The soft slap-slap-slap of our skin, as well as my moans and his grunts, echoed in the room.
Higher and higher I climbed until I was dangling on the side of the cliff, seconds away from soaring again.
Never missing anything, Tai must have sensed this and he picked up the pace, dropping his hips slightly so the head of his cock rubbed against my G-spot with expert marksmanship.
He let go of my breast as his face tightened in concentration.
Sweat gathered on his brow, and my breathing was huffing out in soft pants.
“Tai, now,” I told him.
His eyes connected with mine, and we watched each other as I shattered in a million tiny pieces.
“Fuck!” He hissed as he felt my pussy clamp down on his cock.
He spread his lips, baring his teeth, as he came, too.
“Oh, fuck yeah,” he groaned, pouring himself into me in long, hot spurts.
After long moments, he pulled my panties from around my ankles and brought them up to wipe his release from between my legs.
I half walked, half crawled, to the side of the bed and hurried to the bathroom to clean myself up. When I got back, Tai was sound asleep on my side of the bed.
I couldn’t help staring at him, watching as he breathed evenly in and out.
He deserved everything he could ever wish for, and if he wanted a baby, who was I to deny him the chance to be the wonderful father that I knew he would be. If he wanted a baby, I’d be crazy to not want that experience with him?
He was right, anything could happen – to any of us – at any time. I was risking my heart and more pain, but I was also taking a chance on more happiness than I’d ever felt before
And, I knew it would all be worth it, and I’d just have to pray that nothing bad ever happened.

The next day
PD, Bowe, Drew and I stared as the newcomer, Michael ‘call me Booth’ Jones, moved his belongings into what had always been Fatbaby’s locker.
He placed his bunker gear in there without a word to any of us, and I felt my heart constrict in my chest.
Fuck.
I was sure that Booth wasn’t a bad guy.
In fact, from what I’d seen of him already, he seemed like a great guy. He was a fucking military hero, for crying out loud. But regardless of how great he seemed, I was struggling with the fact that Fatbaby wasn’t coming back to work anytime soon and we had to just keep going without him
I did kinda feel bad for the guy, though, being just thrown in here, not knowing what to expect and knowing from the obvious looks on all of our faces that we were all struggling to deal with it, with him.
What made things even more awkward was the fact that he’d been very highly recommended by Fatbaby himself. Turns out that Booth is his step-brother.
But he wasn’t Fatbaby.
And what was the point of getting attached to the guy when Fatbaby was coming back? Sure, he wasn’t coming back soon, but he would eventually be back.
And when that time came, Booth would have to go.
“Alright, boys, I see you’ve met Booth,” Chief Allen said as he walked into the garage bay.
We watched Chief Allen as he approached us. None of us said a word as he did.
Booth turned to survey us, no surprise showing on his face that we were there.
“Booth will be taking over Fatbaby’s spot on shift until he’s back on his feet,” Chief Allen continued, almost ignoring the silent tension between us all.
Booth, felt it, though.
It was nothing personal.
It was just that we’d all been a team for a while now, and we worked really well together. We knew what to expect from each other. Trusted each other completely.
Fatbaby told us that Booth had been a hotshot firefighter in the Marines. He could be a bit flighty at times. And to make matters worse, he used to date Mia’s best friend, Masen.
It apparently had been a bad break up, and when I say bad, according to Fatbaby it was even worse than I was imagining. With her and Bowe now seeing each other, something that was going pretty well, it was bound to get ugly.
Really ugly.
We all got a taste of that only a few moments later when Mia, on time for fucking once in her life, walked into the bay with Masen in tow.
She had a massive box of cookies that she’d stayed up half the night baking.
We were having a bake sale and block party to help raise money for Fatbaby… something he was unaware of.
When they first entered the bay, Masen was smiling and laughing with Mia.
Then, the moment she saw Bowe, a shy smile spread across her face.
Her eyes shifted over to Booth then, who’d taken a giant step forward as soon as he saw Masen, and her face froze.
