Page 95 of Unhinged Kallie

Cain’s eyes roamed over my torn shirt, then my open jeans with my now limp and terrified cock hanging out.

Why I felt compelled to say anything was beyond me, but I opened my mouth.

“It’s cold,” I said.

Cain smirked and pointedly glanced down again. “I sure hope that’s the reason,” he said, and I wanted to punch myself in the face. Did he just cock shame me? What the hell was happening right now?

“Dad,” Kallie growled. “Seriously?”

Cain shook his head, cutting off whatever complaint Kallie had.

He pushed my swinging body out of the way and reached for the bench. There was a hammer, a drill, and a saw sitting out, and he grabbed the drill. I held my breath to see if he would use that on me. I wasn’t sure which would be worse and immediately pictured him shoving the drill tip up my cock and turning it on.

He let my body swing back into position and stared up at me, his brows pulled tight in concentration, and it was as if both Kallie and I were holding our breath to see what would happen next.

“Those are good knots, great work,” he said.

“Thanks…Dad,” Kallie said, holding her jacket closed over her body.

My mouth fell open as he turned and walked away. What the fuck?

Cain stopped when he reached the barn door and looked back. “Are you planning on marrying my daughter?”

Using my toes, I spun myself around to face him.

“Yes, Sir. I’m in love with Kallie. She has my whole heart. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for her. She is part of my soul.” This was not how I imagined this talk happening. Not in a million years could I have predicted this, and I would’ve lost a bet if I’d taken one.

“Okay.”

Just like that, the door closed, and he was gone. What in the ever-loving fucking shit was that? Had I passed out from the cold and woke up in an alternate reality? Okay? Just Okay? I’d spent my entire life being terrified of hugging her, and all he had to say was okay.

“I wasn’t expecting that,” Kallie said, and I swung around to stare at her. Shrugging, she looked up at me and smiled. “I prefer black diamonds.”

“What the fuck,” were the only words I could think to say.

Chapter Thirty-Six

KALLIE

SPRING BREAK

Nothing could ruin my mood. I’d taken a few days off to go with Carter to see the complex in Florida, and we’d made the most of the time alone. Now we got to spend another week together. Thinking of moving away from the farm and my dad hurt because I didn’t want him to be alone, but I also needed to live my own life. Yet, I couldn’t help feeling like I was abandoning him after graduation.

I thought that after what happened in the barn, Carter would get in his car and drive far away, but I was wrong. After the initial shock, he seemed more relaxed than ever.

He was back at the farm studying while I went on my little mission. I told him it would be better if he didn’t know all the details. He looked like he was going to argue until he found out Troy was coming with me.

I glanced at Troy as we drove down the dark back country road. He looked so eerily like my dad, right down to his tight jaw. This had to be what my dad looked like at eighteen.

“Thank you for helping me,” I said, and Troy turned his head to look at me. “Once I realized it was her and her husband in on it, I knew I couldn’t do it alone.”

“You didn’t have to follow her around for months. I could’ve told you exactly what Mrs. Peterson does.”

“Do I want to know how you know?”

“I fucked her while her husband wasn’t home. The third time, he showed up and caught us, but it seemed…staged. He was ranting and raving and said he would ruin my football career if I didn’t pay them money. He said he suspected the affair and had cameras installed. He even played some of the footage. Honestly, it was a terrible angle. I fuck much better than the camera showed.” I bit my tongue to keep myself from laughing or gagging. I couldn’t decide which one I wanted to do more. “Anyway, I noticed Carol kept looking at the camera with tears running down her cheeks like she was in pain. It was then that I realized it wasn’t just the blackmailing scheme right now. It was a two-parter.”

“How so?”
