Bonnie was sitting enjoying a pleasant night home alone. It had been a long week at work and her long time, live-in boy friend, Todd, was away for the weekend. They had been arguing again recently about everything. The house was never clean enough as far as he was concerned. She never cooked what he wanted to eat. It was so nice to not have to listen to him find something to complain about. As soon as she got home tonight, she had taken a long hot shower and put on her âcomfortâ clothes; an old, well worn t-shirt and a pair of cut-offs. She had warmed up the left-over lasagna that he would never eat and gotten a bottle of her favorite wine and just sat down with it and a good book. All she wanted was one night of peace and quiet.
Suddenly, the thunder and lightening broke the dark, silent night as easily as it split the tree out back setting the tree on fire. Bonnie heard the noise and thought for a second she had been shot. She jumped from her chair and ran to see the back yard burst into flames. Grabbing the phone, she started dialing as she ran outside to turn on the hose. The yard was so dry, she was afraid the fire department wouldnât get there before the flames could engulf the house. Aware that she could never put out the flames with a simple garden hose, she started spraying down the back of the house to keep it from catching fire too.
Moments later, the fire engine arrived bringing with it 5 handsome heroes including Brett. Bonnie had meet Brett a through a mutual friend and had known him for quite some time. She had often thought that if she wasnât involved with Todd, she would certainly go for it with him. He was the stereotypical gorgeous fire fighter. He was tall, very muscular and always tanned. At first, Brett did not even realize whose house they were at. He was totally focused on the job at hand. There stood Bonnie, soaking wet from spraying down the house and watching Brett and the other firemen work. Her heart was already racing from the freight of the lightening hitting the tree and the resulting fire. Seeing Brett hard at work, did nothing to slow its pace. However, now it was racing for a totally different reason. Her thoughts shifted quickly from the fire and the danger of losing her house to Brettâs body which she knew was hidden inside his fire suit.
The fire was quickly put out and the men ready to leave. Brett finally realized whose house this was and came over to Bonnie. âThis is some way to get me over to your house Bonnie.â He said with a chuckle. âWhereâs Todd?â
âHe went fishing this weekend. He wonât be back until Monday.â
âOhhhh! Well, in that case! Iâm off duty in an hour maybe I should come back and check on you just to make sure the fire doesnât flare back up. What do you think?â
âThat would be nice.â Bonnie replied, but what she really wanted to say was something more along the lines of them creating a fire of their own. Maybe that was what he had in mind too. Time would tell.
After the fire truck left, Bonnie went back into the house. She went into the bathroom and saw in the mirror how wet her t-shirt really was. The cool wet material clinging tightly to her breasts, her nipples at full attention. âOh my godâ she thought, no wonder he wants to come back and check on me. She blushed at the idea that he and the other fire fighters had seen her in this condition, but at the same time it was also exciting. How could she be thinking like this though? She had been with Todd for so long. Was she really thinking about another man in a sexual way? An even more important question was what was she going to do? And would Brett even come back like he said he would?
Bonnie went into her room to change her clothes. She was thinking that it was most likely just innocent flirting. Brett probably wouldnât even show up. So, after dropping her wet clothes into the hamper, she grabbed another comfy t-shirt and a pair of shorts but didnât worry about any under clothes. She went back to the dinning room to finish her dinner and get back to her book. She totally lost herself in the romance novel she was reading and was unaware of how much time had past.
She had just finished a pretty hot love scene in her book when the door-bell rang making her jump. Bonnie went to answer the door. There stood Brett. He had obviously showered and shaved when he got back to the station. God, he was hot, and that thought made her hot too. At that moment, she wanted to drag him straight to the bedroom and screw his brains out. But she was so torn! What about Todd?
âHiâ was all she could manage to get out in a rather shaky voice. âI didnât really think you were going to come back.â
Brett looked confused for a second and said, âDo you want me to go?â
âOh God, NO! Please come in.â and she stepped back to let him in.
There was an awkward silence for a moment as they stood staring at each other. Both of them thinking how much they wanted to just embrace each other but neither sure how the other felt. The silence was finally broken when Brett suggested that maybe he should check on the fire. Bonnie turned and led the way down the narrow hallway to the back door with Brett close behind her. When she reached the door, she took the handle and stepped back to open it and backing right into Brettâs chest. In a natural response he put his arm around her waist to prevent her from falling. Bonnie leaned into him for a moment longer than necessary enjoying the accidental embrace. Just as she started to pull away, Brett tightened his grasp on her and brushed a light kiss on her neck.
âYou have no idea how long I have wanted to do that!â he said. Then as he released her he said, âIâm sorry, I shouldnât have done that, but I couldnât help myself! You are a gorgeous woman and I have wanted to do that since the first time I meet you. Todd is a damn fool and you deserve better! You deserve to be treated like the precious gem you are instead of being treated like his slave. If I have over stepped my bounds, I understand and will leave right now, but what I really want to do is show you what real love can be like.â
Bonnie had not moved an inch even though Brett had let go of her waist. She was still leaning tight against his chest. She turned to look into his eyes; tears filling hers, all she wanted at that moment was everything he was offering her. She put her arms around him and pulled herself into him. Brett took her face in his hands, tipped her face up towards his and slowly kissed her mouth. His lips were tender and gentle as he pressed them to Bonnieâs, and yet there was also strength and passion in the kiss that Bonnie had forgotten existed. Their lips parted slightly allowing the tips of their tongues to find each other. Tears now streaming down her face, Bonnie pulled back just slightly, torn by her burning desire for Brett and her commitment to Todd.
She was so tired of feeling bad about everything. She was tired of Toddâs constant complaints and demands. Brett was right when he said that Todd treated her like a slave. She wanted so badly to feel good, to feel sexy and beautiful. She wanted to feel appreciated and desirable. She saw all of those things in the tender, loving way Brett was looking and her right now. And as he started to brush and kiss away her tears, all thoughts of Todd flew from her mind. Her only thoughts were in this moment, in the feelings burning inside her and in the love she felt in Brettâs arms. Her tears stopped and a half smile came to her lips. She kicked the door behind her closed and tightened her arms around Brett once more.
âSo, are we going to stand here in the hallway all night?â Brett asked, and they both laughed. âWhich way to the bedroom my love, I think there is another fire that needs my attention more than the one out back?â and with that, Bonnie silently took his hand and led the way back down the hall to her bedroom. Her heart was pounding with a combination of nervousness and desire. She was no longer thinking, but acting strictly on the feelings and emotions pouring though her. When they reached the bedroom, she almost fell onto the bed, pulling Brett down beside her. Right now, she just wanted to screw his brains out and worry about Todd tomorrow, but Brett had something slightly different in mind.
Brett pulled away some and looked at Bonnie with longing in his eyes. He brushed the hair from her face. He kissed her with a deep passion she had only dreamed about. He began to caress her neck. Each movement of his hand was followed by gentle kisses from his lips. He did not want to âScrewâ Bonnie, he want to âMake Loveâ to her, to worship her and her beauty. Every touch of his fingers or his mouth sent chilling waves of feelings Bonnie had no words for, washing over her entire body. Whatever these feelings were, they were wonderful. But she wanted more and now.
