Legolas discovers the desires of the Marchwardens and unravels the obsession Haldir holds for him. * Part 1 “The Loss of Mithrandir is a grave and palpable one.” Haldir sighed softly, watching the shimmering light of the reflecting pool as he leaned against one of the great expansive Mallorn trees. “The pain is so near I can not put words to it. Fell, to a Balrog…demon of the ancient world. How is this come to pass?” Legolas rose from his seat beneath the mallorn trees, his chalice gripped gently in his hand. The tunic of the Galadhrim moved with him, the rustling fabric reminded him of a length of tide coursing the land. The news the Fellowship had brought to Lorien was double edged with pain. The Ring bore an evil the likes Legolas had never before felt and each companion sought refuge in the Golden Wood for fear of the chase, the yearning for peace and comfort, even for one night. And then to lose Gandalf, Wizard of Illuvatar, to a force of evil so ancient, even the Elves feared its name. “It is, as I have told you, Haldir of Lorien.” The Prince of Mirkwood lowered his eyes, strength failing him. “Gandalf bayed us go forth, for fear it would overtake Frodo and end the Fellowship. Never before, in my long years, have I felt a fear of its liking. Would that I could have done something more than run.” Haldir turned, looking to the Elven Prince from over his shoulder. “What more was there to do, Legolas? You are stout of heart, fearless of hand. This was more than you could have faced, all of you together. You are not Glorfindel.” The Marchwarden of Lorien rose to full height. Legolas had satisfied his questions. “I trust the Talan will be sufficient for the Eight remaining companions.” “I do not believe I will find sleep for sometime, Haldir. But I offer my thanks for your protection of the Fellowship and my enduring love to the Lord and Lady of Light.” Legolas sighed. “Then you are welcome to seek my brothers and I, if you are unable to find peace. We walk the borders night and day to ensure the Darkness of Mordor remains far from our lands.” Haldir turned, placing a hand on Legolas shoulder. “Peace be with you, Prince of Mirkwood.” Legolas placed his hand on Haldirs shoulder, in mutual respect. “And with you, Marchwarden of Lorien.” Haldir looked to the Prince, clad in the dress of the Galadhrim. “You will find us deep in the woods at the darkest point of the night. Join us then, if it is your will.” With that, Haldir turned and walked away, his cloak stirring the fallen leaves on the soft Lorien ground. Legolas lingered, watching the still waters of the reflecting pool, singing a soft hymn for Mithrandir in his own tongue. * Aragorn polished his sword as the hobbits lay in gentle slumber. Gimli was the only disturbance in the dark night, his snoring was as loud as a hive of bees and equally as irritating. Boromir walked just outside of the Talan, his steps strong and firm, though his eyes seemed a maelstrom of anguish and pain. “You can not find your rest, Legolas?” Aragorn asked in a whisper. “Why not seek out Haldir and the others, you need not keep grief silent for the sake of your friends.” Legolas looked to Aragorn, his eyes glittering in the darkness. “I would not leave the fellowship.” The Prince commented, dryly. “These borders are well guarded, as you know. You have been our constant companion, I will not begrudge your desire to speak with your Kith. I would leave with you but I fear there is much Boromir will wish to say when you have departed.” Aragorn set his sword down. “Go forth, all will be well here. The others replenish for the darker days still ahead of us.” Legolas rose, quietly. “I will return to you shortly with any news the Marchwardens may have.” Aragorn bowed his head softly as Legolas left the Talan, walking in the depth of night to the center of the Golden Wood. The stars grew heavy overhead as the Prince of Mirkwood strode through the trees…trees he had wished he knew more intimately. For all his trips to Lorien at the behest of his Atar, Legolas never tarried so deep in the woods…unless in the accompaniment of one of the beautiful she-elves of the Wood. In the distance, Legolas could see a small campfire, a watch point for one of the flets above the line of trees, no doubt. His approach, silent as it was, heralded a rustling from behind the trees along the perimeter. Someone who wished not to be found…had been discovered, or so it seemed. Legolas turned his eyes upward and saw no movement upon the flets. Perhaps the Marchwardens were busy in conquests of another kind. Smiling to himself, Legolas sank out of the line of the firelight, bracing his back to the Mallorns and moving with extra caution. Two elves were locked in embrace, heated with desire, barely alert to anything save the touch of their respective lovers. “Nothing like a bit of merrymaking upon the damp forest floor.” Legolas smiled once more, to himself. The closer he drew, the more intense he could hear the murmurs of delight. He realized he should make himself known, but far too often when he had been enjoying the delights of Lorien, had one of the three brothers found him…and disturbed the peace…and the sanctity of the moment. Hidden in the darkness, Legolas could make out a face… Orophin, one of the three brothers, was laying upon his back in the dirt, as his lover devoured his manhood, taking the shaft hard into a welcoming throat. Orophin was biting his lip to fight the desire to cry out, his fingertips dug into the dirt…his free hand on the golden crown of his lover. Legolas turned his eyes away, laughing to himself. He would not be so cruel as to destroy the moment for Orophin and his partner. The Prince turned to walk away when he heard Rumil stumbling through the woods, closer to the fire. The middle sibling of the three brothers, threw his lover down to the ground, covering his partner with his body. “Who knew the brothers did everything together?” Legolas whispered to himself. It seemed no matter to Rumil that Orophin was close enough to hear and see his own brother in the art of lovemaking. But perhaps, neither really recognized anything more than their own pleasure. Legolas shook his head, deciding to walk away and leave them without word, even though an invitation had been extended to him to visit with the brothers. He had walked but twelve paces into the depth of the forest, when the moonlight shone upon Haldir…and he had with him, two lovers! The Marchwarden was gloriously naked as he took his lover from behind, quite animalistically. The elf was bent over, hands grasping ankles…and another knelt behind Haldir, moving fingers in and out of Haldirs entrance with exceptional precision. Haldir cried out, ramming his lovers hips back into his own Legolas felt a sudden sense of arousal, for he desired nothing more than a lover while in Lorien, to take his mind from the dangers ahead of him…and the anguish of Gandalfs death. He was captivated, his own desire awakening with the sight before his eyes. Leaning back against the tree and mustering all his stealth, the Prince of Mirkwood began to rub his length, bound within his breeches. His eyes focused on the one receiving Haldirs pleasure, deaf to any sound but the whimpers and stifled moans the lover elicited….his imagination supplied the rest…biting his lip as his hand moved faster against his pleading arrow. Haldir threw his head back, licking his lips and scenting the air...with a smile. His lover received a suddenly more brutal fury of thrusts…all the while whimpering with delight. ~ It is too much, I can smell the arousal in the air, they are close… ~ Legolas hissed to himself, sliding his hand down into the confines of his breeches, his face flushing…his breaths becoming erratic. ~ So Close ~ His body was shaking, tensing with the friction of his hand wound so tight and pleasingly around his desire. Just then, Haldir let loose a cry of indescribably passion, releasing into his lover…even as Legolas released into his fingers, gasping for breath. Haldirs lover fell to the ground and at such an exquisite moment, and began to stroke himself with such passion that he let loose a torrent of nectar so long, Haldir was bathed in its essence. Legolas realized the Marchwardens lover…was another male! The one who had worked hard against Haldirs entrance fell to his knees, crawling between Haldirs legs to the Elf upon the floor, licking him clean of any remnants of passion…before crawling to Haldir and lapping at the seed along his taut chest. Both of Haldirs lovers were males! Gasping, Legolas crushed back against the tree, glancing in the direction of Rumil and Orophin. In the light of the fire, Legolas could see, they too had Male lovers! It was more than he could bear to see! How could he have not known of the three brothers and their tastes, after so many years? How was it he could pleasure himself to such a sight? ~ you believed them to be women, or you never would have stayed. ~ he told himself and slowly slid into the shadow, finding a way out of the situation he had inadvertently stumbled upon. * Legolas washed his hands clean in the fountain before the Talan of the Fellowship. Boromir had long fell into dreams and only Aragorn was left awake. “Have you found anything of interest from the Marchwardens? You were not gone as long as I believed you would be?” Legolas sat down upon his bedroll, looking to the Ranger. “There is nothing new to be learned, this night.” He said, though his face was blanched white. “There seems to be more than you are saying.” Aragorn lowered himself to his bedroll, drawing the covers up against his body. “What happened?” Legolas stumbled to find a way to explain the situation without divulging secrets that should be kept…secret. “When I found the Marchwardens, they were engaged in pursuits entirely different than those of protection.” He said softly, lowering onto his back. “Ahh, what lucky elves.” Aragorn laughed, seeing his friend obviously distraught. “You are no stranger to the she-elves of Lorien, Legolas, why do you seem so out of place?” “I…I did not wish to intrude and returned to the Talan. We will discover more, tomorrow, I am sure.” Legolas stared up at the barely visible stars through the tree tops. ~ I can not believe what I have seen this night. Haldir, Rumil, Orophin…with male lovers. I never believed them the type. Even if our society does not look unkindly on such things…I..I never knew. ~ He said to himself, feeling guilty for taking pleasure at the acts they were performing. Although no stranger to the flesh, Legolas had never desired a male lover…and he had achieved his self inflicted climax to such uninhibited pleasure… * “Breakfast is served, should you wish to join us.” Rumil smiled as the Hobbits slowly rose, hearing his voice. “Breakfast? I need no second invitation!” Pippin raced upward, followed by Merry. Sam and Frodo stretched as if their rest had been but a vision of an overly exhausted mind. Legolas, snapping out of Reverie, could not meet Rumils eyes, even as Boromir, Aragorn and Gimli rose. “Breakfast is well met, for we are hungry as we are tired.” Boromir smiled. “Will you be joining us, Legolas.” Rumil asked, offering a hand to the Prince. Legolas did not accept his hand, instead, rising onto his haunches, fixing his bedroll. “I will be along, shortly, Lord Rumil. Thank you.” He could not meet the gaze, for now his perceptions were…different than what he believed of the three brothers he had known for so many immortal years. “As you wish.” Rumil smiled to Legolas…as if he knew..something…and Legolas could sense it. “I will bring you fresh clothing for the day.” With that, Rumil left, escorting the others to breakfast. Legolas had no desire to eat. His thoughts were unsettling. A part of him believed he already knew the lovers had encountered were males…and yet he did not turn away from it…found it…exciting. ~ No, it can not be. I had no thought of it, merely the pleasure and arousal in the air. ~ It was long into the afternoon when the Fellowship returned, stomachs sated, the heir of heaviness, lifted. “What amazing food, Mr. Legolas. You should have joined us, you were missed sorely by the Lord and Lady…and the Marchwardens as well. But fear not, I saved some for you.” Samwise smiled, handing Legolas a handkerchief filled with treats. “Thank you, Master Gamgee.” He smiled. He was hungry but he did not wish to let anyone on to his failure to show at breakfast…and apparently, lunch. Legolas took small bites, even if he wanted to devour the sweets in the kerchief. “Celeborn and Galadriel wished to see you. They regret that you were unable to join us.” Aragorn removed the sword from his scabbard, signaling to the hobbits…who had also produced blades, that he was ready to continue instructing them in the way of warfare. Boromir joined in, taking Merry and Pippin under his wing, teaching them steps and blocks using the flat of the sword. Legolas was silent for long moments. “I will make amends for my absence.” Was all he said. * Hours seemed to dwindle as Legolas stretched his legs, taking a long walk away from the dinner he shared with the Fellowship, to deal with the issues which had presented apology to the Lord and Lady for failing to join them during the course of the day. He had cleverly avoided the Marchwardens, who had not come to dinner. Legolas needed air. He excused himself with the lovely lass, Elquath, that he had met during the small feast. As night was long fallen about the forest and once more, the Prince found himself walking through the thick woods…his eyes drawn to the fire pit he had seen last night…his evening lover in tow. The Prince kissed her hard, sending her to her knees. “What am I doing here?” He asked himself, pressed against the mallorn trees. He listened through the life of the Forest for sounds of an Elven Nature. Elquath, the beautiful lass of Lorien slid down his body, removing his length to give tender suckor. Legolas rolled his head back, pumping his length into her mouth…but he wanted more…he needed more. Sliding down onto the ground with her, he lifted her skirts and slid his lithe fingers into her welcoming flower. She groaned with desire, arching her hips and pleading for him to take her. It was then, in the distance, Legolas saw what he had come here to see. Haldir was laying a short distance from the fire, his body naked and glimmering in the orange hues. He looked….beautiful, like a feral god of the younger cultures….his long blonde mane, unbound…as an Elf tasted his delights…it was Rumil! Orophin was behind Rumil, sliding his aching shaft deep into his brothers’ entrance. “They do everything together!” Legolas was appalled but fascinated. Haldir had his head thrown back, his body lurched forward on his elbows, moaning hard as Rumil pleasured his length. “What?” Elquath cried out, hearing Legolas mutter. Orophin pumped himself hard into his brothers tight entrance. Legolas could see the curve of Rumils ass quivering in the firelight, pushing back in counter rhythm to Orophins lust, his mouth occupied with Haldir…his hand stroking his own shaft with tremendous speed. The scent of lust filled the air, nearly unbearable…and Legolas could feel the heat…and the desire. Each were so beautiful, locked in a train of pure ecstasy…caring little for any who would stumble upon the path. Legolas was harder than he could imagine…his desire apparent as he watched the three of them, pleasuring one another, his fingers bound into his lover. He rose onto his knees, turning Elquath onto her stomach…his eyes never leaving the three. His hand slid down along his breeches, moving the fabric down to his thighs, pressuring the exquisite shaft…and before he realized what he was doing, he slid his shaft deep into his lovers forbidden entrance. His breath was coming hard…he wanted them…he wanted to be in the center of them, to feel Haldir deep in his tight pucker. Elquath cried out, grasping the earth as Legolas took her mercilessly, without the benefit of lubrication. Haldir dug into the ground with his nails. “I am so close, Rumil…that exquisite mouth of yours is undoing me…Ai!” He cried out, as if taunting Legolas with such passion. “Harder!” Rumil screamed to Orophin, groaning as he licked the tip of Haldirs crown. Orophin obeyed, digging his fingers into Rumils blonde mane. Legolas obeyed as if Rumil had been speaking only to him. The Prince was undaunted, taking the girl hard enough to crush her…all the while her desire was spilled in muffled cries. Legolas drew the girls hips back into his own, his eyes never leaving the three… “Ai!” Rumil cried out…Orophin was taking him like a beast all the while Rumil stroked himself…and devoured Haldir. Haldir was writhing on the ground like a golden warrior, his eyes rolled back in pure bliss. “Legolas…more!” Elquath cried out, bucking back into him. Legolas quickened his stride…panting for breath as he watched the Marchwardens. Orophin exploded deep into Rumil, crying out as he lowed himself to the ground. Haldir slid out of Rumils mouth, grabbing Orophin by the hind and sliding his saliva slickened shaft deep into him. Orophin took Rumils length into his throat. Haldir took Orophin mercilessly…as Rumil came in Orophins mouth. “Ai, Haldir! You rip me apart!” “Take all of me…beautiful Prince. Choke on my length, deep in your bowels.” Haldir cried out with a dark smile as he turned his eyes to the direction of the woods….exploding into Orophin, his body shivering in the firelight. “Haldir!” Legolas groaned, releasing so hard he thought he had touched the Valar. Shaking, he watched as the Marchwardens slowly seperated, arrows glistening with lust..dripping with desire onto the forest floor. Standing, he drew his breeches back up around his thighs…and leaving Elquath, he stumbled through the woods…afraid of the desire that had come over him. * Legolas bathed in the waters of Lorien, shivering from the strength of his desire. He had been thinking only of the Marchwardens, wanting to be any of the two who received Haldir in such a way. “I infected with a sickness…I must cleanse of it.” Legolas hissed. In the frigid water, he saw Haldirs face…his thick shaft diving hard into his brother. “No, I must not yield to this disease.” Aragorn came upon Legolas she bathed in the dark water. “Are you well?” He was concerned, instantly, laying a folded set of clothing on the banks of the water. Legolas covered his body with the water. “I am well, Aragorn. Fear nothing for me, simply cleansing after a night with Elquath.” Aragorn leaned down at the base of the water, laughing. “Yes, I saw you leave with her. I trust she has kept your..spirits…aloft?” Legolas tried to force a smile. “As if there is a doubt? Excuse me a moment longer and I will return to the Talan.” Aragorn rose, respecting his friends desire to cleanse, “Haldir left you clothing, something a bit more formal, it seems. You left before you could accept or decline the invite.” Legolas looked to Aragorn. “Invite?” his blood went cold. “Yes, when the moon is full in the sky…”Aragorn looked up to judge the orbs place in the heavens. “I would say within the hour, the Lord and Lady of Lorien have asked we gather and share drinks with them, to toast the fellowship?” Legolas knew he had to attend. Aragorn returned to the Talan as the Prince rose from the water and slipped on the clothing left for him on the banks of the water. Returning to the Talan, the Fellowship was aglow with the idea of having a toast with the Lord and Lady. Legolas combed through his hair, rebraiding it and adjusted his Tunic. The Prince was clothed in the traditional High Court dress of Lorien, the fabric a pale summer sky blue.. giving a strange and yet beautiful light to his eyes. “Do you think they will have beer there, Laddie?” Gimli asked, following the group toward the Main Hall, high in the trees. The dwarf was dressed in what he had brought with him, as were the hobbits and Boromir. The Lady had been sure to supply Aragorn, her future son in law with appropriate clothing to befit the stature she saw within his future. “I believe so, Gimli.” Aragorn laughed, clasping a hand against Legolas back. “You have not been yourself since you have come to Lorien, Legolas. Are you well?” Legolas feigned a sigh. “I am still sick with the loss of Gandalf. You must forgive me, for I grieve in my own way and the way of my people.” Aragorn nodded his understanding, leading the Fellowship into the Pale lit hall of Lorien. “I have never seen its like.” Sam was in awe, his mouth agape at his surroundings. “Nor I.” Frodo answered Sams amazement. Even the Ringbearer felt at peace in this place. “It is not the Hall of Kings in Gondor, but equally impressive.” Boromir smiled, clasping his hand against Gimlis shoulder. Legolas entered behind the fellowship, trying to hide the shame for his desires. “Welcome, Fellowship of the Ring. It our honour to celebrate you, on this night in Lorien, with a toast and a fond wish.” Galadriel smiled as elves brought the room, drinks. “May your hearts be light, this night of peace. For you will replenish yourselves and be prepared for all that shall meet you upon the path, when soon you depart here.” Celeborn added, hoisting his drink up high. “To the Fellowship.” Aragorn raised his glass, as did all others in the room. Each taking a draught of the fine elvish spirits, a stock from Rivendell, as much as Aragorn could tell. Music and laughter accompanied the gathering and the Hobbits began to dance and sing as they had at the Inn of the Green Dragon, so long ago. Legolas stood back, his velvet cloak falling over his shoulder, sipping his drink…and not hesitating to take another as it passed his fancy. Haldir and his brothers were standing close at the far corner of the Hall. Haldir sipped his wine, looking dangerously to Legolas. And slowly, he crossed the distance to stand before the Prince. “You have become scarce, Legolas.” Haldir smiled, taking a drink from the passing Elf. Legolas looked up, turning his eyes from Haldir…instead, he found Orophin and Rumil sipping their wine, whispering to each other. He could not get the memory of what he had seen out of his head. “I have been locked in grief.” Legolas cleared his throat. “I thought you would come to us in the woods.” Haldir sipped, speaking quietly. “I have missed your company…and your counsel.” “Forgive me, Haldir. If you wish my counsel, I am here now.” Legolas finally met Haldirs eyes and felt an instant flush come to his cheeks. “Step outside with me.” Haldir commanded over the rim of his glass. Legolas stood tall, taking a long draught from his drink, replacing the now empty glass with a fresh one, following Haldir out onto the balcony overlooking Lorien. They were alone. “You wished my counsel, Haldir?” Legolas asked, begetting his royal air. Haldirs nearness, the scent of arousal was still in the air around him…from only an hour or so before…when he had spied his brothers, locked with him in pleasure, in the core of the woods. “You have been to the woods, Legolas. Though you will tell me you have not been.” Haldir leaned back against the balcony, studying Legolas, his posture was that of a warrior… and the Prince wanted him, hard and bare upon the balcony. This thought scared him… “I do not know what you speak, Haldir.” Legolas stood tall, cocking his head to the side, arrogantly. But his arrogance, though grand to behold, was nothing in comparison to the Marchwarden of Lorien. “We are warriors, Legolas. Lies do not become us. You have been to the woods, I have seen you there twice. Tell me of what you saw.” Haldir drew himself a step closer to Legolas, scenting the air for weakness…only to find it. “I found you and your brothers, as you expected. Why did you invite me there to witness such disgusting displays of desire? Not only did you have…male lovers but one another!” Legolas was careful to keep his voice low. “And did you like what you saw, my Prince?” Haldir smiled, darkly, moistening his lips slowly…till it was all Legolas could do to not turn away. Legolas met his eyes but denied his desire. “That is not my taste.” He said, simply. “Then why do I feel your heat as sure as I breath the air?” Haldir hissed, stepping dangerously close to Legolas now. “You pleasured yourself to watching me..twice, Legolas. I could taste your seed on the wind as it passed into the ground…and the girl.” “I know nothing of what you speak!” Legolas raged. Haldir closed his distance to the Prince till not a single breath of air could pass between their bodies. He leaned toward Legolas ear, breathing into it with his words. “Then why are you hard enough for me to feel you?” Legolas could not deny the rise of his..desire. “Stop this, Haldir. Remember your station.” He hissed, feeling weakened. “Did you hear me call out to you tonight, Legolas? Then you know I want you wrapped about my arousal, now, this instant.” Haldir pressed his hips against Legolas. Two swords clashing in the Lorien night. Legolas lowered his eyes. “I said to Stop this, Haldir. I will not warn you again.” The marchwarden laughed, pressing his fingers below Legolas chin…forcing him to look into his eyes. “And if I do not?” “I will finish this discussion with a flurry of arrows. You invade my privacy and the respect of my station. Back yourself down.” Legolas growled. His desire was seething… Haldir lingered, his breath hot on Legolas lips. “As you wish. If it is your wish.” He was close enough to kiss the Prince, for he felt the tension hot in the air. “It is.” Legolas hissed. Haldir backed away, slowly, with a smile across his lips. “You will see it differently by the end of the night, trust in this. I will be watching you.” With that, Haldir stepped inside, his cloak sparking up on a fury of wind. Legolas grasped onto the railing with one hand, breathing in hard…and taking a long draught of his forgotten drink. * The gathering was in full swing as Legolas returned to the Fellowship. Each was pleasantly sweet on Elvish wine and even Aragorn joined the group in a round of dance upon the floor. He swung Galadriel with a smile upon his face, enjoying the moment where he was not Ranger or King, but Man. Legolas sat back, drinking harder than before, until his senses were…tingled. The Marchwardens were no where to be found, no place near to taunt him and expose his weakness. He excused himself from Gimli and Boromir and sought the bathroom. Opening the door, what he found sent him into a shock. Rumil and Orophin…were engaged in the acts of pleasure… Rumil had his mouth full…pausing to glance up to the Prince. “Excuse me…” Legolas stumbled, his back hitting the wall. He failed to see Haldir, pleasuring himself to the site of his brothers, in the far corner of the bathroom. “Make no apology…” Orophin hissed, shoving his shaft deep into Rumils mouth. “You are free to join us…Ahhh Rumil, yes…there…, if you will, Legolas!” The offer was…unbelievably tempting…to see Rumil with a cock buried deep in his throat, as Orophin writhed, his back against the wall of the bathroom. Legolas drew himself to stand behind Rumil…running his fingers through the Marchwardens hair…meeting Orophins in the process. His desire pressing against Rumils back. “So sweet is the sound you play upon his flute!” Legolas hissed, his arousal threatening to burst the stitches of his leggings. He was drunk, he did not care what either of them thought of him, or his desires, at that moment. “We have waited for this moment, Legolas!” Orophin growled, using his nails to scratch down Legolas hand. The Prince slid his other hand down his breeches, withdrawing his arousal…and stroking it….with incredible desire. Rumil turned, abandoning Orophins shaft to take Legolas into his mouth. Orophin lowered his brothers breeches, sliding his desire deep into Rumils entrance. “Ai!” Rumil hissed against Legolas shaft, taking him hard into his throat. Legolas leaned back against the wall for support, bucking his hips into Rumils mouth. “You feel so good.” He hissed, his eyes rolling back. Haldir gasped for breath, the fire of desire strong in his eyes as he watched his brothers with Legolas. He wanted him…to bend him over and make him scream his name in pleasure…but not yet…not yet. Orophin watched Legolas, pumping harder into his brothers core, feeling as if he might go out of his mind. “You are so beautiful Legolas, how hard I could take you…” He hissed. Rumil moaned against Legolas shaft, his fingers sliding between the Princes’ thighs, cupping his tender sac. Legolas shivered, bucking his hips harder into Rumils awaiting mouth. “Where is Haldir, I want him…I want him to fuck me until I am torn asunder!” Haldir rose, hearing Legolas. “I have been here this entire time, enjoying the site of my brothers…and you, my beautiful Prince.” Legolas rolled his head back, Rumils mouth was demanding and inviting. “I can deny it no longer, Haldir…I want you…I have wanted you for more time than I have known…but I did not…think that you…nor did I think that I…” Legolas moaned as Haldir rose, moving behind Legolas to lock the bathroom door. “Tell me you want me while my brother uses his mouth to fuck you, Legolas. Plead for me to take you the way you have desired.” Haldir hissed, lowering his breeches to his thighs as he came behind Legolas. “Please, Haldir…let me feel you so deep within me.” He hissed, feeling Haldir behind him…his hard shaft pressed into his back…Haldir slowly lowered Legolas’ breeches to his knees. “Ohh Legolas, how I have longed to hear you say that.” Haldir hissed, lifting his fingers to Legolas mouth. The prince suckled them eagerly, his head rolling aback in the passion Rumil gave. “I think Rumil has had enough of you, Legolas, let Orophin have a taste.” Haldir hissed, sinking down to his knees and spreading Legolas firm cheeks. Orophin cried out at the thought, sliding down to his knees as Rumil came behind him…sliding his length hard in. Orophin took Legolas length now, his mouth hot with suction! Haldir slipped his tongue between the Princes’ cheeks, tasting his musky scent of arousal. “Your pleading me to fuck you, I can taste it in that tight pucker of yours!” Haldir cried out, even as Legolas took Orophin by the hair. Rumil pounded hard into his brother, forcing Orophin to choke on Legolas length. “Ahhh, so hot a mouth…never have I felt such suck! I will cum, I swear it…No, Orophin…please…” Legolas hissed, pumping his hips back into Haldir. “Cum for him, Legolas, cum so that I can take this tight entrance and do with it as I will!” Haldir hissed, sliding a finger deep into the Prince. Legolas leaned back into Haldir, his body shaking….his tensions releasing into Orophins hot mouth…but his lips would not relent even after he had spilled his seed. “Ai, I can take no more!” Legolas cried out. Haldir rose from the Princes’ tender ass. “Find your pleasure, brothers. I shall take him now.” The Marchwarden hissed. Orophin cried out as Rumil fucked himself deep into Orophins tight hole. Their cries filled the bathroom as Haldir bent Legolas over. “I can go no more. I am spent.” Legolas hissed, panting for breath. “You can and you will, watch how beautiful my brother Rumil fucks…” Haldir hissed taking Legolas by the hips. He sank himself in one hard, unbelievably swift motion, deep into Legolas’ tight entrance. “Ai, by the Valar, you are tight…and I am the first to fuck you!” Legolas cried out, the pain was excrutiating…even as Haldir hit hard into his core, rubbing a spot that instantly had him aroused once more. “Ai, Haldir…it hurts so good, Ohh I am choking on you from inside…” Rumil and Orophin writhed in the throes of passion, clawing at the ground as they heard Legolas’ cries fill the air. “Tell me how deep you feel me, cry my name, PRINCE.” Haldir hissed. Legolas was so unbelievably tight, he could barely keep his focus. “Ai, deep…so deep I feel you in my bowels…Haldir…Ai, HALDIR!” Legolas cried out, grasping his ankles, bucking his hips back into the Marchwarden. “I swear I will cum if you hit that spot again, please…slowly, please.” Haldir grasped Legolas by the hair, pulling him to a nearly upright position. His free hand controlled the Princes’ hips, as he buried himself deep into Legolas. “Oh you are so tight, I will coat your walls in but minutes!” Legolas groaned, his half slit eyes watching the two brothers fuck on the floor before him. “You feel so good, Haldir! Oh, Valar!” Legolas was going out of his mind, arching hard into Haldirs thrusts to feel him deeper, till he swore he broke in half as the Marchwarden lifted him to a nearly upright position. Haldir rubbed the spot deep in Legolas over and over again, forcing the Prince to whimper and shiver uncontrollably. “You are mine, say it, Legolas, say it or I will stop now and leave you bleeding on the floor!” Haldir slid his hand around Legolas throat, forcing the Princes’ head back, violently. Legolas wanted anything but for Haldir to stop. “Take what you will of me, Haldir! I feel you…Oh, by the valar, I am going out of my mind…I am close, you bring me there again!” Legolas cried. Haldir slowed his pace as the Prince groaned, panting for breath. “Please don’t stop…Haldir!” “I will make you cum again after you swear you are mine and will have no other lover so deep in you. Say it!” Haldir hissed, biting down on Legolas shoulder. Legolas was out of his mind, panting…with tears of need welling in his eyes. “Yours Haldir…god please, don’t stop, yours, no other will take me so deep…please…” Rumil was close to release, plunging deep into Orophin as he cried out, writhing and pleasuring himself to his brothers ministrations. Haldir laughed, darkly, taking Legolas hips and bringing them hard into his, impaling the prince on his sword. Legolas screamed as Haldir hit the spot, hard, rubbing it with the tip of his crown, with each vicious thrust. “Cum, my prince. Cum all over them! Bathe them in your seed and watch how they fight to devour it!” Legolas could hold it back no more. Haldir grasped his aching shaft as he came..directing the spray upon his brothers…who were releasing, together…bound upon the floor. Rumil and Orophin lapped at the hot spray, even as Legolas panted, writhing. The tight entrance convulsed on Haldirs length and he could bare no more. “I mark you with my seed, Legolas. No other. Ever, shall cum within you.” Haldir growled, bending Legolas at the waist as he writhed…sending his seed deep into Legolas core. * The Prince of Mirkwood fell back against Haldir, gasping for breath. Haldir brought him up into his arms. “Tell me how you feel, Legolas.” “I have never been so…so fulfilled…” Legolas whimpered, drunk on such intense desire. “Go forth, my brothers and prepare the back way. I will take him to my quarters.” Haldir ordered and his brothers followed. Legolas readjusted himself, cleansing his face with cool water. All the while, Haldir smiled in arrogant satisfaction…for he had turned the Prince from his royal aires, after one solid night of pleasure. After a moment, the two brothers knocked thrice upon the door to signal the area was clear. “Come, Legolas. The evening will continue in my quarters.” Haldir said. “I have not had my fill of you, yet.” Legolas looked up as Haldir unlocked the door. “I don’t know that I can do this again.” There was guilt in his voice. “I should return to my friends, post haste.” “You can blame it on the wine, my pretty Elf lord. But you will join me or I will come for you before your fellowship. You will not deny me my pleasure and fill of you.” Haldir said, harshly, placing his hand on the Princes’ shoulder. “You have one hour to make your excuses to your friends.” With that, Haldir left Legolas alone and shaking…coursing hard with the pleasure he had felt and the guilt for what he had done in the name of his pleasure. Stepping out of the bathroom after more moments than he could count, Legolas crossed the distance to meet with the Fellowship. “The Hobbits have tasted too much wine.” Aragorn laughed as Boromir hefted Merry and Pippin onto his broad shoulders. “They return to the Talan. I should fetch Gimli, for the Lord and Lady presented him with dwarvish grog they have had for a long while. They warned him of the potency, but Gimli payed it little mind.” Aragorn laughed. Legolas nodded. “You have been gone long, Legolas. Are you sick on the wine as well?” Aragorn asked, patting Boromir on the upper arm as he carried the Hobbits from the scene of their excesses. “Not nearly enough.” Legolas said, turning his eyes to the serving elf as he passed the way through the room, taking a glass and downing it quickly….only to take another. “Slow down, my friend, or I will be carrying you from this gathering. Will you be returning to the Talan with us or have you business elsewhere?” Aragorn sipped his own drink, slowly. “I..will be along shortly. I have promised to spend some time taking..Counsel from the Marchwardens before they return to patrol. I may go with them, I have yet to know what my course of action will be.” Legolas tried to hide his guilt and the sense of desire rising through him as the hour was filtering away. “When you find counsel with Haldir, inform him that I wish to see him, in private before we depart, the day after tomorrow. I wish any news he will have heard from those traveling near the borders of the golden wood.” Aragorn patted Legolas on the shoulder. “The Lord and Lady have taken leave and will meet with us on the morrow for breakfast to discuss what they have foreseen.” “I will be there, either way.” Legolas tried to smile, placing his hand on Aragorns shoulder. “Till then.” Aragorn nodded, turning to collect Sam and Frodo, who had not taken such excesses as their kin. “On your feet, Gimli. We have a distance to walk. Come.” Gimli slurred something in his own tongue, raising upon his feet and following Aragorn and the Hobbits as they departed the scene. Legolas stood for a time longer, drinking his fill of the Elvish wine until once more he could handle the feelings coursing through him. ~ it is only pleasure, there are no ties that bind for pleasure. Yet, I feel disgusted for what I have done...and what I have witnessed the Marchwardens do to their own blood. It is wrong for them to engage one another in such pursuits of pleasure…yet I can not seem to tear myself away. ~ The Prince said to himself, even as his feet found the path to Haldirs quarters. He knew the way, for long ago he spent much time with the Marchwardens while visiting the Golden Wood and learning the ways of his Lorien Kith. * Legolas knocked softly on the door, placing his hands before him as Orophin gave him entrance. “Come in, My Prince.” He smiled, closing the door behind Legolas and softly running his fingers down the arm of Legoals’ tunic. The Prince looked to him, his eyes admonishing so free of a touch upon him. Orophin withdrew his fingers with a dark smile. Haldir was laying back on his bed, sipping a drink as Legolas entered. “You nearly pushed the mark of the hour, Legolas. I was afraid I would have to come for you before your friends. Pour yourself a drink, the glasses are on the dresser to your right. ” Rumil turned to watch Legolas approach, his head resting on Haldirs clothed thigh…though his fingertips teased the Elder Marchwardens length, sensually. Orophin returned to the floor where he had been sitting, running his hands through Rumils hair and across his jaw…where Rumil licked the tip of such delicious fingers. “Why do you do this to each other? It is wrong to take your kin in such displays, you realize this?” Legolas said, standing stone still in the midst of the display. “We are not exclusive to each other, Legolas. It is not as if we are at risk of producing elflings with the same blood.” Haldir smiled, sipping his drink, his eyes lowering slightly as Rumil teased his fingertips along his slowly growing length…his touch was feather soft and tormenting. “But you are brothers, raised together from the same parents.” Legolas insisted, making a drink for himself and downing it quickly. Orophin leaned back, draping his leg over Rumils lap. With his fingers, the youngest Marchwarden produced a long stem pipe. From the pouch at his side, he withdrew a sweet scented herb, one Legolas recognized for its healing properties, often found in tea. He knew it could be smoked, he had tasted it with them before, and it was a natural relaxant. “We are brothers, yes. There is no shame to our desires, Legolas. You mistake what you see. We are not in love nor bound to one another, save by our lineage.” Haldir licked his lips as Rumil brushed his palm across his desire before taking the pipe Orophin offered him. Rumil inhaled deeply and passed the offering to Haldir…before returning to his teasing. Haldir spread his legs wider, leaning back on one arm. “We have tastes we wish to display in trust with each other. Surely you know of Elladan and Elrohir in Rivendell?” Haldir inhaled the natural herb, watching Legolas face. “Or perhaps not?” Legolas was even more shocked. “The twins heirs of Imladris? They do…this?” “Yes, Legolas. Usually they are rather exclusive to each other, though they have been taught much by Glorfindel and of course, Erestor. Surely you knew Lord Elrond takes Erestor and Lindir to his bed?” Haldir smiled, offering the pipe to Legolas. “Come and sit beside me.” Legolas at first did not move, letting everything Haldir said register into his thoughts. After a long moment, he sat down on the bed beside the elder Marchwarden, his elbows on his knees. “I had no idea.” “Well it is not something either Lord would shout out to the world?” Rumil laughed, turning his head toward Legolas as he kissed along Haldirs inner thigh. Orophin half cocked a grin, his fingers slowly undoing Rumils tunic to feel his skin. “And what does Elrond say of his sons? Of himself? And the Evenstar, is she involved in such…indiscretions?” Legolas took the pipe from Haldirs hand, taking a long draught of the smoke and passing it back to Orophin. “He does not know of what sport his sons find in each other, that is for sure.” Orophin laughed. “Yet the Lord of Imladris knows his sons dabble in delights with other elf lords. He cares little, so long as each produce for him an heir to continue the line…and their indiscretions remain…quiet. Why do you think they spend so much time in Lorien? It has little to do with this being the place of their mothers birth, though that is what they will say.” “Elrond has nothing to say for himself, his affairs are kept very silent. The Evenstar is true only to her Estel. She takes no other lover and is unaware of what goes on at the Last Homely House when the stars ride over the sky. Her thoughts and her desire lieonly with the Ranger.” Haldir watched Legolas exhale, the smoke slipping from between his lips. Rumil took his pull, passing once more to Haldir. “Ahh, such sweet relaxation falls over my body.” He moaned, licking up Haldirs straining length, whetting his breeches with his tongue. Haldir moaned softly, his eyes lowering in pure delight. Orophin shifted on the floor, resting his head in Rumils lap, his hand delving between Rumils legs. Legolas took a second pull of the pipe and the embers burned down. Setting it on the floor at his feet, he felt the sweet smoke fill his system, untensing his muscles. “So you three do this, with one another, every night?” He said, leaning back on his elbow, his legs bent over the edge of the bed. “We engage ourselves such, when our time comes to be cautious. We have no desire to spread our tastes through the world of thought, here in Lorien. At times, our lovers are unable to fulfill our desires and can not meet us for the night, we pass the time in pleasure with each other.” Haldir arched his hips slightly to Rumils attention, taking the rest of his drink and tossing the glass to the floor, caring little as it shattered. Reaching his hand out, Haldir traced his finger tips across Legolas’ angular cheek, eliciting a soft pant of breath from the Prince. “Consider this your education to the society of Elves you have known nothing of. Even in Mirkwood, delights of the flesh are taken, though they are the most subtle of our kith.” Legolas moistened his lips, his body flooded with sensuality unlike any he had known before. “The She Elves bore you, always pleading for mercy…scared for their reputations, manipulative. You know this to be truth, Legolas.” Haldir exhaled sharply as Rumil cupped his desire, playfully. Rumil spread his legs beneath Orophins head as his brother tended to his need, teasing the aching shaft with his teeth, softly. “Orophin, you know just how to make me shiver…” Rumil hissed, running his fingers through his brothers hair. “I still enjoy the company of women, I desire them.” Legolas traced his fingertips through Haldirs palm, his eyes shut…his body aching. “As do each of us.” Rumil laughed and then moaned softly. “But they can not always fulfill our darker desires.” “Feel no guilt for what you desire, there is only pleasure to be had. No games of manipulation, only the intrigues of the flesh.” Haldir hissed as Rumil pressed his hot tongue to his groin once more. “Ahh, how long we have watched you in silence…pleasured ourselves to the thought of what you would taste like…feel like beneath us…and above us.” Haldir smiled. “You enjoy this desire, this worship, do you not, my spoiled prince?” “Yes…” Legolas whispered, tracing Haldirs fingers against his lips, letting is tongue taste the tips with soft flicking motions. Rumil rose from his seated position between Haldirs legs as Orophin crawled out from his brothers lap. Rumil placed his body between Haldirs thighs, taking his mouth…his tongue flickering in and out of the dark cavern. Orophin rose as well, coming behind Rumil, running his hands along his brothers arms, pressing his aching need against Rumils back. Haldir and Rumil kissed passionately, all the while Legolas lapped at Haldirs fingertips, watching them, intently. “Do you like watching Rumil kiss Haldir?” Orophin asked, breathing against Rumils ear as his fingers claimed his brothers throat. “Yes..” his whimper was tortured, eyeing how playful Haldirs tongue danced against Rumils. Haldir opened his eyes, locking them to the Prince. Legolas drew back a breath as Haldir slowly lingered in the kiss. He is tormenting me, Legolas realized and groaned softly. He could not bare to watch this any longer. Leaning over, the Prince danced his tongue over Haldirs lip, even as Rumil kissed him. Rumil moaned, feeling Legolas tongue as he danced within Haldirs mouth. The Elder marchwarden took both of them into his mouth, caressing each with his own…slowly drawing away…his eyes lowered in passion as Legolas and Rumil began to taste each other…over his body. “So beautiful to watch.” Haldir hissed, brushing his fingers through Legolas hair. Jealousy was rising in his eyes. Rumil moaned into Legolas mouth, biting at his lower lip. “Like nectar is your mouth, Legolas.” Legolas parted his lips even further…left open as Rumil slid back with the urging of Haldirs hand. “You have tasted him enough, Rumil. Orophin is eager for such wonders your mouth holds.” Rumil licked his lips. “Jealous much, my brother?” he snickered to Haldir as Orophin leaned over his shoulder…sliding his fingers under Rumils jaw. “Not as jealous as I am becoming.” Orophin hissed, running is tongue over Rumils lips. Haldir leaned closer to Legolas. “Now I will taste you, part your lips, Legolas and give me the delicate nectar you gave to my brother.” Haldir took Legolas lips with such softness, the Prince moaned..his tongue sliding across Haldirs…desperate to feel him…but Haldir was tormenting him..making him shiver..not giving to the kiss as fully as Legolas needed. “You do not need me as much as you should.” Haldir whispered into the Princes’ lips. “Do not tease me.” Legolas hissed, grasping Haldir by the chin, trying to draw the Marchwardens mouth to his, harder. Haldir pulled Legolas’ touch away and laughed, cruelly. The Prince opened his eyes, seeing Rumil and Orophin locked in the most delicious kiss…Orophin pressed his fingers between Rumils cheeks, teasing his entrance through the fabric. “Do you want me, Legolas?” Haldir said, arrogantly…leaning down to take Rumils mouth even as Orophin pleasured it…his hands running down Orophins face. “Yes, Haldir!” Legolas hissed, “Torment me no longer!” “So quickly you rise to jealousy.” Haldir moaned, licking Orophins tongue as he withdrew from Rumils mouth. “as do you.” Legolas taunted. “On your knees before me, my prince.” Haldir growled. “Take me in that hot mouth of yours and show me how you yearn for my kiss.” “And what do I receive for such services?” Legolas licked his lips, his eyes falling on Haldirs length pressing through his breeches. “My brothers will decide, quite eagerly.” Haldir hissed with need as Rumil and Orophin smiled…wantonly. Legolas slid to his knees, pressing himself between Haldirs thighs. “I have never done this before…” he whispered as he lowered Haldirs breeches to his knees. “Do not bore me with such triffling she elf ways, Legolas.” Haldir growled, taking Legolas by the back of the head and forcing himself deep into Legolas mouth. The Prince nearly choked on his length, his eyes wide. “Ahh such a hot mouth you have, now put it to use.” Legolas did just that. Puckering his cheeks, he created such immense suction on Haldirs need, that the Marchwarden fell onto his back. The Prince claimed his shaft, sliding his tongue on the underside of Haldirs length…forcing the Marchwarden in and out of his lips. “Ai, you suck me as though you have taken 100 elf lords into your lips!” Haldir grasped the bedsheets, tearing them from their anchor. Orophin knelt to the side of Legolas, lowering his breeches and wrapping a hand about his length…as Rumil slowly inserted a finger into the princes’ tight pucker. “Ahh how his entrance spasms at my breech. Tight and sweet is his ass! I smell Haldirs seed all over him.” Orophin slowly slid his free hand up Legolas body, beneath his tunic. Rumil leaned in to take Orophins lips as he tended Legolas..feeling the Prince arch back into the invading digit. Faster, the Prince moved on Haldirs length, twisting his head slightly like a corkscrew, his hand tight about the base of the Marchwardens shaft as Haldir nearly jolted out of his skin. Legolas could feel him shivering beneath his lips. “Enough!” Haldir cried out, pushing Legolas back. “Another moment and I would explode in that hot mouth.” He panted. Rumil drew Legolas back across the floor as Orophin bent to taste the Princes’ weeping desire. “His need is hot, yes…Rumil, show him what desire awaits him.” Orophin released his mouth and slid himself before the Elf Lord. “Guide yourself into me.” He hissed. Legolas moaned, using his hand to guide him into Orophin… “So hot…as sweet as Velvet!” He cried out, arching his thrusts, forcing Orophin to grasp Haldirs spread legs to keep himself from falling over. Rumil did not waste time and sunk his heat hard into the prince. “Ai!” Legolas cried out….Rumils thrusts forcing him deeper into Orophins core. Haldir bent, his eyes never leaving Legolas..taking Orophins need into his hand…stroking him with such expertise that Orophin felt himself closer than he believed he could be, so quickly. “Ai, Legolas fucks like a beast…” he cried out. “And is tight as my hand in a fist!” Rumil cried out, dragging Legolas back into his need. “I grow so close already, what magick he holds between these cheeks.” “Ahh, Haldir…I am hot…” Legolas hissed in the center of the train of delights. “You will not cum inside of him, Rumil. Spill your seed elsewhere.” Haldir growled, becoming increasingly possessive. “As you wish, brother.” Rumil groaned, freeing Legolas of his tunic. “Do you like this…Haldir…watching me…take Orophin….and groaning in need of Rumil?” Now Legolas was tormenting him. Haldir growled, working Orophin like a beast. “Expell into my fingers, beautiful Orophin.” The elder Marchwarden took Orophins mouth, his eyes never leaving Legolas. Orophin cried out, Rumils strength within Legolas was forcing the Prince so deep into his entrance, he could have passed out…. Crying into Haldirs mouth, Orophin let his seed free in his brothers palm. Rumil, felt the convulsions of Legolas’ desire within Orophin, sending him over the edge. He pulled out, his seed spraying down Legolas back. Legolas dropped to all fours, panting from need and frustration. “I am not yet done!” He cried out, digging his nails against the floor. Rumil fell back laughing as Orophin layed himself back, panting for breath. “Seems the Prince has become quite the whore.” Haldir drew Legolas up from his position on the floor, pressing the Princes’ body between his legs. “Your need is so great, is it not, my Prince?” He tormented, running his fingers through Legolas’ golden mane. “Yes, Haldir…” He said weakly. “Will you not have me?” Haldir layed back upon the bed. “No, I will not have you. You have taken Rumil into you, when I have claimed you as mine. You will receive no pleasure from me.” “Haldir!” Legolas hissed, crawling atop Haldir..rubbing his shaft against Haldirs own…the friction was too delightful. “I have said no.” Haldir threw him over onto his side on the bed. Legolas groaned, his hand moving to his own pleasure. Orophin and Rumil could not help but laugh…having never seen their brother so..possessive. Haldir drew up onto his knees, taking Legolas hand away from his aching shaft. “You will receive no pleasure on my bed, this night.” Legolas felt the chills of frustration ice up his spine. “You can not leave me like this…it is agony!” “Oh, cant I?” Haldir smiled, arrogantly, sliding off the bed. “Rumil, take his arms and hold him here. Orophin, present yourself to me.” Rumil slid onto the bed, straddling Legolas and holding his hands down. “Tisk, my Prince. You have violated an oath given to Haldir in but an hour of time.” Orophin rose from the floor and layed himself on the bed, beside Legolas. Haldir took Orophins legs over his shoulders, kneeling one knee upon the bed…sliding himself into his brother with such ease. “Watch the fuck I give to him, Legolas. It was meant for you…and you will receive none of it.” Legolas could not turn his eyes away. Haldir slid so deep into Orophin that the elf grimaced in pain…yet, panting for more. “Do not torment me so, Haldir. Damn you!” Legolas struggled against Rumil but could not break free. Haldir leaned down and took Orophins mouth, his hips nearly forcing Orophin up the wall with such passion. Rhythmic and dark, Haldir groaned, turning his eyes to Legolas. “Ai, Gilboreth, My Prince…what a hot fuck you have lost…ai…so close, Legolas…can you taste it? Keep your eyes to me.” Haldir tormented. Legolas could not bear it, Haldir was calling his name as he took Orophin…giving him the pleasure that was meant for the Prince. “Haldir please…” He hissed. “Oh…you desire to see my seed flow…Ai…it cums…it cums so hard, I could drown you!” Haldir hissed, withdrawing from Orophin and letting his nectar spill over his chest. Legolas was panting for breath… Haldir leaned down, lapping the seed from Orophin with long, hot tongue strokes. Rumil released Legolas and rose, slipping his tunic over his breeches. “Looks like it was a good one, Haldir.” He chuckled. Once Orophin was licked clean, he rose regaining his clothing. “What shall we do with the Prince now? Hmm? He is desperate to explode, look into his eyes.” Haldir regained his clothing, pulling his breeches up from his knees. Legolas was shivering. “Go forth, my brothers. I will see to him…and join you on watch within the next few moments.” Rumil and Orophin slid their weapons over their backs, stocking one anothers quivers. They smiled to themselves as they left Haldirs quarters. Legolas and Haldir were alone. “Will you not have me, Haldir? After all that has happened this night…after the torment you inflict upon my body and my mind…will you leave me like this?” Legolas sat up, shaking…his breeches tight and threatening to bust through the stitching. “You will receive no pleasure from me, Legolas. Rumil has entered what I first took. I will not have you, tasting of him!” Haldir hissed, his voice filling the room in pure anger. “I can not return like this, I am agony.” Legolas shivered, his head falling into his hands. Haldir folded his arms before Legolas. “You may pollute yourself upon my floor, but no pleasure shall be found by you, upon my bed. You will not be here when I return.” Haldir took Legolas hand, licking his palm. “That is the only help you will have from me to relieve your..agony.” With that, Haldir turned and left the room. Legolas sank to the floor, taking his desire into his hand…. * Part 2 “That was a rather cruel state to leave Legolas.” Rumil chuckled as he set out for the woods with Orophin. “I have never seen Haldir so…angry…and dare I say, possessive?” Orophin looked back over his shoulder. “What did you expect, my brother? He has been taken with the Elf Lord for more years than my memory serves me. Do you not recall how of the would mutter his name in pleasure, even with us?” Rumil picked a stem of berries from one of the many fruit baring trees along the center of the forest. “I considered it nothing more than fascination, a desire for something he could not have. Harmless.” Orophin shrugged his shoulders. “Far from Harmless, now, brother. His games are getting quite rough. He hurt you on the bed, did he not?” Rumil tossed a berry into his mouth. “Aye, he did. But the pain did not last long.” Orophin held his hand out for a vein of the branch. “That is not the point, my beautiful one.” Rumil handed him a vein of the branch of berries, tossing a few more into his mouth. “Now that Legolas has done this and it was quite enjoyable, so sweet a taste and feel does the Prince of Mirkwood have.” Rumil cleared his throat and continued. “Haldir will obsess over him, it has already begun. It will be harmless no more.” The Elf Lord stretched, leaning against a mallorn. “Can you not see that by the way Haldir has denied him his desire.. merely because I entered him, even if the promise was only given in pleasure, Haldir is forcing Legolas to be bound to it.” “Imagine how mad he would have been had you spilled yourself into the Prince?” Orophin shook his head. “Then his quarrel would have been with you, this night.” “The faster the Fellowship depart from Lorien the better it will be for Haldir and for us. Not to mention Legolas.” Rumil could hear Haldir was near, still a league or more away but gaining ground quickly. “You speak as if you fear him, Rumil?” Orophin raised a brow. Rumil kept his voice low, seeing Haldir now in the near distance. “I do not fear Haldir. I fear what our brother is capable of doing. He has desired Legolas for so long that now the Prince is in his clutches, there is no telling what he can do. Day after tomorrow the Ring goes forth and with luck, all this shall pass.” “I am here, brothers!” Haldir said, closing distance to them. “How is our guest faring, Brother?” Orophin asked, tossing a bit of berry into his mouth. “He suffers in agony, writhing upon my floor for fear of polluting my bed.” Haldir said arrogantly. “He will learn to adhere to promises made in passion.” “Isnt that a bit harsh, considering he is new to this pleasure? It is a shame to leave him in such a way.” Rumil said, looking to his brother. “You seethe at the idea of to finish him off, do you not, Rumil?” Haldir growled, glaring to his brother. “I would not violate your ardor a second time. I had no idea you were going to hold Legolas to his words.” Rumil shrugged, seeing a light of insanity in Haldirs eyes. “You took him easily enough the first time.” Haldir hissed, narrowing his eyes. Orophin could now see precisely what Rumil had said, it was coming to pass right before him. “Perhaps it is just best to forget Legolas. I am sure by now, he is frustrated beyond his own understanding. We will let him be, will we not Haldir?” Haldir turned his icy glare to Orophin. “I will leave him be, when I have finished with him and not before then. Let us begin patrol. Lorien will not guard itself.” Haldir stormed off, climbing to the nearest flet. Orophin and Rumil looked to each other, exchanging understanding glances…and found their own individual flets to accompany to be alone in thought for the night. When the Prince finally succumbed to Haldir, only then would the pain and anguish for them all, end. It could well mean the end of Haldir as their lover, as well. * Legolas returned to the fellowship, sliding into the Talan. He was freshly bathed and cleansed, the coldness of his hair pressing long down his back. He said nothing as he slipped into his bedroll, leaving his own tunic on the ground beside him. It felt comfortable to be back in the clothing of his home woods. Legolas quieted his thoughts and fell into Reverie, quickly, for fear of what he would tell Aragorn in such a tender state. * Haldir stood with his back to the Mallorns, overlooking the Flet. The Fellowship slept with the quiet of the Valar, not a single soul stirred, save the Prince. Though he walked in Reverie, Legolas shuddered in his dreams. The Marchwarden wanted nothing more than to insert himself between the Prince and his bedroll, to awaken him with a hand over his mouth, stiffing his cries as Haldir took him hard upon the floor with his friends close enough to taste it. “I can feel you want me, Legolas. Your frustration is like fine wine, your desire like a dagger slicing through me. You will plead at the end, beautiful Prince. You will plead in release that only I can grant you." Haldir growled to himself, his nails clawing against the mallorn, sharply to keep his desire at bay. The Marchwarden was losing his mind with need for the Prince as the morning hours slowly crept over the Golden Wood. * Morning came too quickly. The hobbits were awake, having already cleansed themselves, one at a time. Boromir returned now, running his fingers through his hair. “Aye, the Elf is up, it seems.” He laughed, buttoning his shirt. Legolas blinked, sliding out of Reverie and looking up to the ensemble. “You slept like the dead, pointy ear.” Gimli laughed, looking no worse for wear for last nights excesses. Merry and Pippin did not fare as well. “Aragorn tried to wake you several times and not so much as a stir.” “I was quite tired.” Legolas said, his body sore from his own excesses. His mind was a mess, a whirl of frustration and guilt…coupled with desire. He sat up with a slight wince, brushing his fingers through his tangled hair, undoing the braids with an easy stroke. “Are you ready for some breakfast? The Lord and Lady are prepared to share with us what information they have.” Aragorn trimmed his beard with the sharp of his hunting dagger. “Aye.” Legolas rose, his legs still a bit shaky. Sliding his cloak about his shoulders, he rolled up his bedroll and followed the grizzly gathering toward the halls of Lorien. Within the confines of the breakfast hall, the Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel sat upon high thrones, hands entwined. Rumil and Orophin were at their sides, respectively, standing at attention. The Fellowship took breakfast with great fervor, which pleased the Lord and Lady of Light and Lorien. One by one, Celeborn and Galadriel spoke with them, quietly, go give their best counsel as to the fates that were before them. Galadriel had resigned to see Frodo that evening rather than at this present moment, when he was lost in happiness. Her words of warning for him were so sharp they could only be seen in her Mirror. An experience no other should share, save one Ringbearer to Another. Boromir looked dejected as he left the dais before Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel. Without saying a word, Legolas walked before them, bowing upon one knee, majestically. “Prince Legolas Greenleaf. A time will come when your bow will be needed, though fear will strike your heart and the hearts of your dearest friends. Go forth into the darkness, son of Mirkwood and face the challenges presented to you or the Fellowship will fail to aid the Ringbearer through the task.” Celeborn spoke softly. Galadriel smiled. “Do not let your heart be heavy, Legolas. All will be revealed as it is written. I give you only one word of thought, beware the call of the sea and the gulls that fly above it. For once you heart has touched the waters, you will wish to leave these shores for the Havens. Your time is not yet here.” Legolas bowed his head, taking their words seriously. “Yes, My Lord Celeborn and My Lady Galadriel. Your wisdom brings joy to my heart and warning to my thoughts. My bow will not fail Frodo and the Fellowship. I have sworn its service and service is what it will give.” He rose, nodding his head once more before returning to the Fellowship. “What did she say to you?” Aragorn asked. “I would fear to say what is in my heart and thoughts, Aragorn. All will come as it is meant to. Please, my friend, excuse me now, for I have much thought to give.” Legolas smiled to his friends, seated at the breakfast table…and turned, leaving them for the Golden Wood. * Legolas walked for a time in the Golden Wood, alone, beneath the glittering rays of sunlight. The warmth the sun gave was a blessing from the Valar, for winter was releasing its chill, finally. The Prince of Mirkwood thought of Gandalf and his fall before the Balrog. Such sorrow was in his heart, for the loss to the Fellowship. How could they go on without his wise counsel against the Two Towers, united. How could they defeat Sauron and Saruman the Many Colors? He knew he had to trust in Aragorn to find his destiny…that it was somehow linked directly to the fate of the ring. But Legolas had known Aragorn many long years and could not see the Dunedain relinquishing his freedom for the service of scepter and crown. So much of what the world could hold, was in the hands of a hobbit. Would that it were Elrond who took the quest, Legolas would feel the Elf Lord could resist its powers and accomplish the task. But a hobbit, untrained with nothing but a strength of spirit…how could it be done? Legolas took a sip of water from the brook, letting his hand cup the crystalline liquid to his mouth. And what of Haldir? He asked himself, still unsure of what had happened during the course of the previous evening to change his own desires…and be rebuked by the eldest of the Marchwardens? Legolas turned, quickly, hearing footsteps behind him. As if summoned from his thoughts, Haldir appeared, making himself heard…for none could detect him if he wished to be silent and unfound. “I see you are significantly better than last evening.” Haldir smirked, tossing his cloak to one side as he lowered himself to one knee, drawing up behind Legolas. “That is with no help from you.” Legolas hissed, feeling Haldir put his hands upon his shoulders. “You are quite tense and I would guess, suffering a touch of soreness. Your body has never been used in such ways before, has it, Legolas?” His voice was like wine, soft and low…smooth over the flesh. “And it will never be sore for these activities again.” Legolas shrugged his shoulders, bringing Haldirs hands from his tunic. “Those are words of frustration, Legolas. Had you not have violated your word, you would have felt the indescribable pleasure you felt earlier last evening, in the bathroom…so tight against my body, pleading…whimpering like a virgin at first rites.” Haldir was undaunted, his breath hot in Legolas ear. “You were a virgin until last night, my beautiful one. How you cried for me to have you. Ai, Legolas.” “Why do you torment me so, Haldir.” Legolas melted back against the Marchwarden as Haldir reclaimed his shoulders. “I enjoy it.” The Marchwarden whispered, arrogantly. “You have been tormenting me for more years than you realize.” Haldir hissed, removing his gloves and tracing his fingertips along Legolas flesh. Legolas moaned as Haldir moved his fingers down along his throat. “I never tormented you.” “Oh how you did, my Prince. Walking about the Golden Wood, kissed by the Sun, laughing and competing so hard against me…when all I wanted to do was take you on the archery field before all of Lorien to witness.” Haldir moaned. “I would hear you at night in your rooms, upon the grounds…the shrill cries of your whores ringing out over the sky…I could smell you inside of them….such agony!” “I never knew.” Legolas rolled his head back, moistening his lips. “Now you know and flaunt your pleasure in my face with my own brother. I could snap your throat for such torture. But you will want only me when it is done, you will feel the ache of desire burn so deeply, you will never desire another.” Haldir flicked his tongue against the soft flesh of Legolas ear. Legolas was hard, Haldirs words flowed like velvet on bare flesh. “I want your pleasure now, Haldir.” Haldir stood, releasing his hold on Legolas. “Oh, and here you were about to recant the paths of pleasure I have taught you. How fickle is the mind in the moment of arousal.” The Marchwarden laughed. “I have had enough of your games, Haldir!” Legolas rose with tremendous speed, his movement knocking the Marchwarden off balance. Legolas slid himself atop him. His lips sought Haldirs, his hands moving to pin the Marchwarden to the ground. Haldir broke free of Legolas grasp easily, throwing him over his shoulder to land upon his back..on the soft Lorien earth. “You want me enough to lose reason, Legolas? You have only begun to understand the pain and anguish I have suffered for so many hundreds of years.” Haldir rose, removing his cloak. “Come at me, my Prince. I will not be responsible for scars upon that pretty face.” Legolas rolled backwards, coming to his feet with agile grace and removing his own cloak. He charged at Haldir, intent to knock him off balance once again and caught a fist to his face…a glancing blow, for he moved too quickly for Haldir to have used his full strength. Haldir grasped Legolas, holding him tight against his body, pressing his hips into Legolas hind. His desire, hard and evident. “Ahh do you feel that, my beautiful Prince. You have awoken me with your fearless skill.” Haldir hissed sharp into Legolas ear. “Did you sleep well last night, Legolas? Did you dream of me, beautiful Prince?” Haldir traced his fingertip down the length of Legolas’ jaw. “Did you writhe for the agony of your denial, pleading for me to come for you in the night?” Legolas bit his lip, fighting back a whimper of pure need…ashamed at his weakness, for he had wished that the darkness would find Haldir, desiring him. “I believe I may have dreamt of Rumil…and the exquisite suck Orophin gives in the heat of passion.” Haldir growled, tightening his hold on Legolas throat. The Prince responded with a swift elbow to the midsection, sending Haldir back three paces. The Marchwarden rose, reclaiming his cloak, laughing….taking deliberate steps to close the distance between he and Legolas once more. “Is that so?” Legolas leaned back against one of the mallorns, seeing the deadly look in Haldirs eyes…a glaze of insanity born of desire and jealousy. He did not move as Haldir approached him, pressing his body tight into the Prince. “Hmm if Rumil or Orophin are your desires, why do you rest against this tree like a caged beast? Why do you throb with such hard desire?” Haldir pressed his hips tight to Legolas’, rubbing his arousal against the Princes’ upturned shaft, bracing his hand beside Legolas on the tree. The Marchwarden panted for breath with such teasing contact. “Ai, Legolas…” he hissed, “I will not find satisfaction until you cry my name from the earth to the Havens.” Legolas lowered his eyes, shivering as Haldir set to grinding his shaft against his own. His body responded, hips bucking in delicate counter rhythm. “Kiss me, Haldir…Or I swear I will take your mouth and never release it.” Haldir could take it no longer. “Its too much.” He groaned in pain, tracing his tongue against Legolas’ lower lip, feeling the Princes’ hot breath over his tongue. His hands fell at Legolas’ throat, moaning in need. “You are poison dripped into an already deadly wound.” His mouth was so tempting, so hot and welcoming…Haldir lapped against his lip with slow strokes, tasting the teasing tip of Legolas’ tongue and nearly losing itself in the sweetness. “Why do you restrain…” Legolas moaned, feeling Haldirs breath hot over his lips. “I do not taste the mouths of my conquests, they are meant for only one thing…my pleasure.” Haldir hissed, still caught in the moment. “Haldir?” A voice called out, still some distance from where Legolas and Haldir stood, tormenting one another in pleasure. “The Ranger approaches, Legolas. Such shame that we are no longer alone.” Haldir laughed arrogantly, sliding the palm of his hand against the Princes’ arousal. Legolas gasped, holding Haldirs hand against his desire. The Prince writhed his hips into the warmth…his face flushing. “Do not leave me here, like this, Haldir.” The Prince gasped. Haldir laughed, cruelly. “Nightfall, my Prince. I will come for you, then.” The Marchwarden could take it no longer. He had to have him or he would lose what was left of his mind. Pulling back, Haldir shrugged his shoulder, his cloak falling over his arousal. Legolas groaned, taking a deep breath to calm himself, lowering himself to his haunches to hide his obvious…state of arousal. “Haldir, your brothers told me I would find you not far from Legolas. I must speak with you at length. Forgive me, I do not wish to interfere, Legolas.” Aragorn came through the woods without an audible footfall, or so he believed, for Elven ears could not be deceived. “Of course, Aragorn. Legolas and I are finished with our debate.” Haldir turned, bowing to the Prince. “It is well, Aragorn.” Legolas managed, watching as Haldir walked off with his friend. * Legolas could not wait any longer. The Moon had risen high over the sky and he was shivering with anticipation and desire. The Fellowship gathered around, exchanging stories of days long before the Ring had come to be known. “Are you well, Legolas?” Aragorn looked to the Prince. “You seem distracted.” “I must find Haldir, I fear my debate is not settled with him.” Legolas rose. “I will return shortly.” “We leave early, my friend.” Aragorn said as the Hobbits sipped some of the Dwarven Grog sent for Gimli. “Thieves! Unhand it!” The Dwarf laughed and threatened in one motion. “I will not be long.” Legolas said and rose, slipping like a shadow against the Mallorns. * Legolas walked to the center of the forest once more. The firelight was a beacon, drawing him with shivering legs to where he believed Haldir would be. “Haldir” he cried out, searching for signs of movement. With his sharp sight, Legolas could not see Haldir…but instead, he found Rumil and Orophin laying sideways upon the floor…with a third party set between them. Rumil took the front of a beautiful Elf Maiden, her body gliding against him all the while Orophin tended to her backside. The she elf took them both at the same time, each buried to the hilt within her…all the while, Rumil and Orophin tasted one another…over her shivering shoulder. Orophins hands slid down the She-elfs body, reaching for his brother. This is torture, you take me so much deeper, so much He hissed, thrusting wildly into the lass, all the while his eyes never left Rumil. “There is time, beautiful Orophin.” Rumil groaned, sliding his fingers into Orophins hand. “Ai, Brother, I grow close…I can feel you inside of her…yes, cum with me…harder..” The she elf moaned, enraptured by the double pleasure, never paying more than a moment of attention to the brothers dialogue. Legolas braced his hand upon the Mallorn closest to him, watching with fascination and growing desire. Orophin thrusted hard enough to feel his brothers desire between the thin skin separating the she-elfs orifice from the other. “Yes, Rumil, you delicious tease…how hard I will take you…Ai, Brother…I expel…wanting your tightness around me!” The two shivered, locked within the tight sheath of their conquest. Rumil sought his brothers mouth, cumming hard within the she-elf…feeling the heat from Orophins seed like a flash flood through the lass. “I can witness this no longer.” Legolas dug his nails into the tree, forcing himself to turn from the scene. His desire was on edge, dancing through his skin like fire. He had to find Haldir to slake this madness that had invaded his flesh. The Prince walked back toward the Great Hall of Lorien, pausing to take a deep breath and calm his raging desire. “Haldir.” He moaned softly, pressing his back to the grand Mallorn, feeling defeated. “I told you I would come for you.” Haldir spoke into the night, his body materializing from the shadows themselves. “I have followed you since you left the Talan. Your patience and control dangles so close to the edge.” His voice was edgy and wrought with desire. He closed the distance between them, near enough for Legolas to taste the desire in the air. Haldir looked up. “Guards are on patrol just above us. I can not…be seen with you here. My Quarters.” Legolas nodded, fighting the shiver Haldirs voice brought to his body. He followed Haldir back to his Chambers, stepping in as the Marchwarden closed the door behind him. His eyes never leaving Legolas. He is playing with me.. Legolas realized as he watched Haldir slowly move closer, pressing him back against the wall with agonizing precision. Haldir traced his fingers through Legolas hair, removing the warriors braids to leave his golden mane dangling against his face. “So beautiful.” The Marchwarden moaned, sliding his hips against Legolas…before turning and walking deeper into the room. Legolas moistened his lips with the tip of his tongue. “You continue to torment me, Haldir.” He managed out, slowly. He wanted to scream, What are you waiting for? “As your presence in my rooms, torment me.” Haldir turned his fathomless blue eyes to Legolas, his lithe body pressed against the wall, tense with desire. “Ease my torment, Haldir.” The Prince took steps away from the wall as Haldir turned, watching his approach. Legolas stood before the Marchwarden, his shaking fingers slowly unbuttoning Haldirs tunic. Haldir looked up, his eyes closed, feeling the Prince strip him of his tunic, tossing it to the floor. He wanted Legolas so badly his body simply froze at the thought of having him. What the hell is happening to me? Legolas opened Haldirs under chemise, running his fingers lightly on Haldirs flesh and slowly up to the Marchwardens throat. “Do I not please you, Haldir?” Legolas moaned against the sensitive flesh at the tip of Haldirs ears. His tongue flicked the lobe. “You are driving me to distraction. I am obsessed with you.” Haldir moaned, his fingers sliding into Legolas golden mane. “Take me in that hot mouth of yours, Legolas.” The Prince slowly slid his body down Haldirs, shakingly lowering the Marchwardens breeches to rest against his thighs. Parting his lips, Legolas took the crown of Haldirs swollen desire into the warm depths…claiming him inch by glorious inch, until the Marchwarden was devoured into his throat. “Ai, Legolas. That mouth. My Mouth.” Haldir hissed, his fingers sliding to the back of Legolas head as he pumped his hips in and out of that exquisite suction. Legolas’ moan vibrated along the underside of Haldirs shaft, sending the Marchwarden into a flurry of groans. The Prince claimed him harder, deeper….until Haldir pushed him away. “Another lick of that tongue and you would drink me.” Legolas licked his lips, the taste of Haldirs seed hot on his tongue. “I would devour you, if you but let me!” “No.” Haldir said, trying to regain his control He turned, walking to the bed and laying down across its width. “Come to me, Legolas.” The Marchwarden whispered, commandingly. Legolas rose from the floor, shaking and joined Haldir on the bed. The Marchwarden slowly began to strip the Prince of his clothing…his eyes feasting on Legolas body, so lithe and muscular. Haldir passed his fingertips over Legolas flesh, feeling the Prince tense and groan, the tip of his desire glistening with such delicious pearls. “Haldir, you set me afire, I swear it. My blood burns!” Torment. Pure Torment. Haldir pushed Legolas back on the bed, stripped free of his clothing…his own torn off and discarded upon the floor. The marchwarden slid his body atop the Prince, feeling their skin kiss so intimately. Legolas cried out, his fingers sliding into Haldirs golden tendrils, his head writhing side to side with the intensity of the sensation. Haldir slowly lowered himself, his unbelievably steady hands beginning to tremble. Parting his lips, Haldir did what he never had to another lover…he took Legolas into the hot confines of his mouth The prince cried out, his hips arching as Haldirs incredibly velvet lips claimed him in succor so exquisite, he swore he would leave his skin. "Hal..dir…” The Marchwarden groaned at the taste of him. Moaning against the Elf Lords tip, Haldir lapped at the crown, sipping his desire as it wept in glistening pearls. He could take no more! Haldir devoured the Prince with tight suction, claiming and reclaiming him into his throat until Legolas had to be held down upon the bed by the Marchwardens strength. Haldir released his mouth, lapping his tongue down along the Princes’ tight sac, cupping the tender jewels into the warmth of his mouth until Legolas tore at his own hair, pleading to release. “Not yet. I have not had my fill of you, Legolas.” Haldir commanded, letting the firm jewels slip from his lips, letting them trail down the curve of his chin. The Marchwarden raised Legolas legs, rolling the Prince to his side. Licking a trail from Legolas tender jewels, Haldir parted the Elf Lords firm cheeks…and let his tongue dance over his quivering pucker. The Prince groaned hard as Haldir slipped his tongue into the tight entrance. The marchwarden hissed at the taste of him, his nails spreading Legolas’ cheeks further…his tongue going deeper within him. “I can not bear this attention!” Legolas writhed at the verge of spilling tears of pleasure. His fingers tore at the bed sheets as he gasped for breath. Haldir was an Elf possessed, tasting Legolas’ quaking entrance with long, velvet strokes deep within his core. “Are you ready for me?” Haldir moaned, shaking as the pleasure he gave to Legolas washed over him. Another moment spent worshipping that tight pucker and Haldir would have achieved his release without the benefit of assistance. “Ai, Haldir…please…” Legolas lower lids were wet with tears of indescribable delight. He was overwhelmed. Haldir slithered up the Elf Lords shivering body, raising his legs to rest over his shoulders. “Shh, my beautiful obsession, I will ease you…” Haldir moaned against Legolas flesh, pressing the tip of his aching desire to Legolas’ well prepared entrance. “Ahh!” Legolas cried out, panting for breath as Haldir united them with agonizing slowness. The Marchwarden used the last of his control to thrust himself to the hilt, inch by beautiful inch. “I could bury myself…inside of you, and never come forth!” Haldir groaned, holding himself deep within Legolas, his eyes looking into his Princes’… Legolas bucked his hips, feeling Haldir hold that spot of his infinite pleasure with the extreme pressure of his hips. Legolas was writhing out of control with Haldirs length pressed to his core so steadily. “Quiet yourself…Feel each inch of me…within you…our flesh…one flesh…” Haldir cried out in strangled moans. The sensation was spiritual. Legolas could feel Haldirs length pulsing within him, held with such control and stillness…and yet such passion the Prince swore he would explode. Slowly, Haldir began his thrust, each moan meeting Legolas’ cries. “Torment!” The Prince cried out, needed to feel more of Haldir, faster..harder. Haldir bit his lip, fighting for control. He lowered his forehead to press against the bridge of Legolas’ nose. Looking up, the two locked eyes, a slave to the slow, agonizingly hard thrust. In that moment, the Marchwarden slid his tongue along Legolas’ lips…parting them. The Prince moaned into Haldirs mouth, his tongue sliding against Haldirs velvet kiss…feeling the Marchwarden take his lips with such commanding softness, it drove Legolas to insanity. Haldir lost all sense of control within the confines of Legolas’ lips, drinking the sweet nectar as though no finer wine had been poured, from a chalice no golden court could craft. “Ai!” Haldir moaned, his body yielding to pleasure, thrusting into him with such ferocity, he swore he would release himself. “I will have you deeper than this…” Haldir groaned, sliding out of Legolas, his body shaking uncontrollably. He took his lovers mouth once more, panting, his weeping length poised at Legolas entrance. “..I will have you..inside of me.” Legolas placed his hands on the either side of Haldirs face, drinking his kiss as though it was the only thing that could sate him. Haldir pulled away slowly, rolling onto his back. Legolas gave no second thought to fear, rolling atop his lover…he mimicked Haldirs movements, placing the marchwardens legs over his shoulders. Pressing the tip of his crown against Haldirs pucker, Legolas hesitated…looking down in the eyes of his beautiful Marchwarden. “Another moment… and I will…burst.” Haldir cried out, giving the Prince no quarter for debate or fear…and impaled himself on Legolas’ thick shaft. “Ai, by the Valar!” Haldir cried out. Never had anyone taken him… never had he desired it…the sensation was…bliss. Legolas thrust to the hilt within his lover, desire overshadowing any moment of hesitation or inexperience. Haldir was hot and tight against his thickness… “I..can not hold this, Haldir!” Legolas groaned, feeling their flesh of one flesh…spirit of one spirit. “Tight, Haldir.. Ai, Elboreth!” Haldir entwined his fingers into Legolas’ own, his eyes looking deep into the Princes’. The Elf Lord hit the most exquisite spot, the tip of his length rubbing deep within Haldir, sending him over the edge. Haldir writhed beneath Legolas, the Princes’ thrusts were more than he could bear! Legolas called out to his lover with a strangled cry of desire. “Haldir! Haldir, I can not…I am ….” Legolas gasped for breath, his body releasing in hard convulsions…sending hot seed buried deep into Haldir. “Valar!” Legolas screamed, his body caving to desire, his eyes rolling back… Haldir could not hold it any longer… even as Legolas spoke. Crying out, Haldir ripped into the sheets, his seed spilling in hot streams down his chest…his tight entrance seizing around Legolas’ desire, squeezing and massaging as the Elf Lord continued to thrust… “Val.. ar…” Legolas felt Haldir expel, his slit eyes watching the stream of pearls weep from his lovers length… The Marchwardens tight entrance bringing him off till the Prince swore he would pass out. Legolas was shaking so terribly, he could barely remove himself. Dropping down atop Haldir, the Prince shivered uncontrollably. Haldirs arms encircled him, panting for breath with a sudden fear he might never catch his wind. Haldir refused to disjoin them…savoring the feeling of Legolas deep within his core, even as the Elf Lord was beginning to soften…at the point of pure bliss and complete exhaustion. * “Haldir?” Rumil stepped into his brothers quarters, his eyes suddenly beholding the image of Legolas joined with Haldir, panting atop him, Haldirs arms cradling the Prince, tenderly. Rumil was in shock. Holding a hand out to stop Orophin from moving further, even the youngest Marchwarden could not believe his eyes. “Haven’t you ever heard of knocking?” Haldir growled as Legolas turned his face away from the two entering brothers. The Eldest Marchwarden draped his arms tighter about Legolas as if shielding him. Turning onto his side, Haldir hesitantly disjoined them, ending their exquisite union and drawing the covers up against their bodies. “Since when do we have to knock, Haldir? Acting a might protective for you latest conquest, aren’t you?” Rumil chortled, narrowing his eyes toward Haldir…with a twinge of jealousy. “And since when have you played the modest flower, big brother? You never cover your body from us. But then again, you never let us have you either, do you?” Orophin was feeding off Rumils jealousy, a dark glance falling over his eyes. “Who are you both to tell me anything?” Haldir flared. “We will continue this discussion outside.” “I believe, beautiful brother, that Haldir has let his obsession go to his head over this little chit.” Orophin chided. “I believe, Orophin, you may be correct.” Rumil turned and walked out, shaking his head, disgustedly as Orophin followed, slamming the door. “Legolas, I will return in a moment.” Haldir growled, slipping on his long shimmering gray Robes. “What seems to be the issue, despite the Jealousy I sense?” Legolas felt the tension, rolling over onto his side, letting his head rest upon his hand. “They have no need for jealousy. We are not bound.” Haldir said icilly. “I see.” Legolas smirked at the way Haldir placed his words. Did this mean nothing but a casual moment? Why would Haldir allow himself to be taken, if he swore it was something he had never done before, even with his brothers? Why in the name of Morgoth was he thinking like this? Haldir turned and slipped out of his chambers, closing the door behind him. Orophin and Rumil were standing face to face in the woods just a few paces away, speaking heatedly amongst themselves. “You owe me an explanation for your Elfling behavior!” Haldir hissed, folding his arms before his chest, authoritatively. “Owe you an explanation?” Rumil hissed. “You were unable to be found this night and when we come to seek you, what do we see…but Legolas entwined so tenderly in your arms, his body still lingering within yours!” “Since when does the Prince receive of you what we have been shunned from having?” Orophin growled. “Who is he to you, other than a fantasy fulfilled?” “My body and my desires do not belong solely to either of you. Watch how you speak to me, brothers.” Haldir kept his voice deadly low, dripping with venom. “Who are you to speak to us, thusly, brother?” Rumil growled, stepping in toward Haldir. “I can smell him all over you. You are ripe with him!” “As you are ripe with jealousy, Rumil.” Haldir was far from intimidated as his younger brother stepped up against him. He was the strongest of the three and he knew it. “You will stand down from me.” Rumil shook his head, turning his back and walking away disgustedly. Orophin could not believe Haldirs flippancy. “So now you have your Prince and you turn upon us?” “He is leaving Lorien come morning. What does it matter to you, Orophin, if it does not matter to me? I have had my fill of him, now let it be.” Even as Haldir said his words, he was not sure HE could let it be with Legolas, now that he had tasted him…been taken by him. “Then we will continue our discussion when the interloper leaves.” Orophin hissed, bracing his arm about Rumil. “Come brother, let us depart.” Haldir grimaced, turning and walking back into his quarters, where Legolas stood, already dressed. “Leaving so soon, Legolas?” The Marchwarden said, closing the door behind him. “What does it matter to you, if nothing else does.” Legolas raised an arrogant brow. “I will return to the fellowship and leave Lorien gladly behind me. May you and your brothers find safe shores should the war go ill.” “So, you intend to leave like this, giving me no benefit of explanation for what you have mistakenly overheard.” Haldir was truly at a loss for words. “You owe me nothing, least of all an explanation. My ears do not deceive me, Galadhrim.” Legolas walked to the door, pausing as he opened it to give one last look to Haldir in his robes, praying silently the Marchwarden would stop him… With a sigh, he left the Marchwardens quarters for the comfort of the Talan beside his friends. To Legolas surprise, Haldir did not call after him or follow him. He had heard correctly, even if his thoughts swore he had believed something had transpired between he and Haldir in the midst of their intimacy. Apparently, the Prince was deceived, on a deeper level than he wanted to admit to himself. To Be Continued…. Chapter 5 “I have been waiting for you.” Aragorn said quietly as Legolas entered the Talan, freshly cleansed, his hair smelling of night blooming flowers. Legolas was shocked to find Aragorn awake, his cloak concealing him in the darkness. The Prince could see the Rangers eyes from beneath the hem of his hood. “Is everything alright?” Legolas asked in a whisper. Aragorn motioned toward the forest, rising and silently stepping over the Hobbits, who were locked in the last night of rest before the journey continued. Legolas followed Aragorn, pausing to take a drink from the fountain beside the talan. “Is everything alright, Aragorn?” The Ranger lowered his hood, his mahogany tendrils falling in unruly cascades along the side of his face. “Frodo looked into the Mirror and was distraught this night. I am worried for him, and the burden he carries, Legolas. But that is not the reason I ask you here.” Aragorn studied Legolas, carefully. “This is not the first time you have returned late to us with a look of concern in your eyes. Tell me, friend, what is troubling you? It is more than Gandalf, though his loss grieves our hearts so heavily.” “I can not discuss it, Aragorn. Forgive me.” Legolas stood stone still, his water goblet gripped like an ancient offering in his slender hands. “Listen to me, Legolas. Whatever is going on here in Lorien must remain here in Lorien. I have seen your distraction and it can not affect the Quest we undertake! The lives of Middle Earth are upon the hilt of our swords, the tips of our arrows.” Aragorn was stern and serious. The Warrior outweighing the Ranger, evident in his voice. “I will do nothing to put the lives of this Fellowship or Arda itself in danger!” Legolas countered, bitterly. “Your distraction is dangerous enough. Please, friend. Do not mistake my words. I do not seek to scold you for whatever weighs so heavy in your thoughts, but nothing must come before the task. I need you at full speed, Legolas.” Aragorn placed a hand on the Princes’ shoulder, respectfully. He did not have the heart to tell Legolas he had tracked him to Haldirs doorstep, was witness to the skirmish of the brothers before leaving to rejoin the Fellowship. It would have to come from Legolas, in his own time. Though Aragorn could feel Legolas being ripped asunder. There would be little time for thoughts of this once the journey continued on…to Mordor. “And I will be. My bow is in service to Frodo and all of Middle Earth. I will not let you down.” Legolas said truthfully, returning the gesture of Aragorns concern by placing his own hand at the Rangers shoulder. “Good, my friend.” Aragorn said softly. “Come and let us find rest this night. We leave in the early hours.” “A moment more and I will find peace.” Legolas said, releasing his hand from Aragorns shoulder. The Ranger slid back into the Talan, his own thoughts recalling the way he had left his beloved Arwen in Imladris, all but breaking her heart to save her own life and give her reason to seek the West. Aragorn fingered the Evenstar about his neck, lovingly as he settle down into his bedroll. Legolas was not sure why he had stayed outside the Talan for as long as he did. The better part of an hour, his eyes scanned the woods, in hope of seeing Haldir. Legolas believed the Marchwarden would come to him, to plead his case and make amends for his words to Rumil and Orophin. To taste him one last time. Resignedly, Legolas turned and headed into the Talan, leaving the High Court dress of the Galadhrim on the outside of the tent. His reverie was uneasy, his body aching for more of Haldirs touch. * Haldir hunched within the bow of the Mallorn overlooking the Fellowships’ talan. Legolas was visible to his farseeing eyes, his face locked in comfort and reverie. The Marchwarden wished to come to him, to wake him and offer some explanation before the Prince departed with his comrades. But there was nothing to say. Legolas had become another conquest, a story the Brothers would tell a hundred years from now in fond remembrance. Haldir drank in the Princes’ sleeping image. The Marchwarden moved cautiously toward the talan with unhearing steps to reclaim Legolas garments, before departing for the borders of Lorien to find and reconcile with his two, angry brothers. * The Fellowship stood upon the banks of LothLorien, watching the Lady Galadriel as she moved before each. “To you, Master Meriadoc and Master Peregrin we give to you these Elvish Daggers, used in service to those of the First War. May they keep you safe.” She spoke softly. Galadriel smiled softly. “To you, Samwise Gamgee, I give you a length of Elven Rope.” Sam looked dejected. “Not to sound ungrateful, but have you any of those nice shiny daggers left?” Galadriel laughed softly. “To you, Legolas son of Thranduil, I give you the bow of the Galadhrim. May you use it well.” The Prince bowed his head to the Lady of Light, his fingers dancing over the taut string. The bow was far lighter than his own. Lowering herself before Frodo, she smiled softly. “And to you, Frodo, I give you the Light of Earendil, our most beloved star. May it be a light for you in dark places, when all other lights, go out.” Galadriel paused before Aragorn, her fingertips splaying along the Evenstar at his throat. “She has given herself to you.” The Lady said in Elvish. “For her love, I fear the light of the Evenstar will fade. We will not meet again, Elessar.” She kissed his forehead softly. “You are being tracked.” Lord Celeborn said quietly to Aragorn as Galadriel moved toward the Dwarf. Handing the Ranger an Elven Hunting knife, Aragorn nodded in understanding. The warning was serious. Gimli received three strands of the Lady Galadriels hair, holding them tight to his heart as the Fellowship began to load into the boats of Lorien, supplied with Lembas bread. The heart heavy Fellowship began to paddle from the tree rooted docks of Lorien, Legolas eyes falling on the vision of the three brothers standing upon the shore. Haldir was standing a few paces forward as his brothers flanked either side of him, the Marchwardens hands folded at their chests. Legolas studied the strong stature of the three, how steadfast and untouchable they seemed. The Prince could not turn his eyes away from such imposing figures, watching the morning sun glisten from their strung Galadhrim bows. And only then, did Legolas realize, Haldir had no bow, draped over his shoulder. In that moment of realization, the boats caught current. The Galadhrim bow Galadriel had given to him, was Haldirs very own. The Prince studied it, lifting it to the light as he let the current take the boat carrying he and Gimli. Lifted to the sun, the Prince could see a single long blonde strand of hair wound through the bowstring…. * “I see the Prince departs LothLorien with a pleasing trinket. How delicate and tasteful of you, Haldir, to insist on such a thoughtful gift. Bound with strands of your own hair. How decadent.” Rumil narrowed his eyes, watching as the boats disappeared over the horizon. “Good Riddance.” He murmured. “Why your own bow, brother, when there are many in the armory that could have been sent off with him?” Orophin tried to calm the rising tension between Rumil and Haldir. “For his protection.” Haldir said simply to Orophin, turning from the shores, his eyes upon Rumil. “The danger is passed for you now, Rumil. Legolas leaves these shores for the protection of Middle Earth. Will you weep to his departure?” Rumil narrowed his eyes, storming off into the Golden Wood. Orophin looked to Haldir, who obviously still held a grudge to Rumil, with a sigh and followed after his brother. Haldir smiled at the nerve he had so cruelly struck in Rumil, though his eyes turned once more to the horizon, the boats carrying the fellowship long gone from Lorien. * “I asked for but a strand of her beautiful hair, she gave me three.” Gimli smiled softly, patting his chest. The strands were carefully placed in safety and the Dwarf beamed, proudly. “A handsome gift.” Legolas smiled softly, paddling the boat. His mind was in Lorien, with Haldir, though he dared not say so. Haldir had not come to him after the Prince stormed off like a spoiled child, confused and afraid of his own desires. Why then would Haldir give such a valuable gift of his own bow? The Prince remained quiet, even as Aragorn spoke loud enough against the rushing current to point out the statues of the Numenor Kings of Old. There was too much to consider, too many thoughts to plague his mind with the journey ahead. But even in the dark thoughts of the war that would come, Legolas was in thought, devoted, to only Haldir. Surely, the Marchwardens would accompany the Lord and Lady of Light into the West. Legolas would never see Haldir again, why such a parting gift as this? Was this merely a consolation prize for time spent and sweat spilled in the name of passion? Or, was there something more to come of this? * Frodo and Sam left the Fellowship. Boromir passed to the veil of the worlds. Even with Aragorns reassurance, Legolas felt he was helpless and wanted nothing more than to launch the one remaining boat to find the two errant hobbits! Surely the three of them could fit, for the boats were of strong LothLorien construction. The second boat they had in their possession was sent as herald for Boromir, his body held within for burial upon the mighty Anduin. “We will not abandon Merry and Pippin to torment and death. We travel light. Lets hunt some orc!” The Ranger cried out, clasping his hand over Legolas’ and Gimlis’ shoulders. Both were eager to find Frodo and Sam, but knew it would come to no avail. Frodo had to move on, away from the influence of the Ring upon his closest friends. But Merry and Pippin were taken, even as Boromir fell defending them, valiantly, making amends for the insanity brought about by the Ring…and his desire to take it from the Ringbearer to Gondor. With renewed strength, the Three left the woods for the Hunt of Uruk-Hai in several days pursuit with no food or rest…nor sigh of their query. A test of endurance that suffered the Dwarf and Mortal Ranger greatly, though Legolas found he could run and fall into Reverie, awaking in mid stride, all the fresher. Such was a blessing of the Elves! Haldir was ever in his thoughts, as was the meaning of such a delicate riddle left strung on the Galadhrim bow. Overtaking the Uruk-Hai, the three pursued Merry and Pippin only to find the two hobbits had escaped from their bindings and into the Forests of Fanghorn. The Rohirrim, commanded by the Second Marshall, Eomer, swore the two were dead with all the Uruk-hai party. This was not so they would come to find out and the hearts of the three friends were lifted, after so many days of chase to their query. The bonds were broken and small tracks led deep into the haunted forest, away from the scene of the Uruk-Hai slaughter. “Fanghorn.” Gimli exclaimed, somewhat fearfully, though he would never admit to such. “What madness drove them in there?” “We are to find out, Gimli. On the Morrow.” Aragorn nodded solemnly, careful to collect the dead fallen limbs for a soft campfire, for fear of upsetting the spirits of Fanghorn. Eomers words came to him even as Elf Elf and Dwarf slept soundly on the borders of the forest. “The White Wizard is cunning. He moves here and there, they say.” A shape caught Aragorns eye late in the evening as he looked to the borders of the forest. A figure, clothed in white, moved into the confines of the trees. Saruman was near.. and Aragorn was helpless to respond to the White Wizards magic. Relieved of watch, Aragorn fell into quick slumber. The first in many days chase had finally yielded to rest. Legolas now sat before the fire, holding his bow within his slender fingers, studying the reflected light upon the single strand of Haldirs mane wound through the taut cord. His memory recalled the sharp taste of Haldir upon his lips, the feel of his body entwined within the Princes’. “Haldir.” Legolas whispered softly upon the wind, lowering his eyes for a single moment to recall the beauty of the Marchwarden of Lorien and the desire to see him but once more. * The Morning hours came and once more the three hunters, Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli, tracked the soft imprints in the ground to the very innards of Fanghorn Forest. “This forest is old, so old that I feel young again. The trees bear much memory and much anger.” Legolas stood amidst the ancient trees of the forest, his keen eyes searching for every sign of life in its confines. “Stay on your guard.” Aragorn commanded. “Someone is here. The White Wizard approaches.” Legolas spoke in his native tongue to Aragorn. “Be prepared. We must not let him speak or he will cast a spell upon us.” The Ranger once more said, even as Legolas pressed an arrow to the string of his bow. * Gandalf the White presented himself to the Fellowship, in the forest of Fanghorn. He had returned from the Halls of Awaiting, sent by Illuvatar until his task was at last done. The nature of his task, the remaining Fellowship could only guess, however, for Gandalf was not one to talk openly in any incarnation he might assume. It was known by those who still worshipped Illuvatar and the Valar, that Sauron the Deceiver, a Maiar spirit himself in service to Melkor, was the enemy of all the Maiar spirits, the Istari of Arda. Perhaps it was Gandalfs last task to see him destroyed. Together, the Reunited friends traveled hard to Rohan for fear of the words they would bring, for Theoden King was long under the spell of Saruman of Many Colors. Merry and Pippin were safe upon the guard of the Ents, this much brought the hunters joy. Edoras, the city of Rohan, was quiet and solemn upon the approach of the four reunited friends.ndalndalf spoke of Theoden and the influence of the spell that fell over him. For Theoden King no longer recognized friend from foe. Even as the four entered Rohan Proper, their greeting was dim from Theoden and his council, Wormtongue. Gandalf the White released the King from his bonds of control and for a moment, the reawakened fellowship found rest…even as Theoden mourned for his lost child, Theodred, last of the line of the King. * “You have been silent since we left LothLorien. What seems like an age ago, was only in truth, several long weeks in one.” Aragorn sighed softly, coming to stand beside Legolas on the steps of Meduseld. “There is much to consider, for never before has the weight of Arda rested so heavily upon my heart.” Legolas looked to the sky, finding comfort in the soft stars of Varda, Queen of Heaven, even as they yielded to the threat of morning. “Something else rests heavy upon your heart. I have seen you cradle the bow of the Galadhrim. The gold that glints from its cord, is it not the hair of Haldir himself, Eldest and Most trusted of the Marchwardens of Lorien?” Aragorn packed his pipe slowly, sure to keep his tone soft and welcoming. Legolas paused. “It is. A handsome gift from Haldir that I will cherish.” Aragorn lit his pipe, sparking a flinom tom the gruff of his beard. Puffing, the Ranger watched Legolas’ outline against the Rohan night sky. "Many fates lie in the hands of a hobbit, dear friend.” “As some are long gone out of my own.” Legolas braced a soft hand on Aragorns shoulder. “I find rest within Meduseld. My ears will be open, for trouble is destined to come to these lands, as sure as the sun rises and sets, red.” Aragorn nodded softly in understanding. Legolas’ agony, though cleverly hidden, reflected his own thoughts of Arwen and her sailing to the West with all that was left of her Kin. Morning was beginning to break and tiredness swept over the Ranger. He, himself would seek shelter and make peace with his dreams. * The Prince of Mirkwood took shelter in the appointments of his chambers in Rohan. Laying his bow and white knives on the floor near his grasp, Legolas slowly slipped into the intricate carved bed. The Mattress was filled with hay and stocked with an overlay of downe, comfortable after finding rest while on the run. The Prince softly unbraided his hair as he rested his weary form, still feeling the sigh of his muscles from the intense encounter with Haldir. The Marchwarden was beautiful and yet indescribably powerful, a respected and trusted warrior, a captain of the Galadhrim in service to LothLorien. Every moment that the Prince sought the sky for signs of danger…it was Haldirs eyes he saw. “I can not get the vision of him, the feel of him out of my thoughts.” Legolas shifted in the downe bed, restlessly. “I still feel his touch on my skin, my seed burying deep within him!” Legolas felt himself growing thick with the memory of Haldir, his fingers slowly tracing the throbbing desire bound within his breeches. The Prince bit his lip softly, feeling the ridges of his most precious crown respond to his intimate attentions. Haldir… * Haldir… The Eldest Marchwarden bathed in the waterfalls of LothLorien before the sun crested to herald a new day. The cold water felt exquisite along his back as he softly massaged sweet scented oils into his platinum tresses. Mid stroke of the massage of foaming oil from his mane, Haldir heard the call, the feel of Legolas over his body, the very scent of the Prince overwhelming his senses. The Marchwarden grasped his hand against the jagged rocks, letting his head fall…the feel of the cool water sliding down the side of his face, dripped from the springs through his nearly flaxen hair. “Legolas. I feel you. I can hear you…” He whispered softly, tormented by images of the beautiful Prince. His beautiful Prince. Haldir shifted, lowering his naked form amidst the waterfalls, to his haunches. The Marchwarden felt as though he was losing his mind, his thoughts torn asunder… “Captain!” The loud voice came from the ridge above the waterfalls. A name he had not been called in many weeks of rest and replenishment. For a moment, Haldir nearly found peace, away from the march of battle, the flash of his sword. For weeks now, the only task for he and his brothers, members within his regiment, had been to take guard of the Golden Wood. A vacation, of sorts. But the words now alarmed him and he rose, slipping his clothes on, the moisture of his flesh keeping them tight to his form. Haldir wondered now if he had heard Legolas call him at all, or was it merely one of his battalion. “Yes, Elthilin. I am here.” Haldir called back, ascending the ridge. The Galadhrim, Elthilin, stood with his back to the waterfall, awaiting the Captains climb. Upon hearing Haldirs voice, he turned, bowing his head in respect. “Forgive me, my Lord Captain. I bring a missive from the Lady of Light. She will see you and no other.” “What is this about?” Haldir tied his hair back, hastily, the wet tendrils clinging to his neck. “Has the border patrol returned already? They are only three weeks in and not due back for four?” The Captain of the Marchwardens cocked an arrogant brow, his features stone chiseled. His all too brief vacation was about to come to an end. “All strings and Captains have returned to Lorien at the Call of Lady Galad and and Lord Celeborn. They made great haste and covered two weeks worth of ground in one.” Elthilin said with a somber tone to his voice. “They traveled with unparalleled haste. I will see to the Lady at once.” Haldir nodded and led the way back to The Hall. * Chapter 6 The Great Hall of Meduseld was solemn. The fellowship had rested until the night sky slowly inked over Rohan and brought with it a simple feast. All the while, Theoden received reports of the horrors that had befallen his Kingdom while he wandered in a dark sleep rife with evil dreams. “This is but a taste of the terror Saruman will unleash. All the more potent for he is driven mad by fear of Sauron. Ride out and meet him head on. Draw him away from your women and children. You must fight.” Gandalf said strongly, his hand braced at the arm of the Kings throne. Aragorn let the bow of the pipe drip over his lower lip. “You have two thousand good men riding north as we speak. Eomer is loyal to you. His men will return and fight for his king.” Theoden rose from the throne, walking off the dais to stand in the Hall. “They will be 300 leagues from here, by now. Eomer can not help us. I know what it is you want of me, but I will not bring further death to my people. I will not risk open war.” Gandalf rose, concern flashing in his eyes. “Open war is upon you, whether you risk it or not.” Aragorn held Theodens gaze, strongly, even as Gimli lowered his eating knife, his eyes upon the King of Rohan. Even Eowyn, Niece of the King and sister to Eomer, second Marshall of the Rohirrim could not believe the bold exchange on behalf of the ranger. “When last I looked, Theoden, not Aragorn was King of Rohan.” Theoden said coldly. Legolas could not believe his ears and the politics that assailed them. Aragorn was correct, there was little doubt of it. Gandalf was wise and far seeing. How could Theoden fail to see the truth behind the words of his two friends? “Then what is the Kings decision.” Gandalf approached Theoden, leaning upon his staff. Theoden had the look of sorrow in his eyes, his voice calm and steady. “In the morning, we make for the refuge of Helms Deep.” Theoden said, overlooking his assembled guests. aldialdir rolled to his side, tracing his fingers down Orophins naked backside, his breeches falling open against his hip. “I am much eased of my torment.” The Captain groaned seeing the shiver his finger created against his brothers reddened hind. “You have such exceptional skill in the name of my pleasure, dear brother.” Orophin moaned softly as he lay upon his stomach, arching his hips to Haldirs touch. “I fear Rumil will become jealous that he was not here to partake of you.” The Marchwarden turned his eyes to his brother, and lover. Haldir had the exquisite afterglow of intense lovemaking, his eyes sharper and clearer now that the fog of desire had lifted. “Then let Rumil be jealous, though the night is yet young.” Haldir laughed, his finger teasing into the curve of Orophins globes. Orophin moaned once more, arching his hips with renewed vigor. “Will you forgive him, his trespasses, brother?” His face was softly flushing beneath Haldirs teasing fingertip. “I have already forgiven him, for I have not been myself. But Rumil will be along shortly.” Haldir said softly. “I wanted him to fester a bit longer before I take the long patrol from the borders of Caras Galadhon and into the west. It will be a long journey with many companies. A journey our kith have not taken in sometime.” Haldir slid his finger deeply into Orophins tight entrance, hearing his brother gasp with delight. He could feel the heat of his seed still coating those exquisite walls. “The border patrols have brought ill news, then, for our weeks of rest to end?” Orophin groaned, biting his lip as Haldir toyed with him. That was the difference in his voice, a tone he used only when he prepared himself to meet battle. Haldir arched his finger into the entrance he adored and filled, often. Holding the digit deep in that hot pucker with extreme force and pressure. Orophin groaned, his eyes rolling shut, falling with equal power to Haldirs voice. “Yes, a force will amass here in Lorien to send aid to Men of Rohan, our Lads hes held a vision that must be stopped. We shall wear the mark of Glorfindel to represent Imladris but the volunteers will be led beneath me, as their Captain. Our banners will fly high in the sigil of Rivendell and Lorien, once more.” Orophin shivered feeling the hot pressure of Haldirs finger, buried deep within him, rubbing his most delicate spot with control and mastery. “AI, Haldir…the realms unified…Why..did she chose you, beautiful brother?” Haldir slowly rose to his knees, his finger still buried within Orophin. The pressure of his motion sent Orophito sto shivers of pure desire. Haldir sent a second digit into Orophin, hearing him moan against the pillow. The Captain let his lips trail his brothers back, his free hand spreading Orophins hind cheeks to let him view his fingers arching deep within his brother. “I am her Captain. I volunteered. You and Rumil will not be going.” He moaned softly, watching the way Orophins well used entrance accepted him so eagerly. “Brother…” Orophin moaned, arching his hips back into Haldfingfingers, feeling them press tight against his sensitive prostate, forcing him into whimpers of uncontrolled need. The issue of Haldir leaving without them, forgotten, for the moment. A knock came to Haldirs door and the Eldest Marchwarden heard Rumil creak behind it, stepping into his Talan. “I have come at a bad time.” Rumil smiled darkly, seeing Orophin groaning uncontrollably beneath Haldirs deeply inserted fingers. “Ai, Rumil…he feels so good…” Orophin cried out, seeing his beautiful brother enter Haldirs quarters, his body convulsing as Haldir mercilessly tormented his sensitive pucker. “We will be just a moment.” Haldir said arrogantly, wriggling his fingers deep within his brothers beautiful body as Rumil closed the door. “His need is thick in the air of this room. He is close.” Rumil groaned at the sight, his own desire throbbing and alert, now. “Very close, brother.” Haldir slid a third finger hard intophinphin, watching as his brother bucked wildly, groaning and shivering. “Ai, Haldir…” Orophin cried out. “Your hand, brother, or I will stain your bed!” A moment longer and his desire would coat the very mattress itself! Rumil charged in, lowering himself to his knees beside the bed, slipping his nimble fingers beneath Orophins thrashing hips. Orophin hissed, his body shivering with the new sensation of Rumils hand beneath his swollen shaft. “Brother, I come!” Haldir pumped furiously deep within Orophin. The walls of his beloved brothers entrance tightening against the invasion. “So sweet a taste I will have.” Rumil moaned softly feeling Orophins hot seed splash into his awaiting fingers. Slowly, Haldir released Orophin, falling back on his haunches upon the bed. Orophin groaned, rising backward to avoid trailing the hot seed over his brothers mattress. Standing, Orophin stumbled, grasping his clothing. “I will let you two, sort things out, now. But I will return and will have much to discuss.” He smiled, stepping into his breeches, leaving them untied, his shirt barely covering his melting shaft. “Play nice, my brothers.” Orophin tucked his shirt in, fastening his breeches as he slid out of the Talan, closing the door behind him. “Haldir..” Rumil began even as his brother grasped his wrist, cutting his desire to apologize before it left his lips. “A moment, Rumil.” Haldir drew his brothers hand to his mouth, his hot tongue slowly lapping Orophins seed from Rumils palm. “He tastes as sweet as wine.” Haldir groaned. Rumil bit his lip, the scent and sticky feel of his brothers seed was enticing. Slowly, he lowered his tongue to lap against the side of his hand, his eyes narrowing wantonly. Haldir felt the heat of Rumils mouth close to his and let his attentions shift from the thick sweet seed, to his brothers hot velvet pink tongue. Rumil groaned, his hand sliding up into Haldirs hair, returning the caress of his brothers tongue with his own. Together, the two brothers devoured what remained of Orophins sticky sweet taste and slowly languished upon each other. “You forgive me then, my brother.” Rumil groaned into Haldirs mouth, he had longed for nearly a week to feel is brother once more. “I have..” Haldir teased his brothers tongue, slowly. “I was wrong to deny your love to Legolas, for you do love him, Haldir, it is not merely desire. I see that now.” Rumil whimpered softly as Haldir withdrew. “We will speak no more of this.” Haldir said, looking away for a moment before meeting Rumils gaze. He was not sure what he felt for Legolas and even then, he had no desire to spill his feelings so boldly. “You are much better forgion yon your back, beautiful Rumil. Long have I desired you, as you lay with Orophin and the others.” Rumil rose to the bed, his fingers reclaiming Haldirs hair. “And many nights have I heard you in pleasure and craved the feeling of you within me.” Haldir stripped his brothers garments from his body with expert fingers. Trailing his touch against Rumils shoulders as he pushed his brother down flat upon the bed, reaching for the oils he had used on Orophin. “You are beautiful upon your back.” Haldir groaned, lowering his breeches, lubricating himself and tossing the recapped phial to the floor. Rumil lifted his hips, his desire swollen and weeping. “And you are even more stunning when you are atop me.” “Such flattery, Rumil.” Haldir smiled, darkly as Rumil positioned his calves upon his brothers shoulders. Haldir pressed his crown against his brothers eager entrance. “Your words will go to my head.” He groaned, sliding himself to the hilt within such an exquisite scabbard. “Ai!” Rumil groaned, shivering as Haldir joined them. “None can take me as you, brother…yes…just like that…” Haldir was holding back… Haldir grasped Rumil close to him, his hips working in hard, deep thrusts into such a tight and welcoming entrance. “Rumil, how good you feel, by the Valar!” Rumil arched in counter thrust to Haldir, driving his brother over the edge of desire. “You are holding back…brother, mine.” Haldir narrowed his eyes. Rumil picked up with Orophin had not. “Do I not please you…” He groaned, his body shivering with waves of pleasure. “Call his name…” Rumil groaned, knowing what Haldir wanted. “I will be him, for you…to receive you as he has received you…” “No, I can not.” Haldir slowed his pace, moaning. Rumil felt amazing beneath him, like every time before. Rumil arched, feeling Haldir nearly disjoin them. “Close your eyes, Haldir…” Haldir bit his lip softly, doing as his brother asked. The Captain saw only Legolas in the dark of his lids. Rumil rolled to his stomach, arching his hips to feel Haldirs crown now resting against his entrance. With a violent thrust that brought Rumil nearly to his knees, he cried out, sending Haldir once more, deep within his core. His brother had a soft almost devious smile cresting his lips and he knew of whom Haldir was thinking. “Legolas…” Haldir moaned the Princes’ name as a scant whisper to the Valar, increasing his pace with brutal force. He leaned over his lover, applying exquisite pressure to feel the hot flat sensitive spot at the base of the prostate, sending Rumil toppling against the edge of sanity. Rumil bit his lip at the increased force, a frenzy he had never tasted in all the nights he had laid with Haldir…so brutal and yet so tender. Haldir was more eager to please than his brother had ever before known. “Yes, Legolas, how you take me…Ai, Valar…” Haldir groaned louder now, his hand wrapping around his lovers length, palming it hard with a strict up and down motion. Haldir saw only Legolas, the beautiful face of his prince was flushed in rapture, his eyes clouded with desire, his hair glittering like pure sunlight. Rumil groaned, his nails clawing into the bed, writhing into his brothers touch swearing he would lose himself in a single thrust of his brothers length if this pace continued. Haldir felt the convulsions of his lovers entrance, tightening about him to a near strangle hold. “Ai, my love yes…yes…meleth…Come for me, call my name to the Havens!” Rumil heard Haldirs words and smiled to himself even as he gasped with his next breath. Haldir would never admit he had said it…but he had. Biting his lip, Rumil kept from crying out, arching wildly into his brothers merciless hips and hand. Haldir groaned, his free hand taking his lover by the hair. “Come with me, Legolas, now…Ai, Eleberth, now!” Hot splashes of thick seed spilled deep into his lovers body…and just then Haldir felt the ribbons splash his hand. “Ai, Haldir.” Rumil finally groaned, panting like a wild beast. Haldir came back to his senses now, slowly disjoining his body from his brothers. A look of awe was held in his eyes, for a moment, he believed with all his fury it had truly been Legolas beneath him.. Rumil rolled over, reaching for a the towels Haldir always kept beside the bed when he intended to have company. Wiping his hand clean of his seed, he saw the pale look in his brothers eyes. “Haldir?” “You should not have asked me to do that, Rumil.” He said, turning away. “I was not here with you, my brother. I am sorry.” Rumil leaned forward with a slight wince, placing his hand on Haldirs shoulder. “There is no shame between us and never has been, my brother. Look at me.” Haldir refused, turning his face away from Rumil. But Rumil would not accept his answer, taking his hand beneath Haldirs chin and forcing him to meet his gaze. “You have a look of sadness in your face, brother. Did the game not please you?” Haldir kissed Rumils hand softly, looking to him as he fought to feign a smile. “It did please me, but as always it is you and Orophin that please me most. We must never fight again, my brother. I can not go this long without the feel of your body, let alone the sound of your voice.” Rumil smiled, seeing Haldir was only holding himself this way to make him forget that he was in anguish. “It will never happen again, Haldir. By the Valar, I swear it.” With perfect timing, Orophin returned, not bothering to knock with the hope of catching Haldir and Rumil engaged. “Damn the Graces, I am back later than I wished.” Rumil laughed, laying back on the bed as Haldir rose, sliding his robes from the closet. “Welcome back, Orophin. It is a shame you did not join us a few moments sooner, it would have been delightful to have my brothers with me the night before I depart to take the Battalion to Rohan.” Rumil looked to Orophin even as Haldir slipped his Galadhrim robe over his form. “So it will be you to lead them as Captain?” Orophin entered the room, sitting down beside Rumil, resting his head softly on his beautiful brothers’ shoulder. “That is half the reason I returned here tonight, Haldir. There is much left unsaid. Why must you go so soon and what do you mean we can not follow you?” Rumil now looked to Haldir, a flash of anger preparing to lick from his gray blue orbs. “We can not follow you? What madness is this?” Haldir sighed softly, pouring himself a drink. His brothers had gone on every patrol with their battalion, both Rumil and Orophin were highly acclaimed in their skills and exceptionally dedicated to the safety and protection of LothLorien. Within the ranks of Military life, the Marchwardens were highly esteemed and completely professional. The bond the brothers shared was not one displayed once the three were in travel in the name of the Lord and Lady of Light. “Let us not make this an issue, beloved brothers.u aru are both to rem
