The Elvish Romance

The Ball

Oliver's P.O.V

"Oli come on this is the sixth store. None of these stores have a dress that looks good on me. Why can't I just wear a suit?" Leo complains for the umpteenth time.

"Leo, you have to wear a dress it is tradition for the submissive to wear female clothing to formal events." I say for the fourth time today. "Plus, I have a good feeling about this store." Leo groans but trudges after me. I spend about fifteen minutes flitting through dress after dress until I came across a maroon tulle dress. It was floor length with a V-neck and cross straps on an open back. "Leo come look at this one." As Leo comes around the rack he gasps.

"It's perfect." He mumbles. "Let me go try it on." Twenty minutes the dress and matching silver flats that will go perfectly with Asher and I's gifts. It's a good thing since the ball is only three days away.

I stood close to Asher tying his tie for him. Not that Asher can't tie a tie he just isn't very good at tying it on a person. I finish tying his tie but before I can back away he wraps and arm around me pulling me to his chest and kissing me.

"You look dashing tonight peanut." Asher murmured against my lips.

"Thank you." I say flushing. "You are too." We are both in charcoal gray suits and maroon ties to match Leo's dress. I clear my throat to cover up my uncharacteristically shy moment. "Listen when Leo comes in here no matter how he looks you will be supportive."

"Of course, I would be nothing but." Asher says. Slowly the door to the bathroom creeped open and Leo slowly stepped out. He looks gorgeous. The gown fits him well and compliments his curves. The color enhances his lightly tanned skin. He is smiling shyly at us showing off his dimples. He looks to be the pinnacle of beauty tonight.

"Leo, you look lovely." I say. His smile grows.

"Thank you, Oli you look wonderful yourself." He says politely. I turn back to Asher about to urge him to say something but when I turned he was gaping. Plainly ogling our submissive. Clearly Leo had noticed as well as he let out a quiet giggle.

"Words can not describe how beautiful you are Little Love." Asher says. Leo's face turns a light shade of pink. Asher smiles before turning and retrieving Leo's early Christmas gifts. "We have something for you Leo. Call it an early Christmas gift." He says handing Leo a small black bag. Leo grabs it and pulls out the tissue paper and grabbing the two smaller boxes inside. One green and one red. He opens the green one first and a thin silver bracelet with a book, feather, a small number three, a little cauldron, and a tie charm. He tenderly sets it on the table before he turns to open the red box. Inside is a necklace with small black pendant surrounded by a ring of ruby, emerald, and sapphire. Our birth stones.

"They are beautiful. I love them." Leo says. "But they're to much I can't accept them they must have cost a small fortune."

"Leo just accept them. If we thought it was to much we wouldn't have gotten them made." Asher says.

"Fine but I want you to know that I love you just as much without the expensive gifts." Leo says with a huff.

"We know Leo but that doesn't make us want to spoil you any less." I say as I pick up the bracelet and clip it around Leo's wrist. Asher did the same with the necklace before we back away and let Leo go examine himself in the mirror.

"I love them thank you." He says admiring himself in the mirror. We stand like that for a minute Leo looking in the mirror and us looking at him. But soon we must leave the comfort of our suite.

"Guest should already be arriving. We must go start greeting." Asher says with a disappointed sigh.

And so for almost an hour we stand in the foyer and greet each guest. It's bland and boring but sly whispers and hidden gestures make it bearable. Eventually, we to head to the ballroom. Asher announces that food will be served soon and to find a place at one of the circular tables to the outskirts of the room. We eat together talking quietly.

After everyone finishes eating it is time to start the dancing. Traditionally Asher will dance with Leo first to start off the dancing. I watch as my lovers twirl around the floor in a beautiful waltz. Leo's skirt swishing in time and Asher's precise and but natural movements paint a beautiful picture. Their dance ends all to soon but I guess that means I get to dance with Leo.

I dance with Leo twice before Asher sweeps and takes him off dancing. I don't know which I like better dancing with Leo or seeing him dance with Ash. I do know however that no one besides me and Ash will be dancing with him tonight. He is yet to bear our marks and we will not be taking any risks.

And so the night goes by with dancing and socializing. Overall, it has been a great night so far but little does Leo know that it is nowhere near over. As much as I like parties what we have planned for after the party will top anything that could happen at a party.
