Dinner! Zack and Madison sneak off together, but they have an audience

"Pepperoni done!" Heather called. "Come and get it!"

The first night's dinner was frozen pizzas, easy and quick, though they could only bake one at a time, so there was a new pizza course every fifteen minutes, and another one into the oven. They'd started with cheese, moved on to veggie, and were starting on the meat toppings.

At lunchtime, Ashley, Chloe, Victoria, Gavin and Kurt had come back from the lake, wondering what had happened to the rest of them. There had been a strange vibe in the air, and some distracted expressions on the faces of Brandon, Madison, Zack, Lisa, and Heather. Hannah and Taylor had been in good spirits.

After lunch, everyone had gone down to the lake, except Victoria who pleaded a need for a nap. "I think she's writing in her diary," Ashley had shared with Chloe and Lisa. Kurt had chimed in, "I bet I'm in there." This time, everyone made sure that there was enough sunscreen and water at easy reach.

Following an afternoon at the lake, there was time for showers and naps and other horizontal activities. Brandon had taken Ashley into the master bedroom, tied a sock on the door and given her a lively enough ride to provoke smirks, giggles, and a couple of quiet cheers from the folks outside in the corridor. Victoria had curled up in the corner of the couch with a book. Hannah, Taylor, and Heather had disappeared into the lake bedroom. Kurt noticed the edge of a doorstop underneath the bedroom door and a few minutes later, he heard what he was convinced were suspiciously lesbian wriggles and squeaks. Zack and Madison had gone off for a walk. Chloe was sitting in the living room with Victoria, reading a light romance-suspense book. Gavin was holed up in the bedroom with his game machine, and Lisa wandered around the cabin, pausing and staring off into the distance. Kurt had tried to chat up Lisa, and couldn't tell if he was getting anywhere.

Eventually the light had started fading. Heather had declared dinner, assigned tasks to clean up and set the table and get the pizzas baking. Brandon and Kurt had brought out beers, and Ashley and Heather had been the first girls to accept.

They had been on the third pizza and the second beer, for some of them, when their first member tapped out.

"Gotta crash," Ashley said, yawning. She smiled at Brandon. "I had a nice day." She did a little hip swivel. "If tomorrow's like today, I couldn't ask for anything more."

"G'night, babe," Brandon said. "I'll do my best for you."

Hannah and Taylor were next to retire. They didn't look precisely sleepy, but they brushed their teeth, said their goodnights, and went to the lake room. The light under the door went out.

Kurt finally coaxed a laugh out of Lisa. He was sure he was getting somewhere, and hey, they were sharing a bedroom. If he could lay it on light and steady, he was gonna get some, and Lisa looked like she needed a good seeing-to.

Later on, Kurt collected a set of warning looks and words from Victoria, Chloe, and Heather. "Don't hurt Lisa, asshole, or you're walking home at first light," Heather had responded to his protestations of honorable intentions.

Light and steady, Kurt told himself. That was the ticket. No promises, no broken hearts. For a good time, call Kurt, huh? He could stand behind that.

Gavin vanished back into the bedroom with his electronics. Victoria and Chloe got ready for bed and headed to their respective rooms. Lisa and Kurt took turns in the hall bathroom and went to the bedroom they were sharing. Heather and Brandon split a beer, then Heather took her turn in the bathroom and tiptoed into the lake bedroom.

Brandon yawned and took his own turn in the bathroom, not wanting to wake up Ashley and Victoria by going in and out of the master bedroom. When he finished, the cabin was quiet and dark. The door to the deck was ajar. Zack and Madison were outside, leaning close to each other and talking. Brandon nodded, feeling an uneasy feeling in his shoulders. Support 'em, he reminded himself. Let's support 'em, he'd said to Lisa.

Brandon watched his sister and his best friend from the darkened living room. When Madison pulled Zack's head down to kiss her, Brandon's cock throbbed. He felt guilty but couldn't look away. He should go. But just like earlier today, he stayed to watch.
