  CHAPTER 1

  It was the summer, and it was hot. Kevin awoke slowly in his bed, with little more than a thin sheet and a pair of boxer briefs covering his naked body. He opened his eyes, and looked over towards the door, where Jessica, his adoptive mother, was standing.

  “You know if you kept your door open during the night, the air conditioning would take care of the temperature in your room for you,” she said, smiling. “Unless sleeping half naked is just the newest fad for teenage boys.”

  Kevin smiled at her, and slowly began to pull himself out of bed. His mom was wearing a thin night gown that only just barely went down to her mid thighs. She was a petite woman, with big breasts, long luxurious hair, coupled with a nice butt, and a good natured aloofness that Kevin had cherished for as long as he could remember.

  “It’s not yet, but hey, who knows what the future might hold?” Kevin stretched his arms into the air and let out a yawn.

  “And on top of that, it’s almost 10,” said Jess. “I have an excuse, today’s my day off. What about you?”

  Kevin could tell from the expression on his mom’s face and the way her arms were comfortably folded across her chest that she was just teasing him. Jessica enjoyed his company, and was often almost desperate for his attention when she had free time away from the hospital where she worked. And lately, Kevin had been having a lot more of it to give to her.

  “Well, it’s not exactly like I have anywhere to be,” he said. “Not until I head back to school in the fall, at least.”

  “Most 19 year olds are ready and eager to work summer jobs, you know.” Jess moved closer to her son, leaning over him as he sat on the edge of his bed and inadvertently positioning her chest in a way that drew his eyes to her cleavage as though it had been traced with a highlighter.

  “Yeah, well I guess I’m lazier than most 19 year olds.” Kevin rolled his eyes at his mom. The truth of it was that there just weren’t very many jobs available in or around the town of Chaseville, especially not for a college student that would be taking off again in the fall.

  His mom relented, and smiled at him as she stepped closer. Kevin was fully aware that she didn’t really mean any of what she was saying. Jess had never been a strict parent, and had kept his behavior in line with incentives and encouragement throughout his childhood.

  She was the only mom that Kevin had ever known. His biological mother had died during childbirth, and Jessica, the sweet, sensitive 19 year old with a heart of gold, had been in the room when it had happened. She’d been a volunteer there, and had risen through the ranks after going to med school, eventually landing a job as a nurse practitioner.

  Something about Kevin and his situation, abandoned within minutes of experiencing the world for the first time, had resonated with her. It was a match that almost felt as though it was destined to be, and she’d done such a good job of raising him that Kevin had never even considered that there could be any alternatives.

  “Oh sweetie,” she said. “As long as you take care of your chores, you can wake up whenever you please. I’m just concerned about you, that’s all.”

  Jess set her hand down on her son’s thigh. Kevin felt the vibe of the room intensify as his fingers made contact. He swallowed, and looked over at his mom, doing everything in his power to see her as the caring, loving parent that she was, instead of the sexy seductive older woman that was the masturbatory fantasy of all the teenage boys in the neighborhood.

  “You don’t need to be, mom,” he said. “I’m fine. In two months, I’ll be off to school again, and as overworked and stressed out as ever.”

  Jessica smiled at him.

  “My sweet baby boy, you’re growing up so fast.” She leaned in to give him a kiss on the cheek, moving slower than she should have. As her body drew in close to his, Kevin could feel the heat resonating off it, and smell the leftover scent of the perfume she’d worn the day before. It was so familiar, but it made him feel very strange, and excited.

  “Uh, anyway, I should probably start getting dressed.” Kevin stood up abruptly, feeling his cock beginning to fill with blood. It made him feel dirty and guilty, and he wanted to get his mom out of the room before she had a chance to notice.

  “Okay, sweetheart,” she said. “I’ll have breakfast ready for you in a couple of minutes.

  She smiled at him, her eyes full of love and tenderness, and then reached her arms out and gently pulled him into a hug. Kevin let his own hands wrap around her back. The feeling her body and big, soft breasts against him was absolute torture, torture of a form that managed to put terribly naughty ideas into his head.

  “I love you, Kevin,” whispered his mom. Her words landed on his neck, tickling the hairs on his skin and making him wonder what it would feel like to have a kiss in their place.

  “I love you too, mom,” said Kevin. It took all of the willpower and control he could from throwing her down on the bed, and when the two of them finally parted, he was ashamed and embarrassed to see that he had an erection poking out against the fabric of his boxers. His mom either didn’t notice, or was polite enough to keep her attention up and away from it.

  “I’ll see you downstairs.” Jessica turned and left the room, and Kevin closed the door behind her.

  His heart was beating fast, and there was a strange, heavy emotion in his stomach. It had been like this since he’d entered puberty, and he didn’t understand why. The obvious answer was to attribute his sexual excitement to his mom’s beauty, her super model caliber smile and perfect curves.

  Kevin tried not to think about his body’s own physical reaction to seeing her, and having her so close to him, and when he did have to, he assumed it was just because of that. It was because all of the men around Jessica wanted her, it had to be. For his entire life, she had been chaste, never once bringing a single boyfriend or lover home to meet him.

  He tried not to think about how close their relationship had always been, and how dependent on each other they had grown. He tried not to think about how many times thoughts of her had entered his head while he was thinking about, and sometimes engaging with, other women.

  Instead, Kevin walked over to his dresser and began pulling out clothes. The dorms had been cleared out for maintenance over the summer, and he had all of his stuff back home with him. Life felt a lot like it had back when he’d been in high school, except with even more free time and even less to distract him. But his mom was still there, and in her, was the ultimate forbidden distraction. He shook his head, and tried to clear his thoughts.

  He pulled on a pair of shorts and a tank top, and then headed out into the hall. The house that he and his mom shared was a small, a tiny two bedroom abode with a rustic feel in the middle of a suburban, family friendly neighborhood where most of the other places dwarfed it in size.

  The living room was clean, as usual. Despite being a single mom, Jessica was an accomplished housekeeper, and worked to fulfill all of the roles and needs of a parent, without complaint. Kevin did his part, helping out with shopping and yard work while he was back home, and being both the man and the muscle
of the house.

  The smell of frying eggs and toast filled the room. Kevin walked over to the couch and sat down on it, turning on the TV and flicking through channels absent mindedly. As he passed by the local news, a large, eye catching announcement banner running across the bottom of the screen caught his attention.

  “We’ll bring you more updates as we get more information on the situation.” An attractive woman stood holding a microphone in front of the Dreis Building, the only large business complex in Chaseville. “I’ve been told that emergency administration personnel are appealing to other local municipalities for firefighting assistance. The firefighters of the local department have-“

  “What are you watching?” Jessica stepped into the living room, still wearing the tiny night gown she had woken up in, and looking almost like a newly ordained housewife. Kevin gestured for her to be quiet.

  “Several of the nearby buildings and houses have been evacuated. With most of the fire department still not on the scene, the outcome here seems dire. Again, we will bring you more updates as we get more information.”

  Kevin looked away from his screen and towards the window. He could see smoke on the horizon in the direction of the fire, high enough to give the town’s miniscule skyline a very ominous look. Jessica walked over to the couch, picked up the remote, and turned down the volume.

  “I know what you’re thinking, Kevin, but I’m sure the fire fighters and police will take care of it.”

  It was as though she had read his mind, but Kevin wasn’t surprised. He and his mom had a close enough relationship that often, one of them could guess what the other was thinking. And at the moment, he was very concerned for the safety of the people in the building on the TV. He took the remote from his mom and turned the volume back up.

  “…source inside the department has told us that many of the Chaseville’s firefighting volunteers have abandoned their duty. We can’t speculate on just why this might be, but if you look at the fire, you can see that it certainly is beginning to get out of hand.”

  A fire engine hurtled by in the street behind the reporter. Kevin got a glimpse of the driver, an attractive older woman, and noticed that it appeared like she was the only person on the truck. He felt his heart start knocking against the inside of his chest and stood up slowly from the couch, feeling as though he didn’t have a choice in what he was about to do.

  “Kevin! Sit down!” Jessica moved to block him off as he started for the door. Kevin shook his head at his mom, and tried to slide by her. She put her hands on his chest and pushed herself up against him, her soft tits competing against his moral compass for attention.

  “Come on sweetie, I know you want to help, but there is nothing that you can do.” His mom looked into his eyes and spoke softly, pushing her body against him in what was meant to be a hug, but ended up as an embrace. “Just stay here. The situation will be under control soon, and it’s safe here. We can curl up on the couch… and watch a movie…”

  Kevin felt torn between his mom’s suggestion and what he knew that he had to do. His cock pushed up against his shorts, responding to the tenderness of his mom’s body against his. He wanted to do exactly what she was suggesting, badly. But he also felt like he couldn’t look away from the images on the screen, the burning building, and the disaster that awaited the houses next to it.

  “Mom, I’m sorry, I don’t have a choice!” Kevin leaned in to kiss his mom on the cheek. Jessica turned her face at the last second, and Kevin felt his lips meet hers, sending an illicit electric tingle vibrating through the rest of his body.

  He pulled away slowly, and felt his mom caress his cheek. She forced a smile, and then slowly nodded.

  “Be careful, sweetie,” she said. “I’ll be waiting for you. Don’t do anything stupid.”

  Kevin nodded, and then rushed by her, out the door.

  CHAPTER 2

  Kevin raced down the street as fast as his loose sandals would allow. The news report of the incident had made everything look much more controlled. In reality, it felt like chaos was unfolding on all sides of him the closer he got.

  People were standing on either side of the road, gawking at the giant plume of smoke rising up from the Dreis Building. Others were sprinting around, much like he was, but Kevin didn’t see anyone else headed in the direction of the fire.

  His lungs began to ache and thirst for oxygen. The air had a stale, burnt taste to it, as though somebody had taken a blowtorch to the atmosphere. As Kevin closed the last stretch between him and the scene, his eyes began to hurt and tear up, and he could hear the constant, crackling growl of the flames.

  It looked and felt like something out of a bad dream. The Dreis Building was a pillar of inferno, and even just looking at it felt like it was too much stimulation for his eyes. The houses and buildings next to it were mostly untouched, though Kevin could tell at a glance that their close proximity put them at risk.

  He didn’t see the news reporting crew anywhere, but the fire engine that had rumbled by during the broadcast was parked about a hundred feet from the fire. Kevin made a beeline for it, knowing that if there was any place he could help from, it was there.

  The back of it was open. Kevin didn’t hesitate before climbing inside, and almost bumped directly into something, or rather someone, that he hadn’t been expecting.

  The same woman that he had seen driving the fire engine through the news broadcast was inside the narrow corridor of the truck. She was wearing a red helmet, a thick pair of yellow firefighting pants held up by suspenders, and almost nothing else, her big breasts pushing out against the fabric of a tiny bra as she turned to look at him.

  “What the fuck are you doing here?” yelled the woman. “Get to safety!”

  Kevin could see her face reddening as she reached for a jacket on a hook and pulled it on. She was around his mom’s age, but spoke with a crass authority that sent a chill down his spine. He looked at her and slowly stepped forward, holding his hands out.

  “I’m here to help,” he said. “Just tell me what to do…”

  The woman shook her head, the helmet swaying slightly as she did, and then pushed him out of the back of the fire truck. She hopped down after him and began unwinding a hose attached to the side of the truck.

  “Stand here and turn this on when I tell you to!” the woman barked. “Not a moment sooner!”

  “Alright,” replied Kevin. He watched as the woman moved with urgent and confident speed, pulling the hose out and maneuvering it over towards the Dreis Building.

  He wondered for a moment what a single fire hose could possible do against the hellish blaze in front of him, and had his question answered as the woman waved and gestured towards the pump. It took all his strength to turn the handle, but once he had, he watched as the woman braced herself strategically against the front of the fire engine and blasted water forward, not onto the burning building, but the ones next to it.

  “The Dreis Building… What’s going to happen?” Kevin had to yell to be heard over the sound of the fire. The woman turned back to him and shook her head.

  “It’s already lost,” she said. “The fire is too intense. Nothing like this has ever happened before in this town.”

  She turned her attention back to the hose and continued spraying down one of the buildings directly adjacent to the inferno. Kevin looked over to the other side and saw something that caused his heart to beat faster.

  The roof of the large house immediately to the right of the Dreis Building had caught flame. It was still mostly intact, but the flames were spreading fast. It was what Kevin saw through the bottom window that gave him pause.

  There was a woman banging on the glass and trying to get his attention. The door of the house was directly under where the fire had spread to, and he realized that it was probably more substantial and threatening from the inside. Kevin looked over once at the female firefighter, who was still focused on the other building, and then rushed towards the house.

&nbs
p; The window had a wooden lattice on it, making it impossible for anyone to fit through. Instead, Kevin made beeline for the door. It was closer to the heat of the flames, and he had to will his body against his own self-preservation instincts to move forward.

  The metal door knob was hot to the touch, and once he had pushed it open, he saw that there were flames slowly spreading towards the front of the house from the back of the hallway. Kevin rushed into the living room, where he’d seen the woman, and grabbed her by the hand.

  “Come on! You’re not safe here!” He pulled her roughly through the house, hearing her cough as the smoke began to spread through the air.

  The fire fighter was glaring at him as he brought the woman over to the fire engine. Kevin heard a large crack from behind him, and turned just in time to see the Dreis Building begin fall. The structure groaned and let out an almost alive sounding cry, and then collapsed in on itself, starting at the top and dropping down as each level impacted the one below it.

  “Get inside the truck!” screamed the fire fighter. They were far enough away from the building that Kevin didn’t think they had to worry about getting hit by debris, but once it had hit the ground he saw why she was concerned.

  A large cloud of dust and smoke was pushed outward in the wake of the destruction, and Kevin didn’t imagine that breathing it would be very kind to his lungs. He climbed into the back of the fire truck and the female fire fighter slammed the door.

  It was dark, and strangely calm in the safety of the vehicle. Kevin could hear the ragged breathing of the woman he had saved, and sense the hyper alertness of the fire fighter. He didn’t say anything, and felt the metal side wall with his hand before leaning against it.

  “The fire will keep burning for at least a couple more hours, but it’ll be under control now,” said the female fire fighter. “It won’t be able to get as much oxygen, or spread as easily.”

  Kevin finally felt like the questions on his mind could be asked. He coughed once into his sleeve, and then looked at the woman.
