We were dragged apart by Fili and Dis, who cuddled us to death, nearly suffocating me, but I still smiled and I loved it. I was happy, the happiest I have ever been. A Million people were hugging and congratulating us, but my eyes never left Kili and our hand were interlaced all the time.
After what seemed forever I heard Thorin's voice "Now let's let the lovebirds' breath and continue with the celebration, and celebrate their engagement and my birthday by emptying the remains of our wine cellars." The crowds around us roared and finally I was able to breath freely again. I felt restless and bubbly, Kili took my hand and pulled me close to him. "Hey love" he whispered into my ear and I giggled like a little girl, he smirked. Now I leaned forward so my lips touched his ear "Do you think they'd mind us disappearing for a while to do some naughty things in the empty hallways or the kitchen?" I let my hands wander over his torso and slip to the waistband of his fancy trousers. I felt him draw a shaky breath and his hands wandered to my hips and he grabbed them tight. "As tempting as the thought of ravishing you in the halls is, I think we should celebrate your father's birthday at least a little bit." With this words he pulled away from me and I knew the end of the night would be amazing, but for now we were stuck here.
Okay being stuck here was not too bad, it was Thorin's birthday party after all. I smiled at Kili, my fiancé, and was suddenly in a party mood, from the sparkle in his eyes I could tell he was as well. He took my hand and pulled me over to our table, were I sat between him and Fili. Fili was in the best mood and smiled at me while filling my glass with wine. I returned the smile, lifted my glass and emptied it in one big gulp, bad idea. That was the strong wine, form the south with a lot more alcohol in it than ours. Oh that will go straight to my head. Kili and Fili stared at me, then they laughed. "Careful love, or I'll have to carry you home tonight." Kili warned but refilled my glass nevertheless. "I needed it, I was a little bit stressed out lately. You know, my boyfriend had been acting weird for weeks and I thought he'd leave me and then I was forced into a surprise, I was so freaked out I almost panicked and ran away." I meant no harm in what I said, but Kili looked shocked and hurt, oh gods, what did I say to offend him. "You thought I would leave you? You really thought that?" now I understood why he was hurt, he thought I had no trust in him, I felt terrible. "i…Kili…we.." I had no words and I didn't need any, because he took my hands in his and whispered "I know. I know you, better than anyone in this world. I understand you were overthinking and panicked. I'm sorry I gave you a reason to panic, but I wanted this to be the perfect moment. Did I get it right, was it the perfect proposal?" he smiled hopefully and I snickered, he looked like a kid, waiting for his parents to tell him that he did well. So I kissed him "Kili son of Dis, you indeed made this proposal perfect! Although it would have been just as perfect if you'd asked me this morning at breakfast." Next to me, Fili burst into a laughter, hardly able to breathe. "Oh my gods, I can imagine that so well. He'd be like: oh darling can you pass me the honey, thanks. And hey, would you marry me? And while asking you he'd put butter on his toast and not even look at you. And you…." He had to make a break to laugh some more and breath "You'd say nothing, but punch his in the face with a wooden plate and leave." "And I would have taken that as a yes!" Kili finished is brothers story, oh yes that would have been a great proposal. "Oh so romantic, I can imagine us, sitting by the fire with our great grandchildren saying things like: remember when I hit you with a wooden plate because you wanted to marry me." Thorin, Dwalin and Dis looked over to us now, pretty confused by what we said, but we didn't mind and just continued. "They would love this story!" Kili said and I finally stopped laughing only occasional giggles leaving me. The boys had calmed down too and the food arrived. I was starving, I hadn't even realised that I didn't eat all day except for breakfast and now I filled my plate and so did everyone else.
For the first minutes of dinner the hall was very silent, everyone was busy putting food into their mouths, slowly the chatting resumed. And Thorin told me about Kili's preparations, my poor fiancé sitting between us and turned bright red. Father said that Kili almost suffocated on a glass of beer when he asked him for my hand, because he was so nervous. "I didn't understand why he asked at all, I mean that was a pretty obvious thing with you two and I expected him to know I was fine with a wedding." Thorin said and smiled at us, I returned it happily. "And then he made all the fuzz with the preparations, so you wouldn't find out and it would be perfect. If you ask me, it was way too cheesy." Of course Dwalin couldn't stay out of the conversation. "Good, that no one's asking you." Kili snapped at him and I chuckled, he would let no one say anything against his proposal. We then found another topic, as we figured we had embarrassed my poor Kili enough, for now. I'll ask Fili tomorrow about more details, I made a mental remark to go on a riding trip with him for more information. Just as I had this thought, Fili leaned closer and said: "You, me, a ridding trip and more information about this the day after tomorrow?" "You my dear brother, can read my mind." We shared a smile and finished dinner.
As the music started I knew the time of sitting around peacefully was over, the dancing started and within a few seconds Kili had brought us on the dancefloor. How could he be so quick? My face must have shown confusion because he barked a laugh and kissed me quickly before he started to spin us around.
I found myself in the arms of Fili, Dwalin, Thorin, Balin and many other friend before the end of the night, I even danced with Dis. Finally I got a few minutes of rest and looked over the hall, not many people were left and I searched the remaining face for the one of my love, but I couldn't find him anywhere. Did he leave already without me? Or did he pass out drunk under a table? Both very unlikely.
Suddenly I felt an arm around my waist and a hand on my mouth, I was dragged backwards out of the hall. Hadn't I known this hands by heart, I would have panicked.
As we escaped the hall and reached some dark hallway, Kili let go of me, but in an instant he pressed me against the wall, his lips at my ear. "You are mine now!" he growled in a deep, husky and demanding voice that sent shiver down my spine and emerged sparks in my lower region. Then he attacked my neck with his lips and teeth. I felt my body go limp in his arms and couldn't hold back a moan. I would never muffle my sounds in bed, for I knew what they did to my lover and how much he loved hearing them. And now they spurred him on even more, his hands roamed my body and he pressed himself even closer to me, how I loved the feeling of his body pressed against mine.
All of a sudden he picked me up and held me, so I could wrap my legs around his waist. His hands were on my butt, carefully squeezing and massaging it. My arms sneaked their way around his neck and held onto him for dear life. "Hold on" he said and then we walked away, I was still in his arms (kind of) and we walked down a hallway. But this was not the way to either his or my chambers, where were we going?
