Isiah: And welcome to Third Round's a Charm. Finally I got another Mateo/Elena story out for you guys.

Tom: Yeah...sure.

Isiah: *looks at Tom* What's up with you?

Tom: Oh nothing. It's that this is the third Mateo/Elena love story and you have yet to continue Before the Wedding.

Isiah: I'm not having this argument with you bro.

Tom: Sure. Whatever you say. Let's just get this story going.

Isiah: Alright. Let's roll.

Third Round's a Charm

Elena's POV

Mateo and I were in the palace backyard getting practice with our magic weapons. I was using my Scepter of Light's Blaze and Mateo was using his tamborita's Solaza. After we were done with their practicing, we decided to head over to my bedroom to take a break.

As we were settling in, Mateo asked, "So how do you think you did Elena?"

I sat on my bed and said, "I'm getting more and more used to the Scepter." Mateo smiled at this and saw two cups and a pot of tea next to my bed. He gladly offered me some and I without a doubt accepted it. Taking the tea and drinking it slowly.

"You know, this is perfect," Mateo said. "Us having some alone time."

"Mhm," I agreed with him.

Mateo chuckled slightly and said, "Too bad it won't be like this in a few days for my 23rd birthday."

I took a moment to think about his response and said, "I think I can make a way to arrange that."

"Really? You can do that?"

"Oh I can," I set my cup of tea on the nightstand and got closer to Mateo. Going over to his ear and whispered seductively, "If you think you're up for round 3."

I gave out a look of shock quickly turning into a smirk. "I thought you'd never ask about round 3."

"Consider it a birthday present from yours truly," I continued to whisper in Mateo's ear. "The night of your birthday, you have me all to yourself all night."

"If I could, I'd have you to myself right now," Mateo whispered back just as seductively. I chuckled at this and kissed Mateo on his cheek making him blush slightly. I let out a louder chuckle and pulled Mateo in for a kiss. Holding him close to me by the sides of his face.

Mateo accepted the kiss and held me close to him by my butt. Caressing and squeezing it gently. He never did this often but I didn't care at the moment. I just wanted to be with him and in reverse. Mateo soon made his hand go down my thigh until he reached the bottom of my sky blue dress. Just as he was going to slide his hand underneath it, I quickly stopped him.

"Ah ah ahh," I waved a finger at him playfully. "No opening your present until your birthday."

"Aww, not even a peek," Mateo pouted playfully.

"Nope. Not even a peek."

"Damn," I chuckled at Mateo's playful pouting. He chuckled with me and I pulled him in for another kiss.

A Few Days Later: The Night of Mateo's Birthday

Mateo's POV

The night of my birthday, me, Elena, her family and friends and many other guests were in the ballroom celebrating my 23rd birthday. My mother and sister Marlena walked me into the ballroom and up to Elena and her Grand Council. They wished me a happy birthday and gave me a special golden crown, putting it on my head.

"I think it fits perfectly," Elena said with a wink. I smiled at her and watched as everyone started singing happy birthday.

When everyone was finished, Elena's grandmother Luisa went over to the food table and brought her homemade birthday cake over to me. Lighting candles all over it. As soon as she was done, I took a quick breath and blew out the candles. Everyone then cheered and clapped for me as Esteban went over to the music side of the ballroom. "Now let us all have the time of our lives on Mateo's special day," he said out loud.

"What song do you have in mind, Esteban," I asked curiously.

"Oh just something I think we can all enjoy together," Esteban answered as he played his music on the radio.

Song: Zion from the Matrix Reloaded

Isiah: This song's gonna play throughout the rest of the story FYI.

The music soon started playing and everyone that was in the ballroom started dancing to it. I joined Elena and our friends and we started dancing ourselves. Judging by what Esteban was playing, he thought we could all dance any way everyone wanted to. Hell, who could blame him for it though?

As I was dancing, I watched as Elena danced around me. The way she swayed those hips and moved herself was so beautiful. Not to mention her beautiful red ball gown she was wearing in front of me and often wears on ball occasions. After a few minutes of watching her dance around me, Elena got close to me and wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling me into a kiss.

We kissed each other for a few quick moments before Elena decided to take my hand and lead me out of the ballroom, going towards her bedroom. I smirked at this and followed her closely until we reached her bedroom. We closed the door and I quickly pinned her against the wall without wasting any time.

"Baby, I want you so badly," I said tucking back a piece of Elena's hair.

"Oh do you," Elena asked with a seductive look.

"Mhm."

Elena leaned over to my right ear and seductively whispered, "Then how about you stop talking and show me how much you want me."

I let out a quiet chuckle as I spoke. "Only if you'll give yourself to me."

"Like I said the other day, the night of your birthday, I'm all yours, all night," Elena said.

"Hmm. As a matter of fact, I do remember you saying that."

"Then what are you waiting for, love," Elena whispered in my ear again.

I let out a smirk as I started to have my way with Elena.

To be continued...

Isiah: This story's gonna get hot and steamy as it progresses on.

Tom: There's no doubt in my mind that's gonna happen.

Isiah: Hey thanks for your support T. Hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter. I don't know what I'm gonna post next. Maybe another chapter of Avalor's Continued Nightmare. Maybe do another chapter of this story. I'll have to think about it and you'll see when it comes out.

Tom: Don't forget to leave a nice review. No hateful or rude comments please. We love you guys for support given from you everyday. See y'all later. Holla at your boys! Yeah!

Isiah: As always, until next time.
