“You know, I was thinking the same thing.” I smile.

“How… What… How did you-” the man stammers, finally coming out of his stupor.

“My man’s got game,” I smile up at Bas.

“Hell yeah, I do.”

The man behind the booth shakes himself then reaches up for the giant tiger, handing it to Bas with a look of pure awe.

Bas passes me the tiger with a smirk and I hug it to my chest.

“Okay, you two are sickeningly cute,” Dallas grumbles, breaking our moment and making everyone laugh.

“Don’t be jealous. I’m sure you’ll find mates of your own soon. Who knows maybe it’s that hot guy over there,” I nod my head toward a guy standing at one of the game booths. He’s about the same height as the twins and looks a lot like Bas, only a little broader.

“Excuse me. What hot guy?” Lucas demands.

“Easy, wolf boy. I only have eyes for you four. Trust me that’s more than enough eye candy for my sweet tooth… eye? Whatever, you know what I mean.”

“Besides, tall, dark and broad over there is much more Dallas’s type than mine.”

“Is that so?” He arches a brow at me.

“Mmhmm.” I nod innocently.

Bas brushes up against my back and wraps his arms around me. “So you don’t like sporty guys with dark hair or a solid golden retriever vibe?”

“Nope!” I squeak.

“Liar,” he growls in my ear before nipping at my earlobe.

I jump and smack his arm. “Come on, I want a funnel cake!” I redirect.

“Nice change of subject,” Dallas mutters with a laugh.

“Listen up ladies, I’ve got some important knowledge to pass on. There are two sure fire ways to distract a man. Only one of those options is currently available.” I wink as I pull Bas to the nearest food truck, not even looking at what they sell. Every food truck sells funnel cake, right?

“I hate to break it to you, Firefly, but if you want funnel cake, we’re gonna have to find a different place,” Bas says. “This one only sells grilled cheese.”

I come up short, looking at the truck now in front of me.

No funnel cake?

But… grilled cheese…

“Grilled cheese, you say? I’m sure we could get funnel cake later…”

“Ooooh, gourmet grilled cheese?” Aubree groans. “Yes, please!”

“Anyone else want one?” I ask the group.

“I think I’ll go across the way to the burger place,” Liam says.

“I love that there’s a variety of things. I thought every truck would sell the same food, but that sure would be boring.”

“And I love watching you experience new things,” Bas murmurs with a soft grin. “The way your eyes light up when you’re surprised by something makes me fall in love with you even more.”

“Gross,” Dallas fake gags. “Will you two knock it off with the mushy gushy sweetness already?”
