Moments later Kait was screaming out my name in body shaking orgasm. I flexed my cock and in turn her pussy crushed it. On the cusp of coming my body was compelled to pull out and spray all over her back. I took her hips in my hand and pushed deeper instead.
I buried my seed as far into her as possible, if only because I could and because we both wanted it. I gripped her milky, naked skin for support as the aftershocks threatened to unravel me.
For a short while it felt like the tremors would start in me then reverberate in her and vice versa. I had never felt that connected to another human being before.
“That was— Wow.” Kait was panting and groaned when I eventually pulled out. “Are you trying to give our baby a sibling?”
“Why not?” I smiled, slumping against the wall, exhausted. “You wanted to stop at just one?”
We cleaned up, dressed and made our way to the couch in the lounge. Our fire house was small so our lounge only consisted of one couch, a card table and a TV. It was fine enough for the two of us.
My stomach growled loud enough for both us to pause in our conversations about how drastically our lives were going to change. “Before rocking my world with news of kid and then with other things... You were on your way over here with food, right?”
Before she could answer, another call came in over the radio looking for available trucks for fire in the city. I mostly ignored it. All the real firefighters were still taking care of that five-alarm in the industrial district.
The address of the blaze was repeated and this time I caught it like a slug to the chest.
It was the same place Brendan and Drew were on their way to when they left here. Whatever happened at that apartment building had gotten a lot worse if it was now on fire.
So what? I wasn't a cop and I didn't have so much as a ladder truck here. What was I going to do?
A dark thought raced through my mind. Brendan would never accept me or this child as a part of his family. If something happened to him in that fire all my problems would magically go away.
“Shit,” I grumbled. I wasn't that guy. I couldn't live with myself if I did nothing and he was hurt or killed. I was pissed at him, but Kait had already lost her father and she didn't deserve to lose her brother too.
I thought of my unborn child, how would they view me if they knew that I ignored this call? I didn't know what I was going to do, but I knew I was going to do something.
“What is it?” Kait cocked her head at me inquisitively. The red hue that filtered down from the warning lights overhead made her positively glow with beauty.
My body ached for me to stay and take her again. And again.
“Your brother,” I said. “He might be in trouble.” My old military instincts began kicking in and taking over. Just because I wasn't in the service anymore didn't mean I stopped being a marine. “Help me grab a few things.”
Chapter 14
Kait
This was very bad.
The flames that flared out of the top of the three story building were visible from several blocks away. The darkened sky was a smoky haze of bright yellows and oranges, it looked like the sun was setting again, but only behind this single building. When Mal told me which building it was all my insides twisted into knots.
The Washington plaza apartment complex was three stories and roughly the size of a city block. The one time I had gone there to visit a few friends I was appalled by the state of the building. The worst part, and the first thing that came to mind in this situation, was the lack of functioning fire exits.
It was owned by a notorious slum lord and even he was trying to get rid of the place. Despite dozens of safety citations against the complex, the city hadn't gotten around to condemning it, probably because it was low income housing. Between the general decay and lack of maintenance, everyone knew that this building was one bad day away from becoming a funeral pyre.
Please let Brendan not be in there....
There was a small army of police officers, ambulances, media and curious on-lookers, but not one fire truck. They were all still tied up across town. I spotted Captain Demoe right away, he was on the phone screaming at some poor soul. I scanned for Brendan, but couldn't find him anywhere. Now I was getting really worried.
Mal rode us right up to the police barricade, which primarily consisted of a line of parked cruisers and crowd control officers between them. I jumped off and rushed toward the captain. Most of the cops knew me so I didn't have a problem getting through. Mal on the other hand was stopped immediately. I turned back for him, but Mal waved me on.
I nodded and pressed on. The only thing that mattered right now was finding Brendan and making sure that he was alright.
“Captain!” I shouted as he hung up and pocketed his phone.
