You’re supposed to knock first,” she said.
    The corner of my mouth rose, and I closed the door before Seth could catch a glimpse. “Nothing I haven’t seen before.”
    Kayla rolled her eyes and held the dress to her chest. “Zip me up, would you?”
    She turned around, exposing her bare back to me. I took a second to stare and let my gaze wander down her back to the top of her light pink underwear. She’d gotten so toned over the last few weeks of training. My trousers tightened. Laying my tux on the bed, I crossed to her and grabbed the zipper. She smelled like strawberries and vanilla ice cream. I closed my eyes and kissed the side of her neck, running a knuckle down her spine.
    She trembled. “We don’t have time.”
    “We can be late,” I spoke against her skin.
    “Daniel.”
    Groaning, I removed my lips and fastened her dress—which was definitely coming off later.
    Kayla faced me, her cheeks pink. I fingered the dark brown hair she’d curled over one shoulder. Her strapless dress hugged her curves and hung to the floor. Around her neck, she wore the black rose pendant I’d bought for her in Rome.
    “You’re stunning,” I said.
    “Apparently.” She smirked.
    With a grin, I stepped away and dressed. “I don’t get why this has to be so formal. Can’t we eat and drink and be merry without the bloody costumes?”
    “Oh, come on. It’ll be fun.” Kayla stopped applying her makeup to glance at me. Her lips parted slightly. “You really should wear a ‘costume’ more often. Wait, is that a green vest?”
    I glanced at my chest. The shade
was
eerily similar to her dress. Great. Now we were one of
those
couples.
    “Yes, it’s green,” I replied. “But I didn’t know you’d be wearing this color when I picked it.” I looped my necktie around my collar and began to knot it, flashing her a smile. “I could go shirtless, you know. I can pretend I’m one of those—what are they called—Chippendales.”
    Kayla exploded in a fit of laughter. I grinned so hard my face hurt. It felt like ages since I’d heard that sound, and it was invigorating.
    “Hurry it up, Romeo,” Tabbi called from the living room.
    My cheeks warmed as Kayla laughed harder. How many times did I have to tell Tabbi that Kayla’s brain was off limits? I finished fastening my tie and entered the living room to tousle the red head’s carefully-styled hair.
    “You jerk!” Tabbi shouted through her thick Irish accent, jumping off the sofa as Seth chuckled. She smoothed her hair and black dress before plopping back down, glaring at me.
    Five minutes later, Samantha and Kayla exited their rooms. Samantha wore a floor-length, blood-red dress with a neckline cut to her belly button. Her curly, blonde hair was piled in a loose bun on top of her head. Her chest was practically on display, and her back was fully exposed. I looked away before Kayla accused me of undressing Samantha with my eyes—but, good Lord, she wore less fabric now than she had with the towel. How could I not picture her naked?
    I straightened my tie and scolded myself for being a moron.
    Seth whistled. “Damn, girl. Maybe I should be wooing you tonight.”
    “In your dreams,” she replied.
    “Yes. Yes, you are. Wet—”
    “All right. Let’s get out of here,” I interrupted and held out my hand for Kayla to take. My heartbeat was loud in my ears. She slipped her fingers between mine, and we led the others out the door.



own the tunnel to the banquet hall, the floating lanterns changed from white to soft pinks and purples, and when we entered the large cavern, the ceiling had been spelled to resemble the night sky, full of bright stars. Enough tables to seat one hundred filled the large space, and on them were white tablecloths and bowls of water with floating candles. Last time I’d seen something this beautiful was in a Weaver’s dream of some rich bloke’s wedding. Trishna had really outdone herself.
    “Wow,” Tabbi said.
    “You can say that
