The Fourth Age (closed)

[KieranSoares]

Hearing his name called so sweetly in her moaning voice, Uther leaned over her to catch her lips in another of their passionate, searing kisses, and he picked up the pace at the same time, rocking her body back and forth with his own. He couldn't think of anything greater than this moment. Over time, he steadily increased his speed but never failed to reach as deep as he possibly could.

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve kissed Uther back, deepening the kiss. She ran her fingers through his hair as they kissed. She met his thrust with ones of her own, keeping up with his rhythm. She moaned as he steadily increased their speed, hitting her every time in just the right spot. Her breathing grew shallower as her pleasure grew. She tightened her legs around his waist as she ran her fingers down his back. The muscles in his back rippled with his every movement. She could feel herself tightening around his member. She broke from the kiss and moved to his ear, she nibbled on it lightly as whispered softly in elvish how wonderful this moment was.

 

[KieranSoares]

Uther knew he couldn't hold out long, and in an attempt to see that she had her own satisfaction too, his hands came to find two specific regions. Just below her navel, Uther laid his palm and applied a gentle pressure which gave her the sensation that she didn't have as much room to handle him, and increased the sensation of his thrusts doubly. His other hand found the sensitive little bud just ahead of her entrance and he massaged it in circles in time with his deep strokes.

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve's pleasure grew as Uther moved his hands to two different places. She writhed as she felt herself reaching her peak. It was unbelievable how wonderful this felt so far. She looked up snd watched Uther as he picked up the pace, causing her to moan louder. It was not long before her body began to shutter and she cried out in pleasure. It was a blinding pleasure she could not have fathomed.

 

[KieranSoares]

Uther pulled her body in tight, riding the wave of pleasure with her til his own caught him by surprise. With a deep, growling groan, his seed filled her belly and he wrapped an arm under her, burying his length inside her. As the intensity tapered off, he set his hands on the bed on either side of her, catching his breath, broad chest heaving.

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve clung on to Uther as she rode out her pleasure. Once it was over, she realized she was breathing heavy and felt completly spent. She looked up at Uther has he hovered over her, breathing as heavy she was. She smiled up at him as she tried to calm herself. She was not sure she could speak right now, all she could do was smile.

 

[KieranSoares]

Uther slowly pulled out from her, then laid down at her side with his arm around her middle, and his head on her shoulder while he caught his breath. After a few minutes, he muttered softly: "Thank you... you're... amazing."

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve rested her hand on his arm that was around her waist. She closed her eyes for a moment, her head was still reeling from their time together. She smiled as Uther spoke. She looked at him, his head on his shoulder. “I did not do much. So it is you that is amazing,” she said softly as her free hand played with his hair a bit. She drew in a deep breath and sighed happily.

 

[KieranSoares]

Uther lifted his head to kiss her once more, "Still... Eruve... I think I've fallen for you. And not just because of what we've just shared." He lifted his hand to her cheek and kissed her again, holding that kiss much longer.

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve kissed Uther back and smiled at him as he spoke. She was pretty sure she had fallen for him as well. Which she really would have never seen coming when she first met him. But after this short period of time she had found herself wanting to spend more and more time with him. She looked into his eyes as he cupped her cheek and kissed her again. She kissed him back tenderly. What they shared with very special to her and she was glad to know it was to him as well. She pulled back from the kiss and smiled at him, “Uther, I think I have fallen for you as well.”

 

[KieranSoares]

Uther couldn't help the joyous smile that touched his lips, and he laid one more kiss to her cheek. "Sleep, love... we've got a long way ahead of us." With his head coming to rest once more on her shoulder, he drew the blanket over their naked forms to protect against the cold of night.

 

[queenclaire]

The smile that Uther smiled made Eruve smile. It was such a charming, happy smile. It made his eyes light up and sparkle. She hoped to see it again. She nodded as his words, “Indeed. Goodnight Uther.” She closed her eyes and tried to rest her mind a bit. It was comforting having him next to her, feeling his warmth. It was nice to have one blissful night before many hard ones.

 

[KieranSoares]

Morning seemed to come at just the perfect time, the light of dawn awakening the pair gently and leaving them rested and refreshed. Uther carefully rose first, unsure if she was awake, and he quietly dressed. He paused before donning his shirt and came to sit at Eruve's side, looking down upon her beautiful face. He laid a hand on her cheek and leaned down to kiss her forehead.

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve’s eyes fluttered open as Uther laid a hand on her cheek and kissed a forehead. She smiled up at him and stretched in bed. “Good Morning, Uther.” It was a very good morning. She had rested well with Uther in her bed with her. “I suppose it is time to get up,” she said sadly, “Guess it would not be good if we stayed here all day.” She looked at him with a grin.

 

[KieranSoares]

"Nor if the others caught me in here, unless you want to endure teasing for the rest of the journey," Uther chuckled and rose, pulling on his tunic. "I'll see you outside." He leaned down to kiss her lips before slipping out, hoping to avoid the notice of the others in case any were awake already.

Luckily, none were. Legolas, Lexan, and Bheyard were next to awaken, and Miras and Gimli had to be shoved out of their makeshift beds. The little hobbits were awake, but had a hard time getting up so early.

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve kissed Uther back and watched him leave. She took her time getting dressed since everyone would be coming out at different times. She pulled back part of her hair, twisting it up and sticking two metal spikes in to keep it up. The other part fell down her back.

She finally made her way out of the hut, seeing that a few were out before her, but not many. She prepared herself for leaving and heading into the unknown. She was curious what was out there, but she was not curious to see who, if any, would die along the way.

 

[KieranSoares]

Soon, a group of the tall elves came with drakes for the group, taking their horses to care for them til they returned. The drakes were restless, ready to go. They were outfitted with long saddles and instead of a bridle with a bit, the bridle simply ringed the base of their snouts and looped behind their heads with the reins attached at the hinge of their jaws. Uther came to take his own, which was a black beauty with a silver underbelly, and he brought Eruve hers, which was a sapphire male with a bluish underbelly.

Once everyone was ready, they ventured out of the city and found the drakes to be incredibly fast and agile, mindful of their riders more so than horses were. Noises of the forest didn't bother them at all, seeing as they were predators. They'd been at a run for an hour straight when they came upon a rushing river. Uther pulled up his reins. "Damn... it's too strong a current to-" But his words were cut off as his drake waded right in. "Whoa! No, back!" Uther pulled back on the reins, but the drake kept going. Unlike a horse, the drake didn't sink. Instead, quite like an alligator or watersnake, she easily swam through and the current didn't drag her far nor did it push her down. They reached the opposite bank, and Uther was breathing heavily from the rush of adrenaline, thinking he was about to be swept away. The other drakes followed suit without command.

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve took the reins from Uther as he brought her a drake. He was a beautiful creature. She loved his colouring. She patted his head and spoke softly to him, getting a good bond with him. She soon mounted him and followed along with the group out of the protection of the elven city. The drakes covered much more ground than the horses would have. She watched their surrounding as they passed. You could not be too careful out here. Once they hit the river, she was amazed at how the drakes could cross with no problem. She wondered what else they could do that would help them along their way. The drakes were quite handy.

 

[KieranSoares]

The drakes soon proved just what they were capable of elsewise, when they reached a short cliffside and the drakes didn't stop. Digging clawtips into tiny holds and cracks, the drakes began to climb. The saddles were outfitted with special stirrups for this so that the riders could actually stand on the saddle while they were carried up. Uther chuckled at this, "Why don't we have any of these in Rohan?" When they reached the top of the cliff, a vast highland stretched before them, dotted here and there by trees. It was green as emerald and the air was clean as the river that ran through the island. Uther found his breath taken away.

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve was amazed at what the drakes did to get up the cliff. It really did cut down on their time. She wondered how long it would really take to get where they had to with the drakes. She watched the ground below get further and further away as they went up. She had never had a problem with heights and quite enjoyed them.

Once at the top of a cliff, the drake Eruve was riding stopped next to Uther’s drake. She looked out at the vast land before them. “Beautiful,” she said as she took it in.

 

[KieranSoares]

Uther smiled and leaned over, whispering softly in her ear, "Not half as beautiful as you." With that, he nudged his drake onwards. The highlands gave way to forest after a few hours, and by the end of the day, they'd covered the ground in one day that a horse would cover in two and a half. Legolas climbed up a tall oak and looked out over the land.

He called down: "I can see a canyon, like Garrogan mentioned! We'll make it there before noon tomorrow if we keep up our pace!"

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve smiled as Uther whispered in her ear. She shook her head slightly in amusement. Not only was he a great leader and warrior, but a charmer as well. She appreciated his words though. They meant a lot to her.

Once they reached the forest she realized how much ground they had covered in a short time. There was no way their horses would have done this. She really liked the drakes and she had taken to talking to hers, getting a good bond with it. It was always good to have a loyal creature be one’s side. She was happy to hear that they would be able to reach the canyon by mid-day tomorrow. Though the deeper they got in, the more of a threat they would become and perhaps be attacked a lot more.

 

[KieranSoares]

As they all gathered round the fire that night, Gimli was telling another of his usual stories, but when Uther joined them, he paused. "So, lad, where were ya last night?"

Uther looked up, "... What do you mean?"

"I came out 'round midnight, couldn't find ya."

"Oh, I went to the pond nearby." Uther lied casually, and Gimli was none the wiser.

"What were ya doin'?"

"Exploring, I couldn't sleep."

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve sat around the fire with the men, listening to the tales that Gimli so wonderfully told. She loved how animated he got when telling them. She sat on the ground, leaning against a fallen tree. She looked relaxed, but was ever alert. She watched as Uther joined the group and Gimli questioned his disappearance last night. She watched to see how Uther would handle it. She was certain he could. She looked to Gimli, who seemed to accept the answer, “Could you not sleep, my dear Gimli?”

 

[KieranSoares]

"Ah, lass, I always wake up 'round midnight fer a while, nothin' t'be worried about." Gimli assured her.

The hobbits were the first to turn in, soon followed by the dwarves and the prince, and before it became too late, the rest went as well. That was when Uther came to Eruve's side and settled there, leaning over to kiss her ever so gently.
