The Arrangement

Chapter Thirty-Seven

Henley

As we finally approach the secluded cabin, the darkness of the night continues to envelop us, with only the soft glow of the SUV's lights illuminating the structure ahead of us. Blair noticeably gasping m as she takes it in.

Nestled amongst the towering pines, the cabin is a masterful blend of rustic charm and modern elegance. The architecture thoughtfully designed to harmonise with our surroundings. The silhouette is truly striking and every time I come out here it takes my breath away too.

"Wait till you see it in the daylight" I say as I open my door and slip out, the cold night air wrapping around me. The smell of nature engulfing me straight away.

I take in a large lung full feeling somewhat like I've come home. I've always loved it out here and in truth we don't spend enough time out here in it's how busy we've all become recently.

When I glance over to Blair she's still sat in the car staring up at the cabin seeming a little awestruck. It's adorable to be completely honest and a bit of a breath of fresh air.

Every other woman we've brought in before has lived what I guess some would call, privileged lives. Never once seeming impressed by anything, they've always had this sense of expectation to them but with Blair that's no where to be seen.

Heading over to her side I open the door for her and hold my hand out for her to take. "I've always wanted to go somewhere like this" she admits as she eases out of her seat. "You know far away from everything, with nature and..." she says but stops short when she hears a hooting sound near by.

"Holy fuck was that an owl" she gasps eyes wide as her gaze shifts from amazement to worry. "Is there like bears and stuff around here too, am I going to be eaten?"

I can't help myself as my response comes out my dick doing the talking for me when it's definitely not needed in this moment. "By me? Yeah"

She bites down on her bottom lip, shifting from one foot to the other, clearly flustered.

"You have a dirty mind," she finally manages to squeak out and I can tell she's thinking about it.

"Like you wouldn't believe sunshine. Come on let me show you around properly" I say shifting the conversation before I let my thoughts run wild. I tug her hand and pull her towards the door, quickly pulling out my phone and activating the cabin. Causing it to illuminate as if it's come to life.

Lanterns flicker on from the porch leading down the path and right as we make our way up causing Blair to gasp again. I don't think I'm ever going to get over hearing that sound come from her either. It makes me want to amaze her and show her the world everyday.

When we reach the door I open it and guide her through first letting her take in her surroundings whilst I secretly relish in her sheer amazement all over again.

The interior of the cabin is a sanctuary of warmth and comfort, a place where every detail is designed to enhance relaxation and enjoyment as per Carter's request. One I'm glad he'd made.

The fireplace is already aglow with a welcoming fire, its flames casting a flickering dance of light across the room. The furnishings are plush and inviting, offering a cozy refuge from the chill outside.

As Blair explores the space, I watch her, delighted by her reactions. Her appreciation of the cabin's elegance and comfort mirrors my own, and I'm glad to share this special place with her.

"Wow this place is beautiful Henley" she breathes as she walks around still taking everything in.

"It really is" I agree knowing full well she hasn't seen the half of it yet.
