Chapter 11

They went to the bedroom and Elrond looked around in wonderment at the new surroundings. On the wall were posters of all the LOTR movies as well as action figures of himself.

"Sorry about the clutter." Molly apologized.

"It's alright." Elrond told her.

"I'm kind of tired, so I think I'm going to get ready for bed." She told him.

He watched as she opened her drawer and took out a t-shirt and a pair of grey sweats, she excused herself and went to the bathroom to change. She came back a few minutes later and Elrond couldn't help but think as to how beautiful she was. He was sitting down on the bed.

"I think we better get you out of those robes." She said.

"Well I guess I can't sleep in these, can I?" He mused.

She smiled as she went back to the drawer and got out a pair of sweats and a tank shirt for him. It was his turn to get ready for bed as he went into the bathroom to change. When he stepped inside, he studied the sink, the toilet, and the shower.

'How strange.' He thought to himself.

He jiggled the handle on the toilet and pushed it down, he jumped back when it flushed. He knocked a few things off the shelves as he jumped.

"Are you okay in there?" Molly asked him from behind the door.

"Yes I think so."

Molly entered the bathroom and just chuckled.

"What's so funny?" He asked her.

She pointed to the toilet.

"This is what you call a toilet. That is what we use to take care of business."

"Take care of business?"

Molly rolled her eyes.

"You know, just in case you have to go pee or take a crap? You know when you have to use the bushes in middle earth?"

Elrond's eyes got big at that moment.

"Oh, I understand now."

"And this is a sink, you wash your hands and brush your teeth."

"Okay. And what is this?" He asked as he pointed to the shower.

"This is where we bathe. It's called a shower, you just turn the knobs like this," She turned knobs clockwise and the water poured from the showerhead, "and to turn it off you twist them the opposite way."

"I have so much to learn about your world. This is amazing." He said.

"I'll leave you to get dressed." She told him.

She left Elrond alone once again. He slipped out of his robes and into his sweats. He inspected himself once more before heading back to the bedroom. Molly was sitting on the bed reading the newspaper. She looked up and her mouth almost dropped at the site of him. His chest was somewhat hairy but not too much and his rippling abs showed off quite nicely through his tank top. He looked like one of those Calvin Klein underwear ads come to life, only better.

'What a bod!' She thought to herself.

"It must be nice to be out of those robes for a change."

"Well I do admit, this is quite comfortable." He admitted.

He walked over to the bed got under the covers with Molly. He wrapped his arms around her and they fell asleep in each other's arms.

Molly awoke at around noon she turned lazily to put her arm around Elrond and snuggle up to him but to her surprise, he wasn't there. Not too long after that she smelled something burning in the kitchen followed by cursing. She rushed to the kitchen and there was thick smoke everywhere. Elrond was hacking as he was waving the smoke. Molly rushed to the window to open it so the smoke could clear.

"What were you doing?" Molly asked him.

"I was actually wanting to surprise you with breakfast." Elrond told her as he was coughing.

"Well it's way past noon and too late for breakfast." She told him.

"I hope that you are not angry with me."

How could she be angry with him. It was sweet of him to surprise her like that even if he did almost burn the house down. Gene never did that for her when they were living together. All she could do was kiss, him and she did.

"It's okay." She told him softly.

"So you're not angry?"

"No, let's just order a pizza instead." She told him.

A few moments later after the smoke cleared, Molly got on the phone to a local pizza place. She put in her order and less than 30 minutes later it arrived. There was a knock at the door. Molly answered it. It was Gene in his work uniform and Molly didn't look to pleased to see him.

"Hello Molly." He said.

"Oh hi." She answered with a lack of enthusiasm in her voice.

Gene peeked inside and saw a glimpse of Elrond standing there.

"So I didn't know you had company."

"Yeah ... I do. Just tell me how much the pizza is please?"

"Oh yeah, uhm ... that will be $12.50."

Molly handed him exact change took the pizza and slammed the door in his face. Elrond could tell something was wrong by the look on her face.

"Are you alright?" He asked her.

She walked over to the table and set the pizza down.

"Yeah, I'm okay."

Elrond knew she was lying.

"No, you're not."

Molly started to shake with anger. He put his arms around her and her shaking subsided.

"Was that him?" He asked.

Molly nodded as she was still in his arms. Elrond looked out the window towards Gene with a look that could kill. He watched as his car pulled out the driveway. He continued to hold Molly until she stopped shaking.

"He's hurt you very badly, hasn't he?"

"More than you know." Molly admitted.

He looked into her eyes as he spoke some more.

"He won't hurt you again. I promise you that."

And then he kissed her softly at first and then it got more passionate as his tongue slipped past her lips. She kissed him back as they held each other. He picked her up in his arms and they headed for the bedroom. He laid her down gently on the bed not breaking their kiss as he lowered himself on top of her.

"I love you." He whispered.

"I love you too." She answered softly.

His hands went under her shirt touching her flesh she stopped him for a moment.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"It's just been so long ..."

"I know."

And then he kissed her again softly.

"Elrond are you sure about this?"

He nodded.

"Yes ... I am."

They continued to kiss as she ran her fingers through his long dark hair. His lips made their way to her neck making her sigh and then trailed down to her chest making her nipples harden. He lifted her shirt exposing her breasts, he could tell she was a little apprehensive.

"You don't have to hide yourself from me." He reassured her.

He removed her shirt and she slowly removed his. They were now top naked and skin to skin. His lips lightly touched her skin setting her very being on fire. He slowly kissed her stomach making his way down to her belly button.

"Am I dreaming?" She asked.

"No, you're not. I'm very real, very alive and I'm here with you." He told her.

This seemed so surreal to her. She had played this fantasy in her head many times and now it was real. Elrond was really in her bed making her feel things she had only read about in romance novels as he caressed her skin and kissed her lips. He slowly pulled her sweat pants down and she now naked before him. She could feel her heart beating faster than normal as he kissed every inch of her bare skin.

"You are so beautiful." He whispered.

They kissed again as their hands wandered and explored each other. She gently raked her nails down his back making him gasp. Elrond had not felt those sensations in quite a long time as she pressed her bare skin up again his. It had been too long ... way too long. He felt himself getting rigid as he and Molly continued caress each other. She slowly pulled his sweat pants off setting his manhood free. They were now fully naked.

"Oh God I want you." She whispered.

"I know I want you too."

He kissed her deeply as he opened her legs and lowered himself on top of her. She wrapped her legs around his back as he slowly put himself inside of her making her cry out in ecstasy. She had never felt such bliss at that moment as she and Elrond made love for the first time. He intertwined his fingers with hers as they continued to move slowly. Their sighs of desire filled the room.

"Look into my eyes Molly." He said softly.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him as they continued to make love. That was when she knew she wasn't dreaming after all. After awhile her body started to explode from the inside out and she let out a cry of joy as he continued to move inside of her. Her hips moved with his until finally he stiffened up and collapsed in her arms. He still continued to hold her as he kissed her forehead. She looked into his eyes once again and he had a bit of a smile of his face as he looked at her.

"Whoa ..." Was all Molly could say.

Elrond let out a small laugh as he nuzzled her neck and then finally they fell asleep in each other's arms once again.
