CH VI. Finder of a lost love
Aldaron and Undowen had been walking for a few hours now. Tall oaks covered the sky above their heads as they walked on the beaten path. They reached a field and walked through the tall grass. Aldaron could tell Undowen had her mind elsewhere as she stumbled a few times and he rushed to prevent her from falling. He was following her, looking back making sure it was safe. Suddenly, he stopped and decided to rest but she kept walking. Had she noticed he had stopped and continued her way? The first few minutes of silence had been uncomfortable but the last hours were unbearable.
'I should not have come to seek thee. It pains me to see thou unhappy.' Aldaron said loudly enough for her to hear.
She stopped and turned. -'Pardon me, for having said horrible words for your ears to hear as I spoke with my father'
-'I understand thy passion for that man to whom you bind yourself to. I have found the same love once and promised to never love again after her death but my heart needed passion. I've not found a woman who moved me to such an extent that I couldn't live without her until I met you. I have been watching you closely in silence since I saw in you near the house of Narond. You resent me and I think of you as an untamed beauty.'
Undowen stepped closer, with the messages her body was receiving, at the sound of his voice. She had gone under his spell. Elves had a higher sensibility than humans and he could feel he had moved her. She placed a hand on his chest and placed an ear to listen to the fast thumping of his heart. Why was she so attracted? He slowly took her hand and placed his palm over hers interlocking his fingers with hers. 'Acquit me of your cruelty, I wish you felicity' Aldaron added.
-'Bare me with your blessings for there is much that you mustn't know for the sake of your fine heart.' Had she been so polite? What was going through her mind for her to consider him having a fine heart?
-'Thou have overwhelmed my heart and cured the aching without noticing my presence. And I still wonder how my heart can bear being here next to thou without exploding in happiness.'
She bit her lip nervously. No one had ever said such beautiful words like these at her. He stared right through her and was blindly in love. He dreaded the moment when he would be obliged to let her choose between him and Aregnor. At that very moment, Undowen let her mind play. He had charm and she wasn't sure if her body would give into it. She loved Aregnor deeply, with all her spirit, body and mind. Aldaron's fingers traced paths on her skin. He was still behaving as a gentleman even if his mind and body told him otherwise. She closed her eyes fiercely and tried to shut down her body. She thought it was wrong to desire to feel him. She tensed up and felt innocent and guilty at the same time. Emotions and physical torture were running through her veins. He felt like he'll never love again because he'll never forget her. Slow innocent gestures become passionate touches. She won't admit it but she feels safe as he wraps his arms around her.
'Will you do me the honour of letting me continue' he asked. She was aching for a man's touch. The feeling of weight over her slim body passed through her mind.
-'Don't worry' she tried to reassure him as well as herself. She needed to be loved. Finally, she closed her eyes and pretended he was Aregnor.
Aldaron untied his cloak and spread it to the ground. While he did so, she sneaked behind him and grabbed his garments and slowly unbuttoned his shirt tugging it towards her. She didn't want to catch his eye. She slid her fingers on his bare chest and he turned to reveal his well-fit cream coloured flesh. He breathed quickly as she pulled the tied laces on her back to slip out of her dress. Under, she wore a sleek gown. Aldaron noticed that the gown moved along with her rocking hips as she walked behind his once more to struggle with his belt. She tried her hardest not to look him straight in the eye, avoiding his love. It turned him on and he untied his belt in one motion and bent back to touch her muscular calves with his hand. He slowly followed the soft skin running all the way up her thigh. She was warm. She felt vulnerable, disgusting and powerless against the touches he was giving and the touches she'd been craving. He turned and she felt his arousal against her leg. Undowen pressed her face between his jaw and shoulder and breathed deeply calming down to think properly but it was too late. He was a drug and she was addicted. His smell intoxicated her, bringing an alarm to all her senses. Her free hand went down his back to his buttocks. His breathing became erratic. Her fingers fumbled as she pulled his clothes off his flesh. She tugged the fabric, delighted to see he wasn't wearing any under garments. He pulled her closer but she stiffened. He kissed her softly to make her relax against him. He lifted her and she wrapped her legs around his waist. Her feet stroked the back of his legs as she abandoned herself. Heat climbed between them as they fell in each other's rhythm. He held her thighs as he slashed into her. Aldaron held his breath and spilled himself inside her as she reached ecstasy. They collapsed to the ground and Aldaron fell onto her. Sweat dribbled down his spine. He smiled at her and gently folded his cloak around their curled up bodies. Undowen fell in her thoughts as Aldaron cradled his head and neck around her shoulder. He held her feeling unbelievably lucky and proud.
He whispered under the stars 'she's mine and she will be mine until the end of time.'
