Today was a lovely day to be outside and in the garden. I was tending to my flowers when there was a whimper behind me. Turning around and seeing a pony with a man no dwarf astride the beast. But something was wrong. His face was flushed and it seems that he has been battling passing out. "Master dwarf are you alright?" I called. Getting up as I wiped the dirt on my gardening trousers. I noticed that his will was defeated as his eyes rolled to the back of his head. He started teetering off his saddle causing me to rush just in time to break his fall so he wouldn't get hurt.
Laying him fully on the ground I noticed blood seeping through his tunic. He was wounded and there is a chance that there is infection setting in. He felt hot to the touch, his body wracked with fever. I got him inside and placed him in my bed and started undressing him to get to the wound. It was a bad belly wound. Going to the kitchen I grabbed the herbs, ointment, medicine, and clean bandages along with hot water and a clean cloth.
Cleaning the wound, putting ointment on the cloth along with the herbs that draw out infection. I tried to make him drink some medicine that can help fight off the infection on the inside. But he wouldn't take it he wouldn't open his mouth. So I did the only thing I could think of. Putting the liquid in my mouth I placed mine upon his and forcefully made him drink it.
Once he was taken care of, I took his coat and tunic. Washing them to get the blood out and started patching his tunic. Once I was finished I went to my room to check on him and place his items in the room. I went out to check on his pony and to feed her and to feed my animals.
It has been five days since his unexpected arrival. He has been asleep for all of them. His fever broke the day before yesterday which I was grateful. I had brought home some soup to feed him when I saw that he was waking up. Setting the tray down I went to him. He tried getting up but I put my hand on his shoulder.
"Please lay still you have a bad belly wound," I whispered to him. He looked at me and settled down. "How are you feeling?"
"Where am I? Who are you?" he asked me. I picked up the tray and sat it down in front of him.
"My name is Adleia and you are in my home master dwarf. I brought you inside because of your wound. You have been here for five days. Now eat and take this to help keep the infection at bay," I smiled and went to leave him to his supper.
"The names Thorin son of Thrain. Where are my clothes, armour and weapons?" I pointed to the bundle in the corner.
"Over there. Everything has been cleaned and mended. Your pony is in my barn with my animals eating her fair share of the hay. Please eat and rest up. I shall be in the sitting room if you need me." I bowed leaving him to his supper. Taking up my book I started to read until I fell asleep.
Thorin stayed another few weeks after he healed. He has been making repairs to my cottage as to repay me for taking care of him. I just finished with supper and setting it on the table. "Thorin supper!" I yelled. I walked back to the table and smiled thinking about the last few weeks. He has told me about his lost homeland Erebor. He knows that I am half hobbit and half dwarf. He knows my story how my parents were killed by orcs.
Thorin came in and sat at the table and we started to eat. I am going to miss having a companion to talk to, to share meals with. He was to leave in a fortnight to return to the Blue Mountains. I felt sad but kept it to myself for I did not want to burden him with an unrequited love.
After supper I gathered the dishes and started to clean up. When I finished I went to the sitting room there I saw him staring at the fire smoking his pipe. "Something on your mind Thorin?" He looked at me and shook his head. I nodded and sat down and picked up my book.
Sitting there reading I heard Thorin move, 'must be heading to bed,' I thought. That was until he sat next to me. Looking up from my book to see what he was doing. He was staring at me making me a little self-conscious. "Is there anything the matter?" He shook his head as his hand came to rest on my cheek. Then catching me off guard his lips crashed to mine. Dropping my book from my lap and kissing him back.
He placed one arm around my back and the other under my knees picking me up with ease. He walked towards my room where he had slept in and laid me down on the bed. His lips came back to mine, it was passionate but steadily turning rough. His hands traveled down to the hem of my tunic and pulling it off me. I blushed as red as one of my tomatoes in my garden. His fingers unfastened my bindings. I tried to cover myself up but he held my hands at my side.
"Do not cover yourself. You are so beautiful," he growled making my face turn scarlet from embarrassment. He laid me down on the bed kissing my lips then heading down my neck, collar-bone, shoulder, chest, and then took my right breast in his mouth and sucked. I gasped as he nipped and sucked. Then a moan flew from my mouth as his hand still traveled down my stomach and sliding under the waistband of my trousers.
He used his knee to spread my legs further apart giving him more access to my secret entrance. He moved to my other breast as his fingers found my sensitive nub and started to stroke it. My hands flew to his hair as he massaged the nub bringing a sensation almost like a coil tightening ever so slightly.
He removed his hand causing me to whimper at the loss. But then he untied my trousers and pulled them off my lower half along with my undergarments. Leaving me completely exposed to his eyes. He stood up and started to disrobe himself. When his trousers fell to the floor revealing his standing manhood I gulped. He was so big and I was a bit worried he'd split me in two. He chuckled as he crawled on top of me.
"You like what you see my lady?" he asked and I just could nod. "Good." His lips covered mine again and his hand went back to my entrance. Instead of the nub his fingers went to my entrance and he slid one finger inside. "Oh so tight." He growled and then added a second finger making me cry out. He started thrusting his fingers into me and that sensation in my lower stomach almost snapped but then he stopped.
"Why did you stop?" I asked panting. Looking at him he smiled and moved to position himself at my entrance.
"You ready?" he asked looking at me. I nodded. He started to slide into me. Stretching and filling me. Finally with a thirst he was fully seated in me. Crying out in a bit of pain he stayed still waiting for me to adjust. He kissed me while caressing my cheek, waiting for me to be comfortable. Once the pain subsided I kissed him letting him know he can move. He did, pulling back and thrust. Setting a rhyme that was calm but starting to get a bit rough.
Then he hit a spot making me call out his name, "Thorin!" He smiled and grunted hitting that spot over and over again until that coil snapped making me fall over the edge into pure bliss. He continued to thrust until he called my name and I felt his warm seed fill my core.
He laid down beside me pulling me into his chest as both of us panted trying to catch our breath back. I pulled the blanket up over our naked bodies and settled down. His arm went around and was calmly rubbing my arm.
Almost asleep Thorin muttered something making me look at him. "What was that Thorin?" I asked. He looked at me through half lidded eyes.
"I said I love you," he looked at me. My eyes widen and looked at him not believing what he said. "I love you Adliea. I want you to be my wife. But now there are talks about retaking Erebor in the year ahead. I am to go and get a company together. I cannot promise you anything as of yet."
"I love you to Thorin. I understand why you want to get your homeland back. Just be safe and do not die on the quest. Also for the next two weeks stay by my side and make sweet love to me," I whispered feeling unwanted tears fall down my cheeks. He smiled and kissed me as his beard scratched my skin.
"That I can do my love." He hovered over me and I could feel his member, hard and pulsing. "Ready my love?" I smiled and nodded as he once again filled me, bringing pleasure to my already hot body.
The two weeks went by fast and it was time to bid Thorin farewell. He kissed me with so much passion. "Stay safe my love. I will be back for you once the quest has been completed." I nodded and kissed him back with so much passion.
"You as well be safe. Come back to me. I will be waiting for you forever. Good bye my king." I bowed to him but he brought my face back to his.
"You shall not bow to me for you are my queen. And future queen of Erebor. I love you." He kissed my lips then my forehead and with that mounted his pony and left. I went back into the now empty house and sat down on the couch and just cried.
A few months passed and I hadn't been feeling well. I went into the small town a few miles from home to get some food and as well to see a healer. Only to find out that I am with child. I smiled placing a hand on my stomach. I am carrying Thorin's child. Going home I went to bed for I felt tired. Laying down in the bed that I shared with Thorin for two weeks and missing him. I hope that his quest finishes soon and that he will make it out alive.
The months passed and still no word on Thorin or his company. I have kept busy with getting things ready for the baby. I grew round as the baby grew inside of me. I went into town and was looking around when I felt a pain run through me. Heading to the healer who helped me into her bed in the back of her home for her patients. I am going to have this baby today.
Hours and much pain later I was holding my beautiful baby girl Lainie. She had dark hair like her father. And when she opened her eyes staring back at me were the orbs that I had fallen in love with. "I wish your father was here to see you." I whispered kissing her fuzzy head of hair.
When I was well enough to travel we went home. I loved being a mother. Lainie was a wonderful baby. Smart and strong just like her papa. A year passed and still no word from Thorin. I have heard that the dragon Smaug has been defeated. Then war raged between the races called "Battle of the Five Armies". But a troubling word spread through the land. That one of the line of Durin has been lost to battle. I prayed every night that it was not Thorin.
As I laid in bed trying to sleep but could not. I looked over at the crib to see my daughter sleeping in a peaceful slumber. I stood up and decided that a cup of tea might help soothe my wandering mind. I went into the kitchen and started the kettle over the dying fire. I went to get more wood but found that I was out and needed to get some from the wood pile. Going back into the bedroom I pulled on my trousers and grabbed my sword for just in case purposes. I will not be caught off guard and will protect myself and my baby.
Going outside and up to the wood pile and started to gather wood when there was a sound from behind me. I was quickly alert but didn't want them to notice. Turning around and started to head to the house when footsteps fell behind me. Dropping the wood and taking out my sword.
"One more step and I will kill you!" I shouted to a shadow in the trees. They chuckled and came out from the trees and I nearly dropped my sword for standing in front of me was the love of my life. "T...Thorin?"
"Yes Adleia. Sorry it took me so long to come back to you." I ran into his arms as he held me. I had started to cry but a shrill cry had me jolting as I realized that it was Lainie. Opening my eyes and looking around, I was back in my bed with a crying daughter. I felt tears trickle down my face as I got up and picked up the fussy toddler. Getting up, I changed her and started to feed her by the fire. She finally calmed down. Both of us laid down on the sofa in the sitting room.
Once she was asleep I put her back in her crib and laid down myself. Wrapping the blankets around me and snuggling deep into the warmth they still held. Sleep took me instantly. Dreams of Thorin haunted me making me believe that he would come back to me. But who was I fooling? He is a king and I am just some little half-breed with no race who has had a child out-of-wedlock.
Over the next few days Lainie had decided that she wants to start learning to walk. We were out in the garden and I was helping her walk. A startling sound erupted through the air causing us to jump and Lainie started crying. Picking her up I tried to calm her down. Finally when she was calmed down three man rode up to my home. They had cloaks on and hoods covered their faces.
"Who are you what do you want?" I asked being protective. These men do not need to be here. "I have done nothing wrong now please leave." The men dismounted from the ponies as one came up to me. The other two stood by their steeds watching us. The one who was in front of me reached out to touch my daughter. I backed away holding her to my chest.
"Is she mine?" the man spoke. I looked at him and shook my head.
"She is mine and mine alone. I do not know who you are sir but please leave," I demanded trying to get into the safety of the house. But the man pushed me into the door and before I knew it his lips were on mine.
Lips that felt so familiar. His calloused hands went to my cheeks caressing them. Finally he took off his hood and standing there in his full glory. A crown of gold laid upon his head. "Have you moved on without me? If the child is someone else's then I shall leave and never come back." He turned and started walking away from me. Fearing that this to was a dream I reached out and grabbed his cloak.
"Thorin!" I cried. "Please don't go. Please tell me this isn't a dream." I buried my head into his back. He turned around and smiled at me.
"I will go nowhere without you," he said kissing me again. Lainie gurgled in my arm causing Thorin and I to giggle. "So who is this little beauty?" He asked taking her from my arms.
"Our daughter Lainie. Lainie baby this is your papa," I said watching as she put her hand on his nose.
"Pa...pa," she said in her baby babble. I smiled watching Thorin smile as he held our daughter. I invited the three of them inside for a bit of an early lunch. Learning that the two who rode with Thorin were his nephews. They were playing with Lainie while Thorin and I spoke.
"I am sorry it took me so long to come back for you. I wanted to be sure that there was no more dangers for my kin. And for you my queen." I snuggled into his chest as his arms tightened around me.
"I heard someone was slain during the BOFA's. A Durin I am so glad that it wasn't you or your nephews. But tell me darling who was the one slain in battle?" I asked looking into his blue eyes.
"My cousin Dain from the Iron Hills."
"I am so sorry Thorin," I looked at him. I kissed him. Oh how I have missed those lips.
That afternoon we traveled to Erebor after gathering all my animals to sell in the near by village. Taking my pony with us for I could never give up him up. We got back to Erebor within a week. We were welcomed among the crowd and a dwarf woman who must have been Thorin's sister and Fili and Kili's mother. Lady Dis met us at the entrance of the magnificent dwarven city.
"You must be my future sister-in-law. And who is this precious little one?" she asked taking Lainie from my arms.
"My daughter Lainie," I said to her.
"Our daughter," Thorin said making Dis look at him then at the child in her arms.
"She is beautiful. My little niece Lainie." She went off into the mountain making me look at Thorin as he just chuckled. Showing me around we made it to the throne room.
"We shall get married in two weeks. My queen has waited long enough," he said kissing my head. I smiled and hugged him with everything I had. My dreams were finally coming true.
Two weeks passed and it was the day of the ceremony. Dis helped me get dress and showed me the way. I still get lost in this big underground city. Gandalf the Grey married Thorin and I. Everything seemed to fall right into place. Nothing could make it better. Oh wait something could make it even better. Being pregnant with Thorin's son. But that wont happen for many years.
So ends my story how I met and fell in love with Thorin Son of Thrain, Son of Thror, King under the mountain.
