Chapter 14 - In Our Dream
Jennah hung up the phone with a loud groan. It had been nice of Captain Wilds to call her with an update, even if it wasn’t the one she wanted to hear. They had a few leads on the warden, made three more arrests, and had spent the last week checking out contacts, which was all good. It was coming together. Dom was still in a safe house, and from what the captain implied, he wasn’t happy having to stay out of sight.
She sighed and watched out the window. It was snowing again, and she felt as heavy as the snowflakes looked. She had tried to connect with Dominic several times in the last week, but hadn’t been able to. She wasn’t sure why she couldn’t. The captain had said he had been exhausted and spent a few days resting more than anything, but now he was working the case with them. Did he have her blocked again? She was wishing she had asked him more questions on this thing that they were able to do. It wasn’t as if

Dom paced around the small room. It was larger than his cell at Wyestate, but it still felt like a prison to him. Sighing, he opened the door and walked out to the kitchen. Brody was sitting at the table reading a newspaper. He looked up at him with a curious expression on his face. “I can’t sleep,” Dom grunted as he opened the fridge. There was nothing but a few sodas and water. Why couldn’t he have beer? It’s not like he was going to be drinking and driving. Not when he wasn’t allowed outside the walls of this tiny, crappy house. Brody leaned back in his chair. “Have you even tried to sleep tonight? You do know they’re paying us to sit here all night, so you can sleep without worrying.” Dom closed the fridge, maybe a little harder than necessary and leaned back against the counter. Crossing his arms, he studied the man he’d worked with many times before. “I know how it works. I’m
Dreams Chapter 16 - In Our Dream
It was a perfect Christmas Eve. The night was bright and clear and the snow sparkled where ever light hit it. Jennah parked her car in her driveway and got out to look around. Turning, she eyed the door to her apartment and sighed. She didn’t want to go sit in there alone and think of what it would be like to share this night with family and children. Locking the car, she dropped the keys into her pocket and turned toward the sidewalk. She stopped to watch a family outside playing. The children were excited, and rightly so. This was a pretty big night in their young worlds. The parents were happy. She could see the secrets they held between them each time they looked at each other on this magical night. Each home she walked by was decorated and sang out the season’s joy. Feeling a chill, she pulled up the collar on her jacket and then stuffed her hands into her pockets. For this one night there was only happiness in Rid

Part 2 From a Dream Jennah flipped the covers back and groaned. How can the alarm be going off already? Didn’t I just get to sleep? Sitting up, she squinted over at the clock on the other side of the bed, on the other side of the man still sleeping. She smirked. He was the reason she felt like she’d just gone to sleep. How he could sleep through the alarm beeping, she’d never understand. She shifted to try and reach over him. Twice she had to slide further up in the bed and reach over his muscled chest. Finally balancing her weight on one hand, she managed to stretch across him and hit the top of the clock. Dropping her hand back down to rest beside him, she looked down at the masculine face beneath her. His long, dark lashes and relaxed face made him look like a dark angel. She smiled as her heavy gaze moved over his shadowed face and his hair, which had grown considerably in the l

Dominic watched from behind the curtain as she got into her car and left. He waited until her lights were out of sight before scanning the entire area. He couldn’t see anything except the tall snowbanks lining the road. There was no trace of movement in the early dawn. He turned and looked the other way, watching for shadows. No signs of movement again this morning, but for the last few days his gut had been telling him someone was out there. He slowly moved the curtains back into place and stepped back from the window. He rubbed a hand over his face. “Probably just paranoia setting in,” he mumbled to the empty room. He turned around and grabbed his cell phone from the table. Rolling his shoulders, he tried to relax as he punched in Brody’s number. A groggy voice answered on the other end. “You weren’t sleeping, were you?” “Some people do that, Dom.” Dominic grinned at the sound of irritation

Dom inhaled the cool air deeply. It felt good to be outside, even if it was to tromp through the snow in the little treed area behind Jennah’s building. She knew he went for these little strolls and had given him one of those female looks that told him she thought he shouldn’t, but she had never voiced it. That was one of the things he loved about her. She got him. She didn’t fake understanding what he was all about. She genuinely grasped what made him tick. He stopped and looked back behind him again, and checked for any movement that wasn’t supposed to be there. He smirked. She probably understood him because they has a lot of things in common. He reached for her with his mind. “Hey, beautiful, are you heading home to me yet?” Her soft chuckle filled his mind. “Soon. I had to stop at the store and get a few things, so you can cook me dinner after a hard day at work.” He grinned
Dreams Chapter 20 - From a Dream
When Brody pulled up outside, Dom watched him walk slowly and carefully along the side of her car, looking for the same tracks he had been looking for. He was trying not to lose it, but they didn’t have long before it would be too dark to find anything. Brody stepped in the doorway. “The glove?” Dom went over and took the large case from his hand. “It’s mine. It’s covering blood.” He dropped the case onto the couch and opened it. As he pulled out the gloves, he looked over his shoulder to see Brody with a concerned look on his face. “It’s theirs, not Jennah’s.” He pulled on one glove and then paused in the motion of pulling on the other one. Hesitantly, he glanced back at the other man. Brody stood there with his head cocked to the side, eyebrows raised while studying him. Dom looked down at the floor for a second. He had just slipped up. Unbelievable. Sighing, he turned and

Jennah opened her eyes. It was dark, completely and utterly dark. What time is it? She rubbed a hand over her eyes and tried to persuade them to focus. Opening them again, she huffed out a breath. It was hopeless, not even a shadow shared her space, wherever she was. She stiffened when she realized she was lying on something lumpy. She pushed up onto her hand and ran the other one over whatever she was on. It was some sort of padding, scratchy and lumpy. Please let it just be an old mattress. Sitting all the way up, she hissed out a breath and held her forehead. Her head objected to being upright. What had they done to her? Dropping her hand down, she inched it out away from her body to see what she was on. It touched nothing after a few seconds. She moved one leg slowly out. Her foot met air and then fell down to hit the floor. Okay, so it is a bed—or cot is probably more likely considering it’s ver
Dreams Chapter 22 - From a Dream
Dom hung up the phone as Brody came back through the door. “Captain said he’d be here shortly. He’s sent some sort of specialist on ahead of him.” He tried to remember the name. “I don’t know what they’re going to do. It’s too dark to see shit out there now!”Brody nodded as he squatted down by the items still scattered on the floor. “We got everything. Do we try to lift anything off of this stuff?” Using his pen, he moved a tomato a few inches on the floor. “I really doubt they manhandled the groceries.”Dom picked up the camera and went over. He held it out. “Just take pictures of it and then we’ll get it picked up.” Brody nodded and started to take the pictures. Dom stood there and tried not to glance at his watch again. Time was not going to bring her back. “Jennah? Honey, can y
