An Ocean of Trees

~Forgive me~


“Sorry about Haldir. He can be stubborn and rude at times, I know he didn’t mean to offend anyone.” Legolas said breaking the silence.

“It’s ok. Um.. Legolas would like to take a bath? I’m just saying, you’ve got mud on you aswell.” Rachel said pointing to the mud on his sleeve and leggings.

“What?” He asked distracted before looking at the mud on his clothes, he hadn’t noticed it before. “Oh… yes a bath would be nice.” He said softly.

Smiling she grabbed his hand and headed up the stairs to her room.

“Where are you taking me?” Legolas asked as they walked up the beautiful stairs that led to two wood doors.

“My room” Rachel said as she opened the door. “I have my own bathroom with a mini spa, you’ll love it.” she said before blushing as she let go of his hand.

Noticing the flush of her cheeks Legolas smiled inwardly at her shynessybe ybe it wouldn’t be as hard as thought, getting Rachel that is.

“Your room is lovely,” he said as he noticed the rather large bed in her room imagining them both sprawled across it. A forest green blanket with Tree designs sewn into it lie neatly on the bed. It looked rather comfortable, ‘I wouldn’t mind sleeping here tonight’ Legolas thought.

Watching Legolas stare at her bed Rachel could only imagine he was thinking the same thing as her, and she blushed again at the idea of him wanting her in such a way. Tapping the elf’s shoulder Rachel motioned for him to follow her to the bathroom.

A large oval formation, which he assumed to be the bathing area, lay against the back wall. A small piece of metal came out of the wall right above on end of the tub. A long metal tube with a strange circle head was at the end. It had black dots in the center and Legolas immediately though of some sort of torture device. “What is that?” he asked pointing to the strange contraption.

“Hmm, oh that’s the shower head.” Noting the confused look on his face, Rachel explained what a shower head was.

“This world is filled with so many strange yet convenient things,” Legolas said shaking his head. “And I’m suppose to stand here and water will spray down upon me like a waterfall?”

“Yes if you take a shower. But if you want to take a bath the water will fill up the tub instead.” Rachel said stepping past him trying to explain.

Leaning against the wall Legolas stared at the floor blankly. The scent of her perfume was too much and he felt his body respond so he turned from her focusing on the floor.

“Legolas what’s wrong?” she asked as she placed her hand on his shoulder.

Finally making up his mind Legolas went over to the door and closed it. Slowly walking towards her his mouth curling into a sensual smile as his eyes captured hers willfully.

“Forgive me,” he said huskily before pressing Rachel against the wall kissing her passionately, making love to her mouth with his tongue. She felt a tingle begin at the base of her spine and spread through her, filling her with undeniable need.

Relishing in the feel of him kissing her, she wrapped her arms around his neck giving into the desire that she had tried so hard to resist.

With expert hands he started removing her clothes, only pausing twice in his kiss, his hands were everywhere, caressing her hot flesh. Rachel was lost in the feel of his hands. He kissed her lips, her face, and her neck; the soft moans that escaped her lips fueled his hunger for her.

“I want you,“ he said, his voice seducing her more than his kiss; his eyes hooded and flashing with desire.

“Rachel!” Haldir called, causing Rachel to awake from the stupor Legolas had her in.

Looking up with clouded eyes his breathing as rapid as hers, Legolas mentally cursed his friend for interrupting him.

Staring into the eyes that wanted to ravish her willing body Rachel hesitantly slipped from Legolas’ grasp putting her clothes on as she walking back into her room. “I.. I’ll be there in a minute,” She called.

Heading back into her bathroom she avoided making eye contact with Legolas as she turned the shower on. “You know how this works so just turn this knob to the left when you’re done and I’ve placed a towel and some clothes on the counter for you to use.” She said.

Blocking the doorway, Legolas patiently waited for her to make eye contact with him, lifting he chin slowly, “Carter doesn’t deserve you,” he whispered before allowing her to proceed.

A.N: Will legolas kill haldir for interrupting him? Will shannon and haldir ever get along? please leave feedback.
