Becky had never had any problems with making friends wherever she went. She guessed that’s why it didn’t bother her that she was exploring America by herself.
Before she met up with the guys tonight, Becky was going to spend the day finding all her favorite characters and getting her photo taken with every princess, Minnie Mouse, and doing any girly activity she could think of.
First thing she had booked for early this morning was a hair and make-up appointment at a spa close by so she looked awesome when she got her photos done with as many characters she could find. Becky then strolled through the park all glammed up and ready to stalk her favorite characters.
Belle, was her favorite, then Cinderella, they were the two she wanted a photo with the most. Sightseeing through the Magic Kingdom, she found Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Sleeping Beauty, Jasmine, Snow White and Ariel, but not her two favorites.
Becky then checked her app for Belle’s next appearance, and was walking toward the designated spot when arms came around her waist and pulled her against a hard, tall body. “Hey, girl, don’t you look gorgeous today? Did someone Google us and find out Jacob, Caleb, and I are famous? Did you get all done up to look your best for us? Did you find out how well we do and what we make a year and decide you want to strut yourself before us to see if we’ll give you some more attention?” He nuzzled her neck and Becky shivered as his whiskers tickled. “Maybe you think you have a chance to snag one of us?”
Becky stood rigid against Damon. She knew his voice—it was the only voice that had ever sent tingles of desire through her. Becky didn’t care how her body reacted to the arse behind her because he was a dickhead and she didn’t want to be with someone like him. She didn’t even want to desire someone like him.
Becky took a calming breath and glanced over at the picture spot and saw Belle walking away. Angry that Damon was going to have her miss Belle, she elbowed him and pushed out of his hold and turned, glaring at him. “No, I didn’t Google you. I don’t care who the hell you are. You’re no one important to me. Jacob was the one who asked me to accompany you yesterday, and he was the one who asked me for my phone number. So don’t start with saying I’m trying to snag one of you because I’m not the one to initiate anything. If you’ve made me miss getting my picture taken with my favorite princess Belle, I swear I will strangle you famous or not.”
Becky didn’t even look around to see if Damon was alone or Jacob and Caleb were with him, she turned and ran over to Belle. She caught up with Belle, huffing and puffing, but glad she hadn’t lost her.
“Princess Belle, you’re a hard one to find. I hope I haven’t missed my opportunity to have a photo with you? I have come all the way from Australia.”
Belle smiled and her Disney assistant went to talk but Belle spoke before him. “Of course not. I’d love to have a photo with you.”
“Thanks, you’re my favorite princess. I have a thing for women who love massive libraries and fall in love with beasts and turn them good.”
“You are in luck. My Beast has come to join us.”
Becky almost jumped up and down with her excitement—she was having a photo with Beauty and the Beast. She handed her camera to Belle’s escort and stood beside her favorite characters.
As she looked at the camera Becky saw Damon with his phone taking a photo of her. Becky had a photo with just the Beast and then a couple with Belle.
“Would your boyfriend or husband like to get in the photo?” Belle’s escort asked her.
“Oh… he’s not… I’m not ma—”
“We’d love that, thanks,” Damon said as he gathered her into his hold. They stood between Beauty and the Beast. Damon wrapped his arms around her waist and gathered her close to him. Damon leaned down and she held her breath as he brushed his lips across her cheek. “You’re so gorgeous. That smile of yours is going to get me in trouble.” His whispered words had her quivering and forgetting he was an arse.
The camera flashed and Becky gazed up into Damon’s dark green eyes. “You’re confusing.” Becky didn’t know what to expect. One minute Damon was ignoring her, the next he was accusing her of trying to entice him and his friends, and now he was holding her against his hard body. Becky wondered where his friends where, but she wasn’t going to ask. She didn’t want him to get snarky again. Shaking her head, she sighed. Damon was a puzzle and the more time she spent the more she wanted to find out about him.

Damon had needed some alone time. He wasn’t the type to be with people all the time. He liked to be alone. No one asked him for anything and he got to relax. From a young age he’d learned that everyone wanted something from someone. Usually in his family it was money. Damon had learned the hard way over the years that his money and fame left him little privacy. But today, even though he was in a crowded theme park, people were so busy they didn’t notice him and he felt blissfully alone.
