Chapter 12 ~ Waiting

Legolas went to Mirra's fleet. When he arrived he let out a heavy sigh but he was determined not to tell her of the news unless it was absolutely necessary. He walked in and found it quiet so he figured Mirra was asleep so he quietly went over to the window and gazed at the stars for a minute or to. He could not wait to see her. Even though it was only a day it felt like a week to him.

As a matter of fact Mirra was not asleep she was in her white silk nightdress sitting at her window in her room doing the exact same thing. Legolas went to her bedroom to glance at her while she was asleep. Sometimes he even wished that he could just watch her sleep forever she was so beautiful.

He did not want to wake her because they needed rest because they were going to have days of work ahead of them after all they had a wedding to plan. He wanted to marry her the day after he proposed cause he loved her so much and nothing mattered more to him than her but Mirra wanted a wedding that would be beautiful and enchanting. Indeed it would have been even if it was soon but she wanted it to be a night that would live through peoples memories for all time.

He smiled at the very thought of how excited she would be while planning the wedding but as late as it was he thought she would be asleep no matter how excited she was. As he made his way to the bedroom he glanced at the bed and did not see her in the bed but by the window.

He smiled at the fact that he to was just doing the same thing. He quietly walked up behind her and made a trail of kisses from her shoulder to her neck. She had no idea what she was doing to him. He so desperately wanted to ravage her right then and there but he would try his best to control it.

She turned around and smiled and they locked in a feverish kiss. She to desperately wanted to make love to him right then and there but something was bothering her. She struggled to make her self stop. "Legolas I've missed you." She said as he made another attempt to ravage her. "What was so important that you had to be taken from me for the whole day?"She said as she laid another sweet kiss on him.

Oh how he hated it when she did this. Whenever she did this he felt vulnerable like he could do or tell her anything. "Father just wanted to update me on what was going on." he said as he started to kiss every part of her exposed skin.

"Are you sure nothing is wrong Legolas?" Mirra said as she stopped him for a moment to look him in the eye. She could see the passion burning in his eyes. She hated to interrupt the moment but she was worried. For a day or so she almost felt like there was something in the air and it wasn't pleasant but she laid it aside and did not think on it that much.

"I would never let anything happen to you." He said as he moved a stray hair from her face. She saw his face and her knees buckled and she gave in to his sweet gestures and the two went into another passionate kiss. "Legolas if anything ever happened to you I would surely perish you are my will to live." She said as she caressed his face lovingly.

Then she gave him and mischievous look. She walked over by the window and started to take down her hair. Then she stood in front of her mirror and moved all her hair to one side exposing her very low back night gown which exposed a lot of her skin. She knew what she was doing to him and she loved every minute.

He walked over and said "Here let me help you with that my lady." He then picked up the brush and started gently brushing her hair. She closed her eyes as he lightly ran his hands over her hair after every time he brushed her hair. He then softly put the brush down and ran his fingers through her hair one more time.

He then leaned on her to where his body was touching hers and he could feel her tremble. He then lightly whispered in her ear " I want you my love." Then she slowly turned around and immediately drew him into a sweet kiss.

She then whispered in his ear " You may want me but I need you." She said as she She started to lift his shirt and as she lifted it she made a trail of kisses that eventually led to his very inviting lips. As she was thumbing his breeches he was sliding the straps to her very thin nightgown down. He loved to touch her silky skin. He swore it was the softest thing he ever felt in all his existence.

Once they were both completely undressed Legolas picked her up and headed toward the bed. She looked at his face and she no longer worried why he had left that day. He laid her down on the bed and slowly started to touch and caress her body like had never touched her before. Oh how she wished that this night could last forever.

Every touch every little kiss sent an uncontrollable urge over her, which she so desperately tried to control. It was hard but she wanted him to enjoy this. That night had been wonderful and sweet. Once they had touched that ultimate bliss they laid there holding one another.

Mirra was the first to fall asleep. Legolas stayed up a while longer just stroking her head and watched her sleep till finally the tiredness took over him. He fell asleep thinking life could get no better than it was now. It was for lack of a better term. . . Perfect.
