A Tropical Vacation to Remember: Introductions Are in Order.

Fortunately for everyone, Alexios took control of the boat and steered it back to the swimmers before carrying Christina off to the private cabin. Alexios quickly tore off his clothes before gently taking off Christina’s swimsuit for an hour of passion and then cuddling.

Meanwhile Marine faced off with Emma. After being splashed as payback for throwing her in, Marine raised her hands outstretched.
”Is this not how you test your strength with someone? Well? See if you can shove me off this boat,” the Frenchwoman invited Emma for a chest-to-chest pushing test of strength.

Helen swam over to Alanna with Rekka literally in tow. She wrapped her other arm around Alanna’s stomach and dragged both people back to the boat. It was only then that Helen realized both of them were more than capable of swimming. Alanna giggled at her and Helen promptly retaliated by initiating a splash war.

Hiro took a deep breath, relaxing at her touch. He smiled back at her, his eyes filled with appreciation.

"Thanks, Fang. I guess I got a bit too caught up in the moment,"

he admitted, his tone a mix of sheepishness and affection.

"But you're right, let's get back to having fun. This trip is all about enjoying ourselves."

Instead of heading back to the boat immediately, Hiro decided to continue their fun in the water.

"Actually, why don’t we enjoy the water a bit longer?"

Hiro then swam closer to her, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"How about a little race? First one to the buoy over there wins,"

he said, nodding towards a buoy bobbing a short distance away.

Christina, feeling the heat and excitement of the moment, looked into Alexios's eyes with a playful smile.

"I've been waiting for this, my Dear sweet Alexios~,"

she whispered seductively.

"Let's make every second count."

They hugged each other tightly, prepared to enjoy an hour of romance followed by a cozy cuddle, savoring every moment of their alone time.

Emma, her competitive spirit ignited, energetically accepted the challenge.

"You're on!"

she exclaimed, stepping forward to face Marine.

With determination in her eyes, Emma pressed her hands against Marine's, their bodies close as they prepared for the test of strength. Despite the difference in size and weight, Emma was determined to give it her all!

"Rrrrraaaaggghh!!!"

******

As Alanna initiated a splash war with Helen, Rekka, who was caught in the middle, tried to shield his face.

"Oye, cuidado con mi máscara!"

he exclaimed, laughing as he attempted to avoid the water splashing around him.

The playful splash war continued, with Helen, Alanna, and Rekka laughing and enjoying the spontaneous fun. Rekka did his best to protect his mask while still joining in the splashing, adding to the joyful chaos.

Fang nuzzled her head against Hiro's affectionately when he admitted to getting caught up in the moment. Before they would swim back, Hiro pointed out the buoy not to far from them, but just away enough for a swimming contest to be had; which Hiro suggested.

"Oh?" Fang responded curiously, as she felt Hiro's arms wrap around her waist, "Any kind of wager in this race?" She was curious now if there was something the winner would get out of winning.

[ScylliasExoter]

Marine locked hands with Emma and the two women pressed their chests against each other and pushed. Struggling in a test of strength, Marine had the initial raw power advantage and pushed Emma back a bit. Emma, however was bound and determined to win. She also had a lower center of mass and better technique than Marine. Through grit and determination, Emma slowly forced Marine back until she teetered over the edge and was pushed into the water by the Canadian. Meanwhile Helen found herself play wrestling with Rekka.
”It looks like you need a swimming mask,” she giggled as she leaned against his chest and stroked his hair sticking out the back of the mask.

Hiro grinned mischievously.

"How about this: the winner gets to make the loser do anything they want for the rest of the day?"

Before she could prepare herself, Hiro took off, splashing her and swimming fast, getting an early advantage!

*****

"Yes! Go Team Canada!"

Emma cheered, her face beaming with excitement and pride. She jumped up and down, celebrating her hard-fought victory.

*****

Rekka chuckled but was very protective of his mask.

"No tocar la máscara, Helen,"

he said, a mix of playfulness and seriousness in his voice. He tried to swim away, creating some distance between them while still keeping the mood light and fun.

[ZorzLeth]

Fang nodded at the wager and got ready to swim until Hiro decided to take off early and get a head start.

"Hey! No fair!" Fang shouted with a laugh before swimming after Hiro, trying to quickly catch up to him by using breast strokes. It was a bit of a close race as they were nearing the buoy.

[ScylliasExoter]

Alanna cheered as her girlfriend won the test of strength and shoved her sister into the water. Everyone cheered the victorious Emma on! Helen, catching the seriousness of Rekka asking her to not mess with his mask, let go. She patted him on his shoulders.
"You really should invest in a waterproof mask for swimming," she said.
"What do you say we get back on the boat and head to the beach? I'd very much like to lay out in the sun."
"Sure thing."
They all climbed up and noticed that Alexios and Christina were conspicuously absent. The inside cabin had a captain's cap hanging on the door.
Giggles soon followed.

Just as Fang was gaining on him, Hiro suddenly slowed down and called out,

"Cramp! Oh no, cramp!"


This was all a ruse to get Fang to stop and before she could get any closer, Hiro suddenly grinned and sped up again, taking advantage of Fang's momentary hesitation!

He powered through the last few meters and touched the buoy just ahead of her, triumphantly raising his hand in victory.

"Yetahhh!!! I did it!!!"

*****

As the entire crew gathered back on the boat, excitement buzzed in the air, and they set sail toward the beach, the sun beaming down and laughter ringing all around. The day had been a whirlwind of joy, friendly rivalry, and countless cherished experiences. With the beach in sight, the group eagerly anticipated the continuation of their holiday, aware that even more adventures and memories were just around the corner.

[ZorzLeth]

"Did what?" Fang asked teasingly as to Hiro's surprise, she was already on the buoy. It turns out that as they were getting closer to the buoy, Fang changed from front crawl swimming to butterfly, which was more effective in short bursts of speed that she needed to narrowly get ahead of her boyfriend.

"And before you say anything," Fang pointed out, "You pulled that trick on me when we were at that lake a few months back. I won't fall for the same trick twice." She said with a smile as she embrace Hiro again and giving him a slight kiss on the cheek.

"Let's get back to the boat." Fang suggested, "Otherwise, we might be left behind."

[Weonna]

Hiro laughed, shaking his head in admiration.

"You got me good. I guess I underestimated you, but you’re right—can’t use the same trick on a smart girl twice."


They shared another laugh and then began swimming back to the boat, hand in hand, enjoying the moment. As they climbed back on board, they rejoined their friends, ready for whatever the next adventure would bring. The day had been filled with fun, laughter, and a bit of healthy competition, and as the boat headed towards the beach, the group was more connected than ever, looking forward to the rest of their unforgettable vacation.
