Dustin is spending a lot of time with Jordan. Also with his two friends. But Dustin grins and bears it. So what's up with them tonight? Where are they going and why? Find out more in this week's chapter of The Sheriff. Don't forget to visit the other Briefers and see what they're up to! Their links follow my tale! Enjoy!
The Sheriff #20 (6.2)
Dustin signed his name to the check which covered his share
of living expenses and left it on the kitchen table, where Denver would be sure
to find it. A twinge of guilt pricked his conscience. He hadn’t seen much of
his cousin lately, not even at work. They seemed to work completely different
shifts, and whenever Dustin wasn’t working, he was with Jordan.
Damn, that man was fine. And he seemed to be smitten with
Dustin, which was most gratifying after the rejection he’d received from
Marshall. Not that he blamed Marshall or Lee for that. Not any more, anyway.
But still, it was nice to have someone who made a point of letting you know he
wanted to be with you. Even if they spent an awful lot of time with Jordan’s
lunkhead friends. But the time they got to spend alone made up for that.
Then what was Dustin concerned about? Life was good, right?
Except sometimes, the things he heard between Jordan and
Rusty and Lenny left him scratching his head, trying to puzzle out what they
were talking about.
Dustin was growing more and more suspicious of Rusty’s sales
job. For some reason, he seemed to work out of his trunk. Rusty said it cut
down on overhead, which made sense in one way, but not another. Where did he
keep his stock? And why did it seem to change all the time? A lot of
electronics, various brands. Computer equipment. And cell phones.
But if he questioned Jordan about it, in private, Jordan
just laughed. And then he’d kiss Dustin hard enough to drive any other thoughts
from his brain, and then they’d end up in bed and the question would be shelved
once more.
The insistent ring of the doorbell drew Dustin from his
reverie. Surely Denver hadn’t lost his key?
He glanced through the small peephole in the door. Speak of the devil.
Standing there were Rusty and Lenny, with no sign of Jordan. What did they
want?
He opened the door slightly. He didn’t even like that they
knew where he lived. That made him uncomfortable. Not like he and Jordan ever
hung out here, but still, it was the principle of the thing.
“Hey, Dustin,” came Rusty’s cheery voice. “Open the door,
man, it’s us.”
Like he didn’t know that already.
Still, he had no real reason not to, so he swung the door a
little wider, albeit reluctantly. “What’s up, guys?” He scanned up and down the
hallway. Still no sign of Jordan.
“Big guy’s downstairs.” Rusty supplied the missing
information. “He sent us up to get you, didn’t he, Len?”
Len nodded his head vigorously. “He sure did.”
“He said to tell you he’s waiting in the car for you, and to
wear something dark.”
Something dark? Dustin frowned. “Why?” These two weren’t
making any sense.
“Yeah, something dark,” Lenny confirmed. “I think he has
something special planned.” He gave Dustin a confidential wink that struck
Dustin as being rather creepy.
Maybe they would be able to ditch these two, maybe that was
Jordan’s plan. That would be nice.
“You should do that, then. He doesn’t like to be kept
waiting.”
Was that menace he heard in Rusty’s voice? Whatever it was,
he didn’t like it.
“Yeah, fine,” Dustin said. “I’ll be down in a couple
minutes. Meet you down there.” He closed the door before either man had time to
reply.
Not wanting to keep Jordan waiting, he hurried to his
bedroom, even as he wondered when he’d become such a teenage girl? But his
libido reminded him that Jordan was damn hot, and he was totally in to Dustin,
and so what if his friends were a little creepy?
He found a dark blue sweatshirt with long sleeves, in case
it was cool, and a pair of black slacks. Just to be safe, even though the
subject hadn’t come up, he exchanged his tennis shoes for a pair of dark brown
boots.
As he locked the apartment door behind him, he was half
afraid they’d be waiting for him, but there was no sign of the gruesome
twosome, so Dustin hurried downstairs, and headed out to the
parking lot. There was Jordan’s car, with Jordan behind the wheel. Rusty and
Lenny were standing on either side of the car. At sight of him, they waved and
then ducked into the back seat.
Dustin started to go around to the passenger side, when
Jordan surprised him by getting out and beckoning to him. “Hey sexy,” he
greeted Dustin just before he pulled him into a long, wet kiss which sent
Dustin’s blood pressure skyrocketing. “You and me. It’s gonna be you and me
tonight,” he murmured softly.
Now that sounded more like it. Dustin glanced into the
backseat, where the two men were grinning broadly. What the hell’s so funny, he
wondered.
“We’re going to drop them off.”
Dustin definitely liked the sound of that.
“But first, we’re going to help Rusty with a little
problem.”
That sounded ominous. Before Dustin could think to protest,
Jordan had his hand pressed against Dustin’s crotch, and thinking became
non-existent.
“Let’s get this show underway, then,” Jordan said. He hadn’t
closed the door when he got out to greet Dustin. He waved Dustin to climb
inside, even as he repeated, “You and me, baby,” in a heated whisper.
Okay, for that, Dustin could put up with the presence of the
two stooges.
