"Dammit..." I headed up the hill from the garage, shivering as I lugged the duffelbag full of meat up to the house. From this angle I could see the rav four parked on my driveway next to Tori's vehicle. My pulse quickened at the thought of Sienna joining us for a few weeks. "This is gonna be fun," I muttered, my heartrate elevating at the thought.
I half expected to see Sienna in the kitchen waiting for me as I packed up the deer meat in the refrigerator and hung up my cold weather clothing. But she was nowhere to be seen, and I took my time, figuring the girls would surprise me when they were ready.
Tori walked into the room. Alone. She looked me over, blood staining my skin and boxers. "Successful hunt?"
I nodded. "Another deer."
"You're gonna fill those freezers in no time."
"That's the idea."
Monday and Tuesday had been more of the routine is established over the weekend. Go out hunting, make dinner, fuck Tori senseless. It was a fun routine.
I'd only just gotten a deer yesterday, so hopefully this was the start of a trend. They didn't seem to hang out in the orchard or nearby, but as soon as I started scouting with the snowmobile, riding out and dismounting to track, I saw a bunch.
Even if I didn't end my ride with a deer in the tow-behind trailer of my snowmobile, it was nice to get out into nature, to spend time alone in the silent woods. I don't do well alone in ordinary settings, but tracking among skeletal trees, trudging through sunlit fields of snow, listening to the wind whip across the dead yellow grass just barely protruding from from the drifts...I was at peace. I could forget my stressful job, I could forget home invasions, I could forget Jessie.
Occasionally, I could forget Jessie.
And coming home had become a nice ritual too. Tori spent the day reading or drawing up designs for her business, and by the time I walked in -- in my boxers and usually in need of a shower to remove some type of animal blood -- she was looking for some company, usually of a physical nature.
It was a fun way to live. If I ever won the lottery I'd move up here permanently.
"There's a surprise for you in the bedroom," Tori told me with a grin.
"Oh yeah? What is it?"
She playfully elbowed me in the chest. "If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise."
I glowered at her good-naturedly and headed for my shower. I'd play along with the girls' plans.
Advance knowledge of her presence didn't mean my heart didn't skip a beat or three when I saw Sienna kneeling next to my bed.
I hadn't seen her since the mall, and she looked GOOD. She'd obviously styled her hair, not a single blond strand was out of place in the short waves that skimmed her shoulders. Her eyes were made up dark, and her lipstick was a smoky purple-black.
Aside from the makeup, she didn't have a single thing on. I let my eyes roam hungrily over her body, the lean musculature under her light skin -- not vampiric-Jessie-pale, but still a whiter shade than normal, her taut stomach, high, full breasts capped with light brown nipples, delicate neck, long legs folded gracefully under her, and shadowed between her open thighs, a slightly thicker patch of blonde pubic hair.
Her arms were clasped behind her and her head was down.
"Hi," I said. I did my best not to make my voice sound excited. Or surprised. Or strangled.
Sienna looked up with a soft smile, her eyes widening slightly at my appearance. "Hi."
"You look nice."
That smile twisted slightly bigger. "Thank you. Thought you'd like the look."
I reached out and stroked her hair. "I do, very much."
"Do you have a moment we could talk?"
I rummaged for some clothing in the dresser, pulled out jeans and boxers and a henley. "I've gotta shower first. I'm freezing cold and I've got deer blood drying on my skin." I paused, thought about it. "You're welcome to join me."
"I'll wait here," she said simply.
I took my time in the shower, warming up under the scalding water and scraping my skin clean. I dressed, and though I'd expected Sienna to have moved to a more comfortable position, like on the bed, or really anything other than kneeling like a prisoner, she was still kneeling on the floor, waiting when I'd exited the bathroom.
"You can get up, you know."
"I know."
"What did you want to talk to me about?"
Sienna looked up. "How long would you like me to stay up north with you and Tori?"
I shrugged. "As long as you want. I'm here until into January."
"I've gotta go back to Minneapolis for Christmas with my parents, but I'd like to stay the rest of the time you're here. Is that ok?"
"Absolutely."
She inhaled deeply, seemed to work up her courage."While... While I'm here...can I be your sub?"
"I don't have subs. I'm not some abusive asshole rich guy who makes women sign contracts before he'll have sex with them. If you want to stay around we can have lots of sex, as kinky as you want. Or not. Up to you."
Sienna reached under the bed, her first movement since I'd walked in. She pulled out the neoprene and nylon collar she'd worn her first weekend at my townhouse, and the long leather leash. She offered both up to me. "Please."
"You want to wear those?"
