“You should come to our Halloween party then.” Shane looked at Dante and smiled. “I’d love to spend Halloween with a couple of sexy cheerleaders.”
Are they asking us to go to a party, or are they asking us out on a date?
“Would you now? How many people are coming to this party?” Jackie tilted her head suspiciously.
“I’ll be there. Dante will be there.” Shane extended his hand and gave Dante a light tap on his chest.
“I think I’ll pass.” Jackie shook her head. “It was nice to meet you, though. Come on, Brianna, we need to figure out what we’re going to wear for Halloween.”
What? Why did she lose interest so fast?
“Okay.” I looked up at Dante as Jackie walked towards one of the aisles we hadn’t checked out yet.
“If she doesn’t want to come, that doesn’t mean you can’t spend Halloween with us.” Dante’s eyes flickered and I found myself trapped in his mesmerizing stare again.
“Oh, we—um, usually spend Halloween together.” I swallowed hard and tried to will my feet to move as my body tingled.
“If you change your mind, we’re staying at Overlook Mansion.” Dante tilted his head to the side. “I’m sure you know where that is.”
“Yeah.” I twisted my lip in confusion. “That place has been on the market for years.”
“Not anymore.” Shane smirked. “You’re looking at the new owners.”
“I can’t way to see how good you look in that sexy cheerleader costume—or you can come as a slave, your choice.” Dante chuckled under his breath.
“I definitely won’t be going as a slave for Halloween.” I shook my head and exhaled sharply.
“Then a sexy cheerleader it is.” Dante nodded in understanding. “I’ll see you Halloween night.”
“I already told you—I have plans.” I shrugged and turned towards the aisle Jackie went down.
“If those plans change, you know where to find us.” Shane motioned to Dante. “All right, let’s go look at the decorations we came here to get.”
I took a step towards the costume aisle and I felt something wet between my legs. Two incredibly attractive guys asking me to spend Halloween with them made me more than a little excited—even if I was a virgin. I wasn’t used to that kind of attention, especially from two guys as hot as Shane and Dante. Jackie seemed more subdued about her Halloween costume choices once we started browsing again, and we picked out a couple of fairy costumes that were appropriate to wear while handing out candy at the church. Once we paid and started walking towards the door, I saw Dante staring at me again from across the costume shop. I gave him a slight smile before leaving the store.
“Okay, we dodged a bullet there. Shane seemed like a nice guy, but the other one—not my cup of tea.” Jackie looked over at me as we walked towards my car.
“I don’t know.” I shrugged and dug my keys out of my purse. “I thought Dante was pretty damn hot.”
“No way.” Jackie shook her head quickly. “Besides, they were just looking for sex. A party on Halloween—one that I’m pretty sure he made up on the spot.”
“You’re probably right.” I nodded aimlessly. “You did say you wanted to go to a party this year, though.”
“Yeah, but not one that could end with me getting roofied.” Jackie rolled her eyes and shook her head.
“I don’t think they would do that, come on.” I scoffed and sighed. “Maybe they actually liked us.”
“They’ve only got one thing on their mind for that party—trust me.” Jackie opened the passenger side door and sat down.
Yeah—and I don’t know why the thought of it turns me on so much.

“You gotta stop it with that dark and brooding shit, man. You scared them off.” I looked at Dante and shook my head in disappointment.
“I don’t think I scared both of them off.” Dante chuckled under his breath. “Brianna would have been on her knees in an instant if I snapped my fingers.”
