This one's much shorter, sorry about that. Shameful form really, I should have had at least ONE few thousand word chapter of nothing but tastefully written buggering by now. Maybe next time. If you're good and eat all your tea.
Speaking of next time, I'm running out of good words to use. If anyone wants to suggest some, do feel free. I'm interested to see what my fellow Kiliel shippers are wanting from their OTP.
To Walk in Starlight
4. Beautiful
Tauriel could scarcely breathe.
The light from the single small lamp on the bedside table sank deeply into Kíli's unruly locks, setting the dark strands aflame with a golden glow and lending his skin a rosy hue against the white sheets.
Kíli smiled, curling further into her embrace with a contented sigh. Tauriel smiled back, leaning over to press a soft kiss to his forehead. She paused to see his dark eyes glimmer before allowing him to pull her down for a deep kiss.
"You are beautiful, my love."
He watched her, eyes soft and tender at her reverent whisper. He reached up to cradle her cheek, and she covered his warm, rough hand with her own before pulling it to her lips so she could press many kisses to the skin. She gently stroked the long fingers of her free hand through the ever-tousled waves of his hair, and saw the heavens she loved so dearly glitter within them.
"You are so very beautiful."
Thanks for reading!
