CHAPTER FOURTEEN
By summertime, Monica's negotiations with the software company had resulted in an excellent contract. In addition to a substantial salary and lots of creative autonomy, she would have some control of her hours and be able to do part of her work at home. She gave her old employer a month's notice, since the new job wouldn't be ready until then and she announced that she would take her accumulated two weeks of vacation immediately. Her loathsome boss was in no position to protest, since she was the only one who could train her replacement.
Cole and Monica agreed that when she left her job downtown, she would move in with him to further test their compatibility. If they could live together happily for six months or so, they believed that marriage should be the next step.
They decided to use part of her vacation for hiking. Cole cancelled some of his appointments and rearranged others to make time. It was a three hour drive along curvy mountain roads to the small resort town of Leavenworth. They decided to take her car, since the weather was perfect for riding with the top down. Monica drove the little sports car like a professional, drifting it around curves and passing slower traffic at just the right moment. She refused to tell Cole where she learned to drive that way.
They arrived shortly after noon and looked around the unusual town before checking in at the luxurious bed and breakfast. Most of the buildings in Leavenworth had been modified and decorated to make the town look like a traditional Bavarian village. Even the supermarket and the fast food outlets joined in the Bavarian theme. Playing tourist, they wandered through dozens of small shops offering imported German products and local crafts.
Each day they would see how hard they could push themselves on the steep hiking trails that led to waterfalls or alpine lakes. Being younger, Monica could hike faster, but Cole, with decades of hiking experience, could go just as far when allowed to set his own pace. The weather was spectacular and the usual insects seemed to have gone elsewhere, so they enjoyed themselves immensely.
Each evening, they would make the short drive back into town and eat at one of the excellent German or Austrian restaurants. Neither of them had ever eaten so much wiener schnitzel and strudel. One night they tried a restaurant that was styled in the Bavarian beer hall tradition and sampled the sauerbraten with sauerkraut and excellent German beer. Fortunately, their daily exertions in the surrounding mountains made up for the delicious, but heavy meals.
On the last hiking day, Cole told her that they would play. "I've selected a trail that should be nearly deserted, so we'll be able to enjoy ourselves," he said as they left the bed and breakfast.
Arriving at the trailhead after a 15 minute drive, they noticed only one other car in the small parking area. Cole began to give her orders. "Leave your bra in the car, subby girl."
With Cole carrying a daypack, they walked up the pleasant trail, enjoying the ideal hiking conditions. "I want you to stay a few steps behind me. Listen carefully and obey all my commands."
After a few minutes he said, "I want to see your breasts now. Raise your T-shirt and keep it up as we hike. If you let it fall, you'll be punished."
The idea of exposing herself in public to fulfill the orders of her master was extremely hot. As they hiked, she fell deeper into the familiar submissive headspace. "I'm the beautiful slavegirl, following my master on the trail to some distant land," she thought to herself. An elaborate fantasy took shape in her mind as they hiked. In her fantasy, her body was perfect, something that she normally couldn't perceive.
Cole loved to watch her full breasts bounce as she hiked. Their firmness and perfect rounded shapes were still fascinating to him. He had to be careful not to trip when he looked back at her. Playing like this made him feel extremely dominant and since his playmate was his beloved Monica, he was getting very horny too.
