“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, Joaquin, 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, Joaquin 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, Joaquin 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.

Riviana

I swear Joaquin was a little frantic as he led me from the ballroom to the elevator at the base of our tower. It was late, and I knew that the twins were already in bed. There was no need for us to stop by their room to say goodnight. The rest of the night was just for us. That was why Joaquin took me straight up to our room.
“Riviana.” Joaquin whispered my name as soon as we were off of the elevator. His nose was buried in the curve of my neck.
“Joaquin?” I breathed his name as I felt the fire that was already burning low inside of me burst and turn into an inferno. I felt the heat, the desire, the passion for him start to take over me..
“We’re alone again. Finally.” His words purred into my ear. “I have been dying to get you alone all day.” I laughed, I couldn’t help it.
“Even after last night? You truly are insatiable.” I giggled at him as I spoke.
“Like you didn’t have plans for this morning if it hadn’t been too late.”
“That is true.” I turned in his arms and wrapped my arms around his neck. “I’ve been dreaming about what we could do together all day. It is my birthday after all, aren’t I allowed to do as I please.” I smirked at him before pressing a small kiss against his lips.
“It’s only your birthday for another ten minutes, so we need to get the show on the road, or we will miss our opportunity.” I rolled my eyes at his words, they were too funny.
“I am the Queen, I can just decree that it was still my birthday.”
“Hmm, that sounds good to me.” I saw him smirk. Clearly he liked the idea more than he was saying.
I wanted to do a little more this time than I have been. Joaquin was usually the one to take control, and it had been a while since I was the one in charge of the situation. And not to mention that Joaquin tended to like it when I took charge as well.
“Come here.” I grabbed a hold of his tie and pulled him toward the bed.
“Oooh, this seems like it will be an interesting night.” He was already excited, and it was only just getting started.
“I’m hoping for it to be interesting.” I smiled at him as I reached the edge of the mattress.
“What do you have in mind for me this evening, my love?”
“I want to be in charge.” I could hear the sultry, husky tones in my voice.
“Then what should I do for you, my Queen?”
“For starters, strip for me.”
I loved to watch him strip. The way that his body moved when he took those clothes off for me. I was going to enjoy this, but it wasn’t quite the right mood yet.
