called over her shoulder.
“Oh Gods, Dallas!” Harper was laughing so hard she had tears pouring down her face. “I can’t take you
anywhere.”
Jesse found us before we made it to the third house of the night and we stopped for a bag of popcorn
and a few more beers. There were seven houses total and the night was still pretty young. All right, I’ll
admit it. I was taking my time because I knew the next house was Cabin in the Woods and I knew that there was some fucked up shit in there.
Like the clown room where one of the clowns was lying on the floor in a bloody mess of gore. Yeah, I
was going to close my eyes as we walked through that room of the house/maze.

The first time I laid eyes on her I knew I wanted her. The first time I kissed her I knew she was mine.
It fucked with my head so bad, that I knew that it was what Nik, Jesse, and even fucking Drake had felt
when they found the one . So of course I didn’t take it as seriously as I should have. And of course I fucked it up like I tend to fuck up everything that seems to make me happy.
I hadn’t really realized how much I had fucked up until the end. When she offered me that sad but
completely bitchy smile and told me it was nice knowing me, but sharing wasn’t her thing. If I had been
smart I would have told her the truth then and there. If I hadn’t still been pretending to be the badass rock star that was the face I let the world see, I would have run after her.
Instead I did neither and ended up in limbo for the last two years.
She was right in front of me now, and I was determined to spend the weekend getting her back.
“Damn, it feels good to unwind.” Dallas sighed as we all sat on a bench drinking yet another beer.
Thank all those fucking Gods that Em lived by for beer. Universal Studios was party central. Haunted
houses, freaky-as-fuck rides, and plenty of beer. When Shane had first told me this was his idea of a
bachelor party I had scoffed at the whole thing. But now I was seeing exactly how brilliant it really was.
I swallowed the last of my beer and tossed it in the trashcan beside me before turning toward the hottest
chick I had ever laid eyes on so I could do the one thing I had been aching to do since I had set eyes on her earlier that day. Touch her.
I had been walking around with a semi-hard dick all night and as soon as I touched her bare back, I
became rock hard. Being in the rock business for as long as I had, fucking a different chick every night, I could honestly admit to never reacting so strongly like that to another girl in my life.
Dallas stiffened at the first brush of my fingers. She started to turn toward me but I put just enough
pressure to elicit a moan from her as I started massaging her shoulders. Her head fell forward. “Please don’t stop,” she begged in that Texas accent that went straight to my dick, making it pulse.
Her muscles were all knotted up and I dug my fingers just a little deeper. She moaned again as I rubbed
away the tension in her neck. Her hair was pulled up into a ponytail, exposing the long gracefulness of her neck and making my mouth ache to taste her skin there.
I traced my thumb over her latest tattoo. A symbol for nurse with R on one side and N on the other. I
wanted to tell her how proud I was, how much fulfilling her dreams of becoming a nurse made me want
her even more than I once had. Now the world knew what I had known—that Dallas was brilliant as well
as breathtakingly gorgeous.
“Let’s get the next house over with,” Natalie suggested, and I wanted to tell her to fuck off. I could have gladly sat on that bench rubbing Dallas’s shoulders all night. “I hate that stupid maze.”
Shane was already pulling Harper to her feet from where she was sitting on the other side of Dallas.
When Harper turned to tug Dallas up, my girl let out a whine. “But… But… I was halfway to heaven,” she
grumbled.
“A few more minutes and you would have been
