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,"
