MELTING POINT is a short novella by Kate Meader in her Hot in
Chicago series about the sexy firefighters of Engine No. 6.
This is the story of super hot playboy firefighter Gage
Simpson and former Marine-turned-chef Brady Smith. If you
read FLIRTING WITH FIRE then you are familiar with Gage. He
is the happy-go-lucky flamboyant sibling among the foster
firefighter siblings who keep you in stitches. Gage is so
gorgeous he could have anyone he wants, man or woman. The
instant he lays eyes on this grumpy chef he's a goner. Since
this a series about a family of foster siblings you will learn
the underlying issues for each of them. It will become obvious Gage
has some deeply hidden feelings from his painful childhood.
He has to come to terms about his relationship with his birth
mother in regards to his sexual preference. In the case of
Brad, the former Marine has some serious issues that he needs
to deal with from his time in the service. I have enjoyed
reading about these siblings and their various personalities. Gage puts himself out there to be with Brad. Because of his
issues from his time in the service, Brad is having a difficult
time accepting his feelings for Gage or even the
possibility of them having something together. They both have
issues from their past to deal with that will help them decide
if they can have a relationship. The one thing that is true
without a doubt is that when they are with each other they
bring each other to a MELTING POINT. Hot in
Chicago is a great series and I am looking forward to reading
about the remaining siblings.
SUMMARY
Things are heating up at Engine Co. 6 in this original
e-novella from Kate Meader’s sizzling
Hot in Chicago series! Superhot playboy firefighter Gage
Simpson has one particular man on
his mind: Brady Smith, a recalcitrant, moody chef who
makes
Gage melt from the inside out.
Features a sexy sneak preview of Playing with Fire! Firefighter Gage Simpson has it all: the job of his
dreams,
the family of his heart, and no
shortage of hot guys lining up to share his bed. “Fun and
easy” is his motto—and it’s kept
him sunny through a painful upbringing and steered him
away
from trouble. But when
trouble comes knocking in the form of a sexy, scarred,
tattooed chef with a harrowing past
and zero communication skills, Gage can’t help but be
drawn
to the flame. Brady Smith isn’t fun. And easy isn’t in his vocabulary.
When cocky Gage swaggers into his
restaurant kitchen, the former Marine-turned-five-star-
chef
is blindsided by the firefighter’s
beauty. Then confused that this golden guy with the
sparkling blue eyes and the body of a
god might be interested in him. As desire flares and
temperatures rise, Gage and Brady will
have to figure out if the heat between them is just a
temporary flash—or the beginning of
something real.
ExcerptUnder Gage’s healing hands, years of pain and loneliness sloughed away with the soapy
water down the drain. For these few stolen moments, Brady would luxuriate in the sensual
comfort of another man’s touch. Not just any man. This perfect man. But he needed more. He didn’t have the words to describe what, exactly, and maybe they
weren’t necessary because he had the word. The only word that mattered. “Gage.” Craving an anchor, a closer connection, he reached behind for Gage’s hip and encountered
. . . fabric. He was still wearing his boxer briefs. “Wh—why aren’t you naked?” Gage’s growl reverberated against his ear. “This sliver of wet cotton is the only thing
stopping me from drilling that gorgeous ass of yours, Brady.” Oh, God. On a chest-filling groan, Brady stepped back, seeking Gage’s cock. Found it.
Said hello, there with a humping grind into all that rock-hard, cotton-covered
magnificence. “F**k,” Gage gasped, pausing his hand on Brady’s chest midscrub. Both of them stilled as the sensual landscape was rearranged. Brady held his breath. Had
he gone too far? Expected too much? Was Gage really here to get Brady clean? All questions were answered when their bodies restarted as one in a slow, erotic grind.
Brady’s ass cuddled against Gage’s hard-on felt so good, the barrier of the wet cotton a
delicious friction as Gage’s cock stroked between Brady’s ass cheeks. The steamy cocoon
added to that spaced-out feeling that they were lost in a carnal world made for two. “First time I saw you was from the back,” Gage husked out. “First thing I saw was this
neck tattoo.” The slightest brush of Gage’s lips across the smoke curl tattooed at the
base of his skull made Brady shiver, even in the misty heat. “I wanted to kiss it, map it with my tongue, know all its secrets.” He pressed his mouth
to Brady’s neck more insistently, as if he could draw some deeper knowledge with that
simple touch. There was something almost pure about it, an innocent contrast to the
dirty friction below their waists. “Tell me about it.” “What?” “This tat. Why smoke?” Grasping Brady’s hips, he halted the motion of Brady’s ass
rubbing against all that amazing hardness. Brady tried to move, to get back to grinding
on Gage, but the bastard held him firm. The change-up was sheer torture. Was he
seriously demanding a conversation in payment for every second of pleasure? “Tell me,” Gage ground out when Brady still hadn’t given up the goods. He sounded like
he was in pain. Brady took some small comfort that he wasn’t alone. “It’s—it’s more common for people to get fire tattoos. Symbols of passion,
transformation, change. But I wanted smoke because it’s what remains. After the fire,
after everything is destroyed, you’re left with smoke and ash. You’ve gotta make
somethin’ out of it.” “And have you? Made something out if it?” Gage dug his fingers into Brady’s hip, almost
imploring. “I’m tryin’. It’s slow goin’, one step forward, two steps back, but I’m tryin’.” Even if
it took being high on pain meds to get him into that headspace. “Trying’s good. Trying’s sexy,” Gage murmured against Brady’s ear. “Now try telling me
what you need.”
