What are you doing?!" Helke cried out, stumbling away from the prince as his lips caught hers.

"Helke, please it is not only my father's heart that you hold" he begged but helke had already fled in the other direction, soft frost covering the ground.

Unknown to both of them someone had seen the prince's stunt. Kalwa, an elvish princess from a far off land had been trying to get legolas to ask for her hand in marriage many times. All those times legolas had refused (as politely as he could), saying someone else had stolen his heart. Kalwa now though it was time for some pay back against the elvish prince...

Helke sprinted back to the king's hall's quickly and to thranduil's chambers, breathing hard. She thought legolas was her friend? But now he had feelings for her too? To make things worse he was the son of the man she loved! Just as she sat on the bed thranduil came in and it looked as if helke had been sitting there obediently the whole time.

"I am sorry I was so long" thranduil said as he shut the door behind himself.

"It's alright, it was nice to have time to myself" she lied.

"You do not enjoy my company?" Asked the king as he sat by helke.

"Of course I do" helke said and she placed her head on his shoulder. She looked up and her heart caught in her mouth when her white eyes met his green-blue ones. She leaned up and pressed her lips to his passionately. His hands threaded themselves into her white long hair and deepened the kiss still. He picked her up and lay her down softly And climbed on top of her and caught his lips with hers again. She pressed the length of her body to his and gasped when she felt something press against her thigh.

"Do not be afraid" he whispered gently and ice collected below her. "I will not hurt you" he said and kissed her neck softly. She moaned quietly and he kissed her soft spot and began to lick and nibble it softly, creating a small red mark.

"Thranduil" she almost begged, clawing at his silk clothing. She unclasped the brocade fabric with unsure fingers and marvelled at his well toned chest and arms as she pulled it off.

"You my dear, are still fully dressed" he smirked and untied the front of her light blue silk dress. She sat up as he pulled it off gently and threw it on the ground. His eyes roamed helke's bare body hungrily as he slipped off his boots and trousers.

"What's happening?!" Asked helke suddenly, sitting up quickly.

"Do not be alarmed. This is what love feels like" he comforted and she slipped down again and allowed her to nip and lick at her neck and shoulder blade. She threw off his crown and his silver blond hair tickled her body. She giggled sweetly and pulled his hair back so that it rested on his back as he worked his lips down her neck. She cried out as his lips latched onto her breast and She arched into his touch, a strange new pleasant hotness coursing through her body.

"I love you" he said looking back up at her and pressed his lips to hers.

"I love you to" she said smiling at her king.

"this will only hurt for a minute" he promised and she nodded nervously, staring into his eyes before he entered her gently...

During intercourse helke had managed to suppress the ice which threatened to creep out, just from pure excitement. She panted as the king collapsed next to her, she had never felt anything so wonderful in all her life (although she had been alive for a very short time). It felt very strange for thranduil, having not had intercourse ever since his wife had died and was not use to the after feeling, the basking in the pleasure. He covered helke with the soft silver silk blanket and she began to get drousey.

'Finally' he thought to himself 'a night when she will sleep as much as I will!'

"Thranduil" helke said softly, taking his hand tightly

"What is it my love?" He asked as he leaned on his side, looking down at helke who was hugging her pillow.

"You will stay tonight wont you?" She asked nervously. There had been one occasion in which the king had had to leave a sleeping helke in the middle of the night. She had awoken nervously and had gotten herself worked up looking for him.

"Of course" he promised and kissed her forehead before pulling her into him and the two settled down.

Little did the two know that helke had just bonded with the elven king for life. The act of intercourse intertwining their lives and fates.

That night the king had a restful night but the next morning he found helke resting with her head on his chest, her arms locked around him. He feared any movement would wake her so he stayed put and rested for a little while longer until helke woke by herself. She smiled as she rested her chin on the king's chest and looked up at him.

"Good morning" she said happily.

"It is indeed" he agreed as he gently massaged the back of her head with his finger tips.

"You spoil me" she said shyly, smiling.

"I enjoy spoiling you, now breakfast?" He asked and she smiled widely. She had not eaten breakfast with the king ever since she had met him and had sometimes not eaten breakfast at all.

"What will you be having" she asked lazily.

"Fruit" he replied and helke scowled. She had never had 'fruit' only leaves and vegetables and one occasion a raw rabbit.

"Fruit?" She enquired as she sat up.

"Yes fruit, it is sweet" he said and she though for a moment.

"May I try some?" She asked politely.

"Helke my love, you may have anything you wish for" he boasted and she blushed. She suddenly looked down and remembered she was naked and grabbed the covers to cover herself with.

"Helke, you are not shying away from me are you?" He asked and she looked away blushing.

"I-" she started but he pressed his fingers to her lips.

"You need not be embarrassed. You are beautiful" he whispered and pulled the covers off of her, allowing the covers to slip off and he smiled at her delicate pale body.

Suddenly there was a knock in the door and helke slipped down and the king sat up, shielding his lover from prying eyes.

"Come in" he called cooly.

A young elleth maid peeped round the door timidly. She had heard that the king had a terrible temper and did not want to make him angry by interrupting anything. "I'm sorry for bothering you m'lord she said timidly "the kitchen elleth was just wondering whether you would be having breakfast in your chambers this morning?" She asked quietly.

"Yes I will be" said the king patiently. "Bring a wide range of fruits" he said and the elleth bowed and left.

"You're scary" laughed helke and the king chuckled.

"I am merely authoritative" he quipped and she smiled as she pressed her lips to his in a gently kiss. He kissed back just as gently and she allowed his tongue to slip into her mouth. Her Led her onto his lap as he massaged her tongue with his, coaxing her to be adventurous. She timidly deepened the kiss, rubbing her tongue along his and gently tugging his soft silver blond locks, making him moan quietly.

There was another knock at the door and the two pulled away as helke covered herself.

"Come in" he sighed as he sat fully up. The kitchen elleth which helke had become friends with entered, her head down in respect.

"Your food your highness" she said. setting a silver dish of a fantastic arrangement or sliced or peeled fruits and a porcelain jug of water down on a near by table. "Is there anything else I can get you my lord?" She asked.

"No that will be all" he said, waving her off and she curtseyed and flashed a tiny smile at helke before walking out. thranduil was just about to get up when helke got up instead and carefully took the jug off and lifted the silver plate up. She took it over to the bed and set it down carefully and slipped into an almost see through white nightgown before untying the silk curtains that surrounded the bed.

"You spoil me, so now it is my turn to spoil you" she purred and she plucked a grape from the bunch and fed it to thranduil. The elven king pulled the iceling to straddle his lap as she picked up a cube of dragon fruit and fed it to thranduil, allowing her fingers to brush against his lips. He watched with lust filled eyes as she slipped a peace of grapefruit Into her mouth. She stopped suddenly and ran to the bathroom and spat the bitter fruit out as the king chuckled. She wiped her mouth as she came back out, looking disheartened.

"Shall I do the choosing for you?" Thranduil asked in amusement and helke nodded. His fingers hovered over the fruit as he decided which fruit to choose. He ended up picking up a bright blue fruit by the name of - which was elvish for 'sweet' and gently placed it to her lips. She opened her mouth and cautiously consumed the fruit after a few slow chews she nodded happily and chewed enthusiastically and swallowed.

"Was that one better?" He asked and she nodded coyly.

After a breakfast of fruit thranduil slipped on his trousers and boots but helke slid her hands up his backs and shoulders, coaxing him to lie back down. He sat on the bed as she crawled up behind him and gently massaged his shoulders in circular motions. He breathed in deeply as she worked out all the knots in his shoulder. He hissed in pain when she hit a considerably tight knot and groaned quietly. She kissed his back gently as she continued to work through the knot and he moaned. She worked her hands down his back until he was completely relaxed and combed through his blonde locks with a wooden comb. She smiled as he dressed into a grey satin cloak and placed the crown upon his head.

"You will behave if I leave you here won't you?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at helke and she nodded obediently.

"You know where to find me" he said before kissing her gently and he nodded. He shut the door behind Him and helke went over to the bookshelf...finding some interesting books to read.
