Number 54: Alone Time in Mirkwood
As they walked down the darkened corridor Amaris grabbed Legolas' hand a little tighter. He looked at her and smiled. "What is it, meleth nîn?" Legolas asked with a smile. Amaris sighed and shook her head.
"Nothing really," Amaris responded out loud but then continued through their link. "I just get the feeling that we're being watched Legolas. Ever since we left my room, I've felt eyes on us." Legolas kept his eyes ahead and kept his face neutral, like they walked in silence.
"I've felt it too Amaris. However, it may just be servants." Amaris mentally shook her head.
"No. Who ever they are, they are following us. I do not think that it is any of the servants." Legolas sighed.
"It's alright Amaris. Do not worry we'll be in the dinning hall soon." Amaris gripped his hand again and he returned the gesture. Soon they were in the dinning hall and Amaris no longer felt the peering eyes. They both smiled at Thranduil and several of his advisors. Isindil smiled at Legolas and Amaris. Legolas pulled the chair next to his out and Amaris smiled at him as she sat down. As he sat down he spoke once more through their link. "Is everything alright?"
"Everything is fine. I no longer feel the lurking eyes, just the wondering eyes of your father's advisors." Legolas held in a slight chuckle and turned to his father.
"Good evening, father, gentlemen," Legolas said as he looked at everyone. The others bowed their heads and looked at Amaris expectantly. "Forgive me; this is Amaris, my betrothed." Legolas said to the others, whose eyes went wide and they murmured back and forth between each other.
The remainder of dinner went fairly smooth and Amaris didn't speak unless she was spoken to. She was far too nervous to start any kind of conversation, except for with Legolas through their link. Once dinner was over Amaris and Legolas retired for the night as they both were wore out from their journey. Once they reached their doors Amaris laced her fingers with his and smiled at him.
"Your room or mine, meleth nîn?" Amaris asked through their link and Legolas raised an eyebrow at her.
"What do you speak of Amaris?" Legolas asked with a smile and Amaris' smile just grew a little. She pulled him over to the side of the corridor so they were not standing in the middle. She rested her back against the stone wall next to Legolas' bedroom door and pulled him close to her causing him to rest his hands on her waist and she raised hers to his neck. Amaris played with the collar of his tunic before raising her eyes to look at him.
"I thought I was clear, meleth nîn." She paused and kissed his chin. "I want to finish what we started earlier this afternoon in the hot spring and before dinner." She reached up and placed a ghost of a kiss on his lips, barely touching his silken lips. Legolas shivered involuntarily and Amaris smiled at him. He smiled back but did not respond verbally. He laced her fingers with his and led her into his bedroom. He opened the door for her and she stepped inside. His room was even more breathtaking than hers in the moonlight and firelight from the fireplace, only his was decorated in greens and browns and the royal crest of Mirkwood was carved into his head board. Amaris smiled and turned around to face Legolas who closed the door and locked it so they would not be disturbed. He took two steps and closed the distance between them and quickly claimed her lips in a heated kiss. Amaris pulled away after a moment with a smile on her face. Legolas looked into her eyes and smiled. The blue ring was once again glowed a bright blue and his heart started to race. Amaris looked into his eyes only to find the same effect in his eyes. The green ring in his eyes glowed but she never noticed it before and became alarmed. "Legolas," she said in a whisper. "Your eyes, the green is glowing. Why?" Legolas smiled at her and placed a soft kiss on her nose.
"The blue ring in your eyes is glowing as well, meleth nîn." Amaris took a sharp breath and brought her fingers to just under her eyes. "Do not worry. It does not glow all the time, they only glow before we make love." Amaris smiled at him and lowered her hands.
"But I did not notice it that night in Minas Tirith." Legolas laughed and caressed her cheek.
"Because you were caught up in the moment and it was much darker there that night than it is here, at this moment. I saw your eyes glow that night and each time I see it, my heart beats quickly and I cannot contain my own desire for you." Legolas gently pulled her face to his and leaned down to her and kissed her deeply. A quiet moan escaped her lips and Legolas smiled against her lips before he slowly pulled away from her biting her lower lip. He picked her up and carried her over to the bed and gently laid her down.
"Legolas," she said in a whisper and he looked down at her. She pulled him closer to her by his tunic and he hovered over her. "Legolas, make love to me, please." Legolas sighed a heavy sigh and caressed her sides through her dress as she clung to his neck keeping his lips just centimeters from hers.
"I will make love to you Amaris and I will show you just how much I love you." He leaned in and claimed her lips once again and she felt his hands move under her body and she arched her back so he could untie the lacings in the back. His fingers moved quickly never breaking from her lips and she felt her dress loosen around her body. Her hands moved form his neck and down the ties of his tunic, quickly working her fingers as fast as she could to untie his tunic. Once the last tie was undone, she parted it and ran her hands over his smooth skin. Amaris felt his muscles tense and relax under her fingers. They pulled away from each others lips and Amaris smiled when she realized that the shoulders of her gown were down her arm and her chest was nearly uncovered. Legolas smiled at her and kissed her lightly and stood. He removed his tunic and his boots and climbed onto the bed covering her body with his. "Keep your arms to your sides, meleth nîn . Do not touch until I say." Amaris couldn't respond feeling him so close so she just nodded. He shifted to his knees and pulled her dress down farther and farther until she slid her feet out of it and he tossed it onto the chair next to the bed. She laid there with only her panties on and she felt his fingers move up her legs as they sent fire through out her body from everywhere they touched. When they came to her scars on her right leg Amaris sighed but Legolas leaned down and kissed up each light scar causing Amaris to moan out and him to smile. "Never be ashamed of them, Amaris. You are enchanting with them." His voice was deeper and sent chills through her as his breath danced across her skin. Legolas ran his hands nearly all over her body, only ignoring her most sensitive area. He laid himself over her supporting his weight on his arms that rested beside her head. His hair cascaded down on her she looked up into his eyes. He smiled at her and leaned down to her neck where he kissed and nipped at her skin causing her to shiver. She was fighting a battle within herself to not bring her hands to run through his golden hair and run them across his solid back, but she was loosing.
"Legolas," her voice was husky and laced with desire. Legolas kept to his assault of kisses and nips but raised his right hand and cupped her left breast and she gasped, nearly going over the edge from just his kisses and touches. "Legolas, please. I cannot take this torture anymore." Legolas smiled against her skin and moved his lips to hover over hers. Amaris locked her eyes with his and he smiled at her once again before he claimed her lips once more. His hands moved down her body and slid her panties from her hips. Amaris groaned as his touch sent fire through her body. He broke from their kiss and smiled once more at her as he removed her underwear. He kneeled on the bed and looked down at her and she looked up at him. Her breath caused her chest to rise up and down quickly and Legolas' was no better. He leaned back over her and placed his left hand to the right of her head and he teased her with his right causing her to moan louder and him to smile as he watched her below him. Her mind was spinning and she couldn't take it anymore she raised her left hand, laced her fingers in his hair and pulled his face down to her and kissed his lips hungrily as he continued to tease her. She pulled him away and locked her eyes with his as best she could. "Please, Legolas, remove your leggings. I need you." She brought her hands to the rim of his leggings and untied them quickly. Legolas slowly removed his hand from her and placed it over hers that were franticly pushing on his leggings. He guided her hands to the sides of his leggings and helped her push them down and he slid out of them. Once they were off, Amaris ran her hands up his back and wrapped her arms around his shoulders as he hovered over her with his arms on each side of her head once more. He leaned in and kissed her as he entered her slowly. They moved together and soon Amaris felt the tension begin to build. "Legolas," she whispered and leaned up to him and kissed him. He moaned into her mouth and kissed her back. She pulled away from his lips and wrapped her legs around him and he moved deeper. "Legolas, faster," she pleaded with him and he kissed her as he quickened his pace.
He pulled away and kissed down her neck as they moved together and soon her body began to tremble and tighten around Legolas causing him to release and once again the blue light engulfed them as they laid intertwined. Legolas collapsed on her but she didn't mind, he was not heavy on her. They both were out of breath and they just laid there before they both recovered. Legolas slowly lifted himself up to look down at Amaris. She smiled at him and he kissed her lightly.
"I love you Amaris," Legolas said his voice slowly returning to normal. "I love you more than anything." He kissed her once again. When he pulled away Amaris smiled at him.
"I love you too Legolas. I'm so happy to be here with you." Legolas removed his body from hers and rolled over. He pulled her body close to his before he drew the covers up and over their nude bodies. He wrapped his arms around her and she snuggled against his chest.
"I'm very happy that you are here with me. I do not know what I would do if I were to lose you." He started to run his fingers through her hair, a habit she had come to love and that he wasn't even aware of.
"You will never lose me Legolas. I will be with you forever and no one or no thing will ever take me away from you." Legolas held her tighter.
"Nor I from you." He kissed the top of her head and the weariness from their journey and the activity of the night slowly lulled the lovers to sleep under the pale moonlight of Mirkwood.
