I shake my head, and Wes seems to realize his own mistake. But before he can say another word, there is a sharp knock on the door of our hut.
“Hello, people!” my father’s voice rings out from outside the door. “Whoever’s in there, it’s time to come out! We’re all going to participate in the spooky game of hide and seek. Ready or not...here we come!”
Once again, my father has managed to ruin everything. I sigh to myself, finishing off my drink with one last swig. Wes tries to catch my eye, but I look away. I feel used. I need to give up on this dumb fantasy.
As much as I want him, Wes isn’t the man for me.
Chapter Eight
Wes
I’ve really screwed this up now. One moment, I was inches away from kissing the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen. Then, due to my own stupidity, I ended up ruining it. Why did I have to bring up the business? Why did I have to remind her of who I am, and what her father means to us both?
Now, Zooey clearly doesn’t want to talk to me. I sigh to myself as we head to the start line for the game of hide and seek. There’s no way I’m coming back from this now. It was stupid of me. I just had in the back of my head the disapproval of her father, and how he had asked me to push her toward the business. I guess the guilt I was feeling for hitting on his daughter overcame me. But now, she doesn’t even want to look at me.
I’m suddenly furious at Lawrence. If he wasn’t in the picture, I would be fucking Zooey in that cabin right now. If he didn’t exist, then we could be together without any disturbance. I curl my hands into fists, feeling frustrated. If only I could knock him into next week and take what’s mine. If only I’d kept my stupid mouth shut.
If only.
“Partner up!” Lawrence is shouting to people as they gather around. “Everyone will be hiding in pairs. Let’s get this game started!”
I glance at Zooey. She is looking pretty solemn, which might have been funny at any other time considering she’s dressed as a Corpse Bride. But I want to see her smile again. I want to make my girl feel good, not make her miserable. I long to grab her and kiss her and show her that she has nothing to worry about. I’m all for her. If only there weren’t so many bloody obstacles.
But this could be my last chance. If I can get her alone for this game, then maybe I can explain myself. Maybe this time, I can take one final risk and finally kiss her. There’s so much to lose if I do, but so much to gain. I’d risk everything for one opportunity to bed her. I’d give up everything to feel the warmth of her pussy around my cock. I’d kill to cum inside her and show her that she’s mine and no one else's. Her father doesn’t have the same kind of claim on her. He might have her as a daughter, but I’m holding her heart in my hands.
“Let’s partner up,” I tell her quietly. She scowls at me defiantly, but as she scans the crowd for her friend, she sees that she is already occupied with someone else. She sighs and nods at me, refusing to meet my eyes. But my heart jolts with excitement all the same. I’ve got one final chance and I’m certainly not going to fuck this up.
“Alright people, here are the rules of our special Halloween game of hide and seek!” Lawrence shouts, his face animated with excitement. I want to roll my eyes. This whole situation is ridiculous, but I shouldn’t be complaining. At least I’m going to get a chance to be alone with Zooey again in the dark. The thought has my cock standing at attention. I just hope no one can see my cock straining against my pants.
“The rules are simple. Find a place to hide in the next five minutes. You can’t move from your hiding place after the five minutes are up. And then, our team of hunters will come and find you. However, if you go down to the woods today...you might be in for a big surprise! We have some trained actors hidden out in the grounds, ready to terrify you all! Otherwise, where is the Halloween spirit, hmm?”
I’m getting impatient now. I want to grab Zooey’s hand and whisk her off into the woods. I hope that wherever we hide might be private enough that we can get a little frisky. But before that, I guess I’ve got to get her to forgive me. She shuffles a little closer to me to show we’re in a partnership, but her arms are folded. She doesn’t look as though she is in a very forgiving mood.
