The Double -Edged Romance

Chapter 14

The next morning, Lindariel awoke next to Legolas but, to her happiness, nothing had happened like the night before. Legolas was still asleep and she did not want to wake him. She quietly slipped out of bed and into the bathroom where she began to prepare for her bath.

When she was done and dressed, she re-entered the room. Legolas was up and sitting at the small table. When he saw her, he smiled. "Good morning Lindariel, have some breakfast." She sat down across from him and began to eat. "Today I have a suprise for you."

"Really?" Lindariel said with suprise. "What is it?"

"If I told you it wouldn't be a suprise." Lindariel pretended to look hurt. Legolas sighed. "Very well, Lindariel, just let me bathe and I'll show you." Legolas got up and went to the bath. As Lindariel waited for Legolas to come back, she pulled out a book that Gandalfgiven her so long ago.

In a few moments, Legolas stood before her. Lindariel looked up athis handsome face. "Come Lindariel," Legolas offered his hand. She gladly took it and followed Legolas out of the room and through a series of hallways. Legolas stopped at a large wooden door. He looked at Lindariel and smiled, Lindariel smiled weakly back. Legolas opened the door.

Lindariel gasped and ran into the large library before her. The library's walls were covered with books of different sizes and thicknesses, none of them were the same.

"I remembered when Gandalf gave you a book. You were overjoyed, so I assumed that you liked books," Legolas looked nervously at Lindariel. "You do like this, don't you?"

"I like it, I love it!" Lindariel ran over to Legolas and, without thinking, kissed him. First it was soft then it grew more intense and more passionate. Lindariel, realizing what she did, pulled back. She regained her composure and looked at Legolas. "I am sorry, I shouldn't have done that."

"No need to apologize. In fact, maybe I should give you more presents if that is what I get in return." Lindariel blushed.

"I'll leave you here then," Legolas said.

"Where are you going?"

"My father wishes to speak with me, I should not be long."Lindariel was soon left by herself.After she chose a few books, she headed back to her room. Raina was there when she entered.

"Hello milady," she said happily.

"Lindariel," she reminded her.

"Well, Lindariel, I was just leaving."

"Wait," Lindariel said. "Will you stay and talk to me?"

"Why of course I will. I have nothing else to do anyways," Raina sat down across from Lindariel. "So how do you like being married?"

"I feel the same," Lindariel replied.

"Oh it will be so good to see little ones running around the house again," said Raina.

Lindariel was puzzled. What was Raina talking about? "What do you mean?"

"Well you see I was working in this house when Suiadan and Legolas were just little and they would always run around, getting themselves into trouble no doubt. When you and Legolas have children..."

"I'm not ready for children," Lindariel said worriedly.

"None of us are ever ready for children Lindariel. But you will have them sooner or later," said Raina.

"We are not having a baby," Lindariel said.

"Well not now, but soon you will..."

"I said we are not having a baby!" Raina looked at Lindariel, frightened by her mood change.

"Ok... you are not having a baby. I understand, I think. I'm just going to leave you now and finish somethings for the Queen." Raina left quickly.

Lindariel collapsed in her chair. She was not pregnant. She couldn't be pregnant, or could she? Lindariel put her hand to her stomach. Legolas walked in.

"Hello, I thought you were still in the library," Legolas moved closer to Lindariel.She leaped out of her chair and started walking out of Legolas's reach. "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Lindariel yelled. "We might have a baby. That's what's wrong!"

Legolas smiled. "We are going to have a baby! Are you certain? That's excellent news!"

"First of all, I don't know for sure, and second of all, it is not good news. I can't be pregnant, I'm not ready!"

"Why did you think that we were going to have a baby then?" Legolas asked.

"I thought so because Raina said something about little ones," Lindariel sighed wearily. Unfortunately, this was just the opening Legolas needed. He came up from behind and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"I think it's a great idea and that we should have a child soon," Legolas said. He began to put soft kisses on her neck.

Lindariel jumped away from his touch, even though she longed for it. "Now, don't get any ideas into your head. I think you forget who is going to bear your children."

Legolas moved closer to her. " I know, and I can't think of a better person for the task." Legolas was now inches from her face. She challenged him to do his worst. He scooped her up and took her to bed.

"What are you doing!" She exclaimed, scared and excited at the exact same time.

"I told you that we should have a child soon, so we had best get started." Before she knew what was happening, his lips were on hers kissing her with as much passion as she felt. She soon gave into that passion she and, like before, let him completely overtake her. This time, however, she didn't hesitate the slightest bit. All she could think about was how good and right this felt, and how she was going to kill Legolas after this was all over.
