Dad had told me that they were expecting to arrive home around 6.30pm. It was now just gone 6.15. We live on a sheep station (known as a Ranch in the US) in the outback of South Australia, a medium size property in these remote parts consisting of around 700 square kilometers, just on the northern edge of the Flinders Ranges. Mum and Dad had left two days earlier to collect my sister from boarding school having just finished her final year of school in Adelaide which is an eight hour drive away.
I hadn't seen Steph for nearly a year now. I had also gone boarding school and finished the year before but had decided to go back packing through Europe with a couple of mates for nine months before heading off to Ag college just outside of Melbourne in Victoria next year. As a result I had missed Steph returning home for the holidays. I had also missed her eighteen birthday back in June.
My name's Josh and at nineteen, I am a year older than my sister. I'm around 6 foot tall, fairly well built from working around the property and tanned skin. I have sandy blonde hair (usually a bit messy) and blue/grey eyes. I was a late developer and have very little body hair, practically nonexistent on my chest and just a few hairs here and there on my legs. Given the remoteness of where we had grown up, Steph and I had always been close, there hadn't been any local kids to play with (our closest neighbor is an hour and half away). There are no local schools, and our primary school education was with the School of the Air.
Last time I had seen Steph she was a tall and lanky, skinny and flat chested, she had always had a pretty, 'innocent' face, with a delightful smile, blue eyes and longish blonde hair. I was anxious to see how much she had grown up over the last year.
The weather was damn hot for this time of year, mid December, it had been hovering around 40c for the last three days, although during February we can expect it to get up to 46c. Hot, dry and dusty. I was getting around the house in just my kaki farm shorts, as I did most days. I had made sure the drinks were well stocked in the fridge for their return and had put a lamb roast in the oven to slow cook (Steph's favorite). You have to understand that we are a pretty close family and with farm life we all pitch in to help. It's the way it is in these parts.
I glanced out the window and could make a trail of dust on the horizon, this must be them (it couldn't really be anyone else, although we did employ a couple of people to work on the property but they had all gone away to their respective families for Christmas).
Not bothering to put a shirt on I went outside into the heat to wait for them. Sure enough after a couple of minutes I could make out dads new Land Rover Discovery thundering down the dusty dirt road.
He pulled up under the carport and before he had even turned of the engine, my sister Steph jumped out of the back seat. I was taken aback for just a moment as she raced over to give me a hug. I felt the coolness of her skin from the cars air-conditioning and the firmness of her breast as she embraced me, giving me a peck on the cheek, then she pulled away.
"Oh my God, what happened to you?" I stammered, "You've grown up!"
She stood in front of me with a big grin, then swung around "You like." she exclaimed with a giggle.
She had grown another inch or so, a guess to about 5 foot 7 inches, her blonde hair was pulled back into her customary pony tail, her eyes bright a blue and her beautiful smile. She was just wearing a short cotton skirt and plain pink tank top. As I took her in, I realized her body had filled out, her legs were long and lean, smooth and nicely tanned, flat belly, tight butt and firm, well rounded breasts.
"Wow, you look great."
"Thanks, so do you, shit its hot, common lets get out of this heat."
I helped dad with her bags and headed back to the coolness inside.
"Can I get you a drink" I shouted down the hallway to her bedroom where she had headed to unpack.
"Sure, what have we got?"
"Beer, wine, bourbon."
"Thanks Josh, I'll just have a beer." she yelled back.
I went to the drinks fridge in our family room, pulled out 3 beers, one for dad, Steph and myself, and then poured a glass of white wine for mum.
We had a great evening, catching up on the local gossip over dinner. Talking about what was happening on the property and filling us in on her various friends. We chatted about my trip through Europe, but not too much. There parts I would rather not talk about in front of Mum and Dad. This we could talk about later.
Mum and Dad headed off to bed around 10:00. Steph and headed outside to catch up on the real school gossip. For the next hour she filled me in on who was seeing who, who had hooked up with who and so on. I asked her about her boyfriend, Derek, she told me that they had split up a couple months ago. I heard her murmur under her breath 'soft cock' and I couldn't help but laugh. She grinned back at me.
"Something you want to talk about?"
"Nah, no big deal, Ill tell you about it another time."
"Hey, what's the plan for tomorrow?" she asked
"I'll be out doing the water run."
"Want some company."
"Sure." I replied
"Got to be up early though, want to try and beat the worst of the heat."
"Sure, no sweat."
The 'water run' as we call it, involves basically following the main water lines across the property, checking there are no leaks and that all the water troughs and windmills are working properly so the stock can get water. During summer we have to do it each week and generally takes 6 -8 hours round trip. It would be good to have some company.
"Common, we had better get to bed, early start."
"OK, see you in the morning, wake me up."
I went to bed fasinated at how my younger sister had grown up. A year ago she had been a skinny kid and now she had blossomed into a very attractive, dare I say it, hot young woman.
I woke early with my normal morning stiffy and fought off the urge to have a wank, instead pulling on a loose pair of boxes (I always slept in the nude). The sun was starting to come up and there was some partial light. I padded down the hallway still half asleep needing to pee with my semi hard dick tenting out my shorts, I stepped into the toilet, tuned on the light then nearly walked straight into my sister, scaring the crap out of me, sitting on the toilet.
"Shit, I'm so sorry, sorry." I stammered as I tried to back out.
She had an instant look of surprise as the light flicked on and her eyes met mine. Her eyes slowly lowed as she spotted my tented boxer shorts less than 2 feet in front of her face. Her mouth broke into a smile.
"You'd better put that thing away before you poke someone's eye out."
I stepped back out of the toilet feeling rather embarrassed and headed off to use the other bathroom and take a shower. I'll have to be more careful how I get around the house.
