So I've been watching DEM play this game for awhile now and since she's cool and all dat so I decided to play along. It seemed like fun. Here are the Trifecta rules:
Your task this week, should you choose to accept it, is to write a love scene in no fewer than 33 and no more than 333 words.

He felt her without opening his eyes. Her fragrance filled the room and he breathed her scent deeply into his lungs. He liked the way it filled him with her from inside to out. Her sheer robe brushed his cheek as she walked by, but he didn’t dare open his eyes. He could feel her watching him. Her eyes boring into his soul as if she were attempting to read the thoughts that drifted through his inner being. He shifted, feigning sleep. “Would this be the night?”
She’d been coming into his room for the last three weeks. Every night her scent taunted him, but she never allowed him more than a single breath before vanishing. Her scent came stronger, closer. He could feel her breath upon his neck. To be chosen, was all he wanted. He’d done his research carefully before entering the Coven. He knew why she’d cast aside every chosen before him. He made sure not to repeat the same mistakes. It seemed his plan to gain the Queen’s attention was working. He just had to be patient for a little while longer. He nearly opened his eyes when he felt her nails outlining the perfectly curved stomach he had spent months working to achieve. As her nails continued tracing his body, he almost forgot why he was there. He could have taken her then, but that would have been no fun. “Patience, just a little while longer then I’ll be her Chosen, and then I’ll take revenge for the death of my sister.”
Her scent disappeared. He’d passed her test once again. He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling. How could something so bitter smell so innocent? He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep; knowing soon his bed would not be empty but filled with the Queen and her blood.

Oooooh now THAT is awesome!
Intriguing tale. Love the mystery you wove and the use of scent...all those pheromones :)
DEM, seems to be happening a lot lately.
Thanks to the newcomers.
Fantastic creepy story. I love dark queen stories very much. =) Glad you've come to play along! Looking forward to reading more ...
Mysterious and unexpected! I liked it.
That introduction absolutely hooked me. I initially imagined a long committed couple. Loved the twist of him as vengeance alive. I do think he'll get his revenge unless his need to play overcomes the need to act.
