Benedict Cumberbatch imagines

Six month anniversary (readerxBenedict)

      "Where are you taking me?" you asked trying not to peek out of the blindfold. He gently took your hand and pulled out of the car. You felt soft but slightly wet grass underneath your sandals. Suddenly a wet mouth grazed your cheek. Ben gently took the blindfold off revealing a large chestnut horse patiently standing next to you.

        "Meet Venus" Ben introduced her as he patted her side. Your face lit up with excitement.

        "She is beautiful" you breathed. Ben suddenly handed you the reins. You looked up in confusion.

       "She is all yours...well at least for today" Ben explained. He then whistled making another chestnut horse, who was grazing on the grass nearby, trot towards him.

        "And this is Neptune my horse for the day" he grinned. After getting you settled on top of the horse, he skillfully swung his leg over and pulled himself up. You then slowly started moving into the forest following the faded trail.

        "Never knew you were such a horse person" you said surprised at how much skill and confidence he had around the horses.

        "I wasn't but then I had a movie where I had to work with horses and so I learned a bit before deciding why not learn it all while I have the time and the reason? So here we are" he shrugged as he gestured at the forest and the horses. After an hour, you heard waves pounding against a cliff. You urged your horse to walk faster to the noise until you arrived at the tip of a cliff exposing a white sand beach with blue clear waves that broke down on the beach. You took a minute to absorb nature's beauty until a voice shook you out of your daze.

        "Gorgeous isn't it?" Ben asked as he slowly brought his horse next to yours. You nodded unable to describe what you were saw.

He chuckled at your reaction before nodding his head to a different direction. You took one last look at the beach before following him. He led you to a small house with a mini stable on the edge of the beach. He got off his horse and helped you get off of yours. You waited patiently outside as he tied them in the stable. By now, the insides of your legs were starting to hurt from all of that riding, but you ignored the pain and grabbed Ben's waiting hand and trailed behind him.

        "Paparazzi can't find us here so you can relax and enjoy the beach peacefully" he answered your one question knowing that you liked your privacy when it came to vacations.

        "All of this is just so beautiful. When did you have the time to find this place?" You blurted out as he entered the house still gripping your hand.

       "This is where my parents had their honeymoon and I wanted to take you somewhere special so when I asked them, they both suggested this place." he replied stopping in the hallway before showing around the house. You looked up with a smile as he leaned down and gave you a peck on the lips before showing the rooms.

        "Now the beach is all yours" he exclaimed when he finished showing you all of the rooms in the house.

        "Yeah but you do realize that I have nothing to wear" you replied, "and no I am not going skinny dipping" you added after seeing the look on Ben's face. He jokingly pouted.

        "Don't you think I already thought of that? Look inside the bedroom. I packed us some clothes but I got someone to buy you some new clothes and swimsuits for you since I didn't want to buy something you wouldn't like" Ben explained. He entered the room with you to grab his clothes and left to change in the bathroom. You quickly picked out a hot pink top with a matching bottom. You slipped on a white pair of shorts over your swimsuit and a large hat to cover your face knowing that Ben would warn you of skin cancer or something.
