Number 35: Becoming One

Amaris slowly opened her eyes to find herself in a dark room with a candle burning dimly on a table next to the bed. She felt someone shift next to her and she turned over to see Legolas asleep, eyes open of course. She smiled to herself and moved closer to him. She laid her head on his chest on sighed. Amaris felt Legolas jump slightly under her and she looked up to see that he was looking down at her. "You didn't fall asleep to did you?" Amaris asked with a smile. Legolas smiled and tucked a stray hair behind her ear, being careful not to touch her ear.

"No, I came back in a little while ago. The king dismissed Aragorn, Gimli, Eomer, Gandalf and I to get some rest," Legolas said as he looked down at her.

"Oh. What time is it?" Legolas leaned up and checked the candle.

"Well, I lit the candle when I came in at about three so I believe it is about seven in the evening." Amaris' eyes went wide.

"Seven? I slept for nine hours?" Legolas laughed lightly and nodded.

"I thought you were returning to your mortal traits." Amaris smiled and hit his chest lightly.

"Hey!" Legolas laughed and wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close. She sighed and rested her chin on his chest as she looked up at his face. The candle provided soft light that danced across his face. Amaris smiled at him as she thought about how he calmed her when she was overwhelmed by everything. "Thank you." Legolas raised his eyebrow.

"For what, meleth nîn?"

"For finding me, comforting me, and listening to me." Legolas leaned forward slightly and kissed her forehead. Amaris smiled at him, she knew that if he hadn't found her when he did, she probably would still be sitting in that corridor. "Le melin, Legolas, with all of my heart. (I love you)" Legolas began to sit up and so Amaris sat up with him. They sat in the middle of the straw bed and looked at each other. Legolas brought his hand up to her cheek and caressed it gently.

"Le melin, Amaris." Legolas gently pulled her face closer to him and kissed her on the lips. Amaris brought her right arm around his neck and Legolas wrapped his left arm around her and pulled her closer to him never breaking the kiss. The kiss deepened and somehow Amaris was laying on the bed and Legolas hovered above her. Legolas pulled away from the kiss and looked down at her. Legolas' hair was brushing against her cheeks but she took no notice. She just stared into his deep blue eyes. He pulled away farther. "Forgive me, I got carried away." He was nearly away from her when she grabbed his arm to stop him.

"Wait," Amaris whispered. Legolas looked at her and sat up. Amaris sat up next to him and put her hand on his cheek. "Please, don't pull away from me. I want to be with you this night. Legolas, le annon guren. Le annon meleth nîn. (I give you my heart. I give you my love.)" Legolas looked at her and looked deep into her eyes. He searched for doubt or confusion but found none. He only found honesty, truth, and love.

"Are you certain?" Legolas asked as he took her hand from her cheek and held it in his own.

"Yes, Legolas. I want to bond with you this night." Legolas kept his eyes locked with hers and lifted her hands and kissed them. He slowly lowered her hands and brought his hands to her face and cupped her cheeks. He brought his lips to hers and slowly kissed her. She parted her lips and Legolas entered her mouth. They explored each other for a moment enjoying the softness and warmth of one another's lips. When they pulled away Amaris looked up at Legolas and with her hands ran down his neck and rested at the top of his silver tunic he was wearing. Her eyes never left his as she unbuttoned the three buttons. She ran her finger across his exposed skin and Legolas' breath quickened slightly. Amaris slide her hands down the front of his tunic and found the bottom of his top. She began to pull it up and Legolas helped her remove it from his body. Once his tunic was off they tossed it from the bed.

Amaris' hands began to tremble as she ran her hands across his bare chest and shoulders. Legolas reached up and took her hands. He set her hands at her side and brought his hands to the top of her tunic. He slowly unbuttoned each button to the bottom of her tunic. He slid the fabric apart and pealed it from her body. She was wearing her white undershirt that clung tightly to her body. Legolas tossed her tunic with his then he glided his hands across her stomach and with her help removed her white undershirt. There she sat exposed to him. More exposed than she had ever been in her entire life. Legolas' eyes never left hers the entire time. He cupped her face and drew her in for a chaste kiss. When they pulled away he ran his hands down her neck. His left hand remained there but his right found its way to her breast and he gently caressed her. He pulled her closer and kissed her deeply this time sending shivers through Amaris' body. A quiet moan escaped her throat and Legolas smiled against her lips.

Amaris took his hands from her body and Legolas pulled away from the kiss. He looked into her eyes, for a moment he thought he saw fire flash within their green depths. Amaris brought her shaky hands to the laces of his leggings. She left his eyes and watched her hands as she undid the laces. Legolas watched her as she slowly and shyly untied his leggings. He brought his hands to the top of her leggings and started to untie them at the same rate that she was untying his. Her eyes left her hands and went to his when his fingers brushed against her bare skin sending a burning sensation through her body. After the laces were untied, they both went to their own leggings and removed them. Amaris situated herself and she tossed her leggings on the floor next to her tunic and Legolas' tunic. As her leggings hit the floor Legolas' landed next to hers. She let out a shaky breath and turned to face him. Legolas looked into her eyes and saw how nervous she was. He cupped her cheek and drew her to him. He kissed her gently and laid her down on the bed. He pulled away from her. He brushed her cheek and Amaris swallowed hard.

"Do not worry meleth nîn. I will be very gentle," Legolas whispered his voice deeper and thicker than usual. Amaris nodded and leaned up and claimed his lips as her own. Her hands rubbed his back and Legolas' roamed her body taking in every curve and every sensitive spot. Legolas moved his lips to her neck and placed kisses from the base of her neck up to her ear. Amaris brought her right hand up his back and gently ran her fingers over the rim of Legolas' ear, from the lobe of his ear all the way to the tip. When her fingers gently played with the tip of his ear he gasped and pulled his head up from her neck and his breathing came in quiet gasps as Amaris continued to manipulate his ear. She propped herself up and kissed his neck, chin, and when her lips came into contact with his she was shocked by the passion Legolas poured into that kiss. He took her hand from his ear while they kissed and he ran his hand up and down her neck and then he gently brushed her ear. Amaris pulled away quickly from the kiss and gasped when unexplainable sensations shook her body. Legolas' hand left her ear and they returned to their kisses. Legolas positioned himself above her and he gently spread her legs. Amaris felt him near her and her heart rate increased. Legolas pulled away from her lips and spoke while his lips hovered just centimeters from hers.

"Are you ready to bond, meleth nîn?" he asked as he ran his hand down her neck to her breasts then to her sensitive center. As his fingers brushed her she gasped and arched her back to him. Amaris' mind was reeling from the new experiences and she nodded. After a few moments of discomfort passion began to flood through her body. They rocked together and as they were both reaching the brink of ecstasy Amaris wrapped her legs around him. In order for the bond to succeed, their souls needed to meet and Amaris could feel him not only in her body but somewhere deeper. Her breaths became shorter and quiet moans escaped her and Legolas. Amaris felt herself reaching the edge and she called out to him.

"Legolas," she said in a whisper. Legolas moaned quietly and their eyes met. He nodded and kissed her lightly.

"I am with you," he said before his lips crashed down on hers and they both reached their peak. A pale blue light encircled the new lovers. Legolas and Amaris both felt a piece of themselves rip away and be replaced with a piece of the other. While Amaris clinged to him Legolas placed soft kisses on her forehead, cheeks and chin. Soon her body calmed and Legolas moved off of her and pulled her body to him. Amaris laid her head on his chest and listened to his rapidly beating heart. Legolas kissed the top of her head and Amaris smiled. "We are one, meleth nîn. I am a part of you and you are a part of me for eternity." Legolas paused and Amaris looked up at him. Legolas looked deep into her green eyes and gave her a tired smile. "When times are peaceful, and Sauron is defeated I want to claim you as my wife. Will you be my wife, Amaris?" Amaris smiled at him and nodded as she whispered.

"Yes."
