Chapter 27 - In Lorien

...Several days later....

"Ahh..." moaned Vaniel, the gentle water of the hidden stream caressing her body. Seven days they had spent in the woods of south Lorien, and not a hide nor hair of Eodwyn. The southern fences of the Lorien Woods, where they now were encamped, held three garrisoned elven troops, each consisting of 30 archers and trackers, so they were as well proctected as could be expected without benefit of an entire army. The Rangers had finally departed, riding back to their strongholds in North Ithilien and even Haldir was more relaxed.

Vaniel sat up and leaned against the outcropping of rocks that served as a natural containment for this little pool she had discovered. The cool water lapped at her bosom, and little currents danced around her legs. Above her, wide canopies of mallorn trees formed tall cathedrals, their spires reaching as far as her eyes could see. Here and there, where the branches forked, she could see patches of azure sky. Birdsong filled the little garden, flowers bloomed, and gentle breezes lulled her senses. It was an idyllic place and she could see why the Galadhrim mourned the loss of their beloved Lothlorien, now that Caras Galadthon had faded and its beauty dimmed. Yet, some of Galadriel's magic still remained and places such as these held her signature.

Vaniel leaned her back against the stones, and dipped beneath the water until it reached her chin. She closed her eyes and let the water soothe her.

During the seven days that they has spent in this wood, Haldir had sent word ahead to East Lorien and she knew that his brothers were aware he was near. She had not expected them to come, for Haldir had said once that when he was away Orophin cared for Athryn, and did not believe Rumil would journey on his own.

But journey he did and Vaniel was happy to re-acquaint herself with Rumil, bits and pieces of buried memories from childhood surfacing as she was re-introduced to the blonde elf whose affection for his older brother shone in the gaiety of his eyes. Of course, she and Rumil had hit it off immediately, Vaniel seeing some of Haldir in him and loving her brother-in-law the more because of it.

Vaniel and Haldir had spent as much time together as they were afforded, but she knew that they remained so that she could rest, unaccustomed to riding as hard as they had done. She was thankful to Haldir for letting her spend a few precious days regaining her strength, but she also wondered if his reluctance to move on was in part due to Athryn's existance and the eventual decision he would have to make.

Haldir was now within leagues of Athryn and he had not mentioned her once. Vaniel knew he was not anxious to bring her further into East Lorien where Athryn dwelled, having preferred to make for Imladris where both Ramion and Nithoniel had family. Vaniel wondered if Haldir would broach the subject of Athryn and her presence in East Lorien.

Her eyes closed, she did not hear the soft footsteps that entered the secret pool, but she well knew the mouth that suddenly kissed her neck.

Many long moments later, the lovers sat nude in each other's embrace, Vaniel on Haldir's lap, her back to him, her legs astride of his body, as he sat with his own back against a sturdy mallorn.

His hips moved in a slow circular rhythm and Vaniel arched her back toward him, while his hands cupped both breasts, his thumbs teasing their nipples. Slowly, Haldir slipped his manhood inside of Vaniel, both prolonging their pleasure by moving as slowly as possible.

Vaniel had blushed at this position that Haldir suggested, but when he showed her, she soon forgot her misgivings, rocking with him, as he pulled her against him so that her breasts and her thighs were within his reach.

As his thumbs circled her nipples, the familiar fire began to spread in Vaniel's loins and she arched back again, this action serving to drive Haldir deeper into her.

He groaned and gently pinched both nipples, bringing Vaniel to hiss through her teeth and to the expel the air in her lungs with a sweet moan that ended in his name.

"Oh my love" Vaniel breathed, "let me touch you." Her hands reached between her legs and she felt him, where their bodies joined, her fingers caressing the hardness of him, his thighs, and then his legs.

Haldir's hands tightened on Vaniel's breast and he shifted slightly, bringing his knees up a little ways. This gave him a greater leverage and he began to thrust inside of her, moaing her name while Vaniel closed her eyes, placing her palms flat against his thighs, and allowed her body to float on the ecstacy she felt.

In moments, Haldir increased his speed but he wanted her to know her release first, so he slowed. This brought a grunt of dissatisfaction from Vaniel and behind her Haldir grinned.

"We are too hot to finish, my sweet..." His breath was warm against her ears and Vaniel licked her lips and rested her head on his strong shoulders.

"There are many ways, Vaniel..." One hand held her breast while the other cupped her mound, parting the folds and teasing her. "Let me show you." He leaned closer to her back, his fingers pressing and relaxing, creating a maddening rhythm that she knew would drive her insane.

Gently, Haldir brought his hand around her waist, leaving her breasts exposed and then was joined by the other hand. Slowly, he raised Vaniel off his body, Vaniel marveling at his strength for he moved her as if she were made of nothing more substantial than a summer breeze.

Haldir turned Vaniel's body around to face him and he lowered her onto his lap, burying himself inside her again, giving her the advantage. He held her by the thighs and brought his knees up, letting her lean against them. Vaniel's legs were splayed between his body, and she felt a delicious laziness spread throughout her, stilling her so that she did not move, and merely allowed herself to adjust to him as he filled her and swelled inside her warmth.

Vaniel looked at Haldir with a languid smile and she saw his eyes darken. "Now I have you where I want you." He breathed and slowly captured her mouth in a long, deep kiss of raw need and hunger.

Instinctively, Vaniel opened her lips to allow Haldir's tongue easier access to her. Twining her arms around his neck, she pressed herself against his chest, her nipples stiff against him. Moving her hips, Vaniel ground herself against Haldir, the fire in her loins spreading, urging her to move, to meet his slow upward thrusts with downward ones. She licked his lips and kissed his mouth, the kiss growing in fervor. As Haldir planted a trail of kisses on her neck, one hand reached for a breast and gently cupped it, as his lips neared a nipple, and sucked the stiff peak into his mouth.

Vaniel tensed her fingers and held onto his shoulders, grasping him hard as he tugged at her nipples, a familiar ache now growing in her loins.

Now the lovers moved faster, Haldir bucking his hips up to urge Vaniel's movements down. Faster they moved, Haldir staying himself so as not to finish before his wife. Her body was like fire, her mouth kissing his neck, shoulders, their joined bodies moving more quickly now.

Then Vaniel felt the explosion inside her groin, gripping Haldir and relaxing and she groaned loudly and in her ecstacy she arched her back, brown curls kissing Haldir's thighs as he struggled for control.

A groan coming from deep inside Haldir, he began to suckle Vaniel's breast while the other hand reached the soft curls between her thighs, his fingers gently parting her, he found her most sensitive area and began to rub gently. Vaniel gasped and thought she would die from the pleasure. Haldir was bringing her to the edge of madness and just as she thought there could be no other pinnacle to climb, her body tensed again, rhythmic waves of pleasure fanning from her loins and coursing through her body. Her reaction was so intense, that she began to tremble, feeling Haldir's finger slip away and as she climaxed, he thrust deeply into her, groaning her name and holding tightly to her thighs.

Vaniel arched her back again and Haldir finally loosened his control, stilling his movements and exploding in wave after wave of delirium, his body pressed against her, his arms enclircling her body, his breathing hot against her ears.

Together, embracing each other tightly, their bodies melted into the other, their delight and pleasure cooling into a deep warm glow of love, pure and strong, as their spirits, once again, fused. Long moments they spent in each other's arms, whispering love words and endearments one to the other, expressing in soft and gentle kisses how deeply their love ran. But in a short while, their passion for one another flared and grew again, Haldir closing his eyes and allowing himself to feel her presence.

Holding herself away from Haldir, Vaniel smiled and looked at her beloved's face, whose eyes were still closed. "We were made for each other, husband, " she said in a husky whisper, caressing his hairline and then losing her fingers in his silken hair.

Instantly, the sapphire eyes opened and she saw growing passion there.

Without speaking, Vaniel reached for Haldir letting her hands drop to his manhood, which she found was again ready for her. Her fingers flexed gently around him and she explored the velvet softness of him, letting her passion and his groans be her guide. Wanting him inside of her, she stilled her movements and kissed him lightly on the mouth, running her tongue over his lips, breathing words that she knew would take him into a frenzy of desire for her.

Succeeding, Vaniel found herself flat against the ground and Haldir above her, holding her legs between his body, spreading her thighs gently, and lowering his head to her belly where he planted light kisses, his tongue twirling lower, past her navel, to her thighs and then to her curls. Vaniel arched her back in ecstacy, for he was taking her to new and greater heights which she had never dreamed possible. Gently, he inserted two fingers inside of her and began the ancient rhythmic dance, using his other hand to rub her most sensitive area. Vaniel's head twisted from side to side, her breath coming in spurts. When she thought she would die from the pleasure Haldir was giving her, her body tensed as currents of delicious energy coursed up from her loins, toward her thighs, down her legs and into her toes....her chest contracted and she could not breathe.

Haldir smiled, his eyes dark with passion, as he felt her moist sheath tighten over his fingers and he quickly withdrew them drawing a loud moan of protest from Vaniel, but this was quickly silenced by his kiss and the protests soon turned to moans of pleasure when Haldir thrust his manhood inside of Vaniel, once more beginning the old rhythmic dance, taking her again to another peak of ecstacy. Faster he rocked against her, until his own body no longer obeyed him and Haldir surrended to the sweet agony of passion, spilling his seed deep inside her body, as Vaniel tensed and exploded once more, wave after wave of pleasure stilling her, robbing her of strength.

Spent and in love, the couple held each other and soon slept.
