Yours to command  by Lialathuveril 12 Review(s)

“Because you are engaged to marry Wilwarin,” she whispered, the words like shards of broken glass in her mouth.

...which exactly was the moment when I collapsed over my keyboard, nearly sobbing with hysterical relief. Fi-nal-ly.

Deep within her, at the very bottom of her soul, something woke. It stirred and lifted its head, slowly stretching curled-up wings, and then with a mighty leap took off into the air. The dragon’s deafening roar filled her ears, its fire flooded her veins, running like a wildfire through her, burning away all rational thought. Hunger. Need. Desire. She pressed her body against Éomer and buried her hands in his hair, roughly pulling his head down, demanding more. For a heartbeat he froze, then his arms clamped around her with the strength of a battle-hardened warrior, one hand holding the nape of her neck like a vice. His kiss neither gentle nor restrained, but scalding hot and insistent. The dragon within her rejoiced, matching him passion for passion, and she let herself slip into a spinning vortex of colour, a vibrant swirling of red and gold.

Ohhhh. Wonderful. Deliciously hot and sensual. Brilliant description, my dear.

Can't wait to read more!

Author Reply: Like I said in my last reply, I couldn't resist adding a few more misunderstandings, but they did sort things out in the end. Isn't it a good thing Eowyn's garden is so neglected that it abounds with fireflies?

And I've been trying to include pictures of light and darkness and of fire throughout the story, so the dragon seemed to fit. Thank you for your praise!

Oh my. That was such a satisfying chapter. Thank Eru they spoke truth to one another. The passage that starts

Deep within her, at the very bottom of her soul, something woke

is extremely well written. Very powerful.

Imrahil may doubt his daughter will make a good queen of Rohan but he's going to have to stop seeing Lothiriel as incompetent and accept it. And I still fervently hope something horrible and public happens to Wilwarin.

Author Reply: Thank you! Yes, I think the two deserve a little bit of happiness after all the trouble I've put them through! Especially as you never know what the future will bring...

Imrahil might still take a bit of convincing, though. I don't think that Lothiriel's behaviour the last few days has pleased him very much.
