Chapter 3.


Once again Nessa foundselfself close to the stables. She knew it
was almost time to meet Eomer but had wanted to watch the riders for
a few minutes before. She envied how they could just mount their
horses and ride off. Often she wondered if any of them would feel
the same way she did if their horse had died.
" Does this mean you have considered my offer"Nessa could not keep
from smiling as she heard his voice. She wondered when he began to
have this effect on her.
"Perhaps" She replied softly yet still did not turn to face him. Her
eyes closed when she felt him step up behind her. She could feel how
close he way and had only to lean back slightly to make contact.
" It would be a great honor should you agree to ride with me once
more" His voice soft in her ear followed by a soft kiss to her neck.
She could not keep from shivering.
" On one condition."Nessa barely managed to get the words passed her
lips." We must take the same trail as before" She finally turned to
face him. A small gasp escaped as she realized just how close he had
been standing.
" your wish, My lady» He gave a small bow making Nessa giggle
softly "Is my command."
In silence she watched as he took her hand in his, leading them to
where his horse had been waiting. As before he lifted her into the
saddle before mounting behind her.
Nessa rested her self against him, the gentle rocking of the horse's
movement began to relax her. She knew Eomer kept the reins in his
grasp but it did not go unnoticed when he had tightened his arms
around her.
The ride seemed to take longer then the day before. It was only when
they reached the hill top did she realize why. In the same area they
had stood to watch the sun set was now set up with a blanket and
what appeared to be a basket of food.
" You did this?" She locked eyes with Eomer when he reached up to
help her dismount.
" I'll admit to having some help." His smile made her knees want to
give out from under her.
" How could you be so sure I would agree to ride with you again?"
She had to blink back the tears. Never before had anyone done
something like this before.
" Perhaps I trusted in fate" Nessa could not help but laugh
"Perhaps this is why it took so long to get here?" She saw the
guilty look in his eyes and had to laugh once more.
" Shall we eat?" He lifted her hand to his lips and gently kissed
it. Nessa could only nod in reply for she did not trust herself to
speak.
Eomer took both her hands in his and for a few steps walked
backwards while keeping his eyes locked with hers. He was not sure
what had intrigue him when it came to Nessa. Perhaps it was how they
shared a deep respect for horses. It had impressed him beyond words
that she had been willing to stay at her horse's side till the very
end.
"Are you not going to tell me who helped you?" Nessa asked after
awhile.
"Can you not guess?"Eomer smiled as he took a sip of his drink.
"Eowyn" Nessa should have know. Her good friend enjoyed doing stuff
like this. She could only imagine how she would be questioned upon
their return.
"How else would I know what your favorite food are?" Eomer chuckled
Nessa looked at the food that had been placed about the blanket.
Until now she had not noticed that it indeed was all her favorites.
There was even a bowl of her all time favorite fruits. She also knew
that blueberries were not easily found in Rohan.
"Why do you go through all this trouble?" She could not keep from
asking anymore. She watched as He set down his drink and brought
himself closer to her. He took her hand in his as he gently eased
her into his lap.
" Is that not yet obvious?" He questioned. Her reply silenced as his
mouth captured hers. Nessa melted into his embrace as the kiss
deepened. They broke apart suddenly when they had been gently
nudged, Nessa could not keep from laughing when she saw it was none
other then Eomer's horse.
"Could you not have waited for a better time to interrupt my
friend?" Eomer all but glared at his steed.
"Perhaps he just wants some attention as well."Nessa got up slowly
as she petted the large head of the beautiful creature.
" You plan to kiss him as well?"Eomer teased with a chuckle
Nessa had reached down and picked up a handful of blueberries.
Tossing one at Eomer before she fed the rest to the horse.
Eomer could only watch in silence as Nessa continue to give
attention to his horse. He could not help but feel a small twinge of
jealousy towards his horse. He wished to be the one she gave her
attention to.
Nessa patted the horses head once more before it finally turned and
left them, never wandering off to far she was sure.
Eomer wasted no time in pulling her back down to him. Once again he
captured her mouth with his. Her soft whimper had not gone unheard
as his tongue slipped past her parted lips. His hands now cupped
each side of her face.
"Excuse me Lord Eomer? » Eomer growled as he once again pulled away
from Nessa. "My Apologies My Lord, King Theoden has requested your
presence." The rider looked really uncomfortable as he watched
Eomer. Nessa felt sorry for him as Eomer gave him a look that would
stop an orc.
"It is urgent My Lord I am sur yor your uncle would not have sent me
to find you" Eomer sighed and nodded as he looked back at Nessa
"My uncle has many fine qualities but today timing is not one of
them" Nessa giggled softly as she placed a soft kiss on his cheek.
" We should go, I will not be the reason you are late for this"
Nessa stood as he did. She looked around at the food before them. He
told her to leave it and he would send someone later.

Nessa noticed that Eomer was unusually quiet. Leaning back against
him she was pleased to feel him tighten his embrace once more.
"You seem troubled?"Nessa turned her head and rested it against his
neck.
" I did have something else planned for us" He lightly kissed her
forehead.
" Next time perhaps" She replied softly. The idea of there being a
next time thrilled her more then she thought it would.
" Agreed."
The ride back into the city had seemed once again short. All too
soon Eomer was helping her down. Her feet had barely touched the
ground when he pulled her to him. His arms encircled her waist as
his lips found hers.
The message in his kiss was unmistakable. It was a promise of things
yet to come.
