Everyone met up again in the lobby, with all the other Host Club members holding bags. Haruhi looked at the bags pointedly, then at Tamaki with an arched eyebrow.

"What's going on?"

Tamaki went a pinkish colour and the Host Club sighed. The one thing he needed to tell Haruhi to pack was a swimsuit – so of course Tamaki had forgotten to tell Haruhi about their plans to use the swimming pools.

Kyoya was about to step forward to offer buying her a swimsuit from the hotel gift shop – which would add to her debt to avoid suspicion, naturally – when he narrowed his eyes at the twins who were surreptitiously making their way to Haruhi's side.

"Don't worry, Haruhi-chan" purred the twins, as they draped themselves on her.

"Like we would ever let you wear anything other than our mother's creation on our holiday!"

Haruhi looked at them suspiciously. If this was ANYTHING like that red string bikini they had offered her at the Ootori beach resort, there would be hell to pay. No way was she wearing something that looked like she was wearing a BDSM cosplay outfit

As one, the twins offered a small black bag from behind their backs, with mistrustful pink tissue paper poking up from the top.

Haruhi then raised both eyebrows but said nothing. She couldn't really argue, seeing as she didn't have a costume. The twins smirked because they knew this very well themselves, seeing as they had Ranka supervise her packing to make sure she didn't bring any hideous swim suits from the back of her closet.

"Alright" she sighed resignedly as she accepted the bag held out to her. Before she could peak inside, the twins held her hands.

"No, no, no!" Hikaru reprimanded.

"Only once you are inside the changing room" scolded Kaoru.

'This is getting better and better' Haruhi thought sarcastically.

Another sigh escaped her before being dragged towards the changing hall. She quickly had a glimpse at Kyoya and was unnerved to see a smirk playing round his lips.

Kyoya gave her a small devilish grin as she mouthed the word 'traitor' at him.

Once safely inside the deserted changing room, Haruhi looked inside the bag and groaned. But then again, what had she expected from the infamous Hiitichan twins? She slowly pulled out the skimpy, red bikini top. Then out came the matching black bottoms with ties round the thighs.

She looked helplessly around the dressing room, but without any other alternative, Haruhi changed into the swimming costume. It took a few minutes, but once she was standing in front of the floor length mirror, Haruhi had to admit it. Whilst she wasn't one for vanity, she certainly knew that she looked pretty good in this swim suit

The ties that wound just under her hip made her legs appear longer than they actually were, and the vibrant colour stood out against her creamy skin. The bikini top then displayed her washboard stomach and cleverly hid her rather flat chest, using ruffles to emphasize her breasts.

All in all, the outcome wasn't too bad!

Haruhi turned towards the way that led to the pool and quickly stopped, taking in her surroundings. It truly felt like she was in a tropical rainforest. The pristine pools glistened as the sunlight reflected off the waters' surface, the sound of exotic birds echoing around her. From what her eyes could tell paths led their way through the man-made forest of ferns, palm trees and other assorted plants. What they led to, she could only imagine being other pools and Jacuzzis other than the ones in front of her.

She found the other Host Club members waiting for her on the sun loungers outside. Mind you it wasn't hard to miss them; with Mori's imposing figure standing calmly to the side as Honey happily paddled in the shallows, Kyoya was writing something in that black notebook of his, and Hikaru and Kaoru were challenging Tamaki to another water fight. Again.

Not one to be embarrassed by feeling slightly out of her depth, Haruhi strode confidently forward to meet her friends, unaware of the eyes of the men surrounding her watching with lusty gazes. Her friends looked up and were immediately stunned into silence.

Honey was the first one to break the silence, as with wide eyes grew he commented "Haru-chan, you look so kawaii!"

"Ah" agreed Mori, quickly nodding his head in assent.

The twins came over their astonishment to check their toy and the bikini she was wearing before giving a thumbs up in approval.

"Yay! We like!" they shouted. They had designed it especially for Haruhi, knowing how to flaunt her body even if she didn't know how, with their clothing designs.

A furious blush came over Tamaki's face. It's just – there was so much skin showing! Too much, in his opinion. However, knowing that they were at a pool and she was there with him cough cough THEM, it should be fine. He edged his way over, before extending his arms and pulling Haruhi into his embrace

"Daughter looks cute!" Tamaki shouted out, his arms wrapped tightly around her neck.

"Senpai can't…breathe…!" Haruhi choked.

"Tono, stop sexually harassing our toy! Try to control yourself!"

Tamaki stopped and stepped away, embarrassed. He had forgotten he himself was half naked, only wearing his swimming trunks.

Kyoya had been sitting on one of the sun loungers under the shade of the umbrella, but his eyes had snapped up to Haruhi upon her arrival.

Kyoya's POV

I cursed softly under my breath as my Haruhi stood before us in… you couldn't really call them clothes, more like scraps of material! But my eyesight be damned if I didn't admit she looked spectacular. I felt my muscles tighten and heat pool at the bottom of my stomach, trying to control my reaction. Not that I even had the strength to go over to her, to move for Christ's sake! It was all being used to keep in control

Haruhi turned her head slightly so that her eyes could reach mine, and a small smile played around her lips when she read the emotions swirling in my eyes. I could see the same feelings reflected in her eyes as well, burning like a soft fire that was by no means near extinguishing.

I looked past her and was met with the gazes of other men gazing at Haruhi's appearance with lust. I scowled at all of them, trying to convey with my eyes that they were unwelcome and if they didn't get the message, then some of them would find themselves in some very unsavoury situations. Luckily for them, they were all smart enough to understand and backed off.

Haruhi had searched over her shoulder to see what had caught my attention. Realising what it was, I saw her roll her eyes before she turned back to me and giggled, trying to cover it behind her hand.

Normal POV

Haruhi walked over to the sun lounger next to Kyoya and settled there

Everyone seemed slightly surprised because they thought she would have rather explored the pool area, than just sit around. As if reading their thoughts she assured the others.

"I just want to relax for a while on the loungers before trying out the pools."

"Don't forget the jacuzzis and sauna's Haru-chan!" perked up Honey.

"They are located all over the pool area and are really nice!"

"Thanks Honey-senpai" Haruhi said "I will try them out later, perhaps."

Everyone seemed satisfied at this explanation and went off to do their own thing.

This left Kyoya and Haruhi alone, as the sun loungers they were using were more isolated from the other ones.

Haruhi stretched leisurely and smiled at the feel of the sun's rays kissing her skin. Her gaze turned and met Kyoya's, who gave a small smile back.

"Kyoya, could you help me out please and rub in some sun lotion on my back?"

Kyoya was a bit startled at the request but complied, all too willing to run his hands up and down Haruhi's almost naked back.

His reply was in the form of reaching for the sun lotion and coming to sit next to Haruhi, who then turned onto her front and waited.

She has way too much skin thought Kyoya as he stared at the creamy expanse of skin, waiting for his touch. He squirmed uncomfortably at the thought and tried to think of anything other than the siren laying before him as he squirted some of the lotion onto his hands and rubbed them together, before smoothing it into Haruhi's skin.

Trees. Yes trees aren't sexy at all… Coniferous, Mountain Ash, Giant Sequoia, Manna Gum, Redwood –

Haruhi gave a pleasurable sigh as his hands caressed her back.

Shiiit focus Ootori! CyprusOakCedarSpruce –

Haruhi squeaked as the touch of his hands became deeper, Kyoya oblivious to it as he tried to distract himself. Haruhi knew that most of the lotion had been absorbed at this point, but the it just felt so good that she couldn't help the moan that escaped her mouth.

Kyoya's hands stopped.

"Are you okay Kyoya?" she asked shyly

She jumped slightly as his reply came, very near her ear.

"As much as I enjoy hearing you moan from my touch, I am finding it just a bit difficult to continue when we are still in such a public place. So unless we want to be reported for public indecency, it is probably best that I stop" he whispered seductively.

Haruhi's eyes widened a bit as she absorbed what he had said. She turned onto her back and took Kyoya's hands to pull her up so that she was sitting opposite him.

Looking round to see that they were unaccompanied, she leaned forward and pressed her lips against his, placing her hands on the back of his neck to deepen the kiss. Just as Kyoya began to respond with equal passion Haruhi broke the kiss and shifted forward so that her lips were right next to his ear.

"Aren't I always distracting?" she asked seductively, as she tilted her hips forward to press against the tent of his swimming trunks.

Kyoya growled into her neck

"Haruhi…"

She took that as a yes. Grinning, Haruhi's hands guided Kyoya's face to hers and gave him a chaste kiss on the lips. When they pulled apart, both still had their eyes closed and opened them at the same time to see their loved one smiling back.

"Would you like to take that look around of the pools now?" Kyoya asked.

Haruhi nodded her head and entwined her fingers with his before rising, as both went to see what was offered in this paradise.
