Ch.50

After breakfast, Ron lead everyone to the backyard and began stretching. It wasn't long before he and Yori began performing the workout Xu Ming Yue had thought him. After completing the sets they had worked up a sweat.

"Alright we ready to go." Ron announced after a while of catching his breath.

With that, they were off heading to one of the trails that Ron and Yori frequented. When Ron saw where Yori was leading he silently nodded, this trail was the easiest one. It's slopes and footing easy for beginners.

"Remember to pace yourselves, we don't want anyone getting hurt." Ron reminded as he and Yori entered their usual pace.

"Wow!" Monique said as Ron and Yori disappeared ahead of them. "I don't think I'll be able to match that pace."

Tara and Bonnie briefly exchanged glances before Tara sighed and spoke. "I could try but I wouldn't be able to finish."

"Same goes for me." Bonnie admitted though from her expression one could tell she still wanted to try.

At a light jog they continued after Ron and Yori, slowing down here and there to make sure they were safe. By the time they made it to Ron's place they found Ron and Yori cleaned up and in casual wear for the lake.

Walking over to a chair Monique sat down panting and said. "I seriously underestimated your athletic abilities Ron."

Smiling, Ron responded. "What can I say the Ronman is full of surprises. Which reminds me, Bonnie, Tara, I got to tell you something."

The slightly panting Tara and Bonnoe looked up from the chairs they were seating in at that, asking. "What is it?"

"Well... there's no easy way to say this but last night I brought you all into my dream." Ron admitted.

'This is going to be good.' Thought Monique as she remembered exactly how that dream played out for her.

There was a long moment of silence till Tara, blushing profusely spoke up. "Is this related to your healing ability?"

"Yes it is, but I have yet to get it under control." Ron admits.

"There's no way." Bonnie says having a hard time believing it. "And what healing ability?"

"One sec." Ron says and goes into the house for a moment before he comes out holding a knife. "It's easier if I show you."

"Show me what?" Bonnie asks as Ron holds up his hand to show her there is no wound. "There's nothing there."

A moment later Ron drags the knife across his hand. Even knowing he could heal Monique didn't like to see Ron get hurt and had to close her eyes for a moment to keep from freaking out. Bonnie reacted in a similar manner to Tara and Monique when they first saw it.

"Are you insane?! We have to get you to a hospital." Bonnie quickly took off her shirt, revealing her lace bra and pressed it to the wound trying to slow the bleeding.

"It's okay." Ron said and closed his eyes to focus.

"Listen to me Ron, we have to get you to a hospital, you might have damage some nerves and it can affect your ability to use your hand." Bonnie said still not understanding why he was calm about everything. "A little help here!" After Bonnie asked for help and saw that no one moved to help her she nearly went ballistic. "What are you doing? Ron's hurt!"

Tara got up seeing as Bonnie was near hysterical. "I know this is surprising but you need to breath and calm down, Ron will be okay."

As Tara soothed Bonnie, Ron opened his eyes and grabbed Bonnie's hands that were holding her shirt to the wound. Seeing this, Bonnie seemed to start panicking but she was a step late in stopping Ron, who pulled his hand free. It was bloody but not bleeding anymore. He went to where the garden hose was and washed his hand before walking up to Bonnie so she could inspect the hand. Bonnie did just that, she inspected Ron's hand then the knife to make sure that what she just saw was real. Then before being surprised her anger seemed to overcome her as she slapped Ron across the face.

"Never again hurt yourself to prove something to me." Bonnie yelled.

Ron could have avoided the slap, Monique knew this for certain but he did the same thing he did when Tara and Monique first saw this, he took it. Monique was glad that Bonnie voiced similar words to herself and Tara, that being the best confirmation Monique needed to her feelings for Ron.

"Okay." Ron said, adding. "Now do you believe that we were all in my dream yesterday? I can even tell you what happened."

Blushing profusely, Bonnie looked at Tara for confirmation before accepting it as Tara nods. She had sex with Ron. So did Tara, Monique, Yori and Kim's mom. All in Ron's dream and with his lead. When Bonnie smiled even though she was blushing profusely, Monique had a smile of her own. 'Yup, that was Ron.' Monique thought.

After that, with Bonnie in the lead, Tara, Monique and Bonnie grabbed a shower to get ready for the lake.

~~~~~

Shego was making good time on her drive to Middleton. Not surprising since she took to driving at a hundred miles per hour whenever there wasn't a car in front of her.

When she got close to Middleton her GPS tracker on Ron's cellphone changed locations to the lake, explaining why Yori suggested she bring a swimsuit.

Getting to the lake was no problem. What really surprised Shego was how empty the place was. 'I might actually get to swim.' Shego thought briefly smiling. Parking with lots of open space around her car in case she needed a hasty escape, Shego would finally be able to check on Yori.

Under her disguise as Sarah, Shego approached Ron's signal and saw Yori. Shego would love to say her composure held and she approached slowly but in reality she felt like if she didn't catch up to Yori she wouldn't see her again and that frightened her. So Shego ran the few meters separating them and nearly tackled Yori into a hug.

The ninja's training kicking when she felt the approach and moving out of the way. When she sees who approached her so quickly Yori was surprised.

"Shego-san you arrived earlier than I expected." Yori admits.

"Hey Yori, sorry about the surprised but couldn't hold myself back." Shego says before commanding. "Come here and give me a hug."

Shego finally notice that all Yori was wearing was the red and black bikini she had on during the shared dream with Ron and can't help but admit it suits her. Yori for her part smiles at Shego and goes to her open arms. As she is hugging her, Shego tightened her hug a bit saying. "I don't know what it is but whatever danger you face tell me and I'll stand by you."

Yori was quiet for a bit before saying thank you. As they continued to share the moment Ron had silently approached and spoke up. "I knew you'd be great friends."

"Hey Ron." Shego says but still held onto Yori.

"Hey Shego, do I get some love too?" Ron asked.

Shego was glad she was in her disguise as it hid the slight blush she felt on her face. Ron's words were turning her on as was his confidence.

"Come here." Shego said stretching an arm to Ron who hugged her and Yori. Holding onto them both Shego sighed and thought. 'This feels right.'

"Shego-san, Ron-san let's hurry and join the others." Yori finally spoke up after a while of enjoying each other's embrace.

"Others?" Shego asks.

"Oh yeah, we are not alone this time. Come Shego, I'll introduce you." Ron said grabbing Shego's left hand while Yori her right as they pulled her towards the others who were looking at them.

'I guess no swimming.' Shego thought to herself as she is led to Monique, Tara and Bonnie. Recognizing Monique Shego greets her with a quick hug and kiss.

"Sarah this is Bonnie and Tara." Ron introduced.

"I'm Tara and this is Bonnie." Tara takes the lead to clarify which is which and stretches out her hand.

"Sarah, it's a pleasure to meet you." Shego responds and shakes her hand then Bonnie's.

Shego couldn't help but notice that Ron was surrounded by beautiful women and took a moment looking at each in turn. Monique was sporting an orange bikini that suited her perfectly. Tara was wearing a blue white bikini that accentuates her figure combining into a sexy yet approachable look. When Shego looked at Bonnie and her choice of swimwear Shego had to admit she couldn't make a better choice. The purple bikini and skirt wrap, Bonnie's tanned skin and nice figure combined into an enticing allure that was meant to be just out of reach for all except one. They looked amazing and Shego briefly pictured holding each just as tightly as their bikinis.

Then there was Yori. The girl managed to find the red black bikini that she wore during the shared dream with Ron and Shego, making her look absolutely amazing. Yori was already a top beauty but the way she looked in the bikini had one word popping into Shego's head, sensual. When her line of thinking reached that point, Shego realized the difference, Ron and Yori had become intimate and it was affecting Yori's bearing. The effect was amazing as Yori was making even Shego heat up with desire.

After talking for a few minutes the group decided to go for a swim except Shego since her disguise would wash away. Ron was reluctant to leave Shego aside so he accompanied her to where they left their stuff. Taking a minute, Ron set his towel down so Shego could pretend to be sunbathing and got her a drink. By the time Ron had come back with the drink Shego was laying down comfortably on his towel in a black green bikini, that had she not been concealing her natural skin tone would have been a dead giveaway to her identity but what could she say, the color of the swimsuits she had on hand were not meant for when she was in disguise since she couldn't swim in those times.

Shego was about to thank Ron for the drink when she noticed he was in a trance while looking at her. It wasn't the typical 'I want to get you in bed' look Shego got. It was more like 'I can't believe your so beautiful' and it brought a smile of satisfaction to Shego's features. Seeing Ron still lost in the moment Shego decided to give him a treat. Reaching up to her bikini top Shego undid the string and let her breast come into view, making sure Ron got a good look before flipping over and laying on her stomach.

It took a couple more minutes but Ron did eventually snap out of his trance and place the drink within Shego's reach before making his way over to the lake and the rest of the girls.

Shego didn't care if anyone else saw her as she was giving Ron his treat and it so happens that Tara, Bonnie, Monique and Yori saw every moment as well as some guys that would try their luck only to be ignored.

~~~~~

Yori wasn't upset with Shego's actions just surprised by her boldness, afterall Yori had long noticed Shego's interest in Ron. When she looked at the others their expression ranged from jealousy to competitive making Yori suspect what they'd do next.

Yori greeted Ron with a smile just like the others as their water time fun began.

They swam their way to the middle of the lake where a wooden island for diving and taking a break was located. On the way Yori couldn't help compare Ron's swimming to the style that he displayed during his training at Yamanouchi. Back then it was breaststroke during underwater lessons that even with gear hindered his mobility. Now the freestyle he used was drilled by Yamanouchi for efficiency and honed to a habit by Ron.

Yori kept pace with the group incase something unexpected happened. As they swam no one was really in a rush so they simply enjoyed the water on their way. Bonnie was the first to reach the island and used the ladder to climb onto it. Tara and Monique made it at nearly the same time and while Monique moved to climb the ladder, Tara chose to pull herself onto it. Ron and Yori had a similar thought to Tara and were pulling themselves onto it when Bonnie screamed. "Tara!"

Looking over, Yori saw Tara's top in her hand and thought it was Tara's idea to appeal to Ron but quickly noticed Tara's other hand holding onto her chest with blood slipping between her fingers.

Tara had a few tears in her eyes as she said. "I'm okay, must have been a nail or something."

Yori was about to take a look but Ron beat her to it. His hand glowing blue he spoke to Tara. "Move your hand, I'll heal it for you though I'm going to have to touch you."

Yori would love to say Tara hesitated out of embarrassment but the girl had immediately moved her hands revealing a finger long cut from her left breast to her right. Ron didn't stare and pressed his right hand to the wound. Yori noticed the faint blush on everyone's face at what was happening, after all it reminded everyone about last night's dream though to Yori it was the vivid morning.

As Ron healed Tara, Yori went and checked where Tara climbed up and confirmed the barely noticeable nail that injured Tara. Reaching down Yori used some Ki to bend the nail enough so that it wouldn't happen again. Just as she was done and turned back to the group Ron moved his hand away from Tara.

"That should be as good as new." Ron announced.

There was still some blood on Tara so she made her way to the edge and used some water to wash it away. Once the area was clean Tara inspected to make sure there was no scar before sighing in relief. "Not even a scar." Tara announced. "But..."

"No scar is great." Bonnie declared while Monique asked the question everyone wanted to ask. "So what's wrong?"

Yori was looking at Tara fiddling with her bikini top, understanding just as Tara explained. "My bikini top's design doesn't allow me to simply move the strings and tie it back together. I'm afraid I'm topless."

Even to Yori it was obvious that Tara was glad by this result. It was the perfect excuse to be topless around the man she liked, why wouldn't she be happy.

"No way, let me take a look." Said Bonnie not willing to accept it. As she inspected it and then passed it to Monique, Yori looked at Ron noticing his dazed expression and his shirt.

"Ron-san, excuse me a moment." After saying this Yori reached for Ron's waist and took ahold of his shirt before bringing it over his head. It was only then that Ron realized he had a solution to Tara's problem. "Here Tara-san, luckily Ron-san wore a shirt."

Monique and Bonnie smiled in relief while Tara quickly turned around in shock. Yori expected it and had blocked Ron's line of sight with the gray t-shirt, holding it in front of Tara's breast.

"Uh, thanks Yori." Tara squeezed the words out as she grabbed the shirt and pulled it over her head.

"No problem." Yori agreed.

~~~~~

Monique was relieved that Tara wasn't going to be topless the whole time. It wasn't that she wanted to get in Tara's way but that she wanted Ron's attention on herself.

Speaking of Ron, Monique was glad he had to ditch the shirt. He looked amazing and if she was asked to describe him, Monique would compare him to a sculpture. One pose and he'd be admired for millennia to come. His sculpted chest, his six pack and the muscles on his arms would make any woman want to be held in his arms. His back muscles were defined as well but the overall look wasn't a bodybuilders bulky muscles, just a well defined toned body.

That aside they were currently playing tag in the water. Ron was designated it and for him to win he had to drag the other's to the middle and have them climb onto the island. He would lose if ten minutes pass by and there's someone still in the water. Monique who suggested the game with a feel similar to cops and robbers and wanted an excuse to have Ron's arms around herself was currently trying to swim just far enough for a long ride but close enough to be caught first. Stopping to confirm that the others were further away, Monique started to slowly backstroke as she observed the situation.

As Monique hoped, once Ron finished his count to a hundred he took a look around and then dove in her direction. Monique swam in Yori's direction to make it look like she was trying to shake Ron off. When Ron eventually caught up Monique prepared to make her 'struggle' look real.

"Hey handsome, fancy meeting you here." Monique greeted.

"Hey Monique, sorry about this." Ron said hoping she wouldn't feel bad being caught first.

"You haven't caught me yet." Monique declared and went underwater to begin her 'resistance'.

Ron was right behind her as Monique quickly turned around. As Ron reached out to grab her hand Monique made sure that he 'accidentally' grabbed her breast. Ron let go in surprise as Monique smiled mischievously, there were definitely going to be more accidents...both ways of course.

Ron did a timeout gesture and then swam up. Monique took some distance and went back to the surface. As soon as her head went out of the water she heard Ron speaking. "My bad Monique, I really didn't mean to feel you up."

Monique held back the urge to smile and said. "It's okay Ron, I know you didn't mean to. Let's get back into the game unless you're intending to lose?"

"Okay you got it Mon." Ron said and started swimming towards her.

Monique started to dive, making sure her ass was towards Ron's face as she went deeper. She didn't dive far eager to continue her 'resistance'. Monique quickly noticed that Ron was being mindful of avoiding further accidents almost causing her to pout if not for the fact she was enjoying the feel of his body in her hands. As she was running out of air Monique got bolder and stopped pretending altogether. As Ron held onto her and was swimming upwards, Monique used her hand to trace from his chest to his manhood, grabbing ahold of it as their heads breached the surface.

"I see your enjoying yourself there Mon." Ron said with a hint of arousal that Monique could feel in her hand.

"Thought I'd stake my claim." Monique explained not letting go of Ron.

"Claim, huh." Ron repeated as he held onto Monique with one arm and swam backstroke back to the middle of the lake.

"Yeah, I'm going to talk to Kim and give her a heads up. Then if you're okay with it we can try going out?" Monique's voice by the end of it had faded it a bit but she managed to ask him out.

Ron put more strength to the arm around Monique's waist before answering. "I'll be honest Monique that sounds really great but I'm in a similar situation with others as well so I want you to be aware of that. Though it seriously makes me wonder when I became so popular I am willing to give it a try."

"That's great Ron. I'm confident I won't loose as long as you haven't started dating anyone yet." Monique said as they reached the island.

On the island Monique decided that she'd talk to Kim later on that day to prevent a delay interfering with things. Then she observed Ron who was pursuing Bonnie. From what Monique could tell Bonnie was simply swimming away from Ron and wasting her opportunity. This game was all about how you enjoyed your time of 'resistance'. After Ron reached Bonnie he simply held her hand till they reached the island.

As Bonnie climbed the ladder she took a look a Monique and asked. "Why are you smiling? You were caught first."

Monique hadn't realized she was smiling but she had two great reasons to. One, she was playing the game differently. And two, she took a major step forward in her relationship with Ron.

Deciding to share how she was playing the game, Monique explained how she made sure there was plenty on contact between her and Ron, all the way till she had to climb the ladder. Seeing the dumbfounded look on Bonnie's face and still smiling, Monique looked to see who Ron went after next.

Ron had decided to go after Yori next. After a minute of watching it became obvious that Yori wouldn't be caught unless she wanted to be. Ron seemed to have realized the same thing and turned to go after Tara. To Monique's surprise, Yori seemed to be following Ron.

~~~~~

Tara was ecstatic and surprised as both Ron and Yori were heading her way. She had been waiting eagerly for Ron to make his way toward her since she had a few ideas on how to enjoy herself. The addition of Yori is going to make it a little embarrassing but Tara was determined to play.

Tara let Ron get close so he would get a good look at what she did next. When he was close enough Tara began to dive. She stilled her legs that were keeping her afloat, spread her arms to the side and brought the upwards to sink into the water, 'accidentally' letting the shirt go over her breast and flashing Ron.

Seeing Ron's eyes widened Tara knew he could see her just fine. After a moment she moved sideways and let the shirt cover her again while Ron resumed the chase. When Ron grabbed her leg, Tara smiled and let herself be pulled toward him and turned to face him. After Ron let go of her leg and moved to grab her hand, Tara grabbed the hand and pulled him to her, crossing her legs around his waist. She brought the two as close as she could and held his hand between her breast.

Ron did the only thing he could and used his legs and free hand to bring them to the surface.

Above Ron was the first to speak. "I think it's safe to say I got you."

"That's true." Tara agreed and prompted. "But you can't win this way."

"Truthfully I'd say even if I don't get you back in time I've already won." Ron admitted and Tara felt the reason pressing into her, tightening her legs in response.

"I was thinking the same thing." Tara admits and uses her left hand to trace his back. As she was doing this Tara had forgotten that they were not alone and indulged in the feel of Ron's body.

Ron, for his part, slowly brought them to the island. After arriving at the ladder, Tara was still reluctant to part so after thinking a moment she boldly kissed Ron before letting go and climbing the ladder. She then noticed the stunned silence around her smiled in response. That's right she made her intentions known.

~~~~~

Ron noticed how Monique and Tara were playing the game and guessed only Yori and Bonnie were going to play normally. Before the next round they all took a break and as Ron sunbathed he noticed the girls group together. Ron wanted to ask what they were up to but decided that it was girl talk and stayed out of it.

Thinking a moment Ron remembered the call he received while they were on their way to the lake. It was from the construction company alerting him that they should be done that afternoon and asking him to inspect their work. The call had made Ron excited, the workshop being ready meant his project could progress in a suitable environment. Add to that Ron being ready to test the man machine interface and the timing couldn't have been better.

Just as Ron was immersing in ideas for the project the girls called out to him.

"Ready for the next round, Ron?"

"Yeah." Ron said standing.

By the time another few rounds ended Ron realized that he'd been wrong. Yori and Bonnie were quick learners and after realizing how Tara and Monique were playing adapted their style accordingly. To Ron this turned into the most bittersweet game there could be. The pleasure of being in so intimate contact but the torture of not going further was driving him insane. Just as it was his time to be it again Ron notices a couple people making their way to the island.

"Guys I think that my be our cue to join She-, Sarah back on land." Ron said pointing to the new arrivals.
