Because of the scattered arrival times of the guests, Billy Jean had elected to create a picnic type dinner that night. She would keep it up and fresh until eight that night. Most of the guests were scheduled to arrive between three and seven, but there were a couple who wouldn’t arrive until after seven.

She’d listened to those who’d already arrived as they ate and was relieved to hear that they enjoyed the simple meal. She’d taken a chance that they would be tired and in a hurry to relax in their rooms their first night. She’d also had the staff leave a small plate of homemade cookies in each of the occupied cabins for snacks in case they wanted something later.

As the last two arrivals fixed their plates and chose a seat, Billy turned back to the kitchen to begin the initial preparations for breakfast the next morning. Once they had finished eating, she would clear out the dishes and put away the leftovers.

“How are you doing, sweet thing?”

Billy jerked her head up to find Laramie lounging in the doorway with a wide grin on his face. He looked entirely too pleased with himself.

“I’m fine, thank you. The last two guests are finishing up right now. Breakfast is set up for in the morning and as soon as they leave for their cabins I’ll finish cleaning up and head to bed.”

She watched as he stood up straight and slowly crossed the room to stand in front of her. He smiled down at her as if he had a secret. It wasn’t a look that bode well for her. He had something up his sleeve besides those massive arms. She realized too late that she should have moved away. Now she was stuck with her back to the counter and nowhere to go.

“Laredo and I want to talk to you before you call it a night. Meet us in his office as soon as you finish up here.” The smile he gave her set her heart to racing.

“I–I don’t understand. What do you need to talk to me about?” she asked, her mind racing over the meal and what could have gone wrong.

Laramie stepped closer, invading her personal space but not yet touching her. He smiled softly, his amazing eyes sparkling in the bright lights of the kitchen.

“The dinner tonight was wonderful. Everyone was talking about how good the meal was,” Laramie told her, alleviating her worries about the food but not about what they wanted with her. “We want to talk about us, sweetness—our relationship.”

“B–but we don’t have a relationship. I mean other than your being my bosses.” Unease settled in the pit of her stomach.

“Yes,” he said, brushing the back of his hand down her cheek. “We do. That’s what we need to talk about. We’ll be waiting for you in the office.”

Billy all but collapsed onto a stool the second Laramie walked out of the kitchen. What was she going to do? She couldn’t get involved with them no matter how much she wanted to.
