That afternoon at lunch, Elrond announced the arrival of his foster son, Estel. He would be arriving that evening, shortly before dinner. Alatariel was excited to be seeing her 'nephew' again after so many years of him traveling. Haldir had heard much of Estel, but never got the chance to meet him.

Celebrian noticed the way Haldir and Alatariel barely left each other's side and the way they looked at each other. She also noticed Malfanaion's newfound interest in her daughter Arwen, who seemed just as interested. Perhaps he could put up with her whiney attitude better than the other male Elves.

Celebrian walked over to Alatariel and sat next to her.

"Do my eyes decieve me, sister, or have you fallen in love?", she asked, resting her head in her hands.

Alatariel smiled and looked at Haldir, who lovingly placed his hands on her shoulders.

"I believe I have ensnared him!!", Alatariel said, as Haldir laughed. She gazed into his eyes before continuing. "As he has ensnared me".

Celebrian looked at Elrond and shared a knowing smile with him.

Gilraen and Rumil sat in her chamber, talking about that night's events. Rumil noticed something was bothering her, and he wanted to know what it was.

"Gilraen, what is it?", he asked, taking her hand in his.

Gilraen sighed, wondering whether to confess her former desire for Estel to her new love. It had been many years since she had seen Estel, and also knew that her heart had been stolen by this wonderful blonde Elf.

Sighing, Gilraen looked up at Rumil, his beautiful blue eyes wider with concern.

"Before Estel left, I used to desire him.", she said, her hadns figity.

Rumil slowly digested what she had said, and slowly smiled.

"I think I know a way we can take care of that problem.", he said.

Gilraen, was confused.

"How?", she asked.

Rumil took her face in his hands and kissed her.

"I desire men as well as women"

Gilraen's eyes lit up at the sound of this. She shared a look with Rumil. If all went well, she would be the happiest Elf in all of Rivendell by the next morning.

Alatariel ran down the hallway to Haldir's chamber. Her desire for him was driving her mad, and even though they had planned to meet later in the evening, she couldn't go another second without him.

She stopped at his door and knocked loudly. A few seconds went by, and finally, Haldir opened the door, a look of surprise on his face.

"Alatariel, I thought we were to meet lat-", he managed to get out before she pushed herself inside and threw herself on him.

He stumbled back and landed against the wall. Alatariel moved up from kissing his neck to his mouth and although he was still startled at first, he relaxed and kissed her back, feeling their tongues intertwine. Alatariel soon had him shirtless, and he felt his own desires rising at the feeling of her fingernails running down his back.

Alatariel moved back to his neck and ran her tongue along his jawbone, down his neck and across his collarbone. She moved her leg in between his, and pressed her thigh against his hardness, moving it up and down.

Haldir suddenly picked Alatariel up and carried her in his strong arms over to his bed, falling into her passionate embrace.

~*~oh, how I tease thee~*~
