Chapter 19

Tanner

A knock jolted me from the half-nap I was having on the bed. I opened the door to find Rylee standing there, looking scared and sheepish as usual. I’d really calmed down around her since I’d gotten sober, so I wasn’t sure why she was still like this with me, although I guessed it was because I’d spent years screaming at her on a daily basis.

“Tanner, Addi asked me to give you this and to tell you to wear it to dinner. Emmy’s request. She said telling you that might make you more likely to agree.”

“Thanks, Rylee.” I took the suit bag, closing the door, before unzipping it to see a black tux, white button-down shirt, and a bow tie.

“Oh, hell no.”

At eight o’clock on the dot, I headed out of my suite to find everyone else, but there was only Matt and Rob waiting there for me. They both nodded before Rob pushed the down button on the elevator. He pointed inside, using actions instead of words as usual.

“Not joining us tonight, Matt?”

“Just waiting for Miss Winters and we will follow you down.”

I pressed my hand against the closing doors. “We can wait.”

“No, she asked that you meet her down there. She won’t be long.”

I nodded, removing my hand and letting the doors close. The elevator took us down to a private dining room where the twins, Frankie, and Addi, were waiting for me, sitting around a large circular table. Addi glanced up at me before laughing loudly. “I don’t think that was quite the look the lovely Emmy had in mind when she ordered you that suit, Tanner.”

“What?” I peered down. I was wearing the tux as instructed. I had the trousers and the suit jacket on. I’d even worn the formal, stuffy shirt. However, I’d rock-starred it up to the max. The shirt was unbuttoned, leaving my bare chest exposed, tattoos on show. The bowtie hung unfastened around my neck, and I’d gone barefoot, as none of my boots worked with the suit. I wore black and silver rings on three of my fingers that balanced beautifully with the dark tattoos on the backs of my hands. Back eyeliner lined the underneath of my eyes and my hair was tussled to perfection. I looked like someone who had been on a heavy night out and I loved it.

I bowed as they all clapped and cheered before I took a seat at the table. Just as I sat, the door opened and Frankie screamed. I twisted in my seat to find Emmy in the doorway looking like a goddess. Wearing a floor-length black gown, with a halter neck and a low-cut front that gave me a delicious, teasing glimpse of her cleavage. The skirt of the dress was full and skimmed the floor as she walked. Loose curls hung over her shoulders, and her makeup was light except for her ruby red lips. Silver bracelets adorned her wrists, and I noticed a crown sitting on her head, sparkling in the low lights.
