Disclaimer: I do not own the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. I greatly enjoy his writings and I like to muse about what might have befallen the characters he created. The characters not created by Tolkien are mine. I wrote this for personal pleasure only and not for personal gain. It is intended as a tribute to JRRT.
Pillow Talk
Her back supported by the headboard of their bed, Ethelberg put her arms around him, pulling him against her. Elfgar yielded and rested his head against her breasts. She caressed him, one hand stroking his hair, the other fondling his jaw and cheek, knowing he was completely at peace now. To her own surprise she spoke, 'You are the most generous man I ever met.'
He raised his head and looked at her lovingly. 'My mother would say that you are mistaken, because that man is called Éomer.'
After softly kissing his lips she answered, 'Believe me, Lothíriel is wrong.'
Situated in the year 46 F.A. (3066 T.A.), the year before the birth of their son Ethelgar.
