Chapter 467 - Trinity - The Queens Birthday Part 10 (VOLUME 3)

~~

Trinity

~~

I continued the dances after the one with Vincent. Shane came next, and true to his style he made jokes the whole time. Shawn was sweet as always. David was a perfect gentleman, and I was remembering how he was there with me from the beginning as well. I remembered how he had been there to play one of the dwarves during that Halloween party. When we talked about that we laughed with each other and joked about how scared Reece looked when I said that he was judging the costume contest. It was all very sweet and amazing.

Following David, I danced with Dietrich. He was his typical self, sweet and confident.

"You are the Queen that I knew you would be.. I am truly grateful for that incident that brought me here. I know that it wasn't pleasant at the time, but I am glad that Octavious botched his mission and forced me to come here."

"Yeah, I am glad as well." I looked over at Shawn as I spoke. "And I know that other people are happy as well."

"Who would have thought?" Riley laughed when he took my hand to dance with me next.

"What's that?" I asked as I smiled. He was spinning me in circles as we danced.

"That you would have been the new Queen. When we first met, I knew you were special, but to become the Luna Queen? That surprised us all."

"No one was more surprised than I was, that I can say with confidence." We laughed together.

"Still, I am glad that we all got to meet you and be part of this. And thank you for sticking with Reece through it all. He needed you more than you know."

"I know. I needed him too."

After Riley came Landon. He was a cross between Riley and Trevor most of the time. His jokes were balanced with him being serious.

"My Queen." He bowed to me before taking my hand.

"Thank you for this dance." We weren't as close as the others that I had danced with, but we still talked and laughed about different things that had happened. Most of them were funny things that had happened with us and Reece.

Following Landon, I danced with Trevor. I knew it was coming, and I could already feel myself starting to laugh when he took my hand.

"Does seeing me make you that happy, my Queen." He spun me in a circle and then pulled me close to him.

"You know that you always make me laugh, Trevor." I giggled at his words.

"Yes, and I am just waiting for you to realize that I am so much better than Reece. You've got to leave the pup and get with the bear." He purred the words then immediately laughed. It had been a running joke with us all since our wedding day, the first time that I had even met Trevor.

"Yes, I know. You tried to steal me away from Reece on my wedding day, but it was too late. We were already married." I played along with him. "You needed to be a little quicker on the uptake."

"Damn. Running late again. That's what I get for living in the mountains. I'm the last to know about everything." He chuckled. "In all seriousness though, I am glad that Reece has you. And we couldn't be happier with who our Queen is."

"Thank you, Tevor." I smiled at him with a soft expression. "I know that you will find your mate soon. Just hang in there a little longer."

"Thanks Trinity. I hope I do find her soon."

When that song ended, it was time for Reece to come back and dance with me. This was how it was set in advance. After this dance, I would claim to be tired and leave the ball, but the guests were free to stay longer under the watchful eyes of my guards and staff.

"You look like you have been enjoying yourself." Reece pulled me closer than any of the others had, showing his intimate claim to me.

"I have been. Though several people made me want to cry." I answered him with a nod and a smile.

"They were making my wife cry? How dare they?" He smirked knowing that I didn't mean it in a bad way.

"They were being so sentimental with me that I just couldn't stop tearing up. Thankfully, I didn't actually cry. If I did, I think the royal fashion police would have arrested me on the spot."

"Yeah, Ella and Gina can be strict when it comes to appearances. Nikki and Emmalee too. And all of them are here. You would have had the whole force after you. Oh yeah, I'd say it's a good thing that you didn't actually cry." He laughed as he thought about how that scene would have looked. "So, are you ready to call it a night yet?"

"Hmm, I am ready to leave the ball." I gave him a heated look. "I don't know if I am ready to call it a night though. It's still relatively early after all."

"Oh yeah, and what do you want to do?" He grinned at me. "I can think of a few things that I have been dying to do and your birthday sounds like the perfect time for them." He winked at me, and I saw an inferno begin to blaze in his eyes.

Ever since he had gotten blessed with fire magic, the heat in his eyes would actually flicker and move like real flames. The more heated and excited he was, the bigger the flames in his eyes were. He was easier to read now in all honesty.

"Ooh, I can't wait to find out what those ideas of yours really are." I pressed myself against him just a little more, and I felt that he was already starting to react.

"You might want to stop that for now, unless you want to give all your subjects and family a show on your birthday." He laughed. I knew he wouldn't do something like that; he was too possessive over me.

"As exciting as you might think that could be, Fido, I am not into that sort of PDA. That is actually beyond PDA, it falls into the category of pornography." I know he was playing, and I couldn't stop myself from joking back.

"It's not pornography unless it's filmed. It would just be exhibitionalism." He laughed. "I don't ever intend to let someone film you like that. They will never have that image of you. That is just for me."

"Then I guess we will have to wait until we get upstairs." I pretended to be upset about it all. "No exhibitionalism or pornography for us."

"Agreed. I am the only one who can see the sexy faces you make, and no one is allowed to hear the sounds that you make just for me." I shivered from the feel of his words washing over me. That and the heat in his body had made a wave of arousal course through me.

"I've wanted round two since I woke up, Reece, stop trying to turn me on already. I'm already there." I laughed at him. 

"Good." He said just as the song ended. "Then we need to end this party right now." He leaned in to kiss my cheek before stepping away.

Taking my hand and walking a little faster than usual, Reece led me up to the dais that we had sat on when we ate. Once I was standing at the front and looking out at everyone who was still dancing, I started to talk.

"I want to once again thank you all for coming tonight." I called out to them while magically making my voice louder. "I have quite enjoyed my birthday this year, and I want to let you all know how much I appreciate that you have come to celebrate it with me." There was a round of applause for some reason that I didn't quite understand. "All of you are welcome to stay and continue to party for a little while longer. I, on the other hand, will be calling it a night."

With that, Reece started to lead me out of the ballroom through the back door as everyone present bowed to us. I was glad that this was over. I really hadn't wanted a big party like this.
