Chapter 125: A Dark and Stormy Night

A huge clap of thunder nearly shook Shasta from her bed. She had no idea how long she'd been asleep. She had read in bed for a while before finally switching off the lantern. The weather had been calm then.

Now, a tempest was unleashing all its apocalyptic fury on her little island. She could hear rain pounding the roof in torrents. Wind howled through the trees and all around the cabin, adding to the cacophony of sounds, and she was blinded by a brilliant flash of lightning, only to be shaken by the immediate report of its corresponding thunder.

She hunkered down in the middle of the bed, pulling the covers up to her eyes. Shasta had never liked storms. She could recall many times on location, when she'd been locked in her own hotel room for the night, with no adults to comfort her when she was afraid of storms, or shadows, or things that went bump in the night. On the rare occasions she'd sought out someone, she'd been told that she needed

    Chapter 126: The DominantBy the time the kitchen timer went off, she'd finally stopped shaking. Shasta pulled the chain, dislodging the rubber plug and the water began to drain from the tub. She used the towel to dry herself and quickly slipped into the flannel shirt Blake had left for her. It was miles too big and deliciously soft as she wrapped it around her bare flesh. In the bathroom mirror, her eyes were haunted. She had no idea of the time, and she was tired. He'd told her to sit on the bed and wait for him.Carefully, she picked up the oil lamp and carried it into the bedroom. The full-sized bed was neatly made with a steel-grey duvet. She'd half-expected a camouflage bedspread for the rugged mountain man.The thought would have amused her if she hadn't been so upset. Blake was angry with her, really angry. He'd called her Shasta, and that had broken her heart. She'd thought that they had a special understanding between them, a budding friendship that was possibly ro

    Chapter 127: BaconAll was quiet when Blake awoke the following morning. The storm had subsided, and sunlight streamed in through the crack in his bedroom drapes. He was lying on his right side, Shasta curled with her back against him, his left arm protectively thrown over her. He pressed a gentle kiss to the top of her head and lingered, breathing in the aroma of spiced jasmine. She sighed softly in her sleep. None of which did anything to assuage the raging hard-on with which he greeted the morning.Carefully, he slid out of bed. Shasta stirred slightly but didn't awaken. Blake dressed quietly and left the bedroom, closing the door behind him. Bear was happy to see him and even happier to go out for a walk.As the huge black dog enjoyed his morning constitutional, Blake considered the things that needed to happen that day. He stared across the water towards the island but couldn't see anything amiss from his vantage point. The window must have broken. The sliver of glass t

    Chapter 128: DecisionsBear stood in the bow of the boat, wagging his tail, as Blake made the crossing from the mainland to the island. He'd brought with him a toolbox, extra glass panes, and a piece of plywood. He wondered if Shasta was still watching from the cabin's deck, but he didn't turn around to see. It had been a long time since he'd wanted something so badly, and the thought that it might not work out gave him a literal pain in his gut.But he believed he was doing the right thing. He'd give her some information to think about, give her space to make her own decision. Having held her throughout the night, he knew he never wanted to be alone in his bed again. But it would have to be up to her. He couldn't compromise on who he was. The other side of this coin was the fact that Shasta was only here temporarily.He shook his head miserably. Even if everything worked out the way he wanted, in the end she was still leaving. What he wouldn't give to talk to Scott right now

    Chapter 129: Expert AdviceBack on the mainland, Blake disposed of the ruined mattress, put away his tools and supplies, and loaded Shasta's belongings onto his cart, which he pulled to the front of the lodge. No sense in taking them any further until he knew what she'd decided.Not ready to face her just yet, he entered the big house and went to the kitchen to check the refrigerator. Bear curled up in his favorite spot in the den and was sound asleep in seconds. Blake was hungry, but it was nearly 5:00. Maybe just a quick snack to hold me over until dinner. He eyed a huge steak he'd purchased the day before. Looks like steak tonight.He'd just finished whipping up a PB&J when Jackie's home phone rang. "Hello?""Baby brother! I figured I'd just leave a message. How's everything going?" Jackie sounded more relaxed than he'd heard her in a long while."Hey, sis, things are fine here. How's Florida?""Fan-tabulous! A beach vacation is just what I needed. How are things with o

    Chapter 130: Daddies and LittlesShasta stared at the radio for a moment. Her heart pounded. Ten minutes. Not very long to get ready. But then, she was wearing the only clothes she had, the ones borrowed from Blake's sister. There was no makeup or any way to style her hair. She didn't even have shoes. She went to Blake's bedroom and searched his closet. His huge flip flops were the only things that would remotely stay on her feet.She checked her image in the bathroom mirror one last time and set out for the main lodge, the enormous brown leather sandals slapping noisily against the bottoms of her feet as she trudged along. She hesitated at the front door, then opened it. "Hello?""Come on back, Amy. We're in the kitchen."Shasta followed the sound of his voice to the private family kitchen in the back of the house. While food might be prepared there for lodge guests, it was normally for family only. At the sound of her footfalls, Blake looked up from slicing mushrooms and

    Chapter 131: Knee TimeOn tremulous legs, Shasta made her way into the living room. The ticking of the clock on the mantle echoed like the report of gunfire in the stillness of the cabin. Blake was nowhere to be seen. Still damp from her shower, she felt chilled by the evening air. Goosebumps covered her bare flesh, and her nipples were tight points, but whether that was from the cool evening or from nerves, she couldn't say.Nervously, she swiped her palms against her bare thighs and lowered herself to her knees beside Blake's leather chair. She heard her own breath hitch as she closed her eyes and tried to relax.At that moment, the door opened and closed behind her. It took every ounce of self-control to keep from looking up. Blake's footfalls were solid while Bear's paws clicked across the kitchen floor, and she heard Blake murmur something to the dog. Then Blake's footsteps returned and stopped behind her. Shasta strained to hear what he might be doing, breathing as quiet

    Chapter 132: Shasta's Trip to TownThe first thing Shasta was aware of as consciousness seeped in, chasing away the cobwebs of sleep, was Blake's warm body, curled around hers. His muscular left arm was thrown carelessly over her, and she snuggled back into him. As she did, she felt his cock, at full morning salute, pressing against her ass cheek. Smiling to herself, she cuddled closer to him, rubbing herself against him.The chuckle rumbled up from his chest. "Having a case of wiggle-bottom, kitten?" He pulled her to himself and lightly nibbled her neck."I don't know what you're talking about," she giggled, pressing against his cock again."I think you know exactly what I'm talking about," he growled, suddenly pulling her beneath him and pinning her arms over her head."Good morning, Daddy," she smiled.He grinned down at her. "Good morning, kitten. Did you sleep well?"Shasta thought for a moment. She'd had the best night's sleep she'd had in months, since… She realized tha

    Chapter 133: Kink InkThey finished their lunch and paid the tab, heading out into the bright sunlight. Blake regarded her curiously. "I want to take you one more place before we head home."Rather than heading to the car, he led her in the opposite direction to the door of Kink Ink. "Are we getting a tattoo?" she wondered."Not today, but I'm not ruling it out for later. I want you to meet someone." He held open the door for her.The shop was empty when they walked in, bell over the door tinkling to announce their presence. Shasta wandered over to study the tattoo samples on the wall, poring over the vast array of colors and shapes. Blake settled, leaning against the glass case. They heard a female voice from behind the black curtain separating the front space from the back. "Coming!"The curtain flipped open, and a disparate couple emerged, petite goth princess and mountainous First Nation god, both with jet black hair and covered with tattoos of all shapes, sizes, and color

He was ready for this long night to be over.He felt her starting to squeeze his hand again. "You've got this, babe," he murmured, kissing her forehead.Eyes closed and teeth clenched, she bore down, releasing a grunting squeal with the effort."Stop! There we are, Mom. The head is out. Now don't push, just breathe for a moment."Still holding her hand, he leaned over to see the back of the baby's head. His heart was in his throat and tears streamed down his face."Now this is it. On the next contraction, go ahead and push."He turned back to her. Eyes wide, she panted, gripping his hand for dear life."Oh, God, here it comes," she cried."You're doing great, I'm so proud of you," he murmured, turning to watch as their child was born.Fifteen minutes later, he strode down the hospital corridor to the family waiting

I need to be here when he wakes up.""You're sure?"She nodded, then looked to her brother. "Can you take care of the kids? I hate to impose, but…""No worries, Jackie. Now that the storm's over, we'll take them back to our house. Amy's more comfortable there, anyway. We'll have a sleepover party."Jackie sighed. "I know they're ready to be back in their own beds. But I'll be home tomorrow, for sure, at least overnight.""Okay, sis." He kissed Jackie on the cheek. "Keep us posted."In the quiet of the hospital room, Jackie pulled a chair beside Scott's bed. As soon as they'd arrived back at the lodge, Blake and some of the others had carried Scott to the battered Suburban, laying him on the back seat.At Amy's insistence, Blake had driven Jackie and Scott to town. By the time they reache

"Where were you?" she asked.Scott shrugged. "I don't know.""Well, you're back now. That's what counts." She took his hand and led him to a bed in the middle of a sun-drenched field full of flowers. The bed's sheer white canopy billowed in the breeze. Kissing his hand, she released it, reaching up to slide first one, then the other spaghetti strap of her filmy white dress, allowing it to slide down her body and pool at her bare feet. His gaze slid from her sapphire eyes to her succulent lips. Then it traveled over the firm globes of her breasts with their pert pink nipples, to the flair of her hips, to the junction between her thighs where tight black curls were neatly trimmed. When he met her eyes again, she smiled knowingly and sank to her knees, bowing her head and resting her hands palm

You can't leave Amy. I'd never even ask. And if Ned Hart won't go out there, I have no other choice." Her voice was deadly calm.She grabbed her grey coat, then put it back on its hook, heading into the dining room. Blake followed. "Jackie, seriously, I don't want you going out there." He grabbed her hand, stopping her. "Scott wouldn't want you going out there.""He can tell me that when I find him. Can I borrow Amy's pink parka? It's brighter than mine, easier to see."Blake exhaled sharply, his tone resigned. "I've known you long enough to know that once you've set your mind on something, that's it. At least let me put together a pack for you."While Blake scavenged from the survival students, Jackie put on Amy's parka and spoke to Grant and Emma. "I'm going out to let Scott know

    Chapter 324: From Bad to WorseAway from the wide-open expanse of the lake, the trees blocked a certain amount of the wind, but plenty of snow filtered down. Try as he might, Scott couldn't make out any tracks left by Pierce. He continued up the trail, slipping and sliding as he made his way up a steep ridge. The designated campsite was the clearing at the top, but once he arrived, the area was empty. Even the snow was thin, having been blown into drifts against the bases of the trees surrounding the clearing. Where are you, you little shit? Scott turned in a circle, considering the most likely way Pierce might have gone. The clearing was exposed. He'd have wanted to find a spot that afforded more shelter. Which meant he would have gone lower. But in which direction?Rolling the dice, Scott headed west, where the clearing dropped off in a bluff about thirty meters above a ravine created by a now-frozen creek. He peered down into the gully, willing Pierce not to be there at

    Chapter 323: Who's Missing?An hour later, Scott sipped his coffee and gazed out over the room. A handful of his campers had volunteered to help with lunch, and they'd all enjoyed potato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Now, a group of guests was working on chili for dinner.Out of habit, he mentally counted his group. Tom and Patty Payton, who'd headed up lunch, were playing cards with Justin Sapp and Paula Martinez. Dan Spinelli was talking fishing with the father and sons from Cherub Lake. Not finding Pierce, Adams, or Bennet, he frowned slightly. A trip to the restaurant kitchen revealed Brian Bennett and Keely Adams working on cornbread to go with the chili.That leaves one. Scott returned to the dining room. Jackie was across the room checking on Amy. He cruised by the table where Dan was swapping fish stories. "Sorry to interrupt, but have you seen Pierce?"The younger man frowned. "Not since we ate. But you know, now that you mention it, his backpack is gone." H

    Chapter 322: Everyone Shelter at the LodgeAs Jackie and the children hiked toward the main lodge, they heard the snowmobile returning from the island. Jackie sent Emma and Grant ahead with their backpacks, Max galumphing along behind them, while she waited for Scott to secure the snowmobile."How'd it go?"Scott's lips were a grim line. "About how you'd expect. There's nothing we can do about it with the storm coming. Everybody understood, really. Except for Pierce. He's such an asswipe."Jackie's eyes widened but her lips curled impishly. "Oh my, Sire. Language."He popped her ass lightly. "And now my Princess requests a spanking. My day is complete."They both laughed as the entered the lodge. Trina had a huge fire going in the dining room's fireplace, and she'd already been to the cabins to invite guests to gather in the main lodge, where there would be food and heat."Hi, guys," she greeted Jackie and Scott. "I called the crew to let them know to stay home today. Then

    Chapter 321: Blizzard WarningFrowning, Scott watched the latest weather report on the early morning local news, his mouth set in a grim line. Beside him, Jackie stirred. "What is it?" she murmured."It's alright," he answered softly. "Go back to sleep. It's not even 5:00 yet."She sniffed loudly and yawned. "I'm awake now. What's the matter?" She pushed up on an elbow and rested her head against his shoulder.He shook his head derisively. "The blizzard. They're predicting the storm to hit by this afternoon.""I thought it was supposed to skirt us to the south.""I hoped it would. But now we're under a blizzard warning." He kissed her temple and slid out of bed."What are you going to do?"He stepped into a pair of fleece-lined jeans and shrugged into a grey thermal Henley. "I'm heading to the island to let the campers know. Obviously, we're postponing the solo outings. I'll offer them the chance to return for free to finish their second week of this session." He glanced

At the bunkhouse cabin, he'd just welcomed Tom and Patty Payton, the only married couple he'd had thus far in his wilderness school.Having checked in with Jackie in the reception area of the lodge, the pair had made their way on foot across the ice to the island where they joined fellow survival students Justin Sapp, a stocky young man with an infectious sense of humor, and Paula Martinez, an attractive thirty-something Latina who wrote a Spanish-language adventure blog.Everyone in this session had broad outdoor survival experience, including the Paytons, who had once spent a year in the Amazon cataloging wildlife. They'd told Scott they were excited to learn winter survival skills in the wilderness of Ontario.That leaves four more clients yet to arrive, Scott mused as he pulled up the slope to park beneath the lodg
