Excerpt:

The Sun. Always the Sun. How could her eyes, as tired as they were, open of their own accord? How could her feet carry her, of their own volition, to the tiny deck outside her living room? How could her mind, normally sane and logical, accept his presence as he stepped behind her? What was this need that not only consented to the hands on her shoulders but actually welcomed them?

The Sun. Golden glorious rays. A soft warm caress. A lover's touch. That spark of anticipation deep inside her belly as the sky lightened. She'd never known so many shades of gray could blend into pale yellow then burst upon the horizon with bright white light.

Nor had she known that the white light would burst inside of her, ripple under her skin, tantalize and tease her every sense. Such power. From her muscles to her bones to her individual cells, they all cried out with anticipation. But none more than her core, that deepest part of her, the place that made her—her.

She wanted. Not just the energy she absorbed and drank in like a greedy infant. She wanted more. Not just the molten heat deep inside her belly. She wanted him.

The pressure of his fingers increased. If she turned, he'd know. Deep inside, she was certain he knew already. Her body betrayed her, circling to meet his gaze. She'd never realized there were rings of fire around his irises. She'd never realized his eyes were almost silver, brilliant like a flash of light against polished chrome.

She'd called him Elrond that first time they met, likening him to the Master of Imladris. A leader who was hard from battling the forces of evil but just. A leader who was weary from shouldering the responsibility of saving a world he would eventually leave.
