CHAPTER SIXTEEN

“WOOF.”

I was sure that’s what I heard the guy in the black T-shirt say after he stamped my hand. One of the bouncers whispered something in response, and they all nodded and chuckled.

I leaned closer to Tanner as we made our way through the crowd. “Did that guy just bark at me?”

Tanner grinned. “Yep. That’s gay for he thinks you’re hot.”

“Oh.” My cheeks prickled.

Tanner slid his hand across my back and tugged me toward him as we kept moving. Leaning in close, his mouth grazed my ear. “He’s right.”

His warm breath made me tingle from head to toe. The urge to pull away from him stiffened my shoulders, but as I glanced around the crowd, I realized no one here would care. Two guys leaning against the bar had their hands in each other’s back pockets. Two others were dancing on one of the raised platforms, in full view of everyone, moving together like their dicks were magnets that couldn’t be pulled apart. No one stared. No one pointed. I didn’t even see any sideways glances.

Tanner’s lips moved near my ear again. “You okay?”

It was too loud to talk, so I nodded.

“You want a drink, or you want to dance?”

The sound of his voice vibrated through me, making the hairs on my arms stand at attention. Dance? Before I could answer, I heard a familiar shriek.

“Birthday boy!” Seconds later Wendy had catapulted herself into my arms and planted a mushy kiss on my cheek. “Twenty-one! Wooo!”

“Hey, when did you get here?”

“I caught the early ferry. Dex texted me and told me everyone was meeting up here to celebrate, but I haven’t seen anyone else yet.”

Even though she was yelling, it was hard to hear, but I could tell Tanner had made out what she’d said. He shot me a look and a subtle headshake. “I think they’re on their way. We just got here too. This place is a madhouse.”

“I know. But I managed to get the bartender’s attention.” She shimmied her boobs and they jiggled in her low-cut tank. I was pretty sure she’d had at least a few drinks while she was waiting. “What are you drinking, Collin? Birthday booze is on me.”

Tanner nodded, and I knew he wanted me to keep Wendy busy so he could scan the crowd and see if Dex or Maggie had made an appearance yet. Why would Dex tell Wendy to meet them here, then not show up? He couldn’t be that stupid. Or that mean. Could he? Shit.

Wendy gave a little jump and propped herself up on the bar like a gymnast on the uneven parallels. The bartender saw her and threw her a devilish grin. “You ready for another already?”

“Sure am. And I need drinks for my two fuck-hot friends. Card the one in the blue shirt. It’s his birthday.” She winked at me.

“Happy birthday, man. What can I get you?”

I had no idea. Tanner was still looking around. He shrugged at me, so I guessed there was no sign of Dex.
