hint of the venom from a week ago in her tone.

Jason sighed, but inwardly he was applauding the blonde. “Fine, prove your point.” He said, folding his arms across his chest.

Heather smirked, and moved a little closer, rolling her hips as she stepped one foot in front of the other. Even through her warm layers he could see her breasts sway, unrestrained by any sort of bra. Then she turned to one side, dancing across the rug towards the half-wall between the dining room and the hallway that joined the two rooms to the master bedroom and the back patio. Jason’s eyes were drawn to her backside and legs flexing before she pressed herself in her long-sleeved shirt and sweat pants against the banister, using it like a makeshift stripper pole as she kicked one leg up behind her, her ass tightening visibly before Jason tore his gaze up to her eyes, finding her watching him with a smirk.

Jason, for his part, kept his eyes on her, but thought of Kate, and what this was for. Heather did not hesitate to show off her athleticism as she danced back and forth, throwing her legs out and bending in ways he’d never seen her show off before, but she kept it brief, approaching him after only a few short moves, and very subtly tapped her thigh with two fingers.

Jason took a breath, and took stock of himself. He was a little aroused, but thanks to the magic app, he was effortlessly keeping his erection down, so he touched his forefinger and thumb at his side, only to gasp as Heather dropped into a perfect split right in front of him and yanked his slacks and boxers down.

“Heather!” Kate shouted, as the other three women just watched with varying expressions of disbelief and excitement as his manhood was exposed, slightly plumped but not at all erect.

Jason gave it a moment before yanking his clothes back up, pretending to be indignant. But Heather frowned as she got to her feet. “I’m not sure if I should feel relieved or insulted.” She muttered, giving him an odd look, then turned and stormed outside the back door.

“Heather!” Alex ran past them all after her blonde friend, and Jason sat back down heavily. The cheerleader running off hadn’t been part of the plan, and he only hoped she was still alright.

“Maaayybee we should… call it a night and get ready for bed?” Chloe suggested.

“Might be a good idea.” Lena stood up and picked up the remote, turning off the TV and the DVD player then turning to the rest of them.

Jason and Chloe walked together up the stairs. As soon as they were alone, Jason turned to the Navajo girl, “Well, it seemed to work, though I’m not sure if Heather running off was part of the plan.”

“Well I just hope it works, cause admittedly seeing you unreactive to Heather’s dance… was kinda weird for me. I’m pretty sure I was getting a little hot for her.”

He nodded his understanding.

“Well, check Kate’s and Heather’s profiles, and see if anything’s changed.” She suggested after a moment.

Jason nodded, and quickly loaded up the MRE app.

Special Traits: Bisexual, Cocktease, Drama Queen

Active Effects: Awaken Attitude (Lust)

Temporary Traits: Conflicted Lust

“Huh, check that temporary trait.” Chloe asked.

“This person is feeling very confused about their feelings towards you, with a combination of several conflicting attitudes such as jealousy, gratitude and frustration on top of an unexpected surge of lust.” Jason read aloud.

“Wow. I guess that explains her storming off.” Chloe observed.

But before Jason could respond to that, there was a brief knock on the door, and then Alex poked her head in. “Jason, get downstairs and talk to Kate now.” She said in a fierce whisper. “Tell her you were looking for Heather, I’ll fill in Chloe on what we’re up to if you haven’t already.”

“I told her earlier.” He advised as he got to his feet, slipping his phone into his pocket as he moved past his sister, and gave her a brief kiss on the cheek. “Thanks for this, and I hope Heather knows I’m so very grateful to her as well.”

“You can tell her yourself once the plan is finished.” She said, as she moved aside then slipped into the room and closed the door behind her, leaving Jason alone in the hall.

Well, here goes nothing. He thought to himself, opening his phone back up as he moved towards the stairs. He activated the suggestive receptivity effect on Kate for 12 points, then made sure his app was set up to add another hour to his enduring stamina effect at the press of a button if he needed it, but he still had over half his original duration remaining, so he wasn’t too concerned.

He took a breath and let it out slowly as he approached the master bedroom door, then quickly turned the knob and opened the door, “Hey Heather, are you…?”

“Geeze, Jason, what are you… get out!” Kate whipped towards him, and held a long-sleeved thermal t-shirt to her torso, though Jason could see the strap of a tank-top over one heavily freckled shoulder, and she was wearing thick socks beneath long-johns, so despite her reaction he knew she wasn’t technically indecent.

Even so, it took him a moment to decide what his reaction ‘should’ be, and made a show of sighing as he closed the door still facing Kate. “I’m sorry, Kate. I should have knocked or something but… you’re not naked, so I don’t see why you’re reacting so strongly.”

Kate glared at him, but fell silent. Then her green eyes widened as he began to approach closer, “Jason, just step out and let me finish changing.” She muttered, backing up a step as he drew close.

Jason raised a hand and placed it over hers holding her sleep top to her chest. “I want to see you, Kate.” He whispered.

The red-head’s breath grew shallow as she stared at him, then finally lowered her hands, exposing her torso clad only in a thin tank top, leaving her arms bare, and allowing Jason to fully appreciate her incredible figure. There was a lot of muscle; that was impossible to deny. Her traps were quite prominent between her shoulders and her neck, and there was clear definition between the tops of her pectorals and her collar bone. Her biceps were easily as thick as his, despite their height difference. He’d known her breasts were small, but without any kind of bra on it was even more evident. It was also evident that her nipples were quite hard, and he doubted it was just from the cold. Finally, Jason was fascinated by the hundreds, if not thousands of freckles visible all across her arms, shoulders, and upper chest.

“Well?” She asked, breathlessly. “I’m not very pretty, but you can at least compliment my dedication to fitness, right?” She said, forcing a self-deprecating chuckle.

“You’re gorgeous, Kate.”

“Stop…” She turned away, and he moved back far enough to let her. “Don’t lie to me, Jason.”

“I can prove it.” He said, and she scoffed. “I’m serious.” He put his hand on her shoulder then stepped back again with his palms forward when she spun towards him, her right fist raised.

“Just look.” He gestured to his pants, where he was sporting a tent from the hardest erection he’d ever had. Sure, part of that was the magic app, but he really did feel desire for Kate when seeing her like this, so it wasn’t all for show.

Somehow, Kate’s eyes grew even wider. “What is… how do I know that’s not a banana in your pocket?” She muttered.

Jason sighed, and before he could convince himself what a bad idea this was, he unfastened his pants and lowered them along with his boxers to reveal himself in all his glory, even as Kate reached out a hand to stop him.

She paused the moment his manhood sprang free, already leaking precum from the tip. But when her eyes met his again, they were moist, and he took a step towards her, causing her to take a step back, her eyes flying to his exposed cock once more.

He mentally kicked himself, but then spread his arms to show he wasn’t trying to be aggressive. “Do you believe me now?” He asked her.

“But… I’m not even doing anything sexy.”

“Sure you are. You’re being open, and ****, and also trusting. You have an amazing personality, and an amazing body. You don’t need big breasts and a skinny waist to be sexy. Just being healthy and strong can be sexy, especially when you own it, like you do.”

“Can I…?” She reached a hesitant hand toward his waist.

Jason nodded, then bit back a moan as her calloused hand closed around his shaft. “Holy crap! It’s so warm. And so hard.”

Jason smiled, and nodded.

“I can see now why people sometimes call it a boner.” She added with a chuckle.

He laughed as well. “This is me, my body, wanting your body.”

“Why didn’t you… it… react this way to Heather earlier?”

“Cause that was just a show. She didn’t want me. She had no intention of doing anything with me. She was trying to prove a point, and maybe embarrass me in the process. She’s sexy, but what she was doing was kind of a turn off.”

“Oh.” She met his gaze again, her cheeks so red it was overpowering her freckles there.

“I’d love to see more of you. To touch you, explore you.”

“But what about Stephani?” She asked, releasing him and withdrawing her hand as if just realizing she shouldn’t be doing that.

“I told you things were complicated with Stephani.” He reminded her. “Well, I’ve found out that she’s not actually Stephani. I’m trying to **** her to admit it, but she’s been deceiving me, right from the beginning. I think the term is catfishing.”

“Oh…” Her eyes grew fierce, “That… that… butthole!” She growled.

Jason couldn’t help but laugh, even in the face of Kate’s indignation. “I’m sorry. If ever you were going to swear, that would have been the appropriate moment.”

She looked down, embarrassed. But then met his gaze again, her eyes shining, “But that means you’re single!”

“I’m available, yes. Though… not technically single.” He said, though a part of him wished he didn’t have to reveal everything yet, not when this next part might drive her away.

“What on earth does that mean?” She frowned at him.

“When I first found out about Stephani, I told Chloe, and she helped me create a plan to expose her. We both agreed to start dating then, but she has some hangups. It’s not my place to explain that, but she wants me to… explore relationships with other girls while she’s working on her personal issues. She’s even encouraged me to pursue you, if you’re willing.”

“That’s weird. Is it like a kinky thing?”

“I guess, in some ways, though she also wants me to have fun when she’s not available for too much physical intimacy. It might be a while before she can give me that sort of thing.”

“Would she be okay with you taking my virginity?” She asked, at once hopeful and hesitant.

“I think that’s one of the reasons she’s encouraged me to pursue you. She thinks my first time should be special, and she knows with you it would be.”

“Oh, you’re… you’re a virgin too?” She asked. And he nodded, “Yes! Oh gosh, this is so sudden.” She covered her face and turned away, “I’ve… I’ve had a crush on you for years, but I’d kind of given up on it.”

“I think I was aware of it, at least subconsciously. And more recently I think I became consciously aware of it.” Jason told her, and moved up to wrap his arms around her from behind, enjoying how well she fit in his arms.

She nestled back against him, then squeaked when his erection poked her in the butt. “We can’t right now though, Heather or Alex could be back any moment.” She squirmed out of his grasp and pointed to his crotch. “Put that away.”

Jason sighed, and fastened his pants. “You know it’s going to be painful if I don’t take care of it before I go to bed.”

“I’m sorry. But it’s too sudden. I want to, but I can’t tonight. But maybe we’ll find time tomorrow. My word, I can’t believe this is really happening.”

“If you change your mind, I’ll understand.” He said, giving her an out as he turned towards the door. “In the meantime, sleep well, Kate.”

The door opened before he could reach for the knob, and there was Heather, who scowled at him, “What’re you doing in here, per… Dick-Head?”

“I was looking for you, then had a chat with Kate, and was just about to leave.” Jason said, and Heather glanced down at his crotch, her eyes widening when she saw the massive bulge in his pajama pants. But she said nothing, simply returned her eyes to his face and glared at him while stepping aside. “Good night, Heather.”

As soon as he was in the hall, he sighed, and relaxed his control of the app effect, willing his erection down. But nothing happened, and a glance at his phone showed that it had worn off several minutes prior. He chuckled silently to himself, and made his way upstairs.

Alex was still in his room chatting with Chloe when he entered. “How’d it go?” She asked, sitting up on Chloe’s bed.

“Oh shit, she blue-balled you?” Chloe observed; her eyes fixed on his pants.

“It went great. She wants to be my first, but just not tonight.” Jason explained, as Alex blushed and averted her eyes from his obvious tent.

“You should help him with that before you go downstairs.” Chloe suggested, and Alex shot to her feet, her face even more red.

“Chloe!” She hissed. “You can’t just… I’m not going to do that just because he’s…” She glanced at Jason apologetically.

For her part, Chloe looked immediately contrite, “I’m sorry. I forget not everyone is as constantly horny as I am. You don’t have to if you don’t want to. But it’d be really hot, if you’d let me watch.”

Alex stared back and forth between them for a moment, then Jason offered, “It’s okay, Alex. If you’re not in the mood, I don’t want to **** you.” He stepped towards her and she allowed him to pull her into a hug. “You sleep well, okay?”

She nodded, and quickly went to the door once he released her, “Sorry.” She mumbled before slipping through and closing it behind her.

“Don’t be so pushy.” Jason said when he turned back towards Chloe.

“I’m sorry. I’m just excited I guess.”

“Maybe you could…”

But the black-eyed girl shook her head, “I want to, but I’m fine. Shit.” She grew flustered.

“It’s okay.” He sat next to her and spread his arms.

She leaned in to him and returned his hug. “Actually… There is one thing we could do.” She said after a moment.

“What’s that?”

“I could watch.”

“Alex just left.”

“No, numbskull.” She lightly slapped his arm. “I meant I could watch you.”

“Oh. Oh!” He blinked at her and blushed. “Are you sure?”

She nodded, “As sure as I can be. Go ahead.” She sat up at the edge of her bed and gestured for Jason to sit on his own bed. He first made sure he had a box of tissues handy, retrieving it from his bag before setting it on the nightstand. He double checked that the door was locked, then he moved next to his bed and started once more unfastening his pants.

“Um, sit first, please?” She asked.

Jason nodded again, and sat down, then finished opening his pants. He waited for her nod before pushing them down his thighs, then hooked his thumbs into the waistband of his boxers and tugged them down as well. As soon as his erection sprang free, Chloe surged backwards, “Oh fuck, hold on.” He immediately covered his lap with a blanket as she pressed herself against the wall, breathing rapidly, her eyes wide, “Fuck… that… that came out of nowhere.”

“Are you okay?” He asked.

She nodded, her hand pressed to her chest, “I thought I could handle that. It’s not like I haven’t seen porn.”

She closed her eyes and took several deep breaths, then turned back to him. “Okay um… lean back, put your legs up on the bed, that way you can’t move towards me quickly. Also um… shit, I think I need the door unlocked, but that would…”

“It’s got a safety lock. If you turn the handle from the inside it automatically unlocks.” He assured her.

She nodded, “Okay, that helps. So yeah, let’s try again?”

“You don’t need to push yourself.”

“I’m fine, shit! Jason, I want to try again.”

He met her gaze and held it, then nodded, “Okay, I’ll go slow, though it went down a little while you were upset.” He made sure he was in as non-threatening a position as possible.

“Maybe that’ll help.” She gave him a timid smile, and he moved the blanket away. This time, when she glanced at his lap she didn’t react so defensively. “Go on.”

So Jason took himself in hand, and began stroking slowly, all while watching Chloe’s reactions. It didn’t take much for him to get fully hard once more, at which point Chloe licked her lips, so he sped up his movements.

“You still doing okay?” He asked after a moment. Then after she nodded, he added, “I don’t want to pressure you, but I could use a little visual stimulation to push me over the edge. Is this turning you on?”

“It is, yes.” She nodded again, then she raised her shirt up, exposing her breasts, and started playing with her already stiff nipples with one hand, while her other hand slipped into the waistband of her pajama pants, stroking herself just out of sight.

He moaned softly, and increased the pace of his strokes once again, until finally he clamped down, grabbing a handful of tissues and then turned sideways so he could release his seed into the disposable napkins.

When he opened his eyes and looked to Chloe her clothes were back in place, and she was on the edge of the bed, watching him closely as he moved to throw away the tissues. Then he was startled to turn back and find she’d moved right next to his bed, standing over him. “It’s gotten soft.” She observed, seemingly fascinated. “Can I touch it?”

“Sure, just be gentle. It takes a bit before I can get hard again.” He offered, moving his hands away.

She sat next to him and extended her hand, cradling his manhood in her palm. She wrapped her fingers around it and gave it a single stroke, then paused as a bit of his semen oozed out of the tip and onto her fingers. She blinked, and brought those fingers to her nose, sniffing at it, then bringing them to her lips. Her tongue peeked out and lapped up a dollop of his cum. “Oh hey, that’s pretty neat.” She murmured, as a shudder went through her.

“And you’re okay being so close?”

She seemed to think about it, considering his soft penis once more, “It’s entirely non-threatening now. So yeah, I’m okay.” She licked up the rest of his cum and then laid down next to him, stretching out along his back as she pushed him on his side and spooned him from behind. “Wow; his is both hot and soothing.”

“I’m glad you like it. And I’m glad it’s working for you.” He said, then asked, “Should I fasten my pants?”

“If you like. It might help in case you start to get hard again.”

He shifted and reached down to pull his boxers and pants back up, then buttoned and zipped his pants. “Maybe I should get changed, and then we can resume cuddling?” He suggested.

“Cuddle a little longer, then you can change.” She said as she nuzzled her nose into the short hairs on the back of his neck.

“Alright.” He enjoyed having his girlfriend resting against him, and focused on giving her this moment.

Eventually, she pulled back enough for him to rise and put on his pajamas. She moved back to her bed and settled under her blankets while he changed. “Sorry I’m so pushy.” She muttered.

“I don’t have a problem with it; I just don’t want you to strain your relationship with Alex.” He unlocked the door and returned to his bed.

“I feel like I haven’t been myself since you and I started dating.” She added as he settled under his own blankets.

“Or maybe this is more true to who you really are, and you haven’t had the chance to let it loose before now.”

“Yeah maybe. I’m just so tired of being fine all the time…” She sighed. “It’s going to be good to move on.”

“Do you want me to unravel that enchantment tonight?”

“No, it can wait till morning. Wouldn’t want an emergency to come up and you have no energy.”

“Alright, sweet dreams.”

“Sweet dreams.”
