  CHAPTER 5

  THE FOLLOWING work day at the fire station, Daniel was on edge. Every time a cell phone rang or the station phone clanged overhead, he jumped.

  “What’s wrong with you, man?” Chance Grayson asked after Daniel nearly knocked him over when he’d spun to answer his cell phone.

  “Nothing.” Daniel shoved a hand through his hair and tried to calm himself. The shift was nearly over, and Lola hadn’t called in an emergency. He’d made it through the day without having to face the challenge. He let go of a sigh. “I’m fine. I just didn’t sleep well last night.”

  “Oh, yeah? Why? Did you have a big date?”

  Daniel’s head snapped up, and he stared at Chance with narrowed eyes. “Why do you ask?”

  Grayson held up his hands. “Just a guess. You’re really punchy, like you need to get laid or something.” He flashed him a smile. “Well, I’m calling it a day. I have dinner at the ranch tonight with my brothers. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

  The intercom crackled. “We have a woman who needs assistance with a barbeque fire at the following address. Should only need a fire extinguisher to put it out.” Erma in dispatch listed the address.

  Chance shook his head. “That’s the Engel woman’s address, isn’t it?”

  Daniel’s heart tripped several beats, and then raced ahead. “No reason for you to miss dinner with your family. I’ve got this.”

  Frowning, Chance held up his hand. “No, no. You took it last time. I’ll handle it this time.”

  “No, really. I’ve got this.” Daniel grabbed a fire extinguisher from the storage unit. “I know just what to do.”

  Chance walked with him out to his truck. “If you’re sure…”

  “Positive.” Fighting back a grin, he slipped into the driver’s seat, adjusted his jeans to a more comfortable position over his growing erection and shifted into drive.

  He knew just what the woman needed. And he was the man to give it to her.

  THE END?

  NO WAY! Stay tuned as things heat up between Lola and Daniel in PLAYING WITH FIRE, the next book in the Hellfire Series.
