...:: Get Mine, Get Yours ::...
More time passed as nights filled with passionate sex underneath the
sheets in Haldir's talan. During the day, everything remained the
same. Haldir and Buffy would only appear as friends and nothing more.
So, it appeared to Rumil and Orophin that Haldir was loosing the bet,
so they took it upon themselves to try and woo her
themselves. Buffy would indulge them and eat at picnics with one at a
time, or boat ride with another a different time.
"Brother, I am seeing her! I'm sure that she will succumb to my
advances and welcome me to her bed." At this ridiculous statement,
Haldir smiled, close to hysterical laughter. "You think so?" Now,
probably, would've been a good time to break it to his brothers that
he had already won but for some reason the words couldn't escape his
lips. "I know it to be so, brother!" Rumil hit Orophin's shoulder.
"No! She likes me, I heard it from her very mouth!" The two began to
skwabble about it constantly until Haldir could bare it no more and
decided it was a perfect time to slip away from the two. He decided to
go look for Buffy, curious to see who she was with. Why does it
matter? She had said that she didn't want a commitment. How this
bothered Haldir so, but he couldn't admit it. He chuckled to himself.
Love? Yeah right!
"Quel re, Haldir O' Lorien." Buffy greeted him with a hesitant
voice. His appearance always stunned her. "Quel amrun, Buffy O'
Rivendell!" She laughed as he tripped over himself, running up to her.
He reminded her of someone. Oh yes, Angelus. How she remembered him
all to well. He, after all, had been her secret Angel. But that was a
long time ago and now was not the time for reflections. She felt that
she had to be near him now... The temptation his body called out to
her, wanted to meet with hers, she felt it. She pulled him to the side
roughly. "Here... put your hands on my waist. Now." There was no
argument as he did exactly as she told him.
"I want your skin up against mine, right now!" She began undressing
him, the gap between them was thin and the line was the clothes. Buffy
needed to feel him right now, grief was overwhelming. She pulled him
face down, plunging her tongue deep into his throat, trying to forget
the images that flashed through her mind. Jumping up onto him, she
wrapped her legs on him, sliding his leggings down so that he would be
throbbing against her. Thrusting her hips, the thoughts sprung to life
ever more clearer. She groaned in frustration, but to Haldir's ears it
sounded like a moan in ecstacy.
As they moved together in a tight rythmn Haldir began to realize that
her eyes remained shut. "Buffy?" Her eyes opened and widened in shock.
He could see the clear emotion etched on her face. It panged his heart
deeper than she knew. She bit her lip and as he came in her, she
jumped off as if nothing happened. He watched her walk off to catch up
with a few of the other Galadhrim who were awaiting her presence. This
hurt him so, for it was just a casual thing that just occured.
Realizing his feelings, he began to mourn for the relationship which
he knew he'd never receive from her. She was too hard to read. She
wanted him for his body, not for who he was and this disturbed him
greatly. Not just because of the 'sex' part, but because this was the
only woman he had ever felt anything for besides lust! Scary.
That night, Haldir awaited Buffy within his bedroom. Right on time, he
mused as she entered the room and made her way over to him quietly. He
stood up to meet her as she began to plant a kiss on him, which he
dodged. He noticed how she shrugged it off as if it were an accident,
and attempted again gaining the same result. "What are you doing?" His
eyes lowered. "This is going to end now." Cocking her head to the side
her expression became that of something he had not expected. She knew
he would do this, now she played along. "Why? Don't you want to do
this anymore?" He shook his head trying to read her now. Her face was
impassive as usual. "I cannot do this successfully anymore, Buffy. I
have failed with the first attempt, the same way I fail to conquer you
on the battle field. I'd always loose to you." Now, he could see a
clear pain of a shadow cross through her eyes. "Oh! I guess now you've
lost the bet then?"
Buffy grew tired of this! She felt a closeness with Haldir that she
had not felt before and it angered her having been told earlier that
day by Rumil that she was a mere bet in his eyes! "Do not act so
surprised, Haldir my dear." His expression became blank as his eyes
lowered themselves at her feet. "Go on, go tell your brothers how you
conquered me. Tell them how yo--" Her voice cracked as tears began
forming in her eyes, a lump in her throat. "Buffy, I--" She pushed him
hard. "So you deny it? How can you deny it...."
A pain stabbed at his heart and soul like a thousand knives. "I do not
deny it, but I have come to know you and I've dropped the wager." A
smug expression crossed her face. "Yes, just like you will tell him
what a prize I am." Through squinted eyes, it dawned on him. One of
his brothers must have told her! How else could she know? "Who told
you?" It was more of a demand than a question. "Rumil and Orophin."
Now that was strange. It was their bet too, if they were trying to win
her heart over, why would they reveal such information?
"Today, in the woods, why did you walk away so fast?" Buffy pretended
not to hear this as she quickly walked over to the door but Haldir
rushed to stop her. "Answer the question." She frowned, pursing her
lips together in defiance. "Fine. I rushed away because I didn't want
anyone to see you and I together." She saw him nod. "And why was this?
Are you ashamed to have people know that you are 'with' me?" She
sneered. "Oh, right! I forgot that it was because I'm so in love with
you." She pretended to play it off as if that weren't really the case,
but she could see clearly that he didn't buy a single word. "Do you?"
It became clear. He must know his brothers aweful well to see right
through her lies.... Either that or he has thought about this way too
much.
"Do you?" Her question rang in his ears over and over. "Yes." It was a
simple answer. Straight forward and such, which was exactly what Buffy
did not expect so it threw her off-guard. "You love me?"
