Chapter 40 - After the Dream
Forcing her mind off the smaller part, she bent her knee up to half crawl and try to reach the exit faster.  When she came to a slight turn, she stretched out, holding the light in front of her to look.  “Brody.”  His hand touched her ankle.  “There’s a grate over the end.”“Fuck,” he panted out a loud breath. Holding still, she realized he was trying to move up along beside her.  Turning onto her side, she pushed her back against the cool steel to make room for him.  By the time he was at her waist, he had to turn on his side and shimmy his way up further.  When they were face to face, he winked at her and then reached out and took the light from her hand and shone it around the bend in the pipe.Setting the light down he reached to switch his mic back on.  ‘You find it yet, Dom?”  He watched her as he listened.  “Ten feet isn’t the biggest

Chapter 41 - After the Dream
On edge and impatient, Brody paced to the window and waited for Grayson to drag himself away from his computers to give them an update.  Dom was still missing, probably in the comp room staring Gray down until he finished.  Jennah and Tessa were sitting quietly discussing baby names—apparently the ten times they’d already decided on a name wasn’t the final one, yet.  Joslee was leaning over his coffee like a he hadn’t slept in days, which was more than possible, they’d been free to do what they wanted for too long now.  Smithy was quiet, which was his usual M.O., for the man to listen to unspoken thoughts.  His silence was making Brody’s jaw tick; he kept looking at him and then nonchalantly over at Tessa.  If the man uttered one word of what had taken place between them tonight he’d have a hard time reading anyone’s mind while he was head first in the toilet.“I know everyone is tired,”

 It didn’t take long for everyone to clear out of the room, Brody stayed back—waiting.  Tessa stood by the table, leaning over to look at the pages Grayson had left behind.  All he could hear was the whirl of the fan on the other side of the room and his heartbeat racing as he watched her.Smithy was across the table musing over something on one of the papers he held, but Brody’s attention wasn’t on the man.  Tessa leaned on the table with both hands and dropped her head down, in deep thought, perhaps.  Brody was having trouble getting past the shape of that ass hugged perfectly in those low riding jeans she wore.  His jaw clenched, he moved back to the window and tried to focus on something else.With a snap of his head Smithy looked over at him, the smirk playing at his mouth telling Brody he knew exactly what he was thinking.  Clearing his throat he nodded towards the door.  “My bed calls

Tessa swallowed, trying to regain her breathing.  “Just that.”  She gave him a once over, with a look of admiration.  “Anytime I’ve transported with you I don’t suffer afterward.”Brody sat up and studied her.  “What would I have to do with anything?”Unable to keep her hands to herself, she ran her fingertips down over the muscles across his shoulder.  “I’m not sure, but it’s only with you.”“Are you sure?”  He captured her hand and kissed her palm.  With a slow easy move, he pulled from her body but continued to hold her against him.“Yes.”  She smiled and leaned back into the pillow again.  “I’ve done it with a lot of people lately and the only time the nausea and headache doesn’t happen after is when it’s with you.”Examining her small hand against his much larger one, his eye

Brody stood outside the door and waiting for Tess when she came out, he pulled her down the hall into the dark corner.  Holding her against his body, he leaned down and whispered against her ear.  “Come back to my room.” Wrapping her arms around him she looked up at him.  “I need at least a few minutes sleep or I’ll be useless in the morning.” She was right and he knew it.  Neither of them would get any sleep if they were together.  Nodding, he dropped a kiss on her mouth and then released her.  “Go.” With a slow appraising look down his entire body, she smiled at him and then turned and went up the stairs.  He stood at the bottom and watched as she climbed them, each step revealing more of what was under his shirt.  Absolutely nothing was against her skin but the shirt.  Blowing out a loud breath he shook his head and finally went up the stairs.  He probably wouldn’t sleep a wink now, not with that image burn

Chapter 45 - After the Dream
Tess couldn’t remember the last time she felt this relaxed and content, it was the same reason she was tired.  She could hear the others moving around in the next room, probably going over what Grayson had told her and Brody earlier.  Staring into the coffee in her cup, she smiled when her thoughts went back to Brody.  Being with him hadn’t been what she had thought it would be.Brody stepped into the kitchen and stopped when she looked up at him.  Judging by the state of his sandy hair he had just stumbled out of bed.“Hey.”  She felt her face flush when he smiled as his eyes moved over her with intimacy.“I didn’t hear you get up.” Moving from the door towards the coffee pot, he rubbed a hand over his face.  “Did I miss anything?”She watched him as he moved around, his movements were graceful for a man his size.  “I’ve only been up a few minutes.”

Chapter 46 - After the Dream
Brody rounded the corner almost running over Tessa.  Grabbing her arms, he steadied her.  “Where are you running to in a hurry?”  Her warm hands rested against his chest, burning him through his shirt.“Grayson called us all to the basement—you didn’t know?”He felt like he was drowning in her soft eyes.  “I was working out then hopped in the shower.”“Oh.” It was hard to not do more than hold her arms when her eyes caressed him.  When she reached up and brushed his damp hair back from his face, he had to remind his brain of what she had just said.  “Why the basement?”Easing her hands slowly down his chest to rest by his waist, she shrugged.   “I’m not sure, but he said to leave anything electronic up here.”“Let’s go see what’s up.”  Hesitating for a few seconds, he reluctantly

Crouching down, Brody moved a little further over the knoll.  “They have both containers loaded up.”Tess watched through the binoculars.  “Everyone is gone but the driver of the truck and that jeep parked at the end.”Brody looked over to Joslee.  He’d been filling Dom and the others in on what was happening.  He shook his head.  “They don’t have an ID yet.”  Glaring at the truck, he clenched his jaw a few times.  “Too bad we can’t get close enough to disable the truck to stall until the Captain gets it together.”Lowering the binoculars she looked at him and then back to the truck.  “Tell me what to do and I’ll pop down do it and get back here.”“What if you can’t get back just like that?”  He didn’t want to agree with her idea, but a part of him knew it was probably the only chance they had.  They

Chapter 48 - After the Dream
Tess tried not to think of how pissed Brody was going to be that she’d tricked him into agreeing to let her near the containers.  If Gray’s little contraption worked and jammed up what was inside the container, it would be worth it.  Of course the only ones that knew about it were her and Grayson—that wasn’t going to sit well with the others either.   She slid along slowly on her belly on top of the cool steel container, trying to keep her body low enough to not be seen. Lifting her head, she spotted the truck coming up fast.  All she had to do was somehow get from this trailer to the truck Joslee was driving like a madman.  No biggie, how hard could jumping from one moving vehicle to another be?  Swallowing she shuffled around so she could come down the back of the container feet first.  If her ability worked, it would save a whole lot of stress, but regardless of whatever they’d done to ensure the t

Chapter 49 - After the Dream
Brody didn’t take his eyes off Tessa as Jennah mothered him and cleaned and bandaged his shoulder.  Tess was chewing her bottom lip as she read over the list of known associates of the guy they’d identified.  Of course it turned out to be someone everyone knew or knew of—and taking him down was going to have to be a very precise operation.  Getting close enough to the man in charge wasn’t going to be an easy thing to accomplish. Tessa lowered the pages and leaned back in the chair, closing her eyes for a few seconds.  It was long enough for him to allow his eyes to travel over her without being caught.  When she opened them again, he looked away and met Joslee’s glare.  Lifting his eyebrows, he tried to look repentant for tormenting the man that could hear what he was thinking—which at this moment was something he couldn’t wait to be doing to Tess.The Captain came back into the room and glan
