The Fire Dance





Ch24





Elrond took Thranduils hand, then stroked his cheek with the other
"They will leave first thing in the morning my love, they will need
their rest first, after all, tracking at night can be misleading".

Sighing heavily, Thranduil reluctantly nodded his agreement "I know, I
am worried is all, for I am the one who forced his fleeing".

Rumil slowly stood as he grabbed two apples, one orange, two slices of
buttered bread and a sweet cake and placed them on a trey "I will
return
to our rooms, eat, then retire early so to be fully rested for when we
leave".

The youngest of three then looked to Elladan "I take it we will be
leaving at first light my lord?"

Elladan nodded "Aye Rumil, on foot".

~*~*~

After everyone finished their meal and Elrond offered relaxation in his
study, Glorfindel stood and bowed "If you will excuse me, I have a
pressing matter to attend to".

Erestor furrowed his brow "Do you need my help?"

The seneschal smiled as he shook his head "Nay, I will find you when I
am finished my dear husband" then swiftly left the room.

Erestor looked back at everyone seated "He is trouble, it worries me
that he is up to something".

"Psss"

Everyone turned to Elrohir with curious looks and the younger twin took
a deep breath "Phh-huhps hh huhs h suhhphuhs fhuh huh", then rubbed the
front of his neck as he winced.

The entire room fell silent with shock and Elladan smiled "Elrohir
said, Perhaps he has a surprise for you".

Elrond wiped the tears from his eyes and nodded proudly "Aye, perhaps
you are right my son".

Elrohir smiled as he leaned against Cirdan and the eldar lord
kissed the top of his head "Very good my love...perhaps in time, I
will no longer be calling you my Din-mir".

~*~*~

Glorfindel burst into the kitchen "Crabanwen!"

The young elleth spun wide eyed from hearing the panicked call "By the
blessed Valar my lord what! What is amiss!"

Glorfindel placed his hands on her shoulders as he tried to catch his
breath "I...need your...help...saes help me!"

"Of course I will help...what is it"

"I need tonight to be Very special for Erestor, I am at a loss...I
have flowers, candles, wine...help me Crabanwen! What am I forgetting,
and should I set this all up in His chamber or Mine!"

The young elleth smiled and took his hand "Oh you poor poor ellon, tul".

Glorfindel allowed himself to be lead away, then swallowed nervously
when he realized where she was taking him and began to resist as he
shook his head "Oh nay...nay I...I can not go in there!"

"Aye, you can"

"Naaay nay I can not! Tis the...the Hall of  Falls!"

"Do you need help?"

"Aye"

"Then you must enter our sanctum and request our help, as we would have
to enter the Hall of Fire to gain yours".

Glorfindel took a deep breath as he looked at the door, then nodded
"Aye, for my love, I...I will do this".

Crabanwen smiled as she pulled him into the room, then shut and bolted
the door.

The seneschal swallowed hard when about twenty pairs of eyes fell upon
him and he quickly bowed "My ladies".

As the young elleth went over to the group of maidens to explain his
presence, Glorfindel thought about the two Halls. When Elrond had
created the Hall of Fire to be a place for warriors to gather and
relax, as soon as it was finished, Celebrien immediately stated that
the
large room would be perfect for celebrations as well. Elrond had
reluctantly agreed to please his wife, but Celebrien then claimed
another Hall, stating that if the males had to have a place, then so
should the elleths have a sanctuary to keep the rowdy males away. Thus
the Hall of Falls was created. Though with one big difference, no males
were permitted.

To the seneschals knowledge, only three males had ever entered the
forbidden Hall....Elrond, due to Celebrien going into labor and the
elven lord had to actually deliver his sons there...Erestor, but only
during inventory and he was always accompanied by a eldar elleth...and
Lindir, though he was asked regularly to enter and play music. There
was
much speculation by the males of Rivendell on what it looked like, and
what went on there. All three ellons were tight liped and never
repeated what they witnessed upon entering, fueling the curiosity of
the others.



The seneschal blinked from his thoughts, then cautiously glanced
around the elleth's sanctuary.   He was immediately
calmed by the
soothing sound of the waterfalls outside.  Two large
balconies opened
up to two separate waterfalls and there was a space for dancing, yet
the rest of the space was taken up by plush seats and long
chairs.  The
chamber was definitely decorated for comfort.  There were two
small
intimate fireplaces, a variety of bright airy colors adorning the room,
and an abundance of flowers making the room smell fresh and sweet like
a garden. It was a maiden's sanctuary.

The golden warrior quickly cleared his throat when he realized he was
being addressed, then smiled apologetically to the giggling maidens and
inclined his head "Forgive me, I was just admiring the relaxed nature
of your Hall, it is lovely here".

One of the seasoned maids crossed her arms as she smirked "So lord
Glorfindel, you wish for a decorative and romantic evening with master
Erestor?"

"Aye"

"We can help you and have your chamber ready within the hour"

The golden warrior smiled as he placed his hand to his heart "Oh hannon
le, all of you, I...I want tonight to be perfect, magical...though you
mentioned My chamber, this was a worry of mine, would not Erestor feel
safer in his own chamber?"

Another elleth stood and arched her brow "Tell me lord Glorfindel, do
you truly wish to be the one responsible for altering master Erestors
personal comfort space? His...safe place?"

Glorfindel blinked "My chamber it is, I do not wish to upset him in any
way...I am hopeing for...err...well, a very special evening for him".

Crabanwen smiled "You are true gem my lord, now, what do these lovely
ladies get for their efforts?"

The seneschal stood tall, he knew there would be a price for his
entering their sanctuary "What had you in mind, what do you consider
fair payment"

The group stood, walked away from the quilt they were making and
huddled together.

Glorfindel strained his hearing to try and decipher their mumbles, but
was unsuccessful. Again, he stood tall when they turned to face him.
One
of the eldar elleths stepped forward and tilted her head "As you may
have noticed, we create quilts and tapestries. We have recreated one
for
each city and age...save one. We have been unable to acquire proper
descriptions of Gondolin, its way of life and weaving".

The seneschal blinked surprised, then smiled and inclined his head "My
dear ladies, I will set a block of time aside every day for you and
help
you the best I am able...you have my word".

The group nodded in agreement then looked to Crabanwen, who then
swiftly
grabbed and yanked the seneschal from the Hall. Back in the corridor,
Glorfindel gave the young elleth a hug "Hannon le, and worry not, I
will be silent about what I witnessed".

Crabanwen smiled and waved her hand "Go now, within an hour, you may
take master Erestor to your chamber".

~*~*~

Glorfindel quietly peeked into Elronds study, then entered when he
noticed Cirdan handing Erestor a glass of wine "That best not be your
evil brew Cirdan"

Erestor smiled as he set it down "Oh hush, tis only normal wine" then
stood to embrace his husband.

The seneschal hugged him tight and smiled "Just being careful my dark
husband..." then winked and whispered "My shy rabbit"

The dark advisor rolled his eyes "So what was so very pressing?"

Glorfindel grabbed a glass and sat "A surprise"

Everyone smiled as Erestor bit his lip "Well what is it?"

"A surprise"

"I realize that, what is the surprise"

Glorfindel sat back in his chair and looked to Elrond "So tell me my
lord, I see that Elladan is not here, has he retired for tomorrow's
departure?"

Before Elrond could answer, Erestor plopped himself down hard on the
seneschals lap "I will not be ignored, you have a surprise for me?"

Looking into his loves eyes, he smiled and gave him a squeeze "Aye my
impatient rabbit, now hush so that I may enjoy this wine, you will get
your surprise soon"

Elrond snorted "You best not make him wait long Findel, Erestor is not
one to be kept waiting...and to answer your question, aye, Elladan
retired for the evening".

~*~*~

Rumil, having just finished packing his satchel, cringed when he
heard the chamber door open.

Haldir quickly walked over and turned him around by the shoulder "I do
not like this Ru, Lorien you know, you do not know Rivendell".

Rumil narrowed his eyes and pulled his shoulder away "Tracks are tracks
Hal, no mater where they lay, besides, it is not as though I will be
alone, prince Elladan will be with me and He knows Rivendell better
then even lord Glorfindel...now leave me be, I need to get some rest"

Surprised by his youngest brothers assertive reaction, Haldir sat on
the edge of his bed "Ru, you are only fifty-one, I worry over you"

Rumil crawled into his bed and sighed "Aye Hal, I am fifty-one, that
means I am Past my majority...granted by only a year, but I am a good
tracker, and prince Elladan is will keep me safe".

Orophin smiled as he watched Haldir tucked Rumil in "Just be safe Ru,
alright?"

~*~*~

Erestor sighed as they approached Glorfindels chamber "This is where my
surprise is?"

The seneschal nodded, then released his hand "Aye my lovely husband.
Though I feel compelled to mention, nothing will happen in here that
you
do not wish. Tonight is for you my shy dark rabbit"

Erestor blinked surprised at Glorfindels seriousness, then turned the
handle and walked in.

"Oh....Findel, you...you did all this for me?"

Glorfindel smiled at his reaction, then snorted "Are you mad? I had
help of course, there is no way in Arda I could achieve such beauty on
my own, for you, I am not beyond asking for help"

Erestor turned around and smiled "Not many would admit such, they would
have claimed this achievement...but not you, you have always been
honest
with me and I admire that about you Findel, you are an honorable
warrior, and you are mine, you are My primitive warrior"

The seneschal rolled his eyes "There you go with the 'primitive' again,
really Erestor I thimmph...mmm..."

Erestor wrapped his arms around the golden warriors neck as he silenced
him with his lips, then slowly pulled away. Glorfindel blinked, then
cleared his throat "Err...what was I saying?"

The dark advisor smiled as he walked further into the chamber that now
resembled garden and sighed as he slowly walked over to the bed "So,
did you do all this so you could have your way with me?"

Glorfindel snorted "Well, you have already had Me, I thought
perhaps...err...well, I thought that...uh...aye, curse it aye, I was
hopeing this would please you so that I may finally claim my mate
properly, I love you Erestor. I will do nothing till you give me leave
but I want you so very badly, I wanted you to see how special you are
to me, my beautiful paper stroker, my dark rabbit".

Erestor swallowed hard, and to Glorfindels surprise, began to remove
his robe "Will...will you
join me on the bed then my golden husband?"

The seneschal licked his lips and smiled "Aye"

Glorfindel took a deep breath as Erestor threw his robe to the floor
"Valar you were naked under there?"

Erestor smirked and laid back "Aye I do not always ware clothing under
my robes"

Removing his clothing as fast as he could, Erestor chuckled when he
heard the fabric of his loves tunic rip, then bit his lip as Glorfindel
crawled in next to him "I think it is time that...that I truly become
your mate Findel, only...only saes...be gentle with me?"

"I will Erestor, you may trust my touch, I want your first time to be
special"

"Oh I think that is evident by what you did to your chamber, it is so
very lovely and...and it shows me how far you will go to make me happy"

Erestor sighed as Glorfindels hands began to massage his skin, then
arched to give him better access when his loves lips kissed and licked
at his neck.
Erestor writhed on the bed as Glorfindel seemed to take an Age to kiss
every inch of his flesh, and he swallowed hard as he moaned "You are
cruel, you are cruel to be torturing me like this, I am nervous
but...but I want you now, have me now Findel saes, make me wait no
longer my warrior".

Glorfindel slowly laid himself atop his slighter husband, then moaned
as
their members touched and whispered "I want to please you, to make you
whimper at my touch, will you have me?"

As soon as Erestor nodded, Glorfindel grabbed the oil from the side
table and mentally smiled as he thought 'Oh those sweet elleths will
get
more then my words to help them with their art'.

Erestor trembled
slightly as Glorfindels slick finger entered his hidden entrance, then
sighed as his lips were claimed. The seneschal kissed him thoroughly as
he slowly and gently prepared his love, then pulled away "Alright my
beautiful rabbit"

Erestor licked his lips as the ancient warrior moved his knees to his
chest and settled between his legs, claimed his lips again, then slowly
advanced. Caught between the kiss and the strong body above him, all
the dark advisor could do was grip the strong shoulders before him as
he was slowly breached. Once he was fully sheathed into his loves tight
heat, Glorfindel released the kiss and stilled when he noticed Erestors
eyes were closed......

"Are you alright my love?"

"Fu...full..."

"Aye Erestor, I am fully within you"

"Tis...tis not as...bad as I...thought it would be"

Glorfindel smirked "I have not moved yet, reserve that comment for
after I move, and I must do so soon, are you ready?"

"Aye"

Glorfindel slowly pulled back a little........

"Tssss"

Then pushed forward a little........

"Hahhh"

"Are you alright my love?"

Erestor bit his lip and nodded "Aye, though it...st...stings a bit"

"That will pass if you let me continue, trust me"

"Alright, have me then, I...I trust you Findel"

The seneschal slowly moved his knees closer and placed Erestors legs on
his hips "Wrap your legs around me now"

Once he did, Glorfindel gave two thrusts and smiled when Erestor
shuddered and released a panting whimper "Oh aye..wha...aye"

That was all Glorfindel needed, slowly, he began to increase his thrust
until Erestor arched his back and squeezed his legs painfully around
his
waist "Aye my shy rabbit, more? Do you wish for more? Hmm?"

"Ahrgh, Fi...Fin...del...wha...aye!"

Glorfindel took that as his cue and began to have at his dark husband
until the ornate headboard made hard rhythmic bangs against the wall.
It did
not take long before Erestor gasped, dug his nails into the seneschals
shoulders,
and for Glorfindels body to tense...both simultaneously releasing as
they
cried out their pleasure, then finally, Glorfindel collapsed atop his
love.

Erestor panted hard, and after a few moments, whimpered softly
"Fin...Findel I...can not breath"

The seneschal slowly removed himself, moved to his loves side and
pulled
him close "Are...are you alright my dear rabbit? My love?"

The dark advisor laid staring at the ceiling for a moment, then looked
over "Oh I...I believe my fear of this particular activity is gone
now...I um...aye, aye tis gone now Findel"

Glorfindel snorted as he wrapped his arms around him "You do not know
how pleased I am to
hear that".

Erestor chuckled as he drew closer "Oh I think I do, hannon le for your
gentleness"

Glorfindel sighed happily, gave him a squeeze, and the two settled into
each others arms, quietly listening to others
breathing until they fell into reverie among the smell of flowers.
