As the captain of the fire department, I’m expected to lead my men during the yearly training drill and treat it like it’s real life, with actual victims who need our help. I head inside the building, operating mostly on instinct, when my eyes land on someone who turns my blood to fire and awakens a primal hunger in me I never even knew existed. She’s too beautiful to be real even as I carry her to safety. I don’t even know her name yet, but I know she’s gonna be mine. Apparently, I’m not the only one obsessed with her because some asshole has deluded himself into thinking she belongs to him. That changes a lot of things. See, I’m a nonviolent guy. I go out of my way to help people, even rescue cats. But the moment this piece of shit harms a hair on her head, well… I won’t be responsible for my actions.
