Cuff Me

Time passed quickly with Caleb and Trent, and the food Trent had made was simply delicious. They could make me laugh easily, but their heartbreaking stories from the field also made me sad. They had been through a lot, risking their lives each time they responded to the emergency calls, and I admired their strength and bravery. I’d never thought much about firefighters, but now that I’d met the two of them, I had to admit they were real life heroes.

Both of them were so humble about it, not giving themselves any credit, but the truth was that if they hadn’t been there the last night, people would have been killed. My heart throbbed painfully, and a new wave of guilt rushed through me. What had I done? And was there anything I could do to fix this life changing mistake?

“Why did you decide to become firefighters?” I asked them, taking a sip from my third glass of wine. I was slightly buzzed, feeling like the time with them was passing too quickly.

“I became a firefighter after I saved a woman one night. I was in my car, on my way home, when I spotted a burning vehicle on the road. There was no one around, and there was no time to wait for the firefighters since she was trapped and seconds away from getting burned alive.”

“Oh God.”

I shuddered, trying to imagine how horrible that experience must have been for that lady. After experiencing it myself, I knew how scary it was to be surrounded with the hot walls of fire that kept closing in on you and you literally had seconds to get away from it before you turned into ashes. My fault, that was my fault. Ugh.

“I managed to open the driver’s door and get her out before the flames inflicted more serious injuries to her. She had some minor burns, but luckily they were nothing serious.”

“You were so brave, Caleb. Not many people would know what to do in that situation.”

“Yeah, well, I told myself not to panic and to focus on the task at hand. After that I figured out that was what I wanted to do. I wanted to help people, so I joined the brigade several weeks later.”

“That’s an amazing story. How about you, Trent?”

“I’d always wanted to be a firefighter. My uncle is a firefighter, so I grew to love this since I was a kid. There is nothing better than helping people in need, and I’m an adrenaline junkie so it was a plus.”

I cocked my head to the side, smiling at him. “An adrenaline junkie? I never thought that some people actually enjoyed risking their lives like this.”

He laughed sheepishly. “Well, when you put it that way it does sound a bit weird, but it’s what helps me get the work done.”

“Hey, I’m not judging or anything. I think that’s nice and different. Different is good.”

“How about you? What is your passion?” Caleb asked me and I sighed.

“I want to be a teacher.”

“Why do you make such a sad face when you say that?”

“It’s because I haven’t gone to college yet, you know? I want to, but I still don’t have enough money...” I stopped, deciding this dinner wasn’t a good time to spill out all my life problems. “Anyway, I’ll start college soon and then I can finally pursue my dreams.”

It seemed that they understood I didn’t want to talk about the hurdles in my life. “Why do you want to be a teacher?” Trent asked me.

“Just like you two, I like helping people, I like teaching people. I think education is the most important thing in the world. It’s the basis for everything, and I love transferring my knowledge to young minds.”

Trent took my hand into his, leaning toward me over the table. His eyes burned into me, awaking my desire instantly. “That’s amazing, Bree. I’m sure you’ll be a great teacher.”

I bit my lip. “You think?”

“Absolutely.”

Caleb, who was sitting next to me, came closer to me and put his hand on my thigh, and my pussy clenched, hungry for his touch. I was surprised by the sudden contact, unable to say a word as I waited for their next move.

“I think the same. Hell, what I would give to be your student.” Caleb’s breath caressed my earlobe, and my breathing became uneven. “I wouldn’t even be able to focus on the lecture with you in front of me.”

“Really?” I whispered, shock ebbing slowly into pure desire.

Trent stood up and sat on the chair next to me. He put his hand on my other thigh, and I grew breathless, my heart racing like crazy. I was hypersensitive now, staring at one spot on the table as their breaths traveled down my neck, their hands dangerously close to the hem of my dress. I couldn’t believe this was happening to me, but the most confusing thing was that I didn’t want them to stop. Not at all.

“Really,” Caleb murmured into my ear, his lips grazing my sensitive skin.

I let a small moan out and squirmed on my chair. What was happening to me? All of a sudden, I was completely turned on, and I needed them both.

Both. Two guys. At once. Holy hell.
