Chapter 25- Respite at Beorns warning chapter content
"What is that?" Nori asked as Kili , Dwalin and Bombar collapsed against the massive wooden door. "That is our host."Gandalf said as everyone talked amoungst themselves. "His name is Beorn, he's a skin changer." Thorin who was standing next to Philicia as she sat on a chair looked at her when Gandalf said the name she had told him last night. "Sometimes he's a huge black bear, sometime's he's a big strong man." Gandalf made his way to the opening in the barn that led to the living quarters. " The bear is unpredictable, the man, can be reasoned with . However he is not overly fond of dwarve's". Just then they heard a roar outside "He's leaving." Nori said his hands still on the door." Come away from there", his brother said pulling him by his tunic. "It's not natural , it's obvious he's under some dark spell." Dori said. "Don't be a fool he's under no enchantement but his own." Gandalf said as all the company went quiet their eye's upon him. "Now, get some sleep all of you. You will be safe here for the night". "I hope." The wizard wispered to himself. "Gandalf," Philicia called out. "Should I find some blanket's. She remembered from the book the animals could help them so she found one of the dog's. "Come her,it's ok ." Philicia called to a brown and black dog as it sat in a corner. The dog sniffed her hand then licked her. "Your a cutie",she said scratching the canine behind the ear's. "Do you know where the blanket's and pillows are?" She asked the dog patting it gently. The dog barked and ran down the long hallway stopping in front of a closet. Philicia noticed there were several rooms in the house ,enough for most of them. She began handing out blanket's and pillows as the darves readied themselves for some sleep. "I don't know about anyone else but I am sleeping in a real bed tonight." She told Thorin. Keeping a close watch on Thorin she noticed how he held his side when sitting down. "How are you felling?"She asked him . Philicia had noticed how slow Thorin was walking his breaths pained with each one he took. "My side is hurting and all that running did not help any I am sure." He said his hand holding his side. "Do you want me to ask Oin to brew that tea for you?" She glanced at the king as he nodded his head yes. "K, I will be right back." Philicia found a bathroom atttached to the room she had taken and was running hot water in the tub for Thorin. So while he washed the dirt and grime from his body letting the hot water soothe his aching side Philicia retured with the pain killing drought."Thorin." She callled. "How are you doing, do you need anything?" "I am alright however I cannot reach around to scrub my back side it hurt's." She opend the door the moisture from the hot water filling her sinuses. "Here let me do that." Philicia put some body wash on her poof spounge and began scrubbing Thorins back . She rubbed in a circular motion starting at his shoulder blades and ending just before his behind. "Better?" She asked dipping the spounge in the water. "Yes,thank you. He said pulling her to him for a kiss. "Bombur found food in the kitchen and has something prepared for all of us." Philicia said as she stood up."Good I am starved." Thorin answered dunking his whole head in the water torince his hair. "Me too, I'll leave you to finish." Philicia made sure everyone had what they needed for the night . The rest of the company had found the other bathroom and all took turnes washing up also . Now they were seated around the huge table eating the stew Bombur had made. "I'll be right back I need to check on Thorin ,a he might need help getting out of the tub." Philicia turned red as she looked at the feasting dwarves. "Let us know if you need help."Fili said. "I will thank's." With that she practically ran down the hall with embarresment. She opend the door as Thorin came out of the bathroom a towel draped around his slim waist. Philicia looked him over she swore there was not an ounce of fat on him anywhere just pure solid muscle. He had a lot of scars tho from past battles. Dwarves wore their scars as honor badges and each one had it's own story to tell. "I feel a little better now." He said reaching for the drought and taking a long drink of the bitter brew, however it wasn't bitter. Thorin looked at Philicia. "I found some honey to sweeten it a little bit ." Philicia answered anticipating his question. "It's much better this way." He said taking another sip. "Good, now I am going to get clean." She went into the bathroom and closed the door. "Philicia I will be with the frombeyond the door. "Ok Thanks." She sunk into the hot water dunking her whole body under scrubbing the dirt dried blood and muck from her hair. Philicia relaxed in the hot water wondering if Thorin would be beside her this night or would he choose to bed down with the others. Fili and Kili had got the room down the hall from them and the rest worked out the sleeping arrangement's accordingly. The only room that remained untouched was the one that was Beorn's out of respect for their host. Philicia came and joined the others her hair still wrapped in a towel. They all ate till they were full and then sat around the hearth talking about their adventures ,the quest and what had to be done once Erebor was retaken and the dragon killed. Thorin and Balin were talking in a corner Bilbo was falling asleep on the haypile and Ori, Dori and Nori were already snoring. Fili and Kili announced they were turning in too and one by one they all made their way to the sleeping places for the night. Thorin, Philicia and Balin were the only ones still up. "Are you ready for all that still lies ahead lass?" Balin asked his kind eye's catching hers. "I don't know I will just have to take it day by day. Besides with this one I can't go wrong." Philicia smiled as she sat down between Thorin's legs laying her head against his chest. "You, Philicia, I think my people will love, as I do." He reassured her as his hand's began playing with her long firey golden locks. "You removed your braid." Thorin said taking up the section he had braided in Bree all those week's ago. "Yeah It was a mess the beads are on the counter in the bathroom I was kinda hoping you would rebraid it for me." Philicia turned around as she met his deep sapphire irises. Thorin winced grabbing his side nearly stumbling as he got up. "I will see you in the morning Balin."Thorin said taking Philicia's hand in his. "Sleep good you two, goodnight. Balin then went to join his brother. "Well I don't know about you but I am going to sleep good tonight. We don't have to be worried about the orc pack getting us here." Philicia knew that Beron in his bear form was protecting his property. "Indeed we don't." Thorin said shutting the door and barring it behind him. Philicia pulled the clean sheets back and climbed upon the huge bed that was clearly too big but very comfortable."Oh yes I could sleep here forever." She said watching Thorin make a fire in the hearth. "There, we should be warm for the night." He said poking at the log's with the long poker that was next to the fireplace. Philicia felt the mattress give under Thorins weight and then he was encasing her in the warmpth of his arm's. "Are you going to do my hair? "She asked. "Can I fix it in the morning my love the tea is making me sleepy."Thorin asked snuggeling next to her back. "That will be fine. I love you my king." She said kissing him goodnight. Thorin was asleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow . Philicia found sleep not so easy her thought's were everywhere and even tho she was tired she could not sleep.
Philicia tossed and turned all the while trying not to wake Thorin. He was sprattled out on his stomach his huge arms tucked under his head. "Oh this is redicilious." She said quietly climbing out of the bed and sitting on the overstuffed chair in the corner of the room curling her leg's underneath her. Philicia stared out the window and a she did so she started humming the tune to Poco's Heart Of The NIght.
"Da da da da -da da da -ba da da da da - In the heart of the night ,in the cool falling rain, There's a full moon in sight, shinin down on Lake Ponchitrain, and the river she rises, just like she used to do, she's so full of surprises, she reminds me of you, In the heart of the night . Thorin was woken up to the sound of Philicias voice. He turned over and rubbing his eye's to clear his vision he spotted her sitting in the chair staring out the window lost in her song. I trust in your love,never falling down , and I trust in your love like I do in this town. Oh never falling down, never falling down, In the heart of the night in the cool southers rain ,there's a full moon shining down on Lake Ponchatrain, and the river she rises, just like she used to do ,she's so full of surprises, she reminds me of you, right here, In the heart of the night ,in the heart of the ni-ight .
"Oh Thorin what am I going to do." He sat up hearing his name fall upon her lip's. "Please don't wake me, don't shake me ,if it's only ,just a dream, cause it's the only way, I can say. to make it feel so right with that dixie moon." She buried her hand's in her face weeping softly. Philicia didn't hear Thorin get out of bed she only felt his arm's wrap around her. "What troubles you so,my heart?" He asked looking upon her tear streaked face. "What if this is only just a dream and I am going to wake up in my room at Ms. Abigail's." With that she broke down crying on Thorin as he wispered soothing word's in her ear. "I would never have really known you, or your love. How would I go on without you?" Thorin said nothing as he placed his hand's gently on her head pulling her mouth to his. He meant the kiss to be soft and tender but the second her lip's touched his flames shot all over him leaving Thorin shaking as he ran his tounge over her lip. Philicia opend her warm recess as his mouth latched onto her's. He kissed her deeply and she returned the kiss biting and sucking on his lower lip all the while their mouth's teased and tormented eachother. Felling's Philicia had never known before began to pool in her middle till she was moaning Thorin's name ." My heart ,my love , menu tessu, You are everything." He translated. Even tho it hurt his side Thorin picked Philica up and carried her back to the bed. He very gently placed her on the soft mattress . She scooted back till her head reached the top as Thorin came up beside her. He held his hand over his side every breath a stabbing pain. "Are you ok, maybe I should have walked over here." She said watching the pained expression on his striking face. "I will live."He answered her stretching his length out as his arm reached out under her back and bringing her head so it lay in the crook of his arm her breast and stomach pressed up next to him. "I love you so very much." She said letting her hand rest over his pounding heart. Thorin pulled her up till she lay over him as he started kissing her again this time more passionatly. He nuzzled the side of her exposed neck letting his lips softly trace their way to her mouth . Thorin kissed her forehead. her chin even her eye's all the while telling her of his love alternating between Kazadul and the common tounge. He wrapped his arm's around her rolling till she was beneath him. "You are so beautiful, what did I ever do to deserve someone like you?" Thorin wispered gazing into her fathomless purple eye's. "I was thinking the same thing after all you are a king and me I am not even nothing just Philicia Anderson from a far away world." She wispered her eyes misting up again. "You are all I will ever need and the only one I will ever love." Thorin breathed dropping a tender kiss upon her lip's. Philicia reached up and let her hand cup Thorin's cheek his beard soft to the touch. He closed his eye's as she caressed his face her hand reaching up to tangle in his raven locks as they fell like a shroud over his shoulder's. Thorin gasped as Philicia's other hand reached beneath his shirt letting her fingers slide over his bare skin. She ran her digit's up and down his back then wrapped both arm's around his waist pulling him closer to her. Thorin's hands went behind her head as his lip's crashed down over her's. "Do you know what you are doing to me?" He hissed through his teeth as desire exploded within him. "By Mahal woman I would have you now." Thorin pulled her to sit up as his hands swiftly removed her shirt . His eye's went to her bare breast the pink circles around the tiny bud in the middle his mouth taking her purt nipple between his lips suckling gently. Philicia moaned softly grabbing a fist full of Thorin's hair when he swirled his tounge around her nipple. She could feel his fingertip's sliding down her stomach then on the inside of her leg . "I have wanted to touch you like this for so long now." Thorin breathed. "Do you want this?" He asked permission before continuing on. "Be gentle ,please?"She pleaded. Thorin smiled at her receiving the answer he had hoped to hear. "I will not do anything to cause you pain if you want me to stop you have but to tell me." Thorin kissed her as his finger touched her soft curls for the first time. He searched for the nub of nerves and upon finding it began rubbing his thumb over it in a circular motion. His thick finger slipping between her moist fold's . He very slowly moved it in and out till a wimper caught in her throat. The sensation stung a little as his digit's tested her untried body. "Oh God Thorin."She breathec as a soft moan was torn from her mouth. "What are you doing to me?" She was panting and moaning as he slipped another finger inside of her taking her breast in his mouth again. "I swear it Philicia you will still be a maiden when we." Thorin never finished what he was saying for Philicia had pulled his lip's down to her's moaning into his mouth as she felt a coiling in her middle like a spring ready to burst. "That's it my love, let it go I have got you." With Thorins word's she felt unimaginable pleasure wash over her in a rolling tide. She cried out Thorin's name as his lips came down on hers drowning her cries in his mouth. When the waves receded she was left breathless and now she wanted to give back. Philicia reached down and slippped her hand in his breeches letting her fingers curl around his engourged member. "Ahhh."Came a deep moan as she applied a little pressure rubing his tip with her thumb. He was so thick her fingers would not even touch and she wondered again how they ever would be close like that . Philicia did the same thing she had in Rivendell she let her hand slide up and down his length. After a few minute's Thorin was moaning and deep groans were coming from his throat. "Oh yes that feel so Ohh, my love I am not going to last." He panted as another tremor shot out through his body. "Oooho, Ohoo Mahal I can't hold back." Thorin came hard, the milky white substance spurting all over her stomach as his body shook with the tremors of release. rolling to his side he reached for the discarded towel from his earlier bath. Thorin wiped her stomach off with the towel and pulled Philicia into his arm's . "Are you alright? " She asked gesturing to his side. "Are you?" He asked stroaking her face. "I have never felt like that ,it was ,there's no word's to describe it." Thorin kissed her softly and then . "You have never touched yourself not even when bathing?"he asked? ". " She answered her gaze bouring into his. "And you,have you ever, you know?" Thorin propped his head up on his hand. "A few times when I was much younger and only when the need was great." He brushed her cheek with the back of his hand bringing their mouth's together in a passionate kiss. "Thorin, can I ask you something? " She trembled as she spoke. "Ask away my heart." "Have you really never been with anyone?" Thorin looked in her eye's intensly. "I have never had time for such endeavors, after the dragon attack and the kingship placed upon me I had to put my people above my own needs. "his eyes grew sad as he spoke. "You didn't even be with someone for a..? "She stopped. "No I did not not even for a little while. Why? Does that please you that I am as innoscent as you are?" He cupped her chin bringing her eye's to meet his. "I'm glad, when it does happen it will be the first time for both of us, that just makes it the more special knowing neither one of us has ever touched anyone else before. She reached up and tenderly kissed Thorin on the lips his arm's going around her again . "You have been worth waiting for now let us get some sleep dawn will be here soon.
The man called Beorn roamed the terrain surrounding his house he could see the lights from inside his house. He had ran the orc pack off some time ago and was now curious to who had invaded his home. The beast quickly turned from his bear form to the man and quietly crept into the barn. Bilbo upon hearing a noise woke suddenly .He gasped as he saw the biggest man he had ever seen. The man was at least seven feet tall with long raggedy hair and a beard sticking out on both sides of his mouth. The Hobbit pretended to be asleep as the man wandered around observing the strangers in his home. Spotting Gandalf he figured they were with him and deemed them safe . Beorn went to his room hearing soft sounds in the rooms as he passed on the way to his bed. He pondered about the dwarves and the small person sleeping on the hay and figured the wizard would explain everything come dawn.
