Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 70: Exploring Ranch Life
Chapter 70: Exploring Ranch LifeBefore leaving the hotel for the airport, Luke and Bella made a brief stop at the pharmacy next door to restock on a few essentials. Luke was paying for the toothpaste, shaving cream, and ibuprofen when Bella tossed a small box of tampons onto the counter. He looked at her questioningly. "It wouldn't do to be caught without," she shrugged.Bella had made arrangements for the trip that would take them out of the bustling city and into the vast grasslands in the shadows of the Andes. A small plane took them four hours south of Buenos Aires to the wide-open space that was Patagonia, center of the beef culture of Argentina. They were met at the small airfield by an older man with white hair and a large mustache. He spoke no English, and Bella's primitive Spanish skills were not very helpful. Still, they managed to communicate as much as necessary. He drove them another hour to Estancia Ranquilco, a remote family-owned working guest ranch in the hear
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 71: To India
Chapter 71: To IndiaArriving in Mumbai, they checked in to the Vaasna Suite at Hotel Le Sutra."Whoa! Now that's a ceiling!" Luke said. Bella glanced up to see a painting of intertwined lovers. She looked back at him, grinning.As they settled in, Bella noticed a brochure on the desk that offered some information regarding the name of the room."Hey, Luke, listen to this," she said, reading from the pamphlet, ''Vaasna' is 'Sensuality' in Sanskrit. The theory closest to the truth contends that all creation is the balance of opposites; light and dark, positive and negative, dynamic and kinetic. All these opposites can be best typified as male and female. It is the principle of duality which presides over all these energies. The creation sustaining equilibrium of these opposing forces serves two purposes, the procreative and the creative. It is a state of pure awareness and awakening of the conciseness from ignorance, confusion and self. It is a fusion of 'I' and 'You' into 'We' and u
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 72: Celebration
Chapter 72: CelebrationThe next morning, Luke and Bella set out for the home of Rahul and Divya Patel. A cousin of Rahul worked for the network in New York and had made arrangements for them to meet the family. The Patels had graciously invited them to their home to celebrate Anant Chaturdashi, the last day of Ganesha Chaturthi. Bella was dressed in a bright purple saree with gold stenciling. She smiled brightly at Luke. "How are you doing, Cowboy?" she asked.He smiled back. "I'm doing just fine, m'lady. I was thinking about last night."She, too, was recalling the events of the previous night. They had made love for hours, starting in the bedroom, moving to the shower, and then back to the bedroom, finally, with Bella tied to the bed in just the right way. Exhausted, they'd collapsed long after midnight and slept soundly.She smiled a slow lazy smile. "That was not too shabby," she replied thoughtfully.Upon arriving at the address, Luke began to shoot as the family greete
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 73: Traveling On
Chapter 73: Traveling OnThe next morning, they flew to Tokyo. Bella reflected once again on how they had become a well-oiled television production machine. She knew the angles Luke preferred, he knew her timing and pace. They had found their routine–arrive in a new city, map out their stories, do the tasks required to make the stories happen, and be open to the serendipitous.For the most part, the nights were their own. Bella wondered if there was a better situation in which to fall in love. She and Luke were being paid to travel the world, every morning waking up in some exotic location, some luxury hotel suite. She fretted vaguely whether their love would survive a more mundane life, a suburban home with trash day, grocery shopping, picking up dry cleaning…Luke had once mentioned that he wanted a dog. She smiled fondly. Or maybe they could live in the city. New York might be where they could both work. Not that there had been any discussion of living arrangements off the
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 74: Enjoying Spain
Chapter 74: Enjoying SpainThe next day, Luke and Bella flew to Madrid. T-Nathan would join them there three days later. Seizing the opportunity for a mini-vacation, they made and paid for their own arrangements, and they spent three days simply enjoying the city. They visited art galleries, relaxed over coffee and people-watched, and relished in each other.They awoke the morning of the fourth day, sunlight pouring into the room from the floor to ceiling window overlooking the courtyard of the hotel. Bella cuddled up to Luke and kissed his neck gently. "Good morning, Cowboy," she said."Good morning to you, beautiful," he replied, yawning. He launched into David Lee Roth's Just a Gigolo. Bella giggled appreciatively. Lately, Luke had begun to greet her with a different song every morning and she loved it."Guess we'd better get moving," she said."Confession," he said, eying her seriously. "I've gotten used to having you to myself. I don't think I'm going to like sharing y
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 75: T-Nathan Falls Hard
Chapter 75: T-Nathan Falls Hard"You are getting this, right?" Bella asked Luke."Way ahead of you, m'lady," Luke answered, training his lens on Nathan and his new friend. They were dusting themselves off and chatting amiably.Just then Nathan looked toward them and realized that not only was Luke shooting video, he was still wired for audio. The young woman followed Nathan's gaze, confusion showing on her face.Bella strode toward the pair, hand extended. "I'm Bella Grant," she said, smiling her best television host smile. "I see you've met Nathan. We're shooting a travel show about the Camino."The young woman slowly reached out for Bella's hand and looked at Nathan, noticing for the first time the tiny mic on his shirt. "I'm, um, Morgan Reilly. Travel show? Is this going to be on tv?" she asked.Bella shook her head. "Only if we have your permission. Can we buy you a coffee or something?"Bella grabbed a place for them to sit while Luke continued filming. Nathan helped Mo
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 76: Taking It Easy
Chapter 76: Taking It EasyEarly the next morning, Bella, Luke, and Nathan met up with Morgan at the café. Nathan had a backpack with a few essentials plus the GoPro camera Bella had given him. Luke filmed as the trio discussed plans for meeting up the following evening. They said their goodbyes and Bella hugged Nathan before sending him and Morgan on their way.She and Luke stood watching as the two joined the other hikers who were setting off for the day. Bella turned to the camera. "Now we'll find more adventure here on the Camino. And cut."Luke put down the camera. "Well, now what, m'lady?" he asked her."I'm not sure," she answered. "Truthfully, I'm not feeling that great. My stomach's a little queasy, like I ate something I shouldn't have."He looked at her with concern. "Maybe we take it easy today?"She shook her head. "Oh, I'll be alright. I'll find some tea or something. Let's see if we can talk to the owners of the hostel down the street."They went to the inn
Dream Dominant Collection Chapter 77: The Question of Christmas Plans
Chapter 77: The Question of Christmas PlansBella woke up smiling, remembering their time together the night before. It seemed like it had been such a long time since they'd…Well, they were always making love, but how long since they'd taken their time, used the things they'd collected, the cuffs, the blindfold…God, she loved not knowing what he was going to do, where he was going to touch her, and with what.Luke opened his eyes and smiled back at her. "Good morning, m'lady. Penny for your thoughts," he said."You know what I'm thinking," she replied, arching her eyebrow mischievously."I suppose I do," he grinned. Kissing her deeply, he pulled her to him.She rested her head on his chest. "Let's just stay like this," she said, stroking his chest lightly."Okay with me, baby girl. I'm sure Nathan won't complain about another night with his girl," Luke mused.Bella sighed. "We have to meet them today. We can't put it off another day. But," she moved her hand lower, "we don't a

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
