She made an executive decision not to search for her underwear and to get the hell out of his house as quickly as possible. Lace panties were replaceable, but integrity was not. As she briskly walked down the stairs, she heard his stomps directly behind her.

He grabbed her arm before she stepped out the front door.

“Georgia, you don’t deserve a random fuck to be your first time.”

Ugh, even if the words were true, it was still like a dagger in her back.

“No.” She held her head high. “You just don’t deserve to be the one to do it.”

She stalked off to her car. The only thing comforting her was that at least she got the last word.

CHAPTER

NINE

A VIRGIN. HOW in the hell was the most beautiful woman in the world still a virgin at her age? It wasn’t like she was waiting until she got married. Georgia told him as much. He ate her out like her pussy was the last he would ever taste.

Fuck.

Was that her first time with oral?

Damn it. He wasn’t even gentle about going down on her.

But hell, her pussy tasted delicious.

The thought of some other asshole having the opportunity to go down on her and learn how sweet she tasted made him irrational.

“Are you listening?” Levi, a fellow firefighter, asked him, interrupting his thoughts of Georgia and how she sounded when she orgasmed. “I need your input for the pre-fire planning. We also need updated building layouts for three buildings, access points for two other businesses, and anyone hired this year who hasn’t completed a walk-through on any high-risk structures.”

Levi, much like Elijah, was a stickler for keeping everything up to date with the administrative tasks that went along with being a firefighter. But right now, Levi was extreme. Even if Elijah was only halfway paying attention.

“Scarlett is the only new hire, and she is aware of the required walk-throughs. She still has a month to complete this. Nash updated the access points, and he put the paperwork in Sam’s bin for today to revise our tracking system. What three buildings need updated building layouts? To my understanding, all of this was filed and part of our training last month,” Elijah rattled off.

Levi slumped in his chair. “Scarlett should get it done ASAP.”

“You do know I am the lieutenant here, correct?” Elijah sternly told him, lifting an eyebrow.

“The medical pavilion did some construction that finished up last week. Those are the three hubs where we need updated business layouts.”

The medical pavilion?

“I can check out the doctors’ office, if you want me to,” Levi offered.

“No,” Elijah answered brashly, causing Levi to angle his head in concern. “You can continue your audits here. I’ll head over to the pavilion and get their updated floor plans and any changes in access. Roman is doing some paperwork in the break room, so if you need anything, you can go to him.”

Grabbing his laptop and keys, Elijah headed out to his truck. He had a buzz of excitement to see Georgia at work. Something about her made his mouth water to see her again.

Even though nothing would come of it.

Hell, she was a virgin and deserved better than what he could offer her.

“I HAVE TEN more minutes until my break is over,” Georgia reminded her friends. Sophie and Anna crashed her lunch, and the three of them sat in the break room at work. She just informed her besties of what happened with Elijah.

Sophie flipped her hand. “I’m officially on summer break, so kicking us out can’t damper my day. Besides, we’re not leaving this room until we figure out what to do with your v-card.”

“Operation: Lose Virginity.” Anna giggled quietly even though they were alone and the door was shut.

“Maybe I should go back on a dating app?” Georgia wondered aloud.
