Reece

I took Trinity by the hand and led her down to the main floor. We didn't leave through the front door of the castle, instead we went into the garage that was dedicated to our personal vehicles and those of our friends and family.
Trinity was looking around at all of the cars that I owned and passed by. We weren't taking any of those though. We passed the Mustang, the Ferrari, the SUVs, the BMW, all of them. I took her to the Jeep that I had bought for her for our first Christmas together.
"The Jeep?" She looked at me with confusion in her eyes.
"It will serve the purposes well." I smiled at her. "It's been modified."
"OK, whatever that means." She rolled her eyes with a smile on her lips. "I take it you're driving, since I don't know where we're going."
"Yup." I opened the passenger side door for her to get in. "My lady." I held a hand out for her so that I could help her up.
"What a gentleman." The way she batted her eyes and moved told me that she definitely thought this was a joke. Nope, it was all real. She was my lady of course. More so than she was anyone else's.
After we were strapped into the Jeep, we started off. The thing was when we were past the inner gate of the castle I turned toward the trees and the mountain. I was heading further back into our property.
"What the hell?" My very surprised wife asked me as she bounced around in her seat. "Reece? Where are we going?"
"You will see." I winked at her as I followed the trail that had been set for us.
It was a little bumpy, that was for sure, but it wasn't anything that we couldn't handle. When I had come out here with Valerian to prepare this, we had made sure that the Jeep could make it through this terrain. That had of course been while my Little Bunny was busy having other meetings. I had prepared all of this ahead of time.
"Reece, what are you doing? There is nothing out here. There's never been anything out here." She was still doubting me as I drove along the slightly sloped ground. We were climbing higher and higher as we made our way to the place that I was going to surprise her with.
The Jeep was capable of making the trek, I knew that, but I also didn't want to push the limits too much by driving too fast. This could get dangerous if I wasn't careful.
Not that it mattered all that much. Trinity had magic and could probably just drive us up to where we were going. I could have just shifted and ran up the mountain with her on my back. There were so many options that we had but this was what I chose because it was the least amount of effort needed on my Little Bunny's part. I wanted to do this for her. Not to mention it was fun.
That exhilarating feeling you get when the vehicle tips just a little, that adrenaline rushing through your body, it was all quite amazing. And despite the wondering look that was in my Little Bunny's eyes, she was showing how excited she was. This drive was a little bit like a personal roller coaster ride for us.
Finally, after more than twenty minutes of driving, we could see the place in the distance. It was a large cabin that we could retreat to. I had come out here with Valerian last week and built it with him and his magic.
The cabin was for me, Trinity, Reagan, Rika, and any future kids. It was our private retreat if things ever got too much for us, and we needed a break. There were seven bedrooms, four bathrooms, and lots of personal space. The master suite was fully loaded with every luxury amenity I could think to add for us. I wanted it to be our own private utopia.
"Oh my Goddess. Reece? What is all this?" She wasn't able to believe what it was that she was seeing right now.
"This is your birthday present. This is a place we can be alone, just the two of us. Or we can come here with the kids when we want to get away. It's still on the property but it's remote, very remote, and it's away from everyone in the castle."
"Reece?" She looked like she was about to cry. "I love it. It's so amazing. Thank you."
"You haven't even seen the inside of it yet." I laughed with her.
"I don't even have to, I already know it's going to be amazing."
She leaned over then and kissed my cheek.
"Thank you." The smile on her face was all worth it. She was the one I was trying to please here, and seeing that face she was making just made me fall in love with her all over again.
When we finally pulled up outside of the cabin, I walked around and opened the car door for my wife. I pulled her to me and held her in my arms until we were inside.
"You know, I could have walked." She grinned at me.
"I know, but I like holding you against me. Is that so bad?"
"No, I guess not."
I showed her around the place that we were going to be staying, especially the bedroom and bathroom that were meant just for us. I loved the fact that she was smiling broadly the entire time.
I had already sent luggage over here for us so there was nothing else to bring in or do at all. We just needed to enjoy ourselves, alone, all night. I had some very good plans for us. The first of which was trying out the tub, then the bed, and we could work out wherever else I decided to take her after that.
So after the tour was over, I carried her right into the bathroom and started to fill the tub.
