She peeled back the layers, letting them fall carelessly around her feet.
He watched from the doorway, casually leaning against the frame, feigning calm. It was, of course, a facade as his anticipation and excitement grew with each new item that settled to the floor. Patience, he urged his pounding heart and aching flesh.
With a wink and a coy smile, she finished her preparation and slipped from his view. The cool wrappings soothed her burning skin as she nestled beneath them. Her own heart drowned out the sound of his soft steps across the room. Her eyes were wide open.
He joined her under the sheets, wrapped up together away from everything else.
They shared a sweet, passionate, kiss as their legs wound together, and then he dipped his head to the side to press his lips to her temple. She trembled, as she always had since he’d first discovered that spot. He moved on, finding the other places that made her shiver and gasp and then their bodies became one.

Definitely something different for me, and perhaps that’s going to be true for a lot of this week’s responses to the Triextra:
“As you may or may not know, November 15 is National Erotica Day. Trifecta is not an erotica-specific type of place, but we never shy away from a chance to stretch our creative limbs, and we hope you’ll join us as we dive in to celebrate this quirky day. We are asking for an open write this week–33 to 333 words of erotic writing. No specific words need to be used, and we aren’t necessarily banning any either. If you want to see what our writers came up with last year, click on over and check them out. This year we are imposing one additional limitation: we are not accepting any entries that deal with sexual violence. We want this to be a celebration of sensuality. Posts that contain graphic violence will be immediately deleted from our collection.”So, how did I do? I was trying to set the mood without really being to explicit. As this is a family friendly blog, didn’t want to change my rating by being overly graphic. I’m not sure I could write like that anyway.
The Matticus Kingdom 
the place where sweetness and sex meet, at her temple, is such a perfect place to start.
Almost as if you promise to care of her and then “take care of her” in so many words. That is sensual.
Sensual is good word, that’s definitely what I was going for. 🙂
OK, not to ruin the moment, but your post on my page is under the “Weekly Challenge” post with a pic of a very “layered” head of lettuce.
Very Georgia O’Keefe-style placement, if you ask me. And feel free to erase this comment.
That’s hilarious!!
I wonder how many other people it is showing up that way for.
I started the post trying to just allude to everything, and have the reader guess what I was actually talking about. In my head, as I was writing it, she was peeling back the layers of an onion, rather than clothes. A head of lettuce is just as good. 😛
I am such a teenager sometimes. I took a screen picture of it LOL.
Good idea to start with a more innocent picture and build the sensuality into that 🙂
Hahaha, I want to see the screenshot!!
(djmatticus at yahoo dot com)
What’s wrong with being a teenager from time to time?
😉
Nothing…except when you are trying to raise one.
Don’t they basically raise themselves by the time they are that old?
They sleep until noon and make their own sandwiches or ramen noodles. So, yeah. Close enough.
Nice!
That sort of sounds like my weekends now…
I liked this a lot, it was very sensual yet very tastefully done.
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it.
Often, I find something being more gentle and less explicit much more enjoyable to read. I like what you’ve done here a lot.
😀 Thanks!
Just like NoyAPunkRocker your post came in right before the Weekly Photo Challenge.
Perhaps the world is telling me I need to have some lettuce today.
It has been awhile since I’ve had a salad… apparently those leafy greens are good for me.
That is the rumor. Sorry about misspelling NotAPunkRocker on the first comment. Kinda hard to type when a cat is on one arm.
I understand. I also understand that when a cat finds its way to that spot, you don’t want to move it for anything as trivial as spelling. 😉
Last night I had a cat curled up in my lap, and the Little Prince screaming for attention upstairs… I, um, didn’t move very fast. (In my defense, the Queen was already upstairs with the kiddo so it wasn’t anything that needed my immediate attention.)
Oh wow, that really was a no win situation. The Queen, The Little Prince, and a furry Goddess all demanding attention at the same time. I wouldn’t want to be in that situation 😉
Luckily it was just one of the two furry goddesses that rule our roost. Otherwise I would have really been in trouble.
Nice!
Thank you.
Good to get out of your comfort zone… And you did it so quickly.
I’m adaptable. And, I’m always fast… when it comes to writing… 😛
Ooooo, I almost didn’t use those words because I didn’t want to confuse your manhood… 😉
Hahaha
manhood
is that like robin hood
or a hoodlum hidden in his hoodie
or ?
Hmmmm…,you’re a writer, use your imagination unless that challenges your “manhood”….
seriously? seriously!!?? You’ve got me laughing out loud over here. So, thanks for that.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go blow something up… you know, because, I am man, hear me roar… while I make something disappear in a fiery explosion.
Oh you have me in the same position! Cheers…or shall I say “look out!”
Oh, no need to say “look out.” I always practice safe… explosions.
Oh my…
Hahaha….I’m dying over here…safety first of course!!
That’s how we roll here in the kingdom.
This is going to be an AMAZING weekend… Ahhhh, I love to read and to comment!!
😀
Happy reading and commenting.
Thanks…I will….me and my womanhood!!!
Does that involve explosions too?
I feel like it should… if done properly.
Read my TrifeXXXtra offering and then answer that question…
Hoodie Ninjas and leafy greens…Matticus is indeed a Trifexxxtra king!
Hahahahaha
“It’s good to be the King.”
😉
True Story:)
Hahaha, we’ll never know.
…and that’s part of the fun! 🙂
The restraint and love is what makes this special. Well done.
Thank you.
Is it hot in here, I need to open a window…
Careful, it’s cold out there.
It is, feels warm to me even at minus 1000
minus 1,000?
Wow, that’s cold. But, really, once it’s that cold I’m sure there isn’t much difference between that and say minus 500, right?
right!
This is great DJM, loved it !
Thank you! 🙂
This is so lovely! I particularly love the last paragraph. 🙂
😀 Thank you.
Wow, a DPChallenge AND Trifexxxtra. Nice.
Didn’t the DPChallenge need to be a picture? 😉
I’m thinking any picture I put up to go with this story would definitely remove my “for all audiences” rating.
Oh I don’t know… Layers of blankets?
Hah! Why not. Layers of cake… ? Yum!
Very sexy piece of writing!
Thanks!
I thought this was excellently done! I was going to write something about it, but the comments had me laughing, haha! 😀 I got the lettuce pic with the piece, too. 🙂
So funny.
What can I say. I have impeccable timing. 😉
Made me tremble, but not like that, oh talented one.
😉
i like this sensuality paired with sweetness 🙂
Thanks!
Oooooo this is really nice! I love it.
Thanks!
Beautiful. I love the pace and the tender but hot sensuality. And I loved this line: wrapped up together away from everything else
😀
I liked that line too. thanks for reading and commenting.
Oh my goodness! A little naughtiness in the Kingdom. 🙂
Really nice … sensual, erotic, loving.
I was sort of expecting it to twist into some sort of horror tale … like she suddenly turned into an alien, or blew up, or something… 🙂
Hah, I guess a lot of my stories do end up with some sort of twist, don’t they? Well. I guess I’ll have to work on mixing it up more then. 😛
Glad you liked this. I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out or be received… definitely not like anything I normally write.
Woah…watch out in the kingdom tonight! 🙂
Hahaha
I thought that was in the jungle?
There are kingdoms in jungles…right?
Animal or otherwise. I think you are on to something there. 😉
This is simply beautiful-loved the romance in here-a feeling of deep loving-an enriching read DJ:-)
Thank you. I’m very glad you enjoyed it.
🙂
I see your avatar all over the place, thanks for the follow!
I get around…
I’m not sure what that says about me…? 😉
Since I see you on “all the best blogs” I think it says you have discerning taste! 😉
Hah! And since you are seeing me there, you must have discerning taste too.
We must be missing each other when we secretly visit all the worst blogs. 😛
Perhaps it says that this is your theme tune:
“Thanks” for the ear worm. 😛
