August 2017, Los Angeles, California.
"I don't know about this, Karen." Elizabeth Olsen said to Karen Gillan as the buxom brunette placed her tea on my coffee table. Both women sat on two couches that were placed beside a small coffee table.
"It's good for us! It's especially good for you! You have... assets." Karen pointed toward Lizzie's lower body. She wasn't wrong. Lizzie was the borderline definition of femininity. Wide womanly hips trapped behind tight blue jeans and heavy breasts packed into a black bra that was easily seen through her plain white shirt. Lizzie had a certain vibe about her that tended to take my breath away.
Her lips were cherry red, a perfect contrast to her pale skin. Even in plain clothing and with her long medium-brown hair tied in a neat downward bun, she oozed a natural sexiness.
Not that Karen didn't. Karen was sexy in her own, fun and spunky way. She wore a bright yellow floral surplice minidress with flip-flops. The hem of the dress met her long, boundless pale legs that she currently had resting on the cushions of my couch.
Her toenails and fingernails were painted a pretty electric blue and as she ran them through her sexy fiery red mane, I was hypnotized. Karen's makeup looked phenomenal with just enough blush and mascara to give her a similar distinguished look to match Lizzie's
I was standing amongst these beautiful superstars, who I invited into my home, and I was standing behind my kitchen counter wearing dingy sweatpants and an old hoodie. I felt like a schlub, not worthy of being in these women's presence. I felt that way until Karen faced me, those soft brown eyes piercing a hole in my chest.
"What do you think, Jason?" Karen asked.
"Um..." I'd lost my train of thought while ogling them.
"Me and Lizzie were planning on goin' on a hike. We wanted to bring you along."
"No," Lizzie turned to face me. "She wants to go hiking with you and drag me along."
"Where do you plan on going?" I asked Karen.
"Anywhere. Probably that trail near here. Nice and secluded." Karen smiled to herself.
"You see what she's doing right?" Lizzie asked.
"No." I shrugged.
"Karen wants some dick out in the great green mountains and she wants me to tag along and be the bag carrier." Lizzie said plainly.
"That's not... That's not true! I want us to get some sun together. You're getting pale."
"First of all, rude. Secondly, you and I both know I'm not exactly an outdoorsy person. I've got my garden and that's it."
"You can become an outdoorsy person with us. Right, Jason?" Karen turned back to me.
"I mean I don't mind a hike," I said while scratching the back of my head.
"See," Karen outstretched her arms. "You're the only one that doesn't want to take a hike. It won't even be that long. Just for the weekend, you know?" Karen explained to Lizzie.
"Like I said, I'm not being the bag lady," Lizzie said.
"You won't! I won't bring that much, I'm sure Jason won't! It'll just be us and our backpacks."
"Uh-huh. Sure..." Lizzie crossed her arms again.
"I know what your hangup is and I promise this has nothing to do with it," Karen said.
"So you understand why I don't want to go?" Lizzie said.
"No sex." Karen put her left hand to her chest and her right hand up.
"Really?" Lizzie's mouth formed into a small smirk.
"Yes! Tell her, Jason!" Karen turned to me.
"I," I started, but I figured that I should tell the truth. "I honestly can't make any promises." I shrugged.
"See!" Lizzie snapped.
"But, I won't make you a third wheel, Lizzie. This is for fun. If you want, can you bring a friend? Make it even?" I assured.
"I don't have anyone to bring. But, since you don't plan on leaving me out to dry unlike a certain someone, I'll tag along." Lizzie's cool demeanor disappeared when she hit me with her warm smile.
"Great! I know you'll love it! I'm a master planner!" Karen got off the couch and hugged Lizzie. Lizzie gave her a weak arm hug.
"What time are we meeting on the trail?" I asked as I made my way closer to the couches.
"I was thinking around 8AM tomorrow morning. Tomorrow is Saturday, right?" Karen asked as she got back to the couch.
"Yes. Master planner..." Lizzie snorted.
"That works for me, Lizzie?" I turned to her.
"Sure. That's fine." Lizzie nodded.
"Wonderful!" Karen rose to her feet and beckoned for Lizzie to do the same. Lizzie reluctantly agreed and Karen pulled the three of us in for a group hug.
"This is goin' to be great!" Karen said. I was in the middle of their hug since I was the tallest. Karen and Lizzie were facing each other. Lizzie still had a stern expression on her pretty face.
"No sex," Lizzie said.
"No. Sex." Karen said slowly.

I was at the beginning of the trail by 7:35 AM. I stood there warming up by stretching and enjoying the view. The sun shone through the swaying tall trees, creating a comforting combination of shade and a cool breeze.
The trail was long and was definitely going to take us a while. If we, well if Karen was serious about this, we could finish early and make our way back. That was only if Karen was serious about her promise of no sex.
I didn't tell either of them about how I felt about the promise. If I got laid out here then I would be fine. If I didn't, I didn't. I obviously wasn't going to say no if Karen offered, but at the same time, I didn't want to hurt Lizzie's feelings. I knew what it was like to be the third wheel.
I stretched and watched the early morning sunrise over the trees for thirty minutes. Lizzie parked downhill and I heard her walking uphill.
"You made it!" I shouted. Lizzie gave me a fake smile. She wore forest green snug leggings and a simple black cotton tank top with dark brown hiking boots. Her eyes were covered by a stylish pair of sunglasses and her hair was tied back into a ponytail.
"If I pass out," Lizzie stopped speaking due to the constant crunching of her shoes against the rocks.
"You're not going to pass out," I assured her when she finally reached me.
"How can you be so sure?" Lizzie huffed.
"Are you telling me you didn't put any water in that backpack?" I asked.
"Karen said all I needed was the bare minimum."
"Why?"
"She said there's plenty of spring water and fresh air."
"Alright... Where is she?" I asked while checking my watch.
