you might be under that silky sack thing you’re wearing.” “My robe?” Esral’s brow furrowed. “Don’t you like it? It’s my finest garment.” “It’s beautiful,” Tanya interjected. “I’ll tell you what, you get started on my wedding dress while we sort through your clothes. Between my wardrobe and what you’ve brought, I’m sure we’ll come up with something a little more…fitting for the occasion…not that you don’t look stunning.” Tanya directed the elf to the gowns and explained what she wanted. Tanya planned on making Esral look ravishing for the ceremony. Both Griffin and Xavier wouldn’t know what hit them when they caught an eyeful of the princess. Hopefully Xavier would get a wakeup call. If not then Griffin would ask her out for sure, which would no doubt spark Xavier’s jealousy. The princess picked up the red gown and smiled. “Easy as a knife through a banana.” She took a moment to dig around in her sewing kit and then got to work. Not ten minutes later, she held the gown up in front of her. “I think this will work great.” The rest of the ladies were still sorting through different potential dresses for Esral to wear. More like arguing. Becky wanted to see the princess in a hot pink sheath dress. Tanya felt a long lavender sleeveless gown would look amazing on her. Charlotte had chosen a floral strappy dress with a conservative neckline. It widened out into a flared skirt that would fall mid-thigh. None of them could agree on which dress was right, but they were all in agreement that Esral should definitely not wear the robe. Tanya felt her jaw drop when she caught sight of her gown. It was even more beautiful now that it was together. “Are you done?” She clasped her hand over her mouth for a few beats. “I can’t believe you’re done.” The little elf giggled, the sound almost musical. “No, silly. We first need to make sure it fits properly before I do the final stitching.” “Okay.” “Here”—Becky threw her the bra—“don’t forget this.” She wagged her eyebrows. “I bet you that dress gets you that vampire sandwich you’ve been fanaticizing about.” Charlotte laughed. “I happen to know that Zane quite enjoys…” She froze. Probably caught the dirty look Tanya threw her. “Oops. Sorry, I keep forgetting that humans are more reserved about such things.” “It’s not about being reserved, I just don’t like to hear about Zane with other females.” Charlotte shrugged. “Let me know if you ever want to know more. I have often been with two partners. There are some interesting things that you should know. Really enjoyable things the three of you could do.” Her eyes brightened. “Stuff that wouldn’t be possible with just one if you catch my drift. But then again you don’t need me to tell you because…” She dropped her eyes to the floor. “Forget I ever said anything.” “Charlotte”—Tanya put on her best warning voice—“out with it.” The vampire’s shoulders slumped and she let out a sigh. “You’ll just get mad.” “I won’t.” The vamp’s blue eyes met hers, instead of answering though she crossed her arms and pursed her lips. “Tell me damn it.” “Fine, Zane is already familiar with the things I was talking about. He’ll know what to do and how to do it.” Charlotte held her breath. Although Tanya didn’t like that Charlotte had slept with Zane, hated that the female had experienced things with him she probably never would, she managed to somehow school her thoughts. “Thanks for letting me know.” She bit her lip trying to keep a tight hold on the emotions coursing through her. “You’re not mad?” At first Tanya had to force a smile, but when she saw the relief on the other female’s face she found herself smiling for real. Her vampire males had a past. Moping about it wouldn’t help. Tanya turned back to Esral, who held out the gown. It was so perfect. Somehow representing
