"I...yes...certainly.." she was distracted by his gaze, and the feel of his hand on her leg. She blinked. What was she doing? Surely he was tired and wanted a break from her. She blinked again and stood, walking to the fireplace. She put her hands on the mantel and leaned against it, her upper body bent over it.

Niko watched her as she moved away, his eyes grew as she bent over the fireplace.
He laughed and stood up. Walking over to her he pressed himself to her bottom.
''Is this what you desire, seeing as you are blatantly trying to seduce me?''
His hands once again found the inside of her legs and began to trace circles before coming to a stop between them. Niko pressed his fingers and began to move them slightly.

She gasped "I just thought," she moaned as his fingers moved "I thought you were tired and," she gasped again,"And you would want a break." her hands tightened on the mantel. "Niko!" she gasped out, her hips moved on their own it seemed.

''It is true, love. I am tired. But I think I have enough energy for you before I go back to sleep.''
His fingers deepened and his other hand moved to stroke her leg, then her behind, then back to her leg. He pressed himself closer to her.
''If you are not in the mood, it's understandable.''

She gasped "Don't stop!" she could only moan out as she moved back towards him. Her breath grew quicker. Her knees grew weak and she gripped the fireplace mantel.

He continued as she asked him to, his fingers moving for her every pleasure. He turned her neck and kissed her, his fingers still moving wildly.
Niko could tell she was enjoying it it was evident in her posture. His other hand found her thigh and moved her legs slightly wider apart as his fingers continued relentlessly.

She cried out his name, she was climbing quickly. Her hips moved against his hand. "Niko!" she cried out again. She needed him. Her hand moved back and found his chest.

Niko's hands found her waist as he turned her around and began kissing her.
He lifted her up by her behind and laid her on the bed. Tracing a line from her lips to her belly he began to kiss, lick and bite as he lowered himself so his head lay between her thighs.
He pressed his face down, his tongue taking over as it moved to bring her her release.He grasped her thighs, enjoying the feel as they tightened around his neck.
Niko moved his tongue in different ways until he found the way that she responded to best. Smiling inwardly, he continued, his pace rising as he went.

Her body tightened and her hands found his head, pressing him to her. She murmured his name, her pleasure twisting through her. Her hips moved to meet him, an her back arched. She could feel it getting closer. Her fingers stiffened in his hair, and she cried out his name as her release found her. She fell back, breathing heavily.

He smiled as he tasted her. Niko pressed down a firm kiss before going to lay next to her, exhausted. He pulled the covers over them both and pulled her so her head lay on his shoulder.
Kissing her head, he spoke. ''Le melon, angel.You're safe.''

Still short on breath, she draped a leg over his waist. She was sedated and happy. "Le melon, Le hannon." her arm fell across his chest, and her hand lay on his other shoulder. She got as close as she could to him, and felt the warmth of him and the blanket to soon be a sweet sensation that was putting her to sleep. Her body hummed happily still from his attentions, and it was like a cloud of euphoria. She floated a bit before her eyes dropped closed and she once again fell asleep.

His hand went protectively over her back, keeping her close to him, while the other went to keep her leg over his waist taking comfort from the warmth and closeness of their entwined bodies. There was no feeling like it.
Niko began to stroke her thigh lovingly as he thought about everything that had happened. They had been crowned king and queen of Rivendell, Nienna had been kidnapped, Niko had saved her and now they were back in their home safe. He couldn't help but look at her and place a light kiss on her head. His life had changed so much since she had entered his life. All for the better he thought as Niko began to drift off to sleep, his hand laying limp on her thigh.

She murmured and sighed in her sleep as her dreams became confusing. She saw Niko, an then he turned his back to her. She called out yet he did not respond. She reached out to him, and he faded from her view. In his place there was a mirror, in it she saw her face, but it hardly looked like her face. It was scarred beyond recognition. She gasped and shot up, sitting upright in bed.

Niko woke, sensing something wrong. Looking, he saw Nienna, sitting up with a worried expression on her face.
Reaching for her, he spoke in a hushed tone. ''Love, what's wrong?''
There was no one else in the room. Did she have a nightmare?

_________________

She slowly laid down into his arms. "It was just a dream." her mouth tightened. "Just a dream." her eyes remained fixed on the ceiling. It was from what Elanor had said about the scars. Nienna's hand and fingers traced the scars she had absentmindedly.

He cradled her to him as she lay down. Noting how she touched her scars he took her hand away and pressed his lips to her knuckles.
''It was a dream. You are safe''
He guessed it may have something to do with Elanor but that wasn't his concern. He just wanted to comfort her the way she had comforted him so many times.
