“I’m the zombie lumberjack,” he said. “Come back from the dead to hunt all se—pretty princesses.”
“She is so pretty, Daddy. Why couldn’t you dress as a prince?” Paige asked.
“Because a princess always needs a real man in her life.” He winked at her, and it made Maddie’s stomach tighten.
“Come on, let’s get this show on the road,” he said.
They all climbed into his truck and headed toward town.
It was the first time that they’d made it a full Halloween event. Every single shop in town had decorations, and there were stalls for candy. She saw kids walking around in packs, going trick-or-treating. The town party was already in full swing.
Once they’d parked, she held onto Paige’s hand as they walked toward Mike and his gang.
After they made a plan for trick-or-treating, Paige stayed by her side. Caleb didn’t leave her either, and she was very much aware of him at her back, looking every bit the sexy lumberjack.
“Do you do Halloween often?” she asked.
Paige pulled out of her hand, and she watched how she bobbed for apples with her cousins. She didn’t let the little girl out of her sight.
“Not much. We carve a pumpkin, and we have some candy while watching some television normally,” he said. “She’s always wanted to go trick-or-treating. I’ve just never had the time.”
Paige had begged her to get Caleb to agree to go to the town party. Halloween had fallen on a Friday, and with school out for the weekend, it had been a lot of fun. Maddie hadn’t even needed to ask Caleb.
When she got home, he already had their costumes. Of course, he had to replace Paige’s because she wanted to go as a princess rather than a cowgirl. Every year she’d wanted to go as a cowgirl, only this time she’d wanted to go as something different.
“I love my dress,” Maddie said, running a hand over the fabric.
His hand moved to her waist, and he pulled her back against him. “I can’t wait to take it off you.” His fingers stroked over her hip, and for a few seconds, she closed her eyes, basking in his touch.
She’d become addicted to his touch, and her nipples tightened, the hard buds pressing against the padding of her dress.
“I’m not going to lie, I wanted to get you this really sexy maid’s outfit that showed everything off. It would barely cover your tits, and bending down would show off your ass.” He quickly pressed a kiss to her neck.
She didn’t care that they were in town. She was under his thrall as he spoke. “What stopped you?”
“I bought it, but I decided I wanted to be the one to see you in it, and only me. No other man is ever going to know how sexy you are when you come, or how tight your cunt gets wrapped around my cock.” His hand squeezed her hip. “They’re not going to know how you love to be fucked, or how dirty you like to get.”
Heat flooded her pussy, and she bit down on her lip. Just a few words and she was putty in his hands.
Paige grabbed an apple, and Caleb pulled away just a little. “I got one. I got one. I got one.” She held up an apple.
Pushing all of her erotic thoughts from her mind, she smiled at Paige. “Eat it then.” She hugged Paige close just before she ran off again. For the next hour, with Caleb by her side, Maddie was very much aware of the heat of him at her back. She didn’t want to linger, but she also didn’t want to run off and spoil Paige’s night.
She’d been looking forward to it so much.
Paige had an entire full bag of candy, and they made their way back toward the center of town to enjoy the small disco that was taking place. Martha and Mike had taken Paige to start the disco while she and Caleb put the candy in the truck for later. Maddie and Caleb came to a stop as Emily and Chad stood in front of them.
“Well, well, well, if it’s not my little sister,” Emily said.
“Hello, Maddie,” Chad said.
She looked toward Chad, and saw her ex smile at her. He also looked pained as he spoke to her.
Turning her attention back to Emily, she smiled. “Happy Halloween,” she said.
Caleb stepped up close to her back, and knowing he was there filled her with comfort. It was only then that Maddie realized that she wasn’t comfortable being with Emily. Her big sister had always found some way in which to hurt her.
Emily was dressed as a maid, and with her slender body, she looked good, which only made Maddie’s arousal at Caleb’s suggestions earlier evaporate. There was no way she’d ever look good in something like that.
