Chapter Twelve

Becca took an empty seat at the end of the wooden sushi bar and checked her watch. If Quinn was crossing the Brooklyn Bridge—and buying lunch at Sushi Katsuei—she was up to something. And whatever it was, it felt big.

She drummed her fingers on the counter while she waited, thoughts of Jax creeping in as they always did when her brain was idle. Which was exactly why she’d been keeping busy, busy, busy. The last thing she needed to do was spend any more time thinking about him.

Even if he had given her the best orgasms of her life.

Still, he was infuriating and pushy, and she didn’t need him invading her life or her brain or her panties. No, what she needed was to focus on her photography. Her time would be much better spent trying to figure out how to leverage the FDNY Calendar of Heroes into something bigger, because what she really needed was more freelance work to build her portfolio.

And more of those mind-blowing orgasms.

Where the hell had that come from? She cringed and shook her head, attempting to clear her thoughts. After giving Jax the post-coital brush off—again—the odds were pretty good he was done handing out orgasms. To her, anyway. The other four million women in New York City? They were probably fair game. And that’s what she wanted, wasn’t it? So why did the idea of Jax moving on to someone else leave such a sour taste in her mouth?

Thankfully, Quinn breezed into the tiny restaurant, providing a much needed distraction.

“Sorry I’m late,” Quinn said, taking the empty stool to Becca’s right. “I always forget how long it takes to get to Brooklyn.”

Becca grinned. Manhattanites acted like Brooklyn was an entirely different country, when in reality it was a twenty-minute ride on the subway, a trip she made twice a day Monday through Friday.

Once they’d ordered a variety of sushi rolls, Quinn was ready to talk business.

“So, did you see the article I wrote on the models from the FDNY Calendar of Heroes?”

Had she seen it? The article had set off a firestorm among Quinn’s female readership. “Of course I saw it. I think every woman in Manhattan commented on that article,” she teased.

“Exactly,” Quinn said, flipping her hair over her shoulder. “I swear when I write about serious matters, no one gives a damn, but throw in hot, sexy dudes and my reach grows exponentially.”

“I’m not so sure that’s actually a good thing.”

“Tell me about it.” Quinn snorted. “But I’m a woman of the people, and I intend to give them more of what they want. They’ve made it quite clear they want a series featuring those sexy firefighters.”

“How does your editor feel about this?” It was hard to imagine the magazine approving an entire series dedicated to a shirtless FDNY. Besides, Quinn tended to favor serious, investigative pieces, and this pitch sounded a lot like fluff.

Quinn waved dismissively. “I’ll get her on board. Besides, I fully intend the whole thing to culminate in a piece of legitimate journalism about the danger of their work.
