Part: 1/3 Title: Elven Medicine Author: Diamond (juweldom@yahoo.com ) Rating: NC-17 Pairing: Legolas/Frodo (Legolas/Aragorn) Warnings: interspecies Disclaimer: All characters herein belong to Tolkien (sob!); I make no monetary profit from this but give me feedback and I'm a happy lass. Summary: Legolas wants to help heal Frodo. So does Aragorn. Notes: This has probably been done, but oh well! Written in response to the word challenge for the Frodo_slash group. The words: Succulent, curls, goosedown. *** *Legolas* The Council of Elrond was revealing to Legolas, in more ways than one. He had journeyed from his father's hall only to deliver the terrible news of Gollum's escape, to volunteer for efforts to recapture him if it was needed. Aragorn he knew, from his prior visits to Mirkwood--and Legolas's bed-- but the other faces there were all strangers to him. Legolas had heard of Bilbo, of course, but until he saw his kinsman Frodo, he had never realized hobbits could be beautiful. And Frodo was beautiful. Exquisitely so. Legolas watched his humble bravery, his suffering in attending a council only a day after awakening from a wound that had nearly defeated him, that could have felled even an elf lord, and he was awed beyond words at this small one's wisdom and selflessness to take upon him a hopeless mission, in effect sacrificing himself. And the eyes. There wasn't a flower in the field, a gemstone in his father's treasury Legolas could find that would match the hue. With his unruly mop of tousled curls, his ruby red lips, and the translucency of his skin . . . Legolas simply had to have him. Not for love, of course, not an Age of all Ages betrothal of hearts. It was much simpler--he had to taste that beauty, wrap himself up in that marvelous delicate frame and grant him what pleasure he could before he set out on his doomed quest. Perhaps Frodo would be astonished and flattered by the attentions of an elven prince. Perhaps he would be flustered and embarrassed--Legolas knew not the custom of his kind, how free they were to love each other in all myriad forms. Small matter. He would have him, and have him willing. All it would take was the right set of circumstances. After the Council, Legolas went to see Aragorn, to ask his advice (and say farewell as the Ranger was leaving for Lothlorien on the morn). He kissed him languidly and poured wine for the two of them, coming to sit on his grand oak bed, tilting his head to watch Aragorn come and join him, smiling, a knowing look in his grey eyes. "Who is it? You have the look of a predator about you today, dear friend," Aragorn said, sipping at his wine. Legolas chuckled, stretching out on the bed, slowly, like a cat. "The periannath. The beautiful Ringbearer." There was silence from Aragorn. Turning over on his stomach, Legolas looked up at the Dunadan, eyeing him. "Is that a problem? Would I be trespassing on your territory?" The look on Aragorn's face was hooded-- Legolas knew that expression all too well, when Aragorn fancied something he felt he should not. Ah, the intricate moralities of humankind. All the restraints of a short lifespan, poor health that passed like a summer storm, and still they had to limit themselves further with social rules and codes of behavior. Aragorn recovered swiftly--he had never been one to show emotion long; it was only those who knew what to look for who would have noticed anything in the first place. "No, not at all. I am his protector--it would hardly be appropriate. Especially in the House of Elrond, and my betrothed." Ah, so he was still trying to convince himself. And worried for the hobbit's well being. "You know I can show infinite care. I will not hurt him. Quite the opposite. I see he has been suffering of his wound. I plan to bring him comfort." Legolas smiled wryly. Aragorn chuckled, trailing a hand up the elf's back, the callused fingers scratching through the silk dressing robe Legolas had changed into after the Council. "A little elven medicine?" Legolas arched into his touch. "Precisely. Have you any objections, then? Or perhaps any advice?" Aragorn bent to kiss behind his ear, sending a shiver up Legolas's spine. "No objections. But understand his people are reserved about matters of physical love; he may not be comfortable with your open expression. He seems quite shy, innocent. Be gentle with him. I *am* quite fond of Frodo." Legolas turned onto his back again, looking into Aragorn's eyes. "Naturally. I shall do nothing he does not want." He leaned up, brushing his lips across Aragorn's. "Now, for your farewell . . ." *** Legolas waited a day before coming to see the hobbit, the better to observe him with his friends, to let him feel the absence of Aragorn (and observe if perhaps Frodo showed any interest that Aragorn should know of on his behalf) and of course to recover a little from the time spent with Aragorn. Never good form to seduce a possible innocent with bite marks on your shoulder. Frodo's shoulder had been troubling him, as the weather had suddenly turned cooler--Legolas had overheard him speaking to Mithrandir about it. Mithrandir seemed to be almost a parental figure to Frodo, watching over him like a mother eagle as he slept. That would never do. He approached Mithrandir and offered to take a watch, saying he had some oils to use as a rub that would do Frodo's shoulder well. Undoubtedly the wizard suspected something, but he smiled and shrugged. "I don't think he'll be interested in you, Legolas, but he might benefit from a massage. Don't tire him out." "Of course not," Legolas said smoothly. So that cleared things up for him to steal outside Frodo's bed chamber as the hour drew upon midnight, after a hearty banquet during which Legolas had tried to get a moment to speak with him, but Frodo had spent the entire evening with his hobbit friends, and that dwarf--the son of Gloin, who had caused such trouble in Tharanduil's halls. Well, never mind. Talk was unnecessary. Legolas stood just outside the doorway of Frodo's bedchamber, his keel elven sight piercing the darkness and the shadows to watch the small figure lying sprawled in the massive bed, black curls stark against the white linen sheets, the goosedown pillows. Legolas drew closer, silent footfalls on marble floors, bathed in the moonlight streaming through an open window, his hair falling forward as he bent to gaze down on the sleeping figure. He smiled. Moonlight only enhanced the pale perfection of Frodo's skin, so smooth, and undoubtedly soft. Legolas reached out a hand to hover over Frodo's cheek, inches away but not quite touching, not yet. Wayward curls he longed to bury his face in and smell, run his fingers through. Strawberry lips just begging to be kissed, the ivory throat and the perfect jawline . . . succulent. Twas the only fitting word for this prince of hobbitkind. Legolas licked his lips, feeling himself harden, ready. He lowered his hand to caress Frodo's cheek. The dark lashes fluttered, but Legolas drew back and stood still, like a statue, waiting for sleep to deepen once more. Frodo rolled onto his side, whimpering as his arm moved. The shoulder. It must still trouble him. Legolas brought out the vial he had brought from his chambers--a rosemary, thyme, lavender and chamomile blend that worked wonders on sore muscles which cleared the mind and also cleansed the wound--from his own personal stock. He set it on the night table. Brushing his hair back, Legolas bent over, intending to kiss Frodo awake, but before his lips could touch the porcelain skin, Frodo's brows drew together in sudden fear, sudden pain. His eyelids fluttered in the midst of some dream and he frowned, shaking his head a little. Legolas watched, fascinated by the play of emotion. Ten suddenly with a gasp, Frodo woke up, half sitting up, clutching his shoulder. At the look of terror on his fair face, the pain, Legolas immediately drew him in for an embrace. Frodo looked to him in bewilderment, drawing back, his mouth falling open. He touched Legolas's face as if to ascertain he was real. "Who are you? Where is Gandalf? Or Sam?" "Shh," Legolas cooed, brushing his finger over Frodo's face, steadying him so that in drawing away the hobbit didn't put any pressure on his shoulder. "We met at the Council. I'm Legolas of Mirkwood. Would you like me to light a taper for you to better see? You were dreaming--your wound pains you. I am only here to aid you." Frodo put a tentative hand to Legolas's hair, gently moved the elf's head so that he was illuminated in a patch of moonlight, small hand trailing over the golden braids, up over one pointed ear. Legolas repressed a shiver, holding his breath lest he reveal his desires. "Legolas. Yes, I remember-- you spoke of Gollum escaping. Why are you here?" There wasn't exactly mistrust in his voice, but neither was there trust. The dwarf perhaps had given a bad report of the Mirkwood elves, or Bilbo perhaps. It was not the reaction Legolas had hoped for, but certainly not unexpected. "I talked to Aragorn and Mithrandir, that you call 'Gandalf' . . . I am quite fascinated by you, Frodo. You are beautiful, and I admire your strength against the ills that have already befallen you, that may yet await. I noted that your wound troubles you still. I have not Elrond's skill perhaps, but he is lately occupied with the scouting. I thought perhaps to show you a bit of Mirkwood medicine. I promise it will relax you, ease your pain. Perhaps chase away the dreams a while as well. Will you let me tend you?" Legolas spoke low in Frodo's ear, trailing a finger up over the hobbits arm, around the silken bandage, up his shoulder and neck to his delicate pointed ear. A flicker of something--ah, pleasure, just a flicker, but it was a start-- passed over Frodo's face, and Legolas noted a slight shiver pass through him at the touch along his throat. Pleasure point. Noted. "What is your purpose, then? You must forgive me if I seem rude, but I don't know you well," Frodo said in a low voice, looking him over. Legolas smiled. He had chosen his clothing carefully--an ice green silken tunic, long-sleeved and low-necked, falling to mid thigh with gossamer light hosen. The buttons on the tunic were mostly for show--only a few fastenings help the piece in place. The front plunged quite deep to expose some chest, and Legolas noted Frodo's eyes traveling there with great interest, shy, but avid. "Yes, I understand. I propose a rubbing in of special oils used by my people for the care of wounds on the mend. You will find it pleasant, I believe. And the smell is said to be of benefit as well. Here," Legolas whispered, unstoppering the bottle and passing it to Frodo, letting their fingers graze. As Frodo took a smell, Legolas brushed his hand up and down his neck again, pretending to inspect the bandage. "I suspect the bandage is due for changing, in any case. Remove your shirt. Allow me to see to your comfort." Legolas could see the thoughts whirling in Frodo's face--this was the House of Elrond, was it not? Several elves had undoubtedly tended him-- what was one more? That's right, Legolas thought at him--I am a friend. Relax. Enjoy. Frodo glanced at his shoulder, moving it with obvious stiffness, grimacing. "Very well. It has bedeviled me today. The first night Aragorn came by and massaged it--I must confess it helped." "Did he?" Legolas said, smiling devilishly. The sneaky human. "He is a man. I assure you in the hands of an elf, you will find it even more beneficial. I have a little healing skill of my own--let's see what I can do for you." Frodo smiled, apparently convinced, for the moment, anyway. That was fine. It was the first few steps which were the hardest, naturally, in any seduction. Frodo raised his arms, allowing Legolas to pull off the nightshirt and begin removing the bandage. Then Frodo's eyes widened in belated realization. He clutched the covers to him. "I neglected to think. I'm bare under here." Oh, the effect those words were having on Legolas--he hooded his eyes, breathing slowly against the heavy ache in his groin. "Worry not about that. I have lived to see nearly a full Age pass. Believe me when I say I have seen it all. Lay down for me on your back, please, Frodo. Just try to relax. And if I should cause you any pain, tell me immediately--breathing deeply will help to ease the muscles. Very well?" "Quite well," Frodo agreed, and allowed Legolas to position his arms out on the pillows and kneel by his side to pour some of the golden oil into his long slender hands. Legolas rubbed his hands together to warm up the oil, then very gently spread it over the wound, bathing it in the aromatic oil, breathing in the scents of his home, working it slowly into the tender flesh. At first Frodo sucked in his breath, but as Legolas's warm hands rubbed heat into the cold flesh, his shoulders untensed, his eyes closed, and he let out a deep breath. "That is . . . not unpleasant," Frodo mused. "It shall get better, I promise. I shall massage your neck and torso as well-- often it is tense muscles which exacerbate the pain. Just drift. Indulge in the sensations, dear hobbit," Legolas said in a low melodious tone, soothing with his voice and words as well as with his hands. He poured a little more oil out, this time onto Frodo's chest, and began massaging in a spiraling pattern out from the wound, first at the shoulder muscles, down under the arm pit and down the arm, then under and over the breast, brushing his callused fingers in circles around Frodo's dark bud, making it tighten and pucker, watching the pleasure begin to surface in Frodo's expression. Frodo opened his eyes, his lips parted slightly, watching Legolas, but said nothing. Legolas gave a very tiny smile, reassuring him, and began massaging the other shoulder and arm, under the arm, and again the breast, paying this nipple even more attention, flicking and rubbing it until he heard Frodo gasp. "I don't believe *that* is part of the medicine," Frodo said in a husky voice, but he made no move to turn away or stop Legolas, still watching him with wide blue eyes, panting softly now. Legolas bent to take the puckered nipple into his mouth, rolling it around his teeth and tongue before answering. "No, it is not. Would you like me to stop?" He leaned in to take the other nipple into his mouth, sucking greedily at it. "Umm," Frodo groaned, arching a little up against him. His breath hitched in pain. Legolas gently pushed him back down, gently rubbing the wounded shoulder. "Now I promised I would not hurt you. Just lie back, relax." He went back to using his fingers only, tweaking and swirling them around the nipples, down the ribcage, up the sides, watching passion build in Frodo's eyes. But he saw faint denial as well. "Here is a proposal. I'll massage your back next--really you won't get the full benefit unless I do both sides. Then you can decide if you want to do anything else. Is the oil and rub working? You are feeling less pain?" "Yes," Frodo said, nodding, bringing his hands up to hold Legolas's head as he continued to suck and lick his chest, his pointed tongue swirling over the wound itself. "Oh--that *does* help!" Frodo said with a gasp in wonder. Legolas chuckled. "Then I shall continue the treatment--I told you I had some skill." He leaned over to lightly brush his lips against Frodo's just the barest touch, hardly even a true kiss, just to get Frodo thinking, make him wonder just what it would be like. Legolas straightened. "Now roll over." ***** TBC ***** Part: 2/3 Title: Elven Medicine Author: Diamond (juweldom@yahoo.com ) Rating: NC-17 Pairing: Legolas/Frodo (Legolas/Aragorn) Warnings: interspecies Disclaimer: All characters herein belong to Tolkien (sob!); I make no monetary profit from this but give me feedback and I'm a happy lass.

The words: Succulent, curls, goosedown. Thanks to Claudia for wonderful beta reading! *** *Frodo* He had woken up from a restless sleep, his shoulder on fire though cold to the touch, images of Black Riders bearing down upon him in his dreams. To find Legolas by his bedside was--well, it was certainly a surprise. He had seen the elf and listened to his words, thought him a fair fellow despite Gloin's aversion to him, but to have him asking to personally tend him? Well it was a little embarrassing, really. This was the son of a king. Nevermind that Elrond himself had tended him; this was a guest, taking on the host's chores. Frodo didn't know quite what to think of it. But as the elf’s hands moved over Frodo’s flesh and he suddenly dipped his head to take a nipple into his mouth, watching Frodo with fiery dark blue eyes, it suddenly became clear why Legolas was tending him. Frodo had heard--and discounted--a tale or two about woodland elves, about their passions. But he could not discount the incredible sensations running through him at Legolas's talented mouth, his firm hands. The ache of the wound was a distant buzz. He would do anything to continue these sensations, experience this elven 'skill'. He'd had few lovers. None of them had ever thought to play with his nipples before. "Now roll over," Legolas then said, and Frodo sighed inwardly, thinking that the fun was over. What had possessed him to protest it? He caught Legolas looking at him, smiling as if holding back a laugh--was he being funny? "You *are* enjoying this, I think," Legolas murmured, and with his help Frodo turned over, being careful not to put strain on his shoulder. It was only as Legolas straddled his hips that he realized in his movements the sheets had slipped down so that his buttocks were now half-exposed. Feeling the soft material of Legolas's hosen against bare skin and the ache that produced, he half turned to glance at Legolas, wondering if he should protest *this*. "Better angle to work on your back; that is all," Legolas said smoothly easing him back down. "Close your eyes. Drift," he ordered, and Frodo strove to do so, though the thoughts that drifted to him now were anything but relaxing. Intoxicating, more than anything else, those hands now rubbing firmly along the muscles down his spine, working hard at the knots. Oh. Yes; he needed that. Groaning happily, Frodo stretched out and did start to relax, letting the elf work away the tension, the pain--there were some parts where he had to breathe deeply, trying to expel the pain, but Legolas was very gentle, letting him rest between working on the harder areas, combining firm pressure with butterfly light touches that delighted and calmed. And indeed he *did* have a skill--there was something glowing about his touch, heat or elven magic; Frodo didn't know, but it chased away darkness and torment. The shoulder felt almost as it had when Elrond checked it, when Aragorn had placed his athelas to it. He felt loose and pliable, swimming in warm pleasure, almost but not quite asleep. Then he felt teeth on his shoulder. And lips, brushing down his back, and nails, lightly scratching. Against his bottom he felt a hard ridge--but surely, that wasn't Legolas . . . "Content?" Legolas purred into Frodo's ear, nibbling it as well. A hot shock of pleasure traveled down Frodo’s back, hardening his shaft which had begun to soften during the massage. "Uh huh," Frodo whispered, wiggling his hips to rub his member into the feather mattress, brush his buttocks against Legolas, testing--yes, that was indeed him. What did this mean? Did Legolas really want him . . . that way? That was answered for him by the little nips down his neck and across his shoulder, each one sending off sparks that made him gasp and mewl, thrusting up harder at Legolas. Oh but he was on fire! "You are so beautiful, young one," Legolas said with a sigh, changing his position to lie atop him, rubbing himself full length against Frodo, pushing down the covers further in his movements. Frodo moaned. "I want to adore you--one night, many nights--whatever you prefer," the elf continued, and began kissing his way down Frodo's back, to the base of his spine, then up one sensitive cheek, nipping it. Oh! There weren't words to describe what that did to him, Frodo thought as the heat pooled hotter and hotter in his groin, almost painfully so. Legolas moved lower on the buttock, kissing and nipping as he went, and now Frodo moaned in earnest, wiggling his arse, spreading his legs a little. Did Legolas mean to . . . he had tried it once, fumbling, as a young lad with another young lad. The results had been painful and awkward, and after that Frodo had given up, seeking release only by touching himself. He'd tried seeing a few lasses, but that just hadn't worked either, so he'd decided he just wasn't made for passion, and given up. He was going to have to reevaluate himself now. Frodo felt Legolas raising his hips a little, slipping a soft pillow underneath him. "Do you . . . mean to . . . bed me?" Frodo said against the coils of pleasure as Legolas nibbled and licked up the insides of his thighs now, until he was shaking, until he thought he would burst. "Would you like me to? We can do whatever you like," Legolas said . . . and *licked* him, in a most . . . delicate . . . spot. Frodo thought he might faint. He had trouble forming a response. "Ah . . . I'm not sure . . ." He had to think about this--did he want to be intimate with the elf? Granted, this had already slipped well into his definition of 'intimate', but to tell the truth, there had been one he had considered this sort of situation with…and it hadn’t been Legolas. Although suddenly Legolas seemed like a wonderful idea--he certainly seemed to know what he was about, and the knowledge *could* be beneficial if perhaps Frodo ever got a chance to try 'things' with the one he wanted. He looked back at the elf, and felt the elf studying him, still lightly grazing over his flesh with his fingertips, making him shudder. Frodo wasn't entirely certain he could stop now--this had to come to completion in some fashion. "I had wanted to--but he's--" Oh dear, that was coming out all wrong; whatever should he say to explain it all? Legolas seemed to understand. "You desire another. Forgive me for my curiosity, but it would not happen to be a certain ranger, would it?" Frodo blushed deeply but said nothing. He didn't have to--he knew his eyes gave him away. "Ahhh. He will pretend to be disinterested, you have to understand, because he feels his duties quite strongly, and would not want to cross the line from protector to lover. But I have no such problem crossing lines. Would you like me to arrange something with him?" Frodo's mouth fell open. Would he? *Could* he? "But it he does not want me . . ." he murmured, wishing Legolas hadn't stopped touching him, wanting to arch up against him again. "Oh he wants you. Very much. So then you have no interest in me?" Legolas did not sound disappointed--it almost sounded like he was teasing, in fact, and Frodo thought perhaps the way he kept rubbing his bottom against the elf's erection might have something to do with that. "Oh, I don't want you to stop--doing whatever--but I must confess. I'm not a good lover. I don't know what to do." Oh, thankfully the hands were back at work on him, slipping under him as well to touch his member-- Frodo's eyes rolled back as he gasped in delight. "Do you want me to enter you? Show you how to make love? Then you can return the favor to Aragorn." Frodo nodded, urgently--doubtful he'd remember everything the elf was doing, but he'd already given him *tons* of new ideas to add to his fantasies. He'd never known actions before the main could feel so wonderful. "Let's turn you over again--I don't want you straining that shoulder. You can lie quietly, and just watch, just experience." Legolas gathered him up in his arms and gently flipped him over. Then the elf rose, and with a flick of his fingers, removed his tunic, exposing an expanse of olive-skin and dark tan nipples--Frodo reached up hesitantly to stroke one, watching almost fascinated as it puckered and Legolas's expression went slack, the eyes closing to mere slits. "Just like that. Very good." Leaning over him, Legolas then slid down his hosen, until he was naked lying atop, then with a smile, bent his head to kiss Frodo long and deep, moving his tongue against Frodo's teeth, lapping at him. Frodo pressed his hands down the elf's back, marveling at the smooth flesh, smoother perhaps than even his own. Perhaps later they could indulge more in this wonderful kissing but for now he was quite excited, and he dug his fingers into the small of Legolas's back, urging him back to his task. With a parting peck on the cheek, Legolas kneeled between his legs, then took the bottle of oil and poured a little into his hand. Frodo watched, breathless, as the elf moved the hand down between his legs and smoothed the oil around his opening, then firmly pressed inward. "Relax," the elf said in a low voice, using his other hand to slowly stroke Frodo's member, making him sigh with pleasure as the finger slipped in deeper, twisting and coating him. All right--this wasn't so bad yet. But it wasn't the elf's engorged cock, either--long, and slender; hopefully the slender part would make things a little easier. It was, Frodo noted with nervousness, larger than the one he had already tried. And Aragorn's would be even bigger, he knew. He closed his eyes and concentrated on the stroking, willing himself to relax. "That's it--you'll be a fast learner, I believe." Legolas added another finger, and just when Frodo was about to protest that he couldn't possibly accommodate, he gasped as he felt wet slick heat at the head of his cock and opened his eyes to stare in rapture as Legolas began taking him into his mouth, sucking hungrily at him. "Oh my," Frodo sighed, and the second finger slipped in against the clenching--he wasn't sure if it was pain or pleasure now, but he didn’t care. More. Wanted more, just as much as Legolas could give to him. He spread his legs further and tugged at the elf's long silken hair, fighting the urge to thrust down the elf's throat, madly. Had Frodo thought he lacked passion? Obviously not with this lover. Scissoring the two fingers, Legolas finally added the third and Frodo bucked as he brushed something--something *wonderful*, and fire raced up him to escape in a hissing breath out between his teeth. "Legolas . . ." he begged, drawing up his legs, ready. So this was the part he'd missed last time. Small wonder it had hurt. Legolas let Frodo's cock fall from his lips and rose up to gaze into his eyes, measuring him--presumably determining if he really wanted this or not. Frodo nodded, raising up a hand to touch the elf's lips, swollen and red. The elf smiled. "Help me," Legolas said, and poured a little oil into Frodo's hand, then brought his hand down to touch his member, sighing deeply as Frodo slid his hand up and down the silken shaft, marveling at the pleasure he could bring. Once he was coated, Legolas gently moved his hand away and poised over him, watching him. "Ready?" "Yes, please!" Frodo said, then gasped as the elf entered him slowly, stretching him to the brink of pain, then beyond. Frodo closed his eyes, breathing quickly, trying to accommodate things, while Legolas kissed his ears and whispered over and over, "Relax, relax; open up for me." Whether it was something the elf did, a talent of the Eldar, or whether it was he himself Frodo wasn't sure, but suddenly things eased, and the elf sank home. Frodo gulped now in pleasure, his hands on Legolas's back, urging him even deeper if possible. "Oh Frodo--so good!" Legolas cried out, holding still as things clenched inside the hobbit. He felt for a moment he might split in two, though it still felt wonderfully good; he wiggled again, looking for what Legolas had rubbed earlier, sliding his erection against the elf's flat stomach. Legolas groaned, holding his hips still. Things eased again, then with a chuckle, Legolas pulled almost all the way out, then sank in deep again, smiling at him. His cock rubbed right against that lovely place inside. "Ohh," Frodo said, thrusting up, his lips parted, his head arching back. He cried out softly and bucked as Legolas tweaked his nipples again with his fingers. "More--more, please," he begged, and Legolas did so: long, deep, slow strokes, each one a torment, a sweet ecstasy. But Frodo needed more- -harder, faster. "Legolas," he urged, thrusting hard against him, seeking that boundary where pleasure and pain combined. "More!" He cried, knowing he was drawing near that precipice, yearning for it. If he had been wounded, it was forgotten now. "Oh yes, dear one, Erreur!" Legolas cried, switching to Sindarin, increasing the pace and thrusting harder, pounding into him. His hand closed over Frodo's shaft, pumping him quickly. Frodo cried out to the moon, the stars, as his seed burst from him, coating the elf's hand, and it seemed only seconds later that Legolas joined him with one last thrust, shuddering against him, soft musical cries against Frodo's throat as he embraced him. As the tremors passed and the afterglow began to fade, Legolas rested against him, still lying on top, but he was almost without weight somehow--another elven trick, surely. "Your elven medicine is a marvel," Frodo sighed as Legolas slipped out of him and Frodo felt the dampness between them, flowing out of him. He felt like he had been touched by moonlight, happy, floating. "Indeed, we find it so," Legolas said with a smirk. He sounded tired, but well satisfied. "You are succulent, my sweet hobbit." Frodo giggled to be compared to a morsel of food. Then he frowned. "I shall never be able to remember all of that for Aragorn. Will you really-- er--'arrange' things for us? I'll never have the nerve to bring the subject up with him, I am sure." Legolas laughed, brushing back his curls. "We shall lay a trap for Aragorn. You shall have your wish." He kissed Frodo's hair, inhaling, then winked at him. "And do not worry. If you feel unsure, you can always 'practice' these skills before his return. I am sure you will amaze him." Frodo smiled, and there was a little of his boyhood impishness of Brandy Hall in that look. "I think that can be 'arranged'." ***** TBC ***** Part: 3/3 Title: Elven Medicine Author: Diamond (juweldom@yahoo.com ) Rating: NC-17 Pairing: Aragorn/Legolas/Frodo Warnings: interspecies Disclaimer: All characters herein belong to Tolkien (sob!); I make no monetary profit from this but give me feedback and I'm a happy lass.

The words: Succulent, curls, goosedown. *** *Aragorn* It had been a very long journey, much at top speed across the desolate lands that stretched out west of the Misty Mountains, the sons of Elrond and their elfsteeds urging his mount on ahead of them, pausing only for the bare minimum of rest. Aragorn dutifully reported the news from Galadriel and Lothlorien in Elrond's study, after Elrohir and Elladan had spoken of their tidings. Aragorn had barely had time to bathe before he fell asleep in his bed, missing entirely the evening meal. When he awoke, it was to darkness and starlight and the red dying embers of the logs in the fireplace. And the feeling that he was not alone. Battle instincts immediately took over, his years in dark lands making him alert; he reached for the candle stick to use as a weapon, forgetting for a moment where he was. A kiss on the lips and two sets of slender arms encircling him stilled his movements. The kisser he recognized immediately by the taste, the feel, the woodsy scent. "Legolas," he said calmly, though his heart was still racing from having been caught off guard. "Welcome back," Legolas purred, kissing him once more, then drawing away, leaving Aragorn to remember it had been *two* sets of arms he had felt on him. In the darkness another set of lips pressed to his cheek, the softest lips, and curls of hair tickled his ear as hands--*small* hands, trailed over his cheek, then down his chest. As Aragorn recognized the second one in his bed, he felt himself grow warm, filling with need, growing hard and ready instantly. "Hello, Aragorn--I hope you do not mind this little surprise?" Frodo's voice was timid, but there was no mistaking the hardness pressed into Aragorn's side, the slightly breathless need in that voice, so cultured, so innocent. Aragorn closed his eyes that he might better enjoy it. "Frodo?" He barely dared give voice to his hope, lest it all be a dream. His voice sounded harsh, raw. Frodo chuckled nervously. "Yes, it's me. Legolas said you'd be pleased. Are you?" Such delicate tentativeness in that high hobbit tenor, such warmth. Aragorn lifted up a hand to cup a smooth cheek . . . "I am pleased--but very surprised." He was afraid to ask--had Legolas and Frodo . . . Did Frodo *love* Legolas? He could not see Frodo taking a casual lover. "Legolas . . ." Aragorn could not finish the question. His heart clenched painfully. Legolas answered. "Yes, Frodo and I were lovers, for a short time just after you left. But it's you he loves, Aragorn. Consider this my apology--if you had been honest with me of *your* feelings, I would have desisted." Aragorn started to retort, but he couldn't. Even expecting the news, it was a blow. Frodo kissed him gently on the lips. Aragorn thought he would go mad. "Are you upset with me? I never would have come here tonight if Legolas hadn't given me courage to, hadn't shown me . . . I am not skilled. I *never* would have told you how I felt, I never would have imagined this was possible, without Legolas's encouragement." Aragorn realized he was hearing an echo of his own emotions in Frodo's voice. He needed light, he thought suddenly; he needed to see the expression on the hobbit's face. He kissed the hobbit back, feeling slightly guilty--this wasn't appropriate, was it? He could offer nothing to Frodo; nothing but friendship and his protection. "I need to see you. Let me light the candle." He felt around for the lighting kit, but Legolas beat him to it, lighting the candle, flooding the room with soft flickering light. Frodo wore only an elven dressing gown, coming open at the chest-- Aragorn could see one dark nipple peeking out from the dark blue silk. He gulped, shifting his hips against the heat pooling inside. Legolas, dressed in a pale green dressing robe and hosen, was perched at the end of the bed watching the two of them, his eyes dark and smoldering. He was smiling, pleased with himself. Aragorn looked closer at Frodo, at the turbulent emotions swirling in those bright azure eyes. Now in the light, he could not deny the chief emotion evident in Frodo's face. Love. Love for *him*. "You would not have told me?" Aragorn asked, the words sinking in, the ramifications becoming clear. Legolas had thought he was doing both of them a service, but had he? What about when they had to say goodbye? Frodo swallowed. He was almost sitting in Aragorn's lap, his hands still trailing lightly over the Ranger's shoulders, yearning evident in every move he made. "No. I may perish completing my quest. And you are betrothed. And I never thought . . . it would be returned." He blushed and looked down, apparently still somewhat in doubt, somewhat afraid. Aragorn nodded. "I am betrothed. And I love her." He saw Frodo's face fall. "But I love you too." Frodo looked up. Frodo looked up. "Perhaps . . . for a short time?" Oh, he looked *so* in need, so desperate to be touched. Aragorn could not refuse, and damn the consequences later. "Yes . . ." he whispered, and leaned forward to devour Frodo's mouth, pressing his lips in, marveling at how the hobbit opened up for him, willing, insisting. Legolas had been hard at work teaching, Aragorn suspected. He would not begrudge the elf his time, for he, too, would never have dared this. "Shall I leave you two?" Legolas's tone was mild, but Aragorn could hear the need there too. It was not really that the elf and Ranger loved each other, but he knew the elf was lonely, and found comfort in the beds of safe friends. Aragorn raised an arm in his direction, not letting go of Frodo. He released Frodo's lips just long enough to say, "Join us. You sly elf." Legolas laughed and came forward, sitting behind Aragorn on the bed with his legs on either side, straddling. He brushed his chest against Aragorn's back, running his fingers through the Ranger's scalp, lightly biting at his neck and shoulders. "You are a most considerate lover." Legolas sighed into one ear. And into the other ear, "I wish the best of luck for you two." The thought left Aragorn for a moment, for in front of him Frodo had straddled his hips, and was beginning to kiss him earnestly, small tongue darting between rose red lips, lapping at Aragorn's mouth. Aragorn groaned, gently placing his hands on Frodo's sides, afraid he might hurt him in his passion. Perhaps Frodo sensed this, or else he too was lost in passion, for he pressed in close, his little hands working at the buttons of Aragorn's night shirt, scraping over the Ranger's chest, his nipples. Aragorn groaned into the kiss, caught from in front and behind, two erections pressing into him, and his shirt being lifted over his head by two pairs of hands. "Frodo, I want to see you," Aragorn rasped, his hands now fumbling at the lacings; behind him Legolas laughed and reached around to help untie the lacings, nuzzling him, sucking on his ear. Aragorn tried to kiss him, reaching back to stroke the elf's thighs as Frodo removed his clothing, then with a gasp, Aragorn returned his gaze to Frodo. "Ohh," Aragorn said in heartfelt appreciation, running a callused hand over smooth alabaster white skin, over a delicate shoulder, down a milky chest, over the lean stomach and smooth thighs. Frodo's member jutted out proudly, and Aragorn longed to touch it as well, impressed, but he resisted, feasting only with his eyes. "Dear Frodo. Do you know how wonderful you are . . ." Frodo smiled bashfully and tilted his head a little. "I find you quite fascinating as well." He bent his head to suck one of Aragorn's nipples, and Aragorn sighed and fell back, into Legolas's arms. He realized Legolas was now naked as well. Indeed the only item of clothing left was Aragorn's hosen. These Frodo began to pull down, murmuring in a shy but fervent voice, "I would like to see you as well." Aragorn raised his hips obligingly panting as Legolas tweaked his nipples with deft fingers, licking a path from his shoulder up his neck to the Ranger's jaw. The two of them together would clearly kill him, Aragorn thought, bemusedly. He lifted legs as Frodo pulled off the hosen, running his hands over the hair on Aragorn's calves, up his thighs to the burning center of his arousal. "Oh, I just knew you'd be tremendous," Frodo sighed, sounding more than a little frightened. "Shh," Legolas said to Frodo, soothingly, and slid around to lie beside Aragorn, his limbs pressed along the length of Aragorn's side, moving his hand down Aragorn's chest to take his engorged member in hand, slowly stroking. Aragorn fell back against the pillows, eyes half closed, awash in sensation at Frodo moving up his legs towards the same destination, evidently to share with Legolas. Aragorn nearly jumped out of his skin at the feel of a hot tongue laving over the head. He raised his head to see which one . . . "Frodo?!" He croaked, not able to believe what he was seeing. He was nearly undone as the hobbit's lips parted to take him in, though poor Frodo could not quite get the whole head into his mouth. Legolas had moved further down, and seeing Aragorn's attention, gave him a devilish smile and began to assist, licking from base to head with his long tongue, coaxing Aragorn's legs open. The elf brought out a small vial of oil--his 'elven medicine', which had probably been in the pocket of his dressing gown. "Our turn to tend to you, Ranger, after your toils. We thought perhaps we should leave your 'tending to Frodo's wound' to next time, when the two of you are alone. Will you allow him to do the honor tonight?" Aragorn's mouth fell open--Frodo . . . on *him*? Frodo smiled shyly, hopeful. Aragorn had to swallow twice against the rising passion. "I would be delighted." "It will be my first time--um--doing the--uh--honor," Frodo confessed, and Aragorn thought he might die of happiness right there. Legolas poured a little oil into Frodo's hand, while Aragorn watched, trembling. Frodo gave himself a quick once over, then put his hand down, tentatively, tracing over the Ranger's sack, the spot behind, down to his entrance--Aragorn groaned low and deep feeling the hobbit's fingers circling the tender flesh there, before the first one pushed in, exploring. It was too much--especially since Legolas had not left off from slowly stroking him. To steady himself lest he embarrass himself and come too soon, Aragorn grabbed at Legolas's thighs, urging him towards his end, maneuvering him around so that they could suck each other as Frodo pushed in another finger, deeper now, surer, in and out in a smooth rhythm, readying him. "Frodo--more, please!" Aragorn gasped between licks to the elf's long shaft, grabbing at the muscular buttocks over his head. Legolas's mouth was around his cock now, slowly taking him deep down in his throat. Frodo made a noise of excitement--a whimper or a moan, and a third finger was added, then a fourth, and Aragorn shuddered and ground his hips back, feeling the fingers brush his pleasure spot. "Now, Frodo; *now*!" he gasped, then engulfed Legolas once more. Legolas moaned and raised his head, moving out of the way for Frodo to position himself, kneeling, the tops of his thighs brushing at Aragorn's buttocks. Aragorn let go of Legolas to look down at Frodo, seeing the burning need in his eyes, the self assurance suddenly in his posture. As Frodo guided himself in, Aragorn bit his cheeks, opening up for him, throbbing, needing. Frodo slid all the way home with ease and Aragorn groaned at the look of pleasure on the hobbit's face, shiny with sweat, the fiery blue eyes boring into his through long dark lashes. "Ohh, Aragorn," Frodo moaned, shifting his hips, moving tentatively. The movement rubbed again in just the right place. "Yes, Frodo. Take me. Hard please; I am yours." Legolas moved Aragorn's thighs far apart, pushing them back to his chest as Frodo pulled out and thrust in harder, deeper, holding onto his legs for umbrage. Then Frodo was building up a rhythm, pumping into him, and Legolas resumed his position, attacking Aragorn with renewed vigor, his tongue swirling around the top and down the sides as he engulfed him. Aragorn gave himself up to the two sensations, sucking greedily at Legolas's cock, letting the elf raise his hips and thrust into Aragorn's mouth, taking him deep. Frodo slammed in particularly hard on one thrust and Aragorn's whole body jumped as pleasure tore through him--he gave a strangled shout around Legolas and Legolas released him just long enough to tell Frodo, "Like that--just like that, Frodo." Frodo did so--hard, brutal thrusts which surprised Aragorn at their strength, but he couldn't think much on that; he was growing perilously near, between Frodo filling him and the incredible feel of the elf's mouth on him, his fingers, stroking his balls as they tightened. Aragorn sucked hard, wetting a finger to slide into Legolas, and with that help, Legolas came first, hot spurts down Aragorn's throat. Moaning around Aragorn's cock, Legolas let Aragorn move him to the side a little so that the Ranger could lift up his head and watch the two of them still at work, panting, trying to hold back--he could see sweat running down Frodo's chest as he continued to thrust into him, the hobbit's face contorted almost in pain--oh, he knew that look, the look of holding back. Frodo slammed into him the same time Legolas went down, scraping just slightly with his teeth, and that was it; with a cry Aragorn came, keeping his eyes open on Frodo's face. He was rewarded as Frodo lost the battle and came as well, the pleasure washing over his face as he stared into Aragorn's eyes. "Love you!" the hobbit gasped, gripping Aragorn's hips hard enough to bruise. Aragorn sighed, fulfilled. Legolas drank all the Ranger's seed, then gently released him and turned around to lie beside him, as Frodo collapsed on top, chest heaving. Aragorn immediately wrapped one arm around the hobbit and the other around the elf. For many long moments the three laid there, breathing, letting themselves cool, letting raging heartbeats return to normal. Finally, Aragorn spoke. "Frodo . . . that was amazing. You are a treasure, my beautiful, rare, dear hobbit. You will hold a piece of my heart forever." Frodo looked at him, smiling, moisture glistening in his eyes. Slipping out, the hobbit climbed up Aragorn to rest his head on his breast, soft cheek on warm skin, small arms encircling Aragorn. Aragorn kissed his hair, then guided Frodo up a moment to kiss him long and deep, before settling the hobbit back against him, sighing at the way it made him feel to have this precious one love him. Aragorn's other hand stroked Legolas's hair. "And thank you, my friend," he told the elf, smiling. Legolas's smile was wide and sated; he also leaned over to kiss Aragorn, a gentle kiss between friends, before settling against him as well, his eyes still open, watching. Aragorn yawned, feeling sleep coming over him. "Well truly that was a welcome back I never expected." Frodo chuckled then yawned as well. "A bit of elven--and hobbit care. Good night, Aragorn. Sleep well." Aragorn smiled. "Good night, Frodo." The Ranger was aware of drifting off, entangled with the two, their warmth shared. But when he awoke in the morning, only Frodo was still in his arms, sleeping peacefully. On the place where Legolas had been there was only the bottle of elven oil, and a little note in Sindarin: "A maer galw, meldir." Good luck, my friends. *** End
