Trouble After Dark Page 29


  “Let’s roll,” Mallory called to the firefighter driving the ambulance.

  They took off with lights flashing and sirens screaming.

  Jordan was in good hands with Mallory and David, so Mason turned his attention to the smoldering remains of Mrs. Hopper’s chimney. Jordan’s sister, Nikki, and her fiancé, Riley McCarthy, had done a ton of work to the house over the winter. Hopefully, there wouldn’t be too much damage from the fire that’d been contained mostly to the chimney.

  He tried to shake off the jitters that followed the rush of running into a burning building and bringing someone out alive. The amped feeling stayed with him as he supervised his firefighters, inspected the damage and tried to pinpoint the source of the fire as his mind raced, trying to process a strange occurrence.

  When he’d put his mouth on hers to blow air into her lungs… The craziest thing had happened. She’d moaned and moved her lips as if to kiss him. That’d certainly never happened before, and it was for damned sure that he’d never felt a current of electricity zip through his body while administering mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to anyone else.

  What the hell was that about?
