“Oh my God. What I wouldn’t give for some cheese biscuits. I can practically taste them!”
“Well, I happen to know where you can get some. Might require you to see a certain handsome older man…”
“Oh, I would definitely visit your dad while I grab some biscuits,” I tease Sam.
“I didn’t realize you were intomucholder men, Kat. When did that happen?”
I can’t contain my laugh. “Just to be clear, I amnotinto your dad.”
“What a relief.” He chuckles. “So, tell me, do you have any plans for Halloween? A party you go to?”
“No parties. Usually, we have a few friends over, order pizza, and watch scary movies. We have a few trick-or-treaters, so we hand out candy too. What about you? Do you have any plans?
“A friend of mine throws a party every year. So, I’ll probably go to that.”
“Like a costume party? Are you dressing up, Sammy?”
“Yes, a costume party,” it comes out more like a growl, “and yes, I’ll dress up.”
“Wait. Samuel Harris in a costume? Ihaveto see this!”
“Not a chance, Kitty Kat.”
“Pleeeeaase, Sammy!”
“Begging won’t help here.”
“Ugh, you’re no fun,” I grumble. “Fine. At least tell me what you’re going to wear.”
“I’m not sure I want to tell you that.”
“What? Why not?”
“Because I know you will use it against me at a later, very inconvenient time for me.”
“I would never. I’m not that horrid! Please tell me.”
“I’m gonna regret this,” he mutters under his breath. “We’re all going as versions of Britney Spears.”
“Oh my God,” I laugh out.
“I fucking knew I shouldn’t tell you.” I can practically see him run his hand through his hair.
“So. Um. What do I have to do to know which Britney you’re going as?” I say it sweetly, knowing I am very unlikely to be told.
“Yeah. That part I’m keeping to myself.”
“There isn’tanythingI could do for this tiny little tidbit of information.”
“When you ask it like that…” His response causes heat to pool in my core.
Using my most seductive voice, “What can I do?”
“Fuck,” he groans, and I think I might have him now.
Continuing the seduction, “Please?”
He clears his throat before responding, “The things I have thought about that wicked mouth of yours doing.” His tone abruptly changes. "But I’m still not telling you. Good effort though.”
