Surely there was no doubting that now.

But the last thing Kane wanted to do in this moment was to reveal to Cassie that he was a Daddy Dom.

That wouldn’t be good.

Kane needed to make his exit.

And fast.

‘Okay, you’re booked in for the course. Be there,’ Kane said, showing no emotion. ‘It’s not a request.’

With that, he turned and walked back towards his colleagues.

It was time to head back to the station and debrief.

‘Kane, you horny devil!’ McCall bellowed, reaching across the beat-up old couch and punching Kane in the arm.

‘What?’ Kane enquired, taking another slug of hot espresso.

They were back at the station and unwinding after the debrief.

This was always a time where the firefighters enjoyed unwinding a little. Letting the stress and strain of a call-out get out of their system.

The rec-room at the station was comfortable, relaxed, and definitely in need of an interior decorator to come in and add some flair.

Posters of hot cars on the walls.

Posters of hot women.

Hot men too.Plentyof those.

Basically, it was like a college dorm room.

It had all the standard kitchen equipment you’d need. Kettle. Toaster. A super-loud old refrigerator that was usually full to the brim with old unfinished Chinese takeout boxes.

‘You know what!’ McCall laughed, making sure that all the other fire fighters heard him. ‘You so had a crush on that cute girl. I could see that bulge in your pants practically bursting out. You horny fucker!’

The other men laughed.

This was typical banter.

And Kane knew that if he tried to deny it, things would only get worse. One thing he had learned was that if you’re the butt of the joke down at the station then the only option you have is to try and ride it out.

Then he remembered something.

‘Whatever,’ Kane said, attempting to dismiss McCall. ‘We all know the real horn-dog here is you. I saw you checking out Cassie’s friend. Her name’s Sydney by the way.’

McCall laughed and took that as a moment to back off.

Kane smiled. He’d clearly hit a nerve.

With McCall’s reputation as a commitment-phobe, he would be the last person to get involved in a discussion of this nature.

McCall liked to keep his private life private.

He was a Daddy Dom with plenty of kinks to keep him going all night long. But as far as revealing them went, he always kept his cards super-close to his chest.

With the attention off him for a moment, Kane’s mind wandered straight back to Cassie.
