Hung over, unfulfilled, vibrator broken and now her breakfast stolen. Time to get to work!
—
“Fuck you,” the angry voice said from the other end of the phone, and Bella heard the familiar click of the hangup. She adjusted her headset and leaned her head back. Glancing left and right down the long aisle of coworkers, she was always amazed at the amount of inconvenience this company created on a daily basis.
Hundreds of phone drones like her, all bothering people day in and day out, just to peddle some stupid service or product. She looked at the screen in front of her, already forgetting the crap they were shilling that day. A vinyl siding cleaning service. How sexy. She wiped at her eyes and massaged her temples.
“Are you taking your break, Bella?” asked a voice from behind her.
Clarence, her morning manager, notorious for patrolling up and down the aisles of call center workers. He was fixated on “improving efficiency,” which meant chasing numbers on spreadsheets and meeting goals set by the higher-ups in corporate. “If you’re not working, you’re on break. You know this Bella. You’ve been here two years.”
“Too long,” she responded without thinking.
“Excuse me?” he parried. There was a cruel eagerness in him today. “What was that?”
“Nothing. I’m not on break Clarence. Look,” she said as she hit a key on her keyboard and the software system began ringing the next telephone number on an endless list.
“Hello?” came an expectant voice on the other end of the line.
“Good morning ma’am! Would you be interested in a once in a lifetime deal to both clean your home’s vinyl siding AND save a great deal of money?”

Bella opened the front door to her apartment building and sighed. Every day, she thought about writing a letter to Congress, petitioning them to make four story walkups illegal. Grunting, sweating and swearing she made her way up the 78 steps. It hadn’t been this bad when she first moved in, but she’d been a little lighter on her toes back then.
Bella walked into the apartment and plopped down onto the couch next to Kaylie. “Hey.”
“Hey,” Kaylie said, not looking away from whatever reality show she was watching.
“How was the beach?”
“Boring and shitty, as usual. There were barely any hot guys there. I mean, they were ok, but not great.” She turned to look at Bella. “Oh this morning, was that sandwich meant for you?”
Bella just grimaced and nodded, mourning the loss still.
“Yeah I thought so, because I took one bite and tasted the bacon on it. I’m on a cleanse so I gave it to the dog next door.” Kylie saw Bella’s reddening face and made to soothe her, “Oh it’s not your fault…you didn’t know I was on a cleanse!”
Without saying a word, Bella bolted upright and stomped to her room, slamming the door behind her. She hoped the reverberation would weaken the supports of the building and cause the whole place to come down. Her own death would be a worthy price to squash her roommate like a bug.
Her temper subsiding, she fished her laptop’s power cord out from under the desk and plugged it in. Powering it up, she checked her Facebook. She froze in shock and confusion.
Ten new friend requests. She barely had ten Facebook friends to begin with. What was going on? She clicked on the first one and her heart skipped a beat.
—Hey Bella, this is Brock. I look forward to seeing you tonight!—
“What…how…who?” Bella muttered as she clicked on the man’s photo. Oh Mama! Within seconds Bella learned that this mystery man was Brock Tartan, a volunteer firefighter for the greater Libby area. He was, quite simply, to die for. Gorgeous face, baby blue eyes and strong shoulders that could carry you out of a burning building. Or into a hot tub.
Needing more information, Bella checked her email.
“Oh God,” she said.

Hey no worries! There’s nothing inappropriate at 4am ;). It’s always great to meet another person in the community. We’ll be at the firehouse all night, so come on by whenever.

How about you come on these
“No, no, no!” Bella howled as the pic of her boobs she sent this Adonis loaded in front of her. Her cheeks were on fire. She wanted to crawl into a dark cave and just die. Out of morbid curiosity she clicked on his reply, imagining his polite but stern censure. Instead his reply was blank.

Bella jaw dropped as the pic loaded. It was a low angle picture, and the background was a cement and tile flooring you’d see in a fire station. But the object of the photo was what had Bella transfixed. It only showed Brock’s muscular hand pulling down the front of his trousers. Two inches of thick meat hung below a nest of dark curly hairs.
Bella’s mouth and pussy both sprung leaks.
Her hands went to her aching cooke, needing this man she didn’t know existed ten minutes ago. She’d just dipped a finger in when she stopped herself. Normally, when a cute barista’s hand lingered against hers, or a dirty mechanic’s leg brushed up against hers on the bus, she’d rush home and take care of business.
And that would be the end of that. A quick flick of the bean, she’d have her moment of bliss, then continue trudging through whatever passed for a life. Still alone, still unfulfilled, like being lost at sea. Maybe this time she does something different.
A knock at her door snapped her back to the present. She opened the door to Kaylie. “What do you want?”
“Well, Rodrigo is coming over tonight,” Kaylie said, hesitant to say any more.
“Is he the bassist?” Bella asked.
“No, Karl is the bassist and he usually comes over on Mondays. It’s Wednesday, so that’s Rodrigo. The executive chef,” Kaylie said, her eyes looking away.
“Ahh, yes…” Bella said, agreeing to the lie that this busboy was an executive chef. More importantly, she knew he liked to fuck Kaylie loudly and make her scream in Spanish. Bella hated it, and thought about getting him deported so he could fuck someone out of earshot.
But tonight was different. “Sure, Kaylie. Have Rodrigo over. Knock yourself out. Choke on his cock all night…”
“Well, not all night,” Kaylie said, her mood improving at the thought of the night ahead.
“I’m going out, and hopefully I won’t be back tonight. Now I have to bake some brownies and…” Bella started.
“Brownies! Yay!” Kylie interjected. There really was nothing to stop the words from coming out.
“If you even think about taking one, I will cut you. Not figuratively, not in a ha-ha way. I will take my hand-sharpened German forged 10-inch kitchen blade and slice you the fuck up,” Bella said, moving towards the kitchen.
No reply came from behind her.
Bella stepped off a bus for the third time that day. It was a bit past nine in the evening, but it couldn’t be helped. The brownies in the wrapped box in Bella’s hands were something special.
She’d hand chopped Belgian dark chocolate and had to cool the mixture in the fridge twice to ensure a perfect consistency. The tray had been rubbed down
in virgin coconut oil, to give a hint of something exotic. Mesquite honey helped to cut through the dark bitterness of the chocolate.
The fire station was exactly how she pictured it. Tall, narrow and long: the front doors were open to let the warm summer air in. A party was in full swing, with the firefighters mingling amongst the crowd of supporters.
Timidly stepping across the threshold, Bella saw a table at the far end of the station covered in food. She made her way through the crowd, catching whiffs of burly confident firemen and diesel fuel. Handsome faces smiled down at her, offering polite but brief greetings. She felt a few pairs of eyes linger on her, and she added a little swish to her step, knowing her short skirt would flip up as she sashayed.
She placed the box down on the table in between some ziti pasta and a hummus plate. Unwrapping it, she felt a presence behind her.
“What did you bring for me?” a deep husky voice asked.
Turning around, she looked up into gorgeous baby blue eyes.
Brock grinned impishly down at her. “Bella, right? I’m Brock,” he said, extending his hand.
“Huh…Hi…” Bella stammered, “This is quite a station you have here,” she said, trying to make idle conversation. “I brought brownies.”
Brock leaned in past her, his musk rolling over Bella in a wave of confident masculinity. He lifted one of the brownies to his face and inhaled deeply. “Oh…this is something special, Bella. Thank you for bringing this.”
“It’s not all I brought,” she said meekly.
Brock took a big bite of the brownie, the chocolate ganache frosting leaving small traces around his mouth. “Oh my God, Bella. This is wonderful!”
Bella bit her lip, wanting to step in and lick his lips clean. She felt a surge go through her, her desire for this man growing by the moment. Surprising herself, she said, “Why don’t you give me a tour?”
Brock grinned, moving closer to Bella and pressing his groin against her. “It would be my pleasure,” he said, his growing erection apparent through his denim overalls. His hand closed over Bella’s as he walked her away from the table, her brownie in his other hand.
Bella felt like she was having an out of body experience. She was being led away from the party by this incredible stud: this didn’t happen to her! But she found her normal inner monologue wasn’t warning caution. It was cheering her on.
Leading the way, Brock walked her up a metal spiral staircase, thick crusts of mud and grit clearing as they went further and further up. At the top was a dark hallway, which they walked through until coming to a door. Brock turned around, put his finger to his lips, and led her into the dark room.
Once the door closed behind them, the room was almost pitch black. Bella could barely make out four pairs of bunk beds in the room. She clearly heard heavy breathing coming from one, The hand encompassing hers pulled her towards the nearest one and onto the bed.
“I’ve been thinking about you all day, Bella,” Brock whispered. His face came dangerously close to hers, their lips almost touching. “That picture you sent was…inspiring,” his breath hot on her face.
Bella dropped her inhibitions and leaned in to kiss him. Her lips softly brushed his, and she tasted remnants of the brownie on his mouth. “I haven’t really tried the brownies yet. Are they good?” she asked in a whisper, her mouth at his ear.
Without saying anything, he took a bite of the brownie and kissed Bella, his chocolate covered tongue opening her lips and probing deeper. She could taste all the flavors she put into the brownies as they shared it between their mouths. Bella’s hands tentatively went to his chest, feeling his solid chest through the denim.
Brock pulled her closer, almost into his lap. The bed they were on squeaked, and the deep breathing from the other bed paused. Brock and Bella held their breath, and the sleeping person resumed his breathing. Bella had to stifle a laugh at the absurdity of their situation.
Brock’s mouth went up to hers again, and their tongues danced. His hands cupped her breasts through her top, eager to feel what she’d teased him with the night before. He grunted softly as he squeezed her.
Bella moaned as he found her nipples, giving them the first good tweaking they’d had in recent memory. His expert tugging and massaging brought began to have an effect on her downstairs, and she opened her legs slightly.
Continuing his deep kissing, Brock’s hand went to her knee. Slowly, achingly, tantalizingly he traced little circles all the way up her thigh.
Bella had to break off their kiss to concentrate on breathing, his attentions already driving her close to orgasm. She buried her face in his neck, alternating biting and licking. His stubble scratched her softly, his sweat heady and salty.
Bella felt his hands move even closer to her sex, and she grabbed him by the wrist. He froze completely, and she could feel his surprise when she pulled his hand up to her panties.
He grunted again when he felt how wet she was. Her panties, completely slicked through, were pulled aside by Brock’s confident fingers. They softly played in the wet messy bush around Bella’s pussy. Ever so softly, he ran a finger up the crease of her labia.
Bella shuddered.
Brock brought the finger to his mouth and sucked it clean. He whispered into her ear, “The brownie was fine, but your pie tastes much better.” He gently pushed her down on the small bed, and she laid back, eagerly.
Bella lifted her hips to assist Brock taking off her panties. Her head to the side, she looked over at the sleeping form in the bed next to them. The man was on his side, facing her. He still breathed heavily, but it seemed quicker than before.
Bella arched her back and closed her eyes as Brock began kissing his way up her calf. It had been an embarrassing number of years since a guy had gone down on her, and she had a feeling she’d never experienced anything like she was about to. His stubbly face added little scratches to the kisses he made. He nibbled on her thighs as he got closer to her flower.
Bella moaned out loud as his mouth blew cool air over her pussy. She ached for his attentions and grabbed his head in both hands. He knew what she wanted, and he flicked his tongue against her outer lips, tasting her juices again.
Bolts of lightning went off in Bella’s head as the first orgasm wracked through her. Her fingers made a death grip on Brock’s ears as she held him in place, feeling the waves of bliss crash through her. She opened her eyes and locked eyes with the man next to them.
Looking right at him, she saw him stroking himself under the covers. This made her even more aroused, the idea of pleasing two men. She slid three fingers into her mouth and sucked on them, relishing the pressure and the way they filled her mouth.
Brock, letting her first orgasm subside a little, began massaging her clit with his tongue. He gently took her nub between his lips, pinning it in place and unleashing whack after whack with his tongue. His hands kneaded the thick flesh of her ass, squeezing and releasing her plump bottom.
Bella arched her back and moaned, grinding her flowing pussy on Brock’s mouth. She mewled as cool air swept over her hot sex, Brock sitting up at the end of the bed. He looked at her savagely, one hand stroking himself through his denim overalls.
“Got something there for me?” Bella said at normal volume. She saw Brock shoot a look over at the person in the bed next to him.
Brock smiled, “Why not come here and take care of this?” he said, patting the spot next to him.
Bella shot up, attacking his ear with her mouth, whispering, “Let me show you my appreciation.” She slid down onto the floor in front of him. On her knees in front of him, her hands went to his overall buckles and undid them. She pulled his overalls down, releasing his free-balling wedding tackle. Sitting on the bunk, his cock draped thick and heavy over his balls.
She took his semi erect cock in her hand and gave it a few strokes, enjoying the feel of power in her hands. Her other lovers had been small of dick and low in confidence. Looking up into Brock’s smiling face, she opened her mouth a
nd licked his head.
“Oh shit!” he groaned, also no longer caring about being quiet. His hands went to brace himself from behind as his head fell back. He fought the urge to thrust his cock into her mouth.
From behind Bella, she heard the man get out of the bed and walk closer.
“Hey Brock, who’s your friend?” the voice said, like leather wrapped tightly around oak.
One hand on Brock’s cock, she turned to look behind her. Right above her face, eight inches of manhood hung down to greet her. She swallowed. “Hi, I’m Bella.”
“It’s nice to meet you Bella. My name is Carl Would you like to show your appreciation for another firefighting brother?” In the rays of moonlight shining in through the window, drops of pre-cum were already leaking out.
