Chapter 54 - After the Dream
It took Tess a moment to pull away from Brody’s kiss when she realized she’d brought them to the backyard instead of inside the house. “You had me all distracted and I didn’t focus hard enough.”
Putting his arm around her, he pulled her against him and turned them towards the door. “Oh I’d say you were focused on the right thing.”
Unzipping the vest, Brody shrugged out of it as soon as they entered the house. Tess kicked off her heels and sighed in relief to be free of them. Before she could turn around he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, cuddling her against his warm body.
“Can I bribe you to wear those shoes again, later?”
Tilting her head she closed her eyes as his mouth moved over the side of her neck. “I believe it’s illegal to bribe a police officer.”
“Mmm, I’ll take my chances.”
“Oh, good you’re back.” Jennah moved slowly into the room.

“Tell me your name.” The unfamiliar voice was intense, yet gentle, and it resonated in all the right places inside of her. “Jennah Best.” She glanced around, trying to place where they were.

“Jennah?” She turned to see Dominic a few feet away from her. She smiled. “Hi.” He strode over to her in long strides. “I thought it was you.”

Jennah silently prayed all the way to work that today would be less chaotic than the day before. Her prayers were not answered. She had only taken three steps into the office when she was hailed by Rudy waving his hand at her. Sighing, she walked over to the older, round man and offered him what she hoped looked close to a smile

Jennah glanced out the window as she rubbed her hair dry. The snow was falling from the dark night sky. She hung the towel over the curtain rod and turned back to the mirror. She hadn’t heard anything from Dominic yet and she didn’t know how to go about contacting him. Did she go to bed and just hope he showed up while she slept—again? Should she try to concentrate and see if she could reach him? Sighing, she walked out to the small sitting area and picked up her book. Either way, she was going to go climb under the covers and relax. She didn’t have to get up before dawn to go to work, and for the next twenty-four hours, she didn’t have to deal with crazed, holiday-afflicted people. She climbed under the covers and sat back against the pillows. Closing her eyes, she let out a slow breath and allowed all the tension from the last few days to ease out of her shoulders. She slid down further on the pillows. Her book wasn’t

Dom lay there, looking at the ceiling. There was still an hour before they could go outside for yard time. He was looking forward to the cool air to help clear his head. He smirked at the faded ceiling. Images of Jennah filed every molecule of his mind right now. “Palmer?” He turned to look at Slick as he came back into their cell. Something was wrong. Slick always seemed a little cautious, but this time he was downright nervous, almost panicked. He sat up and swung his legs over the edge. “What’s wrong?” Slick glanced down at the floor and then over his shoulder before looking back at him. “I caught up to Dickenson like you said to.” He stuffed his hands in his pockets, and then pulled them back out again. Dom squared his shoulders. “I take it the info wasn’t good?” Slick shook his head. “For a guard, he’s usually pretty cool, you know?&nbs

She smirked at his words, but did as he said. At first, she didn’t see anything and thought she wasn’t doing it right, and then images started to come forward. Images of a tall, chain-link fence, of men wandering around in the cold. The men were dressed in the same dark blue jackets, and many wore the same dark blue hats. Her heartbeat sped up when she recognized the next thing she saw. A guard tower standing high above the tall fence. It was a prison, and if she wasn’t mistaken, it was Wyestate prison. She opened her eyes and the images left all at once. She swallowed. “Are you a guard at Wyestate?” Another long silence. “Jennah...” She shook her head at the pleading way he said her name. She was all too familiar with that pleading tone, and she was not falling for it ever again! “Are you?” “No.” She closed her eyes and tried to fight the crushing
Dreams Chapter 7 - In Our Dream
After the way her day off had dragged and tormented her, and yesterday with the storm and no one out doing anything, Jennah was actually happy with the busy chaos of the crazy season. She hadn’t had any time today to stop and think about things, particularly Dominic. If she had too much free time, she knew she would have checked him out in the database, just to see, and that would have been the worst thing she could have done. To know he was an inmate was bad enough, and from what she knew about Wyestate, petty criminals didn’t get sent there. How could she have been so stupid? Not to pick up on the clues? He was evasive, asked her what she did at the station, asked her about Wyestate, and even confessed it had been a long time since he’d been with a woman. Some cop you are, she thought. A man that looked like that could have any woman he wanted so why would he voluntarily abstain? He wouldn’t. So the only possible ans
Dreams Chapter 8 - In Our Dream
Sitting down, she set the folder on her legs and took a few deep breaths. She pictured unlocking the door and opening it. “Dom?” She sat there, gripping the bench, and waited. “Dominic?” Nothing but silence answered her. Opening her eyes, and she flipped open the folder again to look at his picture. His hair was longer than she had seen it, but it was definitely him. His eyes were dark and cold, but they’d have to be if he was playing the part. She read his stats a few times, trying to commit them to memory. Turning the pages, she read the reports that followed. She frowned. If she was reading it right, this went back many years. What was someone as young as Dominic doing in on it? She kept reading, and then stopped suddenly and re-read the one paragraph. Suspected in the killing of Officer Palmer... Dom’s father? That would explain why he was neck deep in it. C
