Legolas asked as he hastily grasped Boromir's head and plunged into a passionate kiss. Taken by surprise by this stormy attack, the human warrior began to sway a little but instantly found himself steadied by a tight embrace. "Aragorn..." Boromir breathed into the fiery kiss as he closed his arms around his lover's slim figure to catch him in an equally strong hug. "He saw how I wanted to sneak after you and kept asking questions. I had to make something up so he would let me go." "I'm glad you're here now," Legolas replied in a heated whisper and ran his hands down Boromir's back to grab his firm buttocks and pull the human's groin against his own. "I think he suspects something," Boromir muttered and then groaned faintly when Legolas stroked the tip of his tongue along the warrior's upper lip. "Have you not noticed that he started to keep a wary eye on you ever since you hollered my name? I fear he assumes that I caused you serious harm that day, or worse, tried to kill you... He doesn't trust me." "Boromir, please," the elf said and drew Boromir's lower lip between his teeth to gently nibble on it for a second. "I don't want to talk about Aragorn now. We have only a little time together. Let us not waste it with discussions about him." Boromir didn't need to be told twice. In less than a second, Aragorn was forgotten and he fully concentrated on resuming their wild kissing. Their mouths linked in such a turbulent and consuming way that their teeth clicked together and the elf's soft lips were cruelly irritated by Boromir's rough stubble. The human warrior knew that Legolas wasn't frail, and this very moment he was more than grateful for this circumstance. He just needed to feel Legolas' body crushed against his, he needed to grab him, hard, to mark him with bruising caresses and possessive kisses. It had been quite some time since their last encounter at the river. Many days had passed in which the two of them had only cast meaningful gazes at each other, maybe traded a quick and discreet touch when they thought nobody was looking. Far too many days, Boromir thought as he felt liquid fire surge through his veins and throbbing tension settle between his legs. Desperate for a more intimate connection, Boromir ground his hips into Legolas' with a low, guttural sound that vibrated from his throat into the warm cave of the archer's mouth. He felt the elf's hands slide from his buttocks all the way up his back and then clamp around his shoulders with significant pressure, but he just couldn't stop himself from rubbing his growing erection against his lover. "Kneel down, Boromir," Legolas urged while his hands pushed harder onto the broad, strong shoulders, attempting to motion the warrior to the ground. The human detached from Legolas' lips reluctantly and opened his eyes to look at the archer for a short moment. To see the beautiful elven face glisten with pure desire was so enticing that he couldn't help slamming their lips together again with such haste that Legolas moaned at the gruff assault on his mouth, half in pleasure and half in discomfort. Boromir tried to dart his tongue past the archer's lips, but Legolas pulled back and quickly placed a hand over the human's throat to keep him from following. He was attentive to not throttle his lover, but there was enough pressure behind his grasp that he felt the man's pulse hammer against his fingers. Boromir didn't do anything to free himself from the unpleasant lock of Legolas' hand but tolerated it in silence. He stared at the elf with passion in his eyes, waiting, broad chest heaving. "On your knees, son of Gondor," Legolas repeated his demand with a tone in his voice that made clear he wouldn't accept contradictions. Without saying a word, Boromir backed away, slipping out of the elf's resolute grasp on his neck, turned around and sank down on one knee. While he lowered himself, his fingers fumbled at his belt in order to expose his rear before getting down on all fours and allowing Legolas to ravish him senseless, but he hadn't even managed to snap the heavy clasp open when he felt the elf's strong hand on his back. "No," the archer said simply, slid his hand up to Boromir's broad shoulder and squeezed gently. Confused, Boromir straightened up again and turned back to Legolas to look at him wonderingly. "I thought..." the warrior began perplexed, then paused to clear his throat when he noticed that his voice was more than hoarse from his craving. "You thought wrong," Legolas replied. "You don't want me?" Boromir asked bluntly, his voice as well as his eyes revealing huge dismay. For a moment, he seriously believed that Legolas wanted to quit their intimate relationship and go on as nothing more than comrades again. The archer smiled at the concerned facial expression that showed plainly on the human's face which he quickly framed with tender hands. "Nonsense," the elf said gently and bent forward to present his human lover with the deepest and most loving of kisses. Legolas ran his hands from Boromir's face to the small of his back in order to enclose the man in an affectionate embrace. He felt how the strong body went weak from his touch, how the human melted under the hot, demanding elven lips. It always amazed him which massive effects he had on the tenacious, rough warrior. "I want you, Boromir. More than anything," the archer explained once the impassioned kiss subsided, another tiny smile gracing his features when he saw the genuine relief on the man's face. He placed one more soft kiss on the human's lips, slowly, carefully. The next sentence came out in nothing more than a whisper that softly brushed warm air against Boromir's longing mouth, sending small shivers of need down the human's spine. "But your fair body has more than just one opening, hasn't it?" Boromir only stared numbly when he realised what exactly Legolas was suggesting. Before he had the opportunity to decide whether or not he wanted to do this, or actually could do this, the elf pulled him from his thoughts with his melodic yet commanding voice. "Down now, Boromir." The human obeyed without hesitating, without thinking. He lowered himself on his knees in front of the elf who stood completely still and didn't give a single reaction, not even when Boromir started to slowly reveal his lover's flawless body. Gingerly, almost as if unwrapping a fragile gift that would be ruined if handled too harsh, Boromir opened Legolas' belt and slid it from the slim waist. After discarding it to the ground, he lifted his hands to the elven tunic and slowly pushed the fabric up, exposing a flat and pale stomach. He cast a quick gaze up to Legolas and when he didn't see any signs of disapproval on the archer's fair features, he closed his eyes and leaned into his lover's body. When he lay his face against the creamy skin and planted a loving kiss right next to Legolas' navel, the elf quickly lowered one of his hands on Boromir's head and plunged long fingers into the human's messy hair to hold him against his yearning body. Boromir's hands found Legolas' hips and held him gently while he placed a trail of tender kisses and nips that contrasted sharply to the scraping of his short beard. The human breathed deeply through his nose while he rubbed his face against his partner's belly, inhaling the sweet, unique scent the archer's smooth skin emitted. As his mind slowly turned to haze from the intoxicating fragrance, his tongue slipped out from between his moving lips and snaked along firm pectoral muscles that twitched faintly from the combined sensations of moist caresses and rough scratches. When the luscious aroma that filled his nostrils also flooded Boromir's mouth, exploding on his sensitive tastebuds, he hooked his fingers with the waistband of Legolas' pants and tugged them down briskly until the garment made a crumpled bundle at the elf's booted feet. Legolas didn't make the effort to sweep it aside and Boromir didn't seem to care since his hands didn't waste any more time on his lover's clothes but were up at the archer's now naked hips again in a matter of seconds. While he circled his tongue around Legolas' navel in small, teasing rotations, occasionally dipping it into the tiny pit, his fingers travelled from the slim hips to the centre of the elf's lust. Legolas' member was swelling but not fully aroused yet. With the intention to stroke him to complete hardness, Boromir closed his right hand around the semi- erect shaft of his lover, but before he could begin with the stimulating caresses, Legolas' hand twisted in his hair and the archer voiced another request. "Use your mouth," he breathed, somewhat impatiently. Boromir obediently withdrew his hand, swallowing nervously. He was a little worried that he would embarrass himself, maybe even fail horribly, after all Legolas had had more than enough lovers he could compare Boromir's skills to, and the human warrior was sure that he couldn't match one of them on this particular territory. On the other hand he was extremely curious, and the thought of tasting Legolas in such an intimate way was breathtakingly exciting. Boromir shifted a little to find a steadier position and raised his hands to put them on the back of Legolas' thighs, but as soon as his palms and fingers made contact with the smooth skin, the elf brushed them of resolutely. "Only your mouth, Boromir. No touching." The man from Gondor complied, reluctantly at first, but when he guided his head a little deeper and felt the heat of Legolas' groin radiate against his face, he lost the ability to think clearly and forgot all concerns. He darted out his tongue and experimentally lapped at the tip of Legolas' length, simultaneously closing his eyes again to concentrate only on the feel, taste and scent of the elf. Legolas' hands wound themselves into Boromir's hair again, and when they encouragingly pulled his head closer, the human opened his mouth wider and took his lover in completely. The intense aroma he was confronted with wasn't bad or repellent at all, but neither was it the most delicious thing Boromir had ever come across. It was somewhat salty, but luckily to a quite bearable degree, and the mere thought that it was the elf's cock he was relishing was everything it needed to make it an arousing experience. The half erected shaft neatly fit itself into the cave of his mouth, but when Boromir started to suck gently, the flesh quickly swelled to full extent. The solid shaft pressed hard and hot against Boromir's coy tongue and the back of his throat, and the human thought that if it grew any more he would be very likely to choke. He paused for a moment to get used to the unknown sensation, and Legolas waited silently, granting him the time he needed. Finally, Boromir took a slow, deep breath through his nose, and when he let the air stream out again he simultaneously started to move his tongue around Legolas' erection in slow, testing circles. He explored it thoroughly, running the tip of his tongue along every millimetre of scorching flesh, giving generous attention to every curve, slit and even section. When Boromir flicked his tongue over the tiny rift at the tip of Legolas' length, he heard the elf moan quietly. He repeated the motion but this time applied a little more pressure to the intimate stroke and was immediately rewarded by a more uncontrolled, somewhat louder gasp. Animated by the low, soft pants that escaped from the elf's mouth every now and then, Boromir's self-confidence grew and he got more creative and intense with his services. Despite the great care and effort he put into his actions, he just knew that he wasn't really a natural talent, but the elf didn't complain. Legolas tried his best to guide Boromir with his hands, either urging him to go faster or slowing him down. While Boromir's hips had moved expertly when he had taken Legolas the other day, his oral ministrations were, to a modest extent, uncoordinated. His motions were either a little too harsh or too soft, his tongue a little too quick or too slow, and there was no scheme to it at all. But exactly this unpredictability added a very thrilling element to the situation. Legolas never knew what Boromir would do next. When he expected him to fervidly swirl his tongue around his aching flesh, Boromir placed the gentlest of kisses on the tip of his swollen member, and when he thought he would present him with a tender caress of his soft lips, the human instead gulped him in and sucked him hard. A throaty groan wrenched itself from Legolas when Boromir grazed his teeth along his solid shaft. To his great disappointment, the human let him slip out of his pleasantly warm and moist mouth and looked up at him with concern in his eyes. "Did I hurt you?" Boromir asked in a low voice and gently placed his right hand on Legolas' left calf. "No," the archer breathed, his voice shivering with raw lust. "No, that was wonderful. Please continue." While he again enveloped Legolas' hard-on with eager lips, Boromir lifted also his second hand to the archer's body, and this time the elf did not protest. He let his fingers travel up the elf's slim but strong legs, his palms sliding up firm, long calves in a tender caress, passing the heavenly soft hollows of the archer's knees, reaching solidly muscled thighs. For a moment he lingered there and focused only on pleasuring Legolas with his mouth. Boromir could hear the archer's breathing vary erratically from deep, heavy inhalations to quick, noisy pants, depending on how intense he worked on him. When the elf finally voiced constant, rhythmic moans of sheer delight, Boromir moved his hands further up. He placed them on Legolas' smooth buttocks and pulled him even closer to his face, deeper into his mouth, simultaneously sucking a little more intensly. Legolas' long legs started to tremble slightly, threatening to give way, and his groans became louder, almost desperate. Satisfied with this strong reaction, Boromir stroked one fingertip along the elf's cleft, hastily searching for the narrow entrance to his partner's body. He found it quickly, dove in with a rapid but heedful motion, and Legolas' hissed out his enjoyment. The archer's legs buckled, and he had to move his hands from Boromir's head to claw them into the man's shoulders in order to maintain his balance. The human felt Legolas' weight press into him as the elf leaned on his shoulders for support, and somehow he was heavier than Boromir would have expected. But under the given circumstances it was a very welcome burden to bear. Eliciting wanton sighs and heated murmurs from the elf, Boromir groped his way to sensitive areas inside the ethereal body. The intensity of his oral efforts never ceased, not even when he tried hard to find the special spot that would make Legolas see stars dance in front of his eyes. To facilitate his search, he soon added a second finger and slid both fingertips along the slick, hot inner skin that flexed under the soft pressure of his intimate touch. Suddenly the hands on his shoulders gripped violently, pressing fingertips through his cloak into his skin. A quick convulsion rippled through the elf, accompanied by a long groan of relief, and before Boromir realised that Legolas was coming already, he climaxed into the warrior's mouth. Legolas' essences spurted over the human's tongue, the inside of his cheeks and the back of his throat in powerful and long gushes. The creamy body fluid was thick and hot, somewhat bitter and extremely salty. Boromir pulled back out of reflex, but swallowed. "I'm sorry, I should have warned you," Legolas panted as he watched his lover lifting a hand to his mouth in struggle with an unpleasant combination of nausea and a fit of coughing. "No, I'm fine," Boromir replied a little breathlessly when his senses had calmed down again. Legolas pulled up his pants as the human continued speaking. "I just hope you enjoyed it, I wouldn't fancy the idea that I did this for nothing." As a response, Legolas laughed lightly, ran his hand through Boromir's hair devotedly and bent down to kiss him on his mouth that was still slippery with traces of the elf's liquids. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aragorn was restless. This was already the third time that Legolas and Boromir didn't spend the intermission of their journey with the others at the campsite and the Ranger was getting worried. He hesitated for quite some time but finally couldn't stand the bad feeling in his stomach anymore. He excused himself and went to look for his comrades. He didn't have to search long, though. He soon could hear low noises, as if somebody was whimpering or groaning in pain, and immediately knew that the voice belonged to his friend Legolas. With growing anxiety, the ranger quickened his pace, but before he reached his companions the low sounds so full of emotion stopped. Aragorn arrived just in time to see Legolas turn away from Boromir who was kneeling on the ground. When he was noticed, Legolas just looked at him with no expression on his features at all while the man from Gondor quickly dropped his head, one of his hands shooting to his face. With a frown on his forehead and narrowed eyes, Aragorn witnessed how Boromir swiftly scrambled to his feet and in the abrupt motion wiped the back of his hand over his mouth hastily. "What is happening here?" Aragorn wanted to know. "Nothing," Boromir said with a firm but tense voice, turned away and headed back to camp without losing one more word. "Legolas, he didn't do you harm," Aragorn said in his elven comrade's native tongue, "did he?" "Nay," Legolas answered in a clipped manner. "Did you two fight again?" Legolas looked at Aragorn, his eyes wide in astonishment for a second. He almost laughed out loud at the man's question, but managed to control himself and keep a straight face. "You do not need to know everything, Estel," he told his friend. "Can't an elf have some privacy?" Baffled, Aragorn watched Legolas walk away until he vanished behind a group of trees. He stared after him for almost a full minute, then gave a snorting sound of disbelief. Legolas keeping things secret from him? Things that, of all people, Boromir obviously knew about, or maybe even was involved in? This was ridiculous. The ranger let his gaze wander over the spot he was standing on in search for something, anything, that would maybe help him see through it all. He found only one single thing, so simple yet brutally significant. Aragorn gritted his teeth as he tried to control his body that was bringing shame on him by reacting to his discovery and the colourful images that came with it. In the grass lay forgotten Legolas' belt. Chapter 2 Even before Aragorn arrived at the campsite, the sound of light-hearted laughter and metal blades clashing playfully reached his ears. When the resting fellowship was finally in his sight he saw that his assumption had been correct - Boromir was again trying to teach the hobbits how to attack and parry with their swords. Aragorn was glad the man from Gondor was so caught up in his tutoring efforts - or pretended to be so - that he didn't look over to see the ranger approaching Legolas, who sat a little aside, on a great rock. As soon as he stood on the stony surface, next to the elf, whose gaze was aimed at the horizon, he wordlessly dropped the belt right into his friend's lap and waited for a reaction. "Thank you," Legolas said calmly and slowly wrapped the belt around his waist. Aragorn stared down at him, speechless for a second. "That's all you've got to say?" he asked when he found his tongue again. "Thank you?" "I'm not blind, Legolas," Aragorn continued when the archer didn't respond. "I can distinguish bruises from love bites." Finally, Legolas gazed up at his human comrade and Aragorn could have sworn that there had been a tiny grin on the fair face, if only for a split second. "A love bite is but a bruise," Legolas replied matter-of-factly while Aragorn sat down next to him. "You know what I mean," Aragorn said, to his own surprise with a much harsher tone than he had intended to. "And this," the ranger added with a lower, more controlled voice and grabbed his comrade's chin to tilt his head to the side, exposing the delicate, long curve of his pale neck, "is a very impressive love bite, my friend." "Since I can't look at my own neck I can't judge, but I think it must be very impressive indeed, regarding how greatly it annoys you," Legolas pointed out, freeing his chin from Aragorn's rough fingers. He moved his head in a way that made some of his hair fall to the front, down his chest, some light strands hiding the spot on his neck where Boromir obviously had marked him with his affection mere moments ago. He was glad that it would be gone in very short time again, thanks to his origin. Compared to humans, his elven body recovered stunningly fast. "I'm not annoyed," Aragorn said through gritted teeth. "Yes you are." "No," the ranger denied and silently scolded himself. Not only did he spy on one of his best friends, now he started to lie directly into his face too. How low could he get? "I'm only... worried." "Worried? About what?" "About you of course. Boromir is a noble man, but he easily loses control over himself." "What exactly is it you're suggesting?" Legolas asked, slightly arching one of his eyebrows. "I just don't want him to be consumed and corrupted by his emotions. I don't want you to suffer from his... lack of self-control." To his surprise, Legolas couldn't suppress a faint chuckle. "I don't want to speak ill of Boromir's skills, after all he is a very strong and able warrior among his - your - kind, but do you seriously think he could overpower me? No, that is very unlikely. Don't fret, friend. Trust me, your concerns are wasted here." "I didn't speak of physical harm, Legolas. There are other ways to hurt somebody," Aragorn said gently, causing Legolas to avoid his gaze by turning his face towards the horizon again. A mild breeze played with his golden hair, tousling long strands so silky and soft that the ranger almost sighed out loud at their beauty. Even for Aragorn, who was betrothed to the prettiest elven maiden upon the whole of middle-earth, it was easy to understand why Boromir felt drawn to Legolas. The wind was gone again in a short moment, and Aragorn watched in amazement as Legolas' hair fell straight again, miraculously cascading into the right places all on its own, perfectly orderly. "Boromir is a man of high status and power," the human continued in a low voice. "He is used to being admired by many, and I am sure he is well experienced in taking what he wants and then, after growing tired of it, dropping it without remorse." "Maybe you think wrong of him," Legolas said. "Maybe. But maybe not." "You don't know him." "Neither do you," Aragorn snapped, his voice still low yet with a sharp undertone. "You sound not only vexed, but also jealous." "That's ridiculous." "Is it?" Legolas asked and Aragorn was embarrassed to feel the heat of a blush creep over his face. He hoped the elf would misinterpret the reddening of his cheeks as a flush of anger. "Do you want to risk being used, like some toy, and then being discarded after you satisfied his needs?" Aragorn continued, ignoring his comrade's teasing question. "Did it occur to you that maybe it is Boromir who's the toy here?" Legolas asked and shifted his gaze back to his human companion. He was content to see that the ranger was puzzled. "Maybe you should think about that possibility for a while before you continue giving me advice on this matter," the elf said and raised to his feet in a fluid, swift movement. "Excuse me, I'm going to have my meal." "Sure," Aragorn muttered, still perplexed by his friend's unexpected remark. While he watched Legolas joining Gimli and Gandalf at the campfire, his thoughts still revolving around the elf's last words, he suddenly felt an uncomfortably penetrating stare boring right through him. Out of reflex he turned his head, and his eyes instantly locked with Boromir's. The man from Gondor abruptly tore his gaze away the moment he realised Aragorn had noticed that he was watching him. The visual contact between them had lasted for less than a second, but it had been long enough for Aragorn to see the emotions flicker in the other man's eyes. And the expression he had discovered there promised nothing good. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After another long and exhausting march during which Aragorn avoided talking to either Legolas or Boromir, the fellowship set up camp for the night. It was Gimli's turn to keep watch first. Aragorn noticed that Legolas moved to lie down next to Boromir for the first time since they had started travelling. The two of them had usually rested on the very opposite sides of the camp. The ranger watched them for a while, but nothing happened. They just lay next to each other, not even glancing at one another for the briefest of moments. Boromir, worn out from the strain and toil of their exhausting journey, fell asleep quickly, and Aragorn soon followed suit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boromir slowly woke from his deep slumber when he felt something, or rather someone, groping his way inside his pants. He was pretty shocked to suddenly feel a hand closing over his quickly swelling length and would have gasped if there hadn't been a second, more resolute hand sealing his mouth. Boromir wanted to move and wind himself out of the lock of the strong hands that held him captive, but quickly found out that he was trapped. He was enveloped in a rigid, intimate embrace from behind, his body captured in the tight lock of very determined arms. "Shhh," a soft voice whispered, so very close to the nape of his neck that the hot breath of Boromir's nightly visitor caressed the sensitive skin, causing the fine hair there to stir. His mouth was released and the hand that had covered his lips came to rest on Boromir's heaving chest. The nimble fingers inside his clothes didn't waste any time and caressed him to full hardness within seconds. "Legolas," Boromir muttered as low as he could, a feeble protest against the intimate ministrations he was presented with. "Be still," the elf whispered in return and pressed his body closer to Boromir's back. "But -" "Quiet," Legolas cut Boromir's words and gently kissed the outer line of the human's ear. "You pleased me greatly today. Please allow me to return the favour." "But the others..." Boromir managed to breathe and then choked back a groan that tried to make its way out of his mouth when Legolas squeezed his erection a little tighter. "...are sound asleep," Legolas finished the sentence. "It's my turn to keep watch. Now hush and let us seize the opportunity as long as everybody else is resting." Boromir didn't reply and Legolas took his silence as permission to proceed. After performing some firm and constant strokes that made Boromir's breathing turn heavier, he loosened the hard grip until only his fingertips were touching his lover's solid member. Slowly, he let them dance over the hot, silky skin, barely making contact, from tip to base and back, again and again, until Boromir was trembling from the teasing. With deliberate tenderness, the archer ran his fingers up the human's shaft one more time and then lingered at the head of his arousal. There he paused and held completely still, his fingertips resting on smooth, scorching skin. Legolas allowed himself to close his eyes for a moment and concentrate just on the feel of his lover's form in his arms. He loved the way the vigorous body raised in his embrace, with every deep breath Boromir took. He loved the way the hard curve of Boromir's bottom pressed itself into his lap, the arched line of the warriors backside perfectly fitting into the bend of Legolas' own body. He loved the spicy, manly fragrance the human emitted and the way it always seemed to get somewhat more intense when Boromir was aroused. He even heard, felt his lover's heartbeats, so strong and fast... Legolas wouldn't have minded lying like this for a little longer, but Boromir didn't seem to share his thought. Desperate for release, the human angled his hips in an attempt to push himself into the stimulating lock of Legolas' hand. In need of harder friction, Boromir began to move, forcing the elf's hand to join into a steady rhythm. A tiny sigh escaped Legolas' lips when Boromir's buttocks rubbed over his groin, and his own growing desire made him pick up pace to stroke his quaking lover to fulfilment. Not yet satisfied with the intensity of the archer's ministrations, Boromir shoved one hand into his trousers and clamped it over Legolas' much more delicate one, directing the archer's fist into a tighter grip. He knew he was rough and also egoistic, it was almost as if he was using Legolas' hand as some sort of masturbation device, but he couldn't help it. Here, in the middle of the sleeping fellowship, he felt too uncomfortable to really enjoy and relish Legolas' caresses, but the elf's touch was too good and stimulating to just stop and ignore it. He wanted this to come to an end as quickly as possible and was relieved to feel that he was very close already. Determined to reach climax with the next few strokes, Boromir squeezed Legolas' hand a little harder, simultaneously guiding it up and down his straining member with more force, but then froze in his movement when there came a strange sound from the opposite side of their camp. Frodo... Holding Legolas' hand, his own erection and also his breath, Boromir didn't dare to move. He felt how Legolas raised his head to look over to where the hobbits were sleeping, but he didn't make any attempts to pull his hand away. "He's asleep. Only dreaming," Legolas whispered as he lay his head back down on Boromir's shoulder. "We should stop," Boromir whispered back breathlessly, sobered up by the sudden shock. "Now?" Legolas almost had to laugh. "Why not?" "I don't think you will be able to find any sleep in this condition," the elf pointed out and started to move his hand again, but Boromir quickly tightened the lock of his fist and stopped him. "What if one of the others wakes up?" "If you didn't talk so much we would have been finished with this long ago," Legolas pointed out. "And now shut up, close your eyes and enjoy." Boromir hesitated at first, but when Legolas started to gently kiss and nibble at his neck, his eyelids fell close and his lips parted to release an inaudible moan. "Relax, Boromir. Let go and let me do the work," Legolas breathed against the human's neck, then slid his tongue up, behind his ear. "Trust me, I know what I'm doing." Once Boromir obeyed and withdrew his hand, Legolas carefully dipped the tip of his index finger into the small puddle of sticky pre-cum that had gathered on the smooth head of the human's erection. Slowly, he spread it over the hot, swollen flesh with rotating, teasing motions, using just his tender fingertip. Since Boromir was so very close to orgasm already the gentle ministrations affected him greatly, but they were too soft to bring him over the edge. The archer drew one circle after another, increasing speed and pressure with every second, until the human warrior's body was shaken with another raw but short convulsion and Legolas felt some more liquid well up under his caressing finger. He dragged his hand over the dripping tip of Boromir's hard length, hastily rubbing the pre-orgasmic, tiny gushes of the human's essences into his palm and fingers. As soon as the inside of his hand was all moist with Boromir's fluids, he fully enclosed the human's solid shaft and stroked it with long and intense, almost harsh movements. The abrupt, extremely firm and slippery massage of his sensitive flesh almost made Boromir cry out loud. He came hard. His climax crashed down on him and took complete control over his body, making it tremble and tense forcefully. He exploded in Legolas' hand, setting free the enormous pressure that had built up in his body, and everything he wanted to do that very moment was to groan out his release. Boromir had to lift a hand to his face and bite down on the knuckle of his index finger in order to suppress any sound that threatened to burst from him. He squeezed his eyes shut, held his breath and bit down on his own flesh, hard, trying to concentrate on holding back the loud noise that tried to break free... Nonetheless a tiny, guttural sound became audible when his milky liquids spilled over Legolas' slender hand, but before it could develop into a loud, full groan of pleasure, the elf used his free hand to turn Boromir's head towards himself and smothered the noise with a kiss. Drunk with lust, the human warrior deepened the kiss instantly, almost devouring Legolas who willingly opened his mouth to let his lover in. A few more spasms ran through Boromir's body, weaker now, while Legolas held and kissed him affectionately, and then it was over. "I guess now you won't have any problems going to sleep," Legolas whispered with a small grin as he gently withdrew his messy hand. "Don't stop, please," Boromir whispered back without opening his eyes. "What?" Legolas asked, surprised. "Don't you think you need to recover a bit, first?" "To kiss me, I mean. Don't stop kissing me." "Oh." Smiling, the elf bowed his head and presented Boromir with a very slow yet deep kiss, his hand making its way to frame one side of the human's flushed face. "What if one of the others wakes up?" Legolas breathed into the kiss, mocking his lover. "I don't care," Boromir replied. "Your kisses are addictive. You are addictive." Legolas broke from Boromir's lips and looked him in the eyes for a moment. The deep, genuine emotions he discovered there almost scared him. Suddenly, he had to think of Aragorn's words to him. And he had to think of his reply. What a cruel reply it had been! Not towards Aragorn or himself, but cruel towards Boromir. "Boromir, I..." Legolas started and then stopped again to swallow. "I'm afraid I can't give you what you are obviously searching for in me." "What do you mean?" the human breathed. His low voice sounded a little alarmed now, but the tender expression in his eyes was still there. "I don't know how to put it without... maybe... hurting you." "I am not easily hurt. Please tell me." Legolas nodded and gently wiped back a few strands that had fallen into Boromir's face. "I'm glad that you are on this quest, together with me. And I like to be with you. But I am not in love with you. I can offer to share my body with you, like you share yours with me, but not my heart and soul." There was a quite long moment of silence between them and Legolas didn't know at all how Boromir would react to his announcement. When the human finally replied he was surprised by his words. "Then I guess that will have to do." "I'm sorry," Legolas whispered. "Don't be," Boromir whispered back. He made great effort to control his voice, but Legolas was too sensitive to miss the tiny indication of dissappointment, maybe even hurt, that he didn't manage to cover up completely. He saw that the elf wanted to say some more and quickly raised his voice again to cut him off. The last thing he wanted was being pitied. "Good night," the human said with stiff politeness, avoiding to meet Legolas' eyes. The elf understood and nodded faintly. "Good night, Boromir." As soon as Legolas had gotten up to resume his watch, Boromir rolled back on his side, trying to find a more comfortable sleeping position. Just when he wanted to close his eyes and let his exhaustion overwhelm him, he saw something that made his heart skip a beat, his breath catch in his throat and blood surge to his cheeks. Aragorn was staring at him. Chapter 3 (Boromir's point of view) He saw us. I don't know for how long he had been watching, whether or not he had seen the whole incident or just the finale, but it wouldn't make a difference anyway. Aragorn saw us and now I feel like I'm suffocating from his cold stare. This is the first time in my life I wished that I could just disappear into thin air. The urge to run away and hide is new to me and I don't like it at all. Of course I can't just get up and flee this place, no matter how strong the urge is, and so I just roll onto my other side, presenting Aragorn with my back. He doesn't stop watching me though. I can't see him anymore, but I feel his stare boring into me. I close my eyes and try to calm down from the shock of being discovered. It doesn't work very well. My heart is still pounding madly, and not only because of the expert ministrations Legolas had just served. I wonder whether he knows that Aragorn had seen it. Probably he does. He is an elf with excellent senses after all, and he hadn't been half as distracted as I. After long minutes of pondering I come to the conclusion that these encounters with Legolas have to stop. We can't go on like this. I can't go on like this. It's only a matter of time until the whole fellowship finds out about us and I really don't want that to happen. Maybe I would think differently if Legolas had deeper feelings for me... Maybe if he loved me, I wouldn't care about the others so much. But he doesn't, he made that clear last night. And I don't want anybody to think, to know, that I'm nothing but a plaything to the elf. Because that's what I am to him. A willing body he can satisfy his carnal needs with. Nothing less, nothing more. I would lie if I said that I didn't feel abashed by this, and that's why it has to stop. Legolas may be a prince, son to the king of Mirkwood, but that doesn't mean he can do with me whatever he wants to, humiliating me in front of everybody else. After all I, too, have a title, and one does not simply use and humble the future Steward of Gondor. Legolas will have to learn that I'm not someone he can toy with in such way. Contented with my new found confidence, I fall asleep quickly. But when Gandalf wakes me in the morning, I realise that it had been a very light and troubled sleep as I still feel worn out, my whole body hurting. I actually feel as if I hadn't slept at all this night. Legolas on the other hand seems untroubled and serene. His movements as graceful and lissom as ever. I try to avoid watching him while we're packing our equipment, but I can't help throwing a quick glance when we finally depart from our nightly campsite. He passes me to head to the front where Gandalf is leading the way and my eyes are pinned on his slender yet strong form. His limber, dainty body... his unbelievably creamy, delicate skin... I feel a lump in my throat as I understand that I'm yearning for him already, although it's mere hours ago that I promised to never again let him touch and influence me. I had been so convinced about it last night, but now as he's striding in front of me I'm not so sure anymore... We're walking and walking and I'm brooding and brooding until the fellowship settles down for meal. I'm still caught up in my reflections in such a strong way that I don't even notice my own exhaustion and appetite, and so I refuse to sit down with the others. I'm not in the mood for company right now. Pippin tries his best to talk me into eating with them and I have to smile at his charming attempts, but tell him no. "I'm going yonder, to see to my armour. I think my chain-mail needs a fix," I hear my unintentionally harsh voice telling my comrades and then I turn my back on them and leave. This time I feel not only Aragorn's stare penetrating my back, but also Legolas'. The uncomfortable feeling of being observed by both of them drives me to put more distance between myself and the campsite than I had originally intended to, and suddenly I find myself out of sight and hearing range of the others. Deep in the woods, I come to a halt next to a large tree and put my gloved hand upon the bark as if I was fearing that I could lose balance otherwise. I'm a bit dizzy indeed and as soon as I have found the little support the tree can offer, I close my eyes and inhale deeply to calm myself down and regain my composure. I'm standing like this for quite some time, and after a few more moments I sense that he is here. I can't see him, my eyes are still closed. I can't hear him either. But I know he's here with me. I just know it. What I don't know is whether I'm fond of his presence or whether I'd rather hack him to pieces. All too soon he teaches me that it matters not whether or not I like it. It is not me who is to make the decisions here. My eyes shoot open the second his hands grab my shoulders and I stare directly into his pretty face. He tries to push me into the tree but I manage to direct us past the stem and his unchecked shove knocks us both down to the ground. He lands on top of me with quite some impact, mercilessly reminding me of how amazingly supple his body feels against mine. "Get off me!" I practically bark at him and for a second I see astonishment in his beautiful eyes. He obviously didn't expect me to be so disobedient. I can't blame him for being startled. After all I had told him last night that it was fine with me to have intimate contacts just on a physical basis... to share our bodies without obligation. But a man can change his mind, can't he? Apparently Legolas doesn't think so. He decides to simply ignore my outburst and bows his head in an attempt to kiss me on my mouth, but I turn my face away and fling him half off. While he clings to me with only just one hand, I roll around onto my front to get up and away with a strong, efficient movement that will shake him off completely, but when I prop myself up onto all fours I virtually rise into the unyielding lock of his arms. He leans on me with nearly all his weight and his chin moves to hook over my shoulder, his warm breath caressing my cheek and his fair hair cascading down to the ground in front of us. I'm trapped. "No, Legolas... let go of me," I manage to say and to my great horror my voice is nothing more than a hoarse whisper. Again I try to free myself, but for some reason I can't get my body to develop the strength it is capable of. Instead of struggling myself out of his tight embrace, I let the elf drag me up with him until we both stand on our feet again, his chest pressing up against my back. "You want me to stop?" he asks, but it's clear that he's not expecting an answer from me. Not even a second later I feel one of his hands snaking its way down my stomach, determinedly aiming at the one part of my body that will definitely prove just how badly I want him to continue. Driven by despair and fury, I let myself fall forward, hoping that my weight will break his hug. I slip from his arms indeed, with such force that I almost plummet back onto the forest floor, but his reflexes are stunningly quick and before I have the chance to get out of his reach entirely, he grabs me again. He hauls me back into his embrace, and the next thing I feel is his erect shaft pressing against my backside. He is very hard, and I can feel the heat of his desire on my skin, through all the layers of our clothes. I freeze in my efforts to break free and hold my breath without even wanting to. I'm no longer in command of my body and I loathe myself for that. Legolas angles his hips and pushes his groin forward, making sure that I really feel his hunger for me. He presses harder and harder against my flesh until my whole body tenses with growing desire. Then he starts rubbing his arousal against the curve of my rear and I catch myself wishing that there weren't so many clothes between us. I can't help gasping softly as he moves against me like this, each slow rub of his a little promise of greater pleasures to come. The conflict that is raging inside of me fades continuously as I find it more and more difficult to think straight, until I finally surrender to my desire. I don't even try to hinder him when he unbuckles my belt and busy hands start to tug my garments down to my thighs. The soft breeze is cold against my skin that lies bare now, but I know it'll heat up soon. And indeed, Legolas doesn't waste any time and begins to meet my expectations right away. I only realise that he got rid of some of his clothing as well when I feel the length of his hot and hard arousal nestling itself against my backside, slowly pushing between my exposed buttocks. For a few moments he seems fully content with just rubbing himself against my naked skin and I have to agree that it feels rather nice indeed. But nice is not enough, not for either one of us, and I don't have to wait long until Legolas intensifies our encounter. One of his hands that are clasped to my sides lets go of me and I feel him shift behind me as he again angles his hips, guiding himself to a more secret place of my body. I can't suppress a soft pant when the tip of his erection touches my opening. It is so hard yet so gentle and smooth, and also hot and moist. I brace myself for the ultimate assault on my backside, holding my breath and waiting for him to shove into me, but he doesn't. Instead, he starts to slowly stroke me with the slick head of his member, gently spreading his essences on my most intimate regions. It feels like nothing I have ever experienced before and I release a few soft moans when his teasing gentleness becomes almost unbearable. The tenderness is only temporary though. Very soon, too soon, he pushes forward, demanding entrance. I try to relax, to let him pass and fuse with me, but I can't. My muscles tense involuntarily and deny him access to my body although I long for the feeling of him inside me. I probably would have told him to pay no attention to the protests of my body and to just take me without consideration, but I remain silent because I know that's exactly what he will do anyhow. Legolas doesn't contradict my presumptions. He's obviously not at all impressed with my body's denial as he pushes harder and harder until his patience comes to an end and his hands clench my hips to draw me back into his not so gentle thrust. I can't help jerking when he breaches the tensed ring of muscle, sending a flash of burning pain through my nether regions, but I don't make one single sound. While I am concentrating on biting back a moan of agony he proceeds. His hips push, pressing him into me, and his hands pull, sliding me onto him, and before I have the chance to acclimate to the harsh invasion, he is in all the way, buried inside of me as deeply as he can go. Then he starts moving. He's energetic, forceful and commanding, in perfect control of not only his but also my body. He leads me through our rough and hasty coupling, directing my weakened form into the position that pleases him most. It doesn't please me much, but that's unimportant. The mere sound of his fevered pants is enough to make me abandon myself willingly, letting him bend me as he wishes. When he's finally fully content with the arrangement he has guided us into, his hands start to travel over my body. "I want to touch you too..." I somehow rasp out. "Later," he replies in a rushed moan and leans forward, pressing himself onto my moist back. Simultaneously, he runs his slender, long fingers down my arms, grabs my wrists and gathers them together to pin them onto the forest ground in front of us. "But -" "I said later," he interrupts and then silences me with thrusts that drive into me with such sharp harshness that it takes my breath away. Tears spring to my eyes and I squeeze them shut instantly, too proud to let even one of them slip. I wonder whether he would stop if he knew the pain he causes me... if he were to know how I feel this very moment. I wonder how he would react if I told him what was going on in my mind and how I truly felt about him... I will never know because I will never ever let that happen. I won't lay my feelings bare in front of anybody, and certainly not in front of Legolas. While he pumps into me faster and faster, his hands clenching and unclenching my scorching and sweating skin, I swear to myself that this will be the last time I allow him to use me. When he climaxes inside of me an unexpectedly short time later, a plainly beautiful moan slipping from his mouth and his hands almost crushing my wrists, I know he will have me again, as often as he wishes. Because I will never be able to deny him. A few weeks ago, I let myself in for this game, convinced that I would gain from it. I had thought I'd obtain pleasure, delight, satisfaction... maybe even love. Now I realise this is his game, he alone sets the rules. And Legolas alone is the winner. Chapter 4 (Legolas' point of view) I’ve always taken huge interests in studying humans and their behaviour. They are intriguing, complex creatures, yet easy to manipulate and see through. Even him, although he was fostered and brought up by my race. He talks my tongue as though he was one of us, carries an Elven name when he’s among my people and his betrothed is a princess of my kind… But after all, he can’t deny who he really is. Aragorn. Son of Arathorn. A Man. Easy to manipulate and see through. Ever since he almost caught Boromir and me in the act I can feel his unease, his tension, when I come too close or just stare at him. After our little conversation atop the rock, he changed. Only slightly, but I notice. He’s wary and unsure but tries hard to not let it show. He doesn’t know what to think of all this. Of Boromir and me. Of the things we do together, to each other. Even though he didn’t catch us at it, he must have known what’s going on. He’s not stupid. He just doesn’t know what exactly to think of it. And so I decided to confront him with his feelings, to help realization hit him. With full impact. Right in the face. I knew that he would be watching, that he wouldn’t be able to ignore it. And indeed he watches. As I said, Men are easy to manipulate. Aragorn has been eyeing us for quite some time already. Boromir hasn't noticed yet. I can’t blame him really since I’m doing my best to distract him thoroughly . His broad, warm body occasionally trembles in my embrace and every now and then he pushes into the lock of my moving hand, but apart from that he is in stunning control of himself, not making a single sound. If it weren’t for his heaving chest I wouldn’t be able to tell if he is breathing at all. Aragorn is both deadly silent and motionless. Even his eyes are fixed in one place, not shifting an inch. He’s staring at Boromir’s face, at the passionate, beautiful mixture of despair and pleasure that I know is written all across his virile features. As I feel Boromir’s tense body shake in pre-orgasmic convulsions and hot, tiny gushes moisten my busy hand I make a movement so abrupt and forceful that it sweeps the cloak that serves as his blanket away from over his crotch. It also draws Aragorn’s attention and he drops his gaze just in time to catch my hand performing the harsh, long stroke that finishes Boromir off. For a second, I watch him. Watch the battle of opposing emotions flutter over his rugged face as he witnesses Boromir’s extremely hard and sudden climax. Abhorrence and disdain on the one hand, thrill and desire on the other, all mixed with shock, jealousy and anger. So many feelings on a face that’s usually calm, not revealing anything. Before I can see which of his emotions finally overpowers the others, I hear a groan of pleasure erupting from Boromir’s mouth and quickly turn his face towards mine in order to crush my lips over his. It wouldn’t be very helpful if my Gondorian warrior woke up our comrades with his vocal outburst and I’m reliefed that I manage to smother the low sound before it develops into something more wanton. I feel his moan vibrate against my lips, his hot breath in my own mouth, and then he kisses me with such overwhelming fervour that for a short moment I totally forget about Aragorn. While the human in my arms shudders and whimpers in the throes of orgasm I respond to the searing kiss with equal passion, closing my eyes and holding to his heated face. Then he stills and I softly withdraw both my hands and my lips. Aragorn is still watching, I feel his stare on us. When Boromir asks me for another kiss I comply eagerly and kiss him for all I’m worth, as affectionately as I can. This just has to work on this cursed, controlled ranger… I wish I could look at Aragorn’s face right now in order to see what he’s feeling, but when I softly break from the passionate kiss the expression on Boromir’s face captivates me instead. I stare at his deep and brilliant eyes for a few silent seconds, my lips slightly parted in astonishment and disbelief. Do I really see what I think I’m seeing…? I try to swallow the lump that’s forming in my throat, but it only seems to get bigger. Under different circumstances I probably would have felt more than flattered from the adoration and affection in his gentle gaze, but this very moment his obviously deep and genuine feelings for me scare me. Suddenly my conscience is pricking at me. I never meant to hurt him. Not in this deep, emotional way. I realize that I owe him the truth – or at least part of it. “I'm glad that you are on this quest, together with me. And I like to be with you. But I am not in love with you. I can offer to share my body with you, like you share yours with me, but not my heart and soul,” I tell him, gently stroking dirty strands of hair from his moist forehead. I’m beyond relief when he tells me that this is fine with him. I can see that he’s disappointed, though he won’t admit it, but the last glimpses of the little remorse, pity and bad conscience that were left in me die away a few moment later when I finally get up to resume my watch and feel it happening: Boromir notices that Aragorn is watching. At last! I had almost stopped to hope for it. The memorable event happens behind my back, but I can feel it with every fibre of my body. I sense the great tension between them as they glare at each other in a silent staring contest. Sparks fly between them in such an intense way that a smile graces my features. They are both so passionate in their dislike towards each other, so full of ferocity and fire… I almost don’t dare imagine what it would be like to unleash this almost painful tension. I will have them both. They just don’t know it yet. I will have them and I will make them convert their hate into blazing passion I know they both carry inside. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next day starts like every other day on this journey. We get up, pack our belongings and set out. Most of the time I’m marching next to Gandalf who’s entertaining me with some stories, perfectly distracting me from my musings over Boromir and Aragorn. My thoughts only drift back to those mortal objects of my desire when we settle down for our meal. "I'm going yonder, to see to my armour. I think my chain-mail needs a fix," Boromir tells us and walks off awkwardly. What a lame excuse, I think to myself as I stare after him. When he finally vanishes in deeper parts of the forest, I quickly put down my food and rise. Aragorn’s head snaps up and he glares at me. He doesn’t say a word, but his eyes are so easy to read. I smirk at him. “A chain-mail is tricky to fix. He might need help,” I say, causing the colour of Aragorn’s eyes to darken. “Sit and eat, Legolas,” he commands quietly. “None of us should stroll through the woods all on his own,” I reply matter-of- factly. “Legolas is right, Strider,” Pippin interferes in our private little combat, “And you wouldn’t want anything to happen to Boromir. Right, Strider?” "Right,” Aragorn agrees dryly and from the innocent expression on Pippin’s small face I know that he doesn’t notice the ranger’s sarcastic undertone. “Don’t worry, Pippin. Boromir will be sound and safe,” I assure the halfling and then shift my gaze back to Aragorn. My eyes bore into him and he holds my intense stare as I say: “I will take very good care of him.” He doesn’t bat an eyelid at my comment, but I believe his ears have turned a light red. I smirk again and then break our hard gazes to head after Boromir. He has gone unexpectedly deep into the woods but finally I find him. He stands, leaning on a large tree, his eyes closed as if he tries to regain lost composure. I approach him silently and as I reach out for his shoulders his eyes shoot open, regarding me with a strange expression. Is he… startled to see me? But he expected me, didn’t he? Why did he make up this excuse to withdraw to the forest if not to spend time with me? He practically invited me to follow him when he threw me that meaningful gaze, just before he wandered off… didn’t he? I move forwards in order to push him against the tree but suddenly find myself atop him, on the forest ground. "Get off me!" he demands gruffly, his voice full of fury and denial. Now it’s my turn to be startled and for a second I can’t do anything but stare at him in shock. I’m at a total loss, utterly confused by his aggressiveness. In my helplessness I simply ignore what he just said and lean in, attempting to force him into a kiss. But again he surprises me with unexpected resistance and even tries to shake me off. He turns and wriggles underneath me but I’m not willing to let him get away. "No, Legolas... let go of me," he pleads when he finds himself captured in the lock of my arms. He struggles against my embrace, but his protests are too weak to be taken seriously. He’s just playing. "You want me to stop?" I ask him, but I’m not really expecting an answer. Quickly, before he can say any more, I run my hand down his stomach, heading for the centre of his lust. Two can play this game… Boromir bends forward abruptly, trying to break out of my resolute hug, and when he bows the promising swell of his backside shoves into my groin. Delightfully distracted for a second, I almost let him slip from my arms. But only almost. Just when he is about to drop from my touch, I snatch him back. I yank his body against mine, gathering his form into my arms with even more tenacity than before. From the way he goes completely still all of sudden, I can tell he feels my erection that had sprung to full attention. I hold him, as close and tightly as possible, and press against the muscular curve that nestles against my groin. He doesn't react. I press harder. In fact a little too hard. My solid member hurts from being wedged so firmly between my own stomach and Boromir's perfect rear, but it affects him at last and that is worth the pain. He tenses. I start to move against his admirable buttocks with slow yet domineering rubs, causing the solid muscles there to tauten even more. He gasps, finally. It’s such a soft, low pant that slips from his mouth, but it’s one of the most erotic sounds I have ever heard. I need to take him. Right here, right now. Hastily, I open the buckle of his belt and tug down his clothes only enough to lay bare his bottom. Within seconds my garments are down as well and I’m more than grateful that Boromir doesn’t try to flee when I take my hands off his body to release my aching erection. I can hardly suppress a sigh when we make contact again, now naked skin on naked skin, and I push my hips forward in search for the wonderful, addictive feeling that always conquers me when I am this close to him. I move rhythmically, rubbing the full length of my aching member along the inviting chink of his backside. Soon, my desire for hotter and harder friction can't be ignored anymore, so I take hold of myself and guide my erection into another position until the tip is hovering over his opening. When I push a little forward, touching him gently, he pants and I can hear how excited he is. I want to ram into him so badly, but manage to restrain myself. Instead of plunging into him, I move the tip of my member over his tight entrance, tenderly smearing my pre-cum against and into the tiny orifice that is waiting for me to widen it. After a few moments of lubricating him with the small amount of slippery fluid that's leaking from me, I angle my hips to get better access and then lean in. He tenses again. Not as badly as the first time I had taken him, but there is still enough resistance to keep me from sliding in effortlessly. I push with more force, trying my best to be energetic and heedful at the same time, but he obviously can't get his muscles to relax. The resistance I am confronted with only gets worse the stronger I push. Determined to eventually invade him, I grab his hips and pull him back into my thrust. I can't help gasping softly when the unbelievably tight ring finally gives way and grants me entrance. I feel Boromir jerk under me, but all I can do is hold him tighter and proceed. Once I have broken through the firm barrier, it is easy to slide up into him all the way, into his tight and slick inner heat. He feels amazing, better than anybody I ever had in my whole long life, and for a split second I catch myself wondering whether Aragorn would feel just as breathtakingly wonderful around me. Then my mind turns hazy from unbearable pleasures and I don’t think of anything anymore while I hurtle towards my climax… After I spent myself in my comrade’s body and my ability to think returns to me, the first thing that comes to my mind is that I wasn’t gentle with him and that in the end he didn’t complain at all. That he completely stopped to resist. He stopped to struggle against me. But he also stopped to move with me, like he used to during our previous intimate encounters. He stopped to take part in this. He’s just there. Tolerating my sexual onslaught in total passivity. This is definitely not the way I had wanted this to be. While we stride through the forest together, wordlessly heading back to camp, I come to the conclusion that it would be best if I just dropped my plans and left Boromir alone unless I want to ruin the poor man. But then I see the expression on Aragorn’s face when we reach the others at the campsite. That envious look in his eyes feeds the flames of my desire and as they grow larger and hotter, my compassion for Boromir shrinks and then, when Aragorn lazily moistens his lips with the tip of his tongue, dies away completely. Chapter 5 (Aragorn's point of view) They return sooner than I had expected and at first I think this has to mean that nothing has “happened” between them this time, but when they finally are so close that I can see their faces I understand that I’m mistaken. I cast only a very discreet glance towards Boromir, long enough to notice that the man’s face is still faintly flushed from what Legolas must have done to him, but too short to catch the precise expression on his features. At the elf I look longer. A lot longer. I didn’t intend to, but I can’t tear my eyes away from him once I gaze more closely. The soft lips slightly parted, he breathes through his mouth. As if he was still catching his breath and drawing it through the nose wasn’t sufficient enough to provide the needed air. And his eyes… Glazed over with heavy emotion, somewhat cloudy, yet they contradictorily shine and shimmer even more than normal. He seems very relaxed, almost a little exhausted. His skin is nearly as pale as ever, only his high, sculptured cheekbones sport shades of a delicate pink, and there are absolutely no traces of sweat, but for some reason that I cannot grasp he looks incredibly warm. Warm, spent and satisfied. Beautiful… I catch myself wondering what he looks like when engaged in carnal activities. When lust and pleasure consume him completely. Does he make love with his eyes closed or open? Where and how deeply is his marble skin flushed from the arousal, and what does it feel like? Soft and damp? Slick and hot? What does it look like when he writhes, sweats, moans, blushes, tenses… when he climaxes? I don’t think the word ‘beautiful’ would do him justice in that exquisite moment. Not even nearly. No, not beautiful. Far beyond beautiful… I feel an uncomfortable emotion – maybe envy though I won’t admit it – stir in my belly as I realize that Boromir knows the answers to all these questions that are nagging at me. He has seen Legolas in the throes of total passion. And he has not only been witness as the elf reached the pinnacle of pleasure and ecstasy. Boromir has been the reason. Is the reason. Will be the reason. Our gazes meet. From the way the clear blue of Legolas’ eyes sparkles I can tell that he notices my inner turmoil. We hold each other’s stare as he approaches and I slip out the tip of my tongue, slowly running it along my lower lip, though for moistening my skin or for provoking Legolas I do not know. However, the tiny motion affects him. His lids drop a little as his gaze shifts lower and he stares at my mouth, eyes following the lazy track of my tongue. If we had been alone, he surely would have lunged at me. I can see it in his eyes, the greed and desire. I don’t know how I would react if he made unambiguous advances to me, whether I would yield or refuse. But since we aren’t alone and Legolas doesn’t come to me I don’t waste any more thoughts on it. While our archer settles down next to Gandalf and quickly is engaged in a quiet conversation, I turn my head and find myself staring directly at Boromir’s face. The man from Gondor instantly lowers his gaze, lashes fluttering down to cover his eyes, but he isn’t fast enough to hide them from my seeking glance. I clearly saw it. The despair. The shame. The anguish. This is the first time I look at Boromir and don’t see a bold, arrogant soldier, but a vulnerable, stricken man. Alas, Legolas, what have you done…? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Did you enjoy what you saw?" Legolas asks me the next day when the fellowship is resuming the journey. I hadn’t seen or sensed him approaching me and his bold question that comes out of nowhere startles me. My heart starts beating faster, but I doubt that this is only because of the scare he gave me. "I have no idea what you are talking about," I lie stubbornly and quicken my pace in order to leave my elven comrade behind, but Legolas modifies his own steps and easily keeps up with me. "You've always been a very poor liar, Estel. I know you were watching. I saw you," he continues in a low voice. I’m lost, I don’t know what to say, and so I just remain silent. When Legolas understands that I won’t reply, he adds, "Why don't you just admit that you are jealous? I know you are." Finally, I turn my head to throw a fierce, warning glare at Legolas, but the elf doesn't recoil. "I'm not jealous! How often do I need to tell you?!" I hiss under my breath, refusing to spill out my true emotions, to surrender to my actual feelings, to admit my secret, deepest cravings. "You envy Boromir," the elf states. It doesn’t surprise me that he sees through me. It rather annoys me. "Surely not. If anything I pity the poor man!" I snap, provoked. Now that is something Legolas obviously hadn't expected to hear as he falls silent for a short moment. "He became a slave to you and isn't capable of evading your sick lusting anymore. There's nothing to envy about that," I continue. When the image of Boromir’s distraught face sneaks into my memory, I can almost believe in the words I throw at Legolas’ face. Almost. "At least you admit you snooped on us," Legolas says, ignoring my previous comment. "I wouldn't call it snooping. Really, if you're working on him in the middle of the camp one does not have to spy on you to notice what's going on," I say without thinking, not noticing that Legolas managed to bring our heated conversation round to the topic he wishes to discuss. "Now that you acknowledged that you watched, you may very well answer my question. Did you like what you saw?" he asks, cracking a sly smile at me. Oh how I want to slap that small, provoking grin from his face! But instead of punching him with my fist, I take a deep breath and release a vocal attack. "If it means so much to you I will tell you what I think of it. I am disgusted. Not by the intimacy you two share, but by your cruelty, Legolas. I feel repelled because of your ruthless selfishness, your roughness. By no means am I jealous of Boromir. If I were him, I would give you a thrashing so severe that you would crawl on all fours for the rest of this quest.” Legolas’ stupid grin dies away. Good. “You think I’m selfish and rough?” he then asks, almost perplexed. “You’re definitely not very caring and gentle with Boromir. You don’t want him, you only lust after his body. You don’t have feelings for him,” I remind him. He knows that I watched him bringing Boromir to release, he may very well know that I as well listened to the words he told him afterwards. He swallows, slowly, digesting what I just had said, and then responds with surprising softness in his voice. His answer isn’t at all what I expected and catches me off guard. “And if I had? If I was?” Legolas wants to know and quickly gets hold of my shoulder when I try to turn away in order to evade his suggestive questions. “Aragorn, what if I was caring and gentle? Would you then envy Boromir?” “Let go of me,” I hiss, my voice as well as my body tense. “I don’t have to be rough. I can be a tender lover. Maybe you would prefer to watch that? Would you prefer to watch me making love to Boromir, sweetly, slowly and devotedly?” I feel blood surge to my face when his whispered words sink in and successfully manage to suppress a tiny sound that catches in my throat. I’m grateful that I didn’t let it slip, although things couldn’t get much worse anyhow. Legolas knows my thoughts, even without that embarassing groan that I choked back. My heated face gives me away. “Or maybe you’d rather join us?” he suggests in a low, meaningful voice, his hand still clasped to my clothes. I feel my mouth drop slightly open as I stare at the elf in pure disbelief and shock. Before I regain my composure and manage to respond, Legolas continues. “Listen. Boromir and I will excuse ourselves when we settle down for rest tomorrow noon. Feel free to follow us,” he adds softly, his voice barely more than a whisper. “Why should I?” I reply, finally finding my voice again. My tone is gruff, hiding the faint tremble in my voice. “Because I want you. I want to feel you. And you want to feel me,” the archer states, his intense gaze penetrating me who returns the stare. I’ve lost control over my boiling blood, but not over my gaze. My cheeks are flaming, but my eyes are cold. I don’t want him to see how excited I am. I don’t want him to see how tempted I am. “You need to learn that not every being that lays eyes on you is bewitched by your oh so perfect beauty and oh so scintillating wits,” I say, but I can’t help thinking that I try to persuade me with these words rather than the elf. “You can't always have your will, Legolas." He doesn’t respond to this. He just lets go of my shoulder, slows down and silently allows me to put more distance between us. He already knows what I am too proud to admit to myself yet. He just won me over. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I tremble. Only slightly, but I do. I tremble, I forget to breathe, and my heart is in my mouth as I watch. The last minutes I had lived through like in a haze, enveloped by thick mists that clouded my vision and mind. I don’t really understand why I’m here. How I got here. It is as though another man had been in command of my body, following Legolas and Boromir to this place they had withdrawn to. But the man that stands here now and watches his comrades, half hidden behind a tree, is me. It’s my pulse that throbs madly, my mouth that is completely dry, my palms that turn sweaty. And my body that trembles. The scenery I’m confronted with is breathtakingly beautiful – a small clearing dominated by lush green and kissed by the warming sun – but I’m oblivious to these simple yet awesome wonders of nature. I have eyes for only them who stand in the middle of the little glade, bodies pressing close and mouths linked in something that looks like the mother of all kisses to me. It’s slow yet fervent. Very seductive. Deep. Every now and then I catch a glimpse of their tongues that gently probe, gyrate and caress, advancing or yielding. I can see the glistening moisture on and around their kiss-swollen lips as they break apart and Boromir lowers his head to dip the tip of his tongue in the soft hollow of Legolas’ neck where his collarbones meet. He lazily draws his tongue up along the milky throat, leaving a sheen of saliva on the marble skin, until he laps over the edge of the delicate chin and finally slides over Legolas’ lower lip to dive back into the warm cave of his mouth. I didn’t know witnessing a kiss could be so arousing... I force myself to rip my gaze from their faces when I feel my member stir with need. I can’t get myself to turn away completely, and so I just shift my eyes to Boromir’s back where one of Legolas’ hands is roaming. Since both males are stripped to the waist, the elf caresses and massages naked, sun-tanned skin. I watch as Legolas’ slender fingers follow Boromir’s spine, glide over strong shoulder blades, stroke over ribs and carefully trace a long, light scar that runs across the small of the man’s back – a souvenir from one of the many battles he doubtlessly fought. I see that Legolas didn’t lie. If he wants, he can indeed be gentle, considerate, giving. But it eats away at me that the loving tenderness he presents Boromir with is only a means to an end. These are feigned emotions. Are they not? Intending to search for any indications of Legolas’ genuine feelings I turn my gaze back to the elf’s face. I can’t supress a low gasp when I find him staring right into my eyes, his lips still locked with Boromir’s eager mouth. I tightly press my lips together as soon as I feel the sound slip out, but it’s too late. The man from Gondor, always alert and vigilant, breaks from the kiss and twirls into my direction. First we just stare at one another in deadly silence, both of us frozen and holding our breaths. Boromir is the first to make a move. His eyes narrow in wrath as he’s lunging out. I brace myself for his attack, preparing to defend and strike back, but our brawl never comes to pass as Legolas catches Boromir from behind, keeping him from jumping at me. “Are you not ashamed?!” my human comrade yells at me while he struggles against Legolas’ relentless embrace. Of course I am ashamed. In fact more than I ever had been in my life so far, but who am I to beg for forgiveness from an insolent captain who hasn’t shown a modicum of respect yet, not even for his own rightful king? “It is new to me that it’s prohibited to walk these woods,” I reply as calmly as I can. “This is no walk in the woods!” Boromir hisses, his eyes darting right through me. “This is invasion of privacy!” There is something about the way he accentuates his cocky speech, something that never ceases to enrage me. My hands curl to fists as I return his icy stare and snort in a most scoffing way. “What a funny thing to hear this expression tumble from your mouth, my Lord Boromir, for I believe it was you who didn’t have any inhibitions when our friend Legolas fondled you to completion amidst the assembled fellowship! Besides, I am not entirely unwelcome here.” “Don’t speak in such riddles!” Boromir demands angrily but stops fighting Legolas’ arms that still hold him back. “Why don’t you ask your lover to help you solve them? I’m sure he can give you a hint,” I reply, casting a glare at Legolas who hasn’t said a word so far. It seems that the elf isn’t planning to give any explanations as he simply starts to slide his hands from Boromir’s heaving chest to his flat, muscular stomach. I follow the track of his slender hand with hungry eyes, catching myself wishing that it was my body he touched. Before the archer can prolong his intimate caress, Boromir clamps one large hand over Legolas’ and holds it in place, pressing it against his sun-tanned skin. “What is this supposed to mean?” he asks, his voice revealing his growing discomfort and bewilderment. “Are you really this dimwitted or are you playing coy now?” Legolas answers his lover’s question with another question. I have never before heard so much impatience and annoyance in his usually calm, even-tempered voice, but my great surprise is outdone by Boromir’s astonishment. His face expresses pure shock as he slowly understands Legolas’ intentions. I probably would have smiled, maybe even snickered at the uncommon sight of a thunderstruck Boromir if the atmosphere hadn’t been so stifingly tense. “Don’t tell me you invited him here,” Boromir says in disbelief, his eyes locked with mine. “I promise you we are going to have a good time,” Legolas assures him, again attempting to bring his hand past the man’s waistband, but Boromir again stops him. “I am definitely not going to engange in any carnal activities with this man!” Boromir presses, tightening his grip on the elf’s hand in such a strong way that Legolas winces. “Nor am I willing to share with him! It’s either me or the ranger!” “Have you already forgotten what I told you?!” Legolas hisses, his tone unexpectedly aggressive, as he rips his hand from Boromir’s hard grasp. He quickly grabs a fistful of Boromir’s dirtyblond hair at the back of his head and pulls, forcing the man to his knees. I gape, mouth slightly open, as the fellowship’s second human gasps in pain and unsuccessfully tries to get rid of the harming elven hand. Legolas is unyielding. “This man is your king!” he yells at Boromir and I feel my stomach clenching painfully at his words. I doubt I would manage to rein him back this time, like I did at the council of Elrond. I’m not sure I want to, honestly. “You must not shun or exclude him! Now demonstrate the allegiance you know you owe him!” With these harsh words, Legolas deals Boromir an even harsher push, making him slump forward to his hands. The son of the Steward kneels there in front of me, head hanging, gaze lowered, fingers digging into the earth as they curl, shoulders trembling with either wrath or humiliation – or both. I am too shocked to say anything. I am too shocked to even breathe. After a little eternity, the first word falls. “Fine…” Much to Boromir’s credit, he manages to develop a steady, firm voice. I have to admit that I admire him for that. A little. “If this is what you both wish, it shall be done,” the son of the steward continues as he rises to his feet again, straigthening his stance as soon as he stands upright. “But my offer is subject to a condition.” I swallow hard, wondering what it will be, while Legolas demands, “Bring it forward, that condition of yours. We will see whether it is acceptable.” “I will pull the strings,” he states, simply. “And what exactly is this supposed to mean?” I ask, interfering in the conversation. “It means that you will behave yourself until I tell you otherwise!” Boromir explains sharply, cold eyes stabbing right through me. “You won’t touch him until I allow you so, and you won’t stick any parts of your body into him until I permit it.” “Oh, please!” I sigh, rolling my eyes, and then look at Legolas, seeking his support. “As long as we are more than companions in arms, I don’t want him to have his way with you without my approval,” Boromir states, now addressing Legolas. “Either leave yourself and Aragorn to my command for the duration of this… agreement, or choose him over me and resign yourself to never again taking advantage of my flesh. Take your choice.” I can’t blame Boromir for coming up with this stupid condition, after all it is his desperate attempt to safe the last bit of dignity he has left, but I’m not at all delighted by the terms he set up. "He is not your property!" I hiss before Legolas has the chance to speak, my dark eyes glaring at the other human. The angry words come fast and I can’t do anything to stop them from falling. "You had him more than enough!" "He didn't complain yet!" Boromir spits, returning the fierce stare, drags Legolas closer and wraps one arm around him possessively, provokingly. "Would you two stop quarreling!" Legolas demands and I notice that the annoyed tone in his voice gave way to light amusement. He’s enjoying this, how Boromir and I court his favour like two rutting animals. This makes me so angry that for a short moment I am inclined to return to the campsite and leave those two to themselves, but then Legolas suddenly bends his head and places a gentle yet determined kiss on Boromir's lips to smother the next tantrum, and I take root. The human deepens the kiss instantly. Marks his territory with a hasty, ardent tongue and rough, demanding lips. Legolas doesn't back away but gives in to the passion and returns the kiss with similar fervour. Before I manage to pick up courage again, Boromir looks up without disconnecting from Legolas' lips. Our gazes lock immediately. I know he can see the fury and humiliation in my eyes, but also the desire and arousal. I feel laughed at and abashed, but I can’t force myself to turn and leave. I am enthralled, captivated… This very moment, to watch seems to be of a greater necessity than breathing. Suddenly Boromir’s eyelids flutter close and I hear a tiny, guttural sound escaping his throat. As I drop my gaze I see that Legolas’ hand finally made its way into the man’s breeches and this time Boromir willingly grants him access. The slow, fluid strokes Legolas bestows bring me to full hardness, as though it was me he was touching, and driven by need and want I start to move towards them. As soon as I’m close enough I reach out for the elf, but before my fingertips make contact with his silky hair Boromir’s strong hand wraps around my wrist and stops me. I growl in frustration, not capable of civilized speech anymore, and Legolas promptly breaks from Boromir’s plundering mouth and turns in his embrace to face me. He frames my face with hands so gentle and delicate that I have to close my eyes, relishing the whole extent of this beautiful sensation. A split second later his mouth is on mine, so soft, so luscious, so perfect. It is not so much a full kiss, but rather a faint brush of his lips, almost like the caress of a feather. “Sit down, Estel,” he whispers, his hot breath tickling my face. A tiny, protesting whimper slips from my throat. I had been hoping Legolas wouldn’t agree to Boromir’s condition. Now as I have tasted and felt him, I can understand that the son of the steward didn’t want to share. I don’t want to share either, but it seems that I don’t have a choice. “Do as Boromir wishes and I shall be yours when the time has come,” Legolas mutters under his breath and leans in to place a harder kiss on my mouth. His tongue is slow, teasing and delicious as it slips between my lips and my head starts to spin as my erection grows even harder which I thought impossible. When I push in, starting to explore him in return, I taste the masculine, raw flavour of Boromir in the sweetness of his mouth, and I find it a strange thing that this only adds to my arousal. I groan weakly and involuntarily as Legolas disconnects from me but let him push me down to the ground until I sit on my heels. “Patience, Aragorn,” are the last words Legolas whispers to me before he pulls away and concentrates on Boromir’s needs. I take a deep, shivering breath in a hopeless attempt to calm myself down. When I raise my head and start to watch and wait, I pray to heaven above that Boromir possesses less endurance than I do. If that’s not the case, I don’t know how I will ever survive this. Chapter 6 With an almost painful feeling of torturing anticipation, Legolas wanted to nestle against Boromir in order to resume the deep kisses they had been sharing just before Aragorn had interrupted them, but the man from Gondor backed away. “Undress,” Boromir ordered before the elf had the chance to say anything. Legolas complied wordlessly and opened the laces of his trousers with confident but slow fingers, his deep, meaningful gaze focused on Boromir who stared back with a transfixed face. “What about you? Won’t you drop your clothes as well?” Legolas asked when he realized that Boromir didn’t move an inch while he was baring himself to both male humans. “Shut up and get naked. You tortured our poor ranger long enough with your teasingly nasty promises, it’s time to finally show him the prize he’s about to receive.” Boromir noticed with satisfaction how Legolas clenched his jaw to swallow back words of protest. He wasn’t used to being talked to like that, but managed to stifle his rising anger and do as Boromir said until he had stripped down every single piece of clothing. He felt Aragorn’s desirous eyes on his back while Boromir’s hard, grim stare bore right into his face, but he didn’t flinch. “What next?” Legolas asked with a proud, steady voice. Even though he was exposed and the others not, he refused to show any signs of vulnerability. Boromir answered by extending his right arm towards Legolas, palm facing upwards in an alluringly inviting gesture. The elf stepped forward and took the offered hand, only to find himself crushed against Boromir a split second later. The human pulled him close until the full lengths of their bodies were pressing against one another, chest against chest, thighs against thighs, groin against groin. Although the dark leather of Boromir’s breeches was sleek and cold against the elf’s bare legs, loins an genitals, Legolas was starting to burn up. He shivered at the intense expression in Boromir's eyes, suddenly so full of desire and admiration, and then let his lids fall when the man drew his mouth into an ardent kiss. A small groan escaped from his throat when Legolas felt the human's hands slide over his hips and cup his smooth buttocks with tender pressure. For a few moments Boromir massaged and caressed the delicate flesh, luring lovely sounds of pleasure from the elven lips he plundered so hungrily. When one of his fingertips brushed the elf's tight opening he felt that Legolas held his breath in expectation of agitating stimulation. With a faint smile the human warrior started to slowly trail the ring of muscle, drawing tiny, teasing circles on the sensitive skin that was faintly jerking in response. After a while of intimate caresses, he felt Legolas shift and wind in his embrace in unsuccessful attempt to take in the toying digit. "Impatient, aren't we?" Boromir growled in a low voice, the weak smile still upon his lips, and tightened his grip on the elf's right buttock with his not so busy hand. Legolas gasped softly when the human warrior then spread him leisurely, displaying the secret spot his rough finger was gently playing with to Aragorn who almost forgot to breathe at the sight of Boromir touching the blond archer in this way. Boromir carefully pulled the delicate buttocks further apart, widening the narrow, twitching opening a little, but still didn't enter it entirely. He started to slowly push into Legolas, but slipped in only to the first joint of his finger, twisted a bit, and then pulled out again, ignoring the disappointed grunt of the elf. He continued to rub and stroke his fingertip along and over the now expanded but still tight hole, occasionally dipping in only to withdraw again a second later. Within seconds, heavy shudders rippled through the slender body in his arms. The lustful, unsatisfied pants that hit Boromir’s ear only encouraged him to go on teasing his lover mercilessly, and so he continued until the elf was shaking with unfulfilled need, his body rocking against the torturing hand in the desperate try to impale himself . “Please…” The plea slipped from Legolas’ mouth before he could think about it, but it didn’t have the desired effect. Boromir didn’t comply. “Not yet,” he told the excited elf. “Why not?” Legolas breathed, his voice shaky from the arousal. “Everything at the proper time.” “What do you want?” “Make me come first,” Boromir required. “And make it quick. We don’t have all the time in the world for this. We’ve been away from camp far too long already.” Without the slightest hesitance, Legolas groped his way past the human’s waistband and closed a confident hand over the swollen hardness he found there. “I see no difficulty about it,” the elf whispered back as his skillful strokes let Boromir’s breathing hitch. Aragorn’s breath got caught in his throat once more when he witnessed how Legolas’ hand vanished in Boromir’s trousers and instantly found a perfect stroking pace. Burning eyes fixed on the rhythmically moving bulge of Legolas’ working hand in the other human’s pants, he wasn’t even aware of his own hands loosening the straps of his breeches. Aragorn was painfully aroused just from watching the other ones’ foreplay and the touch of his own hand partially eased the uncomfortable feeling of neglect and unsatisfied need. Once freed from its restraints of clothing, the hot, familiar solidness nestled against his rough palm as he closed his fist in a way he knew he would enjoy. He had to muster quite some self-control to resist the frantic urge to fall into a harder rhythm that surely would unleash his pent-up lust within seconds, bringing it all to an end for him before it had even begun. Judging from the intensity of Legolas’ ministrations and the tiny but hard to miss involuntary bucking of Boromir’s hips, Aragorn wasn’t the only one close to completion. Not knowing for how long he could hold out anymore, the ranger was more than glad when he heard a muffled groan fleeing from the other human’s throat. It was the first sound of arousal that had come from Boromir since this had started and Aragorn assumed that it had to mean he was very, very close. But instead of letting the elf rub him to his climax, Boromir suddenly clasped his hand around Legolas’ moving forearm, and a sharp, startled sounding pant from the elf made Aragorn’s gaze snap up from Boromir’s crotch to Legolas’ head. Legolas gasped in surprise when Boromir roughly pulled the elven hand from his straining erection, grabbed him by the shoulders and turned him around in a more than abrupt manner. The elf’s gaze locked with Aragorn’s while one of Boromir’s hands clamped on his hip. The other large, warm palm came to rest between Legolas’ shoulder blades. Before the elf could fully take in the overwhelmingly erotic sight of Aragorn stroking his own, fully erect member, the strong hands of his human lover forced him into another, more unfortunate position. Legolas could hear a strange, abrupt sound from the ranger – probably a blurt of protest – as Boromir bent him over as far as the archer’s flexibility would allow it. He didn’t have to brace himself for being claimed, his muscles were as relaxed as possible. No matter how brusque the invasion he was expecting was going to be, his body would grant it without difficulty. His opening was practically self-dilating in anticipation of accommodating Boromir’s remarkable erection. Shivers of lust vibrated through him when he thought of the filling sensation that had taken him by storm the one time Boromir had penetrated him the other day. He was fed up with all the teasing and caressing, he needed more. More friction, deep thrusts, fierce rhythm and pace. But instead of hot and stretching solidness sliding deep into his yearning body, he felt a few warm, long spurts gush over the waiting crevice of his rear. Not even a second later, deft fingers resumed their work and very patiently spread the sticky, thick liquid, slowly smearing it along the elf’s cleft as well as over and into the with want pulsating orifice. “Why… do you… torture me so…?” Legolas asked between heavy breaths and tried to sound annoyed, but his frustration didn’t manage to outdo his huge excitement and arousal. “It would surprise me if you couldn’t answer this question for yourself, Legolas. After all it is you who mastered the skill of torturing other beings…” Boromir said with a from his climax somewhat shaky yet dangerous sounding voice. “You want to quit playing around? Then get on your knees! And open your eyes, I want you to look at the ranger.” Aragorn’s hand stilled around his still unbelievably swollen erection the second their eyes locked. Legolas manoeuvred himself into a for Boromir more than inviting position, knees and hands stemmed into the earthy forest ground, legs spread, the promising curve of his rear pushed up and out as if begging for being taken. Aragorn was sure that this vision would haunt him for the rest of his life. “What do you want me to do?” Boromir asked and sank down on his knees as well, right behind Legolas. “Lick me… Like you did the other day… at the river,” the elf managed to voice his request, his cloudy eyes still focused on Aragorn’s face who wished for nothing else than to be in Boromir’s place right now. “Lick you? Right after I came all over your sluttish backside? I don’t think so…” Boromir muttered and without warning slid the full length of his finger into the usually hidden opening of the archer’s body that now lay utterly exposed and at his mercy in front of him. The gradual, smooth motion caused a helpless, longing whimper to burst out of Legolas, who gratefully arched his back to grant the penetrating finger better access. Even though this wasn’t exactly what he had asked for, he gave a long, content sigh when Boromir started to move his finger inside of him, pulling out and prodding in with unhurried, unsteady rhythm. Legolas was hot and slick around him, his narrow inner walls relaxed and slippery from Boromir's own essences that had been spent in this secret place mere moments ago. After gently stimulating Legolas from the inside for a while, Boromir pulled his index finger free and immediately replaced it with the middle finger of the same hand. It went in dry but without any difficulty, and slid out again fully coated with sticky, milky body fluid. For a moment, Boromir fingered the elf with an even slower pace than before, his two digits taking turns so they both stayed moist and slick instead of drying in the warm air of the sunny day, but he didn’t wait too long until he entered with both fingers at the same time. He closed his eyes for a moment to fully concentrate on the slithery, hot skin that was clamping his exploring fingers, so soft and yielding yet tightly squeezing. He couldn't keep himself from letting a small groan slip when he once more drove his fingers into the willing opening, lunging into the firm lock of moist, silky skin. When Legolas' rectal muscles twitched again, hard this time, and gripped the human's fingers in a rigid squeeze, Boromir lost control and quickly slid his left hand onto the elf's right buttock to spread the luring crevice and help himself to even more access. An abrupt, loud groan erupted from Legolas' swollen lips when Boromir slipped two additional fingertips into the nervously jerking opening. The elf writhed, his trembling arms and legs threatening to give way, and the human held completely still for a few moments, allowing Legolas to adjust to the new sensation. When he felt the archer's tight ring of muscle relax a bit again, he started to slowly urge both of the additional fingers towards the other two that were waiting motionlessly, buried as deeply in the elven body as they would go. The new intruders had a little more trouble gaining full entrance than the first fingers since it was getting tight now, and Legolas' involuntarily clenching and contracting inner walls didn't make things easier, but at last they glided up into the elf's body up to the hilt. Boromir's own liquids he had worked into the elf not long ago were serving as most excellent lubricant indeed. Once all four fingers stuck in Legolas all the way, Boromir slowly pulled back, sliding out of the slippery, tight heat, just to plunge back in with again all slick digits at once. Legolas hissed sharply, his hands desperately curling into the dark earth beneath them, but still held Aragorn’s burning stare. He started to voice more constant and intense sounds of sensual pleasure when Boromir repeated the motion a few more times and then started to move his fingers deep within him, at first gently but all too soon with more pressure, pulling him apart with slow and careful determination, opening the elf up for what was to follow soon. "Boromir!" Legolas blurted out when the warrior spread his fingers within him, stretching him wide open, and quickly moved one of his arms to claw his hand to Boromir’s wrist, but his grip wasn’t firm enough to affect the human’s actions. And then, in a shivering whisper: "Please..." "Please what?" Boromir wanted to know, slightly curling up his fingers that impaled the elf. Ignoring the slender, trembling hand that was grasping him, he continued to gently flex the elastic walls that surrounded his digits. "I...this...please..." Legolas panted, his eyelids threatening to flutter close, his hand clinging to Boromir's wrist in pure despair. "Please what, Legolas?" the warrior repeated with another twist of his probing fingers that forced a beautiful moan from the elf's wet lips. "More…" Legolas groaned, his hand leaving Boromir’s wrist in order to press into the ground again so the elf wouldn’t lose his balance. Boromir complied eagerly, prodding in as deep as he could possibly get. The harsh and abrupt movement of his hand thrust Legolas light body a little forward and caused him to finally shut his eyes. The elf bit down on his lower lip to keep back a cry that lingered in the back of his throat and waited to burst from him, produced by those filling, pushing and caressing fingers that wound inside of him. It felt as if Boromir was about to tear him apart, each finger of his pushing and twisting, stronger and stronger. The restless fingers had worked him open mercilessly by now and Legolas thought that he could take no more, that he would split if Boromir proceeded. He never before had been opened up by somebody like this, and the mere thought of Boromir enfolding him uncompromisingly in front of Aragorn's eager eyes almost made him come. His mind was clouded by the delicious pain and his unsatisfied desire in such a strong way that he was hardly aware of Boromir talking to him. He could only focus on those torturing, stimulating fingers that dove deeply, rubbed teasingly and twisted harshly. “… want him?” Boromir’s voice reached his ears, very faintly. “What?” Legolas managed to ask in nothing more than a whisper. “I said, do you still want him?!” Another very hard stroke, exactly over the spot that made stars dance in front of his eyes, and this time, Legolas couldn’t bite back the harsh groan. “Yes,” he answered then, his voice trembling with raw lust. “You will get him,” Boromir assured him grimly, and before Legolas could react, manoeuvred him around so that the elf’s rear was no longer facing towards him, but towards Aragorn. Glistening blue eyes glazed with desire met flaming dark, green ones for the shortest of moments, but their gazes were torn apart when Boromir forced the upper part of Legolas’ body down by pulling the elven arms to either sides, robbing the archer of his hold and balance. Once Legolas’ head was pressing against the forest ground while his hips were still pushed up, Boromir placed one of his knees in the nape of the elf’s neck to prevent him from straightening up again. The man from Gondor heard that Legolas muttered something that must be an elven curse, but the archer didn’t start any active attempts to free himself. "Come closer," Boromir told Aragorn, the hoarseness of his voice revealing that he hadn’t fully recovered from his climax yet. The ranger complied wordlessly and approached the couple, his heart pounding madly and his mouth totally dry from thrilling anticipation and excitement. Amused, Boromir watched Aragorn swallowing hard, concerned gaze ranging over the elf's arched marble back. "What are you waiting for?" the man from Gondor asked, faintly smiling at Aragorn's hesitance. The ranger shifted his gaze from the heavily breathing elf to Boromir's noble face and swallowed again, nervously. "Trust me, he is ready for you," Boromir said encouragingly. "Go on, help yourself. And remember that he prefers it the rough way…" Aragorn tried to read the expression in Boromir’s eyes, but it was impossible for him to tell what his comrade’s intentions were. The ranger wasn’t sure whether Boromir only told the truth, or whether he wanted to punish Legolas by inciting Aragorn to take the elf as coarsely as possible. A part of him wanted to punish the archer as well, for his arrogance and brazenness to play himself and Boromir off against each other, but another part of him was too decent to just give in to this carnal, egoistic urge. Not daring to breathe, he dropped his gaze from Boromir’s face to Legolas’ submissive body again and reached out with both hands, carefully touching the blond archer’s smooth and slippery buttocks. A small, hopeful sound slipped from Legolas’ mouth as Aragorn’s fingers fluttered over his sensitive skin in a wordless question for approval. Assured that the elf was consenting to his plans, Aragorn edged closer towards Legolas until the tip of his erection easily slid into the inviting crack of the elf’s rear. The ranger had feared that he wouldn’t find the entrance with the first try or that it would be difficult to penetrate this tiny hidden orifice he was about to explore, but now as he was having a go at it, it felt like the most natural and easiest thing in the world. As if this was what he had waited for his whole life. He didn’t have to think about what to do. He just followed the impulses and let his body dominate over his mind, let his hands hold Legolas’ hips as his own hips moved forward with determination. Once his stiff member’s swollen head was in, tightly buried in moist warmth, Aragorn paused to let the consuming feeling of overwhelming arousal sink in completely. He had intended to stay still for a little longer, but when he felt Legolas contracting around the most sensitive part of his body he couldn’t help pushing forward with a groan, shoving himself as deeply as possible into the being that was stuck beneath him. Legolas, whose head was still pinned to the ground by Boromir’s knee, voiced a trembling, lustful whimper at this untender but most welcome intrusion. The ranger's shaft was long and hard inside of him as it was embedded in his most intimate depths, surrounded by tight but soft inner walls that had been so thoroughly flexed by Boromir’s active fingers. Decency was forgotten the second Aragorn actually acquired entrance into the wondrous ethereal body of his friend, and once his rationality was gone his inhibitions dwindled away, too. All too soon he fell into a forceful and harsh rhythm that left Legolas no time for adaption. He saw the elf arch his back in attempt to adjust, but he couldn't stop himself from descending on the slender, quaking form again and again, pressing and thrusting harder and faster with every heartbeat. Sensual pleasure was avalanching over him until every fibre of his body was set on fire. The sensation was so overwhelming and intoxicating that Aragorn could not have curbed his desires if Legolas had screamed in pain and thrashed about in sheer agony. Driven by the last small spark of propriety and concern that was still left, Aragorn leaned a little forward and slid one of his hands from Legolas’ hip to his front. Keeping up the intensity of his thrusts, he groped for the elf’s member and, when smooth, hot solidness nestled against his palm like iron velvet, closed his hand with just enough force to make Legolas whimper with need. Aragorn felt how the elf angled his pelvis in order to get the hardest possible friction from the ranger’s fist, and realizing that Legolas was more than enjoying their wicked activities, he slammed into the willing, pale body with even more impact. Beautiful, trance-like sounds erupted from the elf at regular intervals now, and soon elvish snippets mingled with the melodious groans. Boromir who couldn’t understand a word assumed that the soft babble was just incoherent, feverish speech with no meaning to it. Only when suddenly Aragorn chimed in, Boromir realized that the elf was not launching out any nonsense, but was in fact talking to the ranger. Aragorn’s Elvish was pale in comparison to the dulcet, tender manner-of-speaking of Legolas, but it flowed off his tongue effortlessly, as if it was his first language. Feeling more than uneasy with the current situation, Boromir wanted to put an end to the secret conversation of his comrades. Since Aragorn didn’t seem to take any notice of Boromir anymore, the man from Gondor assumed that it wouldn’t help if he just spoke to the ranger. Chances were high that he only would be ignored. With that thought in mind and the nagging wish to cut off a dialogue he wasn’t able to follow, Boromir did something he never would have dreamed of. Before Aragorn could say one more Elvish word, Boromir leaned forward and kissed him. The ranger’s eyes shot open with a start, and when his lips parted in a surprised gasp, Boromir took the chance to intensify the kiss. He pressed against Aragorn’s open mouth with determination that didn’t leave room for denial, and his tongue penetrated virtually unhindered. Before Boromir even realized what he had started, Aragorn overcame the shock and reacted with surprising enthusiasm. He kissed back with rough passion, curiously meeting Boromir’s exploring tongue with his own. Now it was Boromir’s turn to gasp softly, taken by surprise by the unexpected sense of delight that was washing over him. The ranger tasted so very different from Legolas, but not in the least less interesting. And, Boromir noted, he was a very gifted kisser. In fact so gifted that Boromir sensed a comfortable, familiar heat slowly growing in his groin. Only few moments later, Boromir felt himself slowly but surely getting hard again which made him forget about Legolas for a moment. As a result, the elf easily managed to wind away from under the distracted human’s knee. Once straightened up between the two broad, warm humans, Legolas let his forehead sink on Boromir’s solidly muscled shoulder. Neither of the Men complained about this new position, or maybe they were just to caught up in their excessive kissing to bother. One of Boromir’s hands had travelled up to Aragorn's head to pull him closer, and now as the new arrangement of the three bodies allowed them to move closer together, his other hand grabbed the ranger's waist, hard. Aragorn groaned loudly, half in pain and half in bliss, without disconnecting from the other human’s mouth. Greedily drawing Boromir's lower lip in between his teeth, Aragorn tightly closed both his arms around Legolas’ ribcage to have a better hold on him while he took him. Boromir shivered as he felt the elf’s lips brushing over his sensitized skin just before Legolas bit his shoulder in order to suppress a sob that threatened to break from him. The impulse to pull away from the pain was smothered by more pleasing sensations when Legolas pushed a hand between them and grasped both of their erections at once, pressing them together while he rubbed them with fast, firm strokes. Legolas was rocked up against him again and again with each thrust Aragorn accomplished and the slender elven body was shaken violently by the overwhelmingly filling sensation of the ranger moving so forcefully inside of him. The archer felt tears pricking at the corners of his eyes and started to energetically suck on Boromir's neck to stifle a scream of both pain and pleasure. Eyes shut tight, Legolas felt Boromir arch his neck into the touch of his bruising lips and nipping teeth. Feeling his climax rushing in on him, Aragorn picked up pace. Driven by insane lust that was clouding his mind, he intensified his long, powerful strokes that plunged into his elven comrade with almost brutal impact. With a guttural, loud moan, he fully pulled out of Legolas, just to slam back in again totally unrestrained, hurling his entire length into the hot, narrow lock of velvety, clamping skin. Legolas groaned against Boromir's neck on which he had produced an impressive, purple love bite by now. While his right hand lay motionless on his own and Boromir’s erect members, the fingers of his left dug into the human warrior’s taut flesh as he clung to him, his delicate frame quaking from the rough, deep pushes that seemed to split him. Then he felt one of Boromir’s hands on the back of his head, holding him almost tenderly, and it soothed him greatly. Legolas slanted into the easing caress of Boromir’s palm and simultaneously tightened his grasp around their erections, again starting to work his hand up and down with unsteady but intense strokes. When a grateful, relishing moan escaped the son of the Steward, Legolas turned his head and lasciviously wetted his lips at the enticing sight of the two male humans sharing deep, intimate kisses, their mouths meeting over Legolas’ shoulder. He couldn't help leaning in to them more closely, slipping out his tongue to graze it along the tight junction of the others’ bruising mouths. He was welcomed eagerly, both men opening their sore lips to him, inviting him to join in. For a moment all three of them shared deep kisses, moist tongues sliding over and between glowing lips, teeth nibbling on wet skin, greedy mouths sucking, exploring, moaning. And all the while Legolas was being pushed into Boromir's comfortably cushioning body in a frantic rhythm, Aragorn's deep thrusts sending vibrations through all of them in a passionate chain reaction. Together, the three spiralled towards release, their climaxes building up with fiery pressure and burning fervour. Legolas came first. He lost the last bit of control he had had over his trembling body and surrendered to the violent, enormous convulsions that took him over completely. His legs gave in, but he was wedged between his two companions so tightly that he did not fall. Limbs slack and frame quaking savagely, he hung between them and couldn't help screaming out his release that claimed his body, mind and soul. His wildly contracting muscles clamped tightly around Aragorn's hard, thick flesh, causing the man to pant in ecstasy and pump even quicker and deeper, while the elf's milky essences shot from the hurtfully swollen tip of his own erection in several long, lusciously painful gushes, bursting all over Boromir's front side. Still flying with the onslaught of his fierce orgasm, Legolas felt Aragorn driving into his prostrate with each blustery plunge while Boromir got hold of his not yet softened cock and miraculously forced another surging flood of hot, sticky liquids from him. The combination of both men stimulating him mercilessly although he had already reached his peak elevated Legolas higher and higher and he cried out again since it was everything he could do to somewhat counterbalance the immense sensual pleasure. The sensation was so intense that he feared he could faint from it. Stars were dancing in front of his eyes, the whole world was spinning around him and he heard himself groan and sob with terrifying force, almost not recognising the loud, whimpering voice as his own. Suddenly a warm mouth closed over his, muffling his strong vocal outbursts. Legolas sucked on it in gratitude, clung his trembling lips to Boromir's in hot despair, and the warrior’s hand that had never left the back of his head supported him, held him close. Only seconds later, Aragorn lost his long battle with stamina and with one last, powerful thrust spent himself in his elven friend. His climax was stressed by an animalistic groan and a rough, but short shudder, and his strong arms clenched Legolas' upper part of the body to force him still so he could press his final stroke as deeply as possible. Legolas whimpered into Boromir's cherishing mouth when the sweet spot inside of him was crushed with this last, ultimate shove, and then lost balance when the ranger glided out of his liquid- filled opening. As soon as Aragorn let go of him, the needed support was lost and the elf instantly collapsed to the ground. Legolas felt both men grabbing him by his arms with startled gasps. They obviously hadn't expected him to be as weakened and worn-out as he actually was, but he only shook his head and refused to let them drag him to his knees again. There was no way he was going to take up an upright position in the next moments. Legolas just lay there for some seconds, trying to catch his breath and relishing the post-orgasmic thrill that was sparking through his exhausted body. The rough stimulation of Aragorn's cock and Boromir's fingers had led to a slightly burning sensation of being sore and overstretched. He felt the rich mixture of Aragorn's and Boromir's fused liquids leaking out of him in slow, gluey streamlets, and some of his own essences drying across his stomach. Eyes closed, he drew peace from the soft rustling of the leaves in the trees that surrounded them and the coolish blades of grass his recovering body was resting on. "Legolas...?" Aragorn asked softly, obviously concerned about the elf's condition. His breathing was still heavy, almost blatant in this sudden quietness that had come over them. "Are you well?" Boromir added with a worried tone and touched the blond male by his shoulder, gently squeezing. Legolas only nodded and then, after some more moments of appreciating the calmness, pushed himself up on his knees again. “Stand,” the elf instructed Boromir who obeyed before realizing what Legolas was about to do. The man from Gondor gasped softly when the archer grasped him by his slim hips, obviously planning to release Boromir from his lasting erection with his skilful mouth, but before he could take him in, the human captured the elf's chin in his large palm and held him back. Confused, Legolas tilted his head back and looked up to his lover, brows furrowed in silent question. "You don't need to, Legolas," Boromir said softly and stroked the smooth cheek with his big, rough thumb. "You are foreworn and exhausted. Don't do it only because you feel obliged to it." "Let me..." Aragorn suddenly said with a hoarse voice, drawing both Legolas' and Boromir's attention towards him before the elf had a chance to react to Boromir’s statement. Legolas nodded faintly, a weak smile crossing his features, turned his head to place a loving kiss on Boromir's finger and then limberly crawled aside again to rest on the soft, comforting moss of the forest ground. Without further explanations, Aragorn stepped closer to the younger human and slowly sank on his knees in front of him. Boromir held his breath in both uncertainness and anticipation, his gaze full of disbelief when he looked down to the dark ranger who returned the stare, only that his dark eyes were expressing hesitance and, much to Boromir's surprise, desire. It was more than clear that the ranger longed for the blond, beautiful elf, but that Aragorn would ever look at him like this, Boromir had never considered posible. "Will you let me taste you?" Aragorn asked in a whisper that sent shivers up Boromir's spine. He only managed to give a single, short nod, his breath still choked back in his throat while the ranger gently placed his rough hands on the other man's damp, firm hips. The restrained breath broke free with a loud groan when Aragorn wrapped his lips around the head of Boromir's erection and then slid down, abruptly embedding him in the moist, hot cave of his mouth. He started sucking in an instant, causing Boromir to bury both his hands in Aragorn's dark hair with a throaty squawk. "Careful..." Boromir instructed in ragged gasps, his hands winding in the dark mass of dirty hair. Aragorn obeyed, doing what he could to swirl his wet tongue around the other man's impressive erection as slowly and teasingly as possible, savouring each and every inch of smooth, glowing flesh he explored. "That's it," Boromir muttered under his breath, his eyelids fluttering close in sheer pleasure. "Oh, that's... don't stop, that's it... Aragorn -" His comrades name burst from Boromir's lips, peaking in a heavy groan as Aragorn slightly intensified his carnal ministrations and sped up his motions. The ranger moaned and closed his eyes too when the other human started to involuntarily thrust in his mouth, driving his hot, hard flesh into him as if he wanted to spear the back of Aragorn’s head. The ranger passionately twisted his tongue around the sleek, swollen crown and gingerly grazed his teeth along the thick shaft, relishing the deep, uncurbed groans that were high above him, encouraging him to proceed. "I wish you could see yourself right now," he suddenly heard Legolas' purring voice from his left. Aragorn opened his eyes and shifted his gaze towards the elf without stopping to suck on the man from Gondor. Legolas watched them, his usually starry eyes curtained with lust, his perfect lips slightly parted in concentration. In an odd way, the sight turned Aragorn on enormously, and he had to dig his fingers into Boromir's taut skin more firmly in order to suppress an evident shudder. "Aragorn, please..." Legolas begged after some more moments of witnessing Aragorn's eager lips sliding up and down Boromir's solid erection. "I want to see him come to release in your mouth. Finish him for me." Determined to bring Boromir to his climax as quickly as possible, Aragorn put even more effort in his actions which, according to the tremors that started to take over Boromir’s body, had the effect both Aragorn and Legolas were hoping for. The hands in the ranger’s hair closed to tight fists, painfully tearing at dark strands in a to and fro of pulling close and pushing away, until Boromir’s whole body froze abruptly, each and every single muscle tensing. Aragorn's eyes fluttered open and he raised his gaze, never stopping to lick and suck fervently at the swollen length that pushed into his mouth, just in time to catch the magical moment. Pure emotion took control over Boromir's features, erratic pants erupting from his parted lips, while his body suddenly started quaking all over. Thick, hot liquid poured over Aragorn's ardently working tongue and showered his palate, quickly filling the cave of his mouth. Boromir's cheeks flushed, his eyes shut tight and his jaw clenched in strain, then loosened with relief, while his fluids streamed and pulsated into his rightful king. The gush of hot, bitter seed was so explosive and lush that some of it overflowed, dripping past glowing, sore lips and down a darkly bearded chin, and Aragorn couldn’t help wondering how there could be so much of it left after such a huge amount of Boromir's liquids had already spouted over Legolas’ backside not long ago. With another deep groan, Boromir let his head fall forward, making his hair sweep over his shoulders, drop into his face and glue to the sweaty, flushed skin while calmer shudders and convulsions rippled through his body, slowly diminishing. Aragorn stared mesmerised, gently letting Boromir slip out of his mouth and absently swallowing the salty liquids, all the while clinging to the other man's hips. He found that Boromir had never looked more vulnerable, purer, more glorious than in this very moment. Suddenly, Boromir sank down on his knees in front of him so they were on one level. His eyes were still closed, his broad chest was heaving quickly and the peacefulness that emanated from him touched something inside Aragorn. He suddenly felt the urge to reach out and caress the younger man's hair and face, to feel the heated sweat of ecstasy he had caused to arise on the sun-tanned skin. He expected Boromir to shy away from his touch, but to his surprise the son of the Steward cocked his head a little and leaned into the gentle caress. Before he knew what he was doing, Aragorn bent forward and lowered his lips on Boromir’s mouth. He felt a large, warm hand wind into the hair at the nape of his neck in wordless approval, but neither of them deepened the kiss. “I’m tired,” Boromir murmured once their lips were disconnected again, his fingers still playing with strands of the ranger’s dark hair. ”Doesn’t surprise me,” Aragorn said with a weak smile. “No,” Boromir agreed and returned the smile faintly, and only a few seconds later they both lay sprawled on the forest floor, face to face. “I’m not going to thank you for this,” Boromir declared in a sleepy voice when he noticed the expectant expression in Aragorn’s eyes. “I know,” the other human replied calmly. Boromir’s hand was still fondling his neck and he closed his eyes, allowing himself to enjoy the tender sensation after all the rough, fast sex. “This won’t happen again,” Boromir added as he leaned a little closer and placed a final, gentle kiss on Aragorn’s temple. Aragorn wasn’t sure whether his brother-in-arms meant the wild activities that had happened between the three of them today, or the intimate tenderness that somehow had developed between only the two of them just now. But when Legolas crouched closer and wound his arms around Boromir from behind, causing the man from Gondor to turn in the embrace and face the elf, Aragorn understood that he meant both. He saw Legolas’ hands caressing Boromir’s broad back, heard the soft sound of lips engaging in affectionate kisses, and realized that after all, he was left out in the cold again. Eventually Aragorn understood that he was again where he had started off, and although he was still gaining pleasant feelings from the aftermath of orgasm, the realization left a bitter aftertaste.
