Five Years Later

With Rawhide Ranch’s newest high-profile members—the former president of the United States, his husband, and their third, Jordan—Lilah’s patrol area ended up shifted to encompass the Ranch, the Ridge, and Porter’s Corner, because she knew the region well.
And Master Derek had talks with her supervisors to make it happen, because he wanted law enforcement he trusted working around the Ranch to help preserve everyone’s privacy.
We were taking classes at the Ranch this weekend, and the high-powered trio were in attendance.
I’d actually become friends with Jordan because of him being in classes with me, but I still couldn’t get a good read on him.
He seemed like a really nice guy, but I suspected that he had a darkly Dommy streak buried within him.
Today Jordan and I were in the main lobby deciding where to eat lunch. Sir had been called in unexpectedly for a work shift but had encouraged me to not miss the class.
I leaned in and whispered to Jordan, “Who’s that snack?”
He looked where I was indicating. “That’s the new lead agent of Elliot’s detail, Mitch Norton. Today’s his second day here.”
“He single?”
Jordan had a way of drawing back his head and arching an eyebrow at me that had me convinced yep, he’s Dommy. “Maaaaybe. Whyyyy?”
“Lilah,” I whispered.
The other eyebrow joined the first and a slow smile spread across his face. “Oh reeeeallly? She interested in him?”
“I noticed her eye-fucking him this morning. Any ideas how we can kind of toss them together in a way they can’t avoid?”
He softly snorted and offered me a fist bump. “Consider it done.”
He headed off and I suppressed the urge to puppy wiggle in happiness that maybe, just maybe, Lilah could finally find her forever guy. Because she damned well deserved it, even if she didn’t think she did.
And there was no way I’d let my sister avoid finding happiness just because of her fear. Hell, she’d pushed me out of my comfort zone and I didn’t regret it for a second.
Turnabout’s fair play.
I grinned and set off in search of food.
Wait’ll I tell Daddy. He’ll laugh his ass off.
The End
