Yes, it's been a while since I committed to writing anything new. In a way it's much like this story because work has been influencing my frame of mind and I just wasn't in the mood for it. If nothing else it's a reminder to take some time to enjoy what you have in front of you.
I decided to be introspective so the characters, events and setting are very real. A number of shorter pieces will tell the entire story... We'll just have to see where it goes and when I get tired of typing. Be patient, there will be sex.
I hope you enjoy reading them.
Part 1 – Getting there
She could have stayed in the shower, head soaking under the spray, for much longer but knew that they had a schedule to stay on. If they were going to avoid much of the Friday afternoon traffic she needed to finish getting ready. At least she had the prospect of no schedule to follow once they got to their destination for the weekend.
They had taken a mini vacation in the same area a couple of months ago and the quiet, relaxed atmosphere had been good for both of them. Sure, it wasn't the Caribbean or Hawaii but the seclusion of the cabin had been a welcome relief from the hectic schedules and pressures of work that they so easily succumbed to. The cabin would be a different one and it was off season for tourists so it should be perhaps even quieter.
The cabin, really more like a home, had 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs, a pool table in the game room, a decent sized kitchen, a hot tub on the wrap around deck and most importantly a king sized bed in the master bedroom. The only short coming was a gas instead of real fireplace.
Her thoughts drifted for a minute while drying herself off to the night spent last trip laying and loving in front of the fire. That was the good part. The bad of course was waking up naked, still on the floor and being so cold since they had both fallen asleep without grabbing any covers. By then, the fire had burned itself out.
Still, it had been a wild night and the memories she was seeing in her head started her nipples hardening.
"Focus" she thought to herself.
She caught a glimpse of her profile as she hung up the towel and looked at her reflection critically. Twenty pounds lighter than a couple of months ago definitely showed. Her butt and legs had always looked good and now the rest of her did as well. Breasts that had been a small D cup were now a large C and were still an asset that men noticed. Her hair, now a more natural brown than blonde was a shorter style than she had been wearing and gave her face a different look. She hadn't been trying for younger, just something different to compliment her features. All in all, not bad for her late thirties she concluded.
A few minutes later, the cosmetics and toiletries were packed, hair dryer and flat iron put in her carry all bag and she walked them out to the hallway where his bag already sat. Of course, he had packed his clothes and stuff last night so he wouldn't have to deal with it when he got home. She still had her clothes to pack and still had to deal with making some decisions about what to take with her.
"We're spending the weekend at the cabin so don't worry about taking half your closet with you," he had teased her last night.
"Fine, I'll just go naked the whole time," she replied.
"Works fine for me but you'll probably be a bit cold. Maybe you should consider pajamas at least."
"Maybe you should just worry about your own clothes," she answered back.
"You forgot to say bite me," he said smiling at her.
"Don't have to, you already said it for me," which pretty much is where they left things.
To an outsider, their teasing might not be understood and on more than one occasion they had witnessed the questioning looks from someone within earshot of their back and forth. They really didn't care because they loved each other madly and it was all that mattered. They understood each other and the teasing was never anything but playful.
The bed was soon covered by a couple of basic skirts, a few tops, 2 pairs of jeans, lounging pajamas, a swim cover up, panties, bras, socks and finally, a couple pieces of lingerie that she had ordered especially for the weekend. One of those was a garter belt and thigh high hosiery that she was saving for Saturday night. All she had left now was the "toys" to pick out.
They both enjoyed including her toys in their play and it had made for some exhausting evenings of sweaty sex for the last couple of years. There were a couple of new ones that she was anxious to try this weekend since they were waterproof and could be taken out to the hot tub.
She managed to fit everything into one bag mostly because it was twice the size of the one he had used.
"If I need anything else I'll just buy it up there," she thought as she zipped up the bag and then carried it out to join the others.
"Shit," she thought. "I almost forgot the shoes."
Her plans for Saturday night would not be complete without the fuck me heels she had bought to go with the outfit she had planned on.
The door to the apartment opened and what he saw as he entered was his wife in nothing but panties walking back towards the bedroom.
"I guess you weren't kidding about going naked," he said.
"Just get the car loaded and I'll be dressed by the time you're done," she called back.
"You don't have to get dressed for me you know. Just put on your long fur and live dangerously," he countered.
"Just load the car honey, maybe we can do that some other road trip."
"I might just take you up on that," he said as he grabbed the first two bags and headed down to the car.
Besides the bags there was the computer, wine and alcohol, the coffee press and coffee, CDs, DVDs and a few other necessities that they knew from the last trip were worth bringing with them. The place was furnished but not stocked so they would pick up groceries once they got there.
He came in from the last trip to the car and she was indeed dressed and ready to go. All that was left was to tell the cats that they would be back and to behave. BW would be fine they knew but Abby was still a kitten and it was the first time she would be left without "supervision." Hopefully BW would keep her in line.
It was a couple minutes after 2 p.m. when they got on the highway and traffic was light until they got into downtown Knoxville an hour later. The construction was causing significant backups even though it was still early afternoon. She noticed that he was unusually calm in the stop and go traffic.
His thoughts were elsewhere, driving on auto pilot. Leaving work at noon was not a problem but there were still concerns about what kind of progress his current project work was making. ZZ Top playing in the background was definitely helping him leave it behind and he really was trying hard to close down the part of his mind that was still processing work related information. They both needed some decompression and play time away and knowing that the cabin was only another hour on the road helped as well.
They found the rental office with little problem and were quickly back on the road headed to the grocery store. They picked up what they needed for breakfasts, snacks, water and fruit and then continued on to the cabin.
The property was about 10 miles from Gatlinburg up a steep, winding road that was just wide enough for two cars. You really couldn't see much because of the dense trees lining each side. Their cabin was about ¾ of the way to the top of the climb and it wasn't until they parked in the driveway and got out of the car that they could appreciate the view.
The cabin itself was on one side of a small valley, probably 100 yards across to the next slope. Through the trees you could see parts of the creek that ran along the bottom but the real view was at the end of the valley where some of Gatlinburg was visible. There were cabins on either side but they appeared to be empty or at least no one staying there currently.
More than anything, once the fans had stopped running for the car, was the quiet of being in the woods. There was plenty of sound and noises, but none of it was man-made. Better yet, neither cell phone showed any kind of signal strength.
They unpacked quickly and while he put away the groceries she checked out the inside of the cabin. It looked as nice as the pictures on the net had shown but you had to walk around to really appreciate the vaulted ceiling and the floor space the cabin had. The view from the deck was the same as from the driveway, overlooking the small valley and the neighboring slope.
He was busy pouring himself a drink when he heard the water running in the bathroom. He walked in and found her bending over the tub, checking the water temperature.
"Didn't you take a shower before we left today," he asked?
"And your point," she replied?
"Oh nothing, I guess you miss having a Jacuzzi tub like we had in San Diego."
"Good answer," she said. "I know you're going to go smoke so get that out of your system and then come back in and do my back."
"Anything for a soon to be naked lady," he said and walked out to the sliding glass doors and the deck.
Even with the sun behind the next ridge it was still warm for early January. There was hardly any breeze and the wood deck was still warm underneath his bare feet. The vodka rocks went down easy, the cigarette was just a distraction from what he was thinking about.
He went back to the kitchen counter to pour himself a second drink and mixed amaretto and sour to take to her in the bath.
She was lying in the tub with a towel behind her head. The bubbles were thick enough to cover but not completely hide her lush curves. Her breasts were about half under the water and he took his time looking at her before moving finally to sit on the edge.
"Thanks for the drink sweetie," she said as she took a healthy drink from the glass. "Are you going to join me in here or just sit in the edge?"
"Hold this," he said handing her his glass.
She watched him unbutton his shirt and remove it, unbuckle and unzip his pants before sliding them off his hips and legs and wasn't shocked to see him without any underwear on. That was normal for the weekends but she was a little surprised he hadn't put any on that morning.
He took his glass back from her and slid in behind her in the tub.
"Let a little bit of water out babe. I don't want to flood the place our first night here."
She bent forward to reach for the drain and he slid deeper and further into the tub. When she leaned back she had significantly less room.
"That is so not fair!"
