“Do I look okay?” I asked Evan as Vlado slowed the car to a stop.

“You look perfect.”

I looked down at my clothes critically. “Are you sure?” I smoothed my hand over the emerald-green silk shirt I’d paired with my tuxedo. “Is the boat neck too casual? Maybe I should have gone with something more traditional.”

“Nicky, look at me.”

I flicked my gaze to his.

“You look perfect.”

I smiled, some of the tension leaving me at the heat and affection in his eyes.

“There’s no reason to be nervous.”

“I’m not nervous. I just don’t want to screw this up.”

“You won’t. Just be yourself and have fun. Everything else will fall into place.”

The valet opened the car door. I pasted on a smile and climbed out of the car.

“Holy mother of pearl.” I craned my neck and looked up at the hotel the benefit was being held at. “You didn’t tell me we were going to a literal castle!”

Vlado covered his laugh with a cough. “Wait until you see the inside.”

“I’m gonna get tackled by the poor police as soon as I step through the door, aren’t I?”

“No one is tackling anyone.” Evan held out his arm. “Not in public, at least.”

Looping my arm through his, I tossed him a sweet smile. “I thought you weren’t into primal play?”

“Primal play?” Vlado fell into step behind us as Evan led me up the walkway, which had an honest-to-god red carpet, and toward the ornate glass doors. “What’s that? It sounds like it’s either a great time, or a terrifying one.”

“Depends. Do you like chasing your partners down and going all caveman on them?”

“Yeah, not really my thing. I’m more of a pleasure Dom.”

“Really?” Perking up, I glanced back at him. “Bet the ladies love that.”

“I’ve never had any complaints,” he said with a smirk.

I turned my attention back to the hotel as we stepped through the main doors.

“Holy crap on a cracker. What in the Midas touch is going on here? Why is everything so…gold?”

“Because it’s luxe?” Vlado said.

My head was on a swivel as we walked across the gilded lobby. Every fixture and surface was done in gleaming gold, and the décor and furnishings wouldn’t be out of place in a palace. “It reminds me of those people who wear designer labels from head to toe. A little is classy, a lot is trashy. How much does a room go for here?”

“A lot,” Evan said.

I glanced at him as he steered me toward the back of the lobby. “Is this one of those ‘if you have to ask, you can’t afford it’ moments?”

He nodded.

“Are the rooms like this too?” I waved my hand around. “Do you think people stay here to cosplay royalty and live out their princess fantasies?”

Vlado choked out a laugh. “Princess fantasies?”

“You never pretended you were a princess when you were a kid? If I was staying in a place like this I’d totally pack a gown and tiara and just sit in my fancy-ass room that probably costs more than my rent and pretend I was a princess.
