Heh. Anywho, enjoy this chapter until I can grind out another one. lol.

The seduction begins...

Inwardly I began to panic as Haldir led me into the woods. The further we went, the darker it became and I kept moving closer to the Elf as my sight rapidly diminished. After forever it seemed, the elf finally stopped and I turned around in the direction I hoped we had come from and saw little specs of light. Ah, the bonfires. I slowly moved my gaze to our surroundings as my eyes adjusted to the darkness and found that Haldir had led us into a medium-sized clearing, the moonlight just barely illuminating everything so I could vaguely see. There apparently was a small stream nearby, the same one I had gazed into earlier and I smiled as the water glittered like tiny diamonds from the reflection of the moonlight boring down upon its surface.

I then looked over at Haldir as I felt his hand grasp my bare arm and I nearly gasped at the sight of him. His entire being seemed to glow with its own light, merely enhanced by what little light the moon had to offer. His hair shone a magnificent array of white versus blonde and his eyes glowed eerily like a cat's in the darkness and I knew he did not pull me away from prying eyes just to enjoy the scenery. As he moved a step forward I subconsciously moved a step back, maintaining our current distance and I could have sworn I saw the slightest hint of a smile curve the edge of his lips. As he moved one step forward again, I did the same as before and heard his chuckle. We continued this little game until I had backed up into a tree. I swallowed a bit nervously as he put his hands on the trunk behind me on each side of my head, effectively trapping me and he leaned close to me, almost whispering, "Why do you retreat from me? Am I not pleasing to you?" He lightly brushed his nose across my cheek and I shivered, instinctively turning my head away from his caress, which earned a soft nip on my earlobe. I gasped and ducked underneath of his arm, turning my back to him.

I spotted the bonfires, "Oh look! Dancing!" I high-tailed it out of the clearing towards the bonfires, my heart beating wildly in my chest as I rejoined the mass throng of people.

Haldir merely stood in the clearing, a big smile of amusement flashing across his face. He chuckled, "Hide for now, dear Jennifer, but I will have you alone again." He grinned and walked back towards the bonfires, slipping into the crowd unnoticed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I groaned and hid my face in my hands. Ever since that night at the renaissance faire, I hadn't been able to get the Elf out of my head, and now I was starting to dream about our little secret get-together. The past week I had woken up in a dead sweat as the memory of my dreams haunted my waking thoughts, a familiar ache resting between my legs as each dream grew more livid and naughty. I had been avoiding Haldir like the plague and it seemed he was in no hurry to seek me out, of which I was extremely thankful. I found Legolas downstairs sifting through the many movies we had and I leaned against the doorway.

He didn't even look up as he commented, "You humans have very interesting ways to entertain yourselves... Do you not go outside any longer?" He continued to sift through the DVDs, wrinkling his nose as he read the title of a certain movie called Hunt For Red October and I grinned, absolutely hating that movie.  He soon stood up, looking at me with his cool blue eyes, "I saw you two that night." He grinned as I blushed a light pink and he chuckled, "Makes one wonder what might have happened that night in the forest..."

I rolled my eyes, "Nice try, but you aren't getting anything out of me." I folded my arms across my chest, almost snorting in amusement.

Legolas pouted and he walked up to me slowly, "Oh, you are just as elusive as Haldir. I asked him and he refused to even acknowledge my question." His eyes narrowed playfully as he looked down at me, taking in my outfit with a slightly raised eyebrow, "One day you two will slip up in your demeanor and I shall be there to witness what it is that is going on between you two." He smirked knowingly and walked out of the den, giving me one last knowing glance before gracefully walking up the stairs. I sighed and pouted lightly, not liking how this was going one bit.

I walked up the stairs and into the kitchen, reading a note that was on the table. It was from Haldir and it was explaining of his whereabouts. Apparently he had decided to go down and speak with the trees of the area and I shrugged, setting the note back down again. I sighed as I heard the shower running and knew that Legolas must have taken over the bathroom and then I went to work on making myself some hot cocoa. I then heard a noise much like the sound of the downstairs sliding glass door opening and I froze to the spot, suddenly remembering just what I had worn to bed. I looked down at myself and confirmed my fears that I was indeed wearing a black little negligee that ended about mid-thigh and barely covered anything. I made a split-second decision and dashed for my room in a blur of blonde hair and black silk, grabbing my robe and putting it on quickly. I didn't have time to tie it however as I saw Haldir standing in my doorway in obvious amusement. I gathered what dignity I had left and walked past him out of my room and went back to fixing myself some cocoa, "You're back early."

Haldir followed me as I knew he would and he leaned against the counter near me, "The trees did not offer much information that I was seeking." He arched one delicately shaped brow and played with a lock of my hair absently, "Your mind is troubled."

I looked at him sharply and discarded a recently acquired spoon into the sink, "Yes, it is, but I'm afraid I'd rather not talk about it." He merely shrugged and watched as I sat down at the kitchen table, my robe falling open unbeknownst to myself. I sipped my hot cocoa contently, closing my eyes.

I then jumped as I felt his warm breath next to my ear as he murmured, "I will never understand why you like something so sweet..." I quickly gulped down the rest of it, standing and putting the mug in the sink, walking swiftly out of the kitchen. I heard his laughter trail after me as I practically ran to my room. I closed the door with a sigh and I looked up at the ceiling, wondering how much longer I would be able to refuse him before giving in. By the looks of things, it wouldn't be much longer.
