Denver
The hot ginger firefighter was in for breakfast again. A little older than my
thirty-nine and on the shorter side, but oh so easy on the eyes. Third time
this week, but his first after a shift change. Knowing the shift schedule for
the nearby firehouse was an occupational hazard, not the result of stalking
any first responder eye candy.
I might look, but uniforms were far from my usual. Give me someone
scruffy, a little feral, a lot wounded… Okay. Hot messes were my personal
kryptonite, a habit I was trying hard to break. I’d given up smoking,
partying, and I’d been working the overnight shift here at Honey’s Hotcake
Hut for over eighteen months now. I was almost a regular upstanding
citizen. Almost.
Sizzle. Two eggs over easy joined the not-too-crispy bacon on my
griddle as I finished the previous order while Tammy got the firefighters
situated at the counter. Only three of them today, down from their usual
full-shift crew looking for after-midnight chow. We were one of the very
few twenty-four-hour options for food in Mount Hope, so I didn’t kid
myself that the new guy had been coming around to see me specifically.
I did, however, nod at all three of them as Tammy poured their coffee
and doled out glasses of juice.
“No middle-of-the-night munchies run?” I teased the group as I plated
the order for the only other patron at the counter, an old farmer named Ed
who spoke little, tipped less, but came in like clockwork every Saturday.
Near the window, a hungover group of twenty-somethings nursed coffee
refills while picking at half-eaten plates of loaded hash browns.
“We were up all night babysitting the last of a warehouse fire out south
of town.” Ginger’s younger friend, a blond firefighter I’d privately
nicknamed Fireman Flirty, answered first. Flirty’s real name was Caleb, and
he’d demonstrated a willingness to banter with everyone from eight months
to eighty.
“And now we’re starving.” Ginger groaned. He wore jeans and a blue
pullover rather than his usual uniform. The look made him seem far more
approachable, a quiet vulnerability in his eyes that did something for me. “I
could murder a stack of pancakes.”
“That’s rather violent.” Caleb laughed easily. “But I’d like to make out
with some bacon about now.”
“Your usual meat-lovers omelet with a side of bacon?” I asked, already
prepping. Caleb was as predictable as he was flirty.
“You know it.” Chuckling, Caleb jerked his head toward Ginger. “And
whatever my friend here wants. I owe Sean big time after last night.”
“Hey, I’m enjoying being out in the field.” Ginger—Sean—held up his
hands. The name suited him, a short, sharp, masculine nod to his Irish
looks. And damn it, of course, he had dimples. Adults had no business with
dimples. Too damn devastating and possibly as tempting as wounded eyes
and pouty lips. “Saving Caleb’s ass a mud bath was a bonus.”
“And what a cute ass it is.”
