“All right,” Demi said.
She followed them to the bar, where Annie grabbed the door and held it open. Somehow, Demi was the first one through the door. The lights were off in the bar, but there was…candlelight?
“What the heck?”
* * *
Rhaider grinned in the darkness as the females crowded in behind Demi and shut the front door. The lights came on, and Demi blinked and then gasped.
First, she looked fucking incredible.
And second, she looked so surprised.
Rafe and Rhaider walked to her and held up the corsages.
“Would you do us the honor of being our date to prom?” Rhaider asked.
Her mouth fell open, but she didn’t say anything.
“Sweetheart?” Rafe whispered.
She startled a bit and grinned. “Yes! Oh my gosh. It’s a prom!”
“We did this for you,” Rhaider said. They both slipped pretty corsages on her wrists. “You never got a prom, and we wanted to give you an amazing night.”
She looked at the couples around them, all the females wearing corsages, all the males wearing tuxes.
Her eyes glittered with tears. “I can’t believe you did this for me.”
“We’d do anything to make you happy, sweetheart,” Rhaider said. “Anything.”
“Thank you both so much, it’s amazing.”
They escorted her to the photo area, where Diesel’s mom took pictures of them, and then they used Rafe’s phone for a few photos and sent them off to their mom.
The night was a blur of a great meal and tons of dancing. Sometimes they danced as a trio, but mostly he and Rafe took turns dancing Demi around the floor. They capped off the night by proposing to her during a slow song. When she said yes and they slipped their rings on the ring fingers of both her hands, everyone in the bar clapped and cheered.
“We’ve got one more surprise,” Rhaider said as they walked out of the bar at eleven p.m., arm-in-arm.
“Another?” she asked.
“Yep. The limo’s going to take us one more place,” Rafe said.
The final surprise was that they were going to spend the night in their new place. He and Rafe had worked hard to get the master bedroom ready. Although all their things weren’t in the new house, they had a new king-sized bed set up, and the fridge was stocked.
“This was the best night ever,” she said as she sat between them on the bench seat.
“It’s not over yet,” Rafe said.
“The best is yet to come,” Rhaider.
And he meant that in every sense of the word. He knew that the next few months would see a lot of changes in their lives. They’d move into their new place, get married, and start a family. Everything about their lives had changed drastically when they’d come to Kedrick to audition to be the Tails house band. He couldn’t believe seeing that online post for auditions had ended with them finding their heart-match and being accepted by the most amazing group of lions.
They were surrounded by new friends who were supportive and kind.
But the best was yet to come.
Lots of love. A family. A future wide open with possibilities.
He couldn’t wait.
