“You hit submit already?!”
“Yeah. You told me to do it.”
“To draft it! Not submit it.”
“Oh. Well lucky for you, I worded it perfectly.”
“Are you sure?” I was borderline freaking out. Genie wishes were notorious for getting twisted in horrible ways. Combine that with the Society being a sex club, and there was a high likelihood that a poorly worded wish would lead to a gangbang or something. “What exactly did you type?”
“I wish for me and my best friend, Chastity Morgan, to have access to Club Onyx,” recited Chastity.
I stared at her. “Very funny. What did you really type?”
“That was it. Shit. Should I have switched the order that I listed us? I know it’s not technically correct to sayme and, but the other way just felt a little clunky.”
“Chastity. What the actual hell?! Why would you wish for that?”
“Uh…what else would I have wished for? All of Tanner’s secrets are at Club Onyx. Thus, we need access. You even said we were on the same page.”
“Because I thought we were! Clearly we needed to wish for Tanner to be safe.”Damn it, Chastity!
“Huh, I never thought of that.” She cringed a little. “That’s my bad.”
“You’re damn right it’s your bad! If something happens to Tanner now…”
“For what it’s worth, I actually do think this is a better wish. Tanner is part of the Society. If they could solve his problems, he would have wished for their help already.”
Huh.I hadn’t thought of that. “You have a point. But I’m still mad at you. From now on, no more submitting wishes for me. Got it?”
“Yeah. I promise, I’ll do whatever I can to help keep Tanner safe.”
“Does that mean you’ll let Tanner’s former lover’s dad revenge-bang you instead of me?”
“Absolutely. I bet he’s quite the silver fox.”
Thank God.I didn’t know when we’d get access to Club Onyx, but in the meantime I could try to get Tanner to spill the beans about whose daughter he’d banged.
There was only one problem: Tanner didn’t show up for work the next morning.
Stalker Problems - Chapter 49 - DODO
Wednesday – May 31, 2023
“Where is he?” I whispered to Chastity for about the 20thtime. It was 10 o’clock and there was still no sign of him. He was never this late to work. Something was definitely wrong. It took every ounce of my restraint to keep my butt parked in my chair so I wouldn’t start pacing.
“He’ll be here,” she said.
“But what if dodo got him!”
“Ash.Wewere the ones who bugged his phone. Not dodo. He’s not in any danger.”
Right.I kept forgetting about that. Or maybe it was just easier to be worried about him disappearing than to focus on the fact that he couldn’t be with me because of some other girl he’d been with. I hated her and her stupid dad. If that was even what was happening. It was just a theory - albeit a more realistic theory than Tanner being a vampire.
And then there was still the mystery of how he made my secret closet. Chastity and I had inspected it more thoroughly last night. Or at least we’d tried to. It had quickly devolved into Chastity wanting to try on more of the clothes. She’d somehow convinced me that I should wear lingerie under my clothes at all times in case I needed to perform an impromptu seduction. Luckily Odegaard lingerie was super comfortable. Despite all the lace and straps, it was basically like walking around in athleisurewear. And it made me feel sexy as hell.
Except when my man was missing!Gah! Where is he?!
“Take a deep breath,” said Chastity. “And maybe try texting him?”
