Men of Firehouse 44: Colby and Bianca's Story (6 page)

-Colby-

              “I can’t believe you feel that strongly about someone you just met.”  Drew said.

             
“Well don’t be surprised by it.  I’m surprised enough as it is.”  Colby laughed.

             
“You’re not exactly known for the relationship type of guy.  Hell, half the time, you don’t even remember their damn names.” 

             
“She’s different.  I can’t explain it man.  Really, there is just something about her.  I feel like a damn woman.  I think about her when I wake up, and before I go to sleep, not to mention all the times during the day.  I literally can’t keep my mind off of her.  The damnedest part is, I hadn’t fucked her until today.”

             
Colby stood there, watching the look of real surprise spread across Drew’s face.

             
“Dude, you’re fucking in love.  How is that even possible?  I thought you had to have a heart to love.”  Drew laughed.

             
“Fuck you!  I have a heart and I’m not in love.  Jesus!  I’m just…infatuated with her.”

             
“Call it what you like, but you’re in for a hard road ahead of you.”

             
“How would you know, have you ever been in love?”

             
“Hell no, and I ain’t looking for it either.” 

             
Both men laughed as they pulled into the beach.  Colby looked around.  He didn’t see her vehicle but he knew she couldn’t be far behind. 

             
Being apart from her today was already killing him.  He felt like a damn school boy about to have his first kiss.  He was giddy and excited on the inside and fighting to maintain a somewhat normal outside because he sure in the hell didn’t want to hear anything from the guys. 

             
He had shared some stuff with Drew, but Drew was his best friend, close enough they called each other brothers.  He knew he wouldn’t repeat anything to the other guys.  Hell, if the shoes were reversed, Drew would even come to him.  Colby knew that and trusted Drew with his life.

             
“So how does she feel about you?”

             
“Hell if I know.  One minute I think that the feelings are mutual and the next she is almost closed off.  She’s had some pretty crappy relationships I think.  She told me some of it, but I think there is still more she is hiding.  Just don’t know what it is.”

             
“Have you asked her about it?  Maybe she is waiting for you to ask.  Or maybe she wants to know if you have figured it out yet.  You know how women are, half the time they want you to figure everything out on their own.”

             
“Not Bianca.  She’s different.  She’ll tell me when the time is right.  She can’t be pushed.  If I push her, she’ll run or close herself off more.”

             
“Huh.  I thought chicks liked to talk about their problems.”

             
“Not this one.  Let’s get this shit unloaded.  Where the hell is everyone?”

             
“Don’t worry, they’ll be here.”

-Bianca-

            
 
Bianca hadn’t even made it out of the car when she heard Crystal whistle and turned looking at what had caught her attention.  Immediately she smiled, hell yeah.  That was exactly what she thought Crystal had noticed and he was all hers.

             
“Now that is what I’m talking about.”  Crystal smacked her lips loudly as she is had just applied lip balm.

     There stood two Adonis looking men unloading the back of a black and silver-pick-up truck.  Their muscles straining across their tan bare backs as they pulled coolers out to set
them upon the grassy hill. The sun beat down on them, making their skin glisten. 

             
Bianca could tell which one was Colby.  It was easy.  And the sweat was calling out to her to lick it clean.

     Getting out of the car they
, quietly closed their doors and sat on the hood of the car so they could continue admiring the view before them. 

    
Bianca could feel the tightening of her budding desire as she watched him bend over stretching the material tightly across his firm ass.  Catching her breath, she remembered digging her fingers into that ass just this morning. Moaning out and calling out his name as he thrust his hips and slid his cock into her repeatedly.

             
Her cheeks and body was on fire and the minute he turned, smiled and bent his head to the side, her eyes glued themselves to him as her pussy went into hyper drive.

             
She watched as he jogged over to greet her, leaning down and pressing an innocent kiss to her cheek.

             
“Glad you made it.  Did you have any problems finding the place?”

             
“Uh…nope.  Easy.”  Her words came out more breathy and quicker than she had intended.  He just smiled at her before turning his attention to Crystal.

             
“Who do we have here?”  He smiled.

             
“What?  Oh…sorry, this is my friend, Crystal Angel.  Crystal, this is Colby.  He is the neighbor that I was telling you about.”

             
Taking her hand, Colby shook it and gave her a sexy smile.  His normal smile, but sexy as hell.  “Nice to meet you.  I hope you like to swim and can put up with some rambunctious firemen.

             
“If they look anything like you, I’ll be just fine.”  Crystal whispered.

             
Laughing, he turned.  “Drew, come over here.  There’s someone I want you to meet.”

             
Bianca couldn’t help but to notice the strange look on Drew and Crystal’s face as he approached.

             
“Shit.”  Crystal muttered under her breath.

             
“Hey, you okay?  Your face looks like its on fire.”  Bianca whispered into her ear.

             
“Nope.”  Was Crystal’s only response.

             
“Drew, this is my neighbor Bianca.  I do believe you have seen her a time or two.  And this is a friend of hers.  Crystal.” 

             
Bianca watched as Drew smiled, “nice to formally meet you.”  He held his hand out.  Crystal shook it but didn’t respond and didn’t look at him either.

             
“Can I assume you two have already met?”  Colby asked. 

             
Bianca was glad that she wasn’t the only one that noticed something going on with the two of them.

     “Briefly, I stopped in to make an appointment at her tattoo shop.” 

      Bianca felt some pity for Crystal, although she didn’t know what was going on.  “What can we do to help?”  Seeing the look of relief on her friends face, she knew that she had made the right choice.

     Carrying a lawn chair to the beach didn’t sound like a lot, at least not until she started down the path that was overgrown in places with sticker bushes.  It was obvious this place was not one that saw a lot of traffic.
Colby walking in front tried to clear it and hold back the longer tree limbs that threatened to swing back to hit her, but he had his arms full with inner tubes. 

     Stepping off the path
, she was amazed at the little piece of heaven he had led them to.  The clearing boasted of a picnic table with a homemade rock barbecue pit.  The beach beckoned her to sink her bare feet into the warm sand.  The water, glistening with the sunlight sparking off of it, promised a refreshing way to cool off.

     “Wow.” Crystal came to a halt next to her.

     “It’s amazing.”  Bianca gasped.

     Setting down the tubes, Colby relieved the girls of their loads and set the
m up under the large shade tree.  Grabbing one end of the cooler that Drew had brought, they set it over by the picnic table.

-Colby-

     “So what do you think?” Turning to
Bianca, he already knew the answer.  He was proud of this little area.  It was basically the guys’ secret hideaway.  It wasn’t as nice as the other private beaches, but it was the first piece of property he had worked his ass off to buy. 

     “It’s beautiful.  I can see how you would want to keep the place to yourself.”
  Bianca smiled.

     “The rest of the gang should be here soon. Do you feel like getting wet?”
  He watched as her cheeks heated, the look of shock apparent in her eyes.  Yeah, she knew what he was really talking about.

     “As a matter of fact, I’
m ready to jump in.  It looks wonderfully refreshing. Crystal?” 

     “Uh yeah, let’s jump in.”

              Colby knew what Bianca was doing.  She knew damn well he was watching and apparently was going to give him a show at it to. 

             
He watched as she took her time, slowly peeling her shirt off, keeping her arms arched over her head longer than necessary.  She arched her back and pushed her breasts forwards.  Then pulled her hair loose from her ponytail, she shook her head letting her red tresses float down to rest on her shoulders. 

             
He smiled as she turned to face the water and slid her short shorts down her hips, letting them fall to the sand where she flipped her foot and let her flip flop fly through the air. 

             
He felt his other half fly to attention.  He was ready to jump in, pull her back out and take her right there on the damn beach in front of all of his friends.

             
“Well, that was rather exciting.  Who would have thought all that was under those clothes.”

             
“Dude, you’re my best friend, but I will seriously kick your ass.”  Colby turned, staring his friend down until his friend smiled back.

             
Colby caught movement over Drew’s shoulder and watched as Brett and Elliott made their way down. 

             
“About damn time you two made it.  Thought we were going to party on our own.”  Colby called out.

             
“Where’s Adrianna at, Brett?”

             
“She had to work today.  You know her, never takes a damn day off.”

             
“Then you’re not giving her a good enough reason to.”  Colby laughed.

Chapter Eight

-B
ianca-

              Without looking back to see if she was still being watched, she ran into the water and dove beneath the surface.  The coolness of the water was just what she needed to cool not just her heated skin, but her insides that were desperately on fire.

     “Wow, I didn’t know you were a stri
pper on the side.”  Crystal bobbed her head up out of the water beside her.

     “What are you talking about? 
I just took off my clothes to get in the water.”

     “Yeah.  You stick with that story.  But just so you know from the look on Colby’s face th
is water is going to be boiling the minute he gets in.”

             
Bianca shrugged her shoulders and smiled.  “Good.”

     Hearing the sound of more voices
, the girls turned to watch as two more golden hunks came through the trees, carrying yet another cooler between the two of them.

     “I don’t know about you, but I think I am going to become a volunteer fireman.” 

     Splashing water at her friend, “You need to cool off.”  Bianca had to admit whatever they were feeding the guys at the firehouse was definitely was working.

     Treading water
, she watched the camaraderie that was obvious among the men.  They more than shook hands, it was more like brotherly hugs.  Laughter and fake punches exchanged until one of the guys noticed the girls.

     “Well, hello down there.”  The big blond standing beside Colby called down to them before turning to his friend.

              “Oh…My….God…  I think I just came.”  Crystal said as her jaw dropped open.

             
Bianca started laughing at her friend.

             
“No seriously, it’s like Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday, night and so on.  This could be fucking awesome.”  Crystal laughed.

             
“All but one.” Bianca smiled.  Colby was off limits.

             
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, fucking prince charming is off limits.”

             
“That’s right.  So you wanna tell me what was up with you and Drew?”

             
“Yeah, you didn’t tell me it would be him!  That’s the dude from the shop I was telling you about.”

             
“You mean the one that saw you and your BOB dancing and swaying around the shop?”  Bianca couldn’t hide the amusement behind this.

             
“First is was not battery operated.  Yes it’s him and it’s not fucking funny.”

             
“At least he’s hot.  It could be worse, he could be toothless with greasy hair.”

             
“Eww.. Don’t ruin it for me.” 

             
“Told you so.”  Bianca laughed again.  This whole situation was funny as hell.  She didn’t even know what had happened until Crystal had told her.

             
“Looks like your man wants to swim too.”

             
Bianca turned watching Drew and Colby strutting down towards the water.  “He’s not the only one.”

             
“I noticed.  It’s time for me to get out now.”  Crystal said, swimming towards the shore.

             
“Oh, don’t be a party pooper.”  Bianca called out.  But it didn’t keep her attention as she watched Colby dive under.  She waited and waited and it seemed like forever, but then she could see him, swimming in the crystal clear water in front of her and she lost any concentration or curiosity she had with Crystal and Drew.

             
She smiled, laughing as she started swimming backwards.  It was no use as his large hand gripped her ankle and pulled her under.  She gasped air just as she went down only for him to let loose and her to bob back to the surface, spitting water and laughing.

             
“You can’t get away from me.”  Colby laughed.

             
“So I noticed.”  Bianca stared at his eyes, lit with fire, they totally hypnotized her. 

             
She gasped again as his arms snaked around her, pulling her towards him.

             
“Now this is what I call fishing.”  Colby smirked.

             
“Well, I am some pretty convincing bait.”  Bianca laughed, but it didn’t last as his mouth came down on hers.  Again, she breathed in a quick breath, before his mouth closed over hers, thrusting his tongue deep into her mouth.  She moaned at just the taste of him, wrapping her legs around his waist.  Immediately her mind went to the erection that pressed against her cunt that was wet and ready and it wasn’t from the water around them.

             
“You two get a room already!”  Brett yelled from the beach.

             
Colby broke the kiss.  “I swear I can’t take them anywhere.”

             
“It’s okay.”  Bianca breathed, still staring at his lips.  The little wicked side of her burst out as she quickly placed both hands on his shoulders and pushed his unsuspecting body under the water.

      After chasing each other and playing in the water a bit longer
, they decided to join their friends on the bank. Walking hand in hand, to the onlooker they appeared to be very much in love.

     The guys had gathered up some broken limbs
to use in the fire, while Crystal pulled out the contents from the basket and set up the picnic table, leaving the food stuff in the safety of the coolers.

     Bianca joined Crystal
, admiring her ability to set a perfect table even on the beach. 

             
“Trust me, this is nothing.  When I was younger, I had to take classes to make sure I would be the perfect hostess.”

             
Bianca knew that Crystal didn’t like to talk about her family’s wealth, but there definitely had been times when Crystal was glad to have the opportunities she had.             

             
Bianca pulled a couple of the lawn chairs behind them.  Both of them found relief from the sun under the shade of the umbrella.  Of course, the position that they were in helped.  The view of the powerfully built men preparing a place for a bonfire that evening was wonderful.

     
“I can’t believe you were going to keep all this to yourself.” Crystal fanned herself with her hand, smiling widely.

    
Bianca lightly slapped at Crystal. “I was not keeping them to myself, hell, I really didn’t even know anyone but Colby. And I really don’t know him that well.”  She thought back on the morning’s events.  She was glad her friend’s attention seemed to be drawn to Drew, as she could feel the heat in her face just from the sight of Colby moving around.  The sun sparkled against his muscular frame and Bianca felt her mouth water.  Just the thought of running her tongue over each of the abdominal ripple he had was enough to make her want to fuck him right there.

     “So do you think any of them are attached?”

     “I heard Brett mention a woman named Adrianne.  I assume that is a wife/girlfriend. But I’m guessing Elliot is free and of course your man Drew.”  Bianca elbowed her, as if saying, ‘go for it.’

     “He is not my man!”
The smile on Crystal’s face spoke volumes.

     “Sure, we
can stick with that.  For now.” Turning her attention back onto Colby, she watched with pride the way he stood among the other men.  She could tell they respected him and that he was a leader among them.  The power exuded from him, turning her on even at a distance.

-Colby-

            
 
“So what’s the story?”

             
Colby turned to look at Elliot.  “There isn’t a story.  I am assuming you are talking about Bianca.”

             
Okay, so there was a story, but he wasn’t sure he wanted to share it right now.  Not to mention, he didn’t know where they were going.  He knew how he felt about her.  He knew that he wanted her even right now.  And he definitely knew that she was going to be on his mind a lot. 

             
“Come on now.  Seriously, share.  I thought she got on your nerves.  Now all of the sudden she is here and from the looks of it, there is definitely something going on between the two of you.”

             
“Elliot, do you ever give up.  We hooked up.  I like her, she likes me.  Not much to it.”

             
There was a lot to it, and a lot more to her.  He couldn’t keep his mind off of her.  This morning had been so different.  For both of them. 

             
“Well, you can say what you want to, but don’t kid yourself.  I see the way you look at her.”

             
Colby turned around, looking back at her.

             
“He’s right you know.”  Drew said, patting Colby on the shoulder.  “But enough about that.  What’s the story with her friend?”

             
“Hell if I know.  I met her the same time you did.”

             
“Not exactly true.  She runs that tattoo shop down town.  I kind of caught her in a… compromising position.”  Then Drew went on to explain the situation she had been in.

             
Colby couldn’t believe what he was hearing.  He tried to control the laughter fighting to break free, but it was useless. 

             
“What the hell did she do?”  Colby choked out.

             
“Ran into the back room and didn’t come back out.  I got tired of waiting on her and left.  Didn’t go back.”

             
“No wonder she looked at you like that.  I thought her eyes would pop out of her head and wondered what the hell was up with that.”

             
“Yeah.  Well, find out about her for me.”

             
“Really?  Are you trying to get my ass in the dog house tonight?”

             
“Just find out if she’s gay.” 

             
“Gay?  Why would you think that?  Look at her.  She hasn’t stopped drooling over you since she got here.  I highly doubt it.  If you want the answer to that, you’re gonna have to get it yourself.”

             
“Jackass.  You doing the ugly monkey with her friend.  It could be easy pillow talk.  And the whole gay thing come in because why else would she have a fucking strap on around her waist, smiling at herself in the mirror?”

             
“It could be just as easy as walking up to her and asking her.”

             
“Yeah, because getting slapped is what I look forward to.  It would be the highlight of my fucking day.”

             
“I know it would be mine.”  Colby laughed.

             
“She isn’t just looking at me you know.  She’s looking at all of us.  Do you think she gets around?”

             
Colby reached over grabbing his beer.  “Look, just go get her and take her off somewhere and find out all the little things you would like to know.  If nothing else, maybe you’ll get laid.”

             
“Maybe that’s exactly what I’ll do.” 

             
Colby watched as Drew grabbed two beers and marched over.  He didn’t hear what he was saying but admired the smile that he gave Bianca.  Drew was talking to Crystal, but Bianca was liking it.

             
Finally, Crystal stood and walked away with Drew, giving Colby the perfect opportunity to have some alone time with Bianca.

             
He sat down in Crystal’s abandoned chair.  “Do I wanna know why you were smiling?”

             
“Because I find it comical that after their…uh..first meeting, that he would look so nervous.  Hell if I was her, I would have left the minute I saw him here.”  Bianca laughed.

             
Colby laughed with her.  “Such an embarrassing moment it was.  One I’m sure we will laugh about for a long time.”

             
“He told you?” 

             
“Yep.  She told you.”

             
“Yeah, but it’s different for us.  You know, girl talk.”

             
“What, guys can’t talk?” 

             
“Well…I guess they can, we just never assumed that you did.”

             
“Well now you know.”  Colby smiled, briefly.  He noticed the look of what appeared to be nervousness mixed with some fear.

             
“What is it?  Did I say something wrong?  Would you rather not know that guys talk?”
