I have to admit, I had wondered whether I was tempting fate by hosting a party on Halloween. Sure, the last Halloween had been mostly harmless and Tony and Pepper's party had gone off without a hitch. But I'd been on the island far too long to trust in its benevolence ( Read more... )

Suddenly she was aware of just how near naked she was, of how close they were standing, of the minute signs of tension in his face that she only recognized from years of observation and dancing away from his true temper.
