*at precisely twenty-three hundred hours, presents herself at Túrin's home, even though the two Noldorin princes have not yet been located*
*actually feels a little bad about not continuing the search all night but figures that if one of them survived as High King for thousands of years while the other managed to rain down death and destruction on an entire city, neither are likely to be raped, pillaged or murdered*
*holds out less confidence for the good people of Delving, however*
I'm fine but there's no sign of those damned children yet. Still, neither is there any sign of major or minor disturbances in Delving which is what usually happens when there are Noldor about.
*sighs and leans against you, slipping her arms around your waist*
*laughs* *stretches out on top of you so that she looks down at you*
*smilingly* Something about anything? Let me think. After you left my place the other day, I went for a long walk along Lake Mithrim. It was so peaceful that it felt as though you were still with me because that's how it feels, you know. *presses her chin against your chest* When you're nearby, I feel so calm but so excited too. Does that make sense? Am I talking rubbish again? I so am, I can tell.
*moves your hand onto his chest and rests his on top of it, his thumb stroking your wrist* *wraps his other arm around you firmly* If you're talking rubbish, I'll have to join you in therapy. Which is fine, really, if it'll keep you here...or take me there.
I feel so calm but so excited too
*rubs your back* *sounds almost sleepy, he's so comfortable* Mm. Makes perfect sense to me. But what do I know? I'm already half mad from missing you. You're here right now and I already miss you.
*peers at you, smiling* Well, for starters, I'm unbelievably good-looking. I'm also brilliant and pretty much the greatest warrior in the world. Then there's the fact that I'm charming and adorable. And modest. Or I'm just really, really lucky that you're so completely out of your mind. Don't ever let me wake up.
*trails his fingers up and down your arm* You amaze me every day. *luxuriates in the feeling of your whole body relaxed against him*
*laughs softly* It sounded way better when I said it. I suppose there's a first for everything.
You're the most beautiful...the kindest...the strongest...the dearest... You're everything I want. *tilts his head back at your touch, his eyelids fluttering closed* And...oh... *voices his pleasure with a low growl* I want. *reprovingly* Do you see what you do to me? *tightens his arms around you*
*softly kisses you* You don't know what to do? *kisses briefly* Stay with me. *kisses again, long, slow and deep* Kiss me. *kisses very lightly* Make love to me.
*finally pulls away and smiles at you, so close that her lips still brush against yours*
*laughs very quietly* *lies on her side and extends her forefinger*
*unerringly runs her fingertip lightly along your arm* *holds her breath and moves across stealthily to float a kiss on your palm -- and then on the crook of your elbow -- and then on your collarbone -- before lying back again*
*smiles to herself* *crawls back across and busies herself covering your chest with delicate kisses*
*takes advantage of your feigned sleep to thoroughly investigate (ie: kiss & touch) your body*
*doesn't say a word* *simply wonders how long it will take you to respond to the sensation of her lips grazing lightly over your abdomen and her fingertips gliding along your thighs*
*laughs against the skin at the crease of your thigh* *climbs slowly up the bed, one arm on either side of your body*
*leans down and kisses your lower lip, almost thoughtfully*
*lowers herself on top of you, draping herself over you* *lays down her head on your chest and listens to your heart-beating* *skates her fingertips over your outstretched palm*
*curls his fingers closed around yours, unable to resist the lure of your warmth*
*smooths your hair with his other hand, then lets his hand glide over your neck and down your back, down, down all the way to your thigh* *grips your leg tightly just below the curve of your buttock*
*lets go to reach between your body and his, his fingers sliding, parting your thighs the tiniest bit*
*laughs too* Oh, sweetheart. As if I have a choice.
*finds your center and begins rubbing you rhythmically, pressing his other hand against the small of your back, not wanting any space to part you from him*
*turns his head to watch your reactions as best he can in the dark, enjoying the quickness of your breaths and the sight of your tongue moistening your lips* *feels his pulse speed up as he imagines you feeling his arousal*
*gathers you into the crook of his arm possessively and kisses your forehead a little shakily*
*closes his eyes once he's caught his breath* *grins at the thought of how you'd laugh at him if you knew how earnestly he's trying to stop time right now*
