Dad’s Fireman Friend by Flora Ferrari

Brittany:

I thought it would be a bit strange coming back and working with my Dad, and that I might end up wanting to get away by the end of it, but I never imagined I would feel this way about him. Dom, my Dads crew mate and best friend.
Being near him, every day – I don’t want it to end. I want Dom… and I think he wants me too.
This is so wrong, isn’t it? Going after my own father’s best friend? I mean, he is literally old enough to be my Dad himself. Even if he’s a couple of years younger than Dad.
But when I look at Dom, and he looks at me, I don’t see an older man. I see the man of my dreams.

Dom:

I think back to the last time I saw Brittany, seven years ago, and the beautiful young woman standing before me. The girl in front of me is not an awkward fifteen-year-old with braces. No, she’s grown up – in a lot of ways.
In that moment, I know. It doesn’t matter that she’s Cyrus’ daughter, my best friend. She’s going to be mine. As much as I love my best friend, nothing’s going to stand in the way of me getting my girl. And making her mine forever.
