“Adaze—”

“I said I’m fine,” she said, cutting her off. Adaze couldn’t handle sympathy or Diana trying to make her talk about her feelings. She didn’t need that. She needed a distraction. “Really, now let me get some work done, yeah?”

Diana let out a long sigh. “Alright, fine. I’ll drop it for now… But promise me you’ll call if you need anything.”

“If it’ll make you feel better, sure.”

“I guess that’s as good as I’m going to get,” she sighed. “I’ll see you first thing tomorrow, maybe a little earlier than usual.”

“That’s fine, just don’t forget the coffee.” Adaze smiled at the familiar banter.

“Yeah yeah. When have I ever?”

“You’re the best, Di. See you in the morning.”

They got off the phone and Adaze tried to turn her attention back to her work, but before she put her phone down, she couldn’t help herself. She checked for missed calls and texts but there was nothing from Leilani Silva, the hot firefighter, and she felt disappointed.

She shook her head.

It was fine.

Nothing to be disappointed over.

She was just some woman who she met. Yeah, she was super fit, muscly, with incredible hair and big brown eyes you could lose yourself in. She also seemed so bubbly and brave, but so what?

Maybe she raced in to save her regardless of the danger like it was nothing, but that didn’t mean anything.

She should just push it from her head and get on with her life.

But no matter how much she tried, she couldn’t get the younger woman and her bright smile out of her mind. Something about this firefighter and her muscles dripping wet from the ocean after saving Adaze’s life—she couldn’t get the image out of her head.

There was something about Leilani Silva—young, brave, and she had been completely unfazed by Adaze. Not intimidated by her. And that was unusual to say the least.

After almost an hour of not getting anything done, she flopped back on the sofa with a sigh. Maybe a shower would help clear her head.

Then she glanced at the clock. It was well after eleven.

Maybe it was time to just call today a loss and go to bed. Adaze hated going to sleep when she didn’t feel like she’d accomplished enough, but at this point there didn’t seem to be a way around it.

She slammed her laptop shut with a bit more force than necessary before pushing to her feet. She walked through her pristine open concept apartment.

She liked to call it minimalist, but the truth was the place was almost bare. Adaze wasn’t in the habit of inviting people over, and she was usually so busy with work she couldn’t care less about the decor.

For the first time since she moved in, she found herself worrying what someone else would think of her space.

She shook the thought from her head. What was she thinking? Odds are Leilani Silva would never end up here anyways. It’s not like it would really matter.

The rest of the night, she couldn’t get Leilani out of her mind. The curl of her lips and her neat white teeth when she smiled.

The outline of her nipples in her wet shirt… mmmmm.

It had been a while since Adaze had had sex and she enjoyed the sexy thought of fucking the hot young firefighter flitting through her mind. Imagining the sweet taste of her. Imagining her strong firefighter arms fucking her. Mmmm.

The next morning when Diana arrived, Adaze was still daydreaming casually about wild sex with hot young firefighters.

She was sitting on the sofa, staring at her laptop and trying to focus when Diana came in, coffees in hand. Her small round face was pinched in a tense smile, short blond hair messy from the wind.

“Hey, how are you doing today?” she asked, voice a bit higher than usual.
