I woke up the next morning to the sound of birds singing. As I slowly opened my eyes and stretched, I fondly remembered the memories of yesterday. My body feeling just slightly sore. I looked around. Alex would usually be up earlier than me to make breakfast when we were camping, but right now he was nowhere to be seen. I slowly crawled my naked body out of the sleeping back and kept looking around, slightly confused and worried. That was when I spotted my collar left by the side of the burnt out campfire, and a simple note placed underneath it. I picked it up, and started reading
Good morning pet
I am sorry I couldn't be there when you woke up. Hopefully, the tea water will still be warm for you when you do. I went for an early morning walk to prepare for todays game. I expect you to be wearing your collar and what I left for you by the backpacks when I return. Nothing else.
Your Master, Alex
P.S. Give yourself that ninth spank for me
I bit my lips, having no real idea what he had planed but knowing it wouldn't be anything simple if he had to head away from camp to prepare. I quickly slipped the collar back around my neck before I lifted my own hand and sent it down as hard as I could against my left cheek.
"Nine!"
I said out loud, following orders just in case he was nearby, and because it felt good to do as he had told me to. While rubbing my ass gently I made my way over to the backpacks. The heavy one was missing, and right by the smaller one sat my running shoes. They where much smaller and nimbler than my camping boots, and luckily for me a pair of white knee high socks where stuffed into the left shoe. I quickly put them on, thankful to have at least some level of protection from the elements. I sat back down by the fire, and enjoyed my slightly cold breakfast.
"There we are pet."
Alex said as he emerged from the forest. Approaching me where I sat by the campsite. I smiled up at him, proudly displaying my collar to show I did as he told me. He smiles and continues his monologue.
"I have planed out a little game for us to play today pet. You see... I feel like going hunting"
He reached down, toying with my collar before planting a deep kiss on my lips. As I slowly looked up he decided to finish his sentence.
"and you're my pray. Up."
He pulled me up to my feet by the collar, admiring my naked body, tracing his hands along my curves. Smelling my hair, kissing my neck.
"Did you do everything I told you to do?"
"Yes sir."
"Good."
He suddenly sent the last smack down on my right cheek, making it count.
"Ten!"
I gasped, keeping eye contact as he slowly tied a line of string with a key attached to it around my collar. He then held the key up, and pointed in a direction I assume is northward, up the hillside.
"If you follow the path in that direction, you will find a box behind a pile of rocks at the top of the hill. It has your clothes. If you can get there and unlock it, you win. If I catch you, I win."
Sometimes Alex would get that predatory look in his eyes. We where both aware he was faster and stronger than me. And to top it off he knew where the price was, and I didn't really. That was not the point, we both knew I would lose in the end, but he expected a fight, and I was going to give it to him. I gave him a nod, and he let go of my collar.
"Run. Run little deer!"
I did just as he ordered, setting off in the direction he had pointed, not looking back to see if he was following me.
~~~
I didn't run for too long. From how Alex had described the place it seemed like it would be a little bit away. So I stopped for just a second, before continuing onwards at a slower pace. Where was he anyway? I would have figured he would have had time to catch up with me by now, but he was nowhere to be seen. I suddenly felt aware of how exposed I was. All naked in the middle of the forest with no map, no equipment, no food. Nothing but a promise that if I followed this path up the hill, I would find my clothes. Regardless, it was Alex. I trusted him. It felt like I had been walking for a while but in retrospect I doubt it was much more than 10 minutes when I heard rustling from the bushes behind me. I looked over my shoulder as Alex jumped from the bushes.
"Run deer!"
He laughed as I dshed forward, running like the horrified deer he wanted me to be. I had gotten into my role, and truly felt terror as he charged after me. I could hear him right behind me, picture him in my head as he jumped out of the bush, rope in hand and that scary smile on his face. He didn't keep the chase going for long, grasping after me before letting me pull away, soon he was out of sight once again.
"I'll see you soon my little deer!"
