Eric was fed up.
This was supposed to be a relaxing getaway, a weekend trip at the cabin they bought two years ago and now rarely had time for.
He had planned it down to the last detail. He took two days off from his law firm, arranged to have the cabin cleaned and stocked, packed their bags and filled the car with gas.
He woke Benett slowly, kissing him along his jaw and nibbling that sensitive spot just below his ear that drove his husband wild.
Benett groaned. Eric trailed kisses along his cheek and felt the corner of his mouth curl into a smile.
"I have a surprise for you." He whispered.
Benett opened one eye, "A surprise? It's not my birthday."
"No, it's not. But we haven't spent much time together lately and I just wrapped up my case, so I decided we would go to the cabin for a long weekend!"
Benett lifted his head. "You decided, Master?" There was amusement in his voice!
"Yes, I did. You have 30 minutes to shower and dress. Don't be late. I'd hate to start our trip with a punishment." He brought his palm down on his husband's ass to emphasize his point. Benett groaned sexily but threw the covers off.
25 minutes later, they were on their way.
T2hr ride to the cabin was lovely. The flowering trees were in full bloom and the air was clear and sweet once they were out of the city. Eric had planned for everything, well, except for Benett's phone.
"Benett, put that away. This is about us spending time together."
"Shelly is telling me about the dom she met at the club last night. She really likes her."
"Benett," Eric growled lowly, "put it away."
But 5 miles later, Benett couldn't resist the constant pings and was soon texting back.
"Put. It. Away." Eric emphasized each word clearly. Benett slid the phone into his pocket, but almost immediately pulled it out again.
"I'm just going to read a book." He said, as he swiped the screen.
"No texting, Benett."
"I won't. Just opening my Kindle App."
Eric sighed and laid his hand on Benett's knee. He was happy his case had ended and they could have this time together but he sensed that Benett wasn't as excited as he was.
Eric pulled into a small store.
"Do you want a drink?"
"Yes, please. A coke, lite ice."
"I'll be just a minute. No texting."
A few minutes later, he looked out the window as he stood in line and saw Ben obviously engrossed in texting someone, his thumbs flying over the phone's screen. He paid for the drinks and walked to his car. He stood outside the passenger door and waited. Finally, Benett looked up and jumped, guilt written all over his face.
Eric walked to his side of the car and got in.
As they drove away, Ben fidgeted nervously. Eric let the tension build. Finally Ben spoke.
"Are you going to punish me?"
Eric barked out a short laugh.
"What do you think?"
"Yes?"
"Yes."
A few miles later, Eric slowed the car and turned onto a small cutoff. He stopped the car and wordlessly got out. Benett knew better than to open his door and get out. He waited.
Eric opened the passenger door and looked down at his husband.
