It was official. Caroline had the best boyfriend ever. She really needed this trip after the stress of school and dreams. It was the perfect week off. The Madonna Inn was gorgeous, they had been to the spa and wine tasting already. Utter relaxation. Today they were trying out horseback riding.
Caroline held Peeta’s hand as they walked over to the stables. “I’ve never been horseback riding,” she admitted. But she had always loved horses. Peeta could probably tell that from the dream drawing of her and the horse. it was yet another trait she shared with her dreamself.
“Neither have I,” Peeta commented with a small smile. He was looking forward to it because he had always been envious of the kids riding the ponies at the fairs and such, but he had never had the chance. But this trip was about getting Caroline to have some relaxation and he was more than happy to try new things. Things had been going well on the trip so far and he was really enjoying the area and he had been eyeing the cakes at the Madonna Inn for their entire trip, “Hopefully it won’t be an issue with my leg. I don’t think it’ll be too bad.”
“I think if anything is difficult it’s going to be the climbing on,” Caroline commented. “But once you’re up there I think you’ll be fine.” At least she assumed he would be. “And if you have any problems I’ll just lift you up,” she teased although she would really do it.
They reached the horses, the instructor person already had them set up with their saddles and all that and told the couple what do to. Caroline let go of her boyfriend’s hand letting him get on his horse first, just in case he needed some help.
He barely paid attention anymore that Caroline was a vampire, so when she made comments like that he usually opened his mouth to retort and then it hit him. Oh yeah, she totally could lift him up if he needed her to. It was strange to think about that, but he was so used to just thinking of her as Caroline. But soon enough they had reached the horses and they were instructed on how to get up. Peeta put his good foot in the stirrup and managed to swing himself over with only a bit of fumbling, “Oh thank god. Hard part’s over.”
Caroline honestly loved that Peeta didn’t see her as a vampire, that it slipped his mind. Being a vampire was just part of who she was, it wasn’t all of her. Or even the most important part. And the fact that Peeta saw past that just proved that he loved her for who she was, not what she was.
“Aw you look adorable up there,” Caroline commented with a laugh before climbing onto her own horse. She couldn’t wait for this experience. “You’re totally popping my horseback riding cherry,” she teased Peeta giving the horse a gentle kick to get him moving.
“Oh really? You know you shouldn’t say things like that when I’m stuck on a horse for the next hour or so,” Peeta teased her as he watched her get onto her own horse. Once they were settled the instructor gave them a few simple instructions before they started out on their trail. It was a really lovely part of California to see on horseback and Peeta was glad that he let Caroline talk him into this. They took their time and it seemed like too soon that it was all over and they were back at the stable. He took the offered assistance to get off the horse and felt a little sore as they made it back to the car to head back to the Madonna Inn.
“My ass is going to be sore for a few days. We might have to just stay in bed tomorrow,” he winked as they drove down the highway.
Caroline couldn’t help but laugh at Peeta’s comment. “If we do that who says I’ll be gentle with your ass,” she teased right back. But really Caroline was perfectly fine with spending an entire day ins bed with her sexy boyfriend. In fact she couldn’t wait to get him in bed. But first there would be cake. Hell who knew maybe she’d even bring some of the Madonna Inn cake to bed.
“Oh really? I’m looking forward to what you intend to do,” Peeta quipped with a laugh as he reached over to grab her hand and gave it a squeeze. And if she brought cake into the bed it wouldn’t the first time baked goods had made an appearance in their bed. It was the hazard of dating a baker who brought home items that you had to try immediately, “Are you having fun on this trip? Did you enjoy the horses?” He wanted to make sure that things were going well and that she was having a good time. It had been a tough year for her and he was happy that he managed to be a part of it and hopefully make things better.
There would definitely be cake in bed. With dating Peeta she was learning all sorts of different ways to dessert in bed. “Patience,” she teased. “Of course. It’s been amazing so far. I really needed this,” she lifted his hand kissing his knuckles. “Thank you,” she added. It was the perfect way to start off her summer and of course Peeta knew exactly what she needed. She really lucked out with him.
“Love you,” Peeta commented with a smile as he leaned over to give her a quick kiss on the cheek. He would give her a proper kiss once they finally got to the inn, but for now that was it, “I’m not gonna lie, I’m excited to see the cakes they have here. Do you want to eat dinner or just grab a cake and bring it back to the room?” He was more than happy to do whatever she wanted to do.
“Love you too,” Caroline replied her smile wider than usual, eyes shining. How could she not be overjoyed while on this trip with the perfect boyfriend. Or well as close to perfect as one could probably get. “Whatever you want,” she replied honestly. Skipping dinner and going straight to dessert was perfectly fine with her. Not like she really needed it. But if Peeta wanted a proper meal she wouldn’t mind. “But I wouldn’t mind skipping straight to dessert,” she whispered in his ear, hopefully it wasn’t too much of a distraction while he was driving.
“I’ll order something for room service later, we can do the cake first,” Peeta compromised because he was going to be hungry eventually. This trip was something he had needed for a while and he had to admit that getting out of the OC and away from all the craziness was kinda nice. They made it to the Inn and he pulled into the parking spot. He moved out of his seat and over to her side so he could open the door for her with a grin, “What kind of cake are you craving?”
Such a gentleman. “Anything chocolate,” Caroline said getting out of the car. She gave Peeta a quick peck on the cheek before grabbing hold of his hand. “I’ll leave the ordering up to you. You are the cake expert after all,” she teased squeezing his hand as they walked inside the inn.
“Can do,” Peeta promised as they made their way into the Inn and towards the restaurant so they could pick up a cake. He looked around at the different one and decided they should get the black forest cake. It didn’t take long to package up and Peeta made sure to hold her close while they waited, “I think this is going to be really good. It looks pretty amazing.” Once the cake arrived in its box they were able to make their way up to their room for the evening.
Once they were in their room Caroline took the box from Peeta setting it down on the table. Then she pulled him in for a proper kiss, because well she just couldn’t resist any longer. “So,” she murmured against his lips. “Which dessert would you like first?”
“Mmmm, obviously you,” He groaned in return as his hands found her hips and held on tightly. This was the best part of being on vacation. Sex was far more interesting and he was pleased that they could be as loud as they want and not get the neighbors banging on the walls or anything like that. He pulled her a little closer by her hips and leaned in to kiss below her earlobe.
“Good choice,” she teased but was quickly distracted by his lips. Her hands wrapped around him traveling down his body till they reached his ass. She gave it a quick squeeze. “Still sore?” she asked with a smirk her hands resting there for now. Man, he had a great ass. Caroline couldn’t get enough of it or him.
“The cake won’t last for too much longer though,” he warned her with a laugh in his voice as he spoke, moving upward to bite her earlobe. He let out a surprised noise when she grabbed his ass before nodding his head, “Just a little bit. I think we can take care of that though.” He was pushing her towards the bed as he spoke because it would be far more comfortable there than anywhere else in the room.
Good thing they could always buy more cake. Or Peeta could make one. She didn’t really care at the moment. The bed and her boyfriend were far more appealing and she wasn’t about to rush things to get to the cake. “Mmmph,” she replied as Peeta pushed her towards the bed. She fell back on to it pulling Peeta down with her. “I think we are going to have to buy another cake later.”
