Four Firemen For Christmas: A Reverse Harem, Pregnancy Romance, page 13
“God bless women’s ability to have multiple orgasms.” Alex groaned from where he lay on his back beside me. His chest rose and fell as he worked to catch his breath. “I love watching you come. It’s my new favorite thing.” He rose to his knees and pulled my hair over my shoulders, then kissed my neck. “Keep trying to break him, and he’ll figure out a way to pay you back. Maybe he’ll keep you in bed all day, fucking you until you can’t walk. Then I’ll take a turn. I’ll run you a warm bath, then fuck you in the tub.”
Samuel drew my nipple into his mouth and sucked hard. He plucked the other, rolling the nipple between his thumb and forefinger. The sudden pinch of pain was the last thing I needed to drive me into another orgasm. I collapsed onto his dick and undulated my hips to keep the pleasure going as long as possible.
“That’s it.” Samuel feathered kisses over my chin and jaw. “Now you’re ready.” He lifted me off his erection. “Look how ready you are, Emma. You drenched me so good I won’t need any lube.”
I looked down at his cock covered in my juices and grinned sloppily. I felt drunk on the waves of euphoria. “Take my ass, Samuel. I want you both inside me so I can come again. The more you give me, the more I want. I might never leave this bed again. It feels so good.” I was strung out on sex, and I didn’t care what came out of my mouth. As long as they kept making me come.
“Turn around.” Samuel’s hands dropped to my hips, and he guided me so that my back was to him and my front to Alex. He pushed up onto his knees and bent me at the waist. His other hand slid between my ass cheeks. He spread my juices over my back hole and pressed his first finger in. “You’re right, sweetheart. This is going to be tight. But you can take it. I know you can.” He replaced his finger with the head of his cock. The tip pressed hard into my ass, and I bit my lip at the strange sensation. He worked his way into me slowly, stopping several times to let me adjust. The sensation of fullness made my tongue feel thick in my mouth, and I barely breathed until he reached around my hip and used his thumb to circle my clit.
“We’re almost there.” His voice sounded strained, and I looked over my shoulder to see veins standing out on his neck and arms. He showed an enormous amount of restraint. “You’re doing great. Just a little more.”
Alex moved beside me and rubbed his hands up my back and around my ribs. He teased my nipples as Samuel finger fucked my clit. “I’m so full.” I lowered my head to the bed, offering him all of my ass. “Damn, it feels so good. Don’t stop. Please don’t stop.”
“I’m not going to stop.” He eased forward again and let out a breath. “I’m in. Give yourself a second, then straighten while Alex gets into place.”
I wiggled my hips to get a better feel of him.
“Fuck me. Be careful doing that. I’m barely holding on, Emma. I want to make this good for you, but you’re so damned tight. It’s all I can do to wait.” Samuel palmed my hips and gave a tiny thrust.
“Holy shit.” I straightened too fast and had to stop to catch myself.
Alex walked toward me on his knees.
I arched back into Samuel and wrapped my arms around his neck. He kept circling my clit with his thumb until Alex threaded his cock into my pussy, then he moved to my breasts.
The fullness I’d felt before was nothing to this. Every time I breathed, I felt them shifting inside me. Alex withdrew, then pushed deeper.
“I felt that.” Samuel panted into my ear. “I feel Alex in your amazing cunt. I feel every move he makes, and I feel you tightening around him. It makes your ass tighter too. You feel so good.” He pumped in and out in short bursts, his dick hitting that muscle deep inside that made me gasp.
“I need you to come now.” I kept one arm hooked around Samuel’s neck and put the other around Alex’s. The three of us were so close together, I felt every breath they took. The slightest move drove me closer to the last and final climax for the day. I felt it start and the raw power of it swept through my entire body in a tidal wave. I moved my hips, pulling away from Samuel and taking Alex deeper, then repeated the motion. They braced and helped me keep up the rhythm.
“I’ve never felt anything like this.” Alex pressed his forehead to mine. “This has to be the best sex I’ve ever had.”
“Me too.” Samuel’s cock pushed in hard and fast. “I may never be the same after this.”
Their words and actions combined, hitting all my emotional needs as well as physical. This time, when the orgasm came, I screamed out for both of them. I’d never felt anything this powerful in my entire life. It was like every nerve came alive at the exact same time and sent waves of the orgasm into every muscle and bone. Samuel came a second after me, his own release filling me with an impossible tightness as he bellowed and shot his cum in my ass.
Alex lasted another five seconds before he lost control. His eyes closed and he gripped my shoulders while he bowed backward and thrust one last time into my seizing pussy. Every pulse of his cum sent a new rush of feeling through me.
We collapsed into a heap. I struggled to catch my breath and burst out laughing.
Samuel pulled my hair back from my face and kissed my temple. “What’s so funny?”
“This has to be the best Christmas ever. I got my present two weeks early.” I turned my head to capture his lips. And maybe I’d get plenty more before it was all over.
Alex cursed and withdrew from me. He shook his head and held up a hand when Samuel tried to speak.
“Alex, what’s wrong?” I asked.
He rolled off the bed and grabbed his clothes, not bothering to put them on before he stalked from my room.
My door slammed shut without an answer.
The sudden silence and the tension radiating off Samuel almost made me afraid to look at him.
“What was that all about?” My chin quivered at Alex’s reaction.
Samuel caressed my shoulders and pulled his cock out of my ass while kissing my shoulder. “It’s not you, Emma. Alex is suffering from a bad breakup. I guess he’s not as over it as I thought.”
“Oh.” Well, shit. That didn’t make me feel any better. If anything, I felt worse. We’d just had the most wonderful sex of our lives. I’d hoped he would stick around. Maybe become friends? Was that too much to ask of the guys I was sleeping with?
Another, more agonizing thought rushed in. Did Alex have sex with me out of desperation? Was I breakup sex? I didn’t like the idea of being Alex’s rebound girl.

HENRY
I was supposed to be enjoying dinner with my crew, yet I couldn’t stop thinking about Emma. Not just her, but that she’d had sex with Samuel and Alex… at the same time. The thoughts that conjured kept me locked in my office most of the day after she left.
Samuel slid the pot of spaghetti over to me with a meaningful look. “You need to eat, Captain.”
Alex and Derek were already shoveling mouthfuls in. We all ate like we were starving most times because it never seemed to fail that the minute we sat down to eat, we got called out to a fire.
The large kitchen was situated so we could see the truck and anyone who might walk into the bay. Derek and Alex sat side by side across from me. Their voices were low and their expressions tight. Was Alex telling Derek about his day with Emma? The thought didn’t make me jealous. Well, yes, it did, actually. I wanted to be there with Emma. Even if it meant sharing her with Derek, Alex, and Samuel. We lived together during our shifts at the station. We ate together. Hell, we’d talked about renting a house together because why the hell not. In this economy, it made sense and we all got along.
I watched Alex while taking a careful bite. My stomach continued to twist with images of Emma in bed with not just Alex and Samuel but me as well. It was an intoxicating idea. The thought of a deeper sexual relationship with Emma pulsed through me. She’d responded well to our first session. Was it possible she would take more?
Thank fuck Emma didn’t work our same twenty-four-hour shifts. She’d gone home a few hours ago, leaving the atmosphere in the station tense and uncertain.
“Hey, Alex, you catch the game last night?” Derek asked while wiping up the last of his sauce with a slice of garlic bread.
Alex glanced quickly at Samuel, then shook his head. “No. What did I miss?”
The bells rang before Derek could answer. We all threw our napkins on the table and bolted out to the truck. We had our routine down to a science. We stepped into our gear and hopped onto the truck within minutes.
“Wells, take the wheel.” I jammed my helmet on and grabbed hold of a bar as Wells peeled out of the bay and screamed down the street. My heart kicked into overdrive. Man, nothing felt like this. The thrill of racing toward danger, the knowledge that we were the line between salvation and devastation, it never failed to give me a punch of adrenaline.
We all jumped from the truck as soon as Wells slowed enough for us to land safely. “Derek, you and Alex get a line on the house. Samuel, start on the hose. Wells, get that hydrant for Samuel.”
They all scrambled to their jobs. Derek and Alex rushed toward the squat brick home while I gave it a quick assessment. Houses like these, with old wood in the walls and dried out roofs, were the most common this time of year. People let their Christmas trees dry out and they catch fire, or an old heater gets plugged into a bad outlet. There were a hundred things that could spark a fire like this, and in a home this size, it was almost a guaranteed total loss.
That didn’t mean we wouldn’t try.
Anyone in the home?” I trotted over to the police already pushing back curious onlookers.
The lieutenant in charge shook his head. “Homeowner says it’s just her and her daughter. But her daughter was visiting a neighbor. So was she. She’s not sure what happened or how the fire started.”
“Great. Thanks.” I nodded and rushed back toward my team. “Alex, you and Derek hit the roof. Samuel, you and Wells see if you can keep it contained.”
Alex's head jerked up and he yanked his helmet off. “I hear someone.”
“Homeowner says no one is inside.” I tapped my helmet. “Get your helmet back on.”
He ignored me and ran toward the house. He jammed the helmet into place and raised both arms over his head while leaping through the open doorway.
“Alex!” Samuel shoved the hose at Wells. “Keep going.”
Derek tore off after Alex, leaving the hose.
“Shit.” I cursed and followed as another fire truck arrived. I recognized the captain and gave him a hurried explanation as I ran past.
“We’ll cover you.” He turned and started bellowing orders to his team.
I lost sight of him while plunging into the house’s smoky depths. All I cared about was getting my people out safe. Fuck Alex for breaking protocol and my orders. What the fuck was he thinking? I expected this from Derek, but I’d never expected Alex to turn into the reckless one. Maybe that breakup had been harder on him than I realized. Was this what Samuel meant when he said he was worried about the kid?
Did this have anything to do with Emma?
Acrid smoke filled the house, making it almost impossible to see. “Alex? Derek?” I kept bellowing their names as I moved from room to room.
Samuel appeared at my left side. “Any sign of them?”
“Nothing. One of you better fucking answer me.” They should’ve been able to hear me through the helmet’s comm system. I poked the floor with my fire ax, checking the stability before taking a step. Samuel did the same beside me. We move quickly but cautiously. If one of us fell through the floor, then we’d really be up shit creek.
“Kitchen.” Derek’s voice came through, raspy and thick. “Alex hears someone crying.”
“Do you?” I had to ask. With the way Alex had been behaving, I needed to confirm if he was cracking or if this was a legit call.
“I-I’m not sure.” Derek sounded reluctant. Which meant Alex might be experiencing phantom cries. It happened sometimes. Mostly to guys who’d been in a few too many fires, firefighters who’d lost someone in a blaze. They heard those cries and followed them regardless of everyone telling them it was all in their head.
“Fuck all of you. There’s someone here.” Alex was breathless and agitated through the comms, but I recognized his deep passion for making certain no one got left inside. The last thing any of us needed on our conscience was finding out the woman was wrong about her daughter.
I motioned Samuel to move ahead of me. “We’re coming your way. Heads down. Watch out for each other.”
Beams groaned and popped overhead. The fire crawled up the walls all around us, but the main source of smoke seemed to be coming from the kitchen. Where my men might be hunting a phantom cry.
“You can go back, Captain. I got this. No one needs to get hurt if I’m wrong.” The determination in his voice fueled us all, and he received a round of fuck you’s from the entire group.
Ducking into the kitchen beneath a flaming crossbeam, I spotted their yellow suits a foot in front of me. “We’re right behind you. And you have five seconds to prove someone’s here before I toss you over my shoulder and drag you out myself.”
He knew I’d do it.
“Listen.” He dropped to a knee and strained forward. “There it is again.”
I listened with all my might. Just when I was about to give up and haul Alex out by the back of his coat, I heard it. A gentle sob.
“Is anyone here?” Alex crawled forward a few steps. “I’m with the fire department. I’m here to get you out. Can you tell me where you are?”
“Here,” a tiny voice squeaked. “Under the table.”
Well fuck me and call me an asshole. The kid was right. Regret and relief mingled together in a toxic brew that rolled acid up the back of my throat. “Alright, Alex. Get the girl and let’s get out of here.”
The place wouldn’t last much longer. Ash fell from the roof, landing on Derek’s helmet and covering his suit in a fine layer of gray.
“Captain, you need to get out of there.” The strange voice broke into our channel with a sense of urgency. “Roof is starting to sag on the north corner. The whole thing’s going to come down.”
“Hear that, Alex? Get your ass in gear.” I edged off to the side. “Everyone search, keep low. The table can’t be that hard to find.”
The ceiling groaned again and the structure began to buckle.
“Got her.” Alex let out a breathless whoop. “Let’s get out of here.”
He ran past me with a bundle cradled in his arms. Samuel charged ahead, keeping the way clear. A crash sounded behind me. I didn’t bother looking, but the sudden whoosh of flames and water raining in told me the roof was giving in. And we were in the northern part of the house. No exit except the one we’d come in through.
I gripped the back of Derek’s coat and propelled him forward as debris fell on every side. They were getting out. I’d make sure of it.
We burst out of the house and into the yard, each of us gasping for air. Alex never stopped, never even slowed. He carried the girl not only out of danger but toward the woman who’d miss her most.
The house collapsed in a heap of fire and fury. Sparks danced through the air and drifted in the cold breeze that stirred the bare trees all around us and between the neighboring houses. I turned once to look before focusing on my team. We’d barely made it out. A few more seconds and we’d all be extinct. No more Emma. The thought lodged like a boulder in my throat. For the first time in my career, I wondered if it was time to quit. Fear gripped me by the balls and strangled my breath.
The woman who’d been pointed out as the homeowner gasped and covered her mouth with her hands. “Ellie? Oh my God. What were you doing in there?” She faced the police officer. “She wasn’t supposed to be in there. She was visiting her friend next door.”
Alex deposited the girl on a gurney at the nearest ambulance, where a female EMT got to work listening to the girl’s lungs and slipping an oxygen mask into place.
The girl—Ellie—coughed and wiped her face with her sleeves. “I came home early. I wanted to surprise you with hot chocolate, but when I turned on the stove, it started burning.”
Mother and daughter threw their arms around each other and sobbed. The sight of it unraveled the tight knot of anger but didn’t dispel it altogether.
“Thank you.” The mom hugged Alex, then each of us, though we’d done nothing but try and get Alex to leave.
Alex patted the distraught woman’s back, then turned away. He headed back to the hose he’d abandoned and got to work adding the stream of water to the others. The house was a lost cause, but that didn’t stop us from doing all we could, including keeping it contained to this one lot.
Houses on either side were in danger. The slightest missed spark could light this whole neighborhood up if we didn’t do our jobs.
I followed Alex and grabbed him by the collar, dragging him away from the scene where we wouldn’t be spotted. “What the fuck do you think you were doing? What gives you the right to break protocol?”
“I heard someone, Cap.” Alex was relentless when he wanted to be, and right now, he felt justified.
“Do you need a suspension so you can get your head on straight?” I couldn’t really blame the kid, and I felt like the world’s biggest asshole for harassing him about it. But protocols were in place for a reason. They’re my brothers, every damned one of them. I’d die for any man on my team in a heartbeat. That didn’t mean I wanted them to give up their lives so carelessly. Not carelessly. I made myself look at the girl and her mother. If Alex hadn’t heard her, we’d all have heard about her death tomorrow.
None of us could stomach the idea of losing someone.
“I had to save her.” Alex leaned in close and stared me down. “It was my job to save her.”
“That’s no reason to charge into a burning house without backup. All you had to do was wait. What were you thinking? Or were you thinking at all?”
