Chapter 20

Rachael lounged elegantly on a chair in Kait’s office. “It’s been almost a week since your secret confab at the Fire and Ice do. Have you put your moves on Mac yet?”

Kait pushed away the marketing plan she was reading and stared across her desk at Rachael, wishing the other woman would quietly evaporate. “First of all, it wasn’t a secret confab. As I told you at the time, we simply stepped outside to talk about his performance. Secondly, I didn’t see him all weekend, and he wasn’t here yesterday. When exactly was I supposed to put my moves on him?”

“He’s here today, I saw him leave your office earlier.” Rachael leaned forward. “Whatever you said didn’t make him happy. He looked all cheerful and yummy when he arrived, but he left a sexy thundercloud. Still yummy, but the dangerous kind of yummy.”

“I don’t have time for this conversation, Rach, and anyway, it’s none of your business if I put moves on him—which I wouldn’t because he works for me.” She almost forgot to add the last piece, she was getting used to the idea she no longer had that particular restriction.

She frowned. Instead, she was faced with knowing he didn’t want her, not really. A pity kiss.

Her heart had filled with light when his lips touched hers, banishing her fear. Then he’d told her he hated to see women cry. Her throat tightened at the memory. The magic she’d felt, was for him nothing more than a pity kiss.

“Phooey to that. Make your moves and see what happens.” Rachael brushed off her concerns.

Except Kait had made her move. She’d kissed him back for all she was worth, and she’d been rejected. She wasn’t trying that again. She pushed aside her pain and focused on trying to get rid of Rachael.

“I thought you said he was gay. Anyway, why do you care if I make moves? Are you looking forward to seeing me fail?” She hadn’t meant to add that last question, but she’d been feeling particularly insecure around Rachael lately. If he’d kissed Rachael, she doubted he’d have walked away.

“Fail, oh no, Kait, I don’t want to see you fail. I want to see you happy. If I bug you endlessly it’s because I want to energize you into taking action. As for the gay idea, I’m not sure about that anymore.”

The funny thing was Kait actually believed her. Rachael probably did want her to be happy. “Thanks, Rach, but maybe you could let me do things my own way.”

“No way, I’ve tried that and you are so desperately single it’s scary. I’ve decided Mac is perfect for you. Originally, I was going to try nabbing him myself because he’s delicious, but I’ve changed my mind. You’ve been crushing on him so long, you’ve got to get it out your system.”

“High school was a long time ago. I’ve changed, he’s changed…it doesn’t matter anymore.”

“If I thought it was only school I’d say, you’re right, put it behind you, move on.
