“Yes, sir.”
The old door on my father’s truck creaks open, but he hesitates before stepping inside. Even after Jameson bought him a brand new one, he still drives this old hunk of junk.
“I am happy for you, son,” he admits, still facing away from me. “Even if you did go about it in the wrong way.”
I watch as my dad gets in the truck and starts the engine. He backs away from the house and hollers out the window, reminding me one last time not to forget to call my mother. When his truck is out of sight, I take the two steps up to the porch and walk through the open front door. Rory and her dad are sitting at the kitchen table waiting for me. I take a step toward Skip, fully prepared to apologize, but he stops me.
“I mostly came to make sure the two of you behaved.” He places his hands on his knees and stands up. “I have no objection to this relationship. Like your dad, I wish you would’ve come clean before the wedding and saved me some money.” Skip slaps my shoulder as he walks toward the still open front door. “By the way, you owe me five grand.”
His words confuse me a little, and my eyes dart to Rory for clarification. “I thought Rory and Brad paid for everything?”
With a deep laugh, Skip slaps me on the back once more. “Can’t blame me for trying. See you Tuesday.” He walks out the front door but hesitates. “Oh, and Jackson, you’re on traffic duty.”
Shit.
“Bye, dad. Love you!” Rory calls out after him.
“Love you too, baby.”
Once Skip is off the porch, I shut the front door and lock it. With a long sigh, I join Rory at the table. Her face is a mixture of sympathy and curiosity.
“You ok?”
“Yeah. It’s just another thing I’ve done to disappoint him. But honestly, this time I don’t care.” Rory laces her fingers through mine and the warmth of her touch grounds me. “He still likes you, though, so we’re good.”
“Well, I’m a very likable person.” She smiles. “Chocolate milkshake to make it all better?”
Rory waves the Whataburger cup in front of my face, teasing me. I grab her wrist and pull her closer. With my other hand, I remove the plastic lid and dip my finger into the cold, melting milkshake. Over the cup, I hold my finger out for Rory. She smiles as she moves her lips level with my finger. I watch as she takes the entire length into her mouth. Those full, plump lips of hers snuggly wrap around the digit as she swirls her tongue and sucks me clean. My eyes go dark, and I feel my cock grow hard. All I want to do now is bury myself deep inside of her and make her scream my name.
“I’ve got a better idea of how you can make me feel better.”

Sitting at my desk,I’m trying to finish up the last of my reports. Skip has stuck me with traffic duty all week. He claims to be happy about my relationship with his daughter, but sticking me on traffic duty has me thinking otherwise. He’s punishing me, showing me how he can make my life hell if he wants. My thoughts are validated when Terrell walks in laughing.
“Shut up,” I grumble. I hate doing these stupid reports. Everyone does.
“It could be worse,” Terrell says, still laughing. “He could’ve shot you.”
“I’m sure the thought crossed his mind.”
“I know if it was my daughter you were violating, you’d be face down in a cornfield by now.”
“Comforting, thank you.”
“So you two are really a thing now, huh?”
This is the first time I’ve seen Terrell since the wedding. He wasn’t in attendance because some officers had to stay behind to work. Even a town as quiet as Hawk Bend still has its fair share of crime and issues that must be dealt with on the daily. But Nia, his wife, was there. And I’m sure she called him the moment everything went down.
“Yeah, we’re really a thing.” I can’t help the smile that spreads across my face.
“Damn, brother.” I look up to find Terrell shaking his head at me. “You got it bad.”
“I always have. Now I can just be upfront about it.”
“Bro, don’t lie.” Terrell picks up a file and starts typing on the computer.
“Don’t lie about what?”
