Settling in with Chloe in a twin room before checking out the lake.

Chapter 5 – Lake House Vacation (continued)

“I’ll take a twin bed room with Jason.” Chloe announced, raising a hand.

“We’re allowed to have boys and girls in the same room?” Leo asked.

“Only the adults.” Lena cut in.

The two younger boys grumbled, but didn’t say anything more, though Tristan gave Chloe and Jason an odd look.

“Well, we want a room together.” Percy spoke up, raising hers and Lucy’s hands together.

“That’s three pairs for three of the rooms.” Lena observed. “Are you three going to share a room?” She asked, looking at Alex, Kate, and Heather.

The three of them looked at each other, then nodded.

“Then I’ll bunk with you two.” Helena turned back to the two thirteen-year-old girls. “If that’s alright with you, Luse?” When Percy’s friend nodded, Lena turned back to Alex’s group. “You guys want the master or the lake room? We’ll take the other.” She gestured to herself and the two middle-schoolers.

“Well, the three of us together are bigger, I think. So we’ll take the king-sized bed.” Alex suggested.

“Anyone have any problems with the arrangements?” Helena asked the room at large.

“Just to be clear, that means we’re in one of the twin rooms?” Tristan asked.

“No duh.” Leo lightly punched his friend’s arm. “Can’t you do math?”

“I can, I was just clarifying, since it wasn’t specified.”

“Well, you are correct.” Lena said simply.

“Great, let’s get everyone’s stuff into their rooms.” Alex said as she picked up one of her bags from the floor.

Jason focused on getting his and Chloe’s things into their room, choosing the twin room closest to the stairs since they got up there before Jason’s brother and his friend.

“Well, we’re here. Wish we had a few more days to enjoy the place.” He said, closing the door to give them a small amount of privacy.

“Can we check the app now?” She asked softly.

“We can.” He sat down on the bed he’d claimed, and took out his phone. Chloe sat next to him as he pulled up the MRE app. Of course, her profile was on the top.

“Your playfulness went up.” He observed.

“I love you, but yeah, my feelings haven’t changed a lot over the course of the day.”

He scrolled down and checked the next few profiles, “No change from Alex, Helena’s got a full profile now.”

“Indulgence, that’s a new attitude, I believe.” Jason said, then frowned, “But outraged heartbreak, must have to do with Eugene.”

“You could reveal hidden traits on her.” Chloe suggested.

“I’ll consider that, but I don’t think it’s urgent.” He said before moving on, “And here’s Tristan’s profile.”

Tristan Pellam

“Haven’t seen many hostility traits aside from Heather’s.” Chloe said.

“A little hostility among brothers seems natural, I’m not very surprised.” Jason countered. “Marcus has a pretty high hostility, if I recall correctly.”

Chloe nodded, “Alright, what about Percy and Lucy?”

Lucille Winters

“And, a small change there. Again, nothing too surprising.”

Before he could say more, the door suddenly opened, and Heather stuck her head in. She was wearing a conservative bikini that still looked incredible on her despite not being especially revealing for a bikini. Then again, Jason thought those micro string bikini’s weren’t particularly flattering on anyone. “Hey Tiger, hey Dick-Head, we’re all going out for a dip in the lake, you want to come?”

He glanced at Chloe, who nodded, “We’ll be there in a minute, Brat.” He agreed, and Heather disappeared with a grin, closing the door behind her.

“Check Heather and Kate.” Chloe whispered.

So Jason scrolled back up, since Heather’s profile had moved up to the top just under Chloe’s.

“Well, no change there. But you didn’t really do much with Kate since last night.” Chloe stood up and went to her duffle bag, and began rummaging through it.

“Looking for your swim suit?” Jason asked as he grabbed his own bag.

“Yeah. Don’t get your hopes up though, it’s just a one-piece.”

“I’m sure you’ll look great in it, and I’m not exactly lacking for eye-candy on this trip.” He told her with a teasing smile as he pulled his swim trunks from his bag and turned to find Chloe with a black one-piece and a pair of black and red board shorts as she went towards the door.

“I’m going to change in the bathroom, see you in a bit.”

Jason nodded, and after a brief mental debate, decided to wear his trunks entirely by themselves. He’d typically wear a t-shirt as well, but he wanted to show confidence in his physique particularly in front of Kate, even if he was still working on getting back into shape.

A couple minutes later he met back up with Chloe in the hall. She really did look great in her suit, which left little to the imagination despite covering most of her torso. She smiled at him as he allowed his eyes to roam all along her, from her dainty ankles in strappy sandals, her long legs partially covered by her board shorts, to her thin but toned torso, her suit form fitting enough for him to make out the divot of her belly button.

At that moment, the door at the end of the hall opened, and Lena emerged wearing the skimpiest bikini Jason had ever seen on her. Traditionally, she had preferred one or two-piece suits with wide horizontal bands that she said flattered her figure. Her new suit was a red and a blue triangle over her left and right breasts respectively and a lavender g-string so thin that it practically turned invisible between her legs.

Jason tore his gaze away before he could be accused of staring, at which point he was able to observe the straps crossing along the back of Chloe’s suit just under her shoulder blades, leaving her lower back completely bare. A racer back, he thought it was called.

“Looking good, Lena.” Chloe praised.

“Thanks. Don’t look away from me Jason. Eugene will never get to see this, so I want at least one handsome man to admire me in it, even if it’s my brother.”

Jason smiled, and with that invitation turned back and gave his older sister a slow up and down appraisal. “Well, it’s definitely different to your usual look, but you make it look good.” He complimented, feeling she probably needed the ego boost.

She smiled, and nodded, “Thanks. Now let’s catch up to the others, I know Lucy and Percy have already gone out to test the water. It’s probably still pretty cold though.”

Jason nodded, and led the way downstairs and out towards the lake, where they could see Leonidas and Tristan in the water, the latter of whom was trying to get some of the girls to join them, though Lucy and Persephone seemed **** to approach closer than the water’s edge. Chloe nudged Jason with her elbow, and when he looked her way she pointed with her chin towards where Alex, Kate, and Heather were setting up lounge chairs, and mouthed the word ‘sunscreen’.

Jason smiled and quickened his steps, approaching the three girls just as Heather was pulling a tube of suntan lotion from her bag. “Want a little help making sure you get that on evenly?” He asked.

Heather whipped her head around and stared at him open mouth for a moment, then she turned back to Tristan calling out to them and when she looked back at Jason she was wearing a sly grin. “You know what, Dick-Head? Yeah. Why not?” She handed him the tube and laid down on her stomach on the lounge chair.

He noticed Chloe grinning as she moved past them towards the dock, and even Alex and Kate were giving him pleased smiles.

Jason’s middle sister was wearing a frilly pink one-piece suit which looked like it might have been a size too small for her, as it was stretched taught across her bust and seemed to ride up a bit between her legs. The red-head, on the other hand, was wearing… an actual wet suit. It covered her from neck to wrist to ankle, though it did at least highlight her strong physique since it was quite form-fitting. “You’re not going to tan at all wearing something like that.” Jason observed as he squirted some sunscreen on his hands and rubbed them together to warm it up.

“That’s kinda the point. Have you ever seen me tan?” She asked.

Jason shook his head.

Alex giggled, “She just burns like a ripe tomato.”

“That bad huh?” Jason placed his hands on Heather’s mostly exposed back and started rubbing lotion into her shoulders.

Kate shrugged, and began rubbing suntan lotion onto her face, then moved to her feet.

By that point Jason was applying lotion along Heather’s arms. He took a glance at her face to see she was still wearing that self-satisfied grin. He relaxed and decided to just enjoy getting his hands on her for once, appreciating her fit body. She was all generous feminine curves with just enough muscle tone to show without looking bulky. She had molded herself into a work of art, the paragon blonde cheerleader. He appreciated how much effort she put into maintaining her appearance. Almost as much as Kate put into maintaining her powerful and swift physique.

Kate stood up then and after putting on her goggles and picking up a white and green foam body-board she sprinted down to the beach and launched herself into the water with a surprisingly small splash, then began paddling out into the lake past the four astonished teens near the shore.

When Jason was smoothing lotion across Heather’s lower back, she shifted so she could glance back at him over her shoulders. “Were you planning on doing that shit on my legs too?” She asked, wiggling her hips and thighs a bit to draw attention to them.

“Of course. I have to be thorough.” He replied.

“Don’t think that’s fucking presumptuous?”

“No. Anything less would be half-assing it.”

She laughed, “Can’t argue with that, well you better start on my ass then.”

Jason blinked. Was she bluffing, was she testing him? Ultimately, he decided it wasn’t worth the risk, and simply started rubbing sunscreen into the backs of the cheerleader’s calves.

“Chicken-shit.” Heather muttered beneath her breath.

“Knock it off, Heather. I’d love to get my hands on your ass, but not enough to risk your friendship when we’re just starting to get along again.”

“Don’t provoke him, Heather.” Alex added.

Heather sighed, “Fine, whatever.” She closed her eyes and turned away from him.

When Jason had finished massaging the lotion into Heather’s calves and feet, he moved up, prepared a fresh layer of lotion on his hands, and very quickly applied it to what little of her ass was peeking out from the edges of her suit.

The blonde girl yelped, and turned half around to gaze up at him accusingly. “I did say I’d be thorough.” He told her with his own shit-eating grin. “Now turn over and let me do your front.”

“You’re a rat-fink.” She told him. “It’s a good thing for you I like you.”

“You literally asked him to put lotion on your ass.” Alex reminded her.

“I know. That’s the only reason I’m not kicking his perv ass right now.” She put her sunglasses on and rolled onto her back. “Warn me before you attack my tits at least.”

“There’s not a lot of them showing.” He observed as he started at her neck and collar bone, smearing lotion across her skin as her chest rose and fell beneath his fingers.

“You’re still ogling them, so even mostly covered I fucking got it.” She shook her chest, which definitely drew the eye and caused a stirring in Jason’s groin in spite of himself.

“Just enjoy me while you’ve got me here.” He replied, “I’m going to get your chest.” He added, spreading some lotion along her cleavage and then the sides of her breasts up into her arm pits, causing her to giggle and squirm.

“Stooop!” She cried, clamping her arms down over her ribs.

“Don’t worry, I’m done there.” He got some more lotion and rubbed it into her stomach. She tensed a little, anticipating more tickling, but he was careful as he dipped down to the waistband of her bottoms as it arched high on her hips.

He was even more careful as he massaged more lotion into her thighs, especially as he stroked along her inner thighs, right up to the leg holes of her suit, just inches from her center. But then he moved lower, and Heather let out a breath he hadn’t realized she’d been holding.

“Fuuuuck! I should never have agreed to this.” She threw one arm over her eyes.

“Am I getting you worked up?” Jason asked. He grinned and glanced from Heather to Alex, and then down to the lake where he could see the others playing, including Helena. It was just the three of them up here on the lounge chairs, though it looked like Kate might be coming back their way, circling wide to avoid the main group.

An idea began to form in Jason’s mind. He wanted to do something for her, to get her to see how gorgeous she was, not just in spite of her dedication to fitness, but because of it. “Heather, I need to ask you and Alex a favor.”
