ME: Enjoy it. I’m working, and then I was going to meet you in the bar.

JACE: Cool. I was going to see what sightseeing stuff I needed to do. It’s my first time in London.

I froze. I didn’t know what possessed me, but in trying to pull all this together, I hadn’t even considered the possibility that Jace might have never been to London.

I glanced at my laptop, but then my gaze shifted back to the message.

ME: Take a quick shower and text me when you’re ready to go out.

Work was going to have to wait.

He texted me when he was ready, and I headed down to the lobby. When the elevator doors opened, I stepped out and walked around a corner, seeing him near the reception desk, searching around.

A polo fit snug around his bulky form, and his jeans showed off that curve in his rear. I figured I’d be eager to see him, and the chemistry he’d stirred that night in my hotel room awakened once again as I felt a shift in the crotch of my pants.

When I caught his gaze, he gave me a once-over, a grin spreading across his face.

“Hey, there, sharp stuff,” he said.

“How’s my Hottie Firefighter?” I asked, offering a hug.

I was surprised I’d just called him the very thing I’d been so frustrated with Carter for saying, but he was one hell of a hottie firefighter.

As I pulled away, he said, “I’m assuming you’ve been to London before.”

“Yes, I’ve been to London.”

“You’ve been to a lot of places, I guess.”

“Yes.”

“Well, I’m gonna be real. I’m starving right now, so do you mind if I grab a bite first?”

“There’s an amazing restaurant around the corner. We can head over there, and then we’ll go see Big Ben, maybe the Tower of London. You just let me know what you want to see, and I’ll take you there.”

“Really?” he asked, glancing me up and down the way he had before.

I burst into laughter. Of course I wanted to mess around with Jace. Anything with a pulse would have wanted to mess around with the guy.

I knew we couldn’t do more than that, knew we had to draw the line, because fuck if I was getting involved with some guy who was about to skyrocket into fame, but after that kiss, there wasn’t a thing in the goddamn world that was going to keep me from finding a way to have that again…and so much more.

One time in college. That kept playing again and again in my mind.

However, as much as I may have wanted to just take him back to my room and scratch this itch, I wasn’t going to let him miss out on an impressive city because I was a greedy motherfucker.

“Trust me,” I told him, “you save the sights that are easiest to see for last.”

I set my hand on his shoulder, guided him to the main entrance of the hotel, and we took to the streets.

Jace glanced around, clearly trying to take it all in. I told him a little about where things were located, possible ways that we could make our way around town, and then we reached the restaurant, and the host ushered us to a table.

“This is kind of nice,” I said as I looked around the familiar restaurant.

“What’s that?”

“When we met, I was the one out of my element in your hometown, in your fire station, which God knows that was the first time I’d ever been in one of those. But now the tables have turned.”

“I’ve never minded being out of my element.” Jace had this determined expression on his face, like he knew exactly what he wanted, and it reminded me of his comment in the hotel lobby.

“Yeah, doesn’t seem like much of an issue for you. Which is good, because all this looks like it’s going to be slightly outside your norm. How was the station about you heading out, by the way?”

“The guys are all happy for me. They even had a celebration for me leaving for a bit. It was over-the-top, considering I’ll be back, but it was nice that they thought of me. And they are all really cool knowing the money will be going to Fever Fight.”

“I bet. So you already took care of all that?”

“I didn’t make any promises or anything, but once everything’s signed, I have my uncle set up to help me get the ball rolling. He’s a lawyer, and he’s gonna help me orchestrate getting it all taken care of. I do my own taxes and stuff, but this seemed a lot more than that. I mean, when you said six figures, I was thinking more in the ballpark of a hundred grand, not six hundred.”

“You underestimated how popular you are. Celebrity goes a long way in this business, Jace. Hell, it’s everything.”
