Chapter 26

Jeff and Nicole flashed their passes at a burly security guard standing outside the horse barn and were ushered inside. Nikki’s eyes scanned the space, anxiously looking for Nate. She noticed Stacy’s sister leaning against the barn wall, clutching her ever-present notebook, and looking extremely bored. Crewmembers bustled around in front of Jet’s horse stall as they set up their equipment. Nikki finally spotted Nate and Stacy huddled together with a tall, thin, mustached man who flapped his hands around excitedly as he spoke.

“He’s the director,” Jeff explained.

Nikki nodded her head in understanding. She was fascinated by the organized chaos that surrounded her. Everyone had a specific job to do, and they scurried around like ants at a picnic. Finally, once everything appeared to be in place, someone yelled for quiet on the set. The few observers were herded together against the back wall as Nate and Stacy took their positions. Nikki had been willing Nate to make eye contact with her, and at that moment, he looked up and locked in on her. A sexy grin lit up his face, and his eyes crinkled at the edges. Nikki’s trepidation slipped away as she realized his look was meant just for her.

Stacy followed the direction of Nate’s gaze and gave Nikki a dismissive glance, which Nikki was determined to ignore. Instead, she focused her attention on Nate, and her eyes roamed over him appreciatively. He was dressed in snug, faded Levis, scuffed cowboy boots and a plaid button-down with the sleeves rolled up, showcasing his muscular forearms. She could tell that he had some face make-up on, but it did nothing to conceal his hard, masculine jaw, peppered with day-old stubble. Nate’s hazel eyes sparkled in the light, and she couldn’t help but wonder if it was because of her. Nikki smiled with self-satisfaction at the idea that Nate was “smitten” with her, but then her thoughts were interrupted by the booming call for… “ACTION!”

It was just like watching a silent movie. Nikki couldn’t hear the words that were being exchanged, but she felt the emotion in the scene through Nate’s and Stacy’s body language. They stood close together, Nate’s hand cupping Stacy’s cheek as he rubbed his thumb gently back and forth. Stacy leaned in a little closer, to the point where her breasts grazed Nate’s chest, and Nikki flinched as she realized what was about to happen. Nate bent his head down as if to go in for the kiss when someone yelled… “CUT!” Nate immediately stepped back as the director came forward.

Jeff glanced sideways at Nikki and placed a reassuring hand on her arm. “Doing ok?” he whispered.

“Fine,” she replied, although she felt a little shaky. Nikki had been so engrossed in the scene that for a moment, she forgot it was Nate she was watching. She could tell he was in professional actor mode, which reminded her of how she behaved with her real estate clients. The difference was that she had never kissed a client… that is, up until she’d met Nate.
