Chapter 50 - Vows and Love

"...When time and sand reveal the secret held,
That gold and silver bring an ancient meld.
When the night reveals the Song of Old,
Then will the Beasts come with Ryders bold..."


Haldir was already awake when Eridani stirred and opened her eyes. Shocked, she realized that day was no more and the sky was a dark blue velvet speckled with thousands of stars. Turning her head, she found Haldir's sweet gaze as he smiled. Silently, he leaned toward her and kissed the tip of her nose.

But Eridani was still hungry for more and caught his face and stilled him with a slow and languid kiss.

Immediately, Haldir responded and opened his mouth, letting Eridani search and find his tongue. Slowly and luxuriously they kissed, taking time to suckle each other's lips, while the fires of passion leapt between them once more.

Haldir chuckled against her mouth and raised his head slightly. An arched eyebrow and serious countenance suddenly crumbling into a deep laugh, he spoke close to her mouth. "Indeed, my Lady, we will be sore missed. We must go back." His eyes roamed her body, coming to rest on her breasts and he lowered his head to take a nipple in his mouth without waiting for her response.

When it came, Eridani's answer was a deep moan. Her body raised to his and now, knowing what he enjoyed from her, letting her hands come to his chest, rubbing him, pressing herself upward to his body, beginning the familiar dance.

Haldir's body was ready to take her, but he did not wish to be the cause of pain to her. Yet he knew that some pain for her would be inevitable. As he kissed her, his hands explored her body, tension rising between them, her sweet moans driving them further and further into the sweet vortex of arousal.

Slowly, Haldir began to move his hips. Eridani could feel him above her, restraining himself and she wished he would not. His kisses awakened the ache within her belly and now she knew what it was and what it portended. She rubbed her pelvis against him, inviting him, desiring him, loving him. Her hands running across his back, to his legs and she increased the pressure of her hands, pushing him into her.

Still, Haldir slowed the pace, and noticed Eridani moaned a small protest. Yet, he let his hands caress her thighs, and found her mound and once more parting her, he made sure she was ready for him.

Eridani's mind reeled at the sensations Haldir was already bringing to her. She felt his fingers probe her and she arched her back, moaning, playing with his hair, rubbing his chest. Yet, he moved slowly, in marked contrast to her frenzy, for he knew that pain was the last thing on her mind.

Caressing the curls at the entrance of her femininity, he tenderly slipped one finger inside and again felt the barrier. Gently rubbing her, he felt her body rise to meet his hand and slowly he brought his body over hers until he was straddling her. Inserting another finger tenderly, he gasped as he felt her body convulse and tighten. He stilled, letting the waves pass through her without overwhelming her. Again, he began his tender exploration until his own body told him he could wait no longer.

Lowering himself further down, his fingers slipped out of her and Eridani protested loudly. Smiling against her mouth, he whispered, "Why are you so impatient, my heart? All of me belongs to you and nothing will be denied you."

Eridani's response was to moan and open her mouth under his. Slowly, Haldir licked her lips while Eridani captured and released his mouth in small ardent kisses. Making certain she was ready for him, Haldir gently cupped her and felt the honeyed sweetness of her, using his body to gently spread her thighs apart. As carefully and lovingly as he could, Haldir lowered his body and gently brought the tip of his engorged penis to the closed portals of her body. He felt her tense and he waited, his heart pounding, his breath ragged. Opening her eyes, she stared into his, assured by the love and devotion that shone in Haldir's gaze. Without breaking eye contact, Haldir pressed and felt his body enter her but an inch. Eridani's eyes were unfocused, but she was still relaxed against him. Moving his hips in tight circles, Haldir began the ancient dance in earnest, pressing inside her slowly, then easing out, still avoiding her maidenhead.

Eridani raised herself on her elbows and moaned loudly, arching her back and exposing her breasts and neck to his gaze. Taking a nipple in his mouth, Haldir slowly licked and teased its peak, as his body slowly entered and withdrew, so as to minimize her pain.

Now, the ache in Eridani's body began to build. She felt the pressure of his body over hers, the wild beating of her heart and the throbbing ache to possess him, be part of him and in him. As Haldir gently probed her, delicately throbbing inside of her, Eridani brought her hands around to his buttocks and pressing with need and desire, raised her body in a quick upward thrust, feeling his body enter hers fully.

With a gasp, Eridani's eyes widened in shock and sudden pain, and Haldir's eyes travelled to her face, feeling himself fully sheathed in her heat. He stilled and waited, knowing that Eridani needed to make the first move. And seconds later she did, opening her eyes and letting him see that beyond the pain he had caused her, she loved him and wanted him.

Deliciously, they moved in unison, and once Eridani assured him that all discomfort had passed, Haldir gently widened her thighs so that he could explore her depths more fully, sinking his body deeply into hers. Their bodies melded, one into the other, her lifeforce beginning to flare in a golden arc while his glowed with a suffused silver light. As they reached the pinnacle of their passion, waves of pleasure rolling past them, through them and spilling into delirium, their lights joined, becoming one, as an ancient oracle had once prophecied.

They loved each other many times that night and rested rarely, consumed with the delight of their love and passion. Haldir loved to hear his name whispered fervently as he rocked within her, letting the waves of pleasure course through him and spill inside her body. And Eridani marveled at the strength of his love-making, passionate, yet tender, waiting, never demanding, giving, always giving.

When at last their bodies and souls were near sated and clear approaching exhaustion, did they vow before the Valar that naught save time or death would part them again. And to this did the Valar hold them!
