Disclaimer: You and I both know I do not own Thranduil or anything else LOTR related.. They all belong to the great and powerful Tolkien (no relation to the great and powerful OZ). Taylor belongs to me, and I wish I belonged to Thranduil...

Brazgirl: I went and read the story you mentioned "Only if you love me" And if I didn't already Love Thranduil I would after reading that.
Cara Mia: Glorfindel does and always will have a place in my heart, right after Thranduil. LoL I will tell you that I do have plans for him within the next few chapters but he will get worse before he gets better (don't worry nothing too bad)

Chapter 7.
Thranduil took in the scene before him. Taylor was seated on the floor with her back to the wall. Her knees pulled up in front of her. Legolas sat in front of her. His hands resting gently on her knees. Both were looking at him. He might have come to the wrong conclusion if the concern in Legolas' eyes had not been evident. Thranduil knew his son well enough to know that if he was concerned then he had good reason to be.
Taylor Knew that Thranduil had heard her last comment. She also could tell he meant to question her about it. She just hoped she had enough strength and will power to to keep from telling him.
"What is the meaning of this?"Thranduil's voice echoed across the room. Both Legolas and Taylor shivered. "Legolas?" Thranduil turned first to his son.
"I do not know father for she has told me nothing." Legolas looked from Thrnaduil to Glorfindel but did not say anything more.
"Leave us." In the short time that Tyalor had been there it had always amazede her how Thranduil could make a command seem like a request. And how everyone just did as they were told.
"Tell him, Mellonamin (My friend)" Legolas whispered into her ear before he placed a gentle kiss on her cheek. " Like I, he will not allow this to happen again."
Legolas was gone before Taylor had a chance to reply. She had seen the look Legolas had given Glorfindel.
"You as well." Thanduil had turned to Glorfindel. Taylor wanted him to say something, silently dared him to. He must of seen this in her eyes for he gave her a look before he turned and walked out of the room.
Thranduil slowly made his way to where Taylor was sitting. Taking the place where Legolas had sat only a few minutes before.
" I'm not gonna say anthing"Taylor's eyes met his. "So don't even bother asking." Thranduil remained silent as he took both her hands in his, kissing each one.
"Perhaps I only wish to make you feel better." Thranduil chose his words carefully. He knew from experience how to get someone to reveal the truth.
" Rightnow I don't think you can." Taylor winced slightly as he reached over and touch her cheek where she had been slapped.
"You doubt my abilities?" Taylor almost laughed at his question. She normally would of taken up the challenge but felt that now it would only prove Glorfindel right.
" Only your intensions."She had replied before she could stop herself. The look on Thranduil's face told her she had just revealed what he had wanted to know.
" What else had been said about my Intensions." It was not meant to be a question. It had been only a small amout of information but it had given Thranduil an idea of what had been said.
"Nothing, forget it I did not mean to...."Taylor was cut off as his lips was pressed against hers. She wanted to pull back to break the kiss as she felt his push his tongue passed her lips. A soft whimper sounded from her as he cupped each side of her face, holding her in place.
" Tell me." Taylor was breathing hard when he finally pulled back. She shook her head as a reply only to have him pull her back for an even deeper more passionate kiss.
"Don't do this." She pleaded softly. She could already feel her body responding to him and could only hope he did not notice this.
" You did not deny me last night" Thranduil's kiss had moved to her neck. He could feel how she f ought not to give in. The desire was in her eyes yet she still hesitated.
"Last night I had not been told I was merely a plaything." Taylor was surprised as she pushed him back. The anger in her began to build as everything glorfindel said had come back to her.
" You will tell me who said this." Thranduil's tone was unmistakable. He was giving her no choice.
"Does it matter?" She stood up with him and faced him. Her anger was directed at the wrong one but she could not seem to hold it in.
" Yes"Thranduil growled as he took a step closer to her." Regardless of what some might believe I am not in the habbit of taking just anyone into my bed." Taylor stepped aside as he reached out to take her hand.
" Then prove it." The look on his face was priceless
"Mani?" (What?) Thranduil wondered if she had lost her mind. He was king and it was not in need for him to prove anything.
"You heard me, If what you say is true and I am more then just a plaything to you. I want you to prove it." She locked her eyes with his. She wondered if he would question her about how she knewe what he had said.
" Tell me." Thranduil raised and eyebrow,smiling inwardly as he saw her shiver."How do you propose I do such a thing?" Taylor's almost gave in right there. The fact that he might be considering this was a goos start in her eyes.
" That is something you will have to figure out, My lord" She bowed slightly, hearing him growl as she turned and walked away. She had not expected to get far when he was suddenly in front of her.
" I will play this game Taylor" He ran a finger along her jaw." For now" He added
" Then what?" She had barely managed to get the words out as he gently brsuhed his lips against hers.
" Then I will take what is mine."He growled as he suddenly kissed her. Taylor grabbed his robes. It was all she could do to keep from falling over as her knees seemd to give out.
Thranduil seemed to now the effect he had on her and oulled back with a smirk. He chuckled softly as he placed as kiss on her forehead then stepped aside to allow her to pass
"wait."He held her arm stopping her from going any further." Who did this?"
" Like I said before I will..."He hld up his hand to silence her. She was getting really tired of him doing that.
"either you tell me now or later is no matter, I sahll find out" Taylor still had the feeling that Legolas knew more then he had said and if so he was sure to tell his father.
" Keep your friends close Thranduil Taylor opened the door to find both Legolas and Glorfindel satnding before her. " Not all of them are as they seem" She glared at Glorfindel as she passed him by. This had not gone unnoticed by Thranduil.
Glorfindel was never one to allow such an insult. This mere mortal would not get the best of him. HE met her glare with one of his own as his hand rested on the tilt of his sword. A movement to his left caught his attention as he saw that Legolas as well had his hand on his sword while watching for Glorfindel's next move.
" I shall deal with this, my Son" Thranduil growled as he placed a hand on Legolas's arm. Taylor winked at Glorfindel as she lonked her arm with Legolas'.
"Uuma ma'ten' rashwe, ta tuluva a'lle. ( Do not look for trouble, It will come to you) Glofindel growled. Taylor had no idea what he had said but it had not sounded very friendly. Legolas she could tell was using everything he had not to react, she felt his arm tighten around hers.
"Glorfindel."She turned in time to see Thranduil pull Glorfindel roughly into the room. They both had turned back to look at her.
".What?"He growled, his look one of disgust. She could think of only one thing to say to him. She may not know very much in Elven but she had always remembered this one
"Auta miqula orqu" Glorfindel once again reached for his sword as Legolas pulled Taylor out of harms way and leading her outside.
Glorfindel growled as he was suddenly thrown to the floor. He was one of few who knewe of Thranduil's strength when provoked.
You have one chance to explain this" Thranduil growled in anger.
"A mortal Thranduil?" Glorfindel got to his feet slowly " That is all she is, all she will ever be. Why do you lower yourself?" Glorfindel's question was answer as Thranduil's fist connected with his jaw.
" Who I chose to spend my time with is of no ones concern save my own" Thranduil wondered why his friend had suddenly changed. He had never known Glorfindel to be this way.
" Tell me my friend, What would Oropher say of this?" Glorfindel glared at the Elf king.
"My father is long dead Glorfindel and I warn you not to not again bring him into this." Thranduil was close to losing any control he had.
"He would have your head for this"Glorfindel ignore the warning
"And I shall have yours if you attempt this again."Thranduil brought himself up against Glorfindel."There will be no further warning." Glorfindel saw the anger flash through Thranduils eyes as they both glared at one another.
Thranduil watched as Glorfindel turned at walked off. He could only hope thing would not go any further then they already had.
" Keep an eye on your plaything my friend." Glorfindel called over his shoulder, He knew he did not need to face the king to make his point known...
"Perhaps even on your own son."
