"Maybe next time," James offered. It wasn't like this would be the only ski trip the students went on together. James wouldn't mind going again. It was nice to see everyone outside their natural environments, their comfort zones shifted, and see how they behaved.
It was also nice to see Adrian's bare back. James sipped his wine and watched unabashedly as the boy removed his shirt and pulled the robe on. "I did. Despite the wet dirty snow, even."
He chuckled softly and moved to the wide sliding glass door that showed a vista of the mountain and the slopes, lights of the ski lifts still illuminated. Slipping outside and reaching the hot tub, James dipped his fingers in to test the water and waited for Adrian to join him before asking: "Wine? I had room service bring some juice, too. If you prefer."
