Docked, page 21
Jade blows off my warning and looks to her fiancé. “Tanner, I’m giving you one chance to make the right decision. You get in that elevator with her, and I will see to it you lose everything, and I do mean everything. Or you walk away with me. Right now.”
I step into the elevator and my gaze jumps to Tanner. My fingers pause over the buttons. His face is red with fury, his eyes churning with conflict and despair. Barely a beat passes before he steps back, joining Jade’s side. His head drops, gaze cast to the floor, hands moving to his pockets.
The last thing I see before the elevator doors close is Jade’s pleased smirk and her arm curling around his, the sparkle in her eye beating at me like a heavy drum. The elevator descends, carrying me down into the ship’s bowels, and I close my eyes. I now know three things: I cannot play. Tanner Christensen wasn’t, isn’t, and never will be mine.
And I have to find a way to get the hell off this ship.
