My entry for the Seduce Me Holiday Contest!!

Turtle Doves

Reader X Matthew

Startled, I woke up; the rustling sounds of lunatic boys turning my beloved kitchen into a newly formed landfill. A lazy smile lit up my baby face; only one day until Christmas, my utmost favorite day of the whole entire year! As I slowly dragged my heavy body out of my comfortable bed, the once shut door swung open, the click of a switch brightening up the small room. Matthew, the most childish but also the wisest of the incubi that inhabited my house, stood there with a huge grin on his face.

“Morning,” He sang as he rushed to my side, getting closer as he leaned in a bit more and when his face was just close enough to my shoulder, “Merry Christmas Eve,” he whispered, and from inside his hoodie pocket he produced a small rabbit similar to the one he gave me when we first met, but with a Santa hat on his tiny head. I gazed from him to the rabbit that he held in his large palms, his sea blue eyes that grew worried each second that I let pass with silence.

“Aww, Matthew, its so cute!” I giggled, playfully snatching the small animal from his warm hands. “Y-you really like it? . . .Are you sure?” He questioned, his eyes full of concern that desperately chased mine, trying hard to investigate and to find my answer quicker than I could. “Of course Matthew! How could I not like it? It’s everything I love wrapped in one object!” I assured him, flashing him a smile from ear to ear. His face lit up like the lights on a Christmas tree. We were looking at each other with the same stupid face.

“Really?!? Awesome, I’m glad you like it! Hehe. I’m going to go help with the rest of breakfast! It’ll be done in ten minutes or so, so get some clothes on!” He giggled and looked at me from my messy hair down to my sockless feet. I glanced down to see to my horror that I was wearing a long white tank top and no shorts! I was just wearing panties! I blushed so much that my face turned red. I glared after his retreating form as he quickly shut the door behind him. Speechless I heard the scattering of feet rushing across the floor.

Quickly I ran to my dresser and threw on a pair of grey yoga pants before I ran out my bedroom door and down the hallway. My feet scurried over the cold stone floor, taking overly exaggerated long steps so my feet wouldn’t be frozen. I sprinted down the stairs and almost ran over Sam, who glared the second he saw me.

“What the hell are you doing?” he growled, his eyes challenging me.

“Gettin’ breakfast, something that is very important to have everyday.” I replied, slipping past him and skipping into the dining room to find Matthew setting the table. Blushing slightly I skipped up to him and grabbed the forks out of his hand, then quickly walked around the table laying them out at each place with a white napkin. I could feel his blue eyes following me around the table but his hands continued working. I tried to ignore the stare, but the longer I worked, the hotter his gaze became.

“U-ummm, what are your plans today?” Matthew’s voice stuttered.

“Today? Hmm, I was going go to the store. then finish my Christmas shopping. Why?” I asked as I brought my gaze to meet his. His eyes quickly darted down to the plates in his hand.

“U-Umm. H-Haha, w-well I was going to ask if you wanted help. . .H-help carrying stuff, and p-picking out gifts.” His voice as wobbly as ever. I smiled and walked over to him and without much thought I wrapped my arms around his lean torso. I snuggled against the warmth of his orange hoodie, it was a mini bear hug since I was too short to reach up higher.

“Thats so sweet of you to offer! I would love for you to come help me, I have to pick out some new ornaments for the tree this year, so you might have to help with that.” In a singsong voice after I released him from my hug. I looked up to him, his blue eyes sparkled and shone, his face was pulled into a huge smile.

“Okay! Umm, lets go after breakfast!! Thats fine with you right?” His voice couldn't contain the excitement.

“Haha yeah, I’m going to go get dressed in real clothes, then we can go after breakfast.” I giggled at his excitement, this was going to be a fun day.

  ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

  As soon as breakfast was done we were off, with a wallet full of cash and a card, we got into a taxi and rode to the nearest shopping center. Matthew and I went from store to store, buying last minute presents and small knick knacks for decoration. We stopped by a grocery store to pick up food for the Christmas party my parents were making me throw (Ugh, why do they like parties so much! They should plan it themselves next time!). By the time we reached the last shop, a christmas store we were both carrying a bunch of bags.

“Last stop!” I chimed as we walked into the store.

“What are we buying here? I thought we got most of our decorations already.” Matthew whined.

“Well, it is a tradition to buy a new ornament for each new member of the household or family, since you boys have been with me for a while, I think its time to get you your own ornaments.” I spoke as I glanced down the aisle of ornaments. I could feel Matthew’s eyes follow mine to a small scary looking bunny. “This one, is PERFECT for you Matthew!” I giggled and took it off the shelf. He reached for it, grabbing it out of my hand, but his hand lingered on mine, too long for just friends. Maybe it was a mistake, I bet he is just tired and trying to get energy from me. I thought, trying to figure it out. I looked over to Matthew, who was looking at a brain,

“This one is perfect for Damien! Lets get him this one!!” He exclaimed.

“Haha sure, that one is good, but I think this is better,” I pointed to a brain with a santa hat on.

“Thats awesome! Get that one!”

For the next hour we ran around the store trying to find the perfect ornament for each of the boys, each one represented some aspect of their personality, like how we got Sam a dove to represent the sweetness in him. For James we got a blue heart with a pen stabbed through it, it seemed like the pen was a perfect little touch for the ornament. For me, Matthew picked out a gothic heart with a purple rose stuck in the middle because he insisted that I got a new one because I was in a new house as well. To be honest it was beautiful, I would have never picked it myself but I felt like it was a part of me that I haven’t even known myself.

“It represents a new life and a new love,” He stated after I questioned the meaning. “and its beautiful. .  like you. . .”  Panicking a bit I just started awkwardly laughing. His face had a slight blush on it,  barely dusting his face with pink. Did he know that I liked him? And what was this he was saying about me? Was I supposed to hear that last part at all, he said it in such a small voice. I brushed it off, thinking that I misheard him. He could never like me, I was…Well me, insecure and awkward, it would never happen! We checked out and piled our new presents in the back of the taxi, the whole way we sang with the songs on the radio, christmas song or not we sang to it. Once we got home and hid the gifts Matthew asked me if I wanted to go on a walk, I agreed quickly wanting to go see the the park in the snow that had fallen the night before.

  ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

  That evening was chilly, small snowflakes danced across the frozen breeze which left the faint feel of frost on any objects left to fend for themselves in the brisk winter wind. The Christmas lights glowed from each building on the street, and a large glow came from the large tree that sat before me. I sat inside on the couch with Matthew, we were talking over a cheesy christmas love movie. After we went to the park we came home and finished decorating the whole house. Now we were relaxing, and just stareing either at the TV or around at our beautiful work. My eyes scanned the tree, instinctively looking to one particular ornament that hung from a branch about half way up the 7 foot tree. Matthew giggled as he followed my gaze to the ornament, one that we had picked out earlier that day.

“Thank you for today Matthew, I had so much fun.” I turned so that I could see him clearly.

“Umm. . .Well ______, I need to tell you something.” Matthew’s voice shook. Without waiting for anything he leaned down and out his lips on mine. Unlike my kiss with Sam and Erik, this one did not leave me drained. I felt exhilarated, this was like nothing I had ever experienced. He started to pull away, I quickly stopped him by putting my arm around his neck. I started moving my lips against his, deepening the kiss. Finally I pulled away, needing to breathe and wanted to finally hear what Matthew had wanted to say.

“So you were saying?” I giggled, looking at him from under my eyelashes.

“I was going to confess,” he admitted, running a hand through his dark hair, “but I think I already know your answer.” I huge grin lit up his face. I quickly pecked his smiling lips. His grin grew, he tried getting payback for the kiss. I dodged and rolled onto the floor, bringing a pillow from the couch with me. He smirked, then threw a pillow directed at my face. He jumped to the floor and started tickling my sides.

“M-m-mhaha-Matthew!! Hahaha s-stop it!” I gasped. As Matthew continued to tickle me as I rolled on the floor.

“Excuse me, but may I ask what is going on?” James voice made both me and Matthew freeze.

“Umm, well James, I was tickling her so she would laugh, she needed a good laugh. . .” Matthew stated with a smile on his face. Of course James had to walk in, he started lecturing us on how it was dangerous and we could get hurt. My mind wandered to pay back on Matthew. I slowly reached for a pillow and then  “Bam!” I smacked Matthew with it. Matthew quickly pushed me to the floor laughing, He pinned my hands above my head and leaned down,

“Hehe, punishment time, you know I am stronger than you” Matthew’s voice seemed to deepen. I giggle with delight, looking into his blue eyes, completely forgetting that James was in the room. Matthew leaned in and kissed me, the few lights in the room brightened, my head started spinning.

“WHAT’S GOING ON HERE” Sam interrupted. Matthew and I jumped up startled, both of our faces a scarlet color. I looked around to see all the other boys in the room staring at us, not with disappointment but with happiness. James was the first to reply to Sam.

“It seems we have a pair of lovebirds in the house. Hmm, I’m sorry we seemed to interrupt you two but some presents needed to be put under the tree.”

“I-its fine. . “ Matthew said, his face still red. I giggled glancing at Matthew. James chuckled and grabbed Sam and Erik.

“Lets go boys, you might see something gross if we hang around.” He turned his head and winked at us, “Don’t do anything stupid you two. I don’t want another kid idiot running around.” Matthew chucked the pillow next to him at the closing door.

“Gosh, I’m sorry _____. I didn't think they would walk in like that. Although it is a common room.”  I giggled and looked at his mopey face,

He has a really funny video that you can vote for on facebook: here
