“Fine. Do your secret Halloween stuff.”

I gave him a pointed look, which he returned with a taunting one. “MaybeI’ll come by later. But I swear to god, if anything happens, I will knock you the fuck out and you know that I can.”

“Alright, alright.” He put his hands up in surrender, but he was grinning. “Have fun getting laid at the carnival.”

Before I could decide if I was going to be the one throwing a punch today, he took off into the courtyard. Sometimes, I wondered if I hated him. It was a fine line.

Brooks laughed, then held his fist out to us. “Have fun tonight, you two.”

“What?” Sen’s eyes were wide with panic. “I’m staying in.”

“Uh huh. Don’t worry.” He made a zipping motion across his lips. With a wink, he left the building.

Since the hallway was empty, I took Sen’s hand. “It’s okay. He won’t say anything.”

“I didn’t want anybody to know.”

He tried to pull his hand away, so I tightened my grip. After a quick glance around, I backed him up to the wall.

“Being a secret is fine for now, but I’m starting to think you’re ashamed of me.”

His eyes softened. When he reached up to brush away the hair on my forehead, I leaned into his touch.

“It’s impossible to be ashamed of you,” he said. “You’re everyone’s dream.”

Taking his wrist, I turned my head and bit down on his fingers. “You’re being generous, but I’ll take it. Tell me the first man you were attracted to.”

It was clear the question made him uncomfortable. I ran my hands up to his neck, then back down his arms as I waited.

“Aragorn.”

Immediately, I put a hand over my mouth to cover my laughter. “Aragorn was pretty hot.”

“Then why are you laughing?”

“I just thought you’d say Brad Pitt or Ryan Gosling.”

“That’s cause you like blondes.”

“Yeah, well, luckily for you, that’s true.”

Pressing my chest against his, I dipped my head. He was only a couple of inches shorter than me, which made it too tempting to kiss him whenever he was close. I cupped the side of his neck, tracing his trachea with my thumb. For a second, I couldn’t help but wonder how it would feel to push my dick into his throat.

I pulled back and blew out a breath. “Let’s get ready. Traffic is gonna suck.”

“Hold on,” I said, pulling Sen to a stop.

The mask was hard to get used to, but I kind of liked the mystery. His eyes weren’t visible enough, but I could see the way his lips curved. It had happened a lot tonight. It seemed like he felt more comfortable since his identity was hidden, which was encouraging.

I tore off a piece of cotton candy and held it up. He stuck his tongue out, allowing me to set it there. Before he could do anything else, I leaned forward and sucked the sweetness off of it. His thumb curled over my waistband to tug me closer.

“Mm. You taste fucking good.”

“You’re killing me,” he groaned.

“Do you mind?”
