CALIN: After inspecting the necklace
 one more time I place it back in the silk lined velvet box.  The piece 
was bought over from Russia; it’s an antique Victorian Fabergé necklace.
  It’s going to look damn fine around Dolhanna's neck.  It’s got the 
rubies, which is her birthstone and also symbolize power, love and 
contentment.  The  yellow, brown and white diamonds are for love and I 
have plenty of that and then some for my female. It is a timeless 
beauty, just like Lhanna. Grinning as I pick up the satin pouch, this 
piece is the total opposite of the necklace.  It’s a braided leather 
bracelet with a ruby heart.  This she can wear everyday and not worry 
about it getting in her way, even out on patrol.  This symbolizes that 
she has my heart; always.  Some might think it’s a bit sappy, but hell, 
it’s her birthday and I’m supposed to get all mushy and shit with her.  
Then there is the “big” present; I know she is going to flip out.  Just 
as I set the pouch down, she walks into the suite and I greet her with a
 big ass smile... “Hey cumpleaños niña!” <birthday girl>
 LHANNA:  Coming
 through the door, Calin is in the living room and greets me with one of
 those dazzling smiles that I love so much.  “Hey yourself babe, I 
haven’t been able to keep up with you at all today; it’s not like you 
could leave the estate.”  Walking toward him with a knowing grin and 
spying the goodies on the table, I give him a quick kiss and ask, 
“What’s that??”  Pointing toward the coffee table knowing exactly what 
it is.  Jewels and Bear are looking at me as if they are in on the 
surprise.  Pulling me back to him, he asks if I want cake first or my 
presents. Laughing as I look up into his beautiful violet eyes, I smack 
him in the arm and tell him I want the presents since they are right 
under my nose.
CALIN: Smirking
 as she smacks my arm, I fake like I’m hurt.  “Damn Lhanna you really 
have been hitting the weights.”  I rub my arm for good measure.  Knowing
 she wants the presents now, I take her hand and sit us on the couch.  
Taking a deep breath, I reach for the box with the antique necklace in 
it and hand it to her.  Watching as she opens it, she unfolds the silk 
protecting the necklace, her eyes light up and her gasp of pleasure 
fills the room.  She gently rubs her forefinger over the pendant and 
looks up at me with tears in her gorgeous green eyes, smiling.  Looking 
at the necklace and back to me as I explain the history of the Fabergé 
necklace.  “Oh Calin!  I love it!!”  Turning and holding her hair up I 
remove the necklace and place it around her neck.  Turning back to me 
smiling even brighter, she asks how it looks.  “Stunning.”  Reaching up,
 I run my fingers along her cheek, to her jawline, then down to the 
chain.  Desire for her rips through me.  With a sharp whistle to Bear, 
he picks up the pouch and drops in Lhanna’s lap.
LHANNA: Feeling
 his touch; his fingers a gentle caress along my throat, his eyes filled
 with promise of what was to come later, causes me to shiver.  With a 
short whistle, Bear picks up the pouch and puts it in my lap.  
Scratching him behind the ears telling him what a good boy he is and 
winking at Jewels, I turn my attention back to the pouch and open it.  
Reaching in, I pull out the bracelet and smile,  Before I can say 
anything, Calin takes my right hand, kisses my mated rings and then 
slips the bracelet on with the exquisite ruby heart.  What a striking 
contrast with the braided leather.  Looking at me, he begins to explain 
what the bracelet represents... 
CALIN:  “This
 is known as a Pigeon Blood Ruby for it intense red color.  I wanted you
 to have something you could wear on a nightly bases that will always 
let you know you have my heart; for
 as long as you want it.”  Feeling the bond between us, we are solid 
once again. It wasn’t easy to get back to this place. The potion, Death 
Ring; all distant memories.  Watching as she shakes her head, a single 
tear falls down her cheek even though her smile could light up the night
 sky.  “Then I shall where it until I pass and cross over onto the other
 side.”  My female humbles me.  I pull her into my arms, breathing 
deeply of her dark vanilla spicy scent.  Smiling into her hair for what 
I’m about to say.  “Oh, we are going to Paradise Island for a long 
weekend baby.  Wolf’s brother has a place he letting us use; we are safe
 for the daylight hours and I already have a reservation at Cafe 
Martinique.” 
LHANNA: “Then
 I shall where it until I pass and cross over to the other side.  
Feeling Calin’s emotions roll through him our bond is back; stronger 
than ever.  Holding me tight, my head against
 his chest hearing the strong, pounding, steady beat of his heart.  It 
soothes me.  His deep voice then tells me we are going to Paradise 
Island for a long weekend!!!  Pushing him back on the couch, I crawl up 
his body and kiss him deeply; with all the love I have for him.  “Thank 
you baby, I love you, I love you I love!!!”  Kissing his face all over 
in between the I love you’s.  “You are too good to me.”  Sitting up and 
swinging his legs off the side of the couch, he stands causing me to 
wrap my legs around his hips.  Heading down the hall to our bedroom he 
growls in my ear, “I’m going to have MY cake and eat right now.  Happy 
Birthday love.”
