Volunteer Assistant Fire Chief Brendan Miles had been sick for the past few days. Being a dispatcher for his job, he was constantly exposed to everyone's flu bug. At the age of 31, he thought that he could bounce back from everything. This flu bug, however, had other ideas for him. Brendan had been flat on his back in his bed for several days. "What a way to spend my days off," he mumbled as he slowly made his way to the bathroom. Shower. "Maybe a shower will help." His smoky blue eyes seemed a bit dull. He wondered if he could be able to hold himself up the shower.
A pot of water began to boil on the stove for some peppermint tea. He had been told it would help settle his upset stomach and with the nausea. He hadn't been able to keep anything down, with the exception of the Gaterade and water. He shivered as the water rolled off his 6'4" frame. Turning the water to HOT, he began to wash his brush cut, caramel brown hair. He realized his arms weren't as weak as he'd thought. "Yes! I get to shave!" he yelled out in happiness.
The shower made him feel a little better; maybe as if he could actually eat something. He stepped out and wrapped a hunter green terry cloth towel around his sexy waist, covering his nice butt. He frowned at himself as he finished shaving. "Okay, I really need to drop a few pounds," he said as he wiped the rest of the shaving cream off his face. He ran his fingers over his now smooth skin.
Slipping back into sweatpants and a t-shirt, he heard the water boiling over. Running into the kitchen, he pulled the pot off the burner. He didn't exactly want to be known as the assistant fire chief who burned his own house down. He shuddered to think of the nicknames that would be bestowed upon him, as the fire service was cruel like that.
He settled into his recliner as the tea bag began to release its sweet, old age remedy. There was a knock on the door. Upon opening it, he saw the newest 22-year-old member to their tiny fire department. If given permission by their chiefs, they allowed the college students to assist them in fighting fires.
Katie smiled as he opened the door wider. "Hi, Brendan. Are you feeling any better?" she asked as she shifted the homemade chicken soup into the crook of her arm. Brendan smiled as he looked her up and down: gray drawstring pants that conformed to her tight ass very nicely, a tight "blaze red" tank top that had a low scoop neck and showed off her very full, nicely rounded chest. Her sandals were muddy from the walk up his driveway. She had just touched up her toenail polish with a spring, pastel color. Her reddish brown hair that was cut in layers flowed around her shoulders. Her soft brown eyes showed concern for him.
He stepped aside and let her in. Brendan stole a glance of her curvy bottom with a smile. Katie stood up and put her delicate hand to his forehead. "You seem to be lowering your fever," she commented. She helped him back to the recliner. She draped a blanket over his legs as Brendan relaxed, inhaling the peppermint smell. Katie smiled as she caught a whiff of it. "I see you took my advice," she said as she winked.
Brendan smiled and took a sip. "Yes, I did; and it's actually working," he said, sounding a little surprised.
Katie rested her hand on top of his. "Are you feeling any stronger?" she asked. Brendan nodded as he cocked his head against the chair. She felt her heart leap at his smile. He had full, kissable lips. She thought she might be blushing. "Ummm," she stuttered, searching for words to keep the conversation going. "So, I see you took a shower. You smell great. What body wash is that?"
Brendan smiled and curled his kissable lips into a smile. "What else would I use? Irish Spring, of course," he said as he glanced quickly at her full, rounded chest. Quickly bringing his eyes up to hers, he said, "Do you want any tea?"
Katie nodded. "Sure. I'll make it. You sit back and relax. You need to get better," she said as she, jokingly, kissed him on the forehead.
Brendan called out, "You make a great mother. You know that?"
Katie shuddered at that comment, for she knew that would be a little odd because of the sexual desire she had for him. She called out, "Mother, huh? I'm only twenty-two."
Brendan corrected himself from the living room. "How about 'concerned wife', then?" Katie smiled as she licked her lips.
"That's better, I guess," she said as she joined him in the living room.
Brendan smiled at her and nodded. Katie recognized this silence. "Ummm," she began, "have you washed your sheets yet? You'll just keep getting yourself sick over and over again," as she got up and walked to the room. Brendan followed her with his smoky blue eyes, focusing on her curvy bottom.
In his bedroom, Katie began to nervously strip his sheets off his bed. She even tossed some of his pillows into the washer. She heard Brendan walk down the hallway and stop behind her. She felt her pulse rise. She had the biggest crush on him for the past few years; only she tried very hard to hide it. A few times, she thought she saw him checking her out while she was rolling up hose, but she was never quite sure.
She felt Brendan place his big, strong hands around her shoulders. "You take such good care of people," he whispered into her ear. A small sigh escaped her lips as she curled them into a smile. She let her head fall gently backwards, finally resting it on the front of his shoulder. She wondered what it would feel like to be rolling in bed with him for a sexually blissful night.
Quickly she opened her eyes and stepped away from him. She smiled coyly and said, "What are you doing out of that chair, Mr. Miles?" She gently led him back to the living room and set him in the chair. His smoky blue eyes never left hers.
She tucked her hair behind her ears. "How about something to eat?" she asked. "I made you some chicken soup." Brendan nodded his head and agreed. Before Katie could pull away, Brendan pressed his full, kissable lips to hers. She almost melted from the heat of his kiss. He placed his hands on the side of her face. Katie was locked in his kiss and loving every moment of it.
When Brendan pulled away, he noticed her fair Irish skin had a bit of a blush to it. She smiled, finally, "B-B-Brendan," she stuttered. He smiled as he pulled her to himself. "Yes?" he asked with anticipation. Katie drew a breath in and said, "I hope I don't get sick from your cooties."
Brendan gave an exacerbated sigh and rolled his eyes. Katie was in a bit of shock. Brendan cocked his head to the side. "Katie? What kind of statement was that? I just gave you the hottest kiss I've ever given a woman and you say something like that?"
Katie blushed even more. "But Brendan ... you're not supposed to have a crush on me. That's not how things work with me," she reasoned. Brendan stood up and placed his strong hands on her hips and curved them around to her bottom. He pressed her hips close to his ... as close as they could be. Katie stood only five feet, four inches. Brendan towered over her by one full foot. Katie glanced shyly up at him. "Damn. You're a big boy," she smiled as she wrapped her hands around his butt. Brendan snickered as he lowered his head and began to kiss her neck slowly.
Her legs felt weak. "Brendan," she sighed as she surrendered to his kiss. He tightened his grip on her to keep her upright. Finally, Brendan picked her up into his arms. Katie gasped. "Brendan! Your back! Put me down!" she pleaded out of concern. He smiled as he carried her out of the living room. Katie tried again. "Brendan! You're sick! Please! I don't want you to make yourself sicker or throw your back out."
Brendan carried her into the bedroom. "Katie, hush, hunny," he pleaded as he placed his lips on hers. He gently laid her back onto the sheetless bed.
A few more passionate kisses made her say, "Oh, Brendan." She smiled at him, his eyes reflecting the moonlight from the window.
He slowly ran his hands over her body. She smiled at this. His fingers seem to find the perfect spots on her. He slowly crept his fingers up under her tank top.
He kissed her and said, "I'll be right back." He left the room and left her wondering what was happening. She giggled as she bounced on the bed. Brendan Patrick Miles just kissed me! she thought. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard his scanner go off with a series of beeps.
"Tree Port fire monitors, Tree Port Rescue ... for the confirmed structure fire." The Dispatcher began to relay the address. Brendan came running back in wearing his firefighting gear: black Nomex bunker pants and a white Nomex bunker jacket with the word "CHIEF" on the back. Lunging at the pager, he grabbed it off the charger.
Katie grabbed him by the elbow. "Where do you think you're going?" she asked with a demand in her voice. "You're not well enough to go fight a fire!" Brendan set the pager back down and realized she was right. Instead, he glanced out the window and saw the fire was just across the street from his house and down the sloping road a bit.
He sat on the bed mesmerized by it. Katie crawled up to the foot of his bed and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. She whispered, "You like it, don't you? That kind of turns you on, huh?" in a bit of a naughty tone.
