Summary
And now you’re here, standing in the doorway of some polished, high society home, looking like sin wrapped up in tulle and pearls.
Joel wasn’t a man who spooked easy, but seeing you again, surrounded by people who had no goddamn idea what you’d let him do to you in the backseat of his truck all those months ago, knocked him on his ass harder than a sucker punch.
The recognition was damn near instant, your eyes shining just as much as the sparkly sash that read “GRAD!” in big glittery letters. The initial shock gave way to a tiny, secret smile as your gaze slid up and down his body shamelessly, like this was some kind of funny inside joke.
Joel was seconds away from turning tail, walking back down your ridiculously long driveway and getting in his truck to get the hell out of there, but then your father was walking up behind you with a big grin on his face. He clapped Joel on the shoulder roughly and introduced his “Old buddy Joel Miller from his blue-collar days!”
You were all coy smiles and wide eyes. A sugared, “It’s so nice to meet you, Mr. Miller. Thank you for coming.”
Joel is too damn old for this.

Summary
It starts slow. Sweet, almost.
Joel wanted to take you for a ride. Said it real casual—leaned against the doorframe of your bedroom looking like sin, fingers hooked in his belt loops, mouth twitching around the ghost of a smirk.
“Thought we could take the truck out,” he said, voice thick and sweet like molasses. “Get some fresh air, see the stars. What d’you think, sugar?”
You couldn’t find it in yourself to say anything but yes.

Summary
your father built the town’s church with his own hands. you were raised to wear white on easter, to memorize psalms before you even learned to ride a bike. but god never felt like love, he hung like a weight on your shoulders—the preacher’s daughter, the town’s sweetest girl, god’s little lamb.
everyone loved you. your sunday school teacher, the grocery store clerks. and joel miller. joel always kept his distance, nodded politely. he looked at you without reaching. you remember him fixing the gutters at the church, help your dad lead prayer circles.his voice was tired, but always kind. a good man. but you had your own secrets—as did everyone in town, including him.
skipping town at 18, leaving the church, you learned to cry without praying first. kissed strangers who didn’t care about your last name. returning to town a few years later, the house is emptier than you ever remembered. your father is quieter. has too much shame. and joel's still there.
but now, he keeps looking at you like he sees everything you’re trying to hide. there’s something else in his eyes than the rest of the men your dad surrounded himself with after church. and you? you’re tired of being holy.

Summary
‘It’s hard not to notice that he’s incredibly handsome, with his chiseled features and curly, dark hair, peppered with a few flecks of grey. His brown eyes scan over the room, whilst yours simply flick from his face, to his hands, and back again. You’re sure, even from a distance, you can both see the stunned look of disbelief on each others’ faces, no doubt accompanied by a quick succession of hazy, drunken, intimate memories flashing through your minds.’
Nothing could’ve prepared you, on the first day of your Master’s class, for the man who walks through the door to be him - Joel, your professor, the man who you haven’t been able to stop thinking about.

Summary
Stumbling upon Jackson was not where you meant to end up, though maybe you didn’t mean to end up anywhere. However, you certainly didn’t mean to come across Joel Miller. Joel Miller makes you question everything, including the very principles your life has been pillared around for so long.
