That was fine with me, I thought as I headed back to the room. A little space away from Sarah was just what the doctor ordered. Well, he also called for a quick wank in the shower, but that went without saying.
By the time I met up with the guys, I was feeling much more relaxed, both physically and mentally. As I joked around with the guys and enjoyed the slopes, everything seemed to settle in place. I was actually able to get my mind off Sarah a bit, now that we weren’t trapped in a single room together and now that my dick wasn’t in control.
Yet when Sarah appeared with Kelly later that day, bundled up to the nines, my heart skipped a beat. For a moment, all I could see was her face as she laid beneath me, begging me to fuck her. I pushed the thought out of my head as I greeted her and introduced her to the guys, making sure she knew everyone.
The rest of the day was spent teaching both her and Kelly how to ski. Neither of them had ever even seen a ski in person before, so it was definitely quite the experience. And, I had to admit, it was quite amusing watching the two of them fall face-first and ass-first into the snow over and over.
By the time the sun began to set, they had managed to get the hang of the basics at least. With a little bit more practice, they’d be skiing like pros in no time, I told them.
Despite Sarah’s reservations about the trip, she seemed to be fitting right in with everyone. She was smiling a good bit, laughing and making jokes with them as we headed back toward the resort. I was glad to see her happy and enjoying herself.
After taking turns showering back in the room, we met the guys back down in the restaurant for dinner and some drinks. And after the last couple days, I really needed a drink!

Sarah
Two drinks into the night and I was practically floating on air. I normally wasn’t a big drinker, but after everything that had happened with Nathan, I needed something to help me get my mind off everything. And drinks were the perfect thing it seemed like.
And to be honest, I was actually having a great time. I was so glad to see Kelly when I’d walked into the restaurant this morning. At least I wouldn’t just be stuck with Nathan and his friends the entire time, not that they were really that bad. They’d all been extremely friendly out on the slopes, helping Kelly and I to figure things out.
Even Billy was being a perfect gentleman so far, which actually kind of shocked me. I’d expected him to be all over me again, but he’d done nothing but offer me polite smiles as we were out on the slopes.
When I walked over to the bar to get another martini, he followed me. I took a deep breath, expecting him to have returned to the sleezeball he’d been at Nathan’s party. But he smiled at me, then ordered his drink.
As we waited for our drinks, he turned to me again, taking a deep breath as he did so. “Look, Sarah, I wanted to apologize for the way I acted last time I saw you.” He pursed his lips tight and glanced down at the floor. “I was drunk and a bit of an ass. I’m sorry I was so pushy. I’m not normally like that, I promise.”
For a moment, I just stared at him, not sure what to say. He’d been creepy as hell at the party, but maybe it was like he’d said, he’s just had too much to drink that night. Most of the guys there had been pretty wasted, including Nathan. And he had been perfectly polite all day.
I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. “It’s all right. Apology accepted.”
“Thanks.” He smiled at me again before the bartender handed him his drink. “I’ll see you around,” he said before turning and heading back over to the group.
As I watched him go, I had to admit, he was pretty handsome. I remembered Nathan saying something in passing about Billy having enlisted in the army, and it definitely showed. He didn’t have that slim, sexy model build like Nathan, but he was sure built. Right that second, I wouldn’t have minded a little peak at what he was hiding under there.
Thankfully, the bartender returned with my martini right then and I didn’t have to think about it any longer.
Besides, even if Billy was built and wasn’t as big of an ass as I’d expected, he still wasn’t my type. I liked my guys with a bit more brain in their head. Guys who didn’t pass their classes with a C average.
Guys like Nathan a bitter part of my mind added.
I shook my head and tried to push that thought away. Nathan was off limits, I told myself. Besides, even if I wanted him again, there was no way he was going to go for it. He’d made that perfectly clear when we’d gotten here this morning. Everything we’d done together was a mistake.
By the time we headed back up to our room, I was more than a little tipsy. More than once Nathan had to catch me to keep me from falling flat on my face. Like I said, I wasn’t exactly a party girl, and I had virtually no alcohol tolerance what so ever.
When we were in the room, I stood staring at the bed, frowning. Even in my drunken state, sharing a bed with Nathan didn’t seem like the greatest idea in the world.
“You okay?” Nathan asked as he closed the curtains.
“Only one bed again,” I said, still staring at the offending piece of furniture.
“So?” I looked over at Nathan to see him shrug. “Weren’t you the one who said we were adults and that we could share a bed?”
I frowned again. Leave it to Nathan to use my own words against me like that! But what other choice did I have? The floor didn’t exactly look all that comfortable. Nor was I going to sleep in the desk chair. In this state, I was liable to fall out of it and break my neck.
“Yeah, I guess,” I said at last.
“Would it make you feel better if I slept in my clothes? I don’t have any pajamas to wear.”
I shook my head, realizing my mistake right away, grasping the bed to make the room stop spinning. “No, it’s fine. We’re both adults, right? It’s not like we’re animals who can’t control ourselves.”
I tried to smile as I started undressing, but I had to put all of my energy into not falling over. By the time the two of us crawled into bed together, Nathan wore just his boxers while I was wearing only a t-shirt and my panties.
We both probably should’ve worn a bit more, but at that point, I just wanted to go to sleep.
“Don’t turn on the vibrating,” Nathan said through a yawn. “I feel like I might puke if you do.”
I snorted. “You and me both!”
Before I knew it, the sun was shining through a gap in the curtain. Like the first night, as my senses finally came back to me, I realized I was snuggled against Nathan’s chest again. Immediately, I rolled over, moving his arm from around my shoulders.
The last thing I needed was for him to wake up and find me on top of him and think I was coming onto him or something. It was awkward enough seeing that familiar tent beneath the blankets once again. But rather than lift them up and take a peak this time, I swung my legs over the edge of the bed, then headed to the bathroom.
I was actually quite proud of my self-control as I took care of my morning routine. It’d taken a lot of effort not to just reach beneath the sheets and take hold of Nathan’s cock again. Even now, I could clearly remember how it felt to hold him, his shaft thick enough that I couldn’t even completely close my hand around it.
I knew he wouldn’t have been able to resist me if he’d woken up to me stroking him, but I wasn’t going to take that risk. Just because he wouldn’t push me away right away didn’t mean he’d go along with it once he’d blown his load.
After that, he’d have probably chewed me out from now until we’d gotten home. Step-siblings weren’t supposed to do that kind of stuff together, after all.
By the time I came out of the bathroom, Nathan was awake, sitting up in bed and rubbing sleep from his eyes. The blanket now just covered his waist, leaving his muscular chest visible, once again making my heart pound as I looked at him.
“Morning,” he said through a yawn.
I forced myself to smile at him. It was a good thing he was still half asleep, since he wouldn�
�t notice how fake it was. “Morning. Sleep well?”
He nodded, yawning again. “Not bad, though I could still use a few more hours.” He glanced over at the alarm clock and frowned. “I guess I better get up so we can go get some breakfast before we head out onto the slopes, huh?”
“Probably a good idea. I don’t need you passing out from hunger while we’re out there. I’m not carrying your ass back here.”
Nathan snorted and shook his head before pushing the blankets back and getting out of bed. Once again, my breath caught in my throat as I stared at his very prominent erection. Even though I’d seen it, felt it, hell, almost been fucked by it, it was no less exciting to see.
Luckily, Nathan didn’t seem to notice his effect on me, since he just shuffled to the bathroom, yawning the entire time. By the time he reappeared, I was almost completely dressed, just pulling my sweater over my head. His erection had vanished as well, though I could still see his sizable member swinging beneath his loose boxer shorts.
God, would I ever be able to look at him without feeling like a love struck teenager? I had my doubts.
But, soon enough, he was dressed and we were on our way down to breakfast. About half of the guys were already there, including Kelly, but at least we weren’t the last ones to show up. Billy arrived just after us, and sat down across from me, smiling as he did so.
I smiled back but was much more interested in the menu than him. Even after everything I’d eaten yesterday, I still felt like I need to eat more to make up for the two days in the cabin. And, compared to that canned chili, everything looked fucking delicious.
By the time we headed out to the slopes, they almost had to roll me out there. I just hoped I wouldn’t puke going down one of the trails!

Nathan
Just like I’d expected, Sarah and Kelly were soon skiing down the easier slopes without problem! They only fell as few times during the day, and most of those were right at the start of the morning. All in all, they were pretty fast learners.
By the time we headed back to the resort to clean up before dinner, we were all pretty exhausted from a long day on the slopes. We’d even gotten Sarah and Kelly to go down one of the intermediate slopes with us, even though they were nervous about it.
It was turning out to be a great vacation, all in all. Sarah really seemed to be enjoying herself, even if she was mostly surrounded by my friends. And for a girl who didn’t care for the cold very much, she had a pretty big grin on her face by the time we headed back to the cabin!
Being with the guys again had definitely helped me as well, though I still found my eyes drifting back to Sarah. When we were on the slopes, I couldn’t take her eyes off her. I tried to brush it off as just brotherly protectiveness, not wanting her to get hurt while she skied, but deep down, I knew it was more than that.
Something about her just kept drawing me in.
When we went back to the room and she came out of the bathroom after her shower, completely naked, I thought my heart might force its way right out of my chest. Nothing about her was sexual in the least, and as soon as she was out, she started dressing, but all I could do was think about that morning in the cabin, my cock right at her entrance.
I hurried into the bathroom for my own shower, needing to get away from here, even if it was only with a thin wall separating us. As I stood under the shower’s hot spray, I wished we’d been able to get our own rooms like I’d planned. I needed some space away from her. The temptation of pushing her down onto the bed and having my way with her was getting to be too much.
When I walked out of the bathroom, I made sure I was smiling and that my cock had gone soft again. Sarah didn’t need to know about the turmoil going on inside me. I doubted she’d understand, and it’d probably just make the rest of her trip uncomfortable.
Yet, as we walked down to the restaurant to meet up with everyone, I couldn’t get my mind off her. No girl had ever done this to me before. I’d been with plenty of them over the years, but most had just been one night stands. I’d never been so fixated on one person before.
Why did it have to be Sarah of all people? The one person I wasn’t supposed to have these feelings for. Why couldn’t it be Kelly or some waitress at the bar or some snow bunny looking for a fun time? Why her?
There was just something about her. She was sweet, kind, innocent. The kind of girl you could see yourself with for a lifetime. The kind of girl who would be happy just lying in your arms. The kind of girls you fell in love with.
I sucked in a breath.
No, I wasn’t in love with her, I told myself.
Sarah was my step-sister. It was as simple as that. I couldn’t be in love with her.
I tried to focus on the conversations going on over dinner, but my heart just wasn’t in it. My entire body seemed to be rebelling against me. I was barely able to even touch my food, yet I downed three beers by the time we headed from the restaurant to the resort’s bar.
I should’ve been stumbling as we walked, yet it felt like I was floating on a cloud. When Sarah looked over at me and raised an eyebrow, I just grinned at her. She smiled back, a little uncertainly, then turned back to whatever the guys were talking about right then.
When I had my first shot of fireball, the warmth quickly worked its way through my body. I did my best to push Sarah from my mind, focusing instead on the guys as they talked about their favorite trails to ski or snowboard.
“The ones here are totally better than at Ridgeland.” I rolled my eyes at Billy.
Billy shook his head and frowned. “Fuck no! Ridgeland had way better slopes. Not all the baby shit like here. Those were real slopes!”
The other guys chimed in at once, each offering their own opinion. I listened for a minute or two, then stood and headed over to the bar to get enough drink. The alcohol was helping loosen my up a bit, and I wasn’t planning on stopping until I was ready to head back to the room and pass out.
As I waited for my drink, Billy saddled up next to me. “Hope you’re not mad about what I said about the slopes here.”
“Nah,” I said with a shrug. “I’m used to you being a dickhead by now.”
He snorted and grinned before turning back to look at the group sitting only a few feet. After a moment, he turned back to me. “Is she single?” he asked, nodding toward the table.
When I followed his eyes, I saw them locked on Sarah. Immediately, my heartrate spiked, and I frowned. “Dude, that’s my sister.”
“Step-sister.” He shrugged. “Come on, dude. She was flirting with me at your party, but she shot me down. Now she seems pretty interested though. Just want to make sure some angry boyfriend isn’t going to be upset if I make a move.”
My frown deepened at the thought of Billy making a move on Sarah. Yeah, she was an adult and capable of choosing who she dates or hooked up with, but I really didn’t like the idea of her getting with him. He was my friend, but he also was a dickhead.
“Yeah, good luck with that. She’s pretty picky about who she goes out with.”
It was partly true. She’d only dated a couple guys since we were in high school, and none of them had lasted very long at all. I highly doubted Billy actually had a shot, even if I still wasn’t thrilled with the idea of him trying.
“Yeah, well, that’s what Jaeger’s for, isn’t it?” He grinned at me, then turned back to the group and raised his voice. “Who’s up for a round of Jaeger Bombs?”
Everyone cheered, including Sarah, which just made me frown even more. The high I’d built up had vanished now, leaving me feeling lower than I had before. Even when I had my drink in hand and headed back to the table, I still didn’t feel any better.
When Billy came back with a load of drinks and sat next to Sarah, I became downed the rest of my drink before accepting the one from him. Maybe a bit more alcohol would help bring back that high I’d had before.
It definitely made me feel something, but it wasn’t what I’d hoped for. Instead of tha
t clouded, giddy feeling, I was more alert, more aware. Now all I could do was focus on Sarah, and to an extent, Billy, who seemed to have blocked out everyone else at the table and was talking solely to her.
A jolt went through me as Sarah giggled at something he said, batting her eyelashes at him. As they spoke, her attention seemed to be focused intently on him, and I began to worry she might actually be interested in Billy.
When he reached over and placed his hand on her thigh, I stood up abruptly. Everyone stated at me, eyebrows raised, but I ignored them.
“Hey Sarah, can you come help me with something?”
She looked at me curiously, but nodded. She smiled apologetically at Billy, then slid her chair back and stood up. The moment she walked over to me, I grabbed her wrist and lead her out of the bar, not looking back at the group.

Sarah
I frowned as Nathan practically dragged me from the bar. As we wound through the halls, heading back to our room, his grip on my wrist tightened. Soon, there was a dull ache, and it seemed like he was trying to pull my arm out of its socket.
What the hell was wrong with him?
He walked with a slight stumble but with a purpose. I could only imagine what was going through his drunk head right then, and I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to find out. Part of me just wanted to slap him upside his head for being a dumbass
I’d been having a good time at the bar. The guys had opened up to me, welcoming me and Kelly into their group liked we’d always belong there. So why had Nathan decided to pull me away all of a sudden? What was so urgent that we had to go back to the room right away?
By the time we got back to the room, my blood at begun to boil at the way Nathan was yanking me like I was a toddler on a leash who’d disobeyed a command. When we walked inside, we barely made it a few feet before Nathan released my wrist and turned on me, his eyes narrowed into slits.
