Summary: Melian, queen of Doriath tutors a young Galadriel in the pleasures of the flesh. Melian of Doriath studied the lovely fair face of her student, Galadriel. Galadriel, with her long, rippling flaxen hair, and her strangely old sapphire eyes. Galadriel, so beautiful and strong, so compassionate, and yet so remote. Melian had always been drawn to this beautiful child of the Eldar. She was such a contrast of innocence and wisdom, vulnerability and strength. It was an intriguing combination, which fascinated Melian and held her powerless before this young Elf-Maid. An aura of power emanated from Galadriel, and Melian could foresee that she would grow and develop even more, one day becoming a formidable enemy against the Great Evil, brought into Arda by Melkor and Sauron. Melian herself was exquisitely beautiful, one of the mysterious and powerful Maiar. She had long straight hair the color of a moonless midnight sky. Her eyes were like a storm-tossed sea, grey and fathomless. Her skin, like Galadriel's was the creamy and soft, like old ivory velvet. Melian was the wisest being in Middle-Earth, and by her power and counsel was Doriath kept safe. Her husband, Thingol, had long kept his realm secret by virtue of his beautiful wife's power. Melian had of late noticed a grim mood descend on her husband. He had distanced himself from her, ever seeking the lost Silmarils in his mind; heedless of the destruction his lust for them would bring to their realm. Melian sighed softly, wondering if the wall that had sprang up between them was partly of her own making. She was obsessed with Galadriel, her thoughts constantly straying to the lovely Elf-Maid. And now Galadriel had on the eve of her marriage to Celeborn, come seeking her mentor’s counsel. The golden-haired beauty sat silently next to Melian in the queen’s private moonlit garden. The night was warm and perfumed with the scent of roses, and the sweet song of nightingales filled their ears with hauntingly beautiful melodies. Melian felt vibrantly alive, her senses sharpened by her desire for Galadriel. “I find myself questioning this choice, I feel inhibited and uncertain. This is not a familiar feeling to me, my lady. What counsel can you give me?” Galadriel asked, as she twisted and wrung the silk of her ice blue gown. “Galadriel, only you can decide if this marriage is right for you. After all that I have taught you, you should know this,” Melian rebuked her gently. “It is not that I doubt my love for Celeborn. He is a lord both wise and strong. Yet my heart is filled with fear. I am afraid of what will happen tomorrow, on my wedding night. This emotion of passion is frightening and strange to me. I have seen what it can do to others, the hold it gives one person over another. I, Galadriel, will let no one own me! Oh Melian, I feel so lost!” Galadriel turned away and began to weep. Crystalline tears welled up in her azure eyes, and spilled down her cheeks. Melian reached out to comfort her young student, pulling Galadriel into her loving arms and stroking the golden hair that cascaded over her shoulder. She murmured words of comfort into Galadriel’s pointed ear, and at last the storm subsided. Blue eyes still awash with tears gazed into grey ones, and Melian felt faint with excitement. She was mesmerized, and reached out to tenderly trace the exquisite curve of Galadriel’s cheek. “Melian?” Galadriel whispered in confusion. “Oh Galadriel, your sorrow touches my heart. I cannot stand the sight of one so courageous and wise in grief. Let me comfort you, young one! Surely you have seen that I care for you deeply. Will you not open yourself to me? Will you let me prove to you that to be loved is not to be possessed against one's will?” Melian asked breathlessly, terrified yet strangely elated that at last she had confessed her feelings for this maiden. Galadriel’s face was a study in uncertainty, as she looked at her mentor with wide blue eyes. She hesitated a moment, considering Melian’s words. She was intrigued by the prospect of finding answers to her questions. "Yes!" Galadriel hissed the word, as she reached out and touched the face of her lovely mentor, In response to her unspoken plea, Melian bent her dark head and brushed a kiss lightly against Galadriel's prettily sculpted lips. Galadriel sucked in her breath, but despite her apprehension, she returned the kiss. Melian deftly parted her lips with her tongue, and thrust the facile organ into the Nissi's mouth. Galadriel moaned in response, unable to believe how quickly her body responded to the deep kiss of her mentor. She shyly began returning the kiss, and in a bold move that surprised even herself, she touched her tongue to Melian's. A sharp stab of hot desire rippled through the Elf- Maid's slender frame. It seemed to originate between her firm thighs, and caused her generous breasts to swell and tighten. She was surprised at herself, and knew that she should be appalled by her behavior, yet Galadriel was helpless against the rising tide of lust that swept through her. She gloried in the throbbing sensations pulsing through her body, and rode the crest of the wave exultantly. Melian reveled in the way that her advances had been so eagerly accepted. She had yearned for this moment for a very long time, and the reality far surpassed her fantasies. She sank to her knees in the soft emerald grass of her garden, drawing Galadriel down beside her. She was desperate to continue her exploration of the Elf-Maid, and without breaking the kiss; she undid the fastenings on Galadriel’s loose gown with shaking fingers. She then slid the gown down the maiden’s shoulders, baring her lover to the waist. Galadriel had large, creamy breasts, each topped with a pale pink nipple. Melian sat back and feasted her silvery eyes on the sight before her. Her scrutiny made the nipples tighten, and Galadriel shuddered with a poignant mixture of excitement and embarrassment. Unable to resist, Melian reached out with delicate fingertips and traced a circle of exquisite sensation around each of the milky globes. She did not touch the nipples until Galadriel began to sigh with longing, and then Melian dipped her raven head and reached out with her tongue to lave each of the sensitive buds. When she met no resistance, the Maiar began to love the nubbins in earnest, licking and suckling on them until Galadriel cried out with need. “Please...I need you now,” the Noldor maiden pleaded. Melian ceased her sweet torture, and swiftly removed the rest of Galadriel’s garments. Her breath caught in her throat as she saw the Elf- Maid revealed in all of her naked splendor. The moonlight played on the shadowy hollows of Galadriel's slender waist and curvaceous hips. The maiden's legs were slim and long, and between them lay a triangle of golden curls. A faint flush stained Galadriel's fair face, as Melian studied her. Seeming to sense her discomfort, Melian smiled reassuringly, and gazing into her lover’s azure eyes as she regally unclasped her own ruby silk gown, and cast it carelessly aside. Galadriel looked up at her with appreciative eyes, drinking in the sight of Melian’s creamy skin and naked form. The queen stood before her proud and unafraid, giving her lover the opportunity to explore her with her eyes. The Maiar had a magnificent figure, each feature perfectly proportioned. She stood nearly as tall as Galadriel, and her deep chest was adorned with high, firm cone-shaped breasts, each pale orb graced with a bright cherry of a nipple. Her waist was unbelievably tiny, yet flowed into generous hips and then down into long legs. Melian had no hair between her legs, Galadriel noted with surprise. The Maiar was the very personification of what it meant to be female, and her young protégé felt her excitement peak once again. "Melian...please..." she whispered, longing for something that she could not name. Melian laughed throatily, and then kissed the young Noldor maiden again. She was pleased that this time Galadriel responded eagerly and parted her lips to accept Melian's thrusting tongue. The queen then knelt and drew Galadriel down with her. She reached down to again play and tease Galadriel's breasts. To her delight, the favor was returned, as the golden-haired beauty reached up and shyly caressed Melian's heavy mounds. Galadriel lightly pinched the large burgundy nipples, drawing a moan from the Maiar. The two continued to explore each other's bodies, drawing on one another's nipples and caressing and fondling each other's buttocks. Their excitement grew to a fever pitch, until finally, with a graceful movement, Melian pushed Galadriel back onto the velvety carpet of grass. She pinioned the Noldor's slender wrists and gazed down at her with stormy eyes wide with passion. The Elf-Maid's breath came in ragged gasps, her breasts were heaving, and a fine sheen of perspiration covered her graceful form. Her eyes shone with sapphire fire, and the tips of her elegantly pointed ears were flushed. Melian delighted in the effect she was having on her student. She had dreamed of this moment for so long, and was hardly able to believe that her fantasy was coming true. "Are you certain you want this, Galadriel?" Melian asked hoarsely. "This is the threshold, and once it is crossed, there is no going back." "I am certain, Melian. I want answers to my questions," Galadriel affirmed. With a groan, Melian released her wrists, and gracefully slid down until she was straddling her protégé. She brushed feathery kisses down the length of the maiden's body, until she reached the golden triangle between Galadriel's legs. She blew on the golden curls teasingly, and then positioned one of Galadriel's long legs over each of her shoulders. Then, with unerring instinct, she homed in on the very center of the Elf-Maid's warmth, flicking her tongue against the hard little bud that she found there. Galadriel moaned and her legs fell open even more. She arched against Melian's facile tongue, which seemed to have gained a life of its own. It flickered against her tiny organ maddeningly, arousing feelings that threatened to overwhelm her. Melian spent long moments between those perfect white legs, drinking in Galadriel’s copious honeyed juices. She alternated between darting stabs of her tongue and long, tantalizing licks, until Galadriel was begging for release. “Ah, Galadriel, you are so exquisite, so magnificent in your passion. Be patient, young one, for there are even greater pleasures yet to come,” Melian promised huskily. The Maiar found an ever more urgent rhythm, and continued to tantalize and torment her lover, until the sensual tide swept over Galadriel in waves. She felt the world fold in on itself and then explode all around her, and she cried out with rapture. She flew above the fragrant, moonlit garden and soared through a warm golden light that surrounded and embraced her, and filled her pleasure and contentment. Ever so slowly, Galadriel became aware of her surroundings once more, as she drifted back languidly to find Melian's strong arms holding her tightly. As her vision came back into focus, she smiled into Melian's silver eyes. When the Elf-Maid's breathing and heartbeat slowed to normal, she sat up unsteadily. Melian kissed her sweetly on her dry, open mouth, and held her tenderly until Galadriel had recovered from her first taste of passion. The Maiar's raven tresses cascaded over her shoulders in a tumbled mass, and Galadriel brushed the hair back gently. "Thank you, Melian. You will forever have a piece of my heart for giving me this most precious gift. You have soothed my fears and taught me what bliss can exist between two lovers. I understand now that to be held in passion's thrall is not something to be feared, but rather to be cherished! I will never forget this night, my queen. Now, I think, it is time for me to return the favor," Galadriel said softly, as she touched Melian's lips with her long, elegant fingers. Suddenly, the teacher had become the student. Mesmerized, Melian parted her lips and took the slender digit into her eager mouth. She allowed Galadriel to guide her back onto the soft carpet of grass, which was still warm from the Elf-Maid's body. Galadriel followed Melian down, and kissed her way down the Maiar's creamy and fair body, lingering at the dark rogue of her nipples to nip and suckle there. Melian sighed with pleasure, as Galadriel parted her trembling milky thighs. Tossing her gleaming hair back, Galadriel knelt and hesitantly touched the tip of her tongue to the glistening pearl that lay hidden amongst the satiny folds of Melian's sex. Melian parted her legs wider, and grasped the back of the Elf-Maid's head. She arched up even as the pulled the Noldor's face closer to her, and Galadriel responded by gently thrusting two slender fingers inside the Maiar. Melian screamed with passion when Galadriel again bent and sucked her little jewel into her mouth. The Elf-Maid quickly found a rhythm, and continued to tease and play with Melian's jewel even as she thrust her fingers in and out of her tight sheath. At last, Melian's pleasure crested and she clutched handfuls of Galadriel's golden hair, grinding her sex into the Elf-Maid's face, crying out again and again with delight. At last, Melian released her, and Galadriel rolled over wearily onto her back. She was exhausted from their exertions, and had much to consider before her wedding tomorrow. Melian lie beside her and took her hand, and the two lovers basked in the afterglow of their lovemaking, silent, yet content. It took several moments for them to recover, but after awhile, they rose and embraced. They dressed hurriedly, for the evening air had grown chill. Melian cupped Galadriel's face between her hands, and kissed her one last time. "I hope that your fears have been put to rest, Galadriel," Melian said, searching the Noldor's eyes for evidence of regret. There was nothing but wonder in the sapphire depths, however. "You have indeed, my lady queen. I will always be grateful for the lessons you have taught me this night," Galadriel reassured her. "Should you desire me again, my lovely Galadriel, you have only to ask. But now, the hour grows late and you are exhausted. Go now, and seek your bed. I will see you tomorrow," Melian said. "Good night, my lady. And thank you again for your counsel," Galadriel said as she walked out of the moonlit gardens back to the palace. She had learned a great deal this evening, not only of passion, but of Melian and of herself as well. All this she would consider and consider, but for now, her mind and heart were clear and free of doubt. She was ready for her marriage now, and anxious to practice her newfound arts on Celeborn. Perhaps someday, Melian would even join them in their bed sport. With that tantalizing thought in mind, Galadriel reached her chambers and collapsed on her bed. She drifted off to sleep at last, ready to seize her destiny at long last.
