She had been reading after a hard day of work and had wanted to relax for a while. So grabbing up a book, she went into the livingroom, curling up on the sofa with a blanket over her lap, she settled in to enjoy her stories for a while. Thannor was still working, as it was not yet midday and Lucius was taking a walk around the city, getting accustomed to the place and its environs. He seemed rather skittish still, not wanting to speak or to look people yet in the eye, but he seemed to be a lot more relaxed then when he had first come here. Had it really been three days since that night they all shared together? That memory made her warm as she snuggled into the blanket. They had not done anything sense, as they had all been busy or preoccupied. Thannor with work, she with guard duty, and when she wasn't busy, she was showing Lucius around. He seemed to be settling in nicely, but he still stuck to her side like glue. Not that she minded. She understood what he had been through and was paceint with him. When she had suggested that he go for a walk, alone, he had looked at her with such fear she had almost pulled him into a hug to soothe him. But she knew that sooner or later, he would have to learn his way around here, if he wanted to stay and besides, it would do him good. She had just snuggled back down, getting comfortable when someone came up silently behind her and wrapped her up in a hug as they settled down beside her. She smiled faintly and let her eyes flit from the book to the person she knew she would see there.

"Hello Lucius. Enjoy your walk?" She asked, smiling up at him.

"I did, Wild One." His soft reply came as he nuzzled into her hair, resting his chin lightly upon her shoulder. "Thank you for suggesting that I do so. It IS beautiful here." He turned his head and kissed her shoulder, which made her squirm slighly.

"You do know it is hard to read with you distracting me like that, yes?" She teased, giggling softly. She paused when he froze, and tilted her head back to gaze up at him once more. He looked unsure once again. His steel grey eyes met hers before flickering away as he moved so that he wasn't touching her. She gave a loud sigh and set the book down and went to crawl into his lap once more. "Lucius, I was teasing. I don't mind you touching me, you know that." She gently lifed her hand and caressed his cheek, which he nuzzled into. It made her sad, and angry both that this powerful man had been reduced to this scared, unsure shell. She wished there was something she could do to make that haunted look leave his eyes. To make him see that he was safe here, and that she did care for him, very much! She paused in that thinking and smiled faintly. Thannor would be busy for another few hours, so it was just she and Lucius; and that, gave her an idea. Sliding out of his lap, she entwined their fingers together and gave a light tug of his arm. "Come, come with me." She said softly.

He looked at her, confused and curious. Where did she want to lead him now? He was just content to cuddle with her upon the sofa. "Lucius, come." Her voice held a slight demand in it so he stood and let her lead him. She led him past the Forge, stopping to blow Thannor a kiss as he worked and then headed upstairs towards the livingarea, where he balked a moment. He had only ever been up there once and he was unsure if he should be going up there as that was HER home; but one gentle tug and a soft smile was enough to convince him.

She led him past the sitting room, where they had shared each other together three nights ago. Past the kitchen and small dinning area, back towards the bedroom. Upon reaching the door, she opened it and led him inside, closing the door behind him. She released his hand and went to sit upon the bed, patting the space beside her, asking him to join her. He stood and stared at her a few moments, wondering if he should do as she asked. Fear raced into his being at being here, with her. Was this a joke? What was she planning? So many emotions wafted inside his soul that he wanted to flee, but in the end, he did as she bade him and sat down, casting his eyes to hers once more.

Her smile was bright when he joined her, as for a moment she was sure he would refuse. She saw the fear echoing behind his eyes and she wanted to erase that once and for all. Once he settled beside her, she once more took his hand into hers, lifting the other to caress his cheek once more. He shivered under her touch as he whimpered softly as she touched him, turning to kiss her palm once more. Her heart broke. He was powerful, he was mighty, yet he was scared, he was broken. He was Beautiful.

Slowly, so as not to spook him, she let her hand travel from his cheek down his neck to his chest, watching him for any signs that she should stop. He gasped softly as her hand slid down his chest and when she went to unclasp a button to his shirt his hands caught hers, holding them still as he gazed down at her. A question flickered behind his eyes and he shivered as his hand caressed hers.

"Lucius, trust me." Her words were soft as she pressed her hand lightly against his chest, letting him feel her touch through his shirt. "Trust me..." She whispered softly as she started to undo the buttons at his shirt once more. He held still and let her open his shirt. He was trembling, both in fear and in desire as she leaned forward and pressed her soft lips against his skin, causing him to whimper. What was she doing! She had a mate! And yet, he had let him share her, WHY? He groaned as she kissed down his chest, the path her lips made felt like fire against his skin.

"Rebecca..." He barely whispered, a soft cry in the night it sounded like, causing her to look up at him.

"Trust me Lucius..." She simply whispered back to him as she went to kneel behind him. Taking hold of his shirt, she pulled it off of him and tossed it behind her. She let her eyes feast upon his half naked form and she loved what she saw. He was pale in the sunlight, his hair lay along his back, soft as silk as she ran her fingers lightly through it. She loved the color of his hair. It suited him. She let her hands trail lower down his back, roaming every inch of him, learning every scar, every muscle, every bit of him. She scooted closer to him and pressed a soft, gentle kiss to his shoulder, and delighted in his gasp. she gently moved his hair to the side and settled her chin upon his shoulder, as he often did her and kissed down his neck slowly, nibbling lightly at his ear lobe. He moaned softly, and stiffened slightly against her, tilting his head to the side slightly to give her better access. She loved it as he responded to her attentions. His eyes closed, his mouth open slightly in pleasure, Gods he was gorgeous! How could he not believe that? She pulled back and let him settle once more. She knew she would have to be slow with him, gentle, as he had been through so much and was badly damaged from it; but she would soothe that side of him. She loved him to much to leave him wandering in darkness.

Scooting a bit back from him, she quickly undid the clasps of her tunic, pulled it off her body and cast it to the side before coming back to him once more. She wrapped her arms around him from behind, pressing herself against his back, letting him feel her skin upon his. She felt him stiffen once more as his head tilted back at feeling her bare body against his. He met her eyes as surprise crossed his face. Why was she doing this? Wasn't it enough to just enjoy what they had shared together that one time? Surely she could not want him in that way. Not him, not in any way! No one ever did! He clenched his teeth against the pain that flooded him suddenly. So many empty promises, so many lies. Was this just a trick to see if he would let her? Was he so starved for attention that he would let this beautiful woman defile herself by taking him? He was saddened with the thought and he strove to push her away. She deserved better then him. He was broken, He was nothing, and that is all he would ever be. If years spent in the Dark Lords service, and then a stint in Askaban had taught him anything, it had taught him he was not as powerful as he had thought he was, and that words, whispered softly in the night, words meant nothing! How many times had he been promised release from that horrible prision, only to be thrown into a darker, danker cell? How many times did his family and friends say they would help him, only to leave him to the Dark Lords mercy? And how many times had the Dark Lord promised honor, prestige, and power, only to torture him time and again and leave him this decrepit, scared, and whipped dog that he was now? No, he couldn't allow her to do this. Not with HIM! No matter how badly he craved her, she was to precious to taint herself. He moved away from her, pulling out of her embrace, even though his soul screamed at him not to and turned away from her. He could not face her, his eyes shut tight against the tears that wanted to rain down, against hearing her leave, as he knew she would. They all did.

She saw the look he gave her and felt her heart break yet again and when he pulled away from her she was at a loss as to how to bridge this gap he had suddenly placed between them. She would not let him do this. She was bound to him. She scooted off the bed and walked around till she was standing before him, covering his hands, which had balled into fists with her own.

"Lucius, look at me." She said softly, noting his posture and his closed eyes. He was expecting her to reject him and it was about high time he learned just how she saw him. She knelt down where she had been standing, seeking out his eyes. "Lucius, Look at me. Please." She waited as he seemed to get control over himself and slowly opened his eyes and cast them towards her. Confusion, fear, and something akin to desire reflected in their dark pools. "It's ok, Lucius. We don't have to if you don't wish to. It's really alright." She gave his hands a light squeeze, smiling softly up at him.

"I...I want to...but..." His words were barely a whisper, as a tear fell unbidden from his eye and slid down his cheek.

"But what, Lucius? What is it? Why are you so afraid?" She tilted her head slightly, wanting him to talk to her, to open up.

He seemed to ponder his words, was she really asking him to speak? To tell her what he really thought? She would only laugh and scorn him. That was all he was used to. Being left behind, forgotten, and now that he had spent time with her, he realized he didn't want her to look at him like the rest had. He was afraid to lose again. He licked his broken and dry lips and tried to explain that to her.

"You should not taint yourself...with...me." His voice was tinted with agony and saddness as he looked at her and then away. "I am...unworthy...of one such as you. You are pure, and beautiful, and strong and I...am...not. Not anymore." He clenched her hands in his, lifting one of her hands to his lips and gently kissed it, casting his eyes once more back to her. "I will understand, if you leave. I will not blame you. I am broken, Rebecca. There is no light left in this body or mind. Not anymore."

His words troubled her and made her want to cry. Did he honestly think that about himself? She could tell he meant every word he said and that saddened her, greatly. She reached out with her free hand and tilted his chin up so he was looking back at her, giving him a soft smile.

"Then I will be your light, Lucius." Her reply was honest and open, as she moved to kiss away his tears gently.

"WHY?" He groaned out, not understanding why she didn't leave like all the others. His grip tightened around her hand which he still held as he shuddered where he sat, trembling in fear and need.

"Because, Lucius..." She paused, wondering if she should say just what was in her heart. Deciding he needed to hear the truth. "Because...I love you, Lucius." She said softly as her forehead was pressed against his, trying to comfort him and letting him feel just how much she really did love him.

He paused and his heart took off, both in disbelife and fear. She loved him?! Had he just heard that right? She loved him? HIM? Impossible! No one loved him. No one cared. He was alone and that was how he liked it...didn't he? He was so confused and suddenly angry. Why did she have to come and disrupt everything in his life? Why did he accept Thannors invite? Everything was so messed up in his mind. She loved him? How could she love a broken, frightened wretch such as him? He didn't believe her, and would cast her aside. He would leave...right now! He dropped her hands and growled, looking back at her as anger took him.

"You love me?! Woman you don't even KNOW me!" He raged, as she had expected. "We share one night together and you feel you can say that to me! Never say it again, if you don't mean it! No one ever means it! Love is a LIE!"

She had been expecting an outburst, he was so very lost inside, so she sat there, and let him vent. She knew he had to go through the stages, as long as he didn't leave.

"Love is not a lie, Lucius, even you know that." She said softly, looking up at him from where she sat before him. "I can say it to you, because I know it's true. We have spent more then one night together, not in that way, but we have. I have watched you from afar as well and had feelings for you the second we met." She scooted closer, reaching out to gently cup his face. "I love YOU, Lucius Malfoy, YOU."

He batted her hand away and stood, moving away from her, but he didn't leave. He paced slowly, running his fingers through his long, white hair and sighed. He was at war with himself. He knew he loved her back, he had been watching her from afar for a while now. He had to admit that he desired her. She made him feel things he hadn't felt in such a long time. Had given freely of herself that first time. Why was he so frightened now, when she offered what he desired most? He stopped his pacing and turned back to her, his grey eyes filled with unshed tears.

"Rebecca...I can't...I am NOT good. Why can't you see that?" His voice ripped into her heart. Pain, the linkes she had never felt, or heard, resonated in his voice. "Why won't you just let me be? Why did you have to say that? Why can't we just be together, without love being a factor?" He asked, even though he knew it was not true, for if he were to be really honest with himself, he knew, deep down, he loved her as well and that scared him. "Please...I am not good...I am not worthy...Don't love me..."

Tears slipped down her cheeks, which she quickly wiped away and she sat back on the bed, turning to face him. She held out a hand to him, her eyes beesching his.

"Lucius...please...don't ask me that. For I can't. I love you, Lucius Malfoy. Now, and always." She motioned her hand towards him, praying he took it. "Please..."

Something in her voice made him respond as he slipped his hand into hers without thought. She pulled him down beside her and he stole a glance at her as he lifted a tentive hand to gently, caress her cheek. Being overly gentle, as if he were afriad to touch her.

"Say it again...please?" He whispered, barely able to be heard as he looked into her emerald eyes. He held his breath, waiting. His heart pounding so loudly he was sure she could hear it.

"I love you, Lucius Malfoy." She said softly in return, giving him a small smile. "I love you..."

He broke down then, he couldn't help it. Pulling her into his lap, he buried his face into her neck and sobbed. His arms went around her as if to hold her close to him as he rocked slowly back and forth. His shoulders rocked as sob after sob wracked his frame. Was it true? Did this beautiful woman really love him? How could it be? She was to perfect for words and yet, she loved a run down man, such as himself? Surely he was dreaming. But no, the woman in his arms was real, he could feel her pressed up against him, cuddled in his arms. He could smell her scent, of peppermint and lilacs. He could feel her gently stroking his hair, hear her making soothing noises to him as she held him in return. His heart warmed slightly. She did love him, and he loved her, for loving him, for seeing him and for caring. Oh yes, He loved her. More then life!

His tears slowed and he pulled back to gaze at her with hungry eyes. He moved forward slowly, almost unsure, and claimed her lips in a chaste kiss. Yet when their lips met, fire flooded through his body and his grip tightened around her, his kiss deepened, causing him to gasp at the force that rocked his body as he held her. He kissed across her face and down her neck, almost frantic, as if she will disappear should he let her go. She growled softly at his kiss, feeling the heat and love flare up inside her as well and she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her. At his kisses, she hissed through her teeth and arched against him, causing him to moan softly. She nuzzled him, trying to slow him down. She understood his need, his desire.

"Lucius, Lucius...Love...it's alright." She managed to get out between kisses. "Slow Love...Slow...we have all the time in the world." She kissed his nose and giggled softly, which caused him to smile. A real smile, not one of his tired and worn down smiles. Gods, he was beautiful when he smiled. "See? Slow...I am right here."

He trembled once more in her embrace and buried his face into her neck again. Trying to calm himself. He wanted her! Wanted her so badly it hurt, but she was right. They had all the time in the world and it would be so much sweeter if it was slow, especially for him. He let her go as she crawled around behind him once more, a soft smirk alighted upon his face, his eyes closed as he enjoyed the feeling of her hands upon him, and groaned as her lips once more found his skin, which tingled wherever she kissed. She was magical!

"Rebecca...hmmmmm..."

She smirked slightly at his utterance and nuzzled into his casscading, white hair, giggling slightly as it tickled her face. She nipped lightly at the back of his neck, loving it when he jumped slightly and then kissed slowly down his spine. She paid special attention to the reactions he gave her as she went. A gasp here, a moan there, it fueled her pleasure, knowing she was pleasing him. She came back round to his front and straddeld his waist, pushing on him lightly till he was laying down in the pillows. Her eyes were on fire, and she let him see the warmth and love that echoed behind them. She covered him with her body and gently, nipped and kissed, starting with his ears and down his neck. She reveled in the way he responded to her, being very slow and loving as she kissed and explored every inch of him.

He was drowning, in pleausre. Pleasure this woman brought him as he closed his eyes against the sensations she was bringing him, making him feel. His fists balled into the sheets before he raised his hands and caressed her body, daring to touch her. When she purred to him at his touch, he was enflamed. Though he tried to remain still, it wasn't long before his hips began to thrust up towards her, as gasps and moans left him breatheless. When she sat up and rocked hard against him, he cried out, throwing his head back into the pillows, his fingers digging into her hips through her breeches.

"Rebecca...Please...Don't...Don't tease..." He gasped out as he smiled faintly up at watched as she slid off of him, wondering if his words had upset her. But all thoughts died the moment her hands went to the lacings of her breeches and she started to undo them.

"Is this what you want, Lucius?" Her eyes danced as she slowly undid her breeches, letting them slide off a bit, before pulling them back up with a wicked grin, loving it as he whimpered. "Ummm? You want to see me?"

"Yes...Gods, Woman, yes!" He looked at her like a starving man, and rubbed his face in frustration at her teasings, turning to stare at the celing, trying to calm himself down. He was distracted enough that when she came to sit beside him, completely naked, he didn't notice. Not until she ran her hand over his cock through his breeches, which caused him to groan loudly. "Rebecca...not...fair...oh Please woman...!"

"What's the matter, Lucius?" She grinned down at him as she slipped her hand inside his breeches and took him into her hand. Stroking him gently. "Want me to stop?"

He tossed his head back and forth upon the pillows, his body arching beautifully towards her touch as she began to stroke him. Though still trapped in his breeches, it was painful as he grew against her strokes.

"Release...me!" He hissed through his clenched teeth. Knowing she would understand what it was he meant.

She giggled cutely at him as she watched him. So he had some 'fight' still left in him, that was good to see. "Now why would I do that? When I have total control with you locked down...hmmm?" She watched as he arched his back again and cried out. His eyes clenched shut only to fly open as she ran a finger over the tip of his shaft.

"Rebecca...please...!" He begged, looking at her, gasping for breath. "Release me...It...hurts...I can't...Please!" He panted, his chest rising and falling with every gasp he took.

She released him and slowly undid his lacings, standing to tug them off his hips gently as he arched up to help her remove them. She growled at seeing how turned on he was. Hard and ready for her, his eyes trailing her form waiting to see what she would do.

"You are beautiful Lucius...Beautiful." She whispered to him as she crawled up between his legs, kissing and nipping at his inner thighs. He groaned at each kiss, panting softly. He looked down at her and saw what she planned before she even did it.

"Rebecca...No..." He inhaled deeply as she took him into her mouth and growled out through clenched teeth, his hands fisting into the sheets. He loved the feeling of her mouth upon him, her tongue twisting around him, flicking over his senstitive tip. He bucked his hips into her mouth, whimpering as he threw his head back into the pillows. He loved it when she did this, but he didn't think he would last long if she continued much longer. "Please..." He gasped and cried out. "Please...No...! I can't...I can't...Rebecca...ohhhhhhhhhh..."

She growled around his shaft, devouring him, watching him as he arched gracefully in ecstacy. As he cleched his jaw against the pleasure. As he tugged at the sheets and cried out for her. She gave him one last lick before pulling away, leaving him panting and gasping for breath. She could smell his pleasure, tasted it in the pre that dripped from his cock as she sucked him, it made her body warm and wetten, knowing that she pleased him that much. she slowly kissed back up his body, enjoying each new sound she pulled from him. He was vocal and she loved it! When she reached his lips, she hovered close enough for him to feel her breath against his lips, but far enough away to be teasing.

"I love you Lucius..." That soft whisper undid him as he leaned up and claimed her lips in a deep and passionate kiss. She had driven him to the brink with her slow lovings and teasings and now it was his turn! Wrapping his hands around her, he rolled so that she was beneathe him, feeling her wetness against his probing shaft as he arched up slightly to find her opening. He glanced down at her, waiting.

"Do you want me, Rebecca?" He whispered, positioned but unmoving. even now, if she ended it, he would respect her choice. He would not force her. "If you want, we can still stop." His voice quivered as he glanced down at her. His grey eyes locked upon hers, as if questioning. In answer to his question, she smiled lovingly up at him, and wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him into her with a soft purr of delight. Her body arched against his as he slid into her. She whimpered as he filled her. Thannor was by no means small, but then neither was HE! He groaned and whimpered softly as she pulled him into her awaiting warmth. Biting his lip hard against the sensations that floated over his body and into his brain. He gasped out and stiffened as he bottomed out inside her. Never had anyone every been able to take all of him! Not once in his long life! It was a new sensation for him, that he would not have to hold back with her. That he wouldn't have to control his thrusts. It almost made him dizzy! He held still for a moment, getting used to her and letting her get used to him before he began to move within her. Slow, smooth strokes that hit the top of her gspot with each thrust. He watched as pleasure filled her expression, as she slowly came undone under him. "So beautiful..." He muttered at her as he leaned down and claimed her lips, pinning her to the bed with just his hips as he rocked his against hers. "So very...very...beautiful..."

She wiggled slightly under him as he thrust into her, getting used to the feeling of him being inside her. He filled her and it made her purr, as she could see the surprise and wonder upon his face. So, this must be a first for him? That thought made her warm, as she lifted a hand and twisted a lock of his white hair around her finger as she got used to the feeling he gave her. Her eyes trailed his face as she tucked the lock of hair behind his ear. He was breathtaking! When he began to move, she bit her lip against the soft whimpers that echoed out of her. He knew how to rock in just the right way, to hit that spot inside her each time. He felt amazing! Her hands gripped his shoulders as he hovered over her, and trailed her nails down his arms, which made him hiss in delight. She wanted him closer, but he was taking his time, loving her slowly as she loved him.

"Lucius!" She whimpered his name, which made him tremble atop her. "Ohhhhh...Lucius." She closed her eyes for a moment as pleasure wafted over her, made her shudder in ecstacy against him. When he finally closed the space between them, wrapping his arms under her and holding her close to his body, she wrapped her arms around him and clawed at his back with every thrust he gave her, arching up to meet him time and again.

"Ohhhhhh...Rebecca...! Dammit Woman...!" He rasped out as he held her close, felt the sting of her nails against his skin. He loved it, craved it, craverd Her! He turned and kissed her deeply, sliding his tounge across her lips, seeking entrance and moaned into her mouth when she obliged. She tasted so sweet as their tongues twisted together like serpents. He could also taste himself upon her lips, which made his pace change slightly. He pulled back, crying out as her first orgasm convulsed around his cock, massaging him in a way that had bliss and love flooding his very beaing. He loved it as she cried and moaned as it took her, as he continued to thrust into her. He groaned and buried his face into her neck, biting and sucking at her soft skin. He sat up slightly and scooted her towards him, lifting her legs to rest against his chest as he gripped her thighs in his strong hands and pounded into her, throwing back his head as the different angle brought on new sensations! "Ohhhh! Ohhh Gods...Rebecca...Oooohhhh fuck!" He cried out at the new pace, the new feelings.

"YES LUCIUS! GODS! YESSSSSSS!" She shouted as he changed pace, and pounded harder into her. She felt his entire length fill her over and over again, hitting in just the right places and it left her a squirming, shouting, growling mess! She came undone in his hold as a second orgasm rocked her, causing them both to cry out, but still he didn't stop! He was like an avenging angel, giving everything he had to her, holding nothing back!

At her shouts and her second release, he grit his teeth as he felt his own release fast in coming. He wanted her to know just how much he loved her. He lowered her legs to the bed and covered her body with his once more. Raining soft kisses over her face as he held her tightly against him. He pressed his lips to her ear and once more in the soft words of the Wizards, he whispered to her.
"You are mine, Little One, I'm going to ignite the flames of your body like no man has ever done for you before. You're mine. MINE!" He kissed just under her ear where it made her gasp and he claimed her lips once more as they moved together. Pulling back for air, he gazed down at her from under the curtain his white hair made as it fell over his shoulders. He loved her, He loved her so much it hurt!

"I love you, Rebecca." He said softly as he held her close, gasping it out to her as he moved within her. "I love you so much it hurts. I Love you...I Love you...I Love you...!" He cried with each thrust of his hips. Crying out as his body bowed, he felt his balls clench painfully, felt himself lenthen and then felt himself let go deep inside her with a soul tearing cry as he arched harder into her, riding out his release. He saw stars, he heard the pounding of his blood in his ears, he felt himself go tense in her embrace as he floated away.

"I love you Lucius!" She cried out in return as her hands trailed his form, touching him and kissing him everywhere she could. "I love you!" She felt him lengthen inside her and screamed out his name as she came for the third and final time. She felt him thrust hard into her as she rode out her release with him. she went blind from the sheer force of it for a few moments, before she turned to goo in his arms. Gasping and trying to remember how to breathe. She looked up at him and smirked slightly as his eyes were still closed, his teeth still clenched in ecstacy. She leaned up and kissed him just under his chin, nipping and nuzzling him till he slowly opened his eyes and looked down at her, before collasping lightly upon her.

He lowered himself upon her, resting his head lightly upon her chest, listening to her heart beating under his ear. It soothed him, that sound, like no other sound did. His breathing came in great gasps as he tried to slow it, coming down of the most wonderful high he had ever experienced in quite a long long time. He felt so safe and loved, here in her arms. He turned so his chin was resting on her chest and cast her a soft smile.

"I love you." He softly whispered, but meaning was behind his words this time instead of fear.

She looked down at him, a bright smile upon her face as she gently played with his hair as they snuggled together. Each feeling the aftereffects of such a moment. Her heart raced and she nuzzled him back gently.

"I love you too." She whispered softly to him. She was filled with such happiness to see the fog lift from his eyes, to see the saddened look dim as well. She saw light once more within him, and she found him beautiful. "Forever, Lucius. For that is how long elves live. I will love you forever." She said softly as she kissed him, smiling slightly against his lips as he returned her kiss and feeling him jump once more inside her. "Slowly Love...we have all the time in the world."
