Raelee felt the bed dip beside her.

She reluctantly opened her eyes. Her entire body protested.

She was still so tired.

Probably due to her ravenous bedmate not letting her sleep until the early hours of the morning.

A quick glance at the clock beside the bed showed that her shift wasn't over for another hour.

"Welcome back." The king grinned above her.

She flinched with a start. He chuckled down at her.

"Good morning, my- Thranduil."

"Someone looks sleepy." It was only then that she noticed his fingers tickling along her thighs. Her eyes began to close again. "I'll have to find some way to wake you up."

"Water." She scratched out.

"What was that?" His hand moved down to her calf.

"May I have some water?"

"Of course." He reached to the side of the bed, and she had a moment to force herself to lean up as he handed her the glass.

Why was she so thirsty?

She gulped it down so fast that some of it dripped down her chest.

"Damn." She moved to wipe it away when Thranduil pushed her down and licked away the escaped water.

She watched as he meticulously licked away the water.

He licked a droplet that landed in her nipple.

He began sucking the bud into his mouth.

Raelee held onto his shoulders as he sucked.

A gasp escaped her throat when his teeth nipped the bud.

Thranduil released it with a small pop.

"Delicious."

She blushed at his jovial demeanour. He was certainly in a good mood.

"Do you want some?" She handed him the glass.

He put it back on the side table with a chuckle.

"I am thirsty for something slightly more full-bodied and refined in taste."

She raised a brow.

"It's far too early for wine."

"Indeed."

His lips began kissing down her neck and torso until he had moved down her body and slowly moved her legs apart.

That swine.

Raelee took a deep breath. She loved it when he did this.

She sat up slightly and saw his eyes tracking her bare mound.

Raelee's brows furrowed with unease and she began to close her legs slightly.

"Something wrong?"

He licked his lips.

"Nothing whatsoever." His thumbs spread her petals and she laid back with a groan. "Ah, there it is." His thumb traced her clit.

She was still sensitive from their escapades the night before.

"You have such a pretty pussy." He growled at her. She felt herself clench. She was getting wet. "You were so enthusiastic last night that it is a wonder I haven't broken you." He mused.

He almost did.

"Is that why you're looking so closely at me?"

"Partly." He looked back up at her. "It is simply a view I adore." He sighed contentedly and leant down to give her a long slow lick. She gasped and widened her legs to accommodate his frame. Now she was fully awake. "You, my dear, are utterly stunning."

He began flicking his tongue over her clit.

"Are you ready for me?" He growled. "Yes you are." He smirked up at her as he circled her opening. Raelee pulled her breath in over her teeth. "Naughty girl." Then his finger moved back up to massage her clit, making small, languid circles. "So wet...so eager to be tasted...to be filled..."

He kissed her again, harder, this time opening his mouth so his lips and tongue could caress her clit at leisure. Raelee felt her breathing increase as Thranduil sucked her clit, encircling it with his lips.

He slid his fingers up, stroking lightly just on the outside of her pussy, teasing, once again not entering her. He was just wetting the very tips of his fingers on her as his mouth drew her pleasure out bit by bit.

He dipped one finger into her, just up to the first knuckle. As he did, Raelee felt her pussy tighten, willing him to go in more. "Please go deeper." She said, her words coming out in a moan.

Thranduil stopped. "I am unsure I know what you mean." He said, feigning confusion. "Deeper where?" Once again, he darted his tongue quickly across her now fully sensitized clit.

Raelee felt all the blood rush to her face.

In his typical fashion, Thranduil was making her take accountability for her pleasure by having her ask.

"Deeper into my…" She gasped as he took her clit in his mouth again, tonguing it back and forth as he sucked her.

He stopped once again, waiting for her. Thranduil moved his finger against her, again not going any deeper, just stroking up and down. "This is your last chance before I stop and have to start all over again."

"Deeper into my… pussy," Raelee finally whispered, her face on fire. "P-please, Thranduil."

"Now that was not so hard, manners cost nothing after all." Thranduil whispered back before rewarding her, easing his fingers fully into her and then pulling them back again. "Such filthy requests from such a good girl." He murmured. "And one with such a tasty little pussy." Thranduil moved his fingers in and out of her as he licked and sucked at her clit, now starting to speed up as Raelee moaned.

She felt her leg muscles tightening, her lower back arching, her muscles clenching, and her breathing become nothing more than rapid panting as Thranduil masterfully brought her closer to orgasm. He didn't stop this time, luckily for Raelee, but let her ride it out in its natural progression into ecstasy.

Raelee put her own hand into her mouth and bit down on the back to try and keep the volume down as she climaxed.

Thranduil kept licking her as she came down. She shivered with each lick.

When her climax finally abated, she laid back trying to catch her breath.

"Satisfied?" Thranduil leant over her panting form.

"Almost." She blushed.

"Is that so? Is there anything else I can do for you?" He grinned down at her.

"I think I'd like to have you inside me right now." She said without shame.

Thranduil tilted his head. "I have been inside of you for the last few minutes."

She wanted to wipe that look of confusion off his smug face. He could be such a tease sometimes.

"I meant with your..." Why was it so difficult?

Thranduil raised an eyebrow, waiting. "My what?"

"…Your big cock." Once again it came out as a whisper.

His eyes darkened.

"And where would you like it?"

"In my… pussy."

Thranduil smiled, comprehension dawning. "Ah... do you want me to fuck you?" His smooth voice landed hard on the dirty word, making Raelee's stomach clench.

"Yes, please."

"If you insist."

Before she could say anything, he quickly pulled her beneath him and slowly pushed his cock into her. He pulled back and thrusted in again, harder. She groaned with each thrust and withdrawal.

With one hand, he threaded his fingers into her hair, keeping their eyes locked.

His pupils were almost black as he panted above her.

Every now and again he would hit something that would make her yelp.

Every time he did, he attached their lips.

They kissed as he sped up his thrusts.

One of her hands moved down to her clit and started to circle it.

He broke the kiss and looked down at her movements.

"Good girl."

Raelee felt pressure building between her thighs as he sped up. He began caressing her nipples with his thumb.

She cried out with each harsh thrust.

The knot behind her belly grew tighter.

Raelee's back arched as she came again.

Thranduil moved his hands down to her hips, pushing hard and fast into her.

After a few moments, he lifted her knees with both hands and pushed her legs up, going into her even deeper, before coming himself with a groan of pleasure.

He stayed inside of her for a moment or two, catching his breath.

He pulled out with a grunt and pulled her onto his chest.

"You are insatiable, my king."

"You are just as greedy." His hand tilted her face up.

Their lips met in a kiss, and it took all her willpower to push him away.

"I know you have a meeting with Tauriel this morning. I wouldn't want you to be late."

"Ah yes. More trouble in the Greenwood. However, I am the king. No one would care if I was an hour late." His fingers circled her thigh. "Maybe two."

His eyes darkened in obvious lust.

She giggled despite herself.

"Even you can't escape your duty." With a final peck to his lips she moved to find her clothing. "And I do believe you will break me if we were to go again."

He flopped back with a groan.

"What will you do today?"

"I will be going to bed. I had very little sleep last night for some unknown reason." She smirked.

"Make sure you rest well. Who knows if you will be able to sleep tonight?"

She had adjusted the ties of her uniform.

"Oh I'm sure my tormentor will tire of me eventually." She giggled.

"I sincerely doubt that." He grinned as she made to exit.

"My king." She spoke over her shoulder.

Xxx

Raelee finished up in the food hall. Eating porridge to save face. It was her breakfast time after all.

Even after her rather stimulating morning with the king, she still only managed to have a two-hour nap before her body woke up.

Raelee made her way to the exit, exchanging pleasantries with Adrien and Calel on the way.

She heard yelling coming down the corridor.

"Why is everyone in my service burdened by incompetence!"

She knew that voice all too well.

It sounded like the king was shouting at someone.

"My king, it was not me."

"Do you take me for a fool?"

"N-no, my king."

"Then how do you explain the missing stock?"

"It is not my wish to pass blame, but I am not the only one with access to your rooms. Perhaps that new girl…what was her name again?"

She looked around the corner to see Galion and the king toe to toe.

"What new girl?"

"That night guard… Ray-, Ral-ley, Ray lee- Raelee! That's it."

She watched a tense look cross the king's face.

"And why would she attempt something this foolish?"

"She has access to your rooms. It's no secret that she has a fondness for wine." She could hear the insinuation in his voice.

"Raelee would not be careless enough to attempt such a feat. Find out who did this or Raelee will be taking over your other duties as well."

The king swiftly turned on his heels and left the hall.

She remained hidden around a corner.

Part of her wanted to run and hide, but a new part of her wanted to confront Galion about whatever he was trying to accuse her of doing.

With a determined resolve, she darted around the corner.

Galion was heading her way, but stopped at the sight of her.

"Just what am I supposed to have done?"

"Ah, there you are…" He pretended to be glad to see her. Her narrowed eyes gave away her annoyance. "...How much of that did you hear?"

"Enough to know that someone with access to the king's rooms has been a little light-fingered, shall we say."

"Yes, the king is missing some wine."

"And you thought that I was the one stealing from the king?"

"Everyone is a suspect, I assure you."

"Well, be sure to cross me off that list. I haven't stolen anything." She gave him no chance to reply before she brushed past him.

She didn't get very far before she was accosted by another.

"Raelee!" Tauriel ran down the corridor. "Have you seen the summer calendar?"

"No, why?"

"There are a number of feasts, more so than any summer I can remember."

"Any reason?"

"I believe that the Greenwood council is trying to broker a new trade agreement with Lothlórien and Rivendell."

"And that means more feasts?"

"Indeed. What better way to argue for a new deal than over a glass of wine?"

"Couldn't agree more."

The pair made their way down to the recesses of the halls.

"Would you care to join me for a drink?"

"I would love to, but I must prepare for my post."

"Let me know when there is a break in your schedule, and I will buy the first round."

With a small laugh the pair parted ways.

She decided to walk the long way to her quarters.

There were small congregations of ladies gathered outside of the tavern.

Raelee paid them no mind.

"What do you mean he hasn't taken anyone to bed in over a moon?"

"I have asked around, and either people are being uncharacteristically quiet, or the rumours are true, and he has not taken a new lover."

"This is the king we are talking about, right?"

Raelee's heart stopped.

They were speaking about his escapades. Or lack thereof.

"Perhaps he's had his fill of whores."

Muffled giggles emitted from the group.

"That's rich coming from one of his last conquests." A voice Raelee recognised called out.

Raelee tried to blend into the background as Lauryn turned to the elf.

"Lauryn, I didn't see you there."

"One learns that the best place to hear the kingdom's gossip is just outside the tavern."

"So you have nothing better to do than eavesdrop on us?"

"And you have nothing better to do than reminisce about your failed attempt to win the king's heart?" Lauryn laughed at her hurt expression. "You are such a naïve girl. He may enjoy your attentions for a time, but you will always be just a whore to him. No matter what."

The elf and her friends tried to leave. Raelee felt her stomach twist.

"And you can't even say you walked away with your dignity. He told us how you begged him to marry you. That you would make a fine queen. As if that would save your reputation."

With that, Lauryn returned to her fellow councillors. They didn't seem bothered by her words. If anything, they seemed amused.

Raelee felt her breathing grow shallow.

She needed to get out before Lauryn saw her.

At least there was no more talk of the king's supposed celibacy. Once those within earshot heard Lauryn scolding that poor elf, they quickly returned to safer topics.

The summer calendar being on the top of everyone's list.
