Against the Cabin Wall

The fire had gone out and Quinn did not care.

She was thirty-seven. Her partner Ned was forty-three. They had rented the cabin for the quiet and then spent the drive telling each other they did not want quiet in bed. Hard. Against something. No speech once it started unless someone said the word. The word was red. Neither of them had used it in a year.

"Wall," she said. "Now. Don't be careful."

He shoved her back against the timber. Her jumper came off. His cock was already out. He spat on his fingers, rubbed her, and pushed in hard. Quinn swore. The wall took the knock. He fucked her with one hand on her hip and the other in her hair, short and mean, the way she had asked for in the car.

"Harder. I can take it."

He gave it. She came with her forehead on his shoulder, cunt gripping him. He pulled out, turned her, and fucked her from behind against the same wall until the picture frame rattled. She told him to come in her. He did, buried, a groan into her neck.

They stayed there. The fire was definitely out.

"Again before the kettle," she said.

"Red if you need it."

"I won't. That's why you can."

They did not wait for the kettle. Ned fucked Quinn again against the timber, her jumper still off, his cock already hard from the first time, and she came with her nails in his shoulder. He came on her stomach because she pulled him out and said there. They lit the fire badly and fucked on the rug in front of it, slower, then hard again when she said the quiet was over. She came twice. He came inside her. In the morning the wall had a scuff and her thighs were a mess and she bent over the table and told him the cabin was not for reading. He took her there, red unused, both of them laughing at the dead fire. The drive home was sore and smug. She booked the same cabin for a month out and texted him one word: wall.

The second night Quinn did not let the fire get a vote. She met Ned at the door in nothing and put her back to the timber before he had his coat off. He fucked her hard, hand in her hair, and she came with the frame rattling. He came in her. They did it on the rug, then the table, then the wall again because she said the wall was the honest part. Red stayed unused. In the morning she was sore and smug and bent over the sink and told him the kettle could wait. He took her there. The drive home was a grin. She booked three more nights and texted him the word wall like a booking reference. He replied with a time and no manners.

Quinn lit nothing on the third night. She wanted the dark and the timber and Ned's cock and the word unused. He fucked her against the wall until her legs shook, then on the rug, then bent over the table with her hair in his fist. She came three times. He came in her and on her back, as told. The scuff on the timber was a souvenir. The drive home was quiet in the good way. She put the cabin in the calendar like a rite. He packed fewer clothes. The fire remained optional. The wall did not.

They stopped packing books. Quinn wanted the wall and Ned's hands and the word in reserve. He fucked her in the dark, timber at her back, and she came loud enough for a forest that did not care. He came in her. On the rug she rode him and made him say the cabin was for this. He said it. The scuff grew. The calendar gained a monthly block. The drive was a bruise and a grin. She texted wall from the office on a Wednesday and he replied with a booking. The fire was never the point. The knock of the frame was.

The monthly block arrived. Quinn was on him before the bags were down, back to the timber, dress up, his cock in, the frame already rattling. She came. He came in her. They did the rug and the table and the wall again before they remembered food. Red was a rumour. The scuff was a diary. She laughed into his neck on the drive and said the cabin had ruined reading for her. He said good. The fire stayed unlit. The wall stayed busy. They slept sore and booked nothing else, because the timber was the whole itinerary.

They arrived in the dark and did not turn the lights on. Quinn's back hit the timber and Ned was in her before the bags were down. She came with the frame knocking. He came in her and stayed, then took her on the rug because she said the wall had had its first turn, not its last. Morning was the sink, then the table, then the wall again. Red unused. Scuff darker. Calendar blocked. She texted from the car, already sore, already booking. He drove one-handed. The forest did not get a review. The timber did.

She put her back to the timber one more time before they locked up. He fucked her hard, came in her, and kissed the scuff like a signature. The cabin was booked. The fire was not. The wall had won.
