Lexi took the books about the house and pulled a chair up next to Dean at the microfilm table.

"Wow," she said. "It's been a long time since I've seen one of these."

"No kidding. I checked what was on the computer. It only goes back to '84. We know the deaths started at least in the '40's, thanks to the librarian. So, we go back."

"Well, let me know if you find something interesting. I'll read through these books."

They spent the next few hours in almost complete silence as they read. Whenever Lexi came across a death in the book, Dean looked for it in the paper. The time went slowly and Dean was not happy.

"Stop staring at your watch," Lexi said. "It just makes it worse."

Dean looked back at the machine and blinked. "I'm getting dizzy playing with this thing."

"Get up and walk around for a minute. I'm gonna go talk to the librarian again."

Lexi smiled as she approached the desk. "Hi, again," she said. "I just wanted to thank you for pointing us to these books, and ask you if you know the authors. Are they local?"

"One of them lived here for a few years, but he moved to New York just after the book was published. The other author was a visitor here. I'm not sure where he is now."

"I was hoping to talk to them. I guess that's out."

"Looks like someone else might want to do some talking," the librarian said with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

"That man you're with... I don't mean to be nosey, but are you together?"

"We work together, yes."

"Now, that's not what I mean, and you know it."

"You mean, romantically?"

"Yes."

"Well..." Lexi didn't know what to say. Why did it matter? "No, ma'am. Why?"

"It's none of my business, really, but I tend to keep an eye on people I don't know."

"As you should," Lexi said. "Can't be too careful."

"Exactly. Well, I noticed a few times, when he thought no one was looking, the way he looked at you."

"How did he look at me?"

"Like a man in love," she whispered with a smile. "But, like I said... It's none of my business."

She winked at Lexi and smiled.

"Well, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks again," Lexi said as she held up the books.

"You're very welcome."

Dean was back at the machine when Lexi got back to the table. "I'm hungry," she said.

"Me too," Dean said. "Starving."

"Let's pick up here and grab some food. I'll go put these books back on the shelf."

"I'll get our papers together."

Dean collected their copies and printouts that were scattered over the table. Just as he was about to head over to Lexi, she emerged from the shelves and they walked out together.

"So," she said once they were in the car. "It seems you can't hide your feelings for me very well."

"What are you talking about?"

"The librarian saw you looking at me."

"So, I was looking at you. Big deal."

"Yeah, but I asked her how you were looking at me... and she said 'like a man in love.'"

"Oh, come on."

"What? You've told me that you love me."

"Yeah, but how could she know that?"

Lexi shrugged. "Something in the way you were looking at me. I don't know... But I'd like to see that look. I'm curious now."

"Let me ask you a question."

"Shoot," she said.

"Why is it that you weren't looking at me like a woman in love?"

"Dean, if I start looking at you, I can't stop, and you told me I had to be professional. So, I didn't look."

"Good answer," he said with a grin.

"I have an idea. Instead of eating at a diner, let's hit a drive thru and take it back to my room... we can stare at each other as much as we want."

"How can I say no to that?"

They had to drive a few minutes outside of the town to get to a pizza place. It took a while to get the pizza and get back.

"So much for fast," Lexi said as she sat the pizza on the table. She grabbed a few napkins, but before she could open the box, Dean's arms were wrapped around her waist from behind. He kissed her neck, and she tilted her head to give him room. "I thought you were hungry," she said.

"I am. I wanna finish what we started at the library."

"John could come back at any minute."

Dean's lips lingered on her neck a moment before pulling away. "I don't care."

"Yeah, you say that now," she said with a smile as she turned to face him.

Dean's lips crashed onto hers. His hands pulled her hips toward him, and she could feel just how much he wanted her.

"Maybe if we're quick," she whispered against his mouth.

Dean lifted her from the floor and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He pinned her against the wall, and kissed and licked her neck. His hands went to her shirt and made quick work of the buttons. Once her shirt was open, he made his way to her bed. He threw back the covers and practically fell on top of her as he lay her down. They kissed heatedly as hands roamed. Dean stood and quickly removed his clothes, and Lexi removed her own. He was barely on top of her again when he entered her with a long, hard thrust. She let out a loud moan, unable to control the effect it had on her. Her body arched off of the bed, but Dean kept going. Lexi tried to steady her breathing, but it came out in pants and gasps. Her body began to tremble. Just when she felt like she was about to pass out, Dean collapsed on top of her. When his breathing slowed a little, he held himself up on his elbows and looked down at her.

"Sorry," he said.

"For what?"

"That got a little rough. Did I hurt you?"

"Did I stop you?"

"No."

"Then I'm fine," she said. She put her hand to his face and her thumb brushed over his cheek. "That was... intense."

Dean grinned and kissed her before moving to her side. She stayed on her back as Dean lightly ran his fingers along the curves and swells of her bare body.

"I'm gonna tell him," Dean said.

"What? When?"

"Today... when he gets back."

"Dean, are you sure?"

"If a complete stranger can see my feelings for you just by the way I look at you, how long do you think we can keep it from dad?"

"I don't know."

"I'll tell him," he said.

Lexi took his hand in hers and held it close to her chest. "We'll tell him. I'll be right beside you."

"You sure? He's gonna yell."

"Like I've never heard John Winchester yell?"

Dean scoffed, then let his eyes lingers over Lexi's face. "That old lady was right about one thing."

"Oh, yeah?"

"Yeah. I do love you."

"I love you, too."

They kissed for several minutes before they got up and got dressed. Then they ate their cold pizza, and waited for John.
