Because I was born and raised in Heart Falls, Montana, I’ve barely left the state but when the chief presented o to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for a fire safety conference, I ju in the irl ofto learn the latest techniques and bring them back to the station

I arten and he was in preschool Even though he’s a year younger thanon my left in the aisle seat, but it’s who’s in theseat that has captured h she doesn’t know it yet The more time I spend with her feisty ass, the more I fall in love with her She’s asleep as well, her head resting on theI get to stare at her unhindered and I relish in it

Devyn McCalluo From the first th dark hair shines bright when the sun hits it exactly right Her whiskey colored eyes are always bright and shining Her cheeks are always just a little flushed whenever I talk to her Her heart shaped face is sprinkled with adorable freckles She has these thick, perfect, kissable, bow shaped lips I crave her on a level that I didn’t knoas possible She is perfect for me in every way I wanted to claim her that very first second, but unfortunately, she started her probationary status while Chief Sanders was still in charge He had a strict no fraternization policy a the crew and I refused to jeopardize her career just because I needed her like I needed oxygen

Just because I couldn’t have her yet doesn’t mean I didn’t stop every man in town I made it quite known that I wouldn’t hesitate to kill anyone who even talks to her I knohat true love looks like My parents have been married for thirty-two years and show each other every day how randparents also led by exaer, I made the conscious decision to only ever sleep with the woman that will be my wife Dee is that woman

Now that Gunner is chief, he has no such rule and I have been working hard towill be perfect forher ho for her I even went so far as to use et her contact infor other than ahead I asked for his per, we talked for about an hour, after which he gave his pers and picked out the perfect ring for her A two carat, square cut diaant because I want her to be able to wear it with her fire gear

I ahts when her head delicately drops onto my shoulder Her hand touches my elbow and she mumbles in her sleep

“Jasp, please,” she whispers but doesn’t wake up My heart soars at the thought of her drea about me My cock, on the other hand, hardens like it never has before I breathe in the scent of her shampoo It smells like coconuts and sunshine She smells like summer

“Ladies and gentle our descent into sunny Myrtle Beach The terees and the local time is noon Please fasten your seatbelts and return your seat trays to your upright and locked positions Thank you for flying with Air Regal” She stayed perched on ht until the captain started speaking

“Sorry, Jasper I

“No proble the hand that is still on htens her seatbelt before wringing her hands in her lap “You don’t like landing either, do you?” I ask, reripped the arht she’d break them

“I really don’t I prefer to drive everywhere,” she says, s weakly at me

“You’re doing so good, Dee,” I tell her, reassuringly

“Thanks, Jasper You’re a good friend”

“Friend?” I growl Like being her friend even remotely covers what I feel for her

“Okay, co-worker, then,” she says looking defeated Damn it That was not my intention at all I hate that I’ve made her sad
