He let out a slight gasp of pleasure as she bit him. Slipping out of his pants and lowering hers, he threw the cloak over them both as he began to nuzzle her neck and move atop her.
Gripping her sides tighter, he nudged both her legs to encircle his waist.

She was gasping for breath now, and she gripped his waist with both her legs, moving with him, meeting him. She kissed an nibbled his ear, and sighed his name while he nuzzled her neck. One hand went to rest on his hip, and the other became tangled in his hair. Her senses were whirling like crazy, only him, only her Niko could do this to her. And she knew he could never be replaced by another.

He was building quickly now, getting closer by the second. Circling an arm around her back her brought her closer to him, pressing himself to her, while the other hand found the back of her head, lost in her hair as he gently began to move faster.
Niko gasped her name in between kisses he put to her lips.

Her grip tightened on him, her desire only heightened by his voice gasping her name. Climbing higher and higher, she could only move faster with him, the desire ran hot in her blood. she heard herself moaning his name even as he moaned hers, and her body was his entirely. They were one, their passions and desires grew as one. She could feel him grow closer, and she herself moved up with more power, then felt herself reach her release. Her breath caught, helpless to the onslaught of euphoria and ecstasy that gripped her.

Niko's eyes rolled back at what his body was feeling. He didn't remember where they were or what they had been doing, all he could see, think and feel was their bodies moving together as they both sought their ecstasy.
Nienna had finally found hers, and soon after Niko found his as he grasped her to him, his body jerked slightly as he lay his head on her chest, still breathing heavily.
He knew there would never be a better feeling.

She could think of no words to say. The wind cooled her damp forehead, and she clasped Niko to her, her chest heaving as she sought the breath that had evaded her. The pure delight she felt would never end while she was with him, she knew that.

Niko began to kiss her lips. Then he lowered to her chest and right the way down until he reached between her legs, which he kissed tenderly.This was not out of lust but of love, he felt himself overcome by his love for his wife.
''Le melon, angel'' he said, placing another tender kiss.

_________________

She was overcome by the love and tenderness he was showing her, and she smiled softly as unshed tears of joy filled her eyes. Meeting his gaze, she saw the love he had for her, and it matched her own. "Le melon, my king." she whispered

He smiled at her words, still swallowed by the moment. He kissed her again, knowing full well he could never truly show her how much her loved her.
Niko sat up and at length spoke.
''Shall we return home? To our home. I would like to have you all to myself.''
Our home. It sounded like music to his ears, he finally had a place with someone he truly loved.

She smiled "Yes, I believe we should return to our home." to think she had a home with him! It was beautiful. Although as she looked at him, she knew the only home she would ever need was his arms. Because to her, his arms felt like home. "but," she slipped back into her riding pants,"we must drag this deer along with us. She removed her arrows and cleaned them, then used the rope she had and tied the two front feet together and the two back feet together, then attached a rope from the back feet to the saddle. She kissed her husband before mounting Raven and grinning at him.

He followed suit and mounted his horse after making sure they had everything. Nodding, he set his horse at a steady speed and made their way back to Rivendell.
''When we return'' he called to her. ''i would have you play me a song with your flute, if you would be so kind''
Niko wasn't sure why but he felt in the mood to hear her music.

She smiled, "I think I could do that." in truth, she longed tonplay her flute again. When they got back, she let the elves take care of the deer while she and Niko went back to their home. She retrieved her flute and began to play a lively tune on it, once again she was lost in the music.

Niko sat and listened to her music. She truly had a talent for it. He enjoyed listening to her play, and how she seemed to light up as she put the flute to her lips.
He remembered how she had reacted when he had given her the flute. It made him glad to see how happy she was and still was with his gift to her. It made everything worth while.

She changed the tune into one of more mystery. One that spoke of the deepest emotions felt by every creature. Of love and hate, joy, sorrow, peace and fear. The music took her on wings to other places, with things she could never hope to see unless she played her music. Her flute was precious to her, because Niko had made it. She led the music slowly fade away on a minor note, and she held the flit in her lap, her eyes still closed.

Listening to her music, his mind began wondering, thinking of this and that as the music met his ears.
He listened to her second tune and enjoyed it, in an odd way he found it fitting for them. As she stopped he just sat and watched her, her eyes still closed. He had no desire to break whatever thoughts she was having.

Her thoughts turned to her father, and suddenly it seemed like a vision. He was crying. Bent over his desk, crying. Her brows furrowed. Then she saw what it was he held in his hands. It was one of her old corn husk dolls she use to make and play with. This one was the one she made after herself. She bent her head as the vision faded. Inside she began mourning. She had not known what this would do to her father.
