Story Summary:
When Legolas meets Aragorn's most unique and
desirable former lover, can he tame her wild heart or will he destroy
her spirit by a simple miscalculation of judgement?
Detailed sex but not too much smut. Sweet smut?
Tolkien purists: Forewarning - Deviated so far from the books it isn't
funny! And LACE? Never heard of it before I wrote this story.
Obviously, neither had Vanelossë or Legolas!
This story
was written a long time ago and posted before I discovered betas so
please forgive the mistakes. I have too many WIPs now to rewrite it.
Chapter 10
About Last Night...
“Good morning.” She said softly.
Pulling her closer as he closed his eyes again, he sighed and said, “It
is not morning yet. Go back to sleep or we will have to face the rest
of the world.”
“We could just stay in bed and hide here all day.” She suggested.
“We could but what would we do in bed all day?” He said with a smile still not opening his eyes.
“I can think of a few things. The rest we will have to figure out
together.” She whispered in his ear. She lightly traced his ear with
her tongue and he growled and pulled her underneath him while she
giggled.
All of the sudden, they heard someone pounding on the door. Debating on
whether or not she should answer it, she heard Elladan and Elrohir
calling her name through the door. Rolling her eyes, she started to
slide out from under Legolas.
“Just ignore them.” He said trying to pull her back into bed.
“No. They will never give up and go away.” She was trying to find
something to put on quick and grabbed a dress off the back of the chair
and threw it on. As she reached the bedroom door, Legolas whispered her
name loudly.
“What?” She turned back and saw him smiling at her and pointing to the
back of her dress. Realizing that it had gotten tangled and that part
of the back of the dress was tucked into the waistband leaving her
whole backside bare, she laughed. While she fixed it quickly, Legolas
chuckled and laid his head back down. She closed the bedroom door and
walked over and opened the front door.
“We were beginning to think you were not going to open the door.” Elrohir said
Elladan looked terrible as he said, “We came to apologize for last night.”
“Oh, you did? I am waiting.” She said trying to look mad.
“It was not my idea.” Elrohir said as Elladan punched him in the arm.
Glaring at his brother, he argued, “Well, it was not my idea!”
“To be honest, I am not surprised that either of you did it. You two
have been making my life sheer torture for as long as I can remember. I
was surprised that you two would go that far but somehow, I am not
totally shocked.” She said with a sigh.
“You know we only do things to get your attention, beautiful.” Elladan smiled at her trying to look adorable. She laughed.
“You never give up, do you Elladan?” She shook her head. “Luckily for
you two, I talked to Aragorn and Legolas last night and I guess I will
forgive you as well.”
“Where are those two anyway? I have not seen them since last night.
Arwen was looking angry at us this morning so we were afraid to ask
her. I hate to say but I think she knows about you and Estel now. Since
he knew where to find you in your secret hiding place, she must have
figured it out.” Elrohir said sadly. “This whole bet has really caused
a lot of trouble and we are very sorry.”
“I know. And you two cannot be blamed for Arwen finding out. We should
have told her sooner ourselves. I never wanted to hurt her.” She said
sadly.
“Unfortunately, you will get to talk to her tonight about it. That is
part of the reason we are here. My father was very concerned about you
last night as well as Arwen and Legolas. He has insisted that you come
to dinner tonight. If you do not come there, he will probably come here
to check on you. He has sensed something is not right between us all.”
Elrohir said.
“You did not tell him about the bet, did you?”
”Of course not. For one thing, we knew it would upset you even more to
find out he knew and for another thing we did not want him throttling
us.” Elladan replied. “I assume that everything is fine between you,
Aragorn, and Legolas.”
“Yes.” She felt the blush creep up to her cheeks.
Elrohir looked at her strangely. Quickly she said, “I have a lot to do today so I will see you tonight.”
As she closed the door behind her, she sighed. Knowing they had caught
her and Estel fairly quickly, she knew it was only a matter of time
before they found out about her relationship with Legolas but she did
not want to think about it now.
Walking back into the bedroom, she was surprised to find Legolas up getting dressed.
“Where are you going?” She asked disappointed.
“I need to make sure that Aragorn found Arwen and those two have made
up. As soon as I do, I will get my stuff for tonight and come back here
for you.” Leaning over to kiss her, he smiled. “You could wait in bed
for me if you want.”
“Or you could stay.” She said putting her arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her deeply.
When he pulled away, he sighed “I will feel much better if I know things are fine with them. And I know you will as well.”
Nodding, she said. “Yes. You are right. But do not be gone long or I will get terribly lonely.”
At the door, he turned to her and smiled. “Gerich velethen. ” (You have my love) Then he left.
She felt like her heart was going to explode. She knew it must be a sin
to be this happy and in love. He was correct about Arwen and Aragorn.
The possibility that the two of them might be having problems because
of her worried her to no end. When she heard another knock on the door,
she assumed he had forgotten something. Smiling, she opened the door.
She was shocked to see Arwen on the other side. Her smile melted as the
guilt washed over her.
“You do not look very happy to see me.” Arwen said smiling.
