A dumb GR question.

If mass bends space such to manifest gravity would this not suggest that if we drop two objects from as high as possible then the greater mass could be expected to accelerate faster than the one with less mass.

Mass bends space so the one with the greater mass should bend space more one could think???and so create greater gravity.
If GR allows objects of different mass to accelerate at the same rate irrespective of mass does this not contradict the main premise of GR?

Also if frame dragging is a fact will not such a premise be born out in the trajectory of the falling object?
Thank you
