“Outside of Devin trying to steal my girl, I like working with Range Sports. I just know now I won’t bring anyone I’m interested in near him. I also would prefer just working with you. I no longer trust Devin, and if I have to work only with him, I’ll not work for Range Sports.”
“How’s your family going to react to Devin?” Sandy asked with some concern.
“If he tries to hit on Nancy, I’d suspect my mom will have words with him. I honestly won’t be able to stop her. She’ll protect Nancy like she’s one of her own. Devin found out what that means when I tried to kill myself on the jet water board.”
“He told me she scared the crap out of him,” Sandy shared. “I’m going to go and give him a heads-up that everyone knows what he’s been up to. It might make the rest of your trip a little strained, but he needs to learn he can’t just hit on girls, even if you aren’t officially dating,” she teased me.
“You know, that may be true, but there was a reason I invited her here,” I said, getting serious. “We wanted to spend time together to see if there really was something there. I think Nancy’s a special girl. It might be we just become very close friends. If that’s all it becomes, I’d be fine with that, because I want her to be in my life. It might also turn into something much more.
“Neither one of us is naïve enough to believe we’ll be a couple after this vacation. We live too far apart. The best-case scenario for us is a long courtship where we come together when I graduate college. Will we have other people in our lives between now and then? I would think so.
“To be honest, Devin might’ve been a good match for her,” I said, surprising Sandy. “If he’d have just taken the time to get to know her, I think things might have been different. Nancy and I understand the right person may come into our lives, and we want to experience that relationship. For example, I’m currently dating Peggy, so I called Nancy before I went out with her. Since then Peggy and I have agreed we’re just dating, and not going steady. She knows she’s leaving for college when she graduates in the spring.
“I’ll be fine working with Range Sports if Devin’s not at the locations when I’m working. I think we can still be cordial with one another. Given time, we may even become friends again. The good news is I like you a lot. You’re a good friend, and I owe you so much for all the help you’ve given me,” I said.
I’d never really talked to her about what it meant to me when she and Range Sports helped when I was caught in the avalanche last year. We hugged, which gave me a moment to collect my thoughts. It was coming up on the anniversary of the avalanche. I’d found I was getting a little emotional about what had happened.
“I’ll never forget how you took care of everything. If there’s ever anything you want or need, I’ll be there for you.”
“I appreciate it, David. I like you a lot, too,” she said with a big smile.
She went to talk to Devin, and I went back to making goodies and flirting with Nancy. Angie and Mom were teasing us, while Bonnie tried to stay neutral. We all had a good time.
DEVIN JOINED THE GUYS in drinking scotch and shooting the breeze. The men seemed to enjoy the treats that were trickling out of the kitchen. Nancy was a scotch drinker, so we were freed from kitchen duty so she could enjoy some.
Dinner was a success. Even I was impressed at how well the rib roast turned out. It seemed to melt in your mouth. By now the eggnog and scotch had kicked in, and everyone was in high spirits. I think I was the only one who wasn’t drinking.
After dinner, it was our tradition to open one present. The highlight was Devin and Sandy’s gift to Kyle and Mac of a puppy. I loved the look of horror on Angie’s face. I don’t think she was too excited about adding another baby to their household. At least Angie was able to name the little guy: Duke. She might have changed her mind about keeping him when she saw the three little ones play until they were worn out, and then promptly fall asleep together in a pile.
I helped Angie and Greg gather up their charges and head to the bunkhouse. Nancy and Sandy came with us, and we planned to use the hot tub. I put Duke down on the ground outside so he could do his business, while everyone else went in. Sandy had a travel crate I put Duke into when we got inside. He didn’t like that at all, but Sandy explained we needed to crate-train him now. After listening to him, I almost took him back to his mom in the barn for the night.
When we got to the hot tub, I was in for a surprise: Sandy had absconded with the last of the eggnog. I avoided it because they’d added brandy to it. Everyone seemed to be getting drunk. My eyes got really big when Nancy and Sandy kissed. Well, not just my eyes. Greg and Angie just laughed at me and then began making out.
“David, I forgot to tell you we have plans for you tonight,” Nancy said with a grin.
I could see what was planned, but it wasn’t happening because both girls were drunk. I led them to the bedroom, and they went and changed into nightshirts. I stripped down to my boxers, we crawled into bed, and I admit I kissed them both thoroughly. We were all worn out from the day, and the girls were soon snoozing.
I could still hear Duke complaining. Thankfully he wore himself out, allowing everyone finally to get to sleep.
Thursday December 25
I WOKE TO DUKE YIPPING. My new alarm clock needed to go outside. He wanted to play and was bounding around in the snow. Finally, the furball did his business. I took the squirming puppy inside and tossed him on Greg. Angie called me a bad name, so I went back to my room and let them deal with Rowdy.
“I think someone owes us some loving,” Nancy told me.
“About that ...” I started.
“I may have overstepped my bounds, but I gave Sandy a Christmas present: you. I, of course, get to watch,” Nancy said, shocking me.
They both laughed at me when I tried to back out of the room.
“Am I horrible?” Sandy asked, as she gave me a contrived pout.
“No, I just never expected this. I thought we were just going to be friends,” I said to Sandy.
“We will be. The curiosity is killing me. Make love to me, so I can get you out of my head,” Sandy begged.
“David, please,” Nancy said.
I looked back and forth, and they seemed sober and okay with this. The question was whether I was okay with this. I smiled at them in answer. I pulled off my shorts and Nancy clapped her hands. I jumped up on the bed and tackled Sandy. She squealed, and then put me into a death-lock of a kiss. I think someone really wanted this to happen.
I did as Sandy asked and made love to her. I took my time and focused on making sure she had a great time. At some point, I even forgot Nancy was in the bed watching. Sandy had supersensitive breasts, and they were just the right size to get into your mouth. She liked having them played with, but when I went down on her, she about went out of her mind. I kept her going until she finally pried my mouth off her and forced me to kiss her.
Nancy helped me out by wetting Mr. Happy and putting a condom on. Sandy and I had a lot of fun over the next half hour. I’d never expected to be between those legs, but I was glad I was. When we finally finished, I knew this wasn’t going to be a one-time occurrence. Like I always say, ‘sex changes things.’ I felt even closer to Sandy now.
THIS MAY HAVE BEEN my all-time best Christmas ever! I mean, having sex Christmas morning was special. I put this at the top of my ‘favorite presents of all time’ list. I didn’t think anything could make it better. I was wrong. I got a jet ski and a jet water board! I think Greg was as happy as I was. I guess he should be because his name was on it too. He was dying to try it. Mom and Dad had outdone themselves.
