It is a cool, clear September morning when Tricia arrives at the cabin. The sun has well risen but the chill off the lake defeats most of its warmth. Picturesque, is the first word that comes to her mind. The cabin, the lake, the fall colours on the surrounding trees, all of it together makes it look so appealing. She feels that she has arrived in paradise, a paradise in nature that will be matched by her own personal paradise when her lover arrives.
She and Brent have been chatting on the internet for some time now. During this time they have become good friends, and more. Their friendship has moved from friendship through intimacy to passion. In this cabin, over the next few days will see the consummation of that passion. This will be the passion that her life has been missing.
Tricia and Brent have been planning this excursion for months, and Tricia can hardly believe it is finally going to happen. Since leaving home a few hours ago, she has become more and more excited about it, emotionally and sexually excited. If she has her way the next few days will be mostly quiet, peaceful and soothing, interrupted frequently with periods of intense sexual passion that will be anything but quiet and peaceful.
Carrying her bag into the cabin she sees that it is going to suit their needs perfectly. It is a simple place, but it has all they need. Under the window, which provides a nice view of the lake, there is a small table with a couple of chairs. To one side sits a bureau with a television on it, on the other side there is a small refrigerator.
A beautiful fireplace is the focal point of the room. It has a glass front, and occupies almost the whole wall at the foot of the bed. The queen size bed is in the center of the room, and it is sure to be the center of her world the next few days. It seems comfortable as she sits on it and pictures her and Brent naked and exploring each other here soon, very soon.
After all this waiting it seems like a dream. She allows herself a moment of fantasy and then gets up to unpack her bag. She steps into the washroom and sees that although not extravagant it has an adequate tub with shower and a nice counter sink and toilet.
Yes, everything she needs is here, except Brent.
Having hung some sexy negligee in the bathroom, and put the rest of her clothes in the bureau, and a few other things in the bedside table, Tricia has just a few minutes to touch-up her hair and makeup before she heads off to meet Brent.
They have decided to have their first meeting not at the cabin, but over lunch. They planned this to add a sense of dignity to their first face to face meeting. Their passion for each other by now was such that if they met in the cabin, the niceties would be short and they would be naked, humping like rabbits immediatly. Besides, the added sexual tension of a first date in public will add to their stimulation, especially since they already know where this date is heading. The next few days have all the intrigue of a first meeting, all the comfort of a good friend, all the discovery of a new lover. What a weekend this will be!
Glancing at her watch Tricia sees that she will be just a few minutes late, and slips out the door. The restaurant at which they have planned to meet is just a nice walk from the cabin. Although nestled in its own little cove on the lake, the cabin is one of several at this small resort.
"I wonder how many other little escapades like ours are going on at these cabins right now," she muses to herself. These cabins have 'getaway' or 'secret rendezvous' written all over them.
Having earlier taken this path down to the cabin, she knows the route so her mind is now completely captivated by the upcoming meeting. Her heart begins to pound in her chest as she nears the restaurant.
With effort she maintains her composure and steps into the restaurant. She notices him immediately, recognizing him from the picture e-mailed to her. He has been looking expectantly at the door, recognizing her at the same time as she does him.
They instantly smile at each other. It is a smile of excitement, of shared secrecy, of anticipation. They are now committed, there is no turning back now from their long anticipated rendezvous.
Brent stands as Tricia arrives at the table; taking her hand he greets her with a discrete kiss on the cheek,
"Hello beautiful," he says.
Sitting across from each other they are both simultaneously: excited, nervous, relieved and extremely happy.
"Well, we both made it," Brent opens the conversation. "How was your drive?"
"Fine," she answers. "What time did you arrive?"
"Oh, about 20 minutes ago."
"I beat you, I've already been down to the cabin," she tells him, grinning.
"Really? How do you like it?"
"It's great! All the luxuries of home with none of the hassles."
Brent chuckles.
"I know what you mean, I've really been looking forward to this. You are as beautiful in person as in your picture," Brent tells her.
"Are you hungry?"
"Not really, I'm having too many butterflies right now to eat."
"Me too."
Their attention is locked on one another and there is a glimmer in their eyes revealing the excitement they are each trying to contain. This is a special situation, a first date, first meeting in fact with an old close friend. Almost a blind date but they are well aquatinted and there is no question about what the other feels, or where the date is going to end up in only a short while.
After a few more minutes of chatting while smiling and staring at each other the pent up energy they're containing, coupled with the sexual tension they are feeling has become too much.
Brent suggests they go for a short walk to let him unpack.
Taking his suitcase in one hand and Tricia's hand in the other, Tricia directs their walk to the path to their cabin.
"Are you nervous?" Brent asks.
"Yes, are you?"
"Well, my heart is beating like crazy, I'm tongue tied and I can't think straight. Maybe its part nervous, part excitement, part anticipation but I do know this; I can't wait until we are truly alone."
She smiles at Brent and squeezes his hand,
"Mmm me too."
Their walk to the cabin is only a few minutes. Tricia unlocks the door and he follows her into their little getaway.
"Ahhh, this is just what I'd imagined," Brent says, "and so are you."
