(KD) The Sheriff's Daughter

Kayce gets arrested and his girlfriend bails him out where he learns who her father actually is.

Exiting my father's office in the police station I rushed over to my boyfriend Kayce who had two officers standing in front of him. I had gotten a phone call from him being arrested at the local bar. Lowering myself onto my knees in front of him I take his hands in mine where they left me alone with him. "Leave us alone, officers...Kayce tell me what happened."

"Glad I am a terrible father Y/n. Monica and I...had a fight about my son...wanting to. To be like me when he grows up." He slurred his words and I could smell alcohol on his breath. "You're...so...beautiful."

Nodding my head at him I got up getting him some water and a bucket since he looked like he was about to puke. "Thank you, Kayce. You're not a bad father - oh there you go." He bent over in the chair where I handed him the bucket and he threw up some until he laid his head back sobering up some after that.

Brushing his brown curly hair from his eyes I sent him a sympathy look knowing he wouldn't normally get like this unless it was a really bad fight. He tilted his head to the side finally looking at me. "How did you get here so fast...Are you working part time here or something?" He asked me slowly taking sips of his water.

Instead of answering him I just silently stared at the young Dutton. Kayce and I had started dating shortly after he divorced from his wife Monica and they got joined custody of their son Tate. But I didn't tell him exactly who my father was because after I did every other relationship got awkward for me. Yet I couldn't hide it when the sheriff office door opened where I saw my father coming towards us. "Sweetheart, you can leave us now. I need to speak with Mr. Dutton here."

"Sweetheart...wait I don't understand." Kayce knitted his brows together beginning to sober up more when he shifted his gaze between the sheriff and me. "Is he your father?"

Dropping my gaze to the floor I didn't answer him since my father already stepped in between us when I rose to my feet away from him. "Mr. Dutton, I don't know what is going on here. But I have a job to do. Now you we're driving way over the normal influence-"

"Daddy wait." I blurted out making my father sheriff Haskell look back at me. "Please don't charge him. He didn't hurt anybody on the road and the bartender should have taken his key's before he left. So it should be the bartender's fault not his."

My father stepped towards me where our eyes locked onto one another. "I'll let him off the hook just this once since John wouldn't be happy to bail his son out."

"Thank you, daddy - uh I mean Sheriff Haskell." I corrected myself since some of his officers and the others who were spending the night in jail could hear us.

My father nodded walking back towards his office shutting the door behind him. "I'd suggest telling that boy the truth. I know why you didn't tell him. But he deserves to know...take him home and I'll pick you up in the morning."

Shifting my gaze back to Kayce he ran a hand through his natural curls leaning back in his chair trailing off in shock. "Why Y/n. Why didn't you think you could tell me that you're freaking father was Sheriff Donny Haskell."

"To avoid the exact situation we're having now and the expression you're giving me." Shoving my hands into my jacket pockets I blurted out to the rancher.

Kayce raised a hand but he dropped it back into his lap. "I don't understand - why don't you want me looking at you like this because this is a pretty big deal."

"Because Kayce I've seen it every time I date someone and they find out. Our whole relationship changes and they start  acting differently. Like I understand they don't want to get in trouble with the law. But I...I was just afraid the same thing would happen if you found out. Now that it has...I hate to think that we won't make it like my other ex boyfriend's...cause I really really like you Kayce Dutton." Throwing my hands up into my hair I paced back and forth in front of him letting some nervous tears slip down my face.

Kayce quickly rose to his feet causing me to halt in my tracks staring at him. He strides forward closing the gap between us cupping my face in his hands kissing me. "I would never break up with you because of who you're father is. And any man who has done that is a dumbass."

"Kayce, you're not joking with me right?" Moving my hands against his chest I gasped still dazed from the kiss.

He rested his forehead against mine still holding my face in his fingers. "I'm not joking, darling. I really like being with you too. Regardless of you being the sheriff's daughter."

Leaning up on my toes I pressed my lips up onto his. Wrapping my arms around his neck I moaned into it when one of his hands tugged through my hair. "We should get you home before we got any further or my dad won't be happy to see us kissing." I warned him when I felt his other hand going underneath my shirt with his hand resting on my bare back.

"Yeah you're probably right. I'm just sorry I can't take you out for our date like we talked about." Kayce nodded in agreement kissing my forehead with a kind smile.

Taking his hand in mine I lead him outside to his truck once he handed me the keys. "Don't worry I know you'll make it up to me later." I sent him a wink lightly blushing with a smirk knowing he knew what I was getting at.

"Oh you bet your boots, Y/n. I think it time I take you out to the summer camp..for a weekend getaway." He climbed in the passenger seat watching me drive where he sends me a wink back removing his hat from his head just holding it.

When we finally got home I barely got out of the truck before he scopped me up in his arms placing his black cowboy hat on my head when I squealed. "Ah Kayce!"

"You're under arrest for being far too adorable the whole night." He teased me kicking open the front door and he carried me upstairs stumbling a little on the way since he still had some alcohol in his system.

Once we reached his room, he gently threw me onto the bed, ditching his black and white flannel shirt when he crawled above me. "And you're under arrest for making your girlfriend have to bail your ass out." I pocked him in the middle of his chest but I was grinning ear to ear the whole time.

"Well I know a way to make it up to her..." He leans down capturing his lips down onto mine slowly. Threading my fingers into his locks he moaned when I tugged on some of them. "Mmm...I love you."

Breaking the kiss I slowly shrugged my shirt over my head knowing we had a long night ahead of us not that I was complaining though. "I love you too." I mumbled back moving my hands to the back of his neck drawing him down in for another kiss that quickly became passionate.
