Erestor sighed in contentment. It was nice to be back home in the last Homely House. His mate, Glorfindel, met him at the door with a sound kiss that brought laughter to everyone watching, and a blush to his cheeks. Then he had presented Erestor with a gift of new robes.

“Promise me you will wear them tonight at the feast,” he pleaded.

He had agreed without even opening the box. He had thought only to please his love after being gone for almost a year on diplomatic trips. Now however, he was having second thoughts. He had gasped at the various shades of purple that made up his new robes. They were beautiful and would be the envy of many. Then he had tried them on. They were so tight, they left little to the imagination, and less room to move. He could not possibly be expected to wear them in public. The fit was indecent and Elrond would chastise him. But he had promised his love before all. What would he do?

Erestor heard the gasps of the crowd as he entered the dining room. He would endure this and escape to his rooms as soon as he could. As he approached the high table, he saw Glorfindel pass Elrond some trinket.

“See,” Elrond began. “I told you he would wear them regardless. That is true love.”

Erestor seethed and planned his revenge as he realized he had been the victim of one of their bets. His mate would pay for this, and he was going to enjoy every minute of it. He had been gone a long while after all.
