Chapter 2 The heat is on…

He hurried along, found the right entrance and made sure that there was nobody near, when he was safe inside of the secret passage he got the costume on and then he smeared the fluorescent goo all over him. He was shining like a goddamn beacon by now but that didn't matter, only Gelinnas was to see him anyhow. He stopped by the secret door and listened, nothing. She was asleep and so he slowly opened the narrow door and slid inside, made sure that the door was closed behind him and that he didn't make any noises.

Gelinnas was asleep, she had to have had some sort of revelation last night for this night the nightgown/armor was gone. She was in the nude! Thranduil had to stop and stare, she had kicked the covers off and was laying on her stomach with her head tilted to one side. She had drooled on the pillow and was snoring ever so slightly but that didn't make her any less desirable. He whispered the spell that transformed his voice and then he walked until he stood at the edge of the bed and called out her name. Gelinnas woke up with a start and a yelp and then she threw herself around, kneeling on the bed facing him.

"Oh my lord, you did come"

Thranduil managed to stay perfectly composed but it was hard, seeing her like that with her ass in the air kneeling in front of him put images in his head that he would have preferred to forget. He had to remain in character damn it. " Of course child of Eru, did I not promise to return?"

Gelinnas was staring at him with awe, her eyes alight with reverence and joy. " Oh my lord, I have felt the light within me ever since thou left, and I ache to feel it yet again. I feel blessed already"

Thranduil almost let out a snort. " Oh but you are, and thy blessing will only increase from now on."

She looked eager, no, ravenous! Thranduil started to have some doubts, had he had such an impact on her? Damn! " I…I have dreamt of thee my lord, and I…I ache to feel thy hand upon my hröa once more. "

Thranduil stepped a little closer and smiled, she was practically shivering and he could smell how aroused she was. He had a sensation of having unleashed something that could prove to be rather volatile. Didn't this elleth have any sense of self-restraint? She was panting and he grasped her gently and got her up on her knees, kissed her brow and she made a weird sound and grasped his hand, pressed it against her chest. " Listen my lord, my heart is beating only for thee, show me thy light once more, I beg thee"

Thranduil did barely believe his own ears, yep, he had apparently created a monster. From being as close to frigid as it was physically possible to be for an elleth she was well on her way to now becoming a nymphomaniac. He had to stop her somewhat disturbing pleas so he kissed her. She jerked and then she grasped onto him and kissed him back, with no skill whatsoever and a lot of zeal but he felt almost as if she was trying to chew his face off. Damn! He tried to distract her with some tongue but that only made it worse, suddenly she obviously figured out that tongue was alright so she tried to push her own way past his tonsils. He gently pushed her back a bit and tried to nibble her ears and was rewarded with a shriek and she was grasping onto him for dear life, gasping and shaking. " M…My lord, I need it, I need it so bad…bless me yet again!"

He was a bit shocked by her sudden desperation, she had to have harbored centuries of pent up and neglected desire to be able to act thus. She grasped his hand and put it between her own legs and he had never ever met an elleth who was that desperate. And wet, she was sopping wet and he made a decision there and then. He kissed her again and lifted her, put her down onto the bed. " Of course, I am overjoyed to see that thy hröa is this ready for the light of the valar."

Before she had time to react he had placed his head between her legs and went to work with zeal and Gelinnas shrieked and thrashed and grasped onto his hair. He was afraid that she would pull his wig off so he grasped her wrists and put her hands onto her own breasts. She got the idea immediately and massaged them almost desperately and her hips were bucking so hard he had to hold onto her to stay in place. She didn't last long, in fact only a couple of minutes max. She threw her head back and yelled as she climaxed shaking all over. " The light, I see the light ooh yeeesss"

He held her and tried to conceal his slightly pained expression for her voice cracked and wasn't at all pleasant to listen to. As a matter of fact it reminded him of the cooks old donkey when it got angry. He fought the urge to answer her with a " Hee-haw, hee-haw"

Gelinnas almost collapsed onto the bed, sweaty and wild eyed and he caressed her legs gently. " I think my lord never could have found a vessel more worthy of the light, thou are like the very stars of the skies"

Gelinnas blushed, she actually blushed. " Oh my lord, I am so honored. I feel as though the light is filling me completely, it makes me want to sing!"

Thranduils initial thought when hearing that was " Oh dear Eru, spare me!" but he didn't say it out loud and to his horror she did indeed start to sing. A hymn that was both old and very beautiful but she managed to transform it into something which the king only could compare with the dying shrieks of an injured warg. Her voice ought to be regarded as a lethal weapon, it made his ears ring, and by Morgoth's minions, she would have made a bunch of ring wraiths sound like a friggin boy's choir.

He hadn't even known that it was possible to be that out of tune and she did slide on the tones, probably to create some sort of sentimental effect, it sounded a bit like a very angry cat trying to intimidate a rival. " Dear child, thy gratitude is enough, now, let me bless thee yet again, once the night that was, twice this night and thrice for the night to come"

She lifted her head and blinked, obviously in awe. " It is possible to be blessed more than once, oh Eru how wonderful!"

He smirked but hid it. " Indeed it is dear child, and needed, so that thou can receive the full blessing at last."

He bent down yet again and started exploring her with his tongue and this time he did tease her entrance with his fingers, hoping that she would respond the right way. She did, her eyes rolled and she let out mewling sounds and he started to use his fingers with some force and to his shock she was literally pushing herself onto them. He wondered if Candriel's victim was that eager? Probably not!

Before long she screamed again. " Aaahh…Ahhh…Alcariiiiin"

No doubt she had healthy and very strong lungs, but that screaming could be heard even through the thick walls of the palace so he shut her up by kissing her again. " And now child, thy light is nearly free and almost as strong as it can be. Soon Manwë's full blessing will be upon thee."

She was still gasping for air, eyes filled with wonder and awe. " I cannot wait, I am so grateful, I feel so…so aglow"

He got up and was glad his robe was very long and flowing, it hid his arousal very well. " But thou are glowing beautiful one, glowing with the most sacred of lights"

She giggled and he sent her a gentle but stern glance. " And remember, not a word of this to anyone before thy full blessing has been received"

She nodded eagerly. " Not a word, I swear. I cannot wait to see the look in the faces of the infidels when I tell them how my faithfulness has been rewarded"

Thranduil had to disguise a scoff as a light sneeze. " Indeed, and now I bid thee a good night once more, sleep and recover, tomorrow night I will visit yet again and bless thee thrice."

She had an expression of sheer joy on her face and he felt guilty yet again but no, he wasn't going to lose that bet, no way. She did enjoy it and perhaps she would become a little less cocky and a bit more tolerable when this was over. One could always hope.

He whispered the sleep spell and her eyes did slide out of focus, before long she was sleeping and he slid out of the door once more. He was more than a bit shocked by the way she had changed within just one day, she probably had no idea of the fact that what he had done to her was sex, it was really a bit tragic but at the same time hilarious. He shuddered, had they had just a handful of ellith with a voice like that Sauron would have entered the void voluntarily, just to get away. In fact, both he and Morgoth would have begged for it.

He hurried back to his rooms and forgot to look out, for when he got out of the secret passageway he suddenly saw a servant maid and a warrior who stood in a corner making out rather vigorously. Before he could run and hide both saw him and the maid screamed and appeared to faint and the warrior just stared with eyes like dinner plates!

He was obviously in shock, and Thranduil managed to swiftly open another hidden door and disappear through it, swearing loudly to himself. Now they had both seen a tall glowing figure appear and disappear into the very walls, how long would it be before somebody thought the place was haunted? He moaned and took another route back to his rooms, when he finally got there nobody else had seen him but he knew that it was only a matter of time before somebody came to fetch him so he ripped his costume off and hid it in a secret drawer within his closet. Then he almost ran to the bath and jumped into the pool, scrubbing away at the glowing fluid rather vigorously.

There was a banging sound coming from his door and he sighed and rolled his eyes. Just perfect, he was still aroused from his encounter with that previously pious now turned nympho elleth and he feared that he had speckles of paint still stuck to his skin. He grasped onto a dressing robe and pulled it on. " Who is it?!"

An anxious voice answered from outside. " Galion my liege."

Thranduil took a deep breath, just to prepare himself. " Enter"

He knew that Galion would suspect something if he wasn't allowed entrance and Thranduil did check himself in the mirror swiftly, just to make sure that the paint was gone. The robe was wide so Galion wouldn't see that the king was sporting quite an impressive hard on, and most importantly, he would understand it if the king appeared to be grumpy. Everybody would be grumpy if they were interrupted in the middle of a pleasant bath.

Galion walked right in, the normally very composed butler appeared to be in a state of shock, his eyes wide and his cheeks had lost most of their usual color. Galion was well known for being a bit too fond of the king's best wines, Dorwinion in special and he did have a unfortunate habit of helping himself to some wine every now and then. Thranduil had come across his butler sleeping it off in some hidden corner more than once and had chosen to ignore it, after all, poor Galion had a job nobody would ever envy him and to have survived this far with his sanity intact meant that the ellon had the health of an Oliphant and the patience of a saint or rather a whole bunch of them.

"My lord, there…there has been sightings of a ghost within these very halls!"

Galion did almost squeak and Thranduil scoffed. " A ghost? Oh for Eru's sake ellon, some guard must have taken a few glasses of wine too many, or eaten the wrong mushrooms. Ghosts? Bha!"

Galion swallowed hard and stared at the floor, his hands were trembling. " My lord, it was one of the washer maidens and her…ah…companion, and they swore it was your father!"

Thranduil managed to maintain the sour expression but on the inside he cringed. " Oh for fucks sake, my father? I can assure you that he wouldn't come back to haunt us, his fëa is safe within Mandos halls and he has no reason to bare any sort of grudge against us now does he?"

Galion looked a bit like a fish that has been pulled up too fast, eyes bulging and mouth opening and closing at an alarming rate. " But my liege, they were sure! A glowing tall figure, walking through the walls. What else can it be?"

Thranduil sighed as if the weight of the world was on his shoulders and at this very moment it felt that way. " Galion, I was bathing! I will look into it come the morrow, now leave me be!"

Galion bowed slightly but he didn't look a bit less worried and Thranduil did feel a sting of guilt once more. Galion was so loyal and such a good friend too it was wrong to dismiss him like that but he had to. He watched as Galion returned to his duties and then he went back to the bath. The next night would be easy too, he was sure of it, but the day after that? That would be the very test itself. He let the warm water wash away all his tension and wondered how Candriel was faring with her chosen target.

Candriel did make sure that she looked absolutely marvelous that morning, she had put on a dress that looked very modest but could become seductive with a few grips and she had also made sure to bathe and put on some very nice perfume she knew the ellyn loved. She had Lord Elhadron's robe under her arm as she returned to the park and she made sure that he had arrived before she did. He sat at his favorite bench as usual, reading some scrolls and she wondered how one of the first born, eternally young and so forth, could look so haggard? He did look as if all the sorrows of this world had been thrown at him and she supposed that it was no wonder considering how his married life had been.

He did notice her and got up, bowed politely and yet she saw that he was a bit nervous, there was a glimpse of something akin to shame within his gaze and Candriel knew enough about ellyn to immediately realize the reason. She hid her grin and put her face into a very innocent and naïve mask she knew fooled most. She had after all been a servant for many years, she had to be able to read others well and tend to their needs and she was proud to say that she was rather smart. Candriel knew that she had to get a bit further with him this day, preferably as far as possible. She had yet some days left but she couldn't postpone anything, it could prove to be a disaster if the lord suddenly got cold feet.

She handed him the robe. " I have washed it my lord, I hope your wife won't mind?"

She kept her voice soft and sweet and naïve and Lord Elhadron swallowed and looked a bit bothered. "Uh, uhm, I am not married young lady, I am a widower. "

Candriel opened her eyes wide, stared at him with shock written all over her face. " Oh I am so sorry my lord, I humbly apologize."

Elhadron had a peculiar expression upon his face. " Uh, it has been many years since my wife passed away, I am not offended in any way. "

Candriel batted her eyelashes, pretending to be very relieved. " I am glad my lord, I do not want to awaken sad memories."

Elhadron shook his head. " You didn't, as I said, it has been years."

Candriel put up her most compassionate expression. " Yet it saddens me to hear of your loss, how did your wife…pass away?"

Elhadron swallowed. " She was out riding with some other ellith and her horse got spooked and threw her, she landed on a rock and broke her neck poor thing."

Candriel managed to press forth a few tears. " Oh Eru, how tragic. Were you very close?"

Elhadron had problems tearing his eyes away from her neck, it was so long and slender and the skin so fair and smooth, he was sure it would feel like velvet to the touch, oh Eru what was he thinking? According to the ancient laws he was still married! But he did doubt that he would meet his not so sweet wife again, if Namo had been foolish enough to welcome her to his halls he would quickly have regretted it, there had to be some hidden vault within the halls deep and distant enough for her, or perhaps the void had received yet another guest? Oh no, that would be cruel, Morgoth had been terrible but not that terrible, being cooped up with Eldanara was torture.

"Ah, no, our marriage had…cooled off long before her sad demise."

He didn't mention that he had brought that rock back home, now it had a place within his small apartment carrying a small table and upon it was written " My savior" Candriel sighed. " Still, it is very tragic, was she sweet?"

Elhadron shook his head, if his wife had been sweet then it was sweet poison. " No, she was a very…stern elleth, very…self-assure."

Candriel nodded with such compassion within those lovely dark eyes. Elhadron suddenly found himself fishing for more of that, shamelessly. " As a matter of fact my wife was…a terrible person, the things she did to me, oh Eru you wouldn't believe it."

Candriel blinked and he stared at her lips, so soft and pink and inviting. His wife's lips had been thin and hard and the only thing they did invite was the wine she sometimes did drink, just to calm her stomach as she put it. " That sounds dreadful, didn't she love you?"

Elhadron felt sad, and yet in a weird way eager. " No, our parents arranged the marriage, to bring our families together. They…they didn't exactly manage to find somebody who matched us well."

Candriel pouted. " That is terrible! You poor thing, imagine spending many years with somebody like that!"

Elhadron had never met anyone who did really listen like that, who didn't laugh at him. And he wanted to hear that sweet voice comfort him. He didn't know what got into him but he continued talking. " Sbe didn't even allow me to touch her, I was in bed with her only a handful of times and she tried to make me feel ashamed of myself. "

Candriel looked as if she was on the brink of crying. " Such a hag, treating a nice ellon like you in such a foul way, you poor thing"

She reached out and let her hand slide across his cheek and he gasped, he had never felt anything that soft in years. " Ah, well. I guess she had some sort of problem and took it out on her surroundings."

Candriel was almost whispering, oh that soft voice, so compassionate. " She sounds like a very nasty person then, it must have been a nightmare living with someone so self-centered? "

Elhadron nodded eagerly. " It was, but she is gone now."

Candriel had found his Achilles heel, his weak spot. She leaned in a little closer. "So I guess that means that you never truly have loved someone, that is so tragic."

Elhadron found her tone of voice very endearing and she was so close to him. " No, no I cannot say that I have."

Candriel tilted her sweet little head and batted her eyelashes. " But all ellith are not like that you know? She must have been the one elleth born with a mean nature."

Elhadron tried to smile but his face felt stiff, awkward as if it wasn't his own. He couldn't possibly hope that she…no!

" I guess you are right, but she did leave…ah…quite a lot of difficult feelings for me to sort out and I haven't really gotten over her."

Candriel batted her eyelashes, looked so very compassionate. " Really? Oh you poor soul, that must be so hard."

Elhadron thought to himself that she didn't have any idea of just hard it could be, but kept it to himself. " It is, I have to admit that. But I have learned to live that way and I have accepted it."

Candriel touched his hand gently. " So, you haven't been with anyone then? Since she died?"

Elhadron almost choked when he realized what she meant with her words. " Uh, no, I didn't before either, I mean…"

Candriel got up on her toes and kissed him on his lips, a rather chaste kiss but it made him squeak and feel light headed. " Oh!"

Candriel smiled sweetly. "There, now I have scandalized you for sure."

Elhadron fought the urge to grasp onto her, return the kiss with desperation. " Thank you, nobody has kissed me thus."

She raised an eyebrow. " Really? Never?"

He nodded. " Never, I…I have just been with my wife and she…she didn't like to be touched"

Candriel pouted. " That was her loss then, but you do know that it isn't supposed to be like that at all?"

Elhadron felt both embarrassed and at the same time strangely eager. Surely she wasn't like his wife? She wouldn't humiliate him would she? " Yes, of course."

Candriel knew that she had to work while the iron was hot so to speak so she got up on her toes yet again and kissed him once more, this time it was a real kiss, not a peck at all. Elhadron couldn't believe it, it felt…it felt as though he was about to burst from something he had yet to experience. He wanted to grasp her, hold onto her, feel her in every thinkable way but his past experienced stopped him, somebody had to set him free and it appeared as if this gorgeous blonde would do that and do it gladly too.

Candriel put all of her talents to good use and before long Elhadron was panting and feeling so very hot indeed. She knew she had him, and now it was time to reel in the catch. She kissed him yet again, with tongue and he was shaking all over. Poor ellon, he had probably never made out with anyone for real and she grasped his hands and put them on her hips. Elhadron squeaked and held onto her so hard she would have bruises later on but she didn't mind. No wonder that counsellor was so pious and up-tight. He had been afraid of his own feelings and needs and that is never healthy in the long run. But she would make sure that he would be very relaxed and happy and last but not least satisfied when she was done with him.

Candriel had a naughty expression within her eyes, she knew just what to do. She let a hand slide down his body and Elhadron gasped and for a moment his eyes were huge with shock. Then he made a weird sound and his hips jerked involuntarily. Candriel could feel that he was hard as the stem of a mallorn and quite impressive too, for an ellon that lean. This would be fun! Elhadron had closed his eyes, the feeling of a hand caressing him through his pants was just too much, it was way more than he could cope with but he couldn't fight it. It just felt too wonderful and he saw sparks and stars and felt his legs shaking.

Candriel was purring. " Feels good doesn't it?"

He only moaned and she grasped him and pulled him with her until they stood in a small open spot between some beeches and some tall bushes. She kept caressing him and he leaned back against the stem of one of the trees, barely able to breathe. Candriel knew that it still was a long way to go before he got so eager he would take her so she did what she could to throw more fuel on the fire. She opened his belt with fast fingers and unlaced his pants and he didn't even notice until she suddenly had his cock free and out in the open.

Elhadron had come to resent that part of himself, his wife had mocked him about it and had managed to make him ashamed of his own body but this heavenly creature was touching him in a way his wife never would have dreamed off and it felt so good, it felt so good he could have died and what if somebody came by and saw it, but screw that thought, she couldn't stop, he would die if she stopped.

Candriel knew that he was rather close already, just from her hands alone, he was leaking and shaking all over, eyes glazed with lust and she did in fact pity him a lot. With that amount of frustration within it was no wonder he became rather stern and unpleasant towards others. She wanted to see how far he would let her go and sank down, crouching in front of him.

Elhadron blinked and looked down, what was she doing down there? Had she dropped something? Oh Eru! The feeling was insane, it was so good he could have wept, and he could only put a hand on top of her soft locks and allow her to do it. He had never even dreamed that he would have this experience and now he was ready to thank every known deity for this.

Candriel was a master at this, she knew just what to do to keep an ellon on the edge without pushing him over it and Elhadron was gasping and moaning and trembling and he had thrown his head back with his eyes closed and his mouth open. Nothing had ever felt that good, nothing! Candriel was using her tongue with zeal while she took him as far down her throat as she could and she got a kick from the fact that somebody could come by and discover them. She was well hidden by the bushes but anybody who saw Elhadron's face would understand what he was going through.

She was merciful and let him climax, Elhadron pressed his fist against his mouth to stop himself from screaming, he was coming so hard he feared that his heart would burst from it but what a way to go! She swallowed, by Eru she had allowed him to come in her mouth and the very idea was almost enough to make him pass out from sheer gratitude and shock. His legs almost gave in on him and she licked him clean and got his cock back into his pants and laced them back up. He was just leaning against the tree with his eyes closed, sweat running off of him and a heaving chest. " You have never experienced that before now have you?"

Elhadron could only shake his head and make a sheepish and very happy grin. " I am glad I could give you some pleasure my lord."

He wanted to sit down but then his robes would get soiled. He had never felt that well in all of his life, ever. " T..thank you"

It was all that he could say and Candriel kissed him with passion. He could taste himself of her lips and that almost made his heart skip a beat or two. Candriel let a hand run through his long dark hair and smiled sweetly. " You are very welcome. I can show you so much more if you like?"

He couldn't believe his own ears. " You can?! Uh, do you really want to… I mean…"

Candriel kissed his cheek. " Most certainly."

He felt a burning hunger for more, nodded almost desperately. " Yes, yes please, show me more!"

Candriel just smiled. " Then meet me tomorrow, in the main garden, the one with the pond? Early!"

Elhadron blinked a few times. " What if someone comes by and sees us?! "

There was a hint of panic in his voice and she put a finger over his lips. " Do not worry, we'll meet there, then we can go somewhere else. I think I want to let you take me then."

Elhadron couldn't believe his ears, she would? Oh Eru's mercy, he had never thought that he would have the courage to try to fuck someone again after his wife's nasty treatment of him but now he ached to. " For real?"

She reached up, licked his ear and he hissed and shuddered. " For real my lord, you can have me any way you like, on my back or on my knees, we can play horse and mare if you like? Or you can take me up against a wall, or on a table. I really long to feel you within me"

Elhadron hadn't believed that he could get another hard on that fast but he could and she gently rubbed him again until he was seeing stars. " Until tomorrow my lord, I am looking forward to seeing you once more"

He was rolling his eyes, tomorrow was so far away, it felt like an entire age. She let go and he whimpered and wanted her to continue but of course she was right, soon there would be other elves everywhere and then they could be discovered. He grasped her hand, kissed it and she giggled and gave him a swift peck on the cheek. " Tomorrow, before sunrise, remember that!"

He felt that his grin was a silly one by now. " Yes, I will be there, for sure."

She looked back at him as she walked off, Valar how sweet she was. " Until then"

He nodded. " Yes, until then!"

Candriel hurried back to her chambers where she got herself some food and changed into a different dress. She grinned to herself. This was going the right way for sure and she would win. And when she won she would make the king wear something rather spectacular for sure, but she was also rather convinced that he wouldn't like it that much.

She stayed in her rooms until there was a knock on the door, she already knew that Thranduil would be curious about her progress and she wasn't surprised when she discovered that it was him. He looked as regal as ever and he did grant her a small smile as she let him in. " How are things going?"

She heard the tension within his voice and smiled. " Well, surprisingly well I must say. He isn't that hard to seduce at all."

Thranduil raised an eyebrow, it almost touched his hairline. "Really? I would have guessed that Elhadron had forgotten he had a cock!"

Candriel stared at her own fingertips with a very naughty expression within her eyes. " Oh not anymore, I can assure you of that. He has been re-awakened for sure."

Thranduil leaned against the wall, his posture did really show off his lean and yet muscular frame and she knew he did it on purpose. " So, how did you do that?"

Candriel sat down in an armchair, she leaned back and knew that she looked very lovely like that. " I found his weak spot of course, what else do you think I did? I have discovered that there is a heck of a lot of penned up heat within that seemingly bone dry ellon"

Thranduil sauntered closer to her, sat down on his haunches next to the chair and stared her straight in the eye. " Tell me, tell me everything."

Candriel played with her hair. " First I just kissed him, and he liked that."

Thranduil leaned forth and caught her lips in a very heated kiss, it felt rather demanding. "Like that?"

She opened her mouth and let him have access to it. He immediately trust his tongue into it and his eagerness didn't surprise her at all. He probably felt like he had to prove to her that she after all still belonged to him. "Yes, pretty much like that yeah."

He caressed her neck and there was a dark flame blazing within his eyes, he was jealous but it only fueled his fire that much more and Candriel knew she would get it this time and not in a nice and gentle way. " And then?"

Candriel licked her lips. " I caressed him, right where he wanted my touch and by Eru how ready and eager he got."

Thranduil growled, he leaned forth and nipped at her neck, licked it and she shivered and yelped. He was turning her on, big time. " Show me!"

It was a demand, not a question and she sat up and grasped his hips, got him into the right position before she started caressing the bulge in his pants firmly and yet with gentleness. He hissed and closed his eyes. " Yes, and then?"

Candriel tilted her head. " I showed him what a good blowjob is, amidst the bushes and trees. He almost passed out."

Thranduil chuckled but his eyes were black now and he quickly opened his own breeches and got himself free from his underwear. Candriel stared up at him. " Shall I my lord?"

He nodded. " Yes, exactly as you did with him, go on"

Candriel purred. " Oh I love it when you are so demanding and kingly."

She started licking and sucking and caressed his balls too with her free hand and he groaned and grasped onto her hair, held her in place. Candriel was rather good at relaxing her throat, she had to be to be able to handle his length and girth and she was a bit glad Elhadron was quite a lot smaller than the king, even if he was far from tiny.

She knew that her lover would come fast this time, his thoughts and mental images would see to that. The idea of her sucking someone else off probably turned him on in a whole new way and she was right. It only took her half of the normal time to make him come, hard and almost violently. He just stood there and panted and Candriel knew that he loved this. To him it was a kick to be this much in power and she liked to see how far she could go with her slightly unusual ideas.

"So, how about the lovely lady Gelinnas, have you made her sing yet?"

Thranduil cringed visibly as he laced his pants back up. " Eru, don't mention singing. She did try to sing last night and I have heard orcs that sounded heavenly compared with her."

Candriel took a swig from her wine glass, stared at him with some amazement. " Really?"

Thranduil sat down and got his hair out of his face. " I have to confess one thing to you Candriel, I fear that elleth will become a handful after this is over. She was ready to rape me last night, or at least it felt that way."

Candriel almost choked on her wine. " What?! She did?"

Thranduil nodded and his eyes were distant. " Indeed. I think I awakened a sleeping dragon, or something of that kind."

Candriel had to laugh. " Are you comparing that elleth's libido with a dragon?!"

Thranduil shrugged. " Oh yes, they are both hard to cool down whence they have gotten the heat going and both can be devastating and dangerous"

She tilted her head, pulled her legs up and he stared at her knees. " Really? She cannot be that bad?"

Thranduil sighed. " She is very fond of coming, I have realized that by now, she will wear me out before I even have a chance at our bet."

Candriel leaned forward. " Did you fuck her?"

He shook his head. " Nope, just hands and tongue, the way she screams they will hear her over in Mordor when I take her, I am bloody sure."

Candriel giggled. " You'd better ask everyone to wear earplugs then, so we won't have a huge group of deaf warriors on our hands."

Thranduil bit his lower lip, there was some mischievous sparks dancing within that ice blue gaze. " That would be too bad yes."

Candriel pulled her skirts up a bit, spread her legs. " Maybe you could demonstrate your technique to me? I swear I won't scream like a ring wraith or anything"

Thranduil sniggered. "Thank goodness for that, I have never come across a tone deaf elf before but she cannot have the slightest idea of how terrible she sounded. Half a dozen singers like her and we could clear the forest of orcs and spiders once and for all. Although on second thought, it could be considered as cruelty to animals."

Candriel giggled and he got down on his knees in front of the chair and put his hands on her knees, spread them with a firm gesture. " I expect only pleasant sounds from you my dear, not screeches that would make a balrog piss its pants."

Candriel gasped as he got to it and clung onto the chair for dear life. " You won't be disappointed my lord, I swear"

He was good at this, Candriel tried to resist but there was no use in it, she came hard and wriggled underneath him. The king hadn't had enough for he got his pants down and pulled her forth so she lay with her butt resting on the very edge of the seat, her legs were firmly pressed against his torso and he pushed himself into her with one determined thrust. Candriel gasped his name and just enjoyed the sensation of being filled to the point where it almost hurt, He wasn't that rough usually but now he was thrusting into her with wild abandon and groaned continuously. Candriel used her long legs to press him even closer as she reached her second climax, and she just knew that this chair would have to be washed thoroughly. It was probably soaked in their juices by now. He followed suit, grasping the chair so hard it creaked and threatened to dissolve into splinters. He was terribly strong and his passion and jealousy made him forget his own strength.

They just lay there heaving for air and Candriel let a hand slide through his hair. " Tomorrow morning I am planning to do my share of the bet, I have convinced him of the wisdom of meeting me before sunrise in the garden."

Thranduil had a distant expression within his eyes. "Do you think he will go that far? And will there be somebody watching?"

Candriel chuckled. " Oh he will forget his own name, believe me. I will not fail at this. And yes, I have a plan concerning the voyeur too, fear not."

Thranduil smirked. " I do only fear that you will be terribly disappointed when you lose my dear."

Candriel shook her head. " Oh, do not count on it my lord, maybe it is you who ought to be nervous?"

He snorted. " No way, it will happen, before long I will have that elleth and I don't care if the valar themselves show up, I will win"

Candriel leaned back into the chair and closed her eyes, she felt as though she needed a hot bath, and some more wine. " Well, the bet isn't over until we both have tried so good luck my lord."

He leaned forth and kissed her neck. " The same to you my dear, and now I must go and attend to some kingly duties."

Candriel waved him off. " Go have fun, give those council members something to chew on"

He winked at her as he exited the door. " Will do!"

Candriel smirked where she lay. That elleth Thranduil had chosen would never allow him to fuck her in a place where somebody may catch them, or would she? Maybe Gelinnas deep within was just as unorthodox and naughty as she was herself? Terrible thought, she had to remain positive. Yes, tomorrow morning she would be the winner for sure!
