Fire Dreams
By Tamsin Baker
m/m contemporary erotic romance.
(novella length)
Blurb:
Dylan is living his dream, fighting
fires and saving lives. Bruised ribs call for a doctor visit and he meets Zach.
The sexy ER surgeon tempts Dylan, with more than the casual one night stands he
usually indulges in. However Zach's life means long hours and pressure.
He's left wondering if he can cope.
Zach meets the gorgeous young Dylan,
who is the answer to his silent prayers. The hardworking Firey is beautiful,
smart and funny. What more could he ask for?
But these two shift-workers have no
relationship experience. Will their lives get in the way of their new love or
could their incredible passion conquer all?
Excerpt:
“We had a pretty big house fire today and Dylan actively
participated in two rescues.”
Zach whistled, that was impressive. Either the guy was amazingly
strong or had a super hero complex. But why had Simon called him? “So, is he
okay?”
Simon pushed open the door to the communal bedroom and lowered his
voice. “Yeah, I think so. But after we finished he was complaining of his ribs
hurting and he was sweating and stuff. Sorry I got you out to check on him, but
he didn’t want to go to the hospital.”
Zach walked closer and hissed in a breath at the fallen angel lying
on the bed in front of him. Short, tightly curled golden hair and pale skin,
this man was simply beautiful.
He knelt down next to the bed and put his hand up to the man’s
sweating brow. His skin was a little sticky, but no fever.
“Hmm?”
The man’s eyes opened and focused on him, the brightness of the blue
just as shocking as Zach’s instant reaction to him. Fuck, I’m getting hard over a patient! That’s a first.
He cleared his throat and stayed squatting. “Hi, I’m Doctor Zach
Shaw. How are you feeling?”
The man pushed himself up, visibly shaking as he swung his legs over
and sat up.
“I’m okay, just cold and… sore.” He put a hand across his ribs and
Zach forced himself to stand.
“Simon, can you make some hot tea with sugar for…” Had Simon
mentioned the guy’s name? He couldn’t remember now.
“Dylan, I’m Dylan.” The gorgeous angel lifted his hand and Zach took
it, feeling the heat of the man’s skin against his, loving the roughened
calluses against his smooth palm.
“Can do.” Simon trotted off and Zach reached for the lamp.
“Please don’t, I have a headache.” Dylan’s voice was a little weak
but his hand was firm as it wrapped around Zach’s forearm to stop him from
turning on the light.
Again, that skin to skin contact was enough to make his cock throb.
“Is that normal for you?” Zach asked his patient as he grabbed a
chair and pulled it across the room so that he could sit in front of Dylan.
“Yeah, I don’t always sleep well, and we’ve had a rough day.”
Zach knew that was a bit of an understatement, but chose not to
comment. “Can you lift your top? Simon said something about your ribs?”
Dylan nodded slowly, reaching over his head with his right hand and
pulling his white T-shirt over his head with one tug, hissing in pain and
clutching at his left ribs.
Oh God, the man was simply stunning. Huge, wide, flat pecs, massive
shoulders and sculpted abs. Fuck!
“Here, I’m not sure what exactly happened.”
Dylan lifted his arm and pointed to a red patch around ribs seven
and eight.
Zach cleared his throat,
feeling for all the world like an inexperienced student with his first hot
patient. Away from the hospital, without the cold, bright white walls and his
name tag, he felt out of place touching this beautiful man.
“Alright, I’m going to squeeze your ribs from the front and the side
in a compression test to cheek for broken ribs. Ready?”
Dylan nodded, a bead of sweat rolling down the side of his temple
and hitting his chest. Zach wanted to lean down and lick it off and groaned at
the inappropriate desire.
“You okay?” Dylan’s question and concerned frown surprised Zach, as
did the slightly wide eyed look he had on his face.
“Yeah. It’s just been a long day. Stand up for me could you?”
Dylan nodded again and lifted himself up, sagging a little which
made Zach step forward to catch him.
