grab some good alone time together. She was certainly in the
mood as she watched his tight backside leave her room. She also liked the rough
beard look. Maybe he would grow it for her during their next long vacation?
Rich followed Michael out, telling him about the conversation
he had with the older men. Michael grabbed his gear bag, listening carefully
with a frown. “You’re right, that’s not like them. Maybe Sam hit the nail on
the head about them feeling guilty. Rich, I don’t feel right in dealing with
this. Something is not meshing for me here. I know her so well I can tell when
she is lying or hiding something, and I think the old men know what it is. What
do you think? I need your honest opinion.”
“Okay, let’s assume there is something else in the works that
they are hiding, do you believe either of them would have made her do this? Whether
they feel guilty or not, this was a step that she should not have taken. It put
her in danger. I honestly don’t care about the school crap, Mike. That is
bullshit. But drinking and driving? There is no way I will ever justify that.”
“I agree. You are also right. They both are very specific
about following their house rules, no matter the situation. Please make sure
she stays in her room today. I will take care of things when I get off duty.”
“I was going to ask you if you would mind if I handled this
instead. She needs to learn some things about me. The first and foremost is
that I am not a pushover. I will enforce both your family’s rules, and my own. And
I have made my position very clear to her regarding alcohol use.”
“I don’t think she feels you are a pushover at all. Trust me,
I have seen her around men who she thinks she can manipulate, and you are not
one of them,” Michael reassured his friend. “However, if you really want to be the
one to deal with this incident, I won’t object. To be honest, it isn’t in my
heart to do anything right now. Like I said, something does not feel right to
me. It really feels too much like a set up,” he reiterated, leaning against his
car thoughtfully.
“Even if it were, does that justify her putting herself in
deliberate danger? Do you think your folks advocated what she did, even if it
were in the line of duty? They are too honorable to disregard their standards
to encourage anything like that. Set up or not, what she did was stupid and
wrong.”
“You’re absolutely right,” Michael conceded. “Just be fair
with her, okay? Give her a chance to explain herself. If she doesn’t, well...
Use your best judgment.”
“Don’t worry, I will. I’ll see you tomorrow, okay?”
“Good luck, buddy. I’ll call Jen and let her know where I am.
Maybe she can come down and keep me company during my breaks.” Michael forced a
smile. “Sammi did point out that I look hot in my Charlies.”
“Oh, Lord. Your duty is to watch your post, not screw your
girlfriend.” Rich groaned as Michael laughed while sliding into his car. “Call
if you need anything. Drive carefully.”
Rich stretched his back, watching Mike drive off. He turned
back to the house and walked slowly upstairs. Sam was still in bed, looking a
little more refreshed. She had obviously cleaned up a bit while he was outside.
The brat.
“Move over, I’m going back to sleep.”
“Hold me first,” she ordered.
Rich wrapped his arm around her, pulling her back to his
chest. She fit so well there, spooned next to his body. “Mike and I decided that
it would be appropriate for me to handle your discipline today. Enjoy this
snuggling while it lasts,” he said into her neck.
She shivered, pushing harder against him. “Yes, Rich,” she
whispered. “But you will also cuddle me afterwards, right? I need that so I
know that you forgave me. Please?”
“Don’t worry. I will both cuddle and forgive you, but there
is a price to pay first. Now, sleep.”
Sam sighed deeply, grateful that her parents had obviously intervened
