Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 39: That Went Badly
Chapter 39: That Went BadlyBella went to the hotel bar, not knowing where else to go. She found a tiny table in the far corner and ordered a glass of wine. What the fuck?! she thought. Dominant? Submissive? She laughed derisively. Bella Grant, submissive? Please! How could she have gotten in over her head so fast? She was supposed to be working. She should never have slept with him.You've always been stupid, gloated Reason in her father's harsh voice. Now look what you've gotten yourself into.What's the big fat hairy deal? demanded her cheeky self. Try something new, for fuck's sake!She sipped her wine and thought back on conversations she and Luke had had, the things they'd talked about. There was that time when he'd asked if she ever thought about letting go of control. He hadn't lied to her, not exactly. But this? What did you even call it?She pictured Luke, the way his eyes sparkled when he laughed, the way he smiled indulgently at her when she overcompensated
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 40: Information to Ponder
Chapter 40: Information to PonderBella's breath caught in her chest. She couldn't think. This man, with his rugged good looks, strong arms, irresistible smile, the man she knew she had fallen in love with, just said that he was in love with her. But…but what? She felt so torn.She gazed into his eyes and knew that he was being unfailingly honest. And she knew that she trusted him beyond anyone she had ever known. She felt the first tear roll down her face and reached up to wipe it."Oh, baby girl," Luke murmured, and he took her in his arms, cradling her in his lap. "What's wrong?"She took a breath and gathered herself. "I just…I don't know what to think.""Ask me anything. I'll be completely open with you, tell you anything you want to know."Bella moved off his lap and sat on the coffee table so she could face him. "This Dominant business—are all your relationships that way?""No, not all. But my marriage was. My significant relationships have been. But not all," he an
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 41: More Than Vanilla, Maybe
Chapter 41: More Than Vanilla, Maybe"Well, well, m'lady, good morning to you!" Luke smiled. Bella smiled back at him, blinking away tears. "Are you still crying?" he asked, concerned.She sniffed. "Oh, I'm great. I loved your song," she told him.He smiled again. "I thought you might. Are you hungry? Breakfast should be here soon. I didn't want to wake you, but I'm glad you're up."When their food arrived, they sat at the table nibbling on fresh sesame seeded koulouri with graviera cheese, Greek yogurt with Greek thyme honey, and hot herbal tea. Bella ate quietly, nonplussed that she'd blurted out those three shocking words."I, um, didn't mean to be forward," she began. "I was caught up in my emotions.""Are you saying you don't love me?" Luke asked."God, no!" Bella replied. "I just…I don't mean to put you on the spot. 'I love you' is different from 'I'm in love with you' and, well, not that I don't mean it, I just don't want you to think that I'm expecting for you to sa
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 42: Decision Made
Chapter 42: Decision MadeAt the port, Luke quickly bargained a reasonable price for the afternoon with a local charter captain. He also made arrangements for the next day, when they would go diving on one of the popular local reefs. He stood looking over the water, cigar in hand, and wondered how Bella was doing. He was reasonably certain she could use a little time to herself to process the events of the last day.As if on cue, his phone rang. "Howdy, m'lady, how's it going? Do we have a shoot this afternoon?" he asked."We do," she confirmed. "Can we get to Delos by 1:00?"Luke checked his watch. "We can if you meet me here at the port. Want to take a cab?"Bella met up with Luke at the pier where the Argyra was docked. The mid-sized dive boat would take them the two miles to the island of Delos where they were meeting Professor Thanos Alexopoulos for a tour of the archaeological sites there. Luke introduced Bella to Captain Filippo Kakos, who was instantly quite taken wit
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 43: And So It Begins
Chapter 43: And So It BeginsOn the cab ride from the port back to the hotel, he could sense her tension, and he had some of his own. Before they could even think about moving forward, there was something he had to do."We're going out for dinner," he announced as they arrived back in their suite. "But first, there's something I need to show you."He took her hand and led her to the couch where they sat. On the laptop, he cued up the footage of her from the Edinburgh airport. Softly, he said, "I shot this, and forgot about it, actually. But do you remember that night, the first night we made love? I came rushing back to the hotel?""When you acted like the hounds of hell were after you? I vaguely remember something like that," Bella answered with irony, aiming for confident and carefree but falling slightly short."I was afraid you'd see this and think I was some kind of perv. I wanted to be able to explain. But then you hadn't seen it, and we got sort of distracted, and…" He
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 44: Second Thoughts?
Chapter 44: Second Thoughts?Bella stared at herself in the bathroom mirror. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes bright.The sour voice of her father spoke up. What the hell are you doing? Are you really going to let this man tell you what to do? You are nothing but a stupid whore.Cheeky self weighed in. Shut up and mind your own business! We're going to have ourselves an adventure!Out loud she said, "Both of you fuck off! I'm calling the shots here."She locked herself in one of the stalls and removed her panties, feeling mortified when she realized that they were wet. She knew the conversation had aroused her. She was aware that her nipples announced the fact to the world. But there was nothing she could do. She wadded the panties as small as possible in her fist. Maybe I can hurry up and slip them into my purse when I get back to the table. Taking one last glance at herself in the mirror, she felt wanton and sexy and empowered. She gave herself a dark smile.Returning t
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 45: Kneel
Chapter 45: KneelLuke leaned in and whispered into her ear, "Now, baby girl, kneel."Bella did as she was told and knelt at his feet. She bowed her head and waited."No, lift your head. When you kneel I want to see your eyes." She raised her head and looked at him. "This is your ready position. When I tell you to get ready, you will kneel like this, sitting on your heels with your hands, palms up, resting on your thighs. You will be nude unless I tell you otherwise. Do you understand this?""Yes, Sir," Bella answered."While you wait for me, try to clear your mind. Try to relax and just be. Don't anticipate, don't worry, this is your time to let go of everything," he continued. "Do you understand this?""Yes, Sir," she whispered."Good girl," he murmured, gently stroking her hair. They stayed that way for several minutes, neither one speaking.He was waiting for her. It was subtle when it happened. She simply rested her head gently against his leg and let out a sigh, tens
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 46: A Lot to Talk About
Chapter 46: A Lot to Talk AboutShe stretched lazily and opened her eyes. They'd slept late, she was alarmed to see. They had an appointment with the dive boat at…what time? She knew she should feel stressed but just couldn't work it up. Images and impressions from last night were swirling around in her mind.She looked over at Luke and he smiled at her. "Good morning, Cowboy. How long have you been awake?" she asked, smiling back."Not long," he replied. "I was just enjoying the view."She reached to stroke his face and he took her hand, kissing her palm. "How are you feeling about last night?" he asked quietly.She smiled and flushed a little. "I feel really good about last night.""We need to talk about it, what went well, what didn't. You know, debrief," he said. "We can do that in a while. We should get ready for the day."Over breakfast they discussed their plans for diving today and possible locations for finishing filming the next day. "I'd really like to get over

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
