Chapter 4

Taylor and Legolas both had heard Thranduil's comment as he walks past them.
"You best stay out of his way for some time, he does not liked to be toyed with." Legolas turned to face her and was met with a look that could possibly make an orc stop and think.
"An you wait till now to tell me this?" She wondered about the intelligence of Mirkwood elves.
" I did not know you were going to let things go as far as they had." He replied in his own defense.
" Consider yourself lucky Elf-boy that I find you way to cute to be mad at." Taylor turned around and walked away. She was sure he would of cocked that eyebrow again and if he had then she would not be held responsible for her actions.
"Why here?" She wondered to herself "Why could I not have ended up in Lorien, or Rivendell?" She wondered what it be like to meet Haldir or his brothers. If legolas was much better looking in person then he was on TV then she could only imagine what Haldir would look like.
"I did not mean to anger you." She heard Legolas saying once he caught up to her, which had not been long since he is an Elf.
" you didn't" She shrugged. " now you father on the other hand" Legolas chuckled softly as he stop them both.
"My father had been known to bring out the worst and best in many, Yet he is not as bad as you think" Taylor could not help but smile at him and be thankful he didn't raise an eyebrow at her. She wondered if Thranduil could do the same with his eyebrow and for some reason that thought made her shiver.
"Legolas." The voice was unmistakable. They both turned to see Thranduil watching them.
"Father?" Legolas looked from Taylor then to his father
" I will take Taylor back to her room" Thranduil tone left no room for discussion and the younger elf had no other choice but to do as his father said.
" I can find my own way." Taylor told them both.
" I am sure you could" Thranduil commented " However I wish to talk to you"
" Talk or intimidate?" Taylor smiled as Legolas gave her a soft kiss on the cheek before he walked away leaving her alone with Thranduil. Which really did not bother her.
" Walk with me" Thranduil was now offering her his arm. She knew she should just nod and take his arm but she was never one to just do things the easy way.
" tell me is it that hard to ask instead of command someone to do something?" She almost fell over when Thranduil cocked an eyebrow.
" Will you please take a walk with me?" Thranduil finally asked after he had taken a few deep breaths.
"now was that so hard?" She accepted his arm and they had slowly started walking.
" Have you always been so challenging?" Thranduil lead them down the long halls. Taylor ha no idea where she was anymore
"Yes" He smiled at her response, he had expected her to deny it but pleased that she had not.
" I have been most curious as to how you arrived here." This time it was Taylor who stopped suddenly. How would she explain that one? She's not even sure she believed it herself.
" I can only promise to tell you that when I figure it out." He seemed to accept that answer
" until then I try not to make things too hard on you"
" you already did."Thranduil had replied before he could stop himself. By the smile that Taylor now was giving him he knew she had understood what he had meant.
" Well then I'd have to say my mission was accomplished. S small revenge for what you had done before that."
" I had done nothing more then give you a taste of what you wanted." His evil yet damn sexy smile was back
"Were you given lessons in arrogance as a child?" She could only glare at him. " what gave you the idea that it was something I wanted?"
" I am rarely mistaken in these things" Thranduil's eyes met hers and held them.
" well you are this time." She tried to sound convincing. She had no idea why she was denying it. She could see he did not believe her. She backed up when he stepped towards her and found herself pinned between him and the wall.
"you do not want me?" His hand trailing up her arm.
"no" She might have been more convincing if she had not squeaked out her answer.
" I do not believe you"Thranduil hooked a finger under her chin, lifting her head to face him" Perhaps you need to prove this."
Taylor had no chance of replying before his mouth covered hers. She tried to resist but soon lost. Whether at his persistence or her own weakness she melted into him. Allowing her lips to part giving him the entry had had demanded.

Taylor was lightheaded and weak kneed once the kiss ended. Had her eyes been opened she would of seen the smirk on Thranduil's face.
" Now tell me again how you don't want me." Thranduil challenged.
" You are the most arrogant Elf I have ever met" Taylor replied still trying to catch her breath.
" Other then Legolas what other Elf have you met?"Thranduil tilted his head and began to nip at her neck.
"shut up" Taylor has to force the words out. Her mind had gone almost completely blank the instant she felt his lips on her skin. She was losing control fast and if he kept this up she would be completely lost and at his command.
" I will give you want you desire" She shivered as he spoke softly. " If you admit you want me"
"Arrogant bastard." Her words followed by a soft whimper as he licked around her ear.
Her body was screaming out for her to admit it, to say those 3 words that would most likely bring her extreme pleasure unlike she had ever felt before.. Her pride kept telling her to keep her mouth shut. There was no doubt she wanted him but she wanted it to be on her terms and definitely not in some corridor up against a cold wall.
She had just been about to push him off when his mouth made contact with that one spot right behind her ear. Her knees gave out and she could not stop the soft gasp that had escaped....Thranduil smiled knowingly.
" You do not play fair" Taylor breathed out as he continued to pay attention to that spot.
" I know" He chucked as she had to lean against him for support. He planned to use her weak spot to his full advantage.
Taylor had to grip at he material of his sleeves as he ran his tongue over her ear slowly then back to the previous area. She had given up on trying to control her breathing. All she could feel now was the overwhelming need to feel him in other places.
" do you admit now that you want me?." Thranduil whispered into her ear softly. Taylor still trying to hold on to what little control she had left started to say no buy Thanduil had picked that exact moment on the weak spot behind her ear... her control flew right out the window.
"Yes" was all she could manage to day. She did not miss the moan that come from Thranduil as he suddenly claimed her mouth once more.

Taylor had seemed to have lost her voice. Only soft whimpers were all she could manage as he kissed her deeper then he had before. She gave a startled jump when his hand had reached up to begin to untie the laces to her dress...
" excuse me my lord" A very tiny and obviously nervous sounding voice came from behind them" A messenger from Rivendell has arrived"
" Tell them to wait"Thranduil growled
"Again I apologize but he said it was most urgent." The servant looked down not daring to meet Thranduil's eyes. Taylor saw the regret in Thranduil eyes when he turned back to look at her.
"We will continue this later." He let out a deep sigh as he turned and walked away. Taylor leaned against the wall hoping her breathing would soon return to normal.
"That is the second time that Elf walked away from me." She had said it mostly to herself but the young servant had heard her
"Please accept my apology" He bowed slightly. "Lord Glorfindel is not known for his patience"
"Who?" Taylor's head had shot up at the name.
"Lord Glorfindel"The servant repeated.
"Where?" Taylor had to see, needed to see. The movies had shown nothing of him and she had always wanted to see the famous elf lord. " Show me"
Taylor followed him to Thranduil's office, The door was slightly opened and she dared to peek in. All she could see was the back of his blonde hair.
"The hell with this" She could not pass this up. She would regret it if she did not take the chance to see him. Waiting for Thranduil to maybe introduce them had never crossed her mind.
Rushing into the room she managed to trip over her own feet and ended up falling.. She wondered why it had not hurt when she landed. It was then she noticed what had broken her fall.... Glorfindel.
