Siriel's reaction to the kiss...

CHAPTER 14

Erestor pulled away only a moment later, lowering his head.

" Siriel, please forgive me."

Siriel smiled at him.

" Erestor, I know your heart belongs to Glorfindel, but my heart belongs to you. Do not ask my forgiveness. I have waited for a kiss from you for nearly a century."

Erestor managed to smile. Siriel had really loved him for that long?

" Siriel, I would not have your heart broken because of something I cannot control."

Siriel tightened his hold on Erestor, afraid that if he let him go, he would tell him to leave.

" Let me love you until you have Glorfindel." Siriel whispered.

Erestor stroked Siriel's hair.

" I will not use you like that."

Siriel felt tears falling from his eyes.

" Saes Erestor."

Erestor had tears falling from his eyes as well.

" Your heart breaks. I feel it Siriel. I cannot let you love me."

Siriel's hold on Erestor lessened until he finally let him go. Erestor pulled Siriel into his arms.

"Do you you truly mean this? That you will not let me love you?"

Erestor kissed Siriel's temple.

" Yes."

Siriel began to sob. He had lost Erestor and what was worse is that he lost him to Glorfindel.
