Knox Police Force Box Set

by Hope Ford

  When I get to her, I put my hand out to shake hers. Just like I have all the other instructors. But when my hand wraps around hers, I feel the jolt shoot up my arm and I know then, even more than before, that this is it, this is who I’m meant to be with.

  She smiles at me and longing shoots across her face, but she quickly hides it.

  “Soon,” I mutter to her and then quickly walk away.

  After the graduation, I don’t take my eyes off her. She has several graduates coming up to her and I don’t want to lose her in the crowd. My family all joins me and after congratulations, we decide to all go out and eat.

  When my mom starts to walk away I tell her, “Add another one. I’m bringing a date.”

  She looks surprised, because I have never brought anyone home before so I know she thinks it might be serious. I just smile widely at her.

  I wait until Korie is done talking to another graduate before I walk up to her. She has her long blond hair down and it is in curls down her back. She smiles at me and offers me congratulations.

  I don’t beat around the bush. “Come to dinner with me and my family.”

  She looks surprised and then she contains the hope I saw flare in her eyes. “I can’t. It wouldn’t be right.”

  I take a step closer to her. “Please come. I know it’s sudden, but my family is hardly ever able to be together at the same time. I want you to meet them.”

  “Jase, what is your mom going to think?” She tries to step away from me.

  “That I’m lucky I have a smart and beautiful woman by my side,” I tell her. I know she’s worried about it. But she doesn’t know my family. We have been through so much heartache and trauma. We know how important love is and how unimportant age and circumstances are.

  “Come on. You can tell everyone how well I did in class,” I plead with her.

  “You mean how I had to school you on how to shoot?” she jests back.

  “Fine. Whatever I have to agree to in order to get you there, I’ll do it.” I tug her hand to follow me. She jerks her hand back and looks around, but she does follow me.

  Korie

  I don’t know what I’m thinking. How is this going to even work? But I do know seeing him in his dress blues today about did me under. I almost melted into a pile of goo on the stage. There’s something about a man in uniform. When we get to the restaurant, I’m a nervous mess. I’m worried about what his family is going to think about him bringing an instructor to dinner. What are they going to think about my age? Everything is going through my head and I don’t know how to process it.

  I stop him when he opens my door and I step out of his truck. I’m in foreign territory. I’m so used to being confident and in charge that this is a little overwhelming.

  “How are you going to introduce me?” I ask him.

  “Uh… Korie Matthews…” he starts and when I look at him speculatively, he finishes his sentence, “my woman.”

  Shaking my head, I tell him no. “Please, if I’m going to get through this dinner, please just introduce me as your friend, or even your instructor, but nothing else.”

  He shrugs. “Okay.” We walk into the restaurant and he pushes me in front of him and guides me with his hand on my back. When we almost reach the table, he whispers into my ear, “It doesn’t matter though. They’re my family. They‘ll know what you mean to me.”

  And before I can answer we reach his family and all eyes are on us. I know my face is red. I know that I want to turn around and walk out of here, but I can’t. I won’t.

  “Hello, everyone. It’s so nice to meet you. Thank you for letting me crash your party.”

  His mom jumps up and comes around the table and pulls me into a big hug. “Oh my gosh, honey, you are just beautiful,” she gushes at me.

  Stunned, I’m taken aback until I remember my manners and mumble, “Thank you.”

  Jase then introduces me to his family. He looks just like his older brother. And his sister looks just like their mom.

  Sitting next to his sister-in-law, we get to know each other while conversation takes over the table.

  Jase leans across me to his sister-in-law and asks her, “How have you been, Jennifer? My brother still treating you right?”

  She smiles at Jase and then looks over to her husband. There’s an unspoken conversation between the two of them before she looks back at Jase and nods, smiling at him. She starts talking about their son and his most recent baseball game. I watch her talk and although she’s smiling, I see the sadness in her eyes. I look between her and her husband and he can’t take his eyes off her. I can’t help but wonder what has her so sad.

  Jase’s sister has been really nice, but you can tell she is preoccupied. She keeps walking away from the table to talk on the phone. She mentions being on a big case, so no one seems to be concerned. At a table of mostly cops, a big case is par for the course.

  Jase draws my attention away when he puts his hand on my thigh. I clench my legs together at the contact. He looks over at me and just smiles. I put my hand over his to move it, but he quickly rolls his hand over and captures mine. He holds on to it and I know not to struggle. He’s not going to let me go.

  These last few weeks have been hard. I’ve never wanted someone as badly as I want him. I don’t know what tomorrow may bring. Hell, he may leave as soon as it’s over, but I am going to make sure I enjoy tonight.

  Jase

  When dinner is finally over, I say goodbye to my family and walk Korie to my truck. My family loved her, my brother especially after she told them about my shooting. He really enjoyed that.

  The whole time at the restaurant I couldn’t keep my hands off her. I am barely hanging on because I have to have her at this point. Twelve weeks since I met her. And in those twelve weeks she has consumed every thought, every minute of every day.

  I lean over the console and kiss her. She responds to me by pulling me closer to her. “Time’s up,” I whisper against her lips.

  I feel her lips curve into a smile and I pull back to look at her. She nods her head at me approvingly and I waste no time pulling out of the parking lot.

  When we get to her house, I help her out of the car and with my hand around her shoulders, I guide her to the front door. I take the keys from her and unlock her front door and then let her walk in before me.

  I stop her before she goes any farther. “Take your clothes off,” I tell her.

  She stops and turns around with a big grin on her face. “You’ve seen me. Well, parts of me. I want to see you. Take your clothes off.”

  I take off my shoes, then pull my shirt over my head and her hand reaches out to touch my bare chest. She draws a circle around my nipple and then trails her finger down the center of my chest to the button on my pants. She unbuttons them, taking her time to unzip them and tug them and my underwear down my legs in one fast swoop. My cock, already hard and heavy, springs up between us and she gasps when she looks at it.

  I grab my cock with one hand and give it a good stroke from the tip to the very root. Precum oozes out the tip and falls to the floor between us. She drops to her knees in front of me and I take the time right then to thank whatever or whoever it was that put this beautiful woman in my path.

  She sticks her tongue out and flattens it to the tip of my cock. I inhale deeply, pulling back at the contact. Her hands go around me and grab each cup of my ass, pulling me into her. Her lips wrap around me and I groan at the intense feeling of being inside her. She bobs up and down, her mouth giving me more pleasure than I know what to do with. I won’t last long being inside her like this.

  I pull away from her and draw her up into my arms.

  “Bedroom!” I demand.

  She nods down a hallway and I follow it until I see a bed through one of the open doors. She is nuzzled against me, kissing my jaw.

  I stop when I get to the bed and set her on her feet. I sit down on the bed and she’s standing right in front of me. “Undress,” I huskil
y whisper to her.

  She hesitates for a minute and then shrugs before pulling her blouse out of her skirt. She lazily unbuttons each button, until I’m almost tempted to rip the shirt off of her – buttons be damned. I grab on to my swollen cock and give it a tug as I watch her strip for me. When she is standing before me in her bra and underwear, I stand up and unfasten her bra, drawing the straps down her arms. Her large breasts weigh heavily as I palm each one of them. She has the body of a woman—a curvy, delicious, natural woman.

  I put my lips on a nipple and roll the swollen bud between my lips. Her responsiveness floors me as she moans my name with every suckle of her breast.

  She shimmies out of her underwear and my hand slides down to the juncture between her legs. My hand parts her and my finger slides along her wet, swollen center. She’s wet, oh so wet, and I know she’s ready for me.

  I shove her down to the bed and climb up on top of her, kissing a path up her body. “I’ve waited twelve weeks for this. Twelve long weeks to get inside of this sweet pussy,” I tease her as I caress my fingers across her mound. Sitting astride her, I grab my cock and line it up at her center.

  “I’m clean. And I want to breed you,” I tell her as I stroke my cock along her swollen lips.

  She gasps, “I’m clean too, but I’m on the pill. There won’t be any breeding tonight, Officer,” she admonishes me but still spreads her legs wider underneath me.

  Korie

  When he said he wanted to breed me, I swear I felt a quick flush of liquid pool at my private parts. Damn, he is so hot, I don’t even know if I can handle him, but oh, do I want to.

  I press my legs into the bed and lift my hips up to him. He slowly enters me and I gasp at the fullness. It’s been a while for me, but I don’t know if I’ve ever had anything quite this wide and long before. When he’s fully mounted, womb deep inside of me, he pulls quickly out and then thrusts back in. With each quick, deep thrust, I move farther up the bed. His fingers are caressing my hot, swollen clit and I am begging, begging him not to stop. With every thrust, he is leaning down to suck on my nipple and it comes out of his mouth with a loud pop every time he pulls back. The sensations are overloading me. I can feel him everywhere and I start rotating my hips to get closer to him.

  When he lifts my legs up higher and hits me at a different angle, I start screaming his name, because he’s reached my G spot and I am coming undone. My orgasm takes over and I have no control over my thrashing arms, convulsing pussy or the swear words coming out of my mouth.

  He groans, and his cock sprays my insides, coating me with his warm seed. For an instant, I think about him breeding me and I convulse around him again.

  When we catch our breath, he pulls gently out of me and I feel the mix of our juices slide down the crevice of my ass and coat the bed. He grabs a cloth, cleaning us both up and then tosses it into the hamper before joining me on the bed.

  He pulls the cover up over us and wraps me in his embrace.

  We both lie there quietly for a while, but I can’t stop the words from coming out of my mouth. “Now what?” Does a part of me wonder if this is it? I mean, it was a great time, but what does he want to come of this? I know what I want, but I tamp that down. I’m not going to get my hopes up.

  He pulls my chin toward him so that I have to look at him. “What do you mean, now what?”

  I shrug out of his hold and look over his shoulder. Anywhere but in his eyes. “I mean, what happens now?”

  “Well, we did this a little backwards, but I would think we would maybe go on a date soon. Or we can just get married and move in together,” he tells me plainly.

  I smack his chest. “Yeah, right. Not funny, Jase…”

  He grabs my hand and holds on to it. “Honey, I’m not joking. I knew when I first met you how I felt about you. I told you, I warned you, that when the academy was over that you would be mine. And if anything, after this, I am even more sure about my future. You are it for me. Nothing will stop this from happening, Korie.”

  He presses his lips to mine and tells me, “I love you.”

  My heart stops for just a brief moment, barely noticeable, and then it starts beating heavily in my chest. There are so many excuses or reasons of why this can’t work, but I can’t seem to think of a single one of them in this instant. “I love you, too,” I whisper against his lips.

  Epilogue

  Jase

  Three Months Later

  I knew it would all work out. I knew Korie was worried about being older than me and being my instructor, but it all worked out in the end. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve had our issues. There are times when Korie is jealous of other women, usually younger than her, paying me attention. But I make it my job to make sure she knows that she is the only woman for me. There are also times when men, young and old, hit on her, but I take over now. I don’t have her handle it anymore. And usually one look from me stops the situation in its tracks.

  I was right about my family loving her. They all do. I would have given anything for my father to have met her. He would have loved her. He would have been proud of what a strong woman she is.

  We are at a family dinner at my mom’s house. We really are rarely able to get us all together, but we were able to work it out. I made sure to tell them all how important it was that they all be here.

  The dinner goes smoothly. I know my brother and sister have things going on. Things I might need to help them with. My sister has something super secretive happening in her life. And the only reason I know is because she is never secretive. She usually shouts everything from the roof tops. And my brother and his wife have something happening. I can tell that he still loves her, but they’re hiding something. I’ve noticed the sadness in my sister-in-law’s eyes. I hope they can work it out, whatever it is. But I can’t dwell on that now. I have important matters at hand.

  We just got finished eating dinner and Mom is serving strawberry shortcake for dessert. I pour everyone a glass of wine and Korie asks me, “What are we celebrating?”

  “An engagement,” I answer her truthfully. She looks over at my sister and her face says it all. It’s definitely not her getting engaged. Korie’s gaze goes around to the rest of the table and when she finally comes back to me, I’m on bended knee beside her.

  She gasps and her hands fly up and cover her mouth. “What?”

  “Korie, I knew when I met you that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. You are the fiercest, strongest, most beautiful woman I know and I can’t imagine my life without you in it. Will you please do me the honor of becoming my wife?”

  Tears are streaming down her face, but she pulls me toward her. “Yes. Yes. Absolutely, yes,” she sobs against my mouth. I pull back from her and wipe her tears away. I can’t help but think about how lucky I am.

  Epilogue 2

  Korie

  Later That Night

  I walk out of the bathroom holding the white stick in my hand. Jase is lying in bed and his eyes fall on me as I walk into the room.

  “What’s that? Is that…?” he gasps as he jumps from the bed and hovers next to me.

  “Yes. I bought the test the other day, but I wanted to wait until we were both home before I took it.”

  “Well, what is it? What does it say?” he asks me excitedly.

  I wrap my arms around him and plant a big kiss on his lips. Pulling back, smiling at him, I tell him, “It says you are going to be a daddy.”

  He whoops and hollers, swinging me up into his arms. “I love you, Korie. You are my everything. Do you know that?”

  “I know. You’re my world too, Jase. Thank you for making me yours.”

  “That’s right, honey. You’re mine and you always will be,” he huskily whispers against my lips before lowering me to the bed and showing me just how much he really does love me.

  THE END

  The Captain

  1

  Jennifer

  Three years ago

  “Hello. I’m lo
oking for Sargeant Lincoln Johnson,” I tell the officer behind the desk.

  He looks at me curiously and asks, “Who should I tell him is here to see him?”

  “Jennifer. Jennifer Justus,” I tell him. When I first walked in here, I had pumped myself up. I was ready to handle it. Now, I’m not so sure. My fingers are tightly wrapped around the purse I’m carrying and I force myself to loosen my grip.

  The officer gets on the phone and tells Lincoln that I’m here. He hangs up and points to a door in the corner of the room. “Have a seat in that conference room. He will be right out.”

  After telling him thanks, I walk into the conference room. Thankfully it is empty. I walk around the big rectangular table and go to look out the window. The police station is on Main Street right next to the courthouse. There are several people walking by and I can’t help but think how they are going on with their lives while mine is falling apart. I have no idea how I’m going to do this, but I know that I am going to try.

  I sense that he is in the room before I hear him. I take a deep breath and straighten my shoulders, reminding myself that this is just as much his fault as it is mine.

  “Jennifer… you wanted to see me?”

  Turning around to face him, I flush just looking at him. Sargeant Lincoln is a regular at the restaurant I wait tables at. He’s always been very nice and respectable to me, usually over-tipping. And he is one of the most eligible bachelors in town. He’s beautiful. I don’t know how else to put it. He’s tall, with dark hair and the lightest blue eyes I’ve ever seen. He’s fit and built, and my heart starts beating rapidly with the memory of his hard body over mine. It may have been a month ago, but it might as well have been yesterday.
