Chapter 3.

True to his word Thranduil did have Legolas come for her. By that Time Taylor had yet to calm down. She was more then mad at herself for falling into Thranduil's trap.
" Dinner is about to be served" Legolas cautiously entered the room. His father had warned him that he might find Taylor to be a little angered. He had to said why.
"I am not hungry" Taylor who was still sitting in the chair didn't even bother to look at him.
" My father insists" He gave her a friendly smile.
"Your father, Legolas can shove dinner right up his royal..." She stopped and looked over at the gorgeous elf standing just a few feet away. She was mad at Thranduil and at herself, there was no reason she needed to snap at Legolas. Instead maybe he'd be willing to help.
" I need to ask you something" She stood slowly and walked over to him
" I'll be more then willing to answer and question If I can"
"uh huh" She nodded slowly biting her bottom lip. She wondered if she could get him to help.
"I need to know what gets to your father the most" She wished he didn't raise his eyebrow like that. It made him look too damn sexy.
" May I ask why?" Legolas was more then curious as to why she would want to anger his father. Taylor had expected him to ask that. After taking a deep breath she explain the whole situation to him.
"It's not funny Legolas" Taylor glared at him, waiting till he managed to stop laughing
" It is not what he did to you that I find amusing, but the fact that you wish to retaliate" He chuckled softly as he offered her his arm.
" wouldn't you?" Taylor hesitated before linking her arm with his.
" It will not be as simple as you hope." The had begun walking slowly towards the dining hall
" I know that but I have to do something" She sighed softly
" Perhaps the best way is not to trap him but to let him know exactly what you are doing" Taylor stopped walking and gave Legolas a confused look
"Legolas if I wanted to hear someone talking in circles I'd go see Gandalf" Legolas laughed. He was really starting to like her.
" My father despises above all to lose." Legolas lowered his voice so only she could hear him
" So how do I make him lose?" At this point Taylor was willing to try anything.
" Have him believe he has no effect." Taylor understood what he was saying but she also knew that it was easier said then done. Thranduil already knew he had an effect on her. She mentioned this to Legolas as they entered the dinning hall.
" Fuck me sideways!" Taylor has stopped dead in her tracks. The halls was unlike anything she had ever seen. She could find no words to describe the beauty of this room.
" That would prove to be interesting." She looked over at Legolas who again had that eyebrow raised
"What?. Oh I didn't mean that I meant" She looked around the room again. " I was just not expecting this."
Legolas nodded in understanding. He shook his head to rid himself of the image her comment had given him. If only one comment like that from her had effected him this much he was curious as to how it would effect his father. Leading her towards the table where his father now sat he showed her to her seat which happened to be beside Thranduil.
" I am pleased to see you came" Thranduil smiled at her. She almost reached over to slap it right off his face.
" Not yet I haven't but the night is still young" She bit back. Thranduil looked at her but said nothing. Legolas looked away to his his smile.

Taylor remained silent throughout the meal. She could feel Thranduil watching her but would not turn to look at him. She was afraid that if she made eye contact with him then he would know just being beside him had an effect on her. Instead she chose to watch Legolas.
"Do you plan to avoid me all night." Thranduil commented after the meal was finished. She had no choice now to look at him.
" What if I said yes?" She dared to ask
"You would not be able to" He smiled, His eyes locked with hers in a silent challenge
"Why's that?" she asked calmly even though her insides felt like the were being pulled in every direction.
" I know what effect I have on you." His reply was just as calm as hers had been. She cursed him.
"Do you? Are you sure about that?" She instantly saw the change in his eyes. She had obviously struck a nerve, Legolas had been right. She dared a quick glance at the prince and almost laughed when he winked at her.
" I did not imagine how you reacted earlier," Thranduil sounded as if he was about to growl at her.
" No you didn't. I admit that I was effect by what you did but it ended as soon as you left the room." The look he had in his eyes almost made her run. He was watching her with dark eyes.
" I find that hard to believe" Taylor shrugged her shoulders, smiling innocently at him.
" No everyone is going to just give into you just cause you want them to" She looked away. She did not want to see his reaction to that comment. She could tell by the look Legolas was giving her that she hat hit yet another nerve with Thranduil.
" You were more t hen willing" She turned to face him Smiling as another idea came to mind. She got up and went to stand next to Thranduil. Leaning over to be able to whisper into his ear, She wanted no one else but him to hear this.
" I have to admit that it would of felt great to let you have your way with me, to have you just rip my clothes off and nail me hard against the wall" She purposely kissed the tip of his ear lightly. Smiling when she saw him tighten his grip on the arms of his chair. She brought her hand up to lightly trace the outline of his ear.
" imagine what it might of felt like if you had not stopped, I might of even been persuaded to have a little taste." Thranduil groaned at the last part.
Taylor should of known he would not have let her get away with that one. She had turned to walk away when he had suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her back. She landed in his lap and could already feel how hard he was.
"You should not play games with me" He growled. Any reply Taylor may have had was silenced as his mouth came down hard , His lips almost bruising hers. She had no choice but to part her lips for him. She held back a whimper as his tongue invaded the inside of her mouth. Every movement inside her mouth she felt deep inside her. Another whimper forced back as he deepened the kiss even more, making her ache for him to touch her.

It was the pain of her nails digging into the flesh of her hand that made her pull back. It took everything she had to keep her real reaction hidden. It would be even harder to walk away now.
" Well that was different" She smiled sweetly. Her heart threatened to burst out of her chest. How she managed to find her voice she would never know.
" Is that all you have to say?" Thranduil breathed deeply, The words sounded forced even to him.
" Thank you?" She hoped she sounded calm. She was anything but calm. Her insides felt as if they were on fire, She was feeling the effects in every inch of her body. The fact that she could also feel his erection pushing up against her did not help.
Pushing herself up off his lap she forced her legs to work, to walk away. She could feel him watching her as she walked over to Legolas. She chose to ignore the raised eyebrow thing again and linked her arm with his.
"Air!" Was all she managed to say.
Legolas held back his laughter as he guided her out onto the balcony. Pulling her off to the side and out of his fathers view.
Taylor almost collapsed the instant there were out of sight. Her legs would no longer work and all she could do was fight to catch her breath.

Thranduil gripped the sides of the chair so hard that he felt the pain all the way up his arms. He watched as she walked away and he was powerless to stop her. All he could do was watch as Legolas lead her outside. His breathing hard and deep. It was meant to elicit a reaction out of her instead it had left him more hard then he'd ever been before. His erection now painful and all he could think about was how he longer just wanted her.. He needed her. He growled as he suddenly stood up. Heading in the same direction she had gone....

"You will be mine"
