I took one and stuck it in my mouth. "This is so freaking good! Best Halloween ever!"

After we ateand the kids helped clean up, Garrett pulled me aside.

"That table you wanted is upstairs. Come look at it before I bring it down."

"What table?" I whispered as Garrett pulled me into what was probably a servants’ stairway. He tugged me upstairs, and we went into a small study.

"That was really unsmooth. Everyone could see that coming from a mile away," I said as he caressed my face.

Garrett was looking at me as if I were the king-sized Butterfinger candy bar in his trick-or-treat haul.

"If you were a jack-o’-lantern, I'd totally light your candle," I whispered to him. "It's a joke. You should laugh!"

He ignored me in favor of nuzzling my neck, kissing me right at the collar of my sweater. He kissed up to my jaw then to my mouth. I moaned softly as his hands made slow circles on my hips and up my waist to cup my tits through my sweater.

Garrett released my mouth to kiss down to my collarbone. I wanted nothing more than to feel his mouth on my rock-hard nipples.

"You know, I'm wearing a Halloween-themed bra," I whispered to him.

"You know, I might actually like Halloween if I see you wearing that," he whispered back then kissed me.

His hands were moving up under the sweater when we were interrupted by the sound of racing footsteps. Garrett leaned his forehead against mine.

"Penny! Penny! There's a disaster!" Billy and Oscar yelled, careening into the study.

"A disaster? How bad can it be?" I said as I followed them downstairs and outside.

We were greeted by furious squawking. Several of Garrett's brothers were chasing plump brown chickens around the terrace.

"What are those?" Garrett said, eyes narrow.

"First part of the petting zoo," Ernest said, dumping out another crate of chickens. "Chickens are delicate creatures. They need to get used to the area. I also brought some of their bamboo."

"What, why?" Garrett said.

"It makes them feel homey."

One squawking chicken slammed into Garrett's feet, followed by Davy.

"They can't just be loose on the property," Garrett said, picking up his little brother.

"Maybe we can keep them in the tiny house," I said.

"Ithink this looks great!" Penny exclaimed. It was the afternoon of the party. Penny, the twins, Hazel, and my brothers had spent the last two days decorating. Now the main downstairs rooms and the backyard looked like a Halloween paradise.

"We still need to find you a Halloween costume," Penny said.

She was dressed in a sexy little orange skirt and crop top. Her ankle boots had pumpkin pom-poms on them. I admired how her legs looked in the fishnet tights. They had a subtle pattern of bats on them.

"What are you?"

She struck a pose. "Pumpkin-spice latte!"
