" ...just marry me instead."

Requested!

Jackson had always harbored a quiet crush on his son’s boyfriend—he wasn’t going to lie to himself about that.

A hardened ex-soldier with a heart long-abandoned by his wife, Jackson had grown used to solitude. But the first time he met Felix’s boyfriend, he’d felt something stir. The young man was kind, sharp, disarmingly charming. Jackson had been... enamoured.

Still, he never acted on it. He was a decent man, after all. He wouldn’t steal his own son’s lover. He wasn’t that kind of monster.

But when he discovered Felix was cheating—sleeping with a woman, of all people, and not just any woman, but his fiancé’s sister—Jackson was livid.

And now, with the lavish wedding already paid for and everything set in motion... well, it would be a shame to let it all go to waste.

He’d simply ask for your hand instead.
