option.” He stepped back, however, when she took a step forward. We
all knew that she was more likely to pour it over his head than let him drink one drop.
“Dallas, please play nice,” Harper scolded, taking the beer from her friend and handing it over to Ax.
“It’s too early for Axton to smell like draft. Maybe later.”
Natalie and Linc finished getting their own beers and joined us. Jesse was supposed to join us later, but
I wasn’t going to hold my breath that he actually made it. If I had Layla to snuggle up to back at the hotel I would have a hard time leaving too. I hated that Drake wasn’t able to join us though, but knew that between the temptation to drink and being without Lana he would have been miserable out here with us.
“What house should we go to next?” Natalie asked, taking a big gulp from her beer mug. I was still
getting used to her drinking. When she had turned twenty-one a few months ago Drake and I had both
started freaking because she was going to the clubs with Linc more and more. If she had been going out with anyone else we probably would have stepped in and done something, but we knew she was safe with
Linc. He wasn’t going to touch her like that, and we knew he would keep anyone else from sniffing around
too.
Up until she had moved to New York after the crazy stunt that my baby sister, Jenna, had pulled and my
stepmother had nearly had me arrested, neither Drake nor I had ever had any brotherly/sisterly affection for Natalie. Then she moved in with Linc and Dallas and started working for Emmie. The three of us had
gotten to know each other, and all those overprotective instincts that we still had for Em transferred over to our sister. It felt like we had always been a part of each other’s lives.
“The American Werewolf in Paris is just down that street.” Harper pointed to the right and I swallowed my groan. It wasn’t particularly scary, but there was one part of the maze that had a man with his insides
popping out from being attacked by a werewolf.
“Sounds good to me.” Linc pulled out his Front of Line Pass that would get us into the shorter line.
Without our FLPs, we would have spent hours waiting in line to walk through a house/maze that only took
less than five minutes to experience.
I wrapped my arm around Harper’s waist and we fell into step behind Linc and Natalie as we headed for
the next haunted house/maze. “Having a good time, beautiful?” I asked.
“This is perfect, Shane.” She leaned her head against my shoulder as we walked. “Thanks for doing this
for me.”
My fingers tightened on her side. “Anything for you, beautiful.” I kissed her and swallowed the rest of
my beer before tossing the plastic cup in the next trashcan.
We walked by at least a thousand people waiting in line as we headed to the front of the Front of Line
Pass line. It was dark outside and no one really paid us any attention so I wasn’t worried that someone
might recognize me or Axton. I wasn’t worried if they did recognize us. It was Harper I stressed about my
fans spotting.
The day our engagement was announced she started getting death threats. A mob of girls stood outside
of the Rock America headquarters in LA waiting for her for an entire month. When Harper wasn’t with me, she had a bodyguard that went with her everywhere. Especially to work.
Dallas and Axton walked ahead of us through American Werewolf in Paris and I couldn’t help but
laugh out loud as Dallas went up to the man in the werewolf suit when he popped his head out of a
window. She scratched the top of his head and cooed up at the scary-looking beast. “Ah, poor Jacob.
Where’s Bella, boy? Where’s Bella?”
An attendant stepped out of a dark corner. “Miss, no touching.”
Dallas sighed. “Okay. I gotta go now, Jacob.”
When she started to touch the masked man again, Axton grabbed her elbow and tugged her forward.
“Let’s go, babe.”
“Bye, Jacob!” she
