I woke up to the sound of chatter and clanking of cutlery and porcelain in the kitchen. James and the girls were getting breakfasts ready and the table set up. Strangely, I felt there was someone missing from the group.
"Morning," I said, my eyes narrow slits, still adjusting to the morning light.
"Morning," the girls greeted in almost perfect sync as they went about their tasks.
"Mornin' mate," James smiled as he set some plates down on the table, "You sleep all right?"
I sat up on the couch, "Yeah, thanks. Your leg okay?"
"Yeah, fine thanks,"
"What happened to your leg?" Alex asked, dropping two slices of bread into the toaster.
"I kicked the sofa in the night," James replied, and pulled his trouser leg up to have a look at it, "It's left a bit of a bruise, but it feel fine,"
"Wow, that's really come out," Alex gasped at his bruise. My view of it was obscured by one of the benches in the kitchen, but I'm sure he'd show it again later on.
"Anything I can do to help?" I asked.
"Well, Cassie left to get some things at the shop about 15 minutes ago," Jess answered, "Maybe you can go and give her a hand bringing the bags back,"
So Cassie was the one missing. I needed to talk to her about last night anyway. There was something just not right about the way she left, "Sure, I'll just get changed and head down now,"

The shops were a short walk down the road and took no more than 10 minutes to reach from the lodge. It wasn't a lot of shops, just a Post Office, a small branch of the Co-Operative and a Newsagents, but enough to keep us going.
As I reached the gravelly forecourt to the shops, I saw the automatic doors of the Co-Op open, and Cassie totter out with what looked like six bags of shopping in each hand.
"Cassie!" I called over to her, and she looked up at me, and a smile broke over her face, as she hurriedly navigated the gravelly forecourt in plimsoles, her face twitching and her teeth clenching as she felt every jagged piece of gravel poke and jab at her feet through the soles of her shoes.
"Here," she said, handing me the bags from one hand, "You take those," I held my hand up to hers and slipped the bags from her hand. They were rather heavy, despite there only being two of them. As soon as they were gone from her hand, Cassie shook her hand in the air, helping relieve the stress from her hand where the bag straps had been digging in.
"That everything?" I asked, switching one of the bags to my opposite hand.
"Yup," Cassie confirmed, moving one of her bags to the other hand as well.
"The girls thought you might need a hand," I explained, "Seems like they were right,"
Cassie laughed, "Well I thought I could get us some supplies for tomorrow's breakfast,"
"Oooh," I exclaimed, "Such as?" God, please let there be hash browns in there!
"I got us some sausages, some eggs, some bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding for Jess and Kate, bread for toast, ketchup, brown sauce and cooking oil," Cassie listed. Damn it! No hash browns!
"Lovely! Look forward to that!" I grinned, and we started walking back to the lodge. While walking, I took note of what Cassie was wearing for the day.
Plimsoles, of course, a pair of black leggings, a blue skirt, and her hair was tied back in a ponytail. She was also wearing a red, wine and black chequered shirt with the top 3 or so buttons undone, allowing her to show off an impressive, deep and hypnotic cleavage.
I managed to snap myself away from staring long enough to say something, though by that time we were halfway back to the lodge!
"Ummm, Cassie," she cocked her head as she looked at me, "I wanna talk to you about last night,"
"Ah," Cassie turned her head away as we walked, looking down at the ground, "I thought you might,"
"Hmmm," I replied, "Look, if you don't want to talk about it, we don't have to,"
"No, no, I think we need to," Cassie stopped and turned to look at me, "I want to be honest with you, but it's kind of embarrassing,"
"It's okay," I tried to reassure her, "I won't mention it to anyone, it'll be just between you and me, okay?"
She looked up at me and sighed, "Okay," she took a moment to compose herself, "Last night was..."
'...a mistake?' I thought to myself, anticipating the conclusion to that sentence in the moment she took to draw breath and complete it.
"Last night was the first time in 3 years I've engaged in sexual activities with someone else," Cassie was visibly blushing, "After that fiasco in high school, and after I was betrayed by people I thought were my friends, my parents sent me to an all girls college, their logic being that I shouldn't be around boys because that's how the trouble all started,"
I was stunned, especially after last night. How the hell did she manage to swallow all of my cum without spilling a single drop? I'm sure I must've pumped at least a gallon into her!
"So it's like I'm a virgin again," Cassie bit her lip, "I'd forgotten almost everything, what a cock felt like, what it tastes like, and how it felt when someone else made me cum!"
"You could orgasm when you were 16?"
"Yup!" Cassie announced somewhat proudly, "Was one of the lucky ones! Got finger fucked to my first one by a rugby player! Last night, you made me feel all of that again and more," Cassie slipped both bags into one hand and pulled out a bottle of baby oil, holding it up in front of us, "This is going to help me thank you for that tomorrow," she slipped it into her bag again.
"Shit..." I felt my heart skip a beat. I wanted her now! I wanted to throw her down into the road and fuck her right there, but then I realised, "Hang on...tomorrow? James and I are going abseiling tomorrow before we go home, I won't have time to screw around with you,"
"Then pretend to injure yourself so we can! Twist your ankle, your knee, anything, and we have a good few hours alone,"
"Well, I suppose I could..."
I was interrupted by a handsfree kiss from Cassie before I could finish my sentence. When she broke the kiss I continued.
"As I was saying, I suppose I could, but what about you?"
"Don't worry, I have a plan," Cassie smiled, "The girls are wanting to go out onto the lake, so we hired two Canadian Canoes for a couple of hours, which takes them out of the picture,"
"Awesome," I said, as we began moving back to the lodge, "What about today? What do you have planned?"
"Swimming and sun bathing," Cassie replied, "There's a pool behind Reception. Swing by after lunch, and we can play a little then,"
"Sounds like fun,"
*****
After breakfast, James and I got kitted out with hiking boots, a pair of thick socks on over our regular socks, shorts, t-shirts, caps, sunglasses and I was carrying the backpack with some bottled water and the map of the route in it.
The walk would take about 2 hours to complete, so we'd be back for about for 11, giving us a bit of time before the rock climbing, which was booked for 3.
It was peaceful along the walk, the only sounds being the crunch of the dusty trail beneath out feet, the gentle lapping of the lake against the shore, and the occassional bird twittering in the boughs of the trees above us.
Along the walk, James managed to spot a few squirrels, and insisted he saw a deer, but I never got a glimpse of it. There were a good few hills to climb along the walk, and by the end, my legs felt like they were made of concrete!
We arrived back at the lodge a bit later than anticipated, stumbling in through the door at half past 11. I fell back onto the couch, exhausted. James managed to soldier into the kitchen and make some ham sandwiches for our lunch.
We cracked open a couple of chilled bottles of cider and instantly felt better, forgetting about our tired legs.
"Right," I announced as I finished my sandwich, heaving myself up onto my legs, "I'm gonna head to the sauna. Wanna join?"
"Nah, mate, I'm shattered," James took a sip of his cider, "I think I'll have a kip before climbing,"
"Right oh," I went upstairs to find my bag and get my swimming shorts out. I found it in the wardrobe of the room with the double bed, and found my swimming shorts near the bottom of the bag.
I half fell down the stairs, my legs were working mainly by gravity now, shorts scrunched up in my hand. I went into the bathroom and took a towel off the rack, briefly remembering last night and feeling my cock twinge to the memory, "Right, see you later,"
"See you, mate," James replied as I headed out of the door and towards Reception.
*****
"I'm sorry, Mr Dean, but since you are not currently residing in a lodge on our grounds, you are not allowed to use the pool facilities," the receptionist behind the desk was not the same woman from last night.
"Look, I paid for a lodge, it got double booked, me and my friend had to go elsewhere," I replied, "I was not refunded the difference between paying for this place and the other, so the way I see it, I have still paid for the right to use the amenities if I want to,"
The receptionist sighed, typed something into the computer, and turned the screen to face me, "Look, see here, it says on the screen that a B. Green is currently staying in Lodge 4, and I see nowhere that G. Dean is booked into the same Lodge for this weekend,"
"It'll be under J. Lang. My friend booked it for the two of us,"
"Do you see a J. Lang on the screen?"
I looked at the screen, humouring her, "No,"
"And do you know what that means?"
