Chapter 2.

"This not fair" Taylor shouted as she again tried to open the door. She had woken up to find herself in some room. Some clothes had been placed on the chair beside the bed. She really had not wanted to put on the dress but seeing as her only other choice was to walk around in only a bathrobe she put it on anyway.
"I should of wished for a one way ticket and a bag of clothes"
"Are you in the habit of talking to yourself?" Taylor spun around to find none other then the king of arrogance himself standing there, She had not even heard him come in.
"Maybe: She saw his look. He really did not like the way she talked to him " Look I'm a little overwhelmed at the moment so if I seem a little cranky then just deal with it."
"And how do you propose I deal with it?"
" you're the king I'm sure even you can come up with something." She really had hoped he didn't take that as a challenge. " But nothing that includes, pain,torture,or having my head cut off"
"That does not leave much choice." For the first time Taylor suddenly found herself speechless. Judging by the smirk on Thranduil's face that had been his plan.
" I see you have found the clothes" He motioned towards the dress
" I take it I have you to thank for that then" She looked down at the dress then back to him
" Is it not to your liking?"
" I did not say that, it's just not what I am used to"
" Judging by the way you were dressed before" He looked at the bathrobe that was laying on the bed " It appears you are not used to much."
I Had been about to take a bath before I ended up here, A few minutes more and I might have been naked and wet" She bit back a laugh as she saw the look on his face. She smirked letting him know she had gotten the reaction she wanted.. Two could play at that game. They both remained silent as one of the maids had brought in some water. Taylor refused to be intimidated and kept her eyes locked with his until they were once again alone.

Thranduil had to admit he was intrigued. To this day he had met very few mortals and the ones he had met he had easily intimidated yet she did not appear to be. She was ill mannered and defiant. He was not known to be tolerant of such traits especially of uninvited guests. There was just something about her that had his interest peaked.
" You are not as intimidating as you think." Taylor could almost see the question in his eyes. He was not used to this sort of thing. Why would he be? How often does a half naked human show up in Mirkwood?
" Most other would disagree"
" Maybe they don't know you as well as they think"
" Yet you do?'
"No" She shook her head " I know a little about you and I am sure that there are people back home that know even more then I do, It's the Mystery that surrounds you that leaves most people intimidated."
For the first time since she got there Taylor took a good look at him. He definitely fit the role of king.. He did not resemble Legolas as much as she had thought he would.. Their eyes were the same but not much else. Thranduil had a more aged look to him.
Taylor would be one to agree with anyone who said Legolas was gorgeous but Thranduil had a look to him that all he had to do was look at her and it made her knees almost want to give out from under her.
She was to caught up in her thoughts about him that she had not noticed that he had moved, now stood directly in front of her.
"Yet you are not intimidated."
" I don't think there is a reason I should be" How she managed to say that with out stuttering was nothing short of a miracle. He may not have intimidated her before but standing this close to him was a different story. Only problem was that she was intimidated in all the wrong places and it was not fear.
She's read the books and seen all 3 movies, Legolas, Haldir and Elrond were among her favorites, She would be willing to get to now them extremely well. Thranduil however, just one look from him and she's willing to do him in public, twice during traffic.
"Perhaps I have yet to feel the need to intimidate you" Taylor almost fell over at the look her gave her as he said that. Suddenly having him intimidate her didn't seem all that bad. In fact she was sure she'd quite enjoy it.
"Maybe you are unable to intimidate me." That might have sounded more like a challenge if she hadn't had to clear her throat before saying it. The sudden heat she felt in her cheeks also did not help. To make matters worse he appeared to be very well aware of his effect on her. He seemed proud of it.
" I am quite capable of intimidating you." Thranduil's voice seemed somewhat deeper then before. He now stood no more 2 to inches from her. She had to grasp the sides of her dress to keep from reaching out and touching him. She was not going to give in to the temptation. She would not let him win, will not be so easily intimidated... ohh but how she wanted to be!.
" Perhaps I am prefer to be nice with you"
"ohh yeah you are well known for being a really softy" She managed to finally speak,:'
"Rest assured that at this moment there is nothing soft about me." He got the reaction he had hoped for. Taylor opened her mouth to say something but could only manage a soft whimper. She could not stop the image that had popped into her head. She was not sure she wanted to.
Thranduil's deep chuckle sounded almost evil even to his own ears. He was quite enjoying this little game. He had no intention of letting her win either. Her reaction had been the one he had hoped for, leaving him the perfect opportunity to bring it to the next level. Bringing his hand to her neck he slowly trailed it upwards, tilting her head back once he reached her face. He did not fail to notice her sudden shiver. Taking a step closer caused her to have to lean against him in support.
" It is obvious, my dear" he was whispering softly in her ear " that I can very easily intimidate you."
All Taylor could do was close her eyes. She had clearly underestimated this Elf. Even if she wanted to speak she could think of nothing to say. His hand was again trailing along her neck, the other holding tightly on her hair, not enough to bring pain but enough to hold her head back. She whimpered again when she felt him kiss her neck,
" I could have you now." She was not sure if he had been asking her or merely stating the obvious.
" Then why don't you" She managed to breath out. She felt him smile against her neck as he continued to place soft kiss. Suddenly he pulled back that she had almost fell over.
"Cause it is what you want." His smile had to be the most evil thing she had ever seen. She had walked right into it, He set out to prove that it was his game and he had managed to do just that.
" You fuck!" She was more mad at herself that at him but his damn smile was not helping. " you are the most arrogent,pig headed, pointy eared son of a ...."
"Dinner will be served soon " He held up his hand to silence her knowing it would only anger her more. " I suggest you be ready on time"
Taylor stood in total shock. Never before had she been manipulated so easily by anyone, Then again his was not anyone.. He was Thranduil.
" I'll send Legolas for you when dinner is ready," Had been his parting comment. Taylor silently swore revenge.. She was not sure how yet some way some how she would get him back for this....
