Chapter Four - True Spoken Desires
Startled by the look in his eyes, Elemmire jumped to her feet. Suddenly everything became clear to her. "Why did you bring me here?" Flames danced in her eyes. "You know why." Elemmire cut him off. "I know what you told me. Now I want the truth. Why did you really bring me here?" Haldir sighed. "Obviously you know the answer. It was idiotic of me to try to fool you. I." "Apologize? You seem to spend a great deal of time apologizing, and yet you don't seem to learn from your mistakes! I can't believe that I was fooled by your lies and trickery!" "Don't be angry, elfling." "Angry? I'm way past that Haldir." Her words were sharp as a blade. It was as though something snapped inside Elemmire, turning her into a fierce warrior. She leapt at him, striking out with her fist. Taken off guard, her blow struck Haldir under the chin, knocking him off-balance. He was able to block her next attack, jumping away from her. He rubbed his chin, still stinging from her fist. "Can we talk about this, I would hate to have to hurt you, my elfling." This just angered her more. She lashed out at him with her foot. His attempt to block her foot was in vain. Pain shot through his knee as Elemmire's foot came into contact with his leg. Stumbling round the other side of the tree, he waited for the pain to subside.
"Stop hiding like the coward you are and face me!" Elemmire's shout echoed in the trees. Haldir strode out from behind the tree trunk. "I'm ready for you Elfling." His eyes glowered as he held his head high. A fierce fight ensued. Haldir was determined not to harm her. He tried to knock her off her feet, and block her attacks. Elemmire drew close to the edge of the platform. Haldir took the opportunity, unexpectedly knocking her legs from under her. With a look of horror in her face, Elemmire fell off the edge. Haldir was quick to react, grabbing her arm as she fell. He helped her to get a grasp on the platform. Using all her strength, she pulled herself up, leaping into the air and struck out with her foot. It connected with Haldir's chest, pushing him onto the floor. Elemmire straddled Haldir, one knee either side of his chest. She held his hands on the floor next to his head. "Surprised that your 'elfling' has more strength than you?" There was a superior tone in her voice. It amused Haldir greatly. She was so gorgeous when fired up! "I was more interested in this predicament we're in." He laughed at the bewilderment in Elemmire's eyes. "Or should I say position?" Taking advantage of the distraction, he pushed her off. Both elves jumped to their feet. Before Haldir could open his mouth, Elemmire rushed at him. Haldir grabbed her wrists and pushed her back against the tree. He had her hands pinned above her head with a vice grip. Stunned slightly Elemmire didn't put up much of a fight. Looking her straight in the eyes he moved closer. She felt his breath on her lips. "Have I ever told you how beautiful you are elfling? My Jewelled Star." he trailed off. Elemmire wrenched her eyes away, turning her face away from his. She couldn't move. Haldir took that opportunity to kiss the nape of her neck. Elemmire shuddered slightly at the touch of his soft lips. His lips strayed further down her neck increasing the unknown feeling that had begun to spread through her body. She used her chin to push Haldir's head back. "You're skin is sweet as nectar." He murmured. He had one hand pinning her wrists to the tree. His other hand had strayed elsewhere. Haldir now brought this hand to Elemmire's cheek. Stroking her it gently, he delighted at the red flush that rose and coloured them. "I have no doubt your lips are sweeter." Stopping her protest short, Haldir kissed her. It was a passionate kiss, such that Elemmire felt herself enjoying every moment of it. When he drew away, she couldn't stop the whisper that escaped her lips.
" No, don't.." Haldir gazed into her eyes, as if trying to see into her mind. "What was that beloved elfling? Don't.. What?" he glanced sideward. "Stop?" Turning sharply back, catching her eyes again, Haldir could see the effect of his words. "Is that right? Don't stop? Is it possible that you took as much pleasure from that kiss as I did?" His laugh was sweet in Elemmire's ears. "Here's a side of you I've never seen, elfling sweet, you should show it more often." Haldir released Elemmire's wrists, waiting for her to move. She didn't. "I take it that you won't fight me again?" Haldir questioned. As though she had just been awoken from a dream, Elemmire stirred and moved over to the side of the talan. Haldir watched her closely. It seemed as though a fight was going on inside of her. He smiled. She was as good as his.
Looking out through the leaves into the night, Elemmire struggled to control her emotions. She could not understand why she had enjoyed his kiss so much. She hated him, or at least she had only moments ago. A feeling had stirred up inside her when his lips caressed her neck. She did not understand what was wrong with her. She tried to comprehend why he had such an effect on her. Deep inside she yearned for his touch again. She wanted him to kiss her again. To be enveloped by his arms and surrender to him. She suddenly realised that she was gently feeling the place on her neck where he had tasted her sweet flesh. Her mind was a jumble of emotions. She was so confused. She had wanted to kill him, or maim him at the least. In her mind she pictured Haldir. His piercing grey eyes that saw past her defenses and into her soul. His proud cheekbones and tender lips. The strong, muscular arms that could control her every move. His powerful legs toned perfectly. A potent wave of emotion almost brought her to her knees. Her desire was too strong to be mastered. Her will was too feeble to fight for control. Passion took hold of Elemmire.
Haldir came up behind her placing his hands around her waist. He was delighted when no protest came from Elemmire. He rested his head on her neck, his cheek against hers. His right hand moved lower, much to the pleasure of Elemmire. A warm feeling started to spread from the spot where his hand rested. It was the most powerful feeling that Elemmire had ever experienced. It was euphoric and like wine, it went straight to her head. She felt like she was falling from the heavens. Relaxing in his arms, Elemmire let Haldir take her weight. Her right hand found its way around his neck, her fingers gently tangling in his hair. Her other hand, unheeded, rested on his thigh. Turning to face Haldir, she felt a little cloud of uncertainty beginning to form in her mind. However, when Haldir kissed her, desire destroyed this feeble emotion and took control. This kiss was more passionate than the first. After some time, Haldir stopped and inhaled deeply. Looking deep into her eyes, he saw his desire reflected. As the moon beamed strongly on the talan, Elemmire surrendered to Haldir and her desire.
Startled by the look in his eyes, Elemmire jumped to her feet. Suddenly everything became clear to her. "Why did you bring me here?" Flames danced in her eyes. "You know why." Elemmire cut him off.
