Chapter 33

A New Beginning

Legolas' POV

I saw Jupiter out there and smiled a bit. She reached towards the sky and for a second I thought I saw someone reach back. I blinked and they were gone. She looked over her should at me and smiled.

"She is a rare jewel. And much more."

I looked at my father as he came and stood beside me.

"I could not have a chosen a better woman for you. She is strange and different, but in a very good way. She does not fear to speak her mind. That is a good quality to have, especially since she married you."

"And what is that meant to mean?"

He smiled.

"You are just like your mother. Strong, resilient, brave and honest. Sometimes her honesty was brutal, but it was needed. I loved your mother very much, Legolas. A day does not pass where I do not miss her, or think about her."

"I know. So do I."

He put his hand on my shoulder and smiled. I smiled back and then went to my wife. She turned to me and smiled.

"I think someone reached out for you. I cannot be certain, but I believe I saw someone reach for you."

She looked up and searched the stars.

"I think, no, I know you saw someone. I felt someone around me. Either way, this has been the best day of my life."

"The best day of your life so far."

We laughed and she put her arms around me.

Jupiter's POV

As the party died down, I mounted Innocence and went to Erebor. The guards bowed and congratulated me. I went down into Thorin's tomb, rose in hand. I stopped at the door frame and put my hand on the cold stone. For a second I saw him standing there. I smiled and walked forward.

"I knew you'd be there. I know my grandma was too."

I put twirled the rose in my hand.

"Well I did it. I married Legolas and I couldn't be happier. I love him so much, more than anything, more than life. And I'm gonna do my best to be a good wife. Hell I already know how to take care of people, and it'll just be Legolas and I. Maybe one day, they'll be another Greenleaf. And if we have a son, I'm going to name him after you, Thorin. And I'll be sure to tell him all about his namesake. I don't really know when I'll be back here. Legolas and I plan to build a house near Imldris. Somewhere close to where my dad once lived. We'd be going….pretty far away. But I promise to come back whenever I can. So this isn't goodbye, just until the next time."

I put the rose on the coffin. I kissed my fingers before touching the coffin with a small smile.

"Well, until the next time then."

When I reached the archway I looked back. I smiled a little and then left. Legolas was waiting for me. I smiled and shook my head.

"Are you ready?" he asked.

I nodded and took his hand. He told me he wanted to take me somewhere special. After we said goodbye to everyone, we took our bags and mounted our horses. I held my bouquet and smiled. I turned and then threw it back. When I turned around, I saw that Helga had caught it. I smiled and she waved as we rode away. I was eager to see where Legolas was taking me. He told me it would be worth the wait and I took his word for it. He said it would be a long journey over the Misty Mountains.

Nearly a month later, Legolas brought me to a forest. It was two days away from Imladris, with a small lake and river. There was a waterfall and several wild rose bushes. And above all, there was a house. A beautiful, elven style house. I smiled and I couldn't find anything to say.

"Do you like it?"

"Like is not a strong enough word. I love it! It's everything I've ever wanted. When did you do this!?"

He came over and put his hands on my waist.

"That night you told me about the sort of house you wished to one day live in. I had this house built. It was the day before I asked you to marry me. Come inside, I want to show you something."

The minute I walked through the door he covered my eyes. I laughed.

"Legolas."

"Its a surprise."

I decided to humor him. He led me into the room and then stopped again.

"Alright."

He moved his hands and my jaw dropped. There was clear glass and apparently the house was built in a sort of clearing.

"You will be able to see the stars."

I turned and jumped into his arms.

"I love it! I love all of it! And most of all I love you!"

I kissed him repeatedly and he laughed before I pulled away.

"This is perfect."

He smiled and I looked up again.

Legolas' POV

Seeing how happy she was made me smile. I brought our things inside and went looking for her. When I heard a cry of happiness I ran for the library. I smiled when I saw her looking at all the books. I chuckled and she looked at me.

"Well I know how much you love to read."

Tears of joy were in her eyes. I held out my hand and she took it.

"I have save what I believe to be the best for last."

I took her upstairs and into our room. She smiled and looked around.

"This is so beautiful. Is that a balcony!?"

I nodded and I took her outside. Her eyes went wide and her face held an expression of shock and wonder.

"Oh Legolas….oh my god."

I smiled and put my arm around her.

Jupiter's POV

The gardens were beautiful. In the middle was what looked like a peach tree and it was in full bloom. There was a small pond with water lilies. I turned and looked at Legolas. I grabbed him by his shirt and pulled his lips to mine. He put his arms around my waist and I threw him onto the bed. I took my own shirt off and he smiled. He sat up and ran his hand lightly down my neck. I closed my eyes and tangled my fingers in his hair. When his lips reached my neck I moaned. I started taking off his shirt and forced him back. I'd been waiting to do this for a long time.

"How about we break in the new house." I suggested.

He seemed confused and I just laughed before kissing him. He unlaced my undershirt and tossed it aside. I started working on his belt when he stopped my hands. He rolled so I was beneath him and pinned my arms down. I smiled at him and he kissed my lips. I arched my body but he forced me down. I smirked and hooked my leg around him before forcing him onto his back. He smiled at me and I slowly began to grind against him. He threw his head back and I put my hands on his chest. I leaned down and kissed his neck and I received a low moan. It made the coil in my stomach tighten further. He flipped us over and kissed me. I smiled and I lightly ran my fingers down his arms and then back to his shoulders. I felt his back muscles move as he wrapped his arms around me. Legolas ran his hands down my back, making me feel warm. I gasped as his thumb brushed over my nipple. He repeated this action on my other nipple until both were hard. He lay me back down and ran his hand down my body.

"So beautiful…so soft and warm." he whispered.

I smiled. I closed my eyes and his hand went even lower. He slid down my pants and stroked my inner thigh. I gasped and my legs felt limp. He went even further until I could feel him between my legs. I was breathing hard in anticipation as he gently parted my folds. I was thinking he was going to use his fingers, so when I felt his tongue on me I cried out his name. He chuckled and the vibration increased my pleasure. I tugged on his hair and he crawled back up my body. I grabbed him and kissed him hard. When we separated I stared into his eyes.

"It would seem I am playing with fire. Then again, I knew that the day I met you."

I chuckled darkly and moved my hand down further. I reached his erection and he shivered.

"Yes you have. And now you're going to burn mon amore." I said.

I was going to make him want me as much as he had made me want him. I kissed his neck and touched every bit of skin I exposed. His jaw was tight and I knew he was trying to make me work for it. Which I had no problem with. I smiled and pulled back and trailed my finger down his chest. His breathing was shallow and uneven and I knew I was getting closer to my goal. It was true what he said, he was playing with fire. I followed the trail of my finger with my lips and I heard a low sound leave his throat. I smiled and gently began to rub myself against his growing arousal. He moaned my name and I leaned down towards his lips, but kissed his neck instead. He grabbed my hips and made me stop. I looked at him with a raised brow. He sat up and tunneled one of his hands into my hair. His kiss was rough and needy. As I reached up to touched his face, my fingertips brushed against the tip of his ear. He tightened his hold on me and seemed to become further aroused. I smiled evilly and pushed him back down. First I rubbed my breasts against his chest, then when he tipped his head back I assaulted his ears. He moaned my name loudly and gripped my hips tightly.

"Hm. So Tindomiel was right. Elf ears are sensitive. Oh this is gonna be fun." I said.

"I should teach you a lesson. Next time." he said.

I smiled and kissed his soft lips again. He tasted like sweet wine and he smelled like pine and wild flowers. Before I knew it I was on my back and he was ravishing my neck again.

"I cannot deny I have long desired this. Desired you." he breathed.

I gasped as he sucked hard and scraped his teeth down my neck. His tongue followed his teeth and then he kissed my throat. I felt him against me and nearly lost myself there, but I wanted this to last as long as I could make it. He lowered his hips so he was pushing against me. I lifted my hips towards him but he only pushed me back down. He smiled and I could not help but smile back. He kissed my lips and then slowly began to push inside me. I closed my eyes and my lips parted slightly.

"Look at me." He said.

I opened my eyes and stared into his. He thrust hard and I gasped. It didn't hurt bad, but it stung.

"Are you alright?"

I nodded and he kept going. He groaned and one of his hands found my breast. I cried out his name and he began to massage the mound. I covered his hand with my own and he started to thrust harder and longer. He stopped suddenly and laid behind me, never once removing himself from me. He started to move from a different direction and hit a spot inside of me that had me seeing stars. He reach up and grabbed my breast with one hand.

"Oh mon Dieu!" I gasped.

I did not want him to stop. I wanted him to go faster, hold me tighter, and kiss me harder. I looked over and locked my lips with his again. His tongue curled around mine and I moaned. I felt my muscles tighten around him and I knew I would not last much longer.

"Let go. Come with me." he whispered in my ear.

I cried out his name and came with him. We were both breathing hard and I looked at him. He smiled and stroked my face gently. I closed my eyes and leaned into him.

"This is a new beginning for us. And it's already off to a great start in my opinion."

He laughed and nodded.

"I agree. Your brothers and sister will be staying in Imladris. They wish to be close to us."

"Good. I wouldn't want it any other way."

He kissed the top of my head before we fell asleep.
