F.A.S.T. — Firefighter Assist and
Search Team
Firefighter and surfing champion, Jerry Wallender, looks like a hero to the world, but he can’t see it. He keeps falling for these intellectual guys who end up making him feel dumb and unneeded. On top of that, Mick Cassidy, super-gorgeous firefighter and total homophobe, makes Jerry’s life miserable with his slurs. Then one day Mick’s nice to Jerry and, at the Firefighter’s Ball, Jerry offers a helping hand and ends up with a hand-job. What the hell is going on?
Mick Cassidy is great with fighting fires and solving math problems but rotten with people. Raised by a gay-hating preacher, Mick’s carefully constructed world of gay bashing starts to crumble when he meets Jerry, the nicest, kindest man he’s ever known. Mick’s never wanted a woman and can’t stop thinking about sex with Jerry. In fact, he can’t stop doing it. Does that make him gay? And if he’s gay, what happens to his whole life? A hook-up between sweet Jerry and mean Mick might be total disaster — or the smartest idea Jerry ever had.

Excerpt:
F.A.S.T. Balls by Tara Lain; The Gay Fireman and the Homophobe
The band got into the spirit and segued
from the cha cha into a meringue. Jerry didn’t know this one as well but he
mimicked Andres and pretty soon had the rhythm. Some people were standing
around watching them while others joined in and danced. Andres was so gorgeous
and so great at dancing. He even spun a couple of the women around as he danced
by them and they squealed. What a charmer.
The musicians worked up to a big finish.
Andres pulled Jerry in close then spun him out in a twirl. He circled twice,
laughed, and…stopped dead.
Holy crap. Standing on the edge of the
dance floor staring at the dancers with big green eyes was the yummiest thing
he’d ever seen. Mick Cassidy, tall, straight and strong in a dress blue
uniform, the light from the ballroom chandeliers shining off his pale gold
hair.
Jerry stared.
Mick stared.
Jerry glanced at the girl standing next
to Mick. Really pretty in a blue dress. But nothing, underline nothing, he had
seen in a long time was as pretty as that big, hunky homophobe. Mick might be
mean as piss, as Hunter said, but he stood there proving that sometimes things
that were bad for you are the ones you want most.
A hand on his shoulder woke him up. “You
okay, Jerry?”
“Oh, sorry.” He turned and smiled at
Andres, but man, it was hard tearing his eyes away. “I just saw someone I
know.”
He headed back to the table and Andres
stepped up beside him. “Was the person you know that golden dreamboat in blue
by any chance?”
He wasn’t going to pretend he didn’t
know who Andres meant. “Yeah, that’s the guy I was telling Rod and Hunter
about. The one who was nice to me.”
“Oh guapo, he can be nice to me
anytime.”
Jerry laughed. “Yeah. Too bad he’s a
raging fag hater.”
“So why was he nice?”
“I still haven’t figured that out.”
* * *
He’d been turned to stone. Hell, he had
to move. This was stupid. Mick watched Jerry’s retreating back moving off the
dance floor and saw him guiding a beautiful Mexican with him. Who the hell was
that? Jerry had said his boyfriend had left him. He’d sure moved on fast.
“You know that guy?”
He glanced at Jezebel. Oh right, she was
with him. “Yes, he works on my shift a lot of the time.”
“Sure is a good dancer. He a fag? Must
be, if he’s dancing with a guy, right.”
Whoa. He used that word all the time but
it sounded bad when she said it about Jerry. “Yeah, he’s gay.”
“Must be like your father says. You see
a lot of gay guys in Laguna.”
“Yes.” It felt weird to have his
father’s ideas dragged into his work life.
She looked out at the dancers. “I always
figured what your father says is a load of crap. Gay people are born that way
so it has to be God’s will and if it’s not then God’s a load of crap.”
Mick gasped and looked
at her. Really looked. “I don’t believe you just said that.”
