Getting Over Charlie

Setting: Sam is seventeen and on a ski trip with Wilson, Buzz, and Dutch at the Blue Mountains.
Warning: This one is on the steamy side.

March 15 – Blue Mountain Ski Resort – Weider Express Lift

Sam watched the late afternoon scenery as he rode the lift up to the top of the North Glades runs. He was seated between Wilson and Dutch and next to Dutch was Buzz. This ski trip was turning out to be great. Buzz and Dutch were on leave and had talked Bella into allowing him to miss school to come skiing with them and their good friend Wilson, who was now Bella's security man.

He had turned seventeen last month and this sort of felt like a birthday present—not that he celebrated his birthday—but this was nice. They'd been here for four days now and they had three days left. The weather was great and the ski conditions were fantastic. Sam was having an awesome time. He was looking forward to telling Charlie and Jett all about it when he returned to Toronto.

At the thought of Charlie, Sam felt a small pang of loss. She was so special—his first girlfriend—his first kiss. But it wasn't meant to last. Her heart belonged to someone else. It was hard, really hard to let go and step aside for Jett.

Sam sighed. Jett was a true friend too. It had taken a long time, but eventually Sam had seen that Jett's heart held Charlie's. Those two were right for one another. Doing the right thing sucked big time. He missed all the time he used to spend with Charlie. Sure they still hung out, but it wasn't the same. No more stolen kisses when her family was out of the room as they studied. No more staring into her eyes for endless minutes. No more daydreaming what it would be like to do more than just kiss her. All that was off limits now that she was Jett's girlfriend.

He looked out again at the scenery and thought about missing this week of school. He got out of Mr. Wallach's endless boring monotone lectures on literature. That teacher could take the most interesting book and make it dry and boring. Poor Jett was having to sit through Mr. Wallach's dissertation on the Lord of the Flies.

Sam was certain everyone would be yawning and bored to tears even though the book itself was fantastic. He's read it years ago with his tutor Corporal Duffy and Duffy had made the book come alive. He was glad to miss that and thought again about poor Jett sitting in a stuffy classroom while he was out on the ski slopes having fun. Sam couldn't help grinning at that thought.

Retired Sergeant Wilson Keswick turned and looked at Sam. It was so good to see him smile. Sam had been in the doldrums ever since Charlie started dating Jett. That girl was a godsend and she had really helped Sam smile. But Sam had shared with him that even though he really liked Charlie, that he felt his friend Jett was what Charlie was really looking for. So Sam had stepped out of the picture.

Even though Sam was doing the right thing, according to Sam, Wilson could see that he was sad. Sam was clearly missing the time he spent with Charlie now that Charlie and Jett were together. So it was good to see him smiling again. Wilson asked, "What's got you grinning from ear-to-ear?"

Sam turned to Wilson and answered, "Just thinking how jealous Jett is going to be that I got to go skiing and he's stuck listening to Mr. Wallach drone on about the Lord of the Flies."

Master Corporal Basil 'Buzz' Barkle laughed and leaned forward to speak across Dutch. "Which run do you want to take this time?"

Sam thought a moment. He had graduated to the double diamond runs this trip with Dutch's instructions. "How about Lone Rider?"

Master Corporal Bas 'Dutch' Duchatteau nodded and then teased, "After that, how about Avalanche?"

Sam groaned. "Not on your life. One avalanche in a life time is enough. Not gonna press my luck." He recalled their skiing trip last year in Whistler where he was buried under an avalanche.

As the lift reached the top, the four got off and headed for the Lone Rider run. The adults let Sam take the lead and they headed down the run. Each of them were happy that Sam was enjoying himself as much as they were. The run to the bottom was uneventful and the group got on the lift again. They spent the rest of the afternoon skiing and having a grand time.

Blue Mountain Ski Resort – Weider Lodge Restaurant

Buzz gently squeezed Dutch's hand under the table. They were enjoying their down time. A time when they were away from the unit and able to share how they truly felt about each other. When they were with the unit, they shelved their personal feelings and behaved as only good friends. Both knew that there would never be anyone else for them—they were partners for life.

Their unit CO, Lieutenant Jackson 'Trigger' Spencer, was aware of their relationship, but kept it quiet. He was of the opinion that if the men did their job, who they loved and what they did on their own time was none of anyone else's business. Buzz thought that Trigger was a good man and appreciated his acceptance of them.

Dutch looked over at Buzz and grinned. "You up for hitting the slopes for some night skiing?"

"Sounds good," Buzz responded and then finished his last bite of steak.

Sam rolled his shoulders, they ached a bit. The double diamond runs took more effort. He took a drink of his coffee and said, "I'm wiped out."

Wilson chuckled. "Same here. How about I get us a couple of rooms here for tonight and we make use of the hot tubs. Would do my aching muscles good."

Grinning, Sam said, "That would be great."

Dutch and Buzz smiled. Time alone. That would be good. Buzz said, "Sounds like a plan. We'll just check at the desk for a room key when we're done skiing."

Sam looked at Wilson and said, "I don't have swim trunks or a change of clothes though."

"Thought of that already. Let's just make a stop in the store. I'm sure they will have everything we need," Wilson responded. Then he flagged down the waitress and ordered cherry cobbler for him and Sam as Buzz and Dutch headed back out to the slopes.

Blue Mountain Ski Resort – Store

Sam picked out a few items and then waited near the entrance as Wilson went to try on a pair of ski pants. He was enjoying watching all the beautiful ladies. Buzz called them snow-bunnies. Sam watched a couple of women as they passed the entrance of the store. He smiled at them when they turned and looked at him. He thought, maybe breaking up with Charlie wasn't so bad after all. Now he was a free man and allowed to look at other ladies.

He leaned lazily against the wall and watched three more snow-bunnies walk past—a blonde, a brunette, and a redhead. They didn't look much older than him. Sam grinned as the brunette turned and looked back at him. He saw her return his smile. Oh, yeah! Being single again was a good thing.

Blue Mountain Ski Resort – Hot Tub

Wilson stretched languidly, the warm water of the hot tub had done wonders for his muscles. He was glad he suggested the change of venue. Emmett Haley's place was great, but with no electricity and small functional shower, there was nothing to relax his muscles like a hot tub.

He grinned and thought that his change of plans for tonight was a benefit for Sam too. He quietly watched as Sam interacted with a bunch of people more his own age. It was good to see the boy have fun. Sam was with a group of four other guys and a bevy of gals laughing and swapping stories of their day on the slope.

Wilson yawned and stood up. He walked over to Sam and said, "It's getting rather late, I'm going up. Don't stay out too much later. We need to be up early if we want to do some cross-country skiing at dawn."

Sam nodded. "Okay." He was surprised Wilson was letting him hang out alone. Usually he was stuck to him like glue when they went on trips.

After Wilson left, Sam turned back to the group. He was having fun. Most of the group were in college and he didn't let on that he was younger than them. He didn't lie, but he didn't offer up his age or that he was still in high school. They just assumed that he was older given that he was here. He was glad that Wilson hadn't hovered tonight—that would've ruined it. They would've known he was younger and then he would've been excluded.

As the group continued to talk, the guys and gals started pairing up. After another thirty minutes a few had wandered off together. Nineteen-year-old Lorelei Ravenswood had her sights set on the hot blond guy and moved a little closer to Sam. She toyed with the ends of her long raven hair as she turned to him. When his blue eyes turned and met with her dark brown eyes she was hard-pressed to hold in the sigh—but she did. Instead she asked, "So Sam, what do you plan to go into when you graduate?"

Sam assumed she meant college and simply answered, "I've decided to become a cop."

"Really, why?" she asked.

"It just seems the right fit for me." Then he gave her a WOW smile and joked, "Besides, the ladies dig guys in uniform."

Lorelei and the others laughed. She said, "I'm still not sure what I want to do. I think it's great you know. I still have three years to figure it out. When do you plan on starting the Police Academy?"

Sam thought about having to wait until he was eighteen and his smile faded a bit as he answered, "Next year."

Lorelei quickly calculated his age. He looked young, but if he was graduating next year, he had to be older than he looked. Sam had to be at least twenty-one. Good, she was afraid he was underage and that just wouldn't do. She put her hand on his arm and said, "Want to join me in the hot tub? I'm getting a little chilled sitting out here."

Standing up and grinning, Sam said, "Sure." Then he and Lorelei left the group which began dispersing in various directions.

Sam took off the heavy robe that the hotel supplied in the room Wilson had rented and slipped into the hot tub. He watched as Lorelei shrugged out of her robe. Her skimpy bikini clad body was perfection. Sam blatantly stared at her breasts. His seventeen-year-old body craved to touch them. He'd be dreaming about her breasts tonight for sure.

Lorelei slipped into the hot water and sighed. She dipped all the way under and came up wiping her raven hair away from her face. She smiled at Sam and hoped that he was as attracted to her as she was attracted him. Her body hummed thinking about being with him. Perhaps he might indulge her fantasy if she played her cards right.

Whoa, Sam's body came alive as he watched the water run off of Lorelei. It was so hot, a hot-blooded teens dream come true. Sam swallowed hard. He was nervous as she came and sat next to him, but he didn't want her to know that. Her eyes were liquid pools of chocolate and she moved in close to him. Sam had to fight the nervous response to pull back.

His mind raced for something to say, but he came up blank as Lorelei moved in closer to him. He glanced around the pool and hot tub area and saw that it was empty now. It was well past eleven based on the big clock on the wall.

Sam turned back to Lorelei and was going to say it was rather late, but he was saved from making inane conversation when Lorelei's lips descended on his. Her lips were soft and Sam found himself kissing her back. His hand went to the back of her head and pulled her closer to him as he increased the pressure. Wow, he'd never kissed anyone besides Charlie and he was the one to always instigate it. This was so cool—she kissed him.

Lorelei couldn't believe her luck. The hot blond didn't pull away from her—he pulled her closer. God, he was a good kisser. She moved in closer and melded her bikini clad breasts to his incredible chest. When he had taken off his robe, she had nearly lost it. He was so muscular and had ripped abs. She wanted those arms to hold her. She couldn't resist any longer and let her hands rove over his chest as she kissed him.

Kissing her was a dream, Sam thought as he became bolder. He let his tongue slip into her mouth—something he rarely did with Charlie. Sam was emboldened again when her tongue darted against his. Then her hands were on his chest. He felt himself harden. Oh god, he hoped she couldn't tell. He was glad the water covered him.

Wanting to be closer and feel his hands on her, Lorelei reached behind her and pulled the string of her bikini top. It loosened and fell away from her breasts. She reached for Sam's hand and guided it to her bare breast.

Sam sucked in a sharp breath as his hand covered her breast. He softly kneaded it, not really sure what to do. He'd never touched a bare breast before. He'd brushed up against Charlie a few times, but he knew she would never let him touch her like this. He liked the feel of the supple skin. He ventured to rub her nipple and heard Lorelei moan. It wasn't a pained moan, it was like she enjoyed it. So he rubbed some more and she moaned into his mouth again.

Lorelei moaned as Sam played with her breast, she moaned again as his other hand covered her other breast. His hands were exquisite and knew just the right amount of pressure to apply. After a bit, she let her hand rove from his abs down to his groin. Yes! Oh God, yes. He was hard. Her fantasy might just come true.

She pulled back from kissing his mouth and trailed kisses to his ear. She whispered, "Make my fantasy come true. Let's do it here."

Sam sucked in a breath. Did he hear her right? He swallowed hard. His voice was gruff and low, "You want to do it here?"

She pulled back and looked into his eyes. "You're ready, I'm so ready, no one's here. I'm on the pill so no worries." She rubbed him through his swim trunks causing him to harden more.

His heart was racing a mile a minute. She wanted to have sex. Here. Now. He hardened more at just the thought. He smiled and awkwardly reached down to touch her bikini at the apex of her thighs. She rubbed herself against his hand. God!

In the next moment, Sam found his swim trunks lowered and Lorelei straddling him. He felt her bare skin rub against his length. He nearly lost it. Lorelei leaned down and captured his lips again. He concentrated on kissing her as his hand roamed to caress her smooth bottom.

Their kissing became hot and heavy as Lorelei rubbed her body against him. She was waiting for him to take her, but Sam was taking it slow—she was beyond frustrated. She wanted to feel him inside. Damn, he was good at getting her hot and bothered. He must have lots of experience.

Sam was reeling inside. What the hell was he supposed to do? Could he really do this here? Lorelei was driving him mad. He wanted to, really wanted to. His hands continued to caress up and down her back to her bottom and roved to her breast as he kissed her.

He glanced around and saw that the area was still empty. It would be so embarrassing if someone came upon them. God, what if Wilson came looking for him? Sam started to pull back at that thought.

Lorelei felt Sam pull back a bit and decided it was up to her. He seemed a little shy about doing it in the hot tub. She wanted her fantasy to come true. So she took matters into her own hands. She lifted herself and then guided him into her. His moan of pleasure was music to her ears. She started as a slow pace.

Sam moaned. Holy shit! He stiffened his entire body when Lorelei took him in. He'd never felt anything like it before—velvety soft, tight, and warm—heaven. Then she started to move and he thought he'd explode right then and there. His breaths became ragged as she continued to move. Then his body responded in a primal instinct and began to move in rhythm to hers.

She rode the lift to the top of the mountain and moaned deeply into Sam's mouth as she crested the peak. Her body shuddered with release as he continued to move within her.

The pulsing sensation around him drove Sam to thrust harder and faster. His whole body stiffened as he felt himself reach a point he'd only ever felt with his hand before. He thrusted once more and felt the explosion as it racked his body. It was hundreds of times better this way—holy shit. His body pulsed as he thrust several more times as his climax continued longer than ever before.

He was breathless as his body shuddered the last time. He looked into Lorelei's chocolate pools and smiled. He would never forget her lovely face or eyes. She was his first. Sam kissed her and softly confessed, "I'll never forget my first time, Lorelei. That was fantastic, better than I imagined. Thank you."

Lorelei's eyes widened in shock. She breathed out, "Your first time?"

Sam's face tinged red. "Yeah."

She blinked rapidly a few times. Then she smiled. "I would've never known if you didn't say anything. Thanks for making my fantasy come true. It's even more special now." Lorelei leaned down and kissed him tenderly.

They remained in the hot tub, kissing and touching for a long time after. No one came into the pool area and disturbed them. Lorelei let Sam explore all of her body and told him what made her feel good, where to touch and where to suckle to drive her wild. She explored him too and the second time they came together was just as good as the first.

When Sam finally got out of the hot tub he knew he had gotten over Charlie. He kissed Lorelei again and then walked her to her room. He declined her offer to stay the night because he knew Wilson would be looking for him if he didn't show up soon.

The smile that was plastered on his face as he walked to his room was huge. He liked sex. He liked it a lot.

The Sinner was born that night …
