Chapter Nine

Annabelle woke to the smell of bacon. Leaning up on her elbows, she saw a simple black woolen skirt with a cream linen blouse laid out on the bed. There were stockings but no other underthings. At least it wasn’t a calico dress, she thought sardonically.

Taking in the rest of her surroundings, she could see a dent in the pillow next to hers. Leaning close she sniffed, sandalwood. She had slept next to Mason.

A large clatter beyond the bedroom door had her scurrying to get dressed. She blushed at the thought of no corset or pantalets but at least she wouldn’t be walking around in his shirt and nothing else. It was scandalous to feel the slide of the soft linen against her naked breast. The sweep of the skirt across her bare bottom. Annabelle pushed it from her mind as she buttoned her boots and prepared to face Mason.

“Morning, Calico.”

“Morning,” she answered shyly, unable to meet his eye.

Mason watched her closely. He was rough on her last night. He couldn’t muster the tiniest bit of regret. Jesus Christ she was tight. Her response was so untamed and raw. He couldn’t wait to get back inside her.

“Sit.”

Annabelle sat at the kitchen table. The wood was smooth from years of use. He put a tin plate in front of her. With a small smile, he also placed a two-prong fork.

“I know how you like to eat all fancy-like with utensils,” he said with an exaggerated Southern drawl and wink.

Annabelle stared at the pile of food wondering if this was meant for both of them. She got her answer when he sat across from her with a plate piled even higher. There were eggs, bacon, corn muffins and fried apple slices. She tried a small piece of fried apple. The sweet taste comforting. As she chewed, Annabelle looked around the cabin. While not large it was spacious with nice furnishings…for a homestead. In the living area, there were beautiful pine-wood chairs with rawhide seats on top of a large hand-woven carpet. Lace coverings over the window and shelves with various porcelain figurines gave it a soft feminine touch. The kitchen had a large fireplace as well as a cast iron stove. They probably used the fireplace initially for cooking, once the farm prospered the stove was added, she thought. Again, small feminine touches like dried herbs hung as decoration and a few potted flowers gave the kitchen a homey feel. The bedroom was simple. A large bed fashioned together with tree trunks. On it was a thick straw mattress and a brightly colored quilt with feather stuffed pillows. The only other furnishings were a small table and chair. The final room in the cabin had a closed door but she imagined it was either a pantry or another bedroom. The entire place was oddly warm and cozy. It felt like a home. The large house she grew up in had never felt that way. Sure it was full of expensive items and all the latest luxuries but it never felt intimate or comfortable.
