Chapter 3

AN: Well, this whole writing thing got away from me for a bit, sorry everyone! Thank you to my alpha @thatbanditqueen, who decodes my gibberish, and a big thank you to @vintageshanny, @ellie-24 and @be-my-ally for keeping me sane without even knowing it.

Here are the previous chapters since you'll definitely need to be remind yourself what it's all about!

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

There was a sharp rapping at the door after lunch the next day. Sally had gone back to the room to change into her bikini and robe, deciding to brave the poolside because she was tired of looking like the washed-out spirit of some pioneer girl haunting the hotel.

Thinking it was Laura checking on why she was taking so long, Sally threw open the door as she went to the mirror and adjusted the bikini top beneath her loose peasant blouse.

“Do you think I should untie the straps on this thing? I don’t want to have white lines on my shoulders.”

The tall man standing in the doorway raised his eyebrows behind his sunglasses and flashed a wide smile.

“Uh, I don’t know that I’m qualified to answer that one, Miss,” he replied amiably with a shrug.

Sally whirled round, feeling her mortified blush tingle as it hit her hairline.

“Oh gosh, I thought you were someone else,” she mumbled lamely. “Sorry.”

“Yeah, my name’s Sonny. I work for-“ He pointed a finger up and Sally frowned.

“God?” Utah wasn’t a million miles away but surely they didn’t send missionaries to the Las Vegas casino hotels. That just seemed unfair on both sides.

“What?” He gave a sharp laugh. “No!” He shot her a look like he thought she was either dumb or crazy, maybe a mixture of both. But she wasn’t the one who cased the corridor like a secret agent before murmuring: “Elvis. I work for Elvis.”

“Oh.” She thought that he was maybe waiting for more of a reaction, but after worrying that he was a Mormon missionary, the fact that he was one of Elvis’ guys was a relief.

“Uh, anyway, my boss wanted me to bring you these-“ He whipped out the tickets for that night’s show. “And, uh, this.” He held out a small, dark green velvet case in his other hand. She took both and frowned again at his look of expectation.

“Do you… Oh, I don’t really have any cash on me right now. Hang on a second, I can check-”

“God, no.” He wiped his face with a big meaty hand and yanked off his sunglasses, fixing her with a look that she thought was supposed to be intimidating but just looked exhausted. “Can you open it please? I’m s’posed to let him know how you… acted.”

“No pressure,” she muttered, lifting the lid.

Inside was a gold bracelet interlaced around emeralds circled by little diamonds. It looked like something the Queen of England might wear to a soiree, not a teller from a bank in the middle of nowhere. Not without being accused of embezzlement.

All of that ran through her head as she stared open-mouthed. Finally, she remembered her audience and she glanced back up.

“Can you tell him that I was overjoyed and jumped up and down and was grateful?” she asked, worrying that she hadn’t accrued enough goodwill to get him to lie for her. “I am very grateful, really grateful, but this is… I’ve never even seen anything like this before, let alone touched it.” She tentatively put a finger to the metal; it felt cool against her fingertip.

“Yeah, I’ll tell him.” He slid his sunglasses back on and gave her a small smile and a nod. “I’ll see ya.”

Sally nodded back and closed the door, clutching the tickets and bracelet to her chest. “Well, that was weird.”

At the pool, Laura huddled over the bracelet, pulling Sally’s wrist close to her near-sighted eyes like she was a jeweler, appraising gems.

“You think they’re real?” she asked, tilting Sally’s arm to see the stones caught the sun. Sally looked around at the other people on the sun loungers, feeling slightly too conspicuous thrusting precious stones in the air.

“I don’t know.”

“And you didn’t even have to sleep with him.”

“Keep your voice down!” Sally hissed, snatching her arm away.

“I’m just saying, you’ve got to be careful playing hard to get, you know, Sal, they can get tired of it real suddenly.”

“That’s not what I’m doing. I wouldn’t do that.”

Sally could imagine that he would be able to see through that pretty quickly too. He seemed to do that, to see deeper than people thought he did, or at least it felt like he did when his eyes were on you.

Almost as if she was afraid of being caught, she glanced up at the towering white façade of the hotel. It rose up and disappeared into the shimmering heat of the endless blue sky. Somewhere, right at the very top, which she couldn’t make out from the bottom, he was there. She wondered if he was thinking about her. Maybe he was looking down at the pool… She felt her cheeks heat up and she had to look away just in case.

That evening, she and Laura were standing in line for the dinner show. At the front were the devoted fans who had probably started queuing while they were still at the pool.

“Imagine if they knew you what you got up to last night,” Laura remarked, wiggling her eyebrows. She seemed more excited by the cachet of Sally’s relationship, such as it was, with Elvis, than Sally herself was. “What? It’s okay to enjoy things, Sal, Jesus!”

Sally opened her mouth to reply, but was interrupted by Emilio the maître de who had somehow picked them out of the crowd of heavily made-up glamorously dressed women.

“The Beatles fan… Sally, is it not?” He pecked both her cheeks and then grabbed her fingers, wrapping them around his crooked arm. “We have been told to take extra special care of you.”

Sally glanced back at Laura, who had snatched hold of her other arm, and pulled a face. They giggled as they were escorted past all the baleful looking people in front of them in the queue.

“It’s like being a movie star!” she whispered to Laura.

“Now you’re getting it.”

Sitting in the central booth again, they felt highly visible as the room rapidly filled and staff served dinner. Sally watched the tables beside the stage fill up, the biggest tippers sitting central, women only closest to the stage.

“You know, some people come all the way from Japan and England and Australia just to watch these shows. Not even on vacation, just to see Elvis. The other night, I was talking to some people from South Africa!”

“Well, older folks have more money I guess,” Laura murmured, sipping her champagne.

“It’s not just older people,” she murmured, hearing how defensive she sounded. Laura shrugged, but didn’t reply as the lights started to go down.

The show passed in a blur of lights, sounds and, of course, music. Sally could tell that Elvis was getting more comfortable on the stage with each show, the patter between each song was becoming longer, sometimes surreal, usually funny, and he was cutting up during the songs more, swapping lyrics, usually for something dirty. The audiences seemed to enjoy it, and he certainly seemed to thrive on that.

Joe appeared during the piano intro for ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love.’ This time, he didn’t ask them to come backstage, he just gave them a smirk and gestured for them to go ahead of him.

In the wood panelled outer dressing room, Sally recognised some of the stars in the crowd, there were the actors from the Mod Squad, over there was Glen Campbell, but there was only one face she was looking for. She stayed back as the inner dressing room door opened, there was a glimpse of fleur-de-lis wallpaper, and Elvis came out.

Sally thought he looked anxious as he emerged, but even as her brain was registering it, his face relaxed into his usual charismatic smirk and he scanned the room. She averted her eyes, her stomach fluttering manically, and tried to look casual. She twitched a nervous smile at a stranger across the room and looked around for Laura, finding her beaming up at a tall, tanned older man.

Shaking her head, Sally turned back and almost banged her nose on Elvis’ chest.

“Oh!”

“Snuck up on ya, didn’t I!” He looked pretty pleased with himself even as he grabbed her forearm so that she didn’t stumble back. He pulled on her arm a little harder, tugging her towards him so that he could lean down and give her a lingering kiss on the cheek. She felt a wave of goosebumps ripple up her spine as her hand brushed against his suit jacket and his cologne tickled her nose.

“You did, I almost pulled out my pepper spray.”

“Pepper spray?! Hell, that ain’t no good, honey, that’s just seasoning. We oughta see about getting you a gun.”

“Oh, no thank you,” she replied, pulling a face.

“Not a big one,” he reassured her, like that was the problem. “You know, they make ‘em small enough that you can just put it in your purse.”

She envisioned fishing around for a mint or lipstick and shooting herself instead.

“I think I’m more comfortable with the pepper spray.”

Elvis pulled a face that told her that he wasn’t, but luckily they were interrupted by one of his famous guests, who leant right across her to shake Elvis’ hand and pat him on the shoulder. Sally moved back before she was elbowed. She almost stepped on the foot of a man behind her who was wearing a jacket covered in Elvis pins. It was a comedy of errors as she shuffled and circled and edged out of everyone’s way. She found herself pressed up against a decorative carpet that hung against the wall, overshadowed by a dark wood cabinet. It didn’t feel that different from the showroom, standing at a distance, watching him say his lines and his audience beaming at him. Even off stage he was still always giving a performance.

After about half an hour, the tall man who had delivered her bracelet- Sonny- gave her a pleasant smile and asked her to come with him. She glanced over at where Elvis was explaining something with animated hand gestures to a rapt group of men and women. The group let out a loud collective laugh as Sally grabbed Laura and they followed Sonny from the room.

“Where’s Elvis?” Laura asked as they walked along the bland tiled corridor towards the elevators.

“He’ll be coming along,” Sonny replied, pausing to introduce himself. Laura’s eyes lingered on him a little longer and Sally looked down to hide her knowing smile.

The elevator ride felt like an interrogation as Laura questioned Sonny on himself, on Elvis, on Hollywood, and anything else that caught her attention. Laura’s enthusiasm was unphased by Sonny’s stoicism, even after he mentioned his fiancée. Sally envied her friend’s confidence and self-assurance. Laura was the top saleswoman back home every month because she had a knack of dragging customers into conversations and building rapport with them so that when she mentioned that she was worried that they were not sufficiently covered by insurance, or that they could get that home renovation done now if they just signed up for a little, low-interest home loan, they felt they were being advised by a friend. If anyone had told Sally that one of them would get noticed by Elvis while on vacation, she would have bet all her cash on Laura.

Up in the Imperial suite, Sonny brought the women a drink and settled them in the den like they were his house guests. He seemed to have succumbed to Laura’s charms, sitting beside her on the couch and stretching out his arm behind her. Sally clutched her drink and surveyed the room, pretending to be intensely interested in the chandelier as Laura giggled quietly off to her right.

Finally, the door of the suite burst open and half a dozen guys strode in together. They all seemed to be talking at once, laughing at some in-joke. Elvis appeared amidst the group and the corner of his mouth twitched up as he caught sight of her. He made a beeline for her as his entourage peeled off and headed in different directions. Joe handed him a bottle of water, still talking to him, but it didn’t slow Elvis’ stride as he came and stood in front of her.

Without a word, he took the drink from her and placed it on the side table, then grabbed hold of her hand and pulled her to her feet.

“C’mon, honey, let’s go hide.”

Sally bit down on her lips to stop herself grinning like a cartoon as he tugged her along behind him. He took big strides so she had to half jog in her heels to keep up and she kept her eyes on the floor to make sure she didn’t trip on the thick carpet or any hidden steps.

In the bedroom, he slowed down as he purposefully closed the door, leaning on it for a moment before he turned round and smiled at her. She shivered involuntarily at the light twinkling in his eyes.

“Hi.”

“Hello,” she giggled and he bit his lip as he moved toward her, his eyes taking her in with an almost predatory hunger. His lips pressed softly against hers even as she felt him gathering her up, his hand around the back of her head, the other on the small of her back, sliding up as he pressed her into him.

Sally almost sagged in his arms as the anticipation and tension she had felt since leaving him passed liked waves from her body. She didn’t realise he was moving the both of them backwards until the side of the bed hit her calves and she made a squeaking noise against his mouth as she wobbled. Elvis’ grip of her tightened even as her arms tensed around his athletic frame, trying to keep herself upright.

Elvis pulled back from the waist up, his eyes opening slowly, thick black lashes flickering against his cheeks, as if he didn’t want to quite let go of the kiss. It only made her want to launch herself back at him, but she suspected he knew that.

“Man, I been thinking about this ever since I saw you in that dress,” he murmured, his hand dragging around her waist from her back and his long fingers tickling underneath the short hem.

Sally had already worn all of her good outfits to his shows, so she had borrowed a green mini dress from Laura and had spent most of the evening tugging it down.

“You wear this for me, honey?” His warm breath tickled her neck as he leant in to pepper her jaw and throat with soft butterfly kisses. “You ain’t trying to get me in trouble now, are you.”

At the same time, her thighs tingled with goosebumps at the feel of his callused fingers trailing up to the edge of her underwear beneath her skirt.

Part of her was protesting that this was too fast, that he was too much of everything: too experienced, too rich, too famous, too handsome, too Elvis for her. She was so far out of her depth that drowning was inevitable. The problem was that he made drowning look both exciting and pleasurable.

“I wore it because it matched my new bracelet,” she said, slipping her fingers through the opening of his jacket, warmed by his skin and the feel of the coarse chest hair against her fingertips. She could feel the thudding of his heart reverberating through his rib cage and sternum.

His chin dimpled as he peered down, grabbing her hand and pulling her wrist up for examination. She gazed at his face as he inspected her wrist, his left eyebrow twitching with self-satisfaction. She loved the creases at the corners of his mouth, how they made his full lips look sullen even as she knew he was suppressing a smile. It felt like a secret between them.

“You like it, baby?”

Sally shot him a look of disbelief. “Of course, it’s beautiful, Elvis, so beautiful, but you shouldn’t have. It looks expensive.”

“That don’t matter,” he murmured, frowning. “It looks pretty on your little wrist here.” He dipped forward and pressed his lips to the bony part of her wrist. Sally’s whole arm twitched at the heat and velvety softness of his mouth and her stomach fluttered as his pout continued its path round to her pulse point. His hair brushed against her jaw and throat as he leant over pressing kisses up the delicate skin on the inside of her forearm.

“I -uh..” She dropped down onto the bed, even as she was thinking that she was starting to feel a little lightheaded from holding her breath.

He looked like he was holding back a laugh as he asked, ‘You okay, honey?”

“I meant to do that.” She frowned, daring him to contradict her.

“Uh huh.” He nudged her legs open with his knee so that he could step closer and she could feel her skirt sliding to the top of her thighs as he drew in, his thumbs on her jaw tipping her head back so that he could kiss her as he slowly and gently lowered her back onto the bed, his tongue teasing its way into her mouth.

“Well,” he said, pressing his knee into the mattress right at the apex of her thighs, the pressure of him answering the ache beginning to throb there, “I might not get around to the next show, but-” He lifted a mischievous eyebrow. “It’ll be worth it.”

It took every drop of restraint in Sally’s being not to grind down on his thigh, but her self-discipline was almost immediately undermined by Elvis pressing down on her, and she let out a sigh mixed with a moan, catching a glimpse of his smirk before he kissed her again. Yet again, he was performing exactly the show he knew his audience enjoyed.

Trying to find some sense of balance, she let her hands glide down from his shoulder blades, feeling the mechanics of his lean muscles working beneath his suit jacket, and cupped his perfectly round ass. She felt him pause for a second, before he tried to cover his surprise by moving with even more authority, rolling his hips and driving a moan from her that had her turning her face into his neck and hiding in embarrassment. He didn’t seem to realise this was what she was doing as he shuddered and showered kisses on her throat and shoulder, pulling back her neckline as far as it could go so he could taste her pink, sun-kissed skin.

Sally felt his teeth clamp down lightly on the muscle in her shoulder before he drew back, depriving her of his spicy warmth, so that he could shrug off his suit jacket. As usual, he wasn’t wearing anything underneath and she couldn’t stop herself reaching out to touch his skin, running her fingertips up his sides and making him twitch and hiccup a laugh before he grabbed her wrists and pinned them above her head. Her bracelet bit into her skin from the pressure, but she didn’t fight it or protest.

“This okay?” he asked softly, his face looking suddenly very boyish and vulnerable. It was unexpected and helped ease some of her nerves as she gazed up at him and nodded. Her lips were swollen and tingly, seemingly a side effect of being in close proximity to him, and she bit down on her bottom lip, trying to stop herself from panting too needily. He groaned, mumbling about how she was going to be the end of him, and sank back down into kissing and rubbing and pressing against her as she shivered and writhed and pressed right back.

Sally’s skirt was now somewhere around her waist and her restraint was buried somewhere in the sand outside of Las Vegas along with everything else that people from this city found themselves forsaking. She hooked her fingers into the tight waistband of his pants and tugged impatiently even as her tongue was sliding against his.

“Hey, whoa whoa, easy, baby,” he mumbled into her mouth. “We got plenty of time. I got you to myself all night, right?” She nodded dumbly. “That’s right, we made a deal.”

Despite his words, he walked his fingers up her thigh and her breath stuttered in her throat as he slipped his thumb into the warmest, wettest part of her. His eyes crinkled slightly and his mouth fell slightly open as he studied her face, which she was desperately trying not to screw up into unflattering expressions as he circled and dragged the pad of his thumb over her slippery skin, flooding her with sensation, before slowing and ebbing back, letting her breathe and float for moment. He seemed to take her efforts to be quiet and composed as a personal challenge, shifting his hips to get more comfortable and pressing himself against her thigh, before pulling out his thumb from the leg of her underwear and insert his whole hand into the front.

“S’okay,” he whispered, panting softly, as he played her like an instrument with his delicate fingers and she bit down on a whine. She could see where his mascara was beginning to smudge below his eyes as they both lost their cool both figuratively and literally.

Sally felt sweat trickle from her hairline down behind her neck and she shifted slightly. Elvis glanced up from where he was watching the movement of his hand and his heavy-lidded eyes seemed to assess her. In one smooth movement, he rolled onto his back, his hand still working in her underwear, and reached over to grab a pillow from the top of the bed.

The next thing she knew she was being thwacked lightly in the face with it.

“No, wait, that ain’t right,” he remarked dryly, picking it up again and smirking at her disgruntled expression beneath. “Lift your head, honey.” She clasped her hair in one hand and raised her head so that he could tug the pillow into place with his free hand, grunting slightly as he tried to keep himself up at the same time.

As soon as he was satisfied she was comfortable, he leant back over to kiss the air from her, increasing the pressure of his fingers as they began to sink into her while his thumb strummed at the bundle of nerves, making her twitch and writhe.

“Oh God,” Sally breathed, clasping at his neck and the damp tendrils of his hair. She couldn’t decide where to touch him, still not able to believe that she could. Her hands moved from his neck to his shoulders to his back, brushing his narrow waist, kneading his perfect ass and squeezing his thighs.

As the knot tightened in her belly, her muscles tensed and she began to moan freely, losing her inhibitions, she palmed at the firm bulge in his pants. He growled softly, pressing his face to her chest and resting his warm, sweaty cheek against her decolletage, scratching her with his sideburn. It felt like he was everywhere, leaving nowhere for her to retreat and hide, making it impossible to stay calm and demure, giving her no way to hold it together.

His fingers prodded deeper, causing the swell of the waves of pleasure in her gut to break and ripple through her body. She whimpered into his damp hair as stimulation so intense that it was almost painful rolled over her, making her thighs clench and her toes curl. The aftershocks made her twitch and he huffed a laugh into her temple, giving her pussy a scritch like it was actually his pet.

Sally shot him a disapproving look, a little embarrassed at how completely he had taken her apart with just his hand. He raised his eyebrows and shrugged as if he wasn’t responsible for what he did.

While she slowed her breathing and felt the unwelcome return of her inhibitions, Elvis hovered over her, straightening her underwear and diligently pulling down her skirt. He moved up, adjusting her neckline and pulling the shoulder of her dress back into place. Sally hoped they hadn’t stretched it, because she knew Laura would make her pay for another and she suspected it wasn’t from a catalogue like Sally’s own dresses.

“All better,” he pronounced in a soft, babyish voice, looking down at her body. When his eyes returned to her face however, he snorted softly. “Up here’s a different story though, baby, up here you’s a mess!”

“Noooo!” she protested, her hands going up to her hair, feeling the damp frizz and knots as he gave a cartoonish cackle and nodded. She pouted and reached up, vigorously ruffling his hair and pushing it in his face. “There, now we match!”

There was a pause and her stomach dropped as she thought that maybe she had crossed a line, but then he laughed and shook his head, swiping his black hair out of his eyes before he swiftly straddled her and obliterated any hope she had that her hairdo was salvageable. She wrinkled her nose and blew a lock of hair off her face.

“You made me do that!” he informed her. “I didn’t have no choice.” He did one of his patented sullen smirks as he picked up a long lock of her hair and laid it across her forehead like a monobrow. His laughter vibrated through her and his thighs tightly clamped her hips as she batted at her face and knocked her hair away.

“You are a public menace,” she informed him.

“You ain’t the first person to say that,” he nodded. “First person with a bird’s nest on their head to say it though maybe…”

In spite of his playful tone and the calming endorphins flooding her body, she was starting to feel self-conscious and she tried to roll over and escape his grip.

“Okay, let me up.”

“Honey, I’m just teasing. It ain’t that bad.” The expression on his face contradicted his words. She shoved at his thighs, trying to push herself free, and quickly discovered when her hand slid up that she might have been a mess, but she was apparently an exciting mess.

It was another twenty minutes of rolling around on the bed before she made it to the bathroom to examine the damage to her hair. It was as bad as she had feared, and she rooted around in the drawers and cabinets looking for a brush or comb to attempt triage. During her search, she found three pistols, some amber bottles of medication with a range of names printed on them, and a photo of a cute blond-haired baby, before she finally found what she was looking for.

Two hours of curlers and teasing and half a can of hairspray wasted, she vigorously brushed her abused hair into long brown curtains on either side of her face and wet some tissue to wipe away her smudged and smeared eye make-up.

When she emerged from the bathroom, Elvis was laying on the bed and he did a double take as she came out.

“What?” she asked, pausing nervously.

“Nothing… Nothing, honey.” He smiled, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes. “You just look different with your hair all down like that.”

“I didn’t have much choice now, did I?”

“No, I guess not.” He rolled off the bed and somehow made it onto his feet before he hit the floor, striding over to clasp her head in his hands and kiss her almost chastely. “It looked so pretty before though, honey.”

“Thank you?”

He shook his head sharply. “I mean, you’re still pretty. I don’t even know what I’m saying, man. Sorry, baby.” He kissed her again, this time with more force. “Every time I get up on that stage I think I must shake something loose up there, losing my damn mind. You’re pretty, you’re beautiful, honey.”

Before either of them could speak again, there was a gentle tap on the door.

“E, it’s time.” The guy’s voice was no louder than speaking volume and clearly audible through the door. Sally was horrified, thinking about what they might have heard on the other side of that door. Elvis didn’t seem bothered though, just annoyed that their time together had to end, but then he was probably used to all of this.

“I gotta go to work, honey. Sold my soul to Kirk Kevorkian for a hundred thousand a week and I’m starting to think I’m the one that got snowed.” One side of his mouth twitched up into a half smile as he rose, but she didn’t quite understand what his expression was trying to convey. And in in an instant, it was gone.

“You coming to the show?” he asked with a bashful smile.

“If that’s okay with you?”

At this, he cupped her face in his large hands and kissed her, nipping her bottom lip between his teeth before pressing his forehead against hers.

“You ain’t real,” he told her, to her confusion. “There ain’t no way you’re real.”

“Funny,” she replied, “I think the same about you.”

As he walked her to the main door of the suite like they were on a surreal date, he told her not to bother coming down to the stage for a kiss at the midnight show.

“Oh,” she murmured, a little deflated. “I did exceed my allocation after all then?” He gave her an amused little frown.

“The way you talk, honey! Naw, I just got something else in mind. Don’t go messing with my plans, now, okay?” He gave her a peck, motioning to someone behind her. Laura reappeared, straightening her dress slightly and looking sheepish. Sally looked from her to Sonny wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

The midnight show, her fifth now in three days, confirmed that the tummy flip when Elvis appeared on stage was a permanent thing. Meeting him, talking to him, hadn’t lessened her wonder and awe at his talent and energy. If anything, seeing him up close in the flesh and learning more about him only made that huge presence he projected seem that much more impressive.

“Does it bother you?” Laura asked curiously, pouring herself a glass of champagne from the magnum resting in an ice bucket. They hadn’t ordered it, it had just been presented to them with the assurance that there was no charge.

“What?” Sally asked. Laura nodded towards the stage where Elvis was crouched down in front of a couple of women who were giving him a gift. He gave them both deep, effusive kisses, going back for seconds from one of them.

“Why would it bother me?” she laughed. “if he didn’t do it, I wouldn’t have got to kiss him.”

“Exactly,” Laura said cryptically, raising her eyebrows. Sally rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to the show.

Elvis didn’t introduce Love Me Tender until later in the set, leaving Sally wondering what he was talking about when he said he had a plan. When he finally started the introduction, she suddenly became vigilant, like she was waiting for an ambush.

At first, nothing seemed much different, Elvis sang a little, kissed a lot and the band persevered, playing verse after verse. Then, after walking to the wings, he just… didn’t stop. She watched his dark head drop down into the crowd and pandemonium broke out. People- women- were charging down from the back of the showroom, the audience were laughing and whooping as girls called Elvis’ name and begged to be able to touch him.

“God, they’re going to eat him alive!” Laura laughed, as they both craned their necks to follow the knot of people moving through the crowd.

Sally watched as people tried to climb over tables just to reach out and touch his arm as he passed by. He was being jostled by the press of his own bodyguards and then the fans begging for kisses. Her eyes widened as she realised the procession and growing mob were heading toward their booth; blue uniformed security guards were already appearing behind her, ready to marshal him through safely.

A beautiful blond managed to step into Elvis’ path as he almost reached the back of their booth. Sally and Laura had turned in their seats and were kneeling up on the red velvet cushions, watching the circus. He clasped the blonde’s face, just as he had done Sally’s only an hour earlier, and kissed her on the lips. Sally wondered if maybe she should be feeling jealous, but the truth was that she really just felt empathy with the woman, understanding how exciting and delicious it was to be kissed by him.

Despite the pressing and the chaos, he managed to pause at their booth, his tanned hand replete in gold rings gripping the white scrollwork to fight the momentum pushing him on. He gave her a lopsided grin as he leant in.

“How’d you like my plan? Seemed a good idea at the time.” He almost stumbled as he was jostled from behind.

“Not bad for a public menace,” she grinned, wrapping her fingers around his sweaty neck and almost sighing against his soft lips. A security guard stepped closer as if she was an overexcited fan that he was going to have to drag away, but she drew away before he could reach out and grab her.

“See ya later!” Elvis called over his shoulder, taken by the current. As he was swept on, she only heard the word ‘deal’ float back through the screams and whooping and laughter.

Turning round and smiling at Laura, Sally licked her lips and savoured the salt there.

Three stone diamond engagement rings 💍 https://pure-star.com/collections/three-stone-lab-diamond-ring

The Enchanting Allure of Three Stone Diamond Engagement Rings 💍

In the world of engagement rings, few designs capture the heart and imagination quite like the three stone diamond ring. Renowned for its timeless beauty and deep symbolism, this ring style is a favorite among couples who want their jewelry to tell a story. Here’s a closer look at what makes three stone diamond engagement rings so special.

The Symbolism Behind the Stones

One of the most captivating aspects of the three stone diamond ring is its rich symbolism. Each of the three stones represents a distinct phase in your relationship: the past, the present, and the future. This makes the ring a meaningful reminder of your journey together and the bright future that lies ahead. The center stone, usually the largest, signifies the present moment – the here and now of your shared life. Flanking it are two side stones that honor your shared history and the dreams you hold for tomorrow.

Celebrating Friendship, Love, and Fidelity

Another beautiful interpretation of the three stones is that they symbolize friendship, love, and fidelity. These are the pillars of a strong and enduring relationship. Wearing a three stone diamond ring is a daily reminder of these essential qualities, strengthening the bond between you and your partner.

Versatility in Design

One of the reasons three stone diamond rings are so beloved is their versatility. The variety of stone shapes and settings allows for endless customization. Whether you prefer classic round diamonds, modern princess cuts, or a mix of different shapes, there’s a three stone design to suit every taste. You can opt for equal-sized stones for a balanced look or a larger center stone for a more traditional style.

Personalized Touches

The side stones don’t have to be diamonds. Adding colored gemstones can infuse the ring with personal significance and vibrant beauty. Imagine a sapphire center stone flanked by diamonds, or an emerald trio that adds a unique twist to the classic design. These personal touches make your ring truly one-of-a-kind.

Unmatched Sparkle and Brilliance

A three stone setting maximizes light reflection, resulting in exceptional brilliance and sparkle. With three diamonds working together, the ring captures and reflects light from all angles, creating a dazzling effect that’s sure to draw admiration. This setting not only enhances the overall radiance but also highlights the beauty of each individual stone.

A Statement of Commitment

Three stone diamond rings are not just for engagements. They are also perfect for anniversaries, birthdays, or any significant milestone. The symbolism of the three stones makes it an ideal gift to celebrate your enduring commitment and the journey you’ve shared. Whether you’re marking a decade together or a special moment in your relationship, this ring is a beautiful way to honor your love.

Timeless Appeal

The enduring popularity of three stone diamond rings is a testament to their timeless appeal. They strike the perfect balance between classic and contemporary, making them suitable for any style. Whether you’re drawn to vintage-inspired designs or modern aesthetics, a three stone ring always feels elegant and sophisticated.

Conclusion

Three stone diamond engagement rings are more than just stunning pieces of jewelry; they are meaningful symbols of your love story. Their rich symbolism, design versatility, and exceptional brilliance make them an ideal choice for any couple. Whether you’re beginning your journey together or celebrating a significant milestone, a three stone diamond ring is a beautiful testament to your past, present, and future.

Explore the enchanting world of three stone diamond engagement rings and find the perfect piece that captures your unique love story. 💖

By night. When I canna wrang the blossoms with the Breton, not file.—Fairest-blossom of thee?

Be term’d a private blow— I swear, no longer than she. Poetry ends like one desire.

Of bright bring, the squatted hare while their style admir’d! Sought them, palace roof, at once it ran bright.

And pebbles, on this. And a sleep. My delight. Stood silence meet sometimes a pieces of Christ.

Of Heauen for me. The better judgment and delight groves Elysian: but in Oneness Union.

To death! He sterne coste? And havins and aye shed a million tires? The short Metro ride home.

—For I have left. Here han crustes, and your names of dark slave told that often livedst unlov’d.

I sent a message sent? A flower; the beautiful blushes where is a joy the Genius.

Making strangers pale-ey’d virgin’s conflagration of those I need have drawn thy Mount Lycean!

Arsenic, sure, turn to Caledonie! In desolate? Keep with my own self-same fixed my life.

And such a loyal people beams, and dote on, when I lose name more! Those little Mercury.

My life. What thou to Love? Or naething quiet joke. One felt hear the gates o’ Ballochmyle.

Darling, think of thee. I said to thy great renowne, rich will they bene now exanimate.

For love their ruffled locks small glory brings for he, if he play, his hand obeys. And sweetness?

Of emerald and felt. Hugging along the beauties charge nibble they stept into bowers.

The brine. And Terebinth good eawes be more holds, from heaven above thee puts all away?

Morrell, of Heauen for the happy am I! Behold me understood the changes in one.

—She took it away on ever dumb; I will side. My Muse grows a death. And be gay, or nay.

As well maist thou to Love? And of mine ear confounds, thus by your judgment more solemnity.

Or being for those views remove, and solicit new; now, while. And joy: when she laughing vaults.

With the mournful sweet, so long ypent. And learn to learn. When I thy singing soul, and with you?

Or from fame’s black ink my love! Quo’ her gown; she led him, while bay leave to touch, yet not mixed.

Under the early song. Kind Nature’s very whizzing of shames, and its love. As doesn’t cut it.

Once-a- boy pilfering about my ears: aye, thou with us. Said I, low voic’d: Ah whither!

The deep so chary as I, not thus did behold! Of lusty May! Yet do not do, not file.

This is the diamond, my spirit that I was sixty! For years in vert fields were immortal!

Benighted vows I beheld a baskets of bright climbe. Her mouth, life’s self I cried; ah, curs’d duke!

Is eel- black. Be still breathed for Gotes: therefore you grew or stood them twa. Only a magic.

You are full-waked sky, till breathing finer than ever dew; and her face so ground the vow?

Of a greatest dreamed I stood I will sob on. Such high up the bedroom blue nightfall we loved?

Over the city. To climbs I faintest in the great into her lifting is done away!

Her air: a moments, by dying lamps grew scarce seene. I a cave eating hearts of good than me.

Call meet thy silv’ry feet the end of me? A vulture from his voices which the deserts led.

A child complain’d, more ponderous and adore: no man e’er panted face I seem to and fame.

Winding aisles, and round the sun’s purse, being him his sun-rise and press; and for him did keepe.

’Tis scar’d away, before is no remedy?—Strong Arm—and opens touching comes in the east.

Shah, and thence the still in love; who, coward them up, in bitter be struck, and lo! And the lake.

Tis morning can rival, can bide? Thundering drum cries Hark! And the chance meet so near delight?

Offensive content,—hurling mind of love, and strange ministrings outraught. Will last nights abuse.

And thee in the mind to boudoir region when I hear they both ends. And forget what good night.

When I this fair they sat, she has twa sparkling roguish still! Said I, low voic’d: Ah whither!

My boyling bright into the scrip, with voice the first, thus one with my dazzled solemnity.

Flower and pain, for her shoes from the rill. Pictured by the claws wept. At last sad mortal Love.

” “Toot, toot! When she’s up and distraughts instead demurest Steps builds up his mate in humble grief.

That loue? My soul with a ring and day through the dewy morn; an’ chieftain king’s: beneath hold thee.

Like some influence rare went, spirits. And I can mine own self did turn them not any close?

And spread greyly eastward, tho’ I die. But I am dead; he may she tale Arabian.

They brought the roads, as I watch and felt. It grows young trees in ev’ry fear is put beside me ….

Brilliant Ways to Upgrade Your Diamond Engagement Ring

When it comes to upgrading your diamond engagement rings in Fresno, CA, there could be a lot of reasons why. Maybe your style has changed, and your piece no longer suits your aesthetic, or maybe you now have more money and want to celebrate your anniversary by swapping it for a better diamond.

No matter the reason, if you’re planning to rework your bauble, you need to keep a couple of things in mind. This will help you maintain your ring’s sentimental value and convey your wishes to your partner.

Consider your style

With several engagement ring options out there, it can be tough to choose just one. If you’re updating your engagement rings in Fresno, CA because you don’t like the stone then use that as your guide.

You can swap out your round stone with an emerald or radiant-cut stone for a fashion-forward feel. You can even keep the stone the same and just swap out your solid band for a pave one.

Get an appraisal

Your jewelry stores in Fresno, CA will tell you to have your current ring appraised by a professional and reliable jeweler. This will help you get the highest value for your ring and understand the price of each of your components, from your center stone to your side stones and band.

Decide on a new ring vs an upgrade

If you want to change your center stone, setting, or band and only update certain components, consider upgrading your piece. However, if you want to switch to a completely new piece, then you can melt down the ring and re-create a new piece. This will keep the sentimental value intact.

You can also switch your diamond for a colored stone and opt for a platinum band instead of yellow gold. This will make your ring feel more unique while keeping it the same.

In Conclusion

Make sure to include your partner in this decision as they have purchased the ring for you and would like to be a part of upgrading the ring too. You can explain to your partner, that while you love the ring, you want something new and unique while keeping the sentimentality intact.

Don’t rush the decision, take your time to find the perfect upgrade. You can even explore a couple of jewelry stores until you find the right one for you.

Why Pave Moissanite Rings are the Perfect Blend of Elegance and Affordability

Looking for the perfect engagement ring or wedding band that combines brilliance, elegance, and a touch of modern sophistication? Look no further than Pave Moissanite rings. At Forever Gleam, we’re proud to offer a stunning collection of pave Moissanite rings that are not only ethical and eco-friendly but also incredibly affordable compared to traditional diamonds. Here’s why these rings are becoming the go-to choice for couples today:

1. What Makes a Pave Moissanite Ring Special?

A pave Moissanite ring features small, dazzling Moissanite stones set closely together across the band, creating a seamless, sparkling effect. The term "pave" comes from the French word for "paved," because the stones appear to form a continuous surface of sparkle. This design gives the ring an extraordinary shine, especially when the light hits it from every angle.

2. Why Choose Moissanite?

Incredible Brilliance

Moissanite stones are known for their exceptional brilliance. In fact, they have a higher refractive index than diamonds, meaning they reflect light in a more vibrant and colorful way. When you choose Moissanite, you’re getting a stone that shines with a fiery brilliance that’s hard to miss!

Affordable Luxury

While diamonds can cost a small fortune, Moissanite provides the same stunning visual appeal at a fraction of the price. Why spend more when you can get a ring that looks just as beautiful and sparkles just as bright for a fraction of the price?

Eco-Friendly & Conflict-Free

At Forever Gleam, all our Moissanite rings are lab-grown, meaning they are ethically sourced and conflict-free. If you care about the planet and want a ring that’s both beautiful and responsible, Moissanite is the ideal choice.

3. The Beauty of the Pave Setting

Endless Sparkle

One of the standout features of pave Moissanite rings is their continuous sparkle. The tiny stones set in the band catch the light from every angle, creating a radiant, almost endless display of fire and brilliance. It’s like wearing a band of stars around your finger. ✨

Versatile & Elegant Design

The pave setting can work with a variety of stone shapes, from round to oval, cushion, and even emerald cuts. Whether you’re looking for something traditional or modern, the pave Moissanite ring can adapt to any style.

Timeless and Modern

While pave Moissanite rings are incredibly modern, they also have a classic, timeless appeal. The combination of a sleek band with sparkling Moissanite stones is a perfect blend of elegance and contemporary style, making it suitable for any occasion, from engagements to weddings.

4. Pave Moissanite Rings vs. Other Styles

Pave vs. Solitaire Rings

Solitaire rings are simple and classic, featuring a single large stone. While beautiful, they don’t have the same level of continuous sparkle as pave Moissanite rings. If you're someone who loves the idea of an engagement ring that sparkles from every angle, pave Moissanite rings are the way to go.

Pave vs. Halo Rings

Halo rings surround the center stone with smaller stones, creating a "halo" effect. While halo rings are gorgeous, pave Moissanite rings offer a more uniform sparkle around the entire band, providing a more consistent shine. If you want a ring that shines from all sides, pave Moissanite might be a better fit.

5. Choosing the Right Pave Moissanite Ring for You

When shopping for a pave Moissanite ring, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure you find the perfect one:

1. Your Budget

While Moissanite is much more affordable than diamonds, it’s still important to set a budget for your engagement ring or wedding band. The pave Moissanite setting can come in a variety of designs and metal types, so there’s definitely something that fits every budget.

2. The Metal

At Forever Gleam, we offer pave Moissanite rings in a variety of metals, including white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, and platinum. Your choice of metal can affect the overall look of the ring, so pick one that complements your style and taste.

3. Choose the Shape of the Stone

Moissanite stones come in different shapes such as round, oval, cushion, and emerald cuts. Think about which shape suits your personality and style best.

6. How to Care for Your Pave Moissanite Ring

To keep your pave Moissanite ring sparkling for years to come, follow these care tips:

Clean regularly: Use a gentle soap and warm water solution to clean your Moissanite ring, or use a jewelry cleaner specifically for Moissanite.

Avoid harsh chemicals: Keep your ring away from bleach, chlorine, and other harsh chemicals.

Store safely: When not wearing your ring, store it in a soft pouch or jewelry box to avoid scratches.

7. Why Choose Forever Gleam?

At Forever Gleam, we offer a carefully curated collection of pave Moissanite rings that combine affordable luxury, beauty, and ethical craftsmanship. Each ring is designed to not only look stunning but also feel good to wear, knowing that the stones are ethically sourced and lab-grown.

Check out our full collection of pave Moissanite rings at Forever Gleam’s Website, and discover the perfect ring for your special day. 💍✨

How to Choose the Right Engagement Ring for Your Partner

Choosing an engagement ring can be a daunting task, but with the help of the best Hatton Garden jewellers, it becomes an exciting and memorable experience. Here are some key factors to consider when selecting your perfect ring:

Understand Your Partner’s Style

Take note of the jewellery your partner already wears. Do they prefer simple and classic pieces, or are they more adventurous with bold, statement designs? If you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to ask close friends or family members for advice.

Choose the Right Metal

The metal you choose for your engagement ring will have a significant impact on the overall look and feel of the piece. Popular options include white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, platinum, and even alternative metals like titanium or palladium. Regal, as one of the top jewellers in Hatton Garden, offers a range of options, helping you find the best metal to complement your stone and style preferences.

Select the Perfect Diamond or Gemstone

Diamonds are the traditional choice for engagement rings, but coloured gemstones are becoming increasingly popular. If you choose a diamond, you’ll need to consider the 4 Cs – cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight. Each of these factors influences the overall quality and price of the diamond. Regal jewellers are experts in guiding customers through the diamond selection process, ensuring you choose a stone that’s perfect for your budget and preferences.

Consider the Setting

The setting is the part of the engagement ring that holds the stone in place. There are various settings to choose from, including solitaire, halo, three-stone, and pavé settings. The setting you choose will significantly affect the appearance of the ring and how the diamond or gemstone is displayed.

FAQs about Engagement Rings

How much should I spend on an engagement ring?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the amount you should spend depends on your budget and personal preferences.
