She decided she didn't want to spend not even one more minute alone. After eight she went down to the living room and turned on the DVD. She later decided to pay Kili a visit. She gently knocked on the door, but heard no answer, so after a brief moment of hesitation she opened the door. He was sleeping on the bed at least that was what she thought he was doing. So she sneaked up and hugged him from behind.

"Are you sleeping?" She asked straight into his ear.

"No, just thinking." He replied.

"Thinking about what?" She asked tentatively.

"It's going to be really difficult to sleep here without you." She heard him whisper.

"You're not going to sleep yet." She kissed him. "Come on, let's go watch a film. I think we've got some popcorn in the kitchen." She pulled his hand and forced him to follow. And he would never dare to protest.

In the middle of watching Alien, Gimli and Legolas joined them in the living room. Just before the second film, Fili and Dain joined in as well. After the fourth part of the film, they all decided it was time to end for the day. And everyone went to their own room.

As soon as Tauriel came back to hers, she heard a knock on the door. It was Legolas.

"Can I talk with you?" He demanded.

"Of course." She let him enter.

"So how do you like the house, and our house mates?" He asked her sitting down on an armchair.

"The house is great, and I think we'll get along just fine." She replied.

"Are you nervous before tomorrow?" He asked.

"Not really." She replied. "Anxious is more accurate."

"I was just wondering, why are you nervous then?" He asked looking her straight in the eye.

"I'm not nervous." She tried to hide her real feelings.

"You're a horrible liar." He noticed. "So I wish you would never lie to me again." He said in a stone cold voice.

She just remained silent. "I'll be fine." She whispered after a moment. "I have to get used to this, but it's already much better than I thought. I just hope I'll manage with my studies."

"Of course you'll manage. You're too smart not to handle it." He smiled at her. "Just promise me one thing, after all what happened last year, if anyone bothers you, if you feel uncomfortable living with so many men, or anything, promise you'll tell me immediately." He got up and started heading towards the door, and stopped just before the door. "And one more thing, if we ever have a party again, make sure to lock your door." He noticed the slight blush on her face, and briefly wondered about it, but decided not to elaborate just yet.

. . . . .

Sometime before dawn he was woken up by a warm Tauriel who slipped under his cover.

"I couldn't sleep." She whispered. "I hope you don't mind."

"Of course I don't mind."Kili replied softly. He wasn't sleeping well anyway.

They snuggled in together and wrapped each other's arms. Suddenly his bed went from cold to pleasantly warm. He scooped her closer towards him, and gently brushed his lips over her forehead. They feel asleep holding tightly.

She was woken up by sweet kisses, and a fierce tongue and gentle hands. She flipped him over and sat on him, and forced him to deepen the kiss even more.

"I'm never going to get enough of you." She whispered, tearing his pyjamas off him.

"I sincerely hope so!" He smiled and flipped her on her back.

"Tomorrow night, you're walking upstairs." She smiled kissing him. "I'm not going to be the only one snooping around the house at night."

"Any more demands my Queen?" He joked.

"I want more." She simply said.

"More of what?" He asked gently touching her breast.

"More of everything, more of you, more sex, more kisses..." With every word she kissed him going down his body.

"Are you sure you can handle all I can give you?" He asked gasping when she reached her destination.

She grabbed his length into her hands and started to stroke him. "We'll find out soon enough." She took him into her mouth, just to hear him gasp for air. He couldn't believe her, she was so sexual, so thrilling. He grabbed her and forced her down. He pushed his tongue into her mouth, in one swift move pushed her legs open and force himself into her. She trembled at the force he was showing. But it was a pleasant feeling. To feel being wanted that much. She was so wet for him, still feeling the need for more. She knew he would have nail marks on his back later, but she didn't care.

"Until you tire of me, I want sex every day. I don't care when or how, but I want it." She demanded.

He smiled at her wildly, and spoke in a husky tone "I'll never tire of you, you're a dream come true."

"No, you're my dream come true." She pulled him even closer.

. . . . .

Pretending everything was as before was demanding for both of them. Just sitting in the kitchen drinking coffee with all the other people in the house was difficult. He longed to sit right next to her all the time, to touch her, hold her and be able to kiss her in public. Only the idea that they were driving together to the lecture hall, and that they would probably spend a part of the day together soothed his pain. He could get used to sneaking in the middle of the night, getting chaste kisses when they were alone. But he would never get used to restraining himself in all public places.

"Come on registration is at 10!" Tauriel hurried him to finish his coffee.

"I'm coming, just give me a minute." Kili replied.

"I'll meet you by the car." She urged him.

. . . . .

Their schedules were practically identical, at least for MBA, most of Kili's art classes were in the afternoons, so they would enough time to eat lunch together. However later she would have to manage her time alone, which saddened her. They sat together Tauriel working on her laptop, and Kili drawing in a sketch book. First year they had Accounting, International Trade, and many other boring subjects, Kili already knew he would be drawing most of the time anyway. Tauriel curiously kept glancing at what he was drawing, but at least she tried to focus on the lecturer. Soon they discovered one more advantage of having the course together; holding hands under the table was very comforting for both.

They had lunch in a small bar just across the street to the lecturing hall, similarly to many of the students in the area. Soon they had to part, Tauriel decided to return home, and Kili had his first art classes.

. . . . .

Sneaking around worked well for some time, although several times they were really close to getting caught. Like the first time Kili came into her room on the first day of their studies. He stood for a moment looking at her photo on the wall. And then he simply went crazy pulling her down on the floor, and pulling her dress up madly. He took her from behind, bending her backwards and staring at the photo. She was so surprised and trilled with what he was doing, that she forgot about the world. So when her brother knocked on the door, asking why it's locked, she had to focus hard on making her voice normal and answering that she was just changing her clothes. Kili disregarding what was happening still held her tightly and simply slowed down and continued to fuck her. She managed to reply that she would come downstairs in a few minutes, and thankfully Legolas didn't ask anymore.
