Reece

~~

It had felt like I had barely spent any time with my wife since we had gotten here. She had been very busy with her great great great great aunt and great great great grandfather, that was a lot of greatness in one family. See what I did there, I made a joke about her family. Yeah, Noah didn't think it was funny either.

Still, we had been doing our best to be part of the festivities, and we had met quite a few very nice people in the process. We had further gotten to know Breon through Juliet. We had learned that Roisin wasn't much appreciated by most of the Fae, but the Queen loved her.

We had met and had a good time with Acacia's family and Star's family, some of them even became friends as well. We had met some of the royal guards and learned some new ways of fighting from them. It had been a very fruitful trip for us, except for Trinity who was working constantly.

Tonight though, there was the ball. I was going on a date with my wife. Mom and Samuel were going to skip the ball and hang out with Acacia's and Star's families. They were all going to take care of the babies, all eight of them. I wasn't worried that they could manage it, there were enough of them plus Lotus and Ash knew how to take care of multiples. No, I was just glad that some of us were finally going to get to spend some time with their mate. I mean, I don't want to sound clingy or anything, but I missed her.

I dressed away from her so that I didn't ruin the surprise of what she was wearing. I wore the new dark green suit that she had gotten me for Christmas and paired it with mostly black accents. The resulting look was actually quite stylish. My hair was in place, the suit was perfect and I was good to go when I smelled my mate coming down that stairs.

When I turned, I was entranced by what I saw. Trinity was walking toward me with a very s.e.xy formal dress. It was a dark forest green that almost perfectly matched my suit, but it was made of what looked like silk chiffon and the sheerness of the fabric lightened it up a bit. The top of the dress, or bodice, was pleated and went over only her left shoulder. As the fabric got to the shoulder though it started to thin out and twist, almost like it was braided. I couldn't see the back of the dress yet, but I just knew from what I saw that it was going to be interesting.

The skirt of the dress was floor length, going all the way down despite the black heels that my s.e.xy little mate was wearing. The A-line skirt also had a slit up each side so I could see flashes of those gorgeous legs every time that Trinity took a step.

When she got right in front of me she spun in a slow circle, and I finally saw the back of the dress. Those twisted and braided looking pieces went over the shoulder and formed the back of the dress. They connected at different places where they partially wrapped back around to the bodice. The dress showed so much of her marks that were usually hidden from people, the humans at least because they would not understand them.

"So what do you think?" She smiled at me when she looked up at me.

"I think that if we stay here much longer we will just be going to the bedroom." I smirked at her.

"Perv." She rolled her eyes at me, and we both laughed. She knew what I was and loved it, I didn't care if she called me out on it.

"You look lovely. Eve cooed when she saw the dress.

"I love it." Emmalee squealed.

"Yup, Trinity is the new fas.h.i.+on queen."

"Oh hush." She blushed at their words, and I could see the red stain all the way down to the top of her right breast that was just barely hidden by the dress. It really was a s.e.xy gown, and I couldn't wait to get it off of her.

We all left and went to the ball after that. The guards were all going as well, though Shawn and Dietrich were pretending to be guests at the ball and would be able to see more than just the bodyguards that stood out too much.

Valerian and Gloriana were at the ball as well, as we knew they would be. Aside from them though, there were a lot less people than I expected there to be. This event was much smaller than the others that we had been to so far.

There were maybe a hundred people here and that was pus.h.i.+ng it. I had a feeling that a lot of people used the ball as an excuse to schmooze with the Queen and so it was only attended by the high ranked Fae. I wonder what rank Trinity and her family would have. Trinity would probably rank high, but I don't know about the others.

I didn't let that bother me at all. I was here to dance with my wife, and that was just what I was going to do.

I led her out onto the dance floor, and we both put our formal dance lessons to good use. I spun her around the floor, a move that made her long, slit skirt to twirl out around her. I could tell that several men in the room had their eyes on her. That p.i.s.sed me off, but it also made me feel good. She was mine, and they couldn't touch her.

Or so I thought.

As soon as the song ended, a man tapped my mate's shoulder and began to speak.

"Queen Trinity, might I have the next dance." I saw a line of men behind him that were going to ask if he was turned down. I was about to shut him up with a firm now when my Little Bunny pulled me toward her.

"I do not want to start a feud right now. I will dance with a few and you can dance with a few of those women eyeballing you. After that we will tell them we are done dancing with the other guests and choose to be with each other."
