Igniting Ember by R Sullins

Ember
I just want to complete my assignment without my “best friend” and her new bestie ruining everything.
They’re just firemen.
Barechested.
Holding baby animals.
Seriously, nothing to see here. Just let me do my job. And stop looking at that one, he’s mine.

I had been waiting so long for Miss Right that I might have come on a bit strong with she ended up right in front of me.
Now I just needed to make her fall in love with me.
Adopt the kitten she adored? Check
Get her to my house? Check
Save her from a crazy person trying to hurt her?
Well, it’s a good thing I’m a fireman and have the right equipment for the job.
