LUST (A STEPBROTHER ROMANCE)

“Up to Mount Kishie Ski Resort,” I supplied, hoping to God he was going that way and wasn’t coming down the mountain.

“Well, you’re in luck. My wife and I are heading up there as well.” He smiled proudly. “It’s our sixty-third anniversary. It’ll be a tight fit in the truck, but I’d be glad to take you guys up with us. Can’t just leave you out here, now can I?” He looked at our two back packs. “Is that all you packed?”

Nathan shook his head. “No, we’ve got our suitcases in the back of my Jeep. It’s about a mile or two up the road.”

“Well, we can stop and get them on the way. Someone at the resort should have a phone so you can call for a tow truck.” He pulled out his own cellphone, which looked like it was almost as old as I was. “Even this thing isn’t getting’ any signal up here.”

Nathan and I both thanked the man profusely as we gathered our few things. Once we were sure the fire was out, not wanting to burn down the cabin that had probably saved our lives, we were all squeezed into Jeb’s pickup truck along with Joyce, his adorable wife.

True to his word, Jeb stopped alongside our Jeep so Nathan could load our suitcases into the back of Jeb’s truck, which thankfully had a covered bed to protect everything from the snow. Then we were off up the mountain once again, finally on our way to our destination.

The drive was far from comfortable, but it was a hell of a lot better than being trapped in that cabin for another day. Although, as I looked over at Nathan out of the corner of my eye, part of me wished we’d been stranded there just a bit longer.

At least then I’d know what it was like to have a man inside me, and not just his fingers.

The entire drive up to the lodge, all I could think about was Nathan. I’d come so close to losing my virginity back there. I couldn’t ever remember being that horny in my life. Hell, I still couldn’t believe I’d slipped off my panties and started masturbating as Nathan slept right next to me.

What had I been thinking?

And yet, I couldn’t bring myself to regret any of it. I had to admit, as far as men went, Nathan wasn’t a bad one at all. He certainly wouldn’t have been a bad person to lose my virginity too. Even as he’d fingered me and kissed me, he’d been so gentle and caring.

He’d been so hesitant to fuck me too, even though I knew he wanted it even more than I had. The look of concern on his face as he’d asked me if I was sure made my heart swell. It was at that moment I’d known I was sure. I never would’ve regretted letting Nathan fuck me.

Though now that I thought back on it, maybe it was a good idea we’d been interrupted. I wasn’t on the pill, and I knew just how risky having sex without a condom would’ve been. I trusted that Nathan was clean, that wasn’t even remotely a concern. But I was barely twenty-one, only in my third year of college. What would I have done if Nathan had gotten me pregnant?

At least I didn’t have to worry about that, I thought to myself. Now I just had to worry about getting to the resort soon so I could take care of the fire that still burned inside me as my body begged for some relief.

Glancing over at Nathan again, I wondered if we’d continued what we’d started, once we got there. One thing was for sure, he could push me up against the wall in my room and fuck me right then and there, and I wasn’t going to say no.

Nathan

When we finally arrived at the resort, all I could do was grin. Finally! Now we could get on with our vacation and put all the mishaps behind us. Jeb interrupting this morning was going to be the last thing that went wrong, I told myself.

Though I wasn’t exactly sure him interrupting had been a bad thing. Sarah was my step-sister, and as much as I wanted to fuck her brains out, it wasn’t right. She told me more than once she wanted it, but I knew once we got out of the cabin, she’d regret it. She’d regret letting her brother take her virginity.

Which was why, after thanking Jeb and Joyce profusely, I pulled Sarah aside before we went to check into our rooms. “Look, Sarah… About what had happened in the cabin….” I took a deep breath, then sighed. “I’m sorry, okay? None of that should’ve happened. We both just got a little stir crazy and horny, that’s all. No big deal. Let’s just put it behind us and forget about it, okay?”

Sarah was quiet for a moment and I wasn’t able to read her expression. Then she put on a smile and nodded. “Yeah, sure, okay. No problem! It’s all forgotten.” Still smiling, she turned and walked away toward the lodge.

Frowning, I watched her go. I wanted to chase after her, to pull her into my arms and take back everything I’d just said. But I couldn’t. Sarah was my sister, and I needed to focus on that and that alone.

Hopefully, once we were in our own rooms for the night and around our friends, then I’d be able to get my mind off her. Then, things could go back to normal and we really could forget about everything that had happened back in that cabin.

The moment I stepped into the resort, I knew something wasn’t quite right. It seemed darker than it normally would, like all of the lights weren’t on. Shrugging, I headed up to the front desk where I young woman greeted me with a smile.

“Hi, I had a reservation for two rooms for Monday. Our car broke down and we weren’t able to get ahold of anyone. I couldn’t get service on my phone for some reason.” I handed her my ID and credit card, letting her look up the reservation.

“I’m so sorry to hear that! The storm knocked out the power on the mountain early Monday morning, which is probably why you couldn’t get a signal. Not to worry though, since we have generators here to keep everything going!”

Well, that explained a lot. But hey, if they had generators, at least the trip wouldn’t be ruined.

“Are the ski lifts still running?”

She nodded. “Oh yes! The last time this happened, the power was out for almost three weeks, so we made sure to be prepared this time! Everything is more or less fully operational, so you shouldn’t have any problems.” Then she frowned. “Oh no. It looks like since you didn’t show up, your rooms were marked available again and were sold to someone else.”

Wasn’t that just my luck? Was there anything that would go right this week? Anything at all. “Do you have any other rooms available?”

“Let me check!” She clicked around on her computer for a moment. “We have one room left, it’s a bit more expensive than the ones you’d booked, but it’s all we have right now. I’m so sorry.”

I sighed, then shrugged. A single room was better than no room, I figured, even if I was hoping to have a little bit of privacy. But hey, what can you do, right?

Ten minutes later and I had the key to our room.

When I explained everything to Sarah, she frowned for a moment, the smirked. “Well, I guess we’re stuck with each other for a bit longer.”

“Looks like it.”

Keys in hand, we headed to our room. Sarah lead the way, seemingly in a hurry to get there for some reason.

She opened the door, then stopped barely two feet into the room and gasped.

It only took me a second to figure out why. No wonder the damn room was so much more expensive. It was a freaking honeymoon suite, complete with a single heart-shaped bed with a bright red blanket on top of it. The entire room was covered in hearts and flowers.

I groaned. The lady at the front desk had failed to mention this when I booked the room I thought crossly. Sarah and I walked in, setting our bags to the side as we explored the room we’d be trapped in for the next five days.

I really needed to stop asking myself what could go wrong next, I thought as I scanned the room.

“Oh my god! It vibrates.” Sarah jumped onto the bed, then pressed a little button, bringing the bed to life. She started laughing her ass off as she laid back on it, grinning up at the ceiling.

Even I had to laugh at that. The damn th

ing looked like it had come straight out of a 1970s’ love motel. What the hell was it doing in a fancy ski resort like this? But before I could even begin to think of reasons, Sarah’s squeal broke me out of my head.

She jumped off the bed and ran over to me, grabbing my hand and pulling me back to the bed. “You’ve got to try this!” she said as she pulled me down onto it.

The moment I sat down, I shivered. How the hell did anyone ever find this romantic or sexy? I thought as Sarah burst into laughter again. I laughed as well, shaking my head.

Well, I’d wanted to give Sarah a twenty-first birthday trip she’d never forget. And I had a feeling, she definitely wouldn’t be forgetting this one any time soon.

Once we finished laughing at the ridiculous bed, I went over to the desk and called for a mechanic to come pick up the Jeep and fix it for us. It took a bit of negotiation, but eventually he agreed to have it dropped off at the resort for us before it was time for us to head home.

Then, the two of us headed to the onsite restaurant to get something for breakfast. We were both starved, having eaten barely anything over the past two days. Surprisingly, some of the guys were in there having breakfast as well, and so was Kelly, Sarah’s best friend.

While those two went off on their own to sit and catch up, I pulled up a chair with some of the guys and filled them in on what had happened to us. They’d all been worried, but without my cell working, none of them could get ahold of me.

After I stuffed myself, I headed back to the room to shower, agreeing to meet the guys out on the slopes in a little while. Sarah opted to enjoy the nice warm lodge for a bit, her and Kelly saying they’d catch up with us around lunch time.
