Chapter 180: Permission

Leaving Jessi's, he took himself back to his favorite watering hole on the inlet to have a beer and try to clear his head. He was joking with several of his friends, including his partner Alex, when his phone blipped.

The text was from Jessi. 'My task is completed, Sir.'

Judd had almost forgotten. He grinned as he tapped out a message.

'I need details, little one. How can I be sure that you did as you were told?'

He could picture Jessi's red face. She had probably hoped that her first message would be enough.

"I know that smile, bro," hooted Alex. "You've got a hottie after you."

It was Judd's turn to flush. "It's not like that. I just heard from Jessi. We worked on her yard today."

"Jessi? That redhead from the party call we had last week? She is hot, bro. You telling me you're not tapping that?"

Judd gave him a playful shove. "The woman's a recent widow, and a very nice lady."

"That just means she needs some, man." Alex laughed as Judd moved away

    Chapter 181: Intimate QuestionsIt was early afternoon the following day when Jessi's phone blipped to indicate a text message.'Hey there, little one. How is your day going?'Jessi smiled. She glanced down at the fabric swatches she'd been using to try to decide which tablecloths to order for next weekend's event. It was a fiftieth wedding anniversary. Who would have imagined there were so many varieties of gold?'I'm great. How are you?'Happy to put aside table linen decisions for a moment, she waited for Judd's reply.'I just spent the last couple of hours surfing, and I don't have to be at work for another few hours so I'm great. How's your bottom, little one?'Even in the privacy of her office, Jessi blushed. The truth was, her bottom was sore. Not that she minded. She'd been rather pleased when she checked herself in the mirror before she got dressed that morning and found that it was still red. There were even round bruises on each cheek from the wooden spoon.'It sti

    Chapter 182: The New NormalJessi and Judd found a rhythm over the next few weeks. Judd came to Jessi's house on whichever weekend day he had off, be it Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. If she was available, Jessi was happy to help with whatever the week's chore might be. They'd worked together on the back fence, the sprinkler system, and the gutters.She felt disappointed if she happened to be working when Judd came by. She found that she enjoyed the easy conversations they shared, the laughter at silly jokes, and she valued his companionship.And then there was knee time. She craved the chance to still her mind. Judd had begun to issue maintenance spankings about every two weeks. At first, he'd find some chore or assignment she'd neglected. But, as he'd told her, "I don't really need a reason. It just makes you feel better." And he'd winked.Occasionally, Judd would stay for dinner, or they'd go out together. Jessi wondered if he dated, but she never asked. She didn't really

    Chapter 183: Waffles and Family DramaIn the quiet of the morning, Jessi poured herself a cup of coffee and sipped carefully. The kids were still asleep, a fact that didn't surprise her in the least. Glancing at the clock on the stove, she figured she'd give them another hour or so before she tried to tempt them awake with the smell of homemade waffles.She heard the slam of a car door out front. That, combined with Buddy's beeline to the front door, let her know that Judd had arrived. Smiling to herself, she carried her coffee with her, opening the door to let Buddy tear across the lawn to greet his favorite human.Judd set down his toolbox and stooped to ruffle the puppy's ears, then stood, grinning broadly. "Good morning, Jessi!"She felt herself grinning back. "Hi, there. How are you this morning?""I'm great. Am I too early?" He frowned slightly."Not for me, you're not. The kids are all still asleep. Can I get you some coffee?"He nodded. "Coffee sounds great, actuall

    Chapter 184: A Young WidowTwo hours later, the pool pump restored to proper working condition, Judd carried his toolbox back to his pick-up parked on the street. Jessi followed along behind him.He set the battered red box in the bed of the truck and glanced back at the house. "How did it go?" His brown eyes were soft with concern.Feeling more emotional than she wanted to, Jessi crossed her arms and shrugged. "Oh, you know, it was okay." When she looked up at him, her eyes radiated pain."I'm so sorry, little one. And with your houseguests, I don't guess we'll get knee time in today."Jessi blinked back tears and swallowed hard, attempting to dislodge the lump in her throat."Could you use a hug, though?"She blinked again as a tear ran down her face, and she nodded vigorously.He smiled warmly. "Come here, then," he said, opening his arms, pulling her close beneath his chin, and lightly kissing the top of her head. He could feel the shuddering of her silent sobs. "I'm proud

    Chapter 185: Details"So, what do you think about Amanda?" Alex asked, shouting above the pounding music."She's nice," Judd replied noncommittally. "I'll say she's nice. Nice and stacked. When the girls get back from the bathroom, do you want me and Trish to head out so you can work your Judd Farris magic?" Alex grinned gleefully."No, no need to do that. Let's all hang out. Do you want to go someplace quieter?"Alex laughed. "Young folks and their crazy rock and roll bothering you, old man?""No, it's just…""Well, the fact that they didn't ditch us while we were in the bathroom is a good sign," Trish joked as she and Amanda returned from the ladies' room. "Where would I go, baby, you know I love you," Alex cooed. "Come on, let's show these two how it's done." He took Trish's hand and twirled her once, before leading her out to the dancefloor. Judd leaned closer to Amanda. "Would you like another beer?"She nodded. "Yeah, that would be great."Judd stood, nodding towa

  • Dream Dominant Collection   Chapter 186: Gary

    Chapter 186: GaryGary Wayne Gentry stood watching as firefighters fought to extinguish the blaze in Parson's Hardware on the main street of Baker City, Oregon. He was merely one in a crowd of lookie-loos that had gathered on the opposite side of the street, a guy so nondescript that no one would ever remark on the short, balding man with a slight paunch. No one would even notice him. Which used to bother Gary. Used to. But he'd learned that being unnoticeable could be an asset.He watched as the supervisor barked out orders to the firefighters on the ground. Hoses were deployed, plans were followed. Soon enough, thick black smoke turned white. Which meant the fire was out, there were merely a few hot spots that merited attention. He knew this because Gary had always wanted to be a firefighter. Or a cop. Or a soldier. Some damn thing with a uniform. He'd actually been in the Army for a short time. Until he'd been involved in an altercation with a fellow recruit. It ha

    Chapter 187: Be Careful"Come on, partner, I want to know." Alex and Judd were in the back of their rescue truck refilling supplies in their down time."Want to know what?" Judd studiously feigned interest in a drawer of cotton dressings."Who did you have to call so badly that you had to leave the lovely Amanda all by her lonesome?"Judd huffed slightly as he slid the drawer closed and looked back to Alex. "She wasn't all by her lonesome, she was with you and Trish. Jessi texted me, so I called just to make sure she was okay."Alex frowned slightly. "Jessi?" Understanding lit his face and he smiled. "That hot redhead from the birthday party?""Jessi. The event planner from the party.""So, what's the deal with the redhead?""There's no deal. We're friends, that's all."Alex laughed. "The smile on your face last night said 'more than friends,' homie. Besides, she's smoking. No wonder you weren't feeling it for Amanda. You should have told me."Judd shook his head. "I told

    Chapter 188: Comfortable FriendshipThe following weekend, with Jessi's kids having returned to their lives, she and Judd once again fell into the rhythm of working together, this time on painting the exterior doors including the garage door. When they were finished, doors returned to their original terracotta that mimicked the barrel tiles on the roof, Judd suggested they head to the inlet for burgers, something they did from time to time. Jessi happily agreed. Square Grouper had become one of her favorite places, although she couldn't see herself ever going there without Judd. But she loved the casual atmosphere of the place, loved to sit by the water with a cocktail and feel the tension from a busy week ebb away. If they were lucky, there would be live music on the stage.And it was the case, while she sat at the table at the edge of the seawall, and Judd strolled to the bar to order their dinner, a lone guitarist strummed Jimmy Buffett covers from the tiki stage. "Here you

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

    Chapter 326: Dream Versus RealityHe was staring up at an azure sky. A warm summer breeze caressed his face. He turned his head and Jackie smiled at him, her deep blue eyes sparkling. "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

    Chapter 325: Warrior Princess"Jacks, you can't go out there." Blake's face twisted with concern."He won't come back until he finds Pierce. But he won't find Pierce, because Pierce is here. 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

    Chapter 320: Winter SessionPulling the hood of his black parka lower over his head, Scott ducked behind the windscreen of his snowmobile and headed back to the lodge. 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
