KIM BALDWIN. Erin’s lips found a nipple and began to suck, bite, lick

Erin’s lips found a nipple and began to suck, bite, lick.
The pounding of her heart rang in her ears. She spread her legs wider and lifted her hips to meet the caressing hand. Erin knew just how to stroke her. Harder. Faster.
Gable was poised on the edge of ecstasy when reality came crashing down and she awoke sweating in her own bed, her own hand between her legs. She was so disappointed to F nd it all a dream that she was unable to continue, unable to F nd relief.
In the damp tangle of her sheets, it took hours for her to fall back asleep.

The dream kept resurfacing in Gable’s mind as she accompanied Erin to Cadillac the next day. She supposed it should have bothered her to spend her entire weekend off work trailing around stores—not exactly a habit of hers. But she found she didn’t mind it one bit. She couldn’t keep her eyes off Erin, stealing frequent, surreptitious glances at her, her mind’s eye dressing Erin in the lingerie of the dream.
She felt vaguely aroused all day, and so was grateful Erin’s shopping for the more risqué items on her list was already complete. This time, they spent hours in Home Depot and Meijer, selecting innocuous items like shelving and bird feeders, clocks, a vacuum cleaner, a ladder. Two full carts of groceries to F ll Erin’s empty pantry.
Erin insisted on cooking dinner for them that night, since their meal plans the previous evening had been thwarted by Gable’s sudden loss of appetite while they were furniture shopping.
“After we eat, would you mind helping me put up some curtains?”
Erin asked as she chopped salad vegetables on her new cutting board.
“Whatever you need.” Gable watched Erin from a seat at the dining table, Earl Grey curled in her lap, purring contentedly. “Sure I can’t help with dinner?”
“Everything’s under control. Why don’t you just relax. I’ve worked you pretty hard the last couple of days.”
“I enjoyed it.” Perhaps a little too much.
“You know, when I think back on the tornado, it’s just not quite as traumatic as it probably should be. I mean…it was awful, sure. But it brought me the best friend I’ve had in a long time. I really feel like I’ve

known you for ages.”
“I know what you mean. I haven’t had a lot of women friends,”
Gable admitted. “Growing up in a houseful of guys, I guess. But it’s nice. You’re easy to talk to.”
“Same back atcha. I’d have really been a basket case that night without you.”
“I think you’re stronger than you give yourself credit for. I really admire the way you’ve come through all this.”
“Well, I admire the fact you were there in the F rst place,” Erin said. “Putting yourself at risk in order to make a difference. To help a stranger in trouble.”
“Well, you’ll be doing the same in no time.”
Erin set the salad on the table and lit two candles she had bought that day at Meijer. Gable tried not to think about how romantic the setting seemed.
“I’m looking forward to the training,” Erin said as she added a bowl of mashed potatoes to the table, and two New York strip steaks she had seared in a cast-iron skillet. “I’m a bit nervous about it, though, I’ll admit. I’m certainly the smallest person on the squad. Okay, we’re ready to eat. Help yourself.”
“Everything looks great! And don’t worry about the training, I know you’ll do F ne.” Gable assured her. “Some of the drills do require a certain amount of brawn—pulling hoses and putting up the big ladders.
But we always put a lot of people on that stuff. The hardest part for me was the classroom tests. Learning F re science and how F res spread.
Building construction. Michigan F re laws. What precautions you gotta take around hazardous materials.”
“That reminds me, I need to stop off at the station tomorrow,” Erin said. “The chief said he’d have my training schedule worked out.”
“You’ll be able to start going out on callouts after a couple weeks of training, though you’ll have limits to what you can do,” Gable said.
“No going into burning buildings right away.”
She cut several small pieces of steak and fed them to Earl Grey, still curled contentedly in her lap. “During your training, you’ll work one-on-one with some of the guys to learn things like ropes, portable extinguishers, how to ventilate buildings. Communications and equipment on the trucks. How to use an SCBA—that’s your self-contained breathing apparatus. Some of the other stuff takes several
