It looks like things have just gotten better for Roy and Dustin, what with Jordan being caught and taken off to jail. But what does this mean? Are they over now? See what's happening in this week's episode of The Sheriff. Don't forget to visit the other Briefers and see what's up with them. Their links follow my tale! Enjoy!
The ordeal was finally over. Jordan and his little friends
were safely locked up where they couldn’t hurt anyone, particularly Dustin.
Harlan had assured Roy that bail would be set high, once he made his report to
the judge. With his accomplices already having rolled on their friend in order
to reduce their own sentences, Jordan would be going away for quite some time.
They’d driven to the police department to see if Harlan
needed them for anything. Jordan didn’t look quite so self-assured now. In
fact, the pretty boy looked downright scared, as the reality of what he was
facing hit him. He sat beside a deputy’s desk, handcuffed, while the deputy
typed up arrest papers. As Dustin and Roy walked past, on the way to Harlan’s
office, Jordan cleared his throat, as if he had something to say to Dustin.
“Hey, Dusty…”
Roy tensed, but
Dustin didn’t even look Jordan’s way, and the moment passed.
They made their reports to Harlan who then them to go home,
get some rest, he’d call them if he needed them. Roy was more than happy to do
just that. They headed outside. Dustin pulled out his phone and called Denver
to let him know it was safe for him to go back to the apartment if he wanted.
Now, only one question remained. Roy didn’t want to ask, but he felt compelled
to do so, now that the immediate threat was over.
“Would you like… do you want me to drop you off at your
place?” He thought he managed to keep his voice fairly level, not betraying any
of the turmoil his question raised inside him. He didn’t want Dustin to go, but
he sure as hell wasn’t going to try to force him into anything he didn’t want
to do, either. It was completely up to him.
When Dustin didn’t answer immediately, Roy raised his eyes
to meet his, gripped by a feeling of apprehension.
“You mean instead of going to Rye’s place, with Denver?”
Dustin said, almost like he was trying to feel Roy out or something.
“I mean instead of coming home with me,” Roy said bluntly.
“I want to be with you, Roy,” Dustin said without
hesitation. “As long as you’ll have me.”
Roy circled Dustin in his arms and kissed him softly. “What
if I said forever?” he asked.
“What do you mean?”
“I mean I’d like you to move in with me. Permanently. “
The look in Dustin’s eyes was incredulous. “Sheriff Landry,
are you asking me to live with you? Seriously?”
“Seriously,” Roy affirmed. “As long as you want to stay. Or
until you get tired of me. But I want to get something straight first.”
Dustin took a deep breath. “Okay, what’s that?”
“I’m not looking for a roommate. I want to share my life
with you, Dustin. I want to be with you.” He gently stroked Dustin’s cheek,
locking eyes with him. “This isn’t just about sex, although that’s great. I
enjoy your company, I like talking to you. I think you’re a great guy, and I
think I’ve fallen in love with you. If that all sounds good to you, then I hope
you’ll accept my offer and move in.”
Roy wasn’t sure what Dustin’s reaction would be. He’d heard
Dustin’s heartfelt confession earlier, just hadn’t had a chance to respond.
This was his response. But if Dustin didn’t want him exclusively… well, then no
hard feelings, he would be moving on.
As all these thoughts churned through Roy’s mind, Dustin
solved the question by wrapping his arms around Roy and pressing their lips
together. When they finally came up for air, Dustin said, “There’s nothing in
the world I’d rather do than be with you, Roy.” He rubbed himself against Roy.
There was no mistaking what he wanted…the same thing Roy did.
“Then let’s go home,” Roy said, his voice husky with emotion
and desire.
