Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 271: Out of the Line of Fire
Chapter 271: Out of the Line of FireJackie leaned back in her beach chair and dug a bare toe in the sand as she watched Grant and Emma squealing at the water's edge. Following breakfast at the Blue Moon Diner, she'd treated the kids to a trip to Spruce Beach. While they could swim back at Lake Miranda, they always thought Spruce Beach was the height of fun.From their booth in the diner's front window, she'd seen Ned Hart go past in his patrol car, followed closely by a huge black SUV. Jackie shuddered as she pictured Amy being led away in handcuffs. The children, of course, had been oblivious, diving into their funny-face pancakes with gusto. To them, they'd merely lucked out with a surprise outing.She couldn't imagine the arrest would take long. After all, they had to drive all the way to Toronto and catch a flight to California. And if she knew her brother, Blake would be right behind them.The whole thing was probably over by the time they'd finished breakfast, she figured
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 272: You Worry About a Lot of Things
Chapter 272: You Worry About a Lot of ThingsDinnertime arrived, and Scott still wasn't back. Jackie quickly made one of the kids' favorites and they ate together at the kitchen table. After dinner, she let them watch a little television before she put them to bed.Just as she was returning downstairs, she heard tires on the gravel drive. The moon was just rising, and she stood on the porch and watched as Scott backed his red truck beside Blake's huge SUV. He waved at her as he got out of the truck. "Hi, Jackie."She smiled. "Hi. Did you get Blake off to California?"Scott nodded. "He should get there around midnight our time. Of course, it will only be about 9:00 there.""Are you hungry? I saved some dinner for you." They walked into the lodge."Sounds good." He held up a white paper bag. "I picked up a little dessert, though."In the kitchen, Scott poured himself a glass of tea and sat at the table as Jackie heated his plate. She set it in front of him and shrugged apo
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 273: Assessing the Damage
Chapter 273: Assessing the DamageScott sat on the lodge's front porch and watched as Jackie and the representative from the insurance company toured the burned-out section of the compound. Feet propped on the railing, he leaned back in the primitive wood rocker with his laptop open. Ostensibly, he was working on the website for Nielsen Outdoors School, but in reality, he was keeping an eye on the proceedings, gauging Jackie's reactions to the things the man told her. No, she wasn't his, not yet. Maybe not ever, he conceded. But that technicality didn't do anything to temper his protective nature. That was just who he was.He couldn't actually hear what was being said, but so far, things seemed to be going in a positive direction, judging by the nods and the body language. The pair chatted back and forth, the man tapping notes into his tablet and occasionally snapping pictures.Apparently finished, they returned to the front of the lodge. The man turned to shake Jackie's hand.
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 274: The Island Cabin
Chapter 274: The Island CabinA warm breeze ruffled Jackie's hair as she rode on the center seat of the skiff Scott expertly piloted from the lodge toward the small island. She tucked a few stray strands behind her ears and smiled back at him. The roar of the boat's outboard motor made conversation difficult, and with what they needed to discuss, she definitely didn't want to shout.What we need to discuss. Jackie's heart pounded. The very idea of even considering being submissive was absurd. Laughable, even. But there was no denying her growing attraction to the tall blond man.Trina's reaction to him had annoyed her. Besides, Trina was in her early twenties, barely an adult, even. Jackie had turned thirty-five on her last birthday, and she had a feeling Scott was older than that, although she didn't know for sure.The engine's roar backed down to a loud whine as Scott approached the island's small dock. He angled the motor so that the stern of the boat touched the wood pilin
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 275: No Sleep Tonight
Chapter 275: No Sleep TonightLate that night, Jackie lay in bed staring up at the ceiling. The bedside clock mocked her, its relentless red light blinking 12:47.I need to get to sleep. Everyone's showing up at 7:00 tomorrow, expecting to start getting the lodge ready to roll. She sighed deeply, knowing sleep was nowhere close. Her thoughts raced as she replayed the day in her mind, from the visit from the insurance representative, to the staff meeting, to her trip to the island with Scott.Scott. What had happened between them had been mind-blowing. He'd expertly brought her to orgasm with no intention of satisfying himself.What's that about? Her sex still tingled at the memory of his hand there.She thought of him down the hall, pictured him alone in his room. She wondered if he was still awake, propped up in bed, shirtless, with those reading glasses he'd been wearing the other night. God, those were sexy. She wondered what he'd been reading. She thought of the steamy r
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 276: Taking Care of Business
Chapter 276: Taking Care of BusinessJackie gazed down wonderingly at the flowing white dress she wore. She was outside at the lodge, and a light breeze rustled the gossamer skirt to reveal her feet, clad in battered hiking boots. Around her, people milled about, all dressed nicely in suits and formal dresses. It must be some kind of party, she thought. Across the clearing, she saw Scott, looking handsome in a black tuxedo, his long blond hair tucked into a knot at the back of his head. He was chatting and laughing with Trina, who for some reason was wearing a hot pink bikini. Deciding she wanted to go to them, Jackie tried to take a step but found that her feet were stuck. Instead, she tried to call Scott, but she had no voice. Bear looked up at her as he walked past. "You don't lose your power. You gain his," the dog said.From a distance, Jackie heard a tapping sound. "Jackie? Are you awake?"She woke with a start. Emma lay curled beside her, her face faintly flu
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 277: Surprise Contractors
Chapter 277: Surprise ContractorsAn hour later, Jackie felt they were making some headway upstairs. They'd managed to completely outfit five rooms, which would do for the weekend. But as long as they had the momentum, she wanted to keep going.Scott and Sean had just taken a load of broken furniture out to the trash when Scott called up the stairs. "Hey, Jackie?"She came to the head of the stairs. "Yeah?"Scott nodded over his right shoulder. "Some people are here to see you. Some contractors?"Jackie frowned. "Contractors?" Dusting off her hands with a rag, she walked down the stairs. She hadn't contacted any contractors. The insurance guy had just been there the day before. She had no idea about a budget, so she couldn't imagine why anyone would stop by.Standing with Scott by the reception desk were three men and a woman. Jackie looked at Scott, then spoke to the visitors. "I'm Jackie Walker.""Ms. Walker," said the oldest of the group, "I'm Martin Grayson. This is J
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 278: Overwhelmed
Chapter 278: OverwhelmedAfter the contractors left with promises to return early the following morning, Scott followed Jackie to the office, where she sank heavily into the desk chair and stared blankly at the wall."Everything okay, Jackie?" He squatted down beside her.She nodded slowly. "It's just a little overwhelming.""You know you can lean on me, right?" He gazed at her intensely, willing her to accept his support.She focused on him, cupping his cheek with her hand. "Thanks," she said softly. Then she rolled her eyes. "But you have a lot on your plate, yourself. You have a business to get up and running, and the cabin to remodel, so…""I'm never too busy for you."Jackie breathed out sharply. "It would have been nice to know the contractors were coming, though."Scott gestured to the office phone, where a red light blinked insistently. "Do you suppose you have a voicemail message?"She looked at the phone. "Oh, for fuck's sake," she muttered, picking up the receiver

Chapter 328: Epilogue"Just one more push, you're doing great," the doctor said."How are you holding up, Dad?"Bleary-eyed, he nodded to the pink scrubs-clad nurse. 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
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 327: No Time Like the Present
Chapter 327: No Time Like the Present"You should go home and get some rest, Jackie."Without taking her eyes off Scott, asleep in his hospital bed, she reached for Blake's hand. "I can't. 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
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 326: Dream Versus Reality
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
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 325: Warrior Princess
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
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 324: From Bad to Worse
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
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 323: Who's Missing?
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
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 322: Everyone Shelter at the Lodge
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
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 321: Blizzard Warning
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
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 320: Winter Session
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
