A/N I thank all the authors who update quickly and satisfy my guilty pleasure. I know I don't update as often as I have in my previous story, but it's just been so hard to think lovely thoughts for this.

Oh, and sorry for the shortnesss and the lack of smut.

They had drifted off into a peaceful sleep. When Elenya finally woke up it was almost midday. Legolas was unaware as she slipped his arm from around her waist and left the bed.

She was hungry and noticed with some relief that there had not been any food laid out for them. At least nobody had seen the prince and herself in such a state. When she looked back at Legolas on the bed she smiled, taking in the slight satisfied look upon his face as he slept.

Elenya started putting on the robe and decided that she was very hungry, hungry enough to ask the maids outside for some food despite the possible humiliation at their giggling. Perhaps it would be even worse now. Perhaps they would be able to see the afterglow written all over her face. But still, it would be nice to have some food. She braced herself before opening the door.

Outside sat a single maid next to a tray full of food. At hearing the door creak she immediately looked up, but where Elenya thought she'd find a sly smile she found the maid's features showed only anxiousness.

"My Lady," the maid began in a tone full of respect, "are you in need of something?"

Elenya puzzled over the behavior but responded.

"I was hoping I could have that tray of food," she spoke, and in an afterthought added, "did you come into the room earlier?"

"No, my Lady," the maid rushed her words out. "I waited here until I was called if needed."

"Did you knock on the door?"

"Only lightly."

Elenya studied the maid for a moment, she seemed to be a bit embarrassed.

"Well, come and bring me the tray," she finally said.

Inside the room, Legolas slowly awoke at the sound of Elenya's voice. He stretched out into the bed with a smile on his face.

"I've had the maid give us food," Elenya had closed the door and was placing the tray on one of the table. "She was acting a bit peculiar."

"How so," he said absently, rolling over on his side to face her, still with that sated look on his face.

Elenya noticed it and blushed slightly. "Well, all the time we have been here together, it seemed they were laughing at us. This morning the maid was very respectful."

"Is this bad?"

"Well, no, but do you think they know? Am I being shown respect for laying with you," she said, her brow furrowed.

"It's possible they heard us," Legolas answered getting up from the bed. For some reason he wrapped the sheet around his waist in modesty. "Haven't you ever passed by a room and her unmistakable sounds of lovemaking inside?"

"I do not intrude on people's privacy," she said affronted.

He smiled at her small indignation. "Neither do I. But I did not know what it was I heard the first time I chanced on it."

Elenya thought it over and then started to blush until it spread all over her face and neck. "I never even thought of that. Oh, all the things I said last night, and yesterday, nd this early morning!"

Legolas reached her side and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Do not worry, my sweet Elenya. There is nothing to be ashamed of. I can guarantee the maids have heard much worse in this castle."

Elenya groaned and covered her face with her hands. Legolas chuckled and once he had removed her hands from her face, leaned down slightly to kiss her lips.

When he parted from her slightly, he looked down at her face, and her eyes were still closed. Her mouth was slightly open as if awaiting another kiss.

"I want you again, Elenya," he whispered. " Is this alright?"

Elenya forgot the tray of food and her hunger, as she began to hunger for Legolas instead. She nodded mutely in response, and Legolas resumed his kisses.

Feryn walked slowly down the hall towards Legolas' bedroom. He was hoping to have breakfast with the Prince and then go on patrol together. But as he drew closer to his friend's room he noticed the maid sitting in front of the door.

"Are you telling me that they are still in there?" He said in disbelief before he had even made to stand in front of the servant Elf.

"I would tell you a lot more than that, my Lord."

She looked at the maid closely and noticed, as Elenya had, the change in demeanor.

"Are you saying that they."

"Yes. Lady Elenya will now be a full Lady in the court. How fortunate for her. She can now sit and dine with the royalty if she wishes," she said with a slight wistfullness in her voice, as if she had imagined it at least once before.

Feryn frowned slightly. As if unsure of whether he should be pleased with these news or not. He had pushed for this moment, but could not help feel something close to pity for Elenya. He tried to shrug off the feeling.

"Well, alright then. Will you have me notified when they leave?"

"Yes, my Lord."

And with that, Feryn headed back the way he came.

The maid sat there, unmoving. The second maid would be there shortly with a tray for lunch. Although, if all the little noises she could catch from inside the room were any indication, the Prince and his Lady's food would become as cold as their breakfast had before they even thought to be hungry.

A/N I think all will be revealed in the next chapter. And then an epilogue. Or does anyone want more smut?
