TopazKat - Hehehe...its weird, when I wrote that part, I kept thinking
of the movie when he tells Gandolf "Our list of allies grows
thin"...and
pictured him suddenly grabbing a bottle and taking a
swigg...*Smirks*...:)

The Fire Dance





Ch4





Glorfindel walked through his receiving room and Erestors eyes flew
wide when he realized that he was being carried into the slayers bed
chamber. Sensing his new mates increasing distress, Glorfindel swiftly
turned, set the advisor on the setae, then started a fire "Would you
like some wine?"

Releasing a nervous breath, Erestor silently nodded and Glorfindel
grabbed two glasses, then sat down next to his new mate and shook his
head when Erestor scooted away some "Am I that undesirable? I mean..."

Glorfindel then turned to face the nervous advisor "I think I would
make a fine mate for you...I would protect and care for you, yet not be
so overbearing that your independent nature would feel threatened. I
already respect you, and your brilliant mind appeals to me. You are
beyond fair and...and the Valar certainly would Not have paired us
together if they did not feel that we were compatible".

Erestor swallowed hard, then cleared his throat "I am sure that you
would make a fine mate for another warrior Glorfindel...it is just...I
can not see you being content with someone like me. You are very active
and social, as where I am quite happy to remain in my rooms and read,
you like to play cards and enjoy games that have physical contact where
as I prefer chess, reading and ridding. I would never fit in with your
friends...and you are always surrounded by fellow warriors".

Glorfindel furrowed his brow, refilled their glasses, then scooted
closer and tilted his head "It sounds to me like you fear that I would
become bored with you", the seneschal then leaned back and sighed "And
you are also acting as though I am courting you and you are about to
turn me down...something seems to have slipped your mind".

Erestor arched his brow and Glorfindel smiled "We are already bound".

The dark advisor lowered his gaze and nervously bit his lip "Oh...well,
uh...aye".

Glorfindel slowly reached over and caressed Erestors cheek with the
back of his hand and smiled "I also noticed that you have not mentioned
that you are not attracted to me".

Erestor turned his gaze away but Glorfindel caught the light blush in
his cheeks as he rolled his eyes and sighed "Well of course I...I find
you attractive Glorfindel, that is not the point".

The golden warrior smirked and moved closer "Then what Is the point
Erestor".

The dark advisor slumped a little and focused on the fire as he
whispered "I am not a warrior".

Glorfindel blinked surprised as he studied Erestors defeated posture,
then slowly pulled him into his arms. Erestor stiffened instantly, then
squirmed "What...what are you doing".

Glorfindel held him securely "I am holding my new husband who is not a
warrior...I will be honest with you, when I realized it was you who was
to be my mate, I was rather shocked. I did expect to be with a fellow
warrior but as I said, I am not disappointed. You may not be a warrior
of the battlefield Erestor, but you are a warrior of the mind. I have
seen you with strategic maps, seen you delegate, and you are the most
disciplined elf I have ever encounterd...had you been around when
Turgon needed...he would have learned much from you."

Erestor slowly blinked in shock at the complement, then swallowed hard
when Glorfindel leaned in closer and whispered "And now I am going to
kiss you".

Erestors eyes widened as the golden warrior got closer and closer, then
trembled slightly when their lips touched. After only moments, the shy
advisor melted into the seneschals arms.

Glorfindel slowly released and drew back when he heard a soft purring
whimper and smiled at his now panting mate "So...do you still feel like
fleeing my shy husband?"

Erestor licked his lips and swallowed nervously "Aye and nay...your
kiss was...it was...I am at a loss on how to verbalize my thoughts
about it...and...and that frightens me".

Glorfindel sat tall and chuckled "So in other words, I just kissed all
logical thought right out of you...hmm...well, I will take that as a
complement".

As the blond warrior pulled him close, Erestor slowly leaned his head
against his shoulder and sighed "I...I had given up entertaining the
idea that I would become bound to someone...expechaly a warrior.
Wh...what do we do now Glorfindel, I mean...tis almost the mid of night
and we have not...what should we..."

Glorfindel placed a gentle kiss on Erestors temple and smiled kindly
"Worry not, I remember your half confession from earlier and I feel
that the Valar will understand if we were to not consummate the bond in
an average way".

Erestor blinked and arched his brow "What half confession".

The seneschal gave him a light squeeze and smiled "When I first picked
you up you said, "Are you going to, are we going to, saes Glorfindel I
have never...", I know that one should not assume, but to me, that
sounded like a confession of virginity...and I do not want you to worry
about this mater".

Erestor lowered his gaze and sighed "I actually do not remember saying
that...though...though it is...true".

The dark advisor then furrowed his brow "Wait, what did you mean when
you just said "average way", I do not understand".

Glorfindel smirked and held him tight "Well, I was thinking...to
consummate a bond, you must have penetration and release. So I
thought...now do not get frightened Erestor this is just a thought and
a temporary solution until you are ready...but I thought perhaps that I
could take you into my mouth...thus, penetration, and eventual release".

Erestor turned sharply in his arms and just silently gawked at the
blond warrior. After a few moments, Glorfindel arched his brow and
smiled kindly "Well? What do think".
