Kacey Shea's Reviews > Caught in the Chase

“So, you still want to be here all summer?” she says, stopping at the receptionist desk to grab something from behind the counter. Does she really think I’d so easily quit? That I’m scared of a little hard work?
“Tell me what to do.” 
“You’re up for anything?” She shoves a shirt and badge at my chest.
Anything. “Hell, yeah.” I don’t think her idea is the same as mine. Disappointing. I pull the center’s volunteer shirt on over my plain white tee and meet her gaze. “Hit me with your best.” I tip my chin in a silent challenge I can’t help. At her wide grin, it’s probably one I’ll regret. 
“Oh, Chase. I’m going to have so much fun with you.” By her delight it sounds as if it’ll be anything but enjoyable.
“Hey, Charlie!” she calls over my shoulder. “I need you to make our new volunteer regret the day he was born.”
Charlie glances from me to Alicia and laughs uncomfortably. “Uh, okay.”
“He wants all the manual labor,” she clarifies and shoots me a grin. “That right?”
Like I’ll back down. “Whatever you need. Whatever you want.” Preferably naked, with my hands on her body.
“Cool,” Charlie says. “There’s a drainage issue with one of the women’s shower stalls. Once I get that fixed, I’ll get him started on sanding down the fencing around the center. It needs a refinish.”
“Chase is happy to glove up and help you with the shower drains,” she says sweetly. “Aren’t you?”
My jaw ticks. “Sure.” 
“Good.” She grins, as if she’s won this round. “I’ll leave you to it!” She turns on her heel and marches off before I can get in another word.
“Dude." Charlie chuckles. "What did you do to piss her off?”
