‘No comment!’ Katie replied, totally revealing that she did in fact forget on purpose. ‘Let’s just say I have a glowing butt fairly often!’

Cassie let out a sigh.

She would have loved to be in a situation like Katie.

But maybe it just wasn’t meant to be.

Not yet anyway.

‘I hate to walk out of my first podcast interview, but I have to get to my fire safety course,’ Cassie said, easing herself out of the comfy corner chair in Katie’s studio.

‘You don’t want to be late, or you might get a spanking from Kane!’ Katie laughed.

‘Shut up!’ Cassie laughed. ‘Enough with the teasing. He’s not my Daddy. And there will be zero spankings happening!’

‘Sure, sure, we’ll see,’ Katie said.

Either way, it was time to leave.

The fire safety course wasn’t going to take itself.

The journey from Katie’s place to the fire station was nice and chilled out. Cassie put on some music on her headphones, and she happily walked through the park.

It was a great short-cut.

It took at least twenty minutes off the journey and meant that Cassie didn’t have to get an Uber. With the future of her comic still up in the air somewhat, she wanted to be as careful as she could when it came to money.

Walking wasn’t so bad.

Especially not in the sun.

Cassie arrived at the fire station and took a moment to admire it from the outside. It was a classic old style fire station. The bright red city fire department logo on the outside shone brightly.

The hustle and bustle of firefighters was audible from outside too. It was actually a little bit intimidating for Cassie.

A bunch of rough, tough firefighters?

Yes, it was hot.

But for someone so small as Cassie, it was a little bit scary too.

‘Hey, you made it,’ Kane said, appearing from around the corner and guiding Cassie inside. ‘Yep. Exactly ten minutes before the course is due to start too. You can take instructions. Good to know.’

I think Kane is almost certainly a Daddy.

Hot. Gruff. And definitely very bossy.

Yep, he must be.

Cassie walked with Kane through the main entrance foyer. The fire engines looked mightily impressive.

Hulking machines.

Perfectly polished.

Powerful.

Not too dissimilar to Kane, come to think of it.
