One Night Stand series One hundred and nineteen
The hum of the ceiling fan was the only sound in Theo’s apartment.Jasmine sat curled up on his couch, legs tucked beneath her, a soft blanket draped around her shoulders. The lights were off, just the flicker of the streetlamp outside breaking through the blinds.Every creak of the floorboards upstairs made her heart jump.He’d been gone for five days five impossibly long days on an out of town fire assistance call. He’d texted her once: We’re back tomorrow.That was all. No warmth, no promise, but enough for her to know he was safe.She hadn’t planned to come here.At least, that’s what she told herself as she’d stood in front of his door, key trembling in her hand. But the moment she’d stepped inside, everything in her chest had exhaled. His scent still clung to the air smoke, cedar, and that faint trace of soap that was purely him.She didn’t know what she was waiting for. Maybe closure. Maybe chaos.Maybe both.The sound of a key turning in the lock jolted her upright.Her heart

The road out of town stretched in a long silver line beneath the truck’s headlights, slicing through the fog that clung to the early morning.Theo hadn’t slept in twenty-four hours, but exhaustion was easier to deal with than silence. Silence left too much room for thoughts for her voice, for the memory of her skin under his hands, for the way she’d looked at him that night like he was worth loving.He gripped the steering wheel tighter, jaw set.The department had sent him and two others to help with a wildfire containment in Fairview, three towns over. It was supposed to be a temporary deployment, but part of him was grateful for the distance. Distance meant control. Distance meant breathing room.At least, that’s what he told himself.But when he parked near the staging area and saw the orange glow in the hills flames licking the sky like a living thing all he could think about was her.If I died out here, she’d never even know.The thought hit him harder than it should have.That

Jasmine hadn’t slept much since the night she’d left Theo’s house. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw him standing in that doorway bruised, tired, and breaking in a way she didn’t know how to fix.The silence between them was worse than any fight. It followed her everywhere: into the kitchen where Adam barely looked at her, down the hall where the air felt heavy, into her dreams where she could still taste smoke and salt and him.By the third day, she couldn’t take it anymore. She needed to talk to someone who didn’t belong to this suffocating small town someone who’d actually listen instead of judge.So she called Tia.Her best friend, her chaos twin, the one person who knew everything about her… except this.The phone barely rang twice before Tia’s familiar voice answered, loud and dramatic as ever.“Girl, don’t tell me you finally died of boredom in that town. I told you summering with your brother was gonna suck the hot out of your life.”Jasmine flopped onto her bed, staring

The drive back from the station felt endless.Jasmine kept her hands tight on the steering wheel, even though her knuckles ached. The sunlight outside was too bright, the air too still, like the world had the nerve to go on after what just happened.She’d seen the bruise on Theo’s jaw, the split on his lip. She’d seen the look in his eyes that quiet resignation, that weight that made her want to shake him until he admitted what she already knew: that none of this was just a mistake.But the truth was out now.Adam knew.And everything between them every secret glance, every whisper, every breathless second in the dark had just turned to something dangerous and impossible.When Jasmine pulled into the driveway, Adam’s truck was already there. Her stomach twisted. She sat in the car for a full minute before forcing herself out. The house loomed like it was holding its own breath, waiting to explode.The screen door creaked when she opened it.Adam was in the living room, sitting on the

The fire station buzzed with the aftermath of chaos the smell of smoke, wet ash, and sweat clinging to the air like a second skin. Engines were parked in their bays, hoses coiled, helmets stacked. But the noise, the laughter, the usual camaraderie of men who’d survived another shift was fractured that morning because Adam was coming.And everyone could feel it.Theo had just finished scrubbing down his gear when he heard the heavy footsteps echoing through the open doors. He didn’t even need to look up. The sound was too familiar, too deliberate.Adam.Theo straightened slowly, closing his locker door, his pulse tightening in his throat. He’d expected this dreaded it, really ever since he’d seen the look on he fucked jasmine and Theo knows friends siblings are off limits which he crossed, It had only been a matter of time.Adam didn’t stop walking until he was right in front of him, his boots thudding hard against the concrete. The other firefighters pretended to keep busy, but everyo

The bed was too big without him.Jasmine stirred, the cool sheets brushing against her bare skin as sunlight filtered through the half-drawn blinds. The faint smell of cedar, smoke, and Theo still lingered that dark, intoxicating scent that clung to her hair, her skin, even the pillow beside her.She reached across the bed instinctively, fingers grazing nothing but emptiness. The space where he’d slept was already cold.Of course he was gone.Theo always left early to respond to alarms, to chase the sound of danger before dawn even broke.Still, the ache in her chest wouldn’t ease.The events of last night replayed behind her eyelids like flashes of lightning his voice, rough and commanding, his hands, his eyes, the heat of his body against hers. The moment when all that restraint, all that carefully built distance, had finally snapped.It had started with a dare a stupid, harmless game that wasn’t harmless at all.She could still hear one of her brother’s friend voice laughing, teasi
