For the Love of a Wolf — Charlie Richards

Stake Dolan has worked as a firefighter for almost a decade. He knows he's loud, brash, and occasionally abrasive, not that he tries to be. Sometimes, he just blurts stuff out without thinking. His thoughtless words get him in trouble, and the chief orders him to help with the clean-up of some of the local hiking trailheads. At one of them, Dolan meets Cecil Rochette. The friendly man makes a pass at him, but Dolan quickly shuts him down. A few of his fellow firefighters are gay, but he is not. Still, while he doesn't know why, there's something about the guy that arouses him. When Cecil keeps popping up in his path, interrupting his life, he begins to wonder what it'd be like to give in to the mischievous man's advances. Will doing something so different be worth the price, especially when no one has been able to tolerate his mouth for long?
