Childhood
Fascination Sparks Plot
By Layla
Chase
Who doesn’t
love a firefighter? From the first time I saw a red shiny fire truck roll
through our neighborhood when I was 5 or 6, I knew there was something special
about the people on that vehicle. All the shiny chrome, the dials, the gauges,
and ladders. We kids knew better than to follow the big lumbering truck with
the blaring siren any farther than the end of our block. But I remember
standing on the edge of the curb and craning my neck to see several houses down
the cross street, hoping to see them save someone. I am thankful that I’ve
never had a reason to place an emergency call to put out a fire anywhere near
me.
When I
started plotting my story now titled Hot
For The Uniform, I got the idea from a publisher’s call for an erotic story
that had fetish as a theme. I remembered how I loved those big red trucks and
then just took that fascination a couple steps further. What if a little girl
who loved fire trucks grew into an adult who fixated on men in uniform? What
would happen if the sight of guys in tight t-shirts and suspenders holding up
their turnout pants kicked up her libido?
That’s when
my heroine was born and to make her obsession even worse, I made her clumsy so
that fires just seemed to keep happening in her immediate vicinity. As I worked
on the wacky situations she’d get into, I was also thinking of the calm
firefighter who I’d pit against her. The one who’d be responsible and
sensible—good traits for a man who has to face emergency situations and make
decisions about the safest solution. Unless he’s hit with a dash of lust…
Hot For The Uniform is a novella of approximately 16,000
words and was previously published as Uniform
Desire by Amber Quill Press.
