Nothing might break this.

“It’s been enjoyable, champ, however responsibility calls,” I murmured, teasing his backside lip with my tooth. I reached down and turned the now near-freezing water off.

Nolan’s breaths had been speedy and his pupils blown, his eyes observing me in marvel. “In fact, don’t let me cease you,” he breathed closely.

I opened the curtain, grabbing my towel as I turned to take yet another take a look at the attractive man in my bathe, earlier than heading to my bed room to decorate and make it to the firehouse on time.

CHAPTER 28

Dawson

“Floor management to Richards!” Gina’s harsh voice snapped me out of my daze. The scent of scorching bacon invaded my airways, reminding me it was most likely time to flip it.

“Don’t get your panties in a bunch, Corolla,” I nipped as I used the tongs to show the bacon slices, noting that they had been pretty charred on the edges.

“What’s the matter with you right this moment? I imply, don’t get me flawed, you’re not precisely the brightest crayon within the field on most days, nevertheless it’s such as you’re barely tapped into Earth right this moment.”

I sighed as I flipped the burgers on the burner subsequent to the bacon. I’d by no means been the best prepare dinner in my very own life, however on the firehouse issues had been totally different. All of us took turns doing issues, however someway I’d gotten conned into being the home chef, however I didn’t thoughts more often than not. In most methods, the firehouse was my house.

Extra house than my lonely residence, anyway. To not point out the firehouse was normally filled with my fellow firefighters on responsibility or coming off of it, so it was like I used to be all the time round household, which I liked. My brother was normally working, and when he wasn’t, he’d make the hour and a half trek to see his girlfriend for an prolonged break. For the reason that fireplace although, he’d been much more scarce, hanging round if solely to take care of the catastrophe at hand, and the minute he had a gap, he was off to spend time with the subsequent Mrs. Bradish.

I want I might have blamed my distraction on my brother’s state of affairs, however the reality of the matter was I couldn’t cease excited about Nolan.

About what had occurred between us.

I’d been 100% clear after I informed him I favored him. Hell, I kissed him after that, to be 100% clear… after which one thing loopy occurred. He kissed me again and informed me he favored me too, and that modified all the things. The spark caught, after which ravaged us each in its flames, taking us beneath. And it felt good.

It felt greater than good, truly. Being with Nolan, holding him, kissing him, tasting him… all of it felt so rattling proper. Like that’s the best way it was purported to be. And that scared me slightly bit, as a result of I’d by no means fallen for anybody in my life so quick earlier than.

Positive I’d fucked on the primary date earlier than, however I’d by no means discovered myself daydreaming about being railed by any a kind of guys, I can guarantee you.

“I’m simply… drained, that’s all,” I lied.

Gina rolled her eyes. “I scent bullshit,” she stated as she opened the bag of buns, establishing the plates. The laughter from our fellow crewmembers carried from the lounge, and I sighed. I didn’t need to get into all of it with Gina, not as a result of I didn’t belief her, however as a result of I wasn’t certain how one can clarify that I used to be falling in love with our common claims adjuster—who I’d been greater than upfront that I despised for 2 years.

I turned the burners off, strolling over to assist Gina put together the plates for the second whereas issues cooled down.

“It’s not bullshit, I simply—”

“Dawson, we’ve been working collectively longer than a lot of the assholes on this home. I do know what you’re like while you’re drained. You don’t smile from ear to ear or get a dumbass look in your eye while you want a nap. The truth is, I don’t suppose I’ve seen you smile like that because you and Cade connected.”

She had me there.

Whereas Cade and I had gotten off to a very good begin, and the intercourse was nice, issues fizzled out fairly shortly. I liked hanging out with him, and I nonetheless do, however hanging out with Cade all the time felt extra like hanging out with my highschool bestie than it did with a boyfriend. And Cade just about stated the identical factor, and we mutually agreed that being pals was most likely higher. However in these first few weeks, I used to be nonetheless using that top of recent dick, and I used to be fairly pleased.

Did that imply that Nolan would fizzle out too?

After the haze of recent dick wore off, would he get tired of me and resolve we’d be higher off as… pals?

God, I hoped not. To be sincere, I wasn’t certain if I might return to the best way issues had been earlier than with Nolan, not now that I’d tasted him and let him into my coronary heart and my mattress. No, there was no method I might return to hating Nolan, and there was no method I might simply fake he wasn’t the most popular fucking nerd on the planet.

“Yeah, properly… folks change,” I stated gruffly as I laid the cheese out on the burgers.

“Whoever he’s, so long as he’s good to you and never an asshole—” She narrowed her eyes at me, making me really feel on the spot.

“I don’t know what you’re speaking about,” I spat, regardless that I did.

My relationships had been far and few between, however I had garnered one thing of a popularity for the string of assholes I’d collected through the years. Assholes who wished nothing greater than to get fucked by Mr. March, or get their firefighter fantasies out of their system.
