Up in Flames

by Eden Finley

“Why couldn’t I have fallen for you instead?” “Come again?” I fall back against my pillow. “Don’t worry, I’m not hitting on you. I was thinking of when I started at Station 21 and our firehouses crossed paths a lot. I … I might have had a crush on you. But then I met Eman, and … yeah.

oof. I bet that fucking hurt sanden hearing that

the more time I spend with him, the more my chest aches. It’s why I kept him and Eman at arm’s length. Why everyone at the station thinks I hate Remy, even though I’ve been nothing but professional toward him on the job. I might be here to make sure Remy’s okay, but after this honeymoon, I’m not sure I will be.

“Spread those pretty legs for me, sweetheart.”

He’s swept me up in a goddamn hurricane, and I never want him to set me down again.

It’s only ever been Remy.
