Page 24 of Dangerous Desires
Jet stepped forward, “Just a minute. I would never use her. Ever.”
Harrison crossed his arms over his chest and raised his eyebrow, “I had time to think it over and I don’t like it. It’s too fast. And you aren’t that old Farren. You should date more and see what is out there.”
Jet held back a growl. “She isn’t dating anyone.”
Farren stepped out from under his arm, “You are being such an asshole Harrison. I’m not going to go out and date a bunch of douchebags when I know that Jet is the man for me. I have never wanted that. And I wouldn’t want anyone but Jet. And for you to sit here and act like a complete asshole to the man I love is not okay. You don’t get to dictate my life. Ever. End of discussion. If I want to marry Jet tomorrow, I will. And you don’t have a single say in it at all. I will do what I want with him, when I want because I’m agrown fuckingwomanand am in charge of my own life. So, if you can’t get that, then this is goodbye. I don’t need someone to come in here and take over my life because you don’t like how I live it. Jet is the best man there is. He treats me like a queen, and I couldn’t do any better than him. So kindly fuck off and we are staying at Jet’s now. Peace.”
Harrison tried to say something, and she held up her hand, “Nope. You lost your chance to talk to me when you talked to me like that. Fuck you Harrison.”
Then she walked out of the room and Jet and Harrison both looked after her in shock.
“Fuck. I’m an idiot.”
Jet folded his good arm over his chest, “You are. Farren knows what she is doing. You may think it’s fast, but I guarantee it’s not. I have been waiting for her my entire life.”
Harrison dropped his arms, “I just feel like it’s fast.”
Jet shrugged, “You can feel that way, but Farren and I don’t. The second I saw her I knew she was mine. The literal second. It hit me like a ton of bricks. And yet, I embraced it like I never did anything before. I’m old enough to know what I want in my life and it’s Farren. No other woman has ever turned my head. No one has ever made me want to chain her to my bed and by my side for the rest of my life. I have seen a lot. And not once has this happened. Farren is my girl. My freaking universe. I live and breathe for andonlyher. Be happy for us or don’t, but just know that I’m making her mine and I’m not going to stop until she has my ring on her finger, a baby in her belly and my last name as hers.”
Then Jet walked out of the kitchen and saw Farren standing there with a suitcase.“You really mean all of that?”
He nodded, “Of course babe. I meant every fucking word.”
She smiled and kissed him. Harrison came out of the kitchen and Farren went stiff in Jet’s arms.
Harrison ran a hand over the back of his neck, “Listen. I was over the line. And I’m sorry.”
Jet looked down at Farren and she finally looked at Harrison, “I’m tired of this you know. I know dad told you to keep me safe and keep an eye on me, and you all did that with a soul purpose. And I allowed it because I didn’t want those guys that slept with anyone that had a pussy. I was okay to be protected from that. I was truly happy with how you all treated me and I am grateful I didn’t go through the issues I know a lot of the girls in my school did. But, that was then and this is now. I’m an adult. I met the one man I know is meant to be mine and I don’t want to apologize for that. I don’t want to have you freak out just because our relationship is moving faster than you would choose for one to move. I don’t care though. Life is too short to waste on dating and making sure that they are the right person. IknowJet is the right person. Deep in my heart and soul I know. And I want to be with him. Not later.Now.I have a good job; a good life and I want to share it with the man I love. And if you can’t get on board with it, then I need to take a break for a while. I love you, Harrison. I really do. You are my big brother and I know you only have my best intentions at heart, but do you really think I would do anything with anyone who wasn’t worthy of me or my love? Nope. Jet is the man I have longed to find. He will always put me first and you may ask how I know this? It’s because it’s just who he is. And I want that. Ineedthat. Can you be okay with who I chose?”
Harrison nodded, “I can. I’m sorry. For everything. I didn’t mean to hurt you. Either of you. It’s just fast and I worry that he was going to hurt you. But I know now that I was so wrong. I guess that it’s normal around the people we know. Gunner did it. As did Raiden and I know Steele did too. I don’t know why I’m so shocked it could happen that quickly. It’s just that you are my little sister and I never expected anyone to come in and sweep you off your feet. I guess I was wrong.”
Farren walked over to him, “You have to let me live now. You did good and I love you. But yes. You are wrong. I’m happy with Jet and always will be.”
Harrison nodded and hugged Farren. “Don’t go to Jet’s. Okay. Stay here and I will cook dinner for you. I would like to get to know Jet as my soon to be brother.”
Farren looked over at him and he nodded.She let out a breath. “Fine. One night.”
Harrison kissed the top of her head and let her go. Then he held out his hand to Jet and Jet shook it.
“I really am sorry for doubting you. I know you man. You are a good guy. A little quiet and reserved, but a good guy and I let my pride and my fears get the best of me.”
Jet nodded, “I understand. I know if Aria ever gets married, I’m not going to be okay with it. So I understand where you are coming from.”
Harrison laughed, “She is so adorable that I would start worrying now.”
Jet shook his head, “It’s a good thing I’m a retired SEAL. I know how to make a person disappear. And get away with it. I know how to fly after all.”
Harrison barked out a startled laugh and they walked into the kitchen, and he pulled out some ingredients.He started cooking and they sat down at the counter. Jet looked over at Farren, and she smiled. He wrapped his arm around her, and she leaned against him. Harrison stopped what he was doing for a second and Jet kissed Farren’s head. Harrison smiled and went back to cooking. He made them a delicious dinner and they talked and laughed. Jet noted that as the night wore on that Farren was less tense and she was smiling freely.
Harrison also slowly started to smile more and by the time they cleaned up the kitchen, it was as if their fight hadn’t happened. Jet looked out the window and saw the snow falling in huge flakes and sticking to the ground. He looked over at Harrison and he nodded, “Stay here. It is supposed to snow overnight, and I know Farren would worry.”
She nodded, and he kissed her. “I will sleep on the couch.”
She started to protest, but he held up his hand. “It’s not a big deal babe. I know Harrison doesn’t feel super comfortable with it. It’s not a big deal.”
Farren pouted and then nodded, “Fine. Just for tonight.”
He kissed her again and she walked into her room and shut the door. Harrison lifted his hand and ran it over the back of his neck.
