Chapter Four

Although unlocking Rafe’s secret was never far from her mind, with Halloween and the first all night session fast approaching, Kelsey didn’t have much time to think about silver pen sets or daytime activities.

Despite what Tracy had said, Kelsey still wanted to prove, maybe more so to herself than anyone else, that she was the right person for the job. So she made sure everything was perfect. She double-checked lists, supplies, personnel, and made sure every t was crossed and every i dotted.

And she tried to ignore, the best she could, the sizzling tension in the room every time she and Rafe were together. Especially when they were alone. Which, with final details to go over on a regular basis, happened quite often.

Two days before the all-night opening, she found a note on her desk in his bold scrawl. He wanted to see her as soon as he got in that evening. Sunset was around five-thirty these days, so that meant he’d be in around six.

She traced the inked words with the tip of her finger. Would a silver pen really burn him? She cringed. She didn’t want to cause him pain.

“Kelsey.”

She jumped when Ryan spoke.

“Sorry,” he said. “I didn’t mean to startle you. I thought you saw me walk up.”

She shook her head to clear it. “No, I guess I was spacing out.”

He handed her a file. “Here’s the budget analysis. It looks like we’re in good shape for opening night.”

“Excellent. Thanks.”

He turned away, then stopped and faced her again. “Oh, and hey, I wanted to let you know, I think you did a great job putting everything together for the new night time programs. I think it’s going to be a great success.”

For a moment, surprise rendered her mute. “Thank you,” she managed when she found her voice.

He nodded. “See you tomorrow.”

****

“Hi.”

Rafe looked up as Kelsey poked her head into his office.

“You wanted to see me?”

Oh he wanted to see her all right. Naked. Writhing beneath him. “Yes. I just want to double check and make sure everything is finalized for Thursday night.”

“We’re all set.”

“Can you give me the rundown one more time?” No need to tell her he’d already memorized the schedule. He’d take any excuse he could to spend more time with her.

A small frown puckered her forehead, but she nodded. “Sure. I actually have the final enrollment totals right here.” She tapped the folder in her hand.

“Great. Have a seat.” He motioned to the chairs in front of the desk. Once she was seated, he came around and took the other chair.

A subtle flush of color bloomed in her cheeks. Her hands trembled as she spread the papers on the desk. She cleared her throat. “So, we have twenty-seven with the proper intestinal fortitude signed up for the horror movie marathon.” She shuddered.

“Scary monsters not your thing, huh?”

She tilted her head to look at him, a peculiar expression on her face. “Monsters are fine. It’s the slasher films I don’t have the stomach for.”

“Ah, so no blood and guts?”

“Exactly.
