I’d at all times thought the principle avenue right here seemed like one thing out of a journey weblog or a Hallmark film. The timber are at all times the proper shade of inexperienced, the fences at all times completely painted off-white, and the solar lights all the things up like Heaven, giving the city an ethereal glow that’s one way or the other each cozy and inspirational.

“Verizon lastly confirmed as much as work on the traces, which implies we’re out of Web for the following day or so, so that you don’t want to return again this afternoon,” Karla mentioned, attempting to cover the joy in her voice.

Wait…what?

“You imply I—”

“Take the time off, Nolan. I’ll name you tomorrow to let you understand an replace on when it’ll be again and when you may come again to the workplace.”

My blood chilled as her phrases fell on me like heavy stones.

I hadn’t taken a time off from work since…

Properly, since I moved right here just about.

Not that I didn’t give it some thought, however what would I do?

It wasn’t like I had a gaggle of pals to gallivant round with, to not point out the city itself was fairly sparse in regard to leisure…

I assume I may go residence and possibly go for my day by day run a bit earlier?

Put a bit further time in?

“Severely. Go residence. Watch some Netflix or one thing. Take a break for as soon as. I imply it,” she mentioned earlier than hanging up, leaving me surprised in silence.

Properly, shit.

I casually steered away from the workplace, slowing my velocity now that I knew I didn’t need to rush again to work, passing the fireplace station. After I’d leased my house, I’d thought it was a fantastic promoting level. Being near native first responders meant I used to be in protected arms if one thing went flawed, however now it was simply one other reminder that my job was my life.

Instinctually, I seemed for Dawson among the many crew washing the fireplace vans, however he wasn’t there. Most likely nonetheless chatting up his brother about all the things.

Should be a gradual day.

Part of my mind simply couldn’t let sleeping canines lie although, as I attempted to image him amongst Gina and Sharky, and a few of the newer rookies, like Frank. My thoughts couldn’t assist however bear in mind a freshly showered and shirtless Dawson looming over me, and naturally that was why my mind determined to go spiraling into ideas of watching him get all moist and soapy, stretching these again muscular tissues as he cleaned the truck, unfastened suspenders caressing the form of his ass…

Fuck, now I’m arduous.

I huffed out a sigh as I pulled into my parking area at Jasper Springs Towers, the house advanced I’d referred to as residence for the final two years. I shifted myself round as soon as extra as I exited the automobile, feeling relatively on the spot.

Which consisted of me attempting to get snug on my sofa as I slipped out of my white shirt and pants all the way down to my boxers whereas I doomscrolled my television for one thing, something to get my thoughts off Dawson, that bizarre telephone dialog, or the final twenty 4 hours, actually.

I settled on some older episodes of Rescue Me, attempting to do precisely as Karla as mentioned and calm down. However neither my thoughts nor my dick appeared to get the memo.

I huffed out a sigh of frustration, rolling my eyes as I leaned again into my sofa cushions, understanding there was really just one method to quiet my ideas and get on with my day.

I closed my eyes, slid my hand in my boxers and let my thoughts wander, to Dawson and his darkish, attractive voice over the telephone, the reminiscence of his sizzling, shirtless self standing above me, remembering that spicy cedar scent and people excellent, kissable lips.

Fuck.

I’d barely gotten into my fantasy earlier than I used to be pulsing with want, aching to be touched. I simply wished another person aside from myself may contact me.

My thoughts wandered to the reminiscence of Dawson’s arms on my pores and skin, when he’d grabbed me, filling within the areas of fantasy as I let my ideas spiral, imagining those self same heat, tough arms wrapped round my cock, squeezing, sliding…
