The Teacher

Chap 44

Elrond went to his bathing room and after a long hot bath, settled
down in a large chair by the fireplace. Sipping a glass of wine, he
thought about the kiss that he had shared with Penda. Feeling himself
grow hard with the thoughts, he reached down and moving the drying
cloth that covered him, grasped himself; closing his eyes as he did.
Setting his glass down, he began a slow, agonizing up and down motion
with his hand; his hips thrusting upwards with each downward motion.

Several long moments had gone by when he sensed someone else in the
room. Opening his eyes, he saw Penda standing before him in a sheer
gown. Looking down, she smiled as she watched his hand in motion.
Realizing what she had seen, Elrond quickly covered himself;
releasing his hardness as he did. He watched as she loosened the tie
that held her gown, immediately the gown fell; pooling at her feet.

Elrond swallowed hard "Penda," he said in a strangled voice, "you
should…"

"Shh, milord," she replied as she stepped forward. Kneeling down in
front of him, she placed her hands on his knees. Pushing his legs
apart, she slowly inched her way forward until she was between his
legs; their bodies touching. Elrond watched as she reached up,
grasped the drying cloth and pulled it off; exposing his desire.

Smiling she leaned forward causing his maleness to become wedged
between her ample breasts. Putting her lips to his skin just below
his navel, she began to rain soft kisses on him. As she worked her
way up his abdomen to his chest, she reached up and raked her nails
across his nipples; causing them to harden and Elrond hiss.

"Penda," he moaned grasping her hair, "this is …"

Ignoring him, Penda moved her lips further up. Moving one hand she
replaced it with her lips, sucking the nipple between her lips and
flicking her tongue across it as she did. Elrond became silent. He
watched as she moved to the other nipple, giving it the same
treatment.

Closing his eyes and putting his head back, Elrond relished in what
she was doing to him; in the way his body was feeling. Not believing
it possible, he could feel himself grow harder.

Finally releasing his nipple from the torments of her tongue, Penda
stood and leaning forward with her hands on either side of the chair,
she flicked the tip of her tongue across the sensitive tip of one of
his ears. As she did, Elrond opened his eyes and reaching up, grasped
both breasts; rubbing his thumbs across the nipples as he did.

As if on cue, Penda slowly climbed into the chair and straddled his
hips. Slowly she lowered herself down until she could feel the tip of
his hardness at her entrance. Both looked at each other. Releasing
her breasts, Elrond placed one hand on her hip and the other behind
her head. Pulling her head down, their lips met. As their kiss
deepened, Penda began to lower herself down onto him, taking him into
her slowly until he touched her innocence. Moving her body back up;
she made this same motion several more times; thus allowing herself
to become accustomed to him. Then with one upward motion she stopped.
Breaking the kiss she looked at him and then quickly lowered her lips
to his again. As the kiss deepened once again, she impaled herself on
him; breaking through her innocence and moaning with the pain.
Moving his hands to her waist, Elrond held her close; allowing her
body to become accustomed to him.

Penda could not believe Elrond's size. She knew that when it came to
this particular part of a males body that all varied in size, but not
like this. Becoming accustomed to his length and girth, she pulled
away and placing her hands on his shoulders; slowly began to ride
him. Up and down, up and down she went until the pain was forgotten.

As she moved, Elrond moved his hands to her hips, encouraging her to
move faster and harder; thrusting his hips upwards as he did. As she
rode him, he took her breast into his mouth, first one and then the
other. He sucked on them like a newborn babe, while flicking his
tongue across the nipples; causing them to harden.

Penda moaned with the feelings her body was going through. Feeling
the heat rising between her legs and up through her body, she gasped
as she reached her peak. Continuing the up and down motion, Elrond
grasped her hips tighter. Moaning he brought her down hard on him one
last time as he thrust upwards; releasing into her. With him still
buried deep within her, Penda waited until their breathing calmed. As
it did, she leaned forward and kissed him on the forehead, then sat
back. Feeling her sit back, Elrond opened his eyes and that's when he
saw it; the face of his beloved wife, Celebrian.

Elrond woke with a start. Where was Penda? Looking down he saw that
the drying cloth was still covering him, the glass of wine sitting on
the table next to him; untouched. A dream, he thought to himself; a
very vivid one at that. Standing, he crossed the room and upon
entering hers, moved to stand beside the bed. He watched as she
slept. Several minutes later he strode back to his room. There was
only one person who could tell him the meaning of his dream. He would
leave for Lothlorien in the morning; he hoped Penda would understand.


Penda woke the next morning, with thoughts of the kiss she had shared
with Elrond still on her mind. Rising from bed, she rushed off to her
bathing room; where she took a long hot bath and washed her hair.
After sitting by the fire and combing her hair till it was dry, she
put on one of her best gowns and went downstairs for the morning
meal. Stepping out onto the terrace she noticed that Elrond's seat
was empty, as was her fathers'. They must have an important matter to
discuss, she thought to herself; they didn't usually miss the first
meal of the day.

It wasn't until later in the afternoon, when she arrived at Elrond's
library to begin her lessons that she found out that he was gone.
Upon entering the room, she found her father sitting behind Elrond's
desk.

"Ada, why are you here?" she asked as she approached him, "Where is
Lord Elrond, it is time for my lessons?"

Putting the papers down that he had been reading, Erestor stood and
moved around to the front of the desk; greeting her as he did. "It is
good to see you as well my daughter," he chided, "I am sorry I missed
you for our meals." Motioning for her to sit down, he leaned back
against the desk; crossing his arms in front of him. "In answer to
your question, Elrond had to go to Lothlorien; in his absence it is
not unusual for me to take care of the daily matters that may arise."

"Lothlorien," Penda replied, "why would he need to go there? He did
not go alone did he?"

"He did not say why he was going, Penda," Erestor replied, "and it is
not my position to ask. If he felt I should know, he would have told
me. And no, he did not go alone, even a seasoned warrior such as he
would not make a journey like this alone. His sons and three of his
guards went with him." Turning, Erestor picked up a sealed note from
the desk. "However, before he left he asked that I give this to
you." Handing her the note he continued "Do not worry child, he will
be back. It is not unusual for him to seek council from Galadriel.
Now, if you will excuse me I should get back to work."

"Yes, Ada," Penda replied.

"There is one more thing," Erestor said as he sat down behind the
desk.

"What is that, father?" Penda replied.

"Elrond did leave a list of what work he wants you to do. He was
adamant that your lessons not suffer in his absence." Picking up
another paper he handed it to her. "He will only be gone a short
time," he said reassuringly when he saw the dejected look on her
face, "I am sure the time will go quickly."

Giving her father the biggest smile she could muster, Penda took her
list and after excusing herself; left the office. Going outside she
wondered down to a knoll that overlooked one of the smaller
waterfalls. Sitting down, she slowly ran her fingers across the wax
seal bearing his insignia; afraid to open it; afraid of what it might
say.

After what seemed like hours, but in fact was only minutes, she
finally slipped her fingers under the seal; breaking it. Carefully
opening it, she read the message he had left.

"Penda," it began, "I am sorry that I could not wake you this
morning before leaving to give you a proper farewell. I must travel
to Lothlorien and seek council with Galadriel and Celeborn, regarding
a personal nature. Upon my return, we will talk of the feelings we
share for one another. Know that you are ever in my thoughts. I
will return soon. Elrond.

Penda reread the letter several more times before she finally closed
it. She thought of the kiss they had shared the night before and
wondered if this was the reason for his trip. "Hurry back to me,"
she whispered as she brought the letter to her lips, kissing his seal
softly.

Slipping the note safely into one of her books, she took her list of
lessons and read over it. Knowing of her interest in history, Elrond
had left numerous lessons for her in that subject. Opening one book,
she immersed herself in it; reading of the War of the Last Alliance
that had occurred near the end of the Second Age. She read of the
fall of Gil-Galad, the last high king of the Noldor and of mans
failure to destroy the One Ring. She thought of the ring and wondered
what had happened to it.

Several hours later she was startled out of her thoughts by the bells
signifying the evening meal. After gathering her books and ensuring
that the note from Elrond was still in her book, she hurried back
inside. After putting the books away and the note under her pillow,
she rushed down to the dining hall.

Later that evening she joined her father in the library, where he
tried to help her with several questions she had regarding what she
had read about the Last Alliance. When he was unable to answer her
questions she excused herself and went back to her room and prepared
for bed.

Afterwards, as she crawled into bed and as she would do every night
until Elrond returned; she read the note and again kissed the seal.

The days turned into weeks and soon a month had come and gone. One
evening, as Penda prepared for bed she thought of the meal she had
shared earlier in the evening with her father.

They had just begun to eat when a messenger arrived with a missive
from Elrond. After reading over the note, Erestor looked up to Penda
and said, "All is well with Elrond. He expects to leave in two to
three weeks time."

"That is good news, Ada," Penda replied, glad that they had finally
heard from Elrond. "How long should it take him to travel from
Lothlorien?"

"It is hard to say, Penda. If the pass in the mountains is still
clear, then it should only take two weeks; barring any other problems
that may occur."

"And what if the pass is not clear, then what?"

"Then, my daughter, he would have to search for another way over the
mountains or ride south to the Gap of Rohan. That could take two
months or longer."
