Music played, while goblins danced with princesses and vampires flirted with fairies. Tempest looked around at her guests, a huge smile plastered on her face. Children bobbed for apples or jumped in the inflatable pumpkin bouncy house or found treats in the scavenger hunt stations she set up. There was punch and food galore and everyone in costume milled around either inside or outside where strings of lights and paper lanterns were hung.She looked around for her men who she actually convinced to get dressed up for the evening. She found Alex dressed as Wolverine and he winked at her. Dominic was standing close by with his eyes on her. He was dressed as his own version of the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. His costume consisted of one of his tuxedos that he destroyed by ripping the arms out of the jacket. He wore it with an all black T-shirt and ruffled his hair. That was the extent of the entire costume. He looked devilishly handsome and she loved him all the more for trying.Unintentionally, her eyes met Vernon’s.
