She gave him a thumbs-up and walked to the posh area with her phone, where other people were waiting for a table. Georgia stepped to the least crowded side and answered her cell.

“Will there be another date?” Anna immediately spoke.

Georgia groaned. “Not even if my medical license required it. We are having dessert now, and then I’m leaving. Glad I drove myself.”

“Why don’t you meet me at the station? I am hanging with Roman for a little bit before I meet Sophie at Lighthouse.”

Georgia grinned. “And then Elijah will see me.”

“Exactly.”

THE LAUGHTER COMING from the break room was way too loud for Roman and Levi. And he was pretty sure there was a female there too. He was about to leave his office when he heard Roman call out to Anna. That made sense. She would sometimes stop by when he was working.

Elijah was almost done with his shift, but he didn’t join his friends. Not after he badgered the fuck out of Roman to get more details on Georgia and her date. A date with Adam Loughlin.

Fuck that guy.

Another woman’s voice joined the group, and it was alluring, inviting, and the sound he heard when he closed his eyes at night.

What was Georgia doing here?

It was only nine thirty, and she was already back from her date.

He smirked. Her plans with Adam were over.

Like the absolute creeper he was, he stood from his desk and hovered by the door to get a better listen to what they were talking about.

“I mean, after the fifth story about his excellence in high school, I knew I wasn’t getting lucky tonight,” Georgia regaled the group with her story.

“Hear that, Levi? You won’t get any ass if you talk about high school,” Roman teased the other firefighter.

“Fuck off,” Levi responded, but he didn’t sound all that pissed off.

Anna laughed. “Exactly. He’s sitting cozy next to Georgia. What ass are you getting, Roman?”

That was enough. Elijah moved out of his office and marched into the break room. And fuck, it was true, Georgia was sitting on the couch next to Levi. It was innocent but still made his blood boil. “Why aren’t either of you working?”

And what the hell was she wearing?

Her chest was on display, making his mouth water. Fuck, he never got to touch her breasts, which was a damn mistake.

Levi got up and walked to the bay of trucks. “I’ll do a wipe down of the fire trucks.”

That made Elijah feel marginally better. He raised an eyebrow at Roman.

Roman groaned, standing up. “I’ll go make sure all of our reports were submitted to the NFIRS.”

“Appreciate it,” Elijah deadpanned. That should have been done before any of them were taking a break with friends.

Roman pointed at Anna. “You’re coming with me.”

With an eye roll, she stood and glanced at Georgia. “I’ll help him out for ten minutes, and then we can go to Lighthouse.”

When it was only Elijah and Georgia, he stared her down.

“What?” she asked, brushing her hair over her shoulder. “Do you expect me to sit in my car?”

Elijah didn’t respond because honestly, her not being in the same room as him might be a better option. Having her close put him on edge. Now that he knew what her pussy tasted like, he was impatient for more even though it would never happen.
