    Rushing water filled the vacant building from the hose Mack Baird held firmly in his hands. The thick smoke swirled around him making it hard to see across the two-story building. He focused on his mission and relied on his training and experience, but he silently wondered if he’d get out of the scorching flames alive. His entire life would pass through his thoughts in the next hair-raising minutes.
    Even with his heavy gear and mask, he felt the intense heat attack through his protective covering. His skin felt on fire; the painful searing sensation ran the length of his muscular body, but he knew he had a job to do and he pushed himself further.
    Mack couldn’t figure out where the rest of the firemen were that night. He could hear shouts, but they seemed a long way from where he fought his fiery foe. His only hope was that help would show up soon. The flames crept up the walls and licked across the ceiling practically engulfing the room.
    The fire fed on the various combustibles in the area and seemed impervious to his hose and water. As clouds of smoke and steam mixed with the flames, Mack knew his fight was useless. He edged his way toward the only opening that didn’t have leaping flames shooting through it. Before he could make it across the room and reach his escape route, he heard the crack of wood overhead. He raised his head just in time to see a heavy beam breaking loose on the ceiling and plunge toward him. Mack tried to scramble out of the path, but with his heavy clothing, it proved impossible. The long timber had him trapped and there was no escaping. He glanced as the heavy beam landed on him. Oh, fuck, it’s going to hit me! The flaming length of wood struck with a searing pain through his head. His six-foot muscular frame collapsed in a heap on the floor. Although he tried, he couldn’t move his legs; they were trapped under the heavy beam.
    The hose and nozzle he had in has hands only moments ago were gone. The flames moved slower across the ceiling as the smoke thickened; the room beyond his facemask looked smaller – and darker… He fought his way back to consciousness, trying to right his world. He heard shouts, but they seemed a long way from where he lay on the wet floor. An eternity of time seemed to pass, but it may have only been seconds; Mack didn’t have a sense of time. The pain shot through his head again, and just when he was ready to give up hope, he felt a pair of hands tugging on the debris covering his legs.
    Once his legs were free, Mack felt the hands checking his legs for injuries. Those same hands brushed over his crotch and even in his state of pain, he felt excitement course through him at his strange savior’s touch.
    When Mack could focus his eyes, he glanced into the face of the man carrying him. Through his facemask, Mack saw a blur of dark curls and hazel eyes that made up the face of his rescuer. The stranger’s full lips split into a grin when he saw Mack had regained consciousness. Mack’s gaze traveled to the shiny metal pinned to his chest. The badge on his blue uniform proved he belonged to the
