Her Master helped her into the car after saying goodbye to Miss Rachel and Kevin. He told her that they were going for a little drive and that he wanted her to rest. Bella laced her fingers through his and watched the scenery out the window as he drove. After flipping through the music on the flash drive, Gabriel chose an album that he knew would calm and relax her. She was asleep in minutes.
When she awoke, they were surrounded by heavy forest on a mountain road.
"How long have I been asleep, my Master," she asked him groggily.
"Not very long, my dear," he answered.
"Where are we?"
"You'll see soon enough, my sweet. We're almost there," he said smiling at her.
"Okay," she said and looked around.
The road wound through the trees, but she couldn't see much else. They were obviously headed up a mountain, but she wasn't sure where they were or where they were headed. When she turned around, she saw two suitcases in the back and was sure they hadn't been there before.
"My Master," she asked, "what's in the suitcases?"
"Just a few things I stopped to pick up while you were sleeping."
Bella nodded and curled up in the front seat. He obviously didn't plan on telling her very much, so she contented herself with looking out into the woods.
After a few minutes, Gabriel turned off the road they had been on and onto a dirt road that she quickly realized was a long driveway. A beautiful log cabin tucked away in the woods appeared in front of them and Gabriel parked his car off to the side.
She was staring at it when her Master asked, "What do you think, my slut?"
"It's lovely, my Master. Who lives here?"
"No one right now, my sweet. It belongs to a friend of mine and since I have the next three days off, he's letting us stay here."
"Are you serious?" she exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes," he said with a chuckle. "Come on, let's go take a look around."
Gabriel opened the door for her and she wrapped her coat tightly around herself. He took her hand as he walked her to the front door, fished the keys from his pocket, and unlocked the door. Bella's breath caught in her throat when he opened the door. It was the most charming thing she had ever seen.
It was all one big room, except for a little door in the far corner. There was a small, fully stocked kitchen, a little living room with an overstuffed couch and a couple of arm chairs arranged around a coffee table and TV, a huge fireplace, and an enormous bed piled with pillows and warm blankets. The entire place smelled like the woods with a whiff of camp fire smoke.
"This is incredible," she said, looking around in wonder.
"It is," replied her Master. "The bathroom is over there," he said pointing to the door in the corner. We are surrounded by forest, so no one will hear us out here. The woods are peppered with little trails to follow and there's a nice big hot tub out back. There are even horses if you want to go riding. The area should be pretty much deserted, although we may run into some campers if we wonder around long enough.
Bella threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly. "You are so amazing, my Master. What a wonderful idea. I'm so excited and I love you so much."
"I love you too," he said and kissed her. "I thought this would be a nice little getaway for us. You'll be able to walk around naked outside during the day since we're alone out here, but it might get a little chilly at night as we're up in the mountains. I'll keep the fire going at night so that you can stay naked, but you'll probably need to put some clothes on if you go outside."
"But I don't have any clothes, my Master! I just have my collar, my cuffs, and this jacket," she said, lifting my arms.
"Don't worry, little one," her Master soothed. "I stopped to pick up some things while you were sleeping, remember? I've packed everything we'll need."
She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him again, "You really are the greatest Master in the whole world."
"We'll see," he chuckled. "Why don't you take a look through the kitchen to see what we have while I bring the bags in?"
"Yes, my Master," she said, kissing him one more time and then heading to the kitchen.
She looked through the fridge, the freezer, and the cupboards as her Master brought in the bags. She heard him putting stuff away in the drawers while she took an inventory of what they had and began making a plan for dinner.
Gabriel came up behind her and put his arms around her, "So what do you think, my love?"
"The place is really well stocked. I could probably make you anything you like for dinner. Is it always like this?"
"No, my friend keeps canned goods and other non-perishable items here to keep him going for a few days if he or someone drops by for a weekend, but he brought up some fresh food for us yesterday, because he knew we were coming."
"That's very nice of him. Is it anyone I know?" she asked curiously.
"Kind of, my pig, you've met him once before and he's going to drop by for dinner tomorrow. I hope you'll be able to make something nice."
"Of course, my Master, it will be my pleasure," she said and turned around in his arms so that she was facing him. She rested her head on his chest and breathed in his delicious scent.
"Would you like to go for a walk in the woods, little one?" he asked, stroking her hair.
Looking up into his clear blue eyes, she smiled, "I'd really love that, my Master."
"Then let's go," he said, taking her hand and walking her out the door.
They followed a path that lead around the back of the cabin and she stopped to look at the hot tub. It was on a wooden deck that matched the cabin and had a thick cover on it. Bella climbed the stairs and peeked underneath. Her Master had been right, it was a big tub and she suspected they could fit at least 8 people in it. The seats looked really comfortable and it was also equipped with drink holders and underwater lights.
"Wow," she breathed, impressed.
Gabriel nodded, took her hand, and they continued on. Bella really felt like they were in the middle of nowhere. They couldn't hear any cars or people and they were surrounded by lovely green trees.
After a few minutes of walking, they came to an enclosure with four horses in it and a little barn to one side. Bella walked up to the fence and the horses came slowly over, one by one. She talked to them softly and pet them as her Master watched her, a relaxed smile on his face.
