My heart is full of love as I dig into all my presents following dinner. There’s so much: chocolate, lingerie, books, tea, fuzzy socks… all the stuff I like. I’m over the moon when I open Colton’s gifts: a beautiful tennis bracelet, another pair of Loubs, and a top-of-the-line Kitchen Aid mixer, bright orange, just the color I wanted. Christian has made me an adorable jewelry box I know I’ll cherish forever. I feel so spoiled. “One single person doesn’t deserve all this,” I tell Colton.
“You do,” he insists. “Just enjoy it.”
I’m still on a high as we play party games. Tonight is Pictionary and charades. I’ve grown to like charades. I’m still always a little nervous when my turn rolls around, but I’ve gotten a lot better at it. I know all the tricks now.
I’m exhausted as the party winds down and we say goodbye to everyone. Christian has crashed in the armchair in the corner, Athos on his lap, and Aramis by his feet. He looks so cozy, I don’t have the heart to move him, but I know we must.
Colton picks him up carefully, slumps him over his shoulder and carries him up the stairs to his room. I nip at his heels, barefoot. I’ve kicked off my heels a long time ago.
We tuck him in, and both kiss him goodnight.
As soon as we find ourselves in our room, Colton wraps his arms around my waist and kisses me. “Did you have a good birthday?”
I smile up at him. “The best.”
He slides a hand up the hem of my dress. “You look absolutely delicious tonight.”
“Well, I suppose it’s hard not to when you’re wearing a dress like this one.”
“Oh, believe me, it’s not the dress.” His hands travel further up. A soft laugh escapes him. “Sexy,” he teases. “I love them Spanx on you.”
Oh, no! I’d completely forgotten about the Spanx. How horrifying.
“But as much as I love them, they need to go.”
“Um… they’re not that easy to take off,” I warn him.
He kisses my shoulder softly as he unzips me. “Well, let’s start with the dress first.”
The champagne dress pools to the floor, and I’m left with nothing on but my white lace bra and my Spanx. It’s not exactly sexy. He smiles widely. And with unexpected force, he jerks my Spanx down, my panties go along for the ride. He rises to meet my gaze again. “What does birthday girl want tonight?”
I smile and turn away. He knows exactly what I like. I bend down on the bed, my ass on full display. He doesn’t waste a second. He strokes me softly, working me up, getting me ready.
Then he fucks me just the way I like it.

I wake up wrapped in his arms. This took some getting used to… Colton Rossi is a cuddler. He’s warm and smells of tequila. I turn to him. “Good morning.”
He smiles. “Good morning, birthday girl.”
I laugh. “It’s not my birthday anymore.”
“Let’s pretend it is.”
I smile wide. “Okay… if you insist.”
“You want to head to the cabin tonight?” he asks. Although Christian and I live here now, we still like to enjoy our cabin occasionally. Colton likes how cozy and rugged it is, and it’s a little getaway for the three of us.
“Sounds great.”
He shoots me another playful smile. “I have another gift for you,” he says, excited.
“Really?”
He reaches into his bedside table, and turns to me. He offers me a small dark velvet box, wrapped in a silky white bow.
More jewelry? “This is too much, Colton.” I protest. “You’ve already given me so much.”
