“I got caught up in a local fire and was asked to help out. When I saw how hard the professionals worked, their dedication, their togetherness, it felt like I’d just found my rightful path. Signed up the next day and began training. It’s brutal but exactly what I was made for.”

“It’s dangerous work, is what it is.”

“Look who’s calling the kettle black?”

“Right. You’re right.”

“I’ll admit there’s a time limit to this type of hands-on firefighting, and one day I’ll take the office supervisory job they’ve offered me more than once. But for now, I love what I do, and if I say so myself, I’m bloody good at it.”

“See. Me too.” Ana saw their road ahead and pointed. “Turn here. I get dibs on the first shower.”

When Nash caught her eye and winked, it didn’t surprise her when he made the next offer.

“We can team up and save water, right?”

“In your dreams, baby. In your dreams.”

Chapter Twenty-nine

“My dreams have come true, darling. They surely have.” Nash held Ana’s nakedness against the wall of the shower, hot water streaming down over their bodies.

She groaned at his words. “Quit being so cocky. It doesn’t suit your devout nature.”

“All due respect… I’m just saying my prayers came true.” He leaned in to kiss her and then whispered in her ear. “What made you change your mind?”

“You mean when I called you to join me?”

“Most beautiful words I ever heard.”

“Almost didn’t… call you that is. Guess talking about our jobs made me realize how dangerous life can be. Plus it didn’t hurt that the minute we walked inside, you started kissing me.”

“I love kissing you.” Pressing his nakedness against hers, he lifted her hands high against the walls of the shower and found her mouth with his… tongues dueling as they tasted each other deeply.

Their wet bodies touched in all the right places, his hardness seeking entrance, and her body turning mushy from the knowledge they’d soon be joined. Of it’s own accord, her leg lifted to wrap around his thigh, her way of giving permission for their lovemaking to hurry.

Nash knew different. He wanted these moments of their first time together to last forever. For her to experience the same passion that would soon be his. Finding the hot water an added stimulant, he searched her neck with his lips, trailing kisses to her shoulders and then her breasts, suckling, pulling, and nipping gently at the hardened tips, enjoying hearing her moans of delight.

“Nash. Now. Nash…”

Ignoring her groans, he took his time, trailing his hands down her body, caressing all the curves, searching, his fingers finding her heat, entering and watching as the woman exploded with cries and moans of shock.

Having her fall apart in his arms made him feel ten feet tall. Waiting for her tremors to subside, he continued his kissing and caressing, exploring her body, keeping her anchored in place for his pleasure.

Moments later, when she reached for him, touching and caressing, making him harder than he’d ever been before, he couldn’t take anymore. His hands lifted her bottom, encouraging her to wrap both legs around his waist this time, and he entered the hottest fire he’d ever known.

Welded together, both moving in tandem, both mesmerized while in the throes of sexual intoxication, and both writhing in their moaned ecstasy, they pleasured each other to the final explosion.

Trembling from the mind-blowing sex, forced to let her go, and with shaking hands on the wall either side of her, Nash heldhis body from falling. Then he leaned his forehead against hers and waited for his breath to slow, and his heartrate to follow.

While each endeavored to regain their equilibrium, and with his whole frame sensitized, he remained in place while the trembling subsided, and for his weak legs to strengthen where he could walk again. Seeing the woman in front of him needing his body to keep her upright, he grinned in sympathy.

“Are you as weak as I am right now?”

“Let’s just say, if you weren’t here for me to hold on to, I’d be on the floor.”

Chuckling, he searched for her lips again, but the sudden cold water made him think twice. Picking her up in his arms, he let her turn off the taps and grab a couple of towels before heading for the bedroom. On their way, she told him a secret. “Have I told you how much I like being picked up like I’m a tiny person? You’re the only man whose ever been able to do so.”

“Glad I could oblige, darling.”
