Chapter 311: Pre-Wedding Jitters

Chapter 311: Pre-Wedding JittersWhile Blake chose a bunk and settled his things, Scott built a fire in front of the cabin. By the time Blake came back outside, bright orange and yellow flames danced in the stone fire pit, warming the cool of the fall evening.Scott watched him sink into an Adirondack chair opposite him and heave a deep sigh. He poured bourbon into an enamel mug and offered it to Blake, who gratefully accepted it. Then he poured some for himself."How are you holding up?" Scott asked. He'd known Blake for years, and he sensed the tension in the younger man."Oh, I'm great, you know?" Blake sipped his bourbon and leaned back in his chair. "Tomorrow, I'm marrying the woman I love."Scott nodded. "Your very own baby girl. Who would have believed it?""Right? I mean, one day I'm doing my thing, working here at the lodge, and the next day, movie star Shasta Pyke is kneeling at my feet, agreeing to be mine. It's crazy." He glanced at Scott. "Not that the celebrit

Chapter 312: The Big Day

Chapter 312: The Big DayOne last time, Jackie checked her hair and makeup in the mirror. She and Amy had slept late and had been awakened by the squeals of Emma and Grant when the elder Walkers had brought them home mid-morning. After spending the remainder of the morning relaxing at the house, they'd all made the pilgrimage to the lodge, where they'd joined Trina in adding the last few touches to the reception set-up. Jackie had finished decorating the cake and returned it to the cooler.Jim and Grant, already dressed for the wedding, had headed over to the island to hang out with Blake and Scott until it was time for the ceremony. Eve and Sam had arrived, and Eve had busied herself setting up a delicious spread of finger foods, none of which appeared to be bat skewers, Jackie had grinned to herself.Now, she and Amy were upstairs in the lodge, having commandeered one of the guest rooms for a dressing room. While everyone waited downstairs, Jackie had gotten dressed in her shor

Chapter 313: Engaged

Chapter 313: EngagedBack in their new house, Jackie opened the door to the bedroom to find a fire in the fireplace. Red rose petals littered the floor and the bed, and an entire bouquet sat on the nightstand alongside a bottle of wine chilling in an ice bucket.She turned to Scott. "How did you… When…"He just winked at her. "I have my ways." He crossed the room, loosening his black silk tie and sliding it off. "It's a good thing you said, yes, though. I'd have had to rush over here like a crazy person to clean all this up."Jackie laughed lightly. "Were you worried?""Nah," he grinned. "I was pretty sure you're into me.""Did you really talk to the kids?"He nodded solemnly. "I did. This impacts them, and I wanted to make sure they know I intend to make a commitment to them, too. That was after I talked to your mom and dad, of course. And Blake.""Everybody knew?" Jackie grimaced. "I hate to think we stole Blake and Amy's thunder. I mean, it was their day.""Have you

Chapter 314: I'm Going to Be an Aunt

Chapter 314: I'm Going to Be an AuntLife at the new and improved Lake Miranda Lodge settled into a routine. Scott's early sessions were highly successful, generating positive reviews that helped fill his schedule for the foreseeable future. Walker's on the Lake opened its doors to the public the weekend after the wedding. As Jackie had hoped, locals joined lodge guests for the grand opening, and word spread throughout the surrounding area that there was a new date-night destination.With Trina's expertise, the lodge was also enjoying record bookings. With a crack team in place, Jackie found it easier than she thought to release much of the day-to-day duties.In the mornings, after sending Emma and Grant off to school, she headed to the lodge office to meet with Trina and the staff. If Scott's guests were arriving that day, she managed the Nielsen Outdoors desk. Otherwise, she spent the remainder of the day in her home office overlooking the lake, where she began to make headway

Chapter 315: Look Who Showed Up

Chapter 315: Look Who Showed UpAs Jackie had hoped, after Amy's television interview aired, reservation requests were up at the lodge. But also up were the number of lookie-loos who wandered to Lake Miranda without plans of staying, just hoping to catch a glimpse of Shasta Pyke. Jackie had even intercepted a pair of tourists with cameras attempting to climb over the locked gate that separated Blake and Amy's house from the rest of the property. At that point, she'd stopped trying to be nice about it, lambasting them with an expletive-laced discourse on the meaning of the 'Private Property' designation. With Blake and Amy having returned to California to finalize the purchase of a beach home, Jackie discussed with Scott the idea of installing security cameras around the property and possibly even a guard gate at the entrance.Late one morning, after she finished looking over business with Trina, Jackie stopped by Scott's new office across from hers on the first floor of the lodge

Chapter 316: His Princess

Chapter 316: His PrincessJackie shivered in anticipation as she gently tugged on the black Velcro cuffs that restrained her wrists and ankles to the four posts of the bed in the play cabin. After Scott had bound her, naked and spread eagle, he'd headed outside to bring in more firewood on the cold early December morning.Scott had a couple days' break in his schedule, and he and Jackie had headed to the cabin as soon as Grant and Emma left for school, planning to spend the entire day enjoying each other.The cabin door opened, admitting a swirling gust of cold air along with a dusting of snow, raising goosebumps over Jackie's body, her nipples tightening into sharp peaks. Scott came in carrying an armload of wood.He leered at her appreciatively. "Such a beautiful sight. My Princess all tied up and ready to be used for my pleasure."At his words, a renewed waved of desire washed over her and she felt a rush of moisture at her core. He knelt beside the fireplace, adding a log to

Chapter 317: Christmas at Lake Miranda

Chapter 317: Christmas at Lake MirandaWhen Blake and Amy returned to Lake Miranda the week before Christmas, snow blanketed the compound. After the lake froze solid, and Scott's students either hiked to the island or were shuttled by snowmobile. His last session before the holidays ended just before Blake and Amy came home, but the lodge had guests scheduled throughout Christmas and New Year's. Trina and the restaurant staff came up with a festive holiday menu, and Walker's on the Lake was completely booked for both holidays. When Jackie called her parents to ask about their holiday plans, she was surprised to find out that the elder Walkers had reservations for a Christmas cruise to the Caribbean. "Your father just couldn't stand the thought of all that snow," Ann laughed. "You all have a wonderful holiday!"Blake and Amy agreed to spend Christmas at Jackie and Scott's house, the better to enjoy the kids' excitement on Christmas morning. The day after they returned, Scott an

Chapter 318: Leaving Toronto For Good

Chapter 318: Leaving Toronto For GoodScott set down the cardboard box he'd been carrying and took the one from Jackie's hands. It was the last one, the last of his things from the studio apartment in Toronto. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jackie shiver. Inside the building's parking garage, the wind was blocked, but it was still cold.A few days after Christmas, Blake and Amy volunteered to keep an eye on Grant and Emma while Scott took Jackie to the city for New Year's Eve, which also happened to be his birthday. Ready to let go of his apartment, it was the perfect time to retrieve the few things he had there worth keeping.Odd as it seemed to him, given the fact that he was ending his lease, he was excited to show her the place he'd considered home for the past ten years. He planned on showing her some of his favorite haunts, too, even driving past the BDSM club on their way to the apartment."They'll have a big masked ball for New Year's Eve," he'd commented, thinking o

Chapter 319: Emergency Trip Back to the Lodge

Chapter 319: Emergency Trip Back to the LodgeImpatiently, Jackie paced the length of the lodge's front porch. A pair of guests who were staying in one of the cabins hurried past, bundled against the biting cold of early March. Jackie forced a cheerful smile as she greeted them, but her thoughts were on the middle-of-the-night conversation she'd had with Blake three days earlier."Amy started having contractions, so I rushed her to the hospital.""But it's too early, isn't it? How far along is she?""Thirty-three weeks," he answered miserably. "They gave her medication to stop the contractions, but they want to keep her for a while to make sure everything's okay."Even more than two thousand miles away, she heard his anguish. "Jackie, I'm terrified I'm going to lose her. Lose them both. It's so out of my fucking control!"Jackie's heart clenched, remembering when Blake had lost his college girlfriend to a senseless act of violence so many years earlier. She gripped her phone ti

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
