CHAPTER THIRTEEN

The sun was high in the sky as Trent squinted down the barrel of his rifle. He could feel the heat on his back, the dry dust beneath his boots, and the familiar weight of the weapon in his hands. The ranch shooting range spread out before him, a testament to their father Dwight’s love for friendly competition.

Before Duke and Chuck had got together with their Littles, the three of them had met every week, without fail, to shoot. It had been months though, since they’d enacted this shared tradition. It had taken nagging from Duke to get them all together.

“Alright, boys,” Duke drawled, flashing them a grin, “let’s see if you’ve still got it.”

Trent took a deep breath, steadying himself as he aimed at the target in the distance. He pulled the trigger, and the gunshot echoed across the open land. A satisfying thunk confirmed his shot had found its mark.

“Ho-ly shit! Doctor Death never misses,” Chuck called out, clapping him on the shoulder. “Now let’s see what I can do.”

Trent stepped aside, watching as his older brother took his place at the firing line. As Chuck prepared to shoot, Trent couldn’t help but get lost in his thoughts. Ever since he’d disciplined Patti for hiding her idea the other day, he couldn’t shake a nagging feeling of worry. Had he been too hard on her? Was he jeopardizing their relationship? Was he acting the way a good Daddy Dom should act?

His brother’s gunshot pulled him out of it.

“Fuck,” Chuck said, as his bullet whipped past the target.

Duke chuckled, and said something, but Trent was still thinking about Patti. He should have had sex with her. He shouldn’t have spanked her. He furrowed his brow as the doubt grew.

“Trent?” Duke barked. “Did you hear?”

Trent looked up at Duke. “Sorry, brother, I just…”

“Jesus, Trent, could you just be present, for once? We haven’t seen you in god knows how long, and now you’re here… well, you’re not.”

“Sorry,” Trent said. “It’s just… you know, I’ve got a lot on my plate at the moment.”

“It’s healthy to take a break from work, though,” Chuck said, calmly. “Helps the quality of your work in the long run.”

It took Trent a moment to realize that Chuck was talking about the cryptosporidium outbreak.

“R-right,” he said. “Exactly. It’s a lot of work.”

“Well, this should take your mind off work.” Chuck sighed, heavily. “Duke, I already mentioned this to Trent, but I wanted to speak to you together about it, too. I… think I’m going to ask Millie to marry me. Once things calm down a little at the ranch.”

Duke slapped him on the back, his grin almost matching his brother’s. “Well, I’ll be damned! Congratulations, Chuck. It’s about time!”

Trent forced a smile, trying to share in their joy. But his mind was still elsewhere, consumed by thoughts of Patti and the delicate balance between discipline and support in their blossoming relationship. He could feel the weight of guilt pressing down on him, the fear that he had been too hard on her and would ultimately ruin what they had.
