Chapter 6.

Taylor found herself alone when she woke up. With a feeling of disappointment She pulled herself out of bed.
" He could of at least stayed till I woke up." She pouted as she slipped into her bath robe. Looking around the room she could not help but laugh as she spotted the dress she had been wearing the night before. It was now laying across a small table in the far corner of the room. From the way it looks it had not been placed t here either, thrown perhaps.
" Someone had been in a hurry" She commented with a smile
" My father is not known to have Patients." Taylor spun around at the sound of his voice.
" You enjoy sneaking up on me don't you?" She glared then suddenly remembered what she
wearing.
" I was ordered to bring you breakfast." Legolas chuckled as he watched her cross her arms in front of her. Her robe did not cover much and he had gotten a good view before he had made his presence known.
" you were ordered?" Taylor gave him a confused look " Why? Does Thranduil not have servants for that job?" She wondered about the look he suddenly gave her.
" It is my punishment." He replied calmly but the look in his eyes t old Taylor he was not at all happy about
'Bringing me food is punishment?" She asked mow more curious then ever.
"Nay" Legolas shook his head
"ok then why are you being punished?" She followed him as he set down the tray of food.
" Apparently my father's chief advisor does not approve of having his daughter seduced."Legolas shrugged as Taylor burst out laughing. "Nor did he like the fact of seeing her being seduced" He added
"Ahh I get it, you got caught with your pants down with the daughter of your fathers friend" Legolas nodded making Taylor laugh again.
" My father was less then pleased" Legolas told her.
"Ohh right and I just bet your father was so innocent when he was younger." Taylor rolled her eyes.
"That is doubtful."Legolas chuckled
"So how long is this so called punishment going to last?" She felt sorry for Legolas. It could not have always been easy to have Thranduil as a father. Even in the little time she had been there she could see how difficult he could be. She did however also see that his attitude in public was quite different from how he was when behind closed doors.
"Till my father says otherwise." Legolas shrugged.
Taylor walked over to where he was standing. She glanced quickly at the food he had brought then smiled up at him.
" Punishment or not I still think it's sweet." She placed a gentle kiss on his cheek.
Legolas suddenly pulled her in front of him and captured her mouth his. He used her surprised gasp to his advantage and slid his tongue between her parted lips. It had been his turn to be surprised when he felt her give in and respond to his kiss. With a moan he pulled back, pushed her hair back behind her shoulder then without a word he left the room.
"As if I wasn't already confused" She stared at the closed door.

Taylor had only picked at the food on the tray. Her appetite seemed to have been lost since she had arrived. She had yet to change into the dress she had been given. It's not that she did not like it or anything but she would rather be wearing a pair of levis and a tank top.
"I am to show you to the bathing room" A soft voice from behind her made her jump. She wondered if it was some written rule that all Elves must sneak up on their guests.
"Perfect" Taylor began to follow the lovely Elf " Perhaps I'll slip and hit my head then drown" The servant made no signs to reply or that she had even heard her. " With my luck I'd wake up in the middle of Mordor completely naked." She continued not caring if she was talking to herself or not
"I'd probably have to learn an Ork lap dance for Lutz and his friends." She stopped just before she had walked into the Elf before her.
"It is just beyond these doors" Taylor nodded "I will return in a little while." She was gone before Taylor had a chance to say anything.
"well thank you I look forward to you sneaking up on me again" Taylor commented sarcastically as she entered the room. Nothing could of compared her to the sight before her.
"We meet again." His husky voice echoed across the room.
Taylor could only manage a slight nod. Standing within a few feet from her was none other then Glorfindel. That alone would have made anyone nervous but seeing as how he was naked made Taylor briefly forget her own name.
" So you are Thranduil's latest plaything"Glorfindel's eyes traveled over her." Do you have a name?" Taylor had been forcing hey eyes to stay focused on his face. His comment had caught her off guard making her wonder of all Elves in Power had big heads. The instant she thought it she looked down and wished she hadn't. He was quite impressive.
"I am no ones plaything." She finally managed to say once she found her voice.
" you like the other will earn in time" Glorfindel smiled. " You keep Thranduils attention for now but only cause you are new to him, a challenge perhaps but soon he will be tired of you and will find a new toy to play with." Taylor's opinion of this Elf was changing quickly. She might have been able to take it as a friendly warning if it were not for the knowing smile he was giving her.
"You don't know what you are talking about." Her voice seemed steady enough but she was sure he picked up on her uncertainty.
"I know more then you would believe child." Glorfindel reached for a towel and wrapped it around his waist. " Thranduil had played this game for many year, you are no different. He will take want he needs then rid himself of you." Taylor glared at him. Her defenses now locked in place
"That is not true." She snapped at him. His smile only widened.
" You are nothing more to him other then a good time in bed" Taylor dug her nails into her hand to keep from slapping the Elf Lord. " Perhaps if you are real good he will keep you around longer."
Taylor fought to keep her anger under control, getting into a fight with Glorfindel was not on the top of her list of thing she'd like to do.
"I Do not care what you say" Taylor was lying and they both knew it.
" I think you do" Glorfindel took a step closer " Perhaps I will be nice enough and show you how to be real good" Taylor cringed as he placed his hand roughly on her hip. " Though I doubt you'd be enough to satisfy me"
Taylor knew she had been pushed past her limit when her hand connected with Glorfindels face. Her anger beyond control and even the dark glare in Glorfindels eyes did not make her back down.
"You are a feisty one" Glorfindel's grip was still on her hip. She was suddenly pushed back against the wall. " Perhaps I will have a taste of what you gave Thranduil."
"That will not be as easy as you think." Taylor pushed away from him but had only managed to get a few steps before he had her in his grasp once again. She whimpered when she felt the sting of his hand upon her cheek.
"If you were this feisty with Thranduil it is no wonder he is interested." Glorfindel roughly grabbed her by the neck and forced her head forward as he captured her mouth. His pained growl echoed across the room when Taylor's knee made contact with his groin.
Taylor pushed past him as he doubled over in obvious pain. She knew she stood no chance to beat him. He was used to going up against Balrogs for fun. Although she doubted any of them ever kneed him in the nuts.
"Be lucky that's all you got" She called over her shoulder. She knew he could catch up to her in no time." I'm sure when I tell Thranduil..." The smile he gave her cause her to stop just short of opening the door.
" He knows I am here" Glorfindel locked his eyes with hers. His smile plastered on his face. He could see the hurt look in her eyes.
Taylor could only stare at him. She did not want to believe him. His face showed no signs if he was lying or not. His eyes dark with anger but nothing else.
It was when she found him suddenly beside her that she realized that he had only meant to distract her, he had succeeded.
" He would never allow this" Taylor tried to pull out of his grasp. She yelped when he tightened the grip on her arm.
" Perhaps not" Glorfindel growled " I care not." His kiss again hard and demanding. With an evil smile and a wink he left the room. Leaving her to her own thoughts.

Legolas was the one who found her some hours later. After her encounter with Glorfindel Taylor had vanished, Thranduil had almost everyone looking for her.
" Taylor?" She was sitting in a dark corner of a room that had not been used in some time.
"Go away" She commanded. Her voice sounding empty.
Legolas ignored the command and slowly sat in front of her. He saw the red mark on her cheek but said nothing of it for the time being.
"It is obvious someone hurt you and I intend to find out who. Right now however I will tend to you." He wiped the tears that had escaped her." I will get you whatever you need." His eyes never left hers.
"The only thing I need or want right now Legolas" She looked over his shoulder as Thranduil came into view. "Is to just go home."

Thranduil's eyes locked with hers as he heard her comment. Legolas noticed Glorfindel stood behind his father. The look on the face of the legendary Balrog slay was unmistakable. He had done this......

(Hides from die hard Glorfindel fans) Don't kill me please. I needed a bad guy for the story and decided Glorfindel would make a good one. He really is one of my favorites so I won't make him be too evil...maybe.. now please be so kind and leave a review.

AF.
