Chapter Forty-Five
Hopes and Dreams so Far Away
~~~POV-REYNA LINDELE~~~
I woke to find Legolas staring down at me. A grin crossed my face, "Quel amrun."
{Good morning.}
With a bright smile, he ran his fingers through my loose brown locks and sat up.
"Shall I ask a servant to bring us breakfast in bed?"
Instinctively, I cuddled up next to him, leaning against his lean chest. "That
sounds delightful."
Legolas smiled, "You do realize that rumors will be circulating now more than
ever..."
I nodded, "'Tis true, but there is nothing we can do to stop them from doing
so." He nodded in agreement and opened the door, wrapped in the sheet and asked
the guard to summon a servant.
A shy elven maid slipped in, "Yes King Legolas? Yes Lady Reyna?"
Legolas quickly reprimanded her, "It is 'Queen' Reyna. She is the queen of the
Fae."
The elf flushed with embarrassment, "I am sorry, I did not know."
Kindly, I smiled; "Of course you didn't. Legolas was just trying to tell you,
he's a bit cranky in the morning."
My elven lover gave me an odd look before returning to the servant. "We would
like breakfast delivered to the chambers."
She smiled, "Oh, en rant." {Oh, of course.}
I smiled, "Could you please bring me a light salad and some pancakes with maple
syrup?"
The young elven maid smiled, "Why of course. And for you King Legolas?"
He smiled at me, "Whatever she ordered for me as well." The maid bowed and
departed.
As Legolas closed the door I examined him keenly. He was very well built and
terribly handsome. I didn't usually take attraction to blonds but somehow I
doubt I had even taken his hair color into account.
A smile crept across my lips as I looked at him, "You are so terribly handsome."
For a moment, it appeared that a small blush was tinting his cheeks. "No matter
how handsome you say I am, I am not good enough for you."
My brow furrowed, "Whatever do you mean? You are perfect for me!" I hugged him
tightly to me and kissed his soft lips tenderly.
He followed my lead and kissed me back as his hands started to slip off my
undergarments. A grin boldly lighting his face, "Melamin." {My love.}
I allowed him to remove my clothing completely, and he laid me onto the massive bed.
As the sheet, which had been wrapped around him, fell to the ground, it revealed his body
in all it's glory.
The ripped abdominals and the tantilizing chest above them. His muscular arms and
his very, very, very anxious....eyes.
Desire and love swarmed in his sapphire blue eyes. He crept over me slowly, and I
could feel his heated breath on my bare skin. Legolas slowly pulled the blanket up and
over us. He was leaning over me and gently starting to fall against me as the doors burst
open.
Loraine walked in and gasped; "Oh dear, sorry to interrupt." While Legolas looked quite
flustered, Loraine seemed nothing but bemused by it. "I have brought good news."
I grinned, "It worked."
She glanced over to me, "I beg your pardon?"
My eyes went wide, I had forgotten elven ears were so keen. "Oh, nothing."
Loraine smiled, "Well, I am pregnant!" She started to cry a little as she smiled hyterically.
Legolas embraced her tightly, "Oh Loraine! I am so happy for you!"
I felt somewhat uneasy, I did not fit in to this quaint family and there victories...I was an
outsider still. Nervously I laid back on the bed, with the sheet wrapped around me. "Congratulations
Loraine!"
She turned and embraced me, "Oh! Reyna, it is so nice to have a sister-figure!"
A blush came to my cheeks, and to think moments ago I thought I didn't fit in. "Loraine, I am so
happy for you! If you want, when you get further along I have some herbs to promote a healthy delivery."
Loraine smiled, "That sounds great! I am slightly nervous, but I have about fifteen months to
fret over it."
I giggled, "Yup! This is so perfect!"
She smiled, "I know, you and Legolas will be getting married and I am carrying Ariane and my baby!"
My eyes went wide, "What!? We aren't getting married..." Her evergreen eyes veered over to Legolas
and back to me.
With a soft but nervous laugh, she turned. "Well, I best be going. There are several things that
need tending to. All the soldiers are requesting an audience with you, King Legolas, and I will have it
arranged for tomorrow night if that suits you."
Legolas smiled, "Why of course, that suits me fine."
Loraine curtsied lightly and left the room with a devilish smirk on her face.
I turned to my beloved; "Darling, for some reason or another that grin on Loraine's face looked a
tad too wicked for my liking. Why was she so certain that we are going to marry?"
A bright blush took Legolas's cheeks captive. "She is my older sister, of course she would make
those kind of assumptions when she sees us in such a compromising situation."
Now it was my turn to blush brightly. "Oh." I realized I was still nude, spare the sheet wrapped
around my body.
Legolas grinned, "What do you say we finish what we started?" I blushed again and approached him
as he lay down on the bed.
"No objections here." I allowed him to take me into his arms as he began to kiss me tenderly.
His lovely eyes began to glow with passion again.
A smiled formed on his soft peach colored lips. "Im mela lye Cathelle." {I love you Kitten.}
As I lay in his arms, listening to his soft quenyan words I felt my stomach lurch. I turned to him,
"Melamin, I feel ill."
He looked at me, "Cathelle, do not move. I shall summon a healer."
I shook my head; "No, that is unneeded my beloved."
As I coaxed him to lay down again, there as a soft knock on the door, "Lord, Lady, I have your breakfast."
Legolas wrapped himself in the sheet and pulled the curtains of the four-poster bed closed. Upon answering the door, two elven men carried in silver platters and set them opn hte table in the room. "Diola lle." {Thank you.} The two elves slowly walked out after bowing.
I pulled back the sheer black curtains and climbed out of bed. "Hungry?"
He waited for my reply, and as if on cue, I ran to the bathroom and retched into the chamber pot It was still early mornign so there was little in my system.
Legolas followed me into the bathroom. "You 'are' ill. Want me to call a healer now...?"
After a few minutes, I felt fine. I stood unsteadily, "No, I am fine."
After a reluctant glace, Legolas helped me to my feet; "Can you eat?"
The tantalizing aroma of warm pancakes in rich maple syrup caught in my nose, "Mmm...perhaps I will partake in a little meal."
He kissed my lips tenderly, "That's my girl."
I raised one of my bushy but thin eyebrows, "I am 'your' girl, huh?" A blush came to his cheeks, "I like the sound of that." I kissed him back and we walked into the bedroom. A flask of mead was sitting on a nightstand. I read the card attached to it aloud, "A show of thanks from the men of Aragorn to the kind Lady who offered us boarding."
Legolas turned, "What is the Army of Gondor doing in Glacia?"
A bright crimson tinted my cheeks, "They aren't in Glacia...I sort of told them they could stay here on their way home..."
My prince's eyes went wide, "How can you expect us to house nearly two thousand men?" I shrugged and kissed him again.
"Let's worry about that later." I kissed him more passionately.
