Arriving home with Chloe.

Chapter 4 – Finally Making some Progress. (continued)

They drove off immediately, as they both seemed to feel a sense of urgency to put some distance between themselves and the restaurant. But once they’d parked at Jason’s home, Chloe turned in her seat towards him. “Check Summer’s profile.” She urged.

So Jason got out his phone and pulled up the requested profile.

“Damn. That’s a lot of change. Look at that trust.” Chloe observed with an eager grin.

Jason smiled as well. “That’s good. I don’t like the idea of a relationship based purely on lust and sex magic.”

“I like your sex magic.” Chloe protested teasingly.

“Let’s see how much.” He suggested as he exited Summer’s profile and navigated to Chloe’s.

“I guess you really do enjoy that, and not just because it’s hot.” He said, and Chloe leaned across to give him a gentle peck on the lips.

“You doubted my sincerity?”

“No, but I did wonder if maybe a part of you might be a little conflicted or jealous on a subconscious level.”

“Well I’m not. I swear. Besides, even if I wasn’t physically involved, I was still able to satisfy your passion by pushing you into it.” She laid her head on his shoulder and hugged him around the torso with one arm. “That’s very fulfilling to me. Does that make sense?”

“It does. You’ve put any doubts or hesitancy I might have to rest.”

“I guess we should go inside?” She asked after a quiet moment.

“I don’t mind sitting here a little longer.”

“Well, as much as I like cuddling, this isn’t the most comfortable place to do it.” She pulled away and opened her door.

The Navajo girl grabbed a few of her bags from the back seat, and Jason grabbed a few more, then they started along the walk towards the apartment on the second floor. “Just remember, Heather and Kate don’t yet know you and I are dating, so if you want to keep that a secret for now, be mindful of how much PDA we engage in.” Jason reminded her.

“You’re still my best friend, so I’m allowed to hug you.” She replied then Jason was opening the door and led the way into the apartment.

Alex was on the couch with more homework. “Hey Bear. Hey Chloe.” She set her books aside and came to hug Jason’s best friend/girlfriend. “No one else is home.” She explained after a moment.

“So, I guess you want to ask me about…” Chloe gestured between her and Jason.

Alex blushed, but then nodded, “Not here though; in our room.” She took one of Chloe’s bags and led the way into hers and Jason’s bedroom with Chloe and Jason following close behind her. Once inside, Jason set down some of Chloe’s things and then turned to lock the door.

“So you’re really um… into this whole…” Alex asked, her voice so soft it was almost a whisper.

Chloe nodded, “Yes. I can’t… well I can’t give him everything he needs, and I really love hearing about what he does, and I guess watching too.”

“Watching?” Alex glanced at Jason.

He didn’t think now was the best time to try to explain what had happened with Summer without revealing to Alex everything involved with the app, so he simply said, “Only if you’re comfortable with it.”

“I guess I’ll have to think on that a little.” Alex admitted.

“Would it be easier if I went first?” Chloe asked, looking between them. “I don’t want to make things awkward between the two of you.”

“Bit late for that.” Alex said with a chuckle. “But a little awkwardness is not unexpected.”

“I suppose.” Chloe acknowledged. But then shrugged out of her denim jacket. “So, do you want me to…”

Alex’s eyes went wide, “God no, I mean… it’s fine, I’m not…”

“I didn’t think you were gay, just thought it would make it easier if I went first. Would hardly be the first time we’ve seen a bit more of each other.”

“Yeah, but not in front of my brother.”

“C’mon. It’ll be fun.” Chloe goaded, giving Jason’s sister puppy eyes. For Jason’s part he was just trying not to laugh at his girlfriend’s antics.

“Why are you letting her do all the work?” Alex asked him, though he recognized a diversion tactic from his sister when he saw one.

So he stepped forward and pulled the blue-eyed girl into his arms, surprising her with his boldness as he then leaned down to kiss her gently and tenderly. Her eyes fluttered closed, and she relaxed in his embrace after a moment. When he pulled back, she turned to see Chloe’s reaction, the blush on the Navajo girl’s face said it all.

“Wow, so this really is turning you on?” Alex asked. It was one thing to hear about it, another entirely to see it in action, Jason knew from recent experience.

Chloe merely nodded, a pleased smile on her face.

“Well, I’m glad for you then.” Alex said, still blushing herself. “But as fun as this is, I’m still a little uncomfortable, especially so early in the day. Maybe we can do more before bed this evening?”

Chloe nodded once more, and smiled at them. “Yeah, okay. I’m going to need a shower as is, so I might as well handle that now.”

“Yeah, ‘cause it’s going to be in high demand a bit later when Kate and Heather get home.” Alex agreed.

So while Chloe grabbed her toiletries and borrowed a towel to head into the bathroom, Jason and his sister went out to his car to grab the last of his girlfriend’s things, while also giving them a moment to chat alone.

“I almost didn’t believe it. I feel a bit less guilty about what we did last night.” Alex murmured as they walked.

“I’m still getting used to the idea myself. Chloe keeps pushing me, and I’m continuously surprised by it.” Jason admitted.

“Pushing you how?”

“Well, to make things work with you, for instance. She’s offered me great advice on how to deal with some of the issues between us.”

“It’s still a little embarrassing to know she’s aware of all this. Even before you and I started doing anything.”

Jason nodded in understanding as he grabbed two bags out of the trunk, handed one to Alex, and then grabbed the last bag and shouldered it after locking his car. “She also pushed me to flirt with a girl who works at the fast food restaurant we met up at earlier.”

“That petite black girl who’s always eyeing you up?” Alex asked.

Jason blinked then laughed, “Wow, does everyone see these things except me?”

“You can be pretty dense sometimes. But that’s one of the reasons you’re so adorable.” She leaned in and hugged him around the waist as they walked back to the apartment.

Once they got inside, and closed the door, Kate peaked her scarlet head out from the kitchen, still wearing the clothes she’d worn to class, “Oh hey, if you two are out here, who’s in the shower?” She asked, nodding in the direction where they could all hear the water running.

“It’s Chloe.” Alex explained, hefting the girl’s bag for emphasis. “She’s staying the night so she can leave with us for the trip in the morning.”

“Oh, awesome.” Kate smiled. “Didn’t know she’d be here so early.” She then ducked back into the kitchen.

Alex took Chloe’s bag into the bedroom, and Jason set his two bags down before approaching Kate in the kitchen. “So, are you off for tonight like I am, or are you still going to the skating rink later?”

“I’m still going to practice, but I’ll be home a little early so I can get enough sleep for our trip.” Kate assured him. She was fussing back and forth from the fridge to the counter where she was putting together a sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, and ham already in place. And she started cutting cheese while he watched.

When the red-haired girl put down the knife, Jason stepped forward, “Hey.” He said, wrapping his arms loosely around her shoulders. “Alex has been telling me I need to let you guys know how much I appreciate you a bit more often.” He said as Kate stiffened in his arms for a moment, but then relaxed and turned into him to return the hug.

“Alex is a wise girl.” She muttered, closing her eyes as she rested her head against his shoulder. “I probably needed something like this.”

“Well, I’m available for hugs any time.” He said with a smile.

“Me too.” Alex startled them as she hugged them both, sandwiching Jason between the two girls; one soft, her breasts squashed against his back, and the other toned and fit in his arms.

“Couldn’t resist, could you?” Jason said, smiling at his sister over his shoulder.

“You know I’m a cuddle bug.” She said simply, and Kate reached around to give her and him a gentle squeeze.

Then, almost at the same moment, both girls released the embrace, and after another moment where Kate looked at both of them while blushing, she turned back to finish her sandwich and take it to the table to start eating.

It was then that they heard the front door closing. Alex went out into the living room to greet Heather and sit back down on the couch to resume her homework, and Jason stood in the kitchen doorway, “Hey, you hitting the gym again today?” He asked as Heather set her school things down and started towards her room, still in her cheer uniform.

“Yeah, I figure no reason to cancel even if we’re leaving for the lake in the morning.” Heather agreed then paused in front of the bathroom door.

“Who the fuck is in the shower?” She asked, turning back to see Alex on the couch, Jason in the doorway between the living room and the dining room/kitchen area, and Kate at the dining room table with her sandwich.

“It’s Chloe.” Alex explained since Kate’s mouth was full, and she was trying not to laugh.

“Oh, balls. Sorry, shoulda realized. Well, hope she’s out soon, I’m gonna need that shit shortly.”

“I’m sure she will be.” Jason assured the blonde. And sure enough, the cheerleader had disappeared into her room not even a minute before they all heard the water shut off.

Jason moved to his laptop which was open already as he sat down. While it was booting up, he pulled out his phone and checked his notifications.

He replied to Percy’s Skype message before anything else.

:Jason: You’re not wrong, but you still shouldn’t be mean about it.

Then he checked his roommate’s profiles. No change for Alex or Heather, but Kate had a minor attitude boost.

Katherine O’Connell

Relationship: Best Friend’s Brother, Roommate

Prominent Attitudes (out of 100): Loyalty 54, Affection 34 (+1), Friendship 30, Protectiveness 23, Trust 20, Nostalgia 19, Worry 11, Admiration 2, Lust 1 (+1)

Temporary Traits: Lesser Protective Ward

He smiled, and then glanced up as the door to the bathroom opened, but quickly averted his gaze when he saw Chloe was wearing nothing but a towel around her torso.

The Navajo girl chuckled, “I’m not indecent.” She told him.

“We have a rule.” Alex quickly explained, “Because we only have one working shower, and all of Jason’s roommates are girls, he takes extra care not to stare at us when we’re not fully dressed, to help us be more comfortable.”

“I guess if that’s your rule.” Chloe replied.

“What are you…?” Kate’s voice drew Jason to glance in her direction just in time to notice Chloe approaching him out of the corner of his eye.

Then Chloe was leaning down and wrapping her arms around his shoulders from behind, her still-wet hair dampening his cheek. “I feel bad for you, Jay. Living the dream in a house full of cute girls, and you’re not even allowed to look now and then?”

“Piss in a jar! The fuck you waving that ass around?” Heather yelled when she emerged from her room and saw Chloe and Jason.

“Eh, not like Jason can see with me hugging him from behind.” Chloe loosened her grip as she turned to address Heather, then released him completely as she approached the blonde and hugged her as well. “Nice to see you too, Heather.”

Jason resisted the urge to watch, but Heather didn’t yell at her further, so he assumed she wasn’t truly upset. “Hey Chloe, do you have any gym clothes? I was thinking of trying to join Heather for her workout this evening, and thought you might like to come with.” He called over his shoulder.

“I didn’t bring anything like that.” Chloe replied then added. “Hey Kate, can I borrow something from you?”

“Mhmm.” Kate took a moment to swallow her bite of sandwich. “Let me find something for you.” She said, getting up from the table and following Chloe, first into Jason and Alex’s room to grab something from one of her bags, then into Heather and Kate’s room to borrow some clothes while Heather went into the shower.

“Leaving me here alone again?” Alex asked after a quiet moment as Jason got up to go retrieve his gym clothes.

“You could come with us too.” He suggested.

She blushed, and blinked a few times, “I suppose I could. This homework doesn’t need to get done until Monday, so I guess I can spare some time.” She nodded and set her books and papers aside, then got to her feet. “Let me just throw some gym clothes into a bag.” And she was off into their bedroom.

Jason wanted to follow, but figured it would be best to leave her alone. It wasn’t like they could do anything intimate with their roommates in the house, and the likelihood one of them might peak in to see if they were ready at any moment.

Chloe emerged first, wearing sweatpants and a hoodie just slightly too big for her. She glanced around and when she saw Jason was alone she quickly approached, “I got an idea.”

“Is this going to be like your last idea?” Jason asked with a playful smirk.

“Maybe a little. I want you to use that all night stamina branching effect before we start working out.” She whispered.

“Enduring Stamina?” He clarified. “I’m not sure endless sex energy and swift recovery time is going to be that useful at the gym…”

“Idiot.” She swatted his arm lightly, “It’s not just sex energy. The description said it replenishes your stamina, enhances your body’s ability to recover from strenuous exertion, and even bolsters you against injury. None of that specifies it only affects sex.”

“Huh…” Jason blinked as he thought about it. “You think it will help me gain increased benefit from working out strenuously?”

“Think of it this way. Worst case scenario it doesn’t help all that much, but it might just help you get rapid gains in a shorter period of time. Kate will love it.”

“You keep asking me to spend stuff while I’m saving up for you.”

“It’s fine. I want you to have fun with this.” She insisted, “I don’t mind…” She cut herself off as Kate emerged from her bedroom behind her. “Just do it, okay?” Chloe pleaded.

“Alright, I will.” He smiled, and gave Chloe a light hug before meeting Kate’s gaze over her head. “You want in on this?”

Kate blushed and chuckled, coming up behind Chloe and joining the embrace. “You’re in a weird mood today, Jay. But I like it.”

Chloe shivered in between them then squirmed, “Alright, that’s enough.” She mumbled, and Jason immediately released her.

Kate was a little slower, and Jason searched his girlfriend’s face to make sure she was okay. She seemed a little flustered, but was otherwise fine, though she did take a step away from the two of them, reclaiming some space for herself.

That was when Alex emerged from their bedroom with a duffle bag under her arm, at almost the same moment they heard the shower water stop. “I’ll go grab my gym bag.” Jason said, closing his laptop then stepping past Chloe and Kate to head to his room.

The redhead moved back to the dining room where the last few bites of her sandwich were still waiting for her. “You guys have fun.” She told them.

The four of them were out the door in about 5 minutes, and they agreed to take Jason’s car.
