Using his thumb to continue with the sensual torment on her aching, sensitized bud, he thrust two fingers into her.
It was too much. Lana cried out his name on a whisper and arched against him, her body bowing, arching as she clutched at his shoulders and raised her hips. Sean thrust again into her swollen, wet heat. Her whole body went rigid as he thrust while he worked her moist center.
Lana came apart in his arms, the tension coming together into one piercing center. With one urgent thrust, her center ignited, and tremors shivered through her. Sean covered her mouth, taking her cry into him, effectively muffling it.
Lana clung to him and buried her face against his neck, feeling as if she’d shattered into a million brilliant pieces.
Sean adjusted his hold; his hand splayed wide at the back of her head, holding her with such absolute tenderness that it made her throat close up. Gently, he adjusted her clothing and held her for a long time, until they heard footsteps on the stairs.
Then reluctantly, he let her go.

In her bunk that night, Lana couldn’t help glancing over at Sean, sleeping deeply as if he’d been the one who had the explosive orgasm. She wished she could go over there and curl up with him.
As it was, there were no calls that night. But that didn’t stop Lana from having broken sleep as she tossed and turned. When she woke in the morning to face the rest of her shift, she struggled up out of a nightmare. One where, instead of the pregnant woman looking up at her with a panicked look in her eyes, it’d been her father. But her dream had gone very differently.
She’d dropped him.

The dream seemed to haunt her as she moved through her shift, taking a call for a car accident that required the driver to be cut out with the Jaws of Life, a water rescue down at the pier, a man entangled in power lines that fell while he was cutting a tree, and laughingly, a cat caught on a roof.
At the end of the shift, almost everyone had left while Lana put her gear into her locker. The alarm sounded and effectively emptied the firehouse of the oncoming crew. Lana walked toward the stairs when Sean grabbed her arm and pulled her into the closet where they kept the extra SCBAs.
“What are you doing?” Lana asked softly.
“I can’t wait for a bed,” he said, taking Lana’s mouth like a man who was starving.
He pressed her against the ladder, knowing that even a week ago, he wouldn’t have thought about having Lana like this in a place where they could be discovered. He would have fantasized about it, but he wouldn’t have done it. When he realized that Lana thought he wouldn’t mind about the souvenir, he’d finally had enough of complacency. It fueled this change in him and made him want to take the kinds of chances he’d never have taken before. Taking his life, including his love life to new heights. But only with Lana. Now, he didn’t care, he was sick of being everyone’s best friend, always there to help out. He wanted to take something for himself, be stronger and tougher. The thought of that lent an air of excitement to his already aroused flesh.
“I really like this side of you, Sean. It makes me hot.”
“You bring it out in me. I can’t seem to care about anything but you.”
“I think about you, the desire in your eyes, the way you look at me. It makes me feel cherished, wanted, needed.”
“I do need you, want you, cherish you.” His mouth slammed down on hers. Her reaction sizzled through him as her tongue demanded entrance and he opened for her. A groan escaped him when she teased the roof of his mouth, the inside of his upper lip.
He went wild when she bit his bottom lip. But this was his fantasy, and he was going to force her to do what he wanted. “Touch my cock, Lana.”
She didn’t hesitate as she undid the button of his jeans and pulled the zipper down. She took his erection into her hands and bent down to run her tongue along his hardness.
It turned him on that Lana was so receptive to this dark side of him.
He gasped and his body strained upward. “Take me in your mouth.”
With a soft moan, she slid her moist lips over him, working her mouth up and down his arousal until the heavy sensations threatened to overwhelm him.
“No more, Lana, or I’ll come,” he said fiercely and dragged her against him, covering her mouth in a searing kiss.
Sean had taken her by surprise. He’d changed right before her eyes and it was the kind of man she’d always craved, knew that this dark side of Sean lurked inside of him. Had she seen it in his eyes? Had she known all along all she had to do was take him into her body to unleash it? She found that she could let her control go with him. Although experiencing a volatile mix of fear and pleasure, she knew deep down in her heart that she could trust him.
The moment Sean’s hand wrapped around the back of her neck, and his tongue surged into her mouth, she was lost again.
Lana moved restlessly against him. She roughly pushed him back, so he was flush against the closed door. He guided her hands back down to his erection. With his hands over hers, he rubbed her palms along his arousal.
“Is this what you want, Lana?”
