Disclaimer: neither the sexy archer nor the dirty ranger are mine, Tolkien owns the lot. Authors Note: Like it? Dislike it? Whatever, go ahead and tell me! Speech is in “..”, thoughts in *..* Chapter 1 Riding along, wildly pursuing a group of Orcs along the river Bruinen leading from Rivendell, Aragorn looked ahead to the shape of his companion on the white steed. Licking his lips at the sight of the Elf’s sexy behind in his line of vision, he drove his horse on until he was riding alongside him, all the while following his movements with greedy eyes, letting them travel up the slender back, over the golden hair cascading down it, until he reached the fair face, presenting him with the profile whilst riding on. Suddenly he looked over, and Aragorn nearly fell off his horse when he saw the lust in those impossibly blue eyes. “Hear me, not only these Orcs are in for it soon,” Legolas called over to him, trying to make himself heard over the racket of the stomping ahead and their stallion’s galloping, “I will not even grant you the time to get off your horse if you do not hurry up a bit!” Aragorn opened his mouth for an answer, but as he saw the look on the Elf’s face he shut it again, and smiled at the next sentence his companion called to him. “Come on, I do not wish to wait a minute longer!” Legolas cried, and pressed his steed further over the knoll ahead, notching an arrow to his bow when reaching the top. With swift hands he released several arrows, fired with deadly precision, causing a wave of terror to pass through the Orcs. Aragorn caught up with the ongoing battle just as Legolas leapt to the ground to continue in close combat. The man hurried up to him, and drew his sword slaying those foul creatures while making his way towards his Elf. When finally the ground around them was littered with corpses, he stopped to clean the blood off his sword, when out of the corner of his eye, he saw a shape charging at him. Suddenly fearing they missed one, he turned to fend off the raid, but before he could raise his sword to his defense he was hit with such a force that he fell back, his attacker landing on him. His breath was pushed out of his lungs, and he felt hands pinning his arms to the ground beside his head. Feeling those familiar hands he at once realized the creature atop him was everything but an Orc, too light and well-smelling and, when he opened his eyes, he saw his Elf looking irresistibly down at him under his long lashes. “I told you I would come for you when this is over,” Legolas said, an alluring smile on his lips. “Could I guess you meant it so literally?” Aragorn asked, justifying his resistance. “Are you complaining?” the Elf asked, his smile widening. “I think I have just proved satisfactorily that I am absolutely capable of handling you, even without your agreement.” Still holding the ranger’s arms down, Legolas leaned in and claimed his lips in a hot kiss, deliberately pressing his entire body against the man underneath him, letting him feel every inch of his growing arousal. Although he could not move his arms, or any other part of his body for that matter, Aragorn felt absolutely comfortable in that position he felt himself trapped in. His Elf was not too heavy to enable him from breathing – that was rather caused by the sensation of his soft lips massaging his, and the feeling of the hardness rubbing against his thigh, exciting his own in return. When Legolas pulled back he offered such an enchanting sight, that Aragorn felt that was enough to finally undo him – his trousers so tight over his straining arousal they seemed near ripping apart. But while he indulged in that sight before him, the nimble archer’s fingers had not been idle, and before he knew it, he was naked to the waist, his tunic opened and thrown aside carelessly with Legolas straddling his hips. Realizing that his arms were free, he reached up to get rid of the Elf’s garments as well, while ever feeling their throbbing desires rubbing against the other. From his position on his back he seemed to take ages to unlace Legolas’ tunic, whereas the Elf was more successful in ridding him from his restraining trousers, and pulled them down completely, taking his shoes along in the process. The Elf stood for a moment at the feet of his lover, regarding his naked form, and cast his half-opened tunic aside before kneeling down between the ranger’s legs. He ran his hands slowly up along the calves and knees over the inner thighs, bringing soft moans from his lover, and traced his fingers over the pelvic bone to pause on the hips, gently holding on to them while closing his eager mouth over the thick shaft straining upwards, already leaking somewhat from the tip. Aragorn could not help but call out at the sensation Legolas’ warm mouth inspired with him, the impossible softness of his lips and the rhythmical sucking leaving him wreathing helplessly on the ground. He reached his hands out for the golden head of his lover, who maintained his efforts until Aragorn felt his release coming, and arched his back, pushing further into the Elf’s mouth. Legolas closed his eyes, listening to Aragorn cry out his name, taking him in as far as possible and waiting for him to reach his peak. Then a wave shook his lovers’ body, and hot seed filled the Elf’s mouth, who swallowed quickly not wanting any to spill to waste. Panting, Aragorn stroked the Elf’s head tenderly, before his relaxing cock was released and Legolas rose and stretched his back like a cat. Lovingly Aragorn watched the beauty before him strip out of his leggings, letting his Elfhood spring forth in all its glory. Legolas looked down at the man, sweat covered his body and his greedy eyes travelling all over his body, coming to rest on his arousal. Smiling wickedly, he let his hands wander along his smooth chest, taking hold of himself and stroking gently up and down the swelling length. “Do you think you can handle all of this?” he whispered softly. The man’s eyes widened with longing, and he spread his legs seductively. “I can do far better than that for you, my fair one.” “You will have trouble walking home when I am finished with you,” Legolas smiled. “If you are so sure of yourself, come and prove it!” Aragorn lifted his hips from the ground rapidly in an unmistakable gesture, and the Elf closed the distance between them in two quick steps, and reclaimed his position between the ranger’s legs. Resting his weight on his arms Legolas moved his body further down along the tanned torso of the man underneath him, but pausing, said, “Wait, let me fetch some oil first–“ Aragorn rolled his eyes. “Legolas, forget about the oil.” He then took hold of Legolas’ hands, feeling the need of the Elf’s prick inside him without wanting to wait for preparation with his fingers. Getting the hint, Legolas lowered himself until the tip of his arousal touched the soft entrance at the ranger’s lower back, who in return let go of his hands to move his fingers over his lover’s shoulders, until his arms crossed behind his neck, pressing their bodies together. The man was beginning to harden again, and raised his hips upwards to let the Elf feel it too, not only rubbing his swelling cock against Legolas’ stomach, but simultaneously pressing his opening closer onto the lingering shaft before it. Legolas locked their lips in a kiss, entering the ranger’s mouth with his tongue simultaneously with pushing into him with a single, slow move, and he let out a sigh of pleasure when feeling such unbearable tightness. Aragorn groaned at the sudden pain emerging through his body from that move, and again, as the Elf pulled back shortly after. Afresh, Legolas pushed forward, agonizingly slow, but this time touching that special spot, causing Aragorn to cry out loud and strain for his lover’s touch. Taking up a slow pace, Legolas moved in and out of his lover, making contact to Aragorn’s love spot with every thrust, then reached between them to take hold of his growing erection, and began stroking him synchronously with their movements. “By the Valar, Legolas,” Aragorn panted, completely losing it, finding double pleasure in the hands of his Elf. Hearing that, Legolas increased their speed, thrusting more wildly into Aragorn until he felt his ejaculation on his hand and stomach, and finding his own release shortly afterwards in his lover. Unsheathing his member, he rolled off Aragorn and knelt down beside him, soothingly stroking along his chest and hairy stomach. “Turn over, my love.” Aragorn looked up, wide-eyed, “You cannot possibly –“ “I merely want to examine whether I have caused you too much damage, that’s all.” “I assure you, everything if just fine with me,” the man retorted, but Legolas arched an eyebrow, and said, “I would you left such judgement to me.” Aragorn laughed, sat up and stroked Legolas’ cheek gently, “Be iest lîn.” He kissed his lips lightly, then turned and went down on hands and knees in front of him, presenting him with his backside, silently urging him to begin his examinations by giving a short sexy wiggle. Legolas softly ran his fingers along the curved shapes, and traced the cleavage between his cheeks until he reached the entrance he had penetrated just a moment before. His keen Elven eyes could make out no too grave injury, or at least none visible on the outside. Nevertheless he was enthralled by the sight, and leaned forward to let his tongue retrace the trail his fingers had taken. Aragorn jerked forward at this unknown feeling, completely taken aback. “Legolas, what the hell-?” “Was that so bad?” he replied lightly. “Bad? No, but-” “Then leave me to it, would you?” Legolas held a firm grip on Aragorns hips, and pulled him back towards him to continue this recently found pleasure, gingerly probing with his tongue around the tight circle of muscle. Aragorn did not flinch away this time, but closed his eyes to this new feeling, utterly different to the prior entering, even gentler as any finger could be in preparing him – but suddenly the Elf stopped. Chapter 2 “Legolas?” the ranger whispered, and turning his head back, he saw his Elf kneeling behind him, hands still on his hips, but otherwise completely rigid. “Orcs.” The Elf spat the word out in disgust before he leapt to his feet to pick up his clothing. Aragorn followed suit, cursing at the interruption and trying to rid his mind of any disturbing thoughts of their recent actions while getting dressed. “Where are they? And how many?” he asked, searching for his boots amongst the dead bodies. “I hear 29, still near on two leagues away, though heading in our direction rapidly.” Having dressed swiftly, Legolas collected some arrows from the corpses to refill his quiver, then called softly for their horses, which trotted up to them some moments later. Carefully they led the way back from whence they came earlier that day, to meet the Orcs in a less open space and before they could see their fallen comrades and thus catching them somewhat unprepared. Entering a small gathering of trees they sent their horses away again and took up observation posts in the treetops. They did not have to wait much longer till Aragorn could also make out the sounds of many feet stomping along in a rush. Exchanging glances they silently agreed in beginning their ambush, and jumped down mere steps away from the leader of the pack. The huge Orc was so surprised with seeing the two of them fall from the skies, that he stopped dead in his tracks, sending those immediately behind him to land in a messy heap on the forest floor. The two hunters did not let that golden opportunity slip, and started their attack, sending limbs and heads falling to the ground, causing even more hubbub amongst their opponents. The Orcs fiercely tried to win on them, and though at first highly surpassing them in numbers, they stood not a chance and fell one after the other under skillfully executed blows of the sword and swift hands leading bow and arrow with deadly precision. Nearing the end however, Aragorn found himself fighting a very able adversary, and did his best to get rid of him while dodging the ferocious blows swung at him. Just as another particularly foul looking Orc ran towards him to strike out with his scimitar at Aragorn’s unguarded back, Legolas reached back for an arrow to come to the aid of his friend and lover. Crying out in dismay, he noticed that he had used the entire contents of his quiver, and he let the now useless bow fall to the ground. Deftly unsheathing his daggers he sped towards the remaining fighters, and pushing himself between Aragorn and the Orc, he cut his throat with one mighty slash, but in a last helpless effort the Orc raised his weapon and slit deep into Legolas’ thigh. At the same time Aragorn dealt his opponent the final coup- de-grace, and turned to face his friend. Horrified, his gaze fell upon the gaping wound on the Elf’s leg, and he stepped up to him, absolutely irate at seeing this wonderful creature hurt. “Who did that?” he barked, looking around furiously. “He is dead, calm yourself,” the Elf answered, while letting his eyes wander around the floor for any signs of life amongst their foes. “And how am I to do that?” Aragorn cried, “You’re hurt, bleeding like a skewered boar!” Legolas looked up quickly at that last remark. “Thank you for that charming comparison, Aragorn. But, barring the poor state of my trousers I am fine, just as this one here is not.” At that, he pointed to the Orc at his feet. “So it was him, then?” Aragorn spat, taking two large strides towards him and raising his sword above his head ready to strike. Quickly grabbing Aragorn’s arm, Legolas cried, “Aragorn! What are you doing? He is dead, don’t you see? What is the matter with you?” “Why me, what’s the matter with you?” the man shouted, slowly beginning to shake all over and letting his sword drop to the ground. Legolas still held on to his arm, but remained silent, while looking at him intently, trying to remember having seen his lover so enraged before. Seeing him shake, he drew the man into an embrace, and feeling strong arms close around him tightly, realization slowly dawned on him. Aragorn shut his eyes, and softly sighed while regaining his composure, feeling relief rush through him that the blow his Elf took was not fatal. “You could have been killed-“ he began. “You need not worry, my love,” Legolas whispered, stroking his back soothingly, “For I was not.” “Aye, but-” He was yet again interrupted by his Elf, saying, “Do not trouble yourself with what could have been.” Aragorn sighed once more, and drew his face back along Legolas’ soft cheek, to bring their lips together in a soft kiss. “Come then, and let me tend to your wound, before you loose too much blood.” he said, and then tore the seam off his tunic to bind it around Legolas’ thigh. Gently stroking over it when finished, Aragorn said, “Let’s go home.” Chapter 3 When they reached Rivendell some hours later, they at once sent a servant for Elrond to inspect the wound and determine the best treatment for it. Aragorn supported the wounded Elf on the way to his chambers, to help him undress for Elronds examination. But on entering the room, Legolas proved he had other plans for the moment, and pushed Aragorn against the door, shutting it in the process. Kissing him passionately, Legolas banned all thoughts of the throbbing pain in his leg from his mind, and the man sighed at the sudden feeling of being trapped between the hard wooden door and the soft body of his lover. Letting his hands wander to his Elf’s waist, he stroked up over his chest and reached for the front of his tunic. Unfastening the lacings he peeled the garment off the Elf's body while letting their tongues battle in sweet combat. Feeling around the broad shoulders of his lover, Legolas sighed softly as he felt callused fingers stroke over his stomach underneath the shirt, and as those hands suddenly tightened their grip to change their positions leaving him leaning against the door, he had to break their kiss to draw breath. Equally out of breath, Aragorn ceased to run his hands along Legolas’ taut stomach to take hold of the seam of the shirt, pulling it over the Elf's head, leaving him bare- chested and absolutely irresistible. Bending down, he kissed a path down the shapely neck, and over his smooth chest, until he reached the top of his leggings. Resting his head on the door behind him, Legolas savored Aragorns touch, and as the man carefully removed the bandage from around his thigh, he was utterly distracted with other thoughts he did not feel even the slightest twinge coming from the wound. Kneeling on the floor before him, Aragorn brought his face close to the clearly visible bulge in the trousers, and rubbing his face against it, he felt the throbbing through the soft garment. Slowly he pulled the trousers down over the growing Elfhood, and, very cautiously, over the wound, which had stopped bleeding, but looked deep and excruciating. Legolas slipped out of his boots, and stood for a while completely naked in front of his lover, who let his eyes wander up and down his body in awe, wondering how he could possibly bear the pains of such a wound without the slightest difficulty. Smiling, the Elf stepped to the hat stand and reached for the dressing gown hanging from it, and closing it around himself he saw Aragorn’s face fall. “Elrond,” he said, winking, “he is in the hallway outside.” Sighing, the man rose from the floor, “He has chosen a very untimely moment, if you ask me.” “Aye, but we could continue this as soon as he has left us again,” Legolas whispered, and moving towards him, opened his dressing gown and closed his arms around the ranger, covering him with the soft material and bringing their bodies in contact. “Can you wait that long, my love?” “Legolas, you know I cannot refuse you anything. And refusing such an offer would be folly,” Aragorn answered, trailing his fingers over the impossibly soft skin of his lover’s middle. The Elf smiled, and leaned in to kiss Aragorn, but at a short knock on the door, Aragorn quickly pulled back from their embrace, not wanting Elrond to see them in such a position. Legolas raised an eyebrow at the sudden distress in the face of his lover, and closed the dressing gown, eyeing him closely. The man looked at him rather helplessly, and let his hands follow the Elf’s, stroking the garment closed. As Elrond entered the room with a small bottle of ointment, he saw his son aiding his friend getting dressed, and could not help but smile at the two of them. They went out on so many missions together, and took so much care of each other that they reminded him of his twin sons, Elladan and Elrohir, like brothers, heedless of race or age. “How do you feel, Legolas? The wound has not become infected, hopefully?” he asked. “No, I believe it has not. At least it does not hurt,” the fair Elf answered, truly not feeling the pain created by the wound for the distractions of late. “I bet it does,” Aragorn put in, trying to divert his lover’s attention to something else apart from himself, “You just don't want to say so. It looks awful by all means.” “I know someone else who does too,” Legolas answered, glancing at him meaningfully, not responding to the man’s efforts, and still wondering why he had acted so abrasive. Aragorn shrank back, and tried to look as if the Elf could not possibly be referring to him, despite all the blood and muck on his tunic, face, hands, etc. “Well, let me have a look at it,” Elrond said, interrupting their squabbling. *Honestly, just like Elladan and Elrohir*, he thought. Legolas hitched up the dressing gown, revealing a slender leg, immaculate but for the big slash on his thigh, and Elrond motioned for him to take a seat while he opened the bottle in his hands. “This is Athelas essence, and should aid you in recuperating quickly.” The Lord of Rivendell sat down on the edge of the bed next to Legolas, poured some of the fluid onto his hands and precautiously spread it over the wound. Aragorn kept a close look on the procedure, ready to dart at his father should he notice even the smallest whince from his Elf, very much wanting to do the rubbing in himself, especially as he felt he should make up for his recent behavior. Raising from the bed, Elrond said, “I shall see how your leg is in the morning, Legolas. Now you should rest.” He stepped towards Aragorn and laid a hand on his arm. “Come on, son. Let him get some sleep.” To his horror the man felt himself being led towards the door by his father, who bid Legolas a good night. Too surprised to utter a single word, he looked at his Elf pleadingly, and the gazes of the two lovers met in understanding that needed no words. *********************************************************** **************** As soon as he was in the hallway with Elrond, Aragorn forced himself to a jaw-splitting yawn. Smiling, Elrond said, “By the looks of things, you are not really awake, either. Perhaps you should match with your friend's evening arrangements?” Trying hard not to laugh at the very fitting choice of words, he replied, “That sounds like a really good idea to me. Good night, father.” *********************************************************** **************** After father and son had left, Legolas remained seated on the bed, pondering the strange demeanor of his lover. *He cannot, surely, dread Lord Elrond’s reaction to our relationship,* he thought, *Maybe he was just surprised by the abrupt knock on the door? Alas, I will have to ask him later.* He let the dressing gown slip to the floor, and realizing that he would not find any reasonable explanation he put the matter off for the time being, and turned to lay himself in the middle of the large bed. Folding his arms behind his head he listened closely for steps outside his door, and only minutes later he heard a familiar footfall drawing near. *********************************************************** **************** After saying good night to Elrond Aragorn turned and made for the direction of his own room, but stopped around the next corner. Listening whether his father was still in the hallway, or any other Elf for that matter, he remained still for a while. As he was not able to make out any sound, he retraced his steps back to Legolas' chambers. Soundlessly he opened the door, and closed it likewise, finally directing his attention to the happenings inside the room. Before him on the floor lay the dressing gown Legolas had worn, and letting his eyes wander, he saw his beautiful Elf on the bed, completely nude, arms above his head, and his head stretched back exposing the exquisite shape of his neck. Lazily Legolas turned his head, followed by his entire body until he lay on his side, propped up on one arm. The other he rested on his hip, and seductively stroked along it towards his leg. “You truly offer an enchanting sight,” Aragorn breathed, moving closer to the bed and throwing his tunic on the floor. Legolas smiled, and whispered back, “Under other circumstances I would too gladly return that compliment to you, though I fear ‘dirty’ does you better justice in your present state.” The man fingered with the lacings on his undershirt, and sighed, “Have you ever heard of turn-offs, my dear Elf? Complaining about your lover's hygienic condition is surely one.” “A bad stench is another. For you, my love, are attacking my delicate sense of smell.” Aragorn stopped his moving closer, not believing what his ears registered. “Is this a jest?” “Nay, ‘tis not. I merely wish for my bed to remain clean now I have the luxury of lying in one,” Legolas said, and pointed to a wash basin on the bedside table. "You will find all you need just over there." The really very dirty ranger stepped around the bed, not taking his eyes off the Elf, who followed his every move while turning around on his other side not to miss anything. Aragorn flung his shirt into a corner and approached the basin, just as Legolas interrupted him. “Would you kindly hand me over some wine ere getting yourself wet?” Astonished, the man paused in his movement, and turned to face the bed, perplexed bursting out, “Will you not wait for me to finish?” “In your filthy state that can take ages,” the Elf returned, and sighing, sunk back into the pillows, casting his eyes up towards the ceiling. Incredulously shaking his head at such openly displayed insolence, Aragorn reached for one of two large bottles on the table next to him, and filled a glass with the dark red liquid. Legolas remained motionless, paying no heed to his lover beside him, until a glass was held in his line of vision. “Here you are,” Aragorn said, and the Elf honored him with one of his most dashing smiles. “I thank you, my love,” he said, and holding his gaze, took a long draught from it. Smiling back at him, Aragorn returned to the basin, and quickly splashed water into his face. Scrubbing away down his neck and shoulders, he noticed the water turning a rather dirty brown, and he wondered why he was always the one ending in such a mess. Reaching for a towel, he turned towards his lover, and could not miss the empty glass in his hand. “You must have been very thirty, my fair one,” he said, smiling, while drying himself. Legolas looked at the glass, to his amazement honestly quite empty. He stifled a yawn, even more amazed at himself, but did not stop to ponder that riddle further, and set the glass aside, watching the man before him rubbing the wetness off himself. Aragorn threw the towel back over his shoulder sending it to land in the basin. “Satisfied?” The Elf looked him up and down, and nodded in agreement. “Very good. You should consider having a wash more often, those layers of dirt hide too much of your alluring body.” Intending to smile, he felt a yawn coming, and just managed to suppress it, cursing at himself, and not understanding his unusual behavior. “Then you no longer fear me soiling your bed clothes?” the man asked, settling down on the bed, moving his face close to the Elf's. “At the least not by some foul Orc blood sticking onto you- ” he started, but interrupted himself by yawning yet again. Aragorn pulled back in bewilderment, not remembering ever have seen his Elf yawn before, not even in endless days of battle or pursue. “What is the matter? Are you bored?” Suddenly it dawned on Legolas, and he asked, “Aragorn, from which bottle did you pour this wine?” “Why, the large one with the handle,” he replied, not understanding what the wine had to do with his peculiar demeanor. After another yawn, he said, “That, my love, is a sleeping potion. The other holds the wine.” “A sleeping potion?” Aragorn parroted, quite shocked. “How could you not notice? I mean, it surely does not taste like wine?” “Aye, it does. It is a special one, brewed by your father, as the usual potions have such a bitter taste to them,” the Elf answered, and after yawning yet again, “I am sorry. After all that trouble you went through with your bath-” The man sighed, and lent back into the pillows. It was his own doings, so no good would come from complaining, but just the same he wondered at the remoteness of the usual Elven prudence in such an act, placing identical-smelling and identical-looking liquids unlabelled next to the other. Legolas had finally fallen asleep, and lay breathing evenly beside him, with his eyes unfocused and his lips slightly parted. Aragorn kissed him tenderly, astonished at savoring wine, the taste still lingering on his lover’s lips. The man contemplated whether he should pour himself a glass, but decided instead to rather watch the sleeping beauty for a while. Draping the sheet over both of them, he put his arm around him, and sighed happily as Legolas snuggled up close to his chest, after their sudden interruption nevertheless happy for his unbelievable luck to call this wonderful Elf his own. Chapter 4 Waking in the morning, Aragorn found his Elf laying close beside him, his arm resting across his abdomen, gently playing with the hair on his chest. “How long have you been awake?” he asked sleepily. Legolas smiled, and petted the man’s well-muscled stomach. “A while.” “And you just watched me sleeping?” “Yes.” Although the ranger had known the answer to his question, he had nonetheless expected Legolas to negate it, even if in playful denial, and was somewhat surprised by his honest response. Searching in his eyes for some sign of a jest, he only found himself falling deeper for his Elf, and he turned to his side and hugged him close. Burying his face in the magnificently golden hair, he took in his fragrance while Legolas, relishing the tender touch of the man, closed his eyes, and returned the embrace. Feeling his Elf’s body press against his, Aragorn remembered that although he was still wearing his trousers, Legolas was completely nude, and he let his hands stroke downwards to take advantage of the situation. Pushing him back, the man came to rest atop of Legolas, and looking him deep in the eyes, he said, “I feel hungry this morn’. And, what’s more, I feel like Elf.” “Do you indeed? Then we should best see what we can do for you, shall we?” Legolas breathed, looking up at him under his long lashes. Aragorn kissed him gently while letting his hands roam over his torso down his sides, nibbling along the Elf’s jawbone and over his throat onto his chest. Moving further downwards, he stroked over the slender legs, and looked close to where the wound had been the day before. Now the skin showed no traces of any harm, and he kissed it tenderly, before guiding his attention to Legolas’ cock, looking absolutely appealing. Firmly massaging Aragorn’s broad shoulders, Legolas asked, a playful smirk on his lips, “Is today’s offer to your liking?” “Aye, ‘tis indeed.” he said, looking up at his Elf, “You honestly look appetizing.” He closed one hand around the shaft, and began stroking it slowly, then lowering his head, licked around the tip. Tracing along the length with his tongue, he enjoyed the sight of it swelling with every caress, and then took him fully into his mouth until he felt him push against the back of his throat. Closing his eyes, Legolas let his head fall back at the feeling of his lover’s stimulation, alternately licking, and scraping his teeth along his member. Feeling Legolas’ hands tighten their hold on his shoulders while sucking him harder, the man slowly traced his lips over the tip, releasing him, and blowing gently over the straining hardness. The Elf arched his back in delight and sighed loudly, his hands gripping even harder at Aragorn’s shoulders, “Ai, Aragorn!” Wincing slightly at the pain in his shoulders, he wondered yet again how his Elf managed to bring forth such strength with his slim body, and let his tongue probe at the opening of his prick, causing Legolas only to thrust around under him more wildly. “Aragorn!” he cried, pushing himself further off the bed, longing for release and feeling the blood pulse through his cock so quickly, he feared he would pass out ere that moment. Seeing his Elf in such agonizing pleasure, he continued his efforts to satisfy him fully, and took him as far into his mouth as possible, burying his face in his golden pubic hair. Finally Legolas reached his peak, and filled the ranger’s mouth with a wave of his semen, while bucking around under him and crying, “Aragorn! Ai, Aragorn!” Aragorn savored the taste of sweetness his Elf shot down his throat, and letting go of his member licked his lips, looking up to see Legolas laying on his back, breathing heavily, at last freeing the man’s shoulders from his grasp. “I think I could do with another feed of you later,” he said, smiling, and pushed himself upwards over the Elf, nuzzling his neck when their faces reached the same height. Legolas closed his arms over the back of the ranger, when there was a short knock on the door. They looked at each other in astonishment, and Aragorn slipped off him, hastily draping the sheet over them, while Legolas bid the one outside the room to come in. At that, a servant poked his head into the room. “Good morning Legolas. Aragorn.” He said, bowing, either not in the least surprised to find the two of them together, or just not showing it. “Would you like me to prepare a bath for you?” Aragorn groaned inwardly at the question, but Legolas’ face lit up. “Aye, I would highly appreciate that, thank you very much.” “Very well. It will be ready for you in the bathing chamber in 10 minutes.” Again, the servant bowed, and then closed the door. “Come on, this will be fun,” Legolas said, sitting up and patting the ranger’s hand to get him moving. Jumping out of bed, he flitted around the room in search of his dressing gown he had thrown somewhere on the floor last night. Aragorn slumped back into the pillows, but seeing no way out of his third bath in two days, got up also. He did not bother putting on anything else, seeing as their destination was mere steps down the corridor, and followed the Elf only wearing his trousers. At the end of the hallway they saw four Elves filing out of a room with steam billowing out behind them. They greeted them and bowed their heads lightly, unsure which of them bore the more enchanting sight – the fair Elven prince in his soft dressing gown ending just underneath his knees, or Elrond’s son, strutting around in the half-nude. They smiled back at the servants and entered the bathing chamber, a bright room with a large tub let into the floor in the center, steam rising from the water. They could not see, but knew from prior usage, that there were four seats along the side of the tub, to enable them to sit without trouble as the water was rather deep. The wall opposite the door was a big window, with a view of the gardens and soft curtains covering them. On a ledge around one side of the tub were various bottles with lotions and herbs for greater bathing pleasure, and big fluffy towels were laid ready for them on stools beside it. Legolas hung his dressing gown over a rack in the shape of a tree branch on the wall and swiftly lowered himself into the water, moving to the far side, facing Aragorn. “My love, be honest. Are you aquaphobic?” he asked, winking. Rolling his eyes, the man stripped off his trousers and sat down on the edge of the tub before slipping into the water and settling against the side opposite his friend. At once he felt his decision proper, for the water was hot, but not painfully so, and the herbs in it made it soft and the scent led him to believe they soothed his very soul. Resting his head on the rim he indulged the peacefulness he felt, and for a while they both sat soaking quietly. When he opened his eyes, he saw Legolas undoing his braids with nimble fingers. He ducked under, and resurfacing stroked back his wet hair out of his face. He then reached for a flask of shampoo, and following a sudden inspiration, Aragorn said, “Let me do that for you.” Raising an eyebrow, the Elf looked at him. “Very well, if you insist.” Legolas moved over to him, and taking the bottle, the man kissed him quickly. “Aye, I do.” He then poured a fair amount of the well-smelling liquid onto his palm, set the flask aside and rubbed his hands together before he brought them to the sides of the Elf’s head. Softly massaging around his scalp, he let his fingers feel the silky texture of the hair, careful that no soap could run into his eyes. Smiling at the concentrated look on the man’s handsome face, Legolas stepped close to him and kissed him, softly at first, but then more vehemently. He reached around Aragorn’s middle and stroked slowly up and down his back, and searching for the man’s tongue with his own, sucked on it like his cock had been treated somewhat earlier. Aragorn did his best to maintain his shampooing, but Legolas obviously had assigned other priorities, and feeling the arousing Elfhood pressing against his thigh, he moved his hands downwards to take hold of the firm Elven buttocks, squeezing the cheeks gently. Legolas sighed as he felt fingers probing along his backside, and knew, possibly even before his partner did, what he intended to do next. Breaking their kiss, he slipped down and submerged into the water, rubbing his chest and face against the man’s body on the way down to bring his face on the same level with Aragorn’s lower regions. At first the man wanted to protest that he was abandoned so suddenly, but then he felt his prick being enclosed by the Elf’s mouth, and breathed in sharply, wondering how in the name of Elbereth he managed to breathe and suck, and undoubtedly wash the soap out of his hair all at the same time. Emerging to take a breath, Legolas stroked his hair back out of his face, indeed having rid of the soap. He smiled at the man, and kissed him, letting Aragorn taste himself on his lips. The man embraced Legolas, pressing their arousals together and moved his hands over his shoulders, and his hair, which, quite unbelievably, felt even softer than before. Slowly leading the Elf backwards until his back leant against the wall of the tub he let his hands move further downwards to take hold of Legolas’ legs behind the knees. Resting his arms on the rim of the tub, Legolas let Aragorn lift his legs upwards and crossed them behind his back, the man breaking the kiss while feeling with his fingers in the cleft in his buttocks. As the man pushed a finger into the Elf’s tight opening, Legolas sighed, closing his eyes shortly at the feeling. Inserting another finger, Aragorn asked, “How now? Would you like some more?” “Aye, more,” the Elf breathed, and feeling yet another finger probing inside him, called out for him, “Aragorn!” Taking back his hand, he laid both on the Elf’s hips, and pulled him towards himself and down onto his erect penis. Entering his Elf, he felt it even hotter inside him than in the steaming water, and could not restrain himself so much as to handle him carefully. Wildly he thrust into him, moaning loudly and holding his hips firmly in place. At the first thrust Legolas breathed in sharply, the pain surging trough his body on the verge of insufferableness, most obviously unperceived by his lover, yet not doomed to stay that way. Reaching in between their bodies he awaited the next outwards movement, firmly took hold of Aragorn’s prick, and pulled him so far out of himself to only let the very tip remain inside his opening. Surprised, Aragorn looked up to see his Elf frowning at him, “Legolas, what-” he started, his horniness giving his voice a husky edge. Hearing the need in his voice, Legolas felt somewhat guilty for interrupting him, but nevertheless he exerted more pressure on the cock in his hand, to clarify he did not agree with his selfish actions and whispered, “You tell me.” “Legolas, you-” he began again, realizing quickly what drove his Elf to those actions, but nevertheless felt the hand around him tighten some more. “No, not I. You.” “Please, Legolas,” he mouthed, feeling his cock growing even harder despite the pain. The Elf loosened his grip somewhat, the throbbing member in his backside and his hand granting him such great pleasure that his own cock became impossibly thick in the process. He brought his lips to Aragorn’s, kissing him so softly the man barely felt the touch. “So that hurt, did it?” he whispered. Aragorn looked into those incredibly blue eyes, knowing why he had been interrupted, and to make up for it, returned the kiss, and let his hands move slowly from the Elf’s hips over his sides up to his chest. Legolas sighed and leaned into his touch as Aragorn rubbed with his thumbs over the nipples, and he gently stroked the straining erection in his hand in return. Letting go of one hardening nub, the man put his hand over the Elf’s, and gently opened the fingers, and as Legolas did not put up any resistance, pushed carefully further into the opening, the slow movement and tightness even more delightful than the former touch. Legolas threw his head back in ecstasy as his lover touched his special spot, and resting his weight once again on his arms on the rim of the tub, lifted himself slowly upwards along the man’s shaft. Moving his hands back to the Elf’s hips, Aragorn pulled him down again, their rhythmic movements gradually increasing, leaving the two of them panting together and crying out the other’s name. Finally the man reached his orgasm, and filling the Elf with his semen, took hold of the hard member pressing against his stomach, stroking it until he felt his release in his hand. Not until then did he pull back out of Legolas, and sinking his forehead against the Elf’s chest, embraced him, feeling muscular arms close around him also. The hands on his back moved upwards, and gently massaged the back of his neck, fingering with his hair falling onto his shoulders. After a while Legolas asked softly, “Would you like me to wash your hair for you now?” Smiling, he retorted, “If you can’t live with the stench, my dear Elf.” “It is not the stench, more the grubby feel-” “I get the message. Cleanse it if you like,” Aragorn said, shaking his head slowly. Chapter 5 Elrond left his rooms for his every-morning wash, and headed towards the bathing chamber on that floor, at that moment still occupied by the two lovers, determining the perfect hair care for the ranger. Lost in thought he reached for the door knob, subconsciously perceiving laughter and splashing, but not connecting it to the room he was about to enter, thus stopping surprised at the sight offered to him. His son Aragorn rested with his back against Legolas, who busily shampooed his hair, obviously having used an entire bottle judging by the proportions of foam piled atop the man’s head, and floating in the water around them. They both looked up, no less astonished as Elrond as he burst in on them, and quite embarrassed, Aragorn wiped some foam out of his face, where he had miraculously grown himself a fluffy white beard. Legolas kept his usual calm, seeing no good in fretting about it, and continued his administrations to his lover’s scalp, massaging on and frothing the soap even higher. “Good morning, Elrond. Did you have a pleasant sleep?” he asked, charming as always. “Good morning, you two. Thank you, Legolas, I did sleep well.” the Elf lord answered, trying not to show his unease at the situation, still standing in the doorway and clasping the door handle. “Father, I believe you wanted something,” Aragorn started, “What can we do for you?” Legolas chuckled softly. “Get out of his bath, for a start.” Elrond lifted his hands in an assuaging gesture, “No, honestly. Take your time-” Realizing that his Elf had guessed perfectly correct, Aragorn called after Elrond, who had made to leave, “Father, please! Wait!” Elrond stopped, and wanted to protest, but was cut off by Legolas. “We will be out of here instantly, as this is your house, after all. I apologize for delaying your bath, but we will see to it that it is readied for you as soon as possible.” The blond Elf raised, and moved around Aragorn to the rim of the tub, intending to pull himself out of the water. Elrond was totally shocked, and tried to dissuade him from that idea, wondering if all Mirkwood Elves were so unreserved, but before he managed to say a word, saw himself facing the nude Elf prince. Legolas reached for one of the towels and began to dry himself off, sensing, though not quite understanding the other Elf’s discomfort, and not bothering to turn away, asked, “Aragorn? Are you coming?” The man’s embarrassment was quickly replaced by an unusual mirth at his father’s unease, which, as unlikely he would have thought at first, seemed to surpass his own by far, and felt queerly obliged to join in the fun his Elf had begun with his unforeseen exposing of himself. “Aye,” he said, “I will be right with you,” and he ducked under to wash away the soap. Then he pulled himself out of the tub, and stepping closer to Legolas as he would have needed to, picked up a towel from a stool beside him. For the moment just holding it without drying himself, he looked at his father to catch the expression on his face, and wondered how his former fear at being caught with his lover had been replaced by this new urge of unearthing the truth. Elrond found he was unable to move as he watched first the Elf and then his son step out into the open before him, uncaring for his being there, or the open door he still stood in. With Legolas he had thought it a queer habit of his woodland kin, but he could not remember Aragorn ever having acted that way before. And although he had seen him naked before, as he was his son in every but the biological sense, that was when he had still been a young child. But now he was fully grown, a handsome and well-muscled man, and, compared to the Elven race, unbelievably hairy. He always looked darker compared to the fair Elves, even in his usual attire, but what was otherwise concealed underneath his clothing now lay bare, showing forearms and legs covered in fine hair, and thus giving the impression of an even darker complexion. The hair on his chest was somewhat thicker, with a thin line trailing down over his stomach to his genitals. All this he observed in a split-second, and shaking off those thoughts, he hoped his facial expression had not betrayed him to the two lovers – as sure as he at first was of them being connected only in a bond of friendship, at seeing them now he felt foolish at not having noticed the obvious before. Quite on the contrary to Aragorn, Legolas did not mean to offend the Lord of Rivendell, and although it was not a common practice in his home realm to run around bare, nobody made a fuss about it, either. But seeing the unsuccessfully cached look on the face before him, changing from surprise to shock, and back again, as Aragorn followed him out of the tub to stand so close beside him they were nearly touching, he pondered how much Elrond had known of their connection subconsciously and never quite admitted to himself. Nevertheless he smiled at his lover’s choice of time for revelation, and his rather crude exhibition of their relationship. “Would you like to join us for some breakfast whilst waiting?” Aragorn asked, finally unfolding the towel, but remaining fully exposed, deliberately beginning to rub-dry his hair. Shaking his head imperceptibly and guiding his attention to the then and there, Elrond said, “I might do that, thank you. I shall let you two finish here and go ahead to the breakfast room.” He quickly stepped into the corridor and shut the door behind him. Leaning against it for a short moment, he let his mind go over the past few minutes, wondering why he never before realized actually how close those two were. There had always been pats on shoulders, hugs and such, but mixed with playful teasing he never had thought their affection going in that direction, although their hands did tend to linger too long sometimes on places they should not... Shaking his head at himself, he left his position at the door, and made for the breakfast room, hoping for no more unexpected surprises. *********************************************************** **************** Legolas languidly dried his back, and smiling turned to face his lover. “I doubt that Elrond could have been more astonished had he come in merely a few moments earlier, thanks to your prudent way of explanation.” Aragorn smiled back at him, “Do not ask me why I did that, I do not seem to be quite myself lately.” “I assure you, physically you are as fit as ever,” said the Elf, and winked, “and as for your mental state, you will be much more at ease now that we will not have to keep up the veil of secrecy.” “You then think it was the right decision to tell him?” “Aye, I do. It will be so much more fun this way,” Legolas answered, and taking his towel at the ends slung it over Aragorn’s head, letting it rest on his middle, and pulled him towards himself. “There are so many places we now can visit, previously interdicted due to the publicly available location.” Aragorn let his towel slip to the floor and laid his hands on the Elf’s hips, running them over the soft skin of his back up to his shoulders until he held him in a tight embrace. He kissed him softly on the lips, and whispered, “You cannot imagine how I am looking forward to that, my love.” Dropping his towel also, Legolas closed his arms around the man, and whispered back, “Aye, believe me, that feeling is mutual.” They kissed again, longer but just as softly, and albeit their former actions Legolas was feeling aroused again, owing to those special Elven qualities. Standing so close together it was impossible for Aragorn to miss his partner’s condition, and he smiled at the impossibly short recovering period as he felt the Elf’s hardening member pressing against his thigh. The man broke their kiss, and looked into those incredibly blue eyes directed at him. “You surely are a glutton, my fair one,” he said, smiling. “Aye, and the object of preference is luckily nigh at hand,” Legolas said, while rubbing his hips seductively against his lover’s, and kissing him again. Aragorn sighed into the Elf’s mouth, and although he felt fairly tired after all their activities at such early hour, he relished the taste and feel of the fair beauty in his arms. Running his arms farther up his back, he touched the wetness of the silken hair, and suddenly remembered the tub. “Do you think the water is still warm?” he breathed while shortly interrupting their kiss. Legolas opened his eyes, a light sparkling in them showing pure delight. “We can soon find out,” he said, and in a swift move, pushed his body quickly against Aragorn, holding firmly onto him. Astonished, Aragorn clung onto him as well, feeling both of them loosing their balance and falling, and opened his mouth to call out. Before he was able to utter a single sound, he felt Legolas’ lips closing over his again, and shortly after, they hit the surface of the water with a loud splash, sending most of the foam, along with a good share of the water flooding the room. Surfacing and gasping for breath, Aragorn was once again reminded of the Elf’s superiority, for Legolas’ breath was not even quickened after their fall, and he ran nimble fingers all over his body, as if to feel every inch of him at once. The Elf’s lips had found a way to one of his nipples, and was sucking it while caressing his chest with his hands. Casting his eyes up to lock with Aragorn’s, he said, “I just love your hairy chest. Aye, I love you.” Feeling his heart miss a beat, Aragorn pulled him towards himself letting Legolas’ head rest on said chest, and breathed into his ear, “I love you too, my fair one.” *********************************************************** **************** In the meantime, Elrond had not only entered the long hall at the northern part of the house, but he had waited a while, finally started and then finished his breakfast, all the while thinking about the unexpected turn in his son’s love life. After a seemingly endless train of thought, beginning at his incomprehension of the whole matter and naivete for not noticing earlier, he finally settled with the conclusion that, as it was not uncommon amongst Elves to choose a partner of the same sex, it would not make much difference for Aragorn, after living amongst them and being treated as one of them his entire life. And, besides, the prince of Mirkwood was surely no bad choice. As neither of the two lovers came to join him at the table, he estimated that they probably had changed their minds, and had something brought to their rooms, and he raised to go back for his belated bath. *********************************************************** **************** Aragorn lay on his back, in a pool of water on the floor, his arms wrapped around his Elf and sucking on one of his shapely ears, after having battled themselves out of the tub. Legolas rested atop him, breathing unmistakably harder under the man’s administrations on his ear, and searching with oil-slicked fingers for the man’s entrance. *********************************************************** **************** Turning the last corner, Elrond listened, and stopped walking. Undoubtedly, he could make out loud breathing, some splashing, and looking down to the floor, saw water trickling out underneath the door. The breathing was replaced by louder sighing and crying out, accompanied by new waves of water gushing out towards his feet. “Legolas!” - “Ai! Ai!” He sighed and turned, suppressing the urge to tell his son to leave him to his favorite bathing chamber, as he did not want to barge in on them a second time, and more, at this particular moment. So he decided to settle for a substitute this time, and he went to search for a servant to prepare his bath in another room. The End Be iest lîn = According to your wish page 7
