*Thranduil's POV*

As I walked away from Amara I felt something in me stir that hasn't stirred in years, I felt passion, desire, want…love. As I went back into the party I was greeted by some king of a land.

"King Thranduil." He said with a bow

"Hello. I do so hope you are enjoying the party." I said, the man already making my nerves go short

"It is indeed a splendid party. I have a request, this here is my daughter Leahlia." He said as he stepped to the side and a young woman stepped up her eyes down cast, "I was hoping perhaps you would take a favor to her."

I had to fight back the urge to laugh, "I am sorry to disappoint but I have no need for a woman." I said rather brazenly, holding my head high to get my point across.

The man leaned forward, "I saw you with that young maiden earlier, and you seemed to have taken quite the liking to her. No one has seen you dance with anyone in centuries, surly she must be something special."

The man struck a nerve in me and I couldn't help but to frown in distaste at him, "Who I dance with or keep in my company is none of your concern. Now I suggest you leave before I have my guards make you leave." I snarled at the man.

"As you wish. But do not forget that there are eyes watching everywhere." He said eerily before he turned and walked away.

This put me in a sour mood for the rest of the festival, my mind kept drifting to Amara. She had vexed me, she had simply stumbled into my woods while escaping orcs, and yet I found myself yearning to learn every single possible thing about her. I had never felt this way about anyone before, not even my late wife, the one who bore my only son. She and I simply wed so I could have a son, nothing more, nothing less.

As soon as the majority of the party was over I found myself walking towards Amara's chambers, it's like my feet had a mind of their own and were pulling me towards her. Once in front of her door I reached a hand up and firmly knocked on it, suddenly feeling nervous.

Amara opened the door wearing only a short silk night gown, my jaw dropped slightly and my gaze couldn't leave her. She looked like a goddess.

"Oh, hello My King." She said bowing, "I was not expecting you."

"What have I told you about addressing me?" I said almost playfully.

"I'm sorry…Thranduil." She said hesitating slightly.

"May I come in?"

"Of course, sorry to keep you waiting." She stepped aside allowing me to come in, closing the door behind me.

She had the windows open that led out to her balcony, the air came breezing through giving it a pleasantly warm feeling. There was a book open on the desk with a cup of tea placed beside it, obviously where she was sitting before I had come in. I walked to the desk and picked up the book, it was a species book, on the many species of Middle Earth.

"I'm kind of trying to find out more about myself. But there's nothing on mortals with magic blood. It's as if we don't really exist." She said as she walked up beside me.

I turned to her abruptly, her green eyes widened in shock, her pupils dilated, I could hear her heartbeat increase, blood flushing in her cheeks. Everything in her came alive. My hands went to her waist as I pulled her body towards me, she looked up into my eyes, her plump pink lips slightly parted, looking oh so inviting.

"Thranduil…" She whispered as my head leaned forward, our lips were so close. But then the King's words flashed through my mind and made me hesitate.

"Oh by the Valar…" I said exasperated as I pulled Amara to me and pressed my lips firmly against hers. I took her by surprise but I felt her relax in my embrace and wrap her arms around my neck, pulling at my hair. I picked her up and sat her on the desk we were standing by, her legs wrapped around my hips as she held me between her legs. I bit her bottom lip roughly and she gasped, I took the opportunity to slip my tongue into her mouth. Our tongues battled for dominance as the kiss heated up even more. She grabbed my hair roughly and I let out an animalistic growl. Once we broke for air I immediately began attacking her neck with kisses and nips. Her breathy moans were like music to my ears. The way her body arched against mine, allowing me to feel every curve of her other worldly body made my mind blur with need. I have never wanted someone like I wanted Amara right now, she was like an addiction that I had managed to get hooked on.

I finally pulled away and rested my forehead against hers, we were both breathless, our eyes hazy with desire and passion.

"I'm sorry…" I said, realizing that I had only known her for a short time and felt like maybe I had been taking advantage of her kindness.

"No, please don't apologize. That was wonderful, completely unexpected but very welcomed."

I breathed an internal sigh of relief that she enjoyed the kiss as much as I did, I for one needed a cold bath now because of that encounter.

"I bid you good night fair maiden." I said cupping her face in my hands, placing a soft kiss upon her lips.

"Good night Thranduil… My King." She whispered.

I turned and walked away, stopping at her door, turning around to look at her once more before leaving. I leaned back against her door once I closed it. I was a King, I was to be completely calm and composed all of the time. But there was just something in that woman that threw them out of the window and into the wind with a mere blink of her deep emerald green eyes. I ran a hand through my hair and let out a deep breath I didn't realize I had been holding before I left to go take a cold bath. No matter what Amara was mine.

They finally kissed! I wanted to wait at least a little bit before getting the romance to heat up. But please if you want to leave a review so I can make my stories better for ya'll. XOXO
