dateless for most things she did with me."
"I find it hard to believe you don't get dates. Have you looked in the mirror lately?" Kristen laughed when he primped in the mirror behind the counter.
"The guy I'm dating isn't ready to come out." He sighed. "If he wasn't so damn hot, I'd dump him. I probably will anyway."
"He won't come out of the closet?" Kristen found it crazy. "For someone like you, he should jump out with nipple tassels."
His smile was sweet. "No, not that. His family is against him with a wolf. I will have to talk to him about nipple tassels, maybe he'll do that." He attempted to laugh, but it was dry.
Kristen reached for his hand and covered it with hers not worrying about the whole scent thing with Vane. "I'm so sorry. That sucks."
"Yeah, well, I deal with it. I'm to the point of giving him an ultimatum." Vane stopped talking and drank his coffee when a group of people came in and she took their orders.
Once everyone was seated, he got her attention again. "Will you be my date for Baby and Isen's wedding?"
The coffee in her hand splashed and she cringed at the burn on her hand. "I didn't know your kind had weddings."
"Oh, we do, have to get married for legal purposes with whomever we mate. Of course, most wolves go to the courthouse and do a quickie. Others, especially females, like the whole dress and cake thing. You know Baby would."
She rounded the counter to deliver the coffees to the group. When she came back to the counter, Vane waited with an expectant expression. "You're not going to be the only human. The people from work are coming and Baby's neighbor Mrs. Jacoby will be there. Some of the wolves are bringing human dates."
"No, it's not that, of course I'll go. I would love to be at Baby's wedding. Thank you so much for inviting me." She hugged Vane who grinned widely.
"Are we going to coordinate outfits?" Kristen asked getting excited at going to a gathering where she could watch Taden for more than a few minutes.
"With what?" Vane frowned. "What are we supposed to coordinate with?"
"I thought gay men loved fashion." Kristen cringed. "Sorry, I'm stereotyping."
Vane laughed. "Yeah, that's not me. If I look halfway put together, it’s because Baby picks out all my clothes."
As much as she wanted to go, she wondered if it was wise. Yes, Taden was hot as all get out, but she wasn't about to get with a wolf. She'd heard all the stories of how voracious they were in bed. Heck, the line of women trying to get into Sanctum was testament to what these males offered. A challenge many women could not refuse. She wasn't sure if she was up to it. Especially given Taden's size. The guy was physically huge. He was the alpha wolf, the pack's leader, which meant he was probably strong too.
"So, what is the attire?" Kristen gave in, she really did want to see Baby get married.
Vane looked up from his cell. "Uh, I don't know, it's at five in the evening this Saturday."
"All right, I'll figure out something." She reached for his hand again. "Thank you for thinking of me."
She looked up and noticed the wolves that walked in stared at them with unabashed curiosity. "They are all wondering what we're up to," Kristen whispered.
"True." Vane shrugged. "I bet rumors will fly when you come to the wedding as my date." He leaned over the counter and kissed her on the lips. "Laters, babe"
Kristen pressed her lips together and turned away to finish the drinks for the wolves. But she heard the mumbles. Yep, they were wondering what was up and she wasn't sure she liked being the center of a pack of wolves' attention.
Late that afternoon, she finally got home with arms full of shopping bags. Three dresses and two pairs of shoes along with a couple sets of matching panties and bras was the most she'd purchased in a single day in a long time.
