Chapter Four: Kissing a Fool (a.k.a. The Truth Comes Out)
"I fascinate him", Kristin thought to herself as she slipped the dress off her shoulders and climbed into bed. She had never slept in the nude before, but it seemed that Calenia had thrown her old shirt and sweatpants away while she was bathing. Kristin snuggled under the covers and was well on her way to dreamland when she heard a rapping at her door. She sighed and slowly rose from the bed, taking the sheets with her for cover-up. Answering the door she was surprised to see Legolas standing before her with what looked like a bottle of wine.
"Don't you sleep?" Kristin asked, knowing it had to be going on 11:00 or 12:00 at night.
"Elves do not sleep", Legolas smiled inviting himself into the room. Kristin closed the door behind him.
"Then why do you have beds?" she asked puzzled.
"For other reasons." Legolas grinned. He then blushed once he saw the realization flow across Kristin's face.
"Ohhhh..", she smiled. Then she too began to blush just thinking about it. Changing the subject Legolas handed her the wine bottle.
"I thought you might like to talk. Get to know each other better."
Kristin couldn't help but giggle. No guy had ever been so sweet to her without some silly reason behind it, like wanting a ride to work or looking to borrow some money for a date, with another girl of course. She accepted the bottle and went to her nightstand to retrieve some glasses. As she was pouring the wine she felt a warm presence behind her and realized that Legolas had moved to watch her. Turning, she handed him the glass.
"Oh, I don't drink. I mainly brought it for you." Legolas refused the glass then smiled down at her. Not wanting to drink alone she placed both glasses on tabled and smiled back at him.
"You don't sleep, you don't drink. What exactly do you do?" she asked amused.
"Would you rather me tell you", Legolas moved forward slightly, shrinking the space between them, "or show you?"
Kristin swallowed heavily. Was this really happening? Before she knew it he moved his hands to rest on her hips. Forgetting about everything else, she moved her hands to caress his shoulders accidentally letting the sheet fall from her chest and exposing her front. She reached down quickly to lift it back up but was stopped when Legolas moved his arms, which were holding the sheet up, and let it fall to the floor. Now she was fully exposed and most likely as red as a tomato as well. Realizing that it was too late to cover-up she closed her eyes, waiting for the humiliating laugh or the groan of disgust. Instead she got a groan of approval.
"I've never seen anything so beautiful", he sighed as he returned his hands to her sides. Kristin slowly opened her eyes in time to see him moving forward and pressing his clothed body against her naked one. She sighed at the feeling and breathed in his scent, warm like the sun. Who cares if we only just met? This is fantastic! She felt his hand come up to cup her chin and raised her eyes to his. Soon their lips were touching in a kiss that would make Danielle Steele green with envy. If there were two things that Kristin wasn't all that experienced in it was sex and kissing. And at this rate she would be getting a lesson in both.
Legolas let his hands travel up her back and untied the knot she had made with the sheet. It fell to the floor again and this time Kristin didn't reach down to retrieve it. Her hands mirrored his, traveling over his back and feeling his muscles through his tunic. He pushed his tongue past her lips and searched her mouth as if it held something that he needed in order to survive. She moaned in satisfaction and began slowly sucking on his tongue, tasting a little bit of what seemed to be red wine. The liar. She smiled and continued to let his tongue play tonsil hockey with hers. Not knowing what else to do she reached down between them to massage the hard rise in his pants through the fabric. He moaned loudly and heavily causing vibrations on her tongue. Gyrating his hips in a circular movement he grabbed her butt to push them together, incidentally trapping her hand between them. Then, no sooner had it started then it stopped. They pulled apart, breathing heavily and both realizing that this was wrong. They didn't know each other long enough to go this far. Walking towards the door, Legolas turned and bowed his head.
"Goodnight. Sleep well." And with that he left. Heading to the door Kristin quickly shut it and turned to lean her back against it. A tear slowly krept down her cheek and she lowered her head.
"What a fool I am", she whispered, "He couldn't love me." And with that she went to the bed and cried herself to sleep.
