Kili and Tauriel jumped over the rocky edge to land on a narrow ledge between the rocks. Tauriel rushed along ahead, their hands still grasped together, wanting to get quickly back to the fort, away from the open, out of view from sharp elven or dwarf eyes. But her dwarf had other ideas.

Kili stopped and turned her around, grabbed her arm and pulled her to him. As she turned, his hand held her face, and his lips pressed hard into hers. It was obvious he was not willing to wait nary a second more for her kiss…This caught Tauriel off guard, and she nearly faltered on the shifting stones, but his strong arm wrapped around her. She soon closed her eyes as her hands found their way against his muscular chest, anxiously gripping his clothes, and she melted into his passionate kiss, his scent and taste and touch overwhelming her senses...

Kili's kiss was urgent and hard and deep and it stole her breath; she gasped as his mouth hungrily found its way past the line of her jaw, and then took possession of her neck, his hand floating down her skin, his fingers against her spine, his thumb tracing her chin before sensually sliding down her neck to its base. Her chest ached as a groan escaped his throat, and his warm breath spread warmth on her skin, his downy beard sending shivers over her body. Her eyes fluttered closed and she wrapped her arms around his solid shoulders as he pressed her body against him. Her body recognized his firm, compact build, and the immediacy and intensity of the wave of desire she felt shocked her.

"Kili…wait…" she managed to say, in discrete, gasping whispers, even though her body was screaming for quite the opposite. She felt Kili take a deep breath and press his head against her chest, his other arm moving down and around her, so that he now held her in a tight embrace. She cradled his head against her, her hands buried in his hair as she gently curled her fingers into his scalp.

"I can't help myself…" He whispered, his voice low, tinged with emotion. "I just missed you so…" She kissed his head, and smoothed his hair, gently urging his head to tilt up. Her heart warmed as she saw the face of her handsome dwarf, now so close…

"Oh, Kili. I missed you too…" she said, a smile on her face as she stroked his golden cheek. "But we should move along, to a safer place…one more private." Kili looked up at her dotingly, his eyes worshiping, adoring her…then his expression changed. Tauriel knit her brows…

Kili's fingers rose and he shakily, gingerly touched her cheek…the very place where the shard of her bow had scored her skin from Thranduil's attack, where a long, slender, healing scar now was.

"Oh, Tauriel." He sighed sadly, as he focused on her cheek, his expression one of dismay and worry. She placed her soft hand against his and held it against her cheek for a moment. Tauriel pursed her lips as she looked hard into his eyes.

"Come…" she said, without another word, and she pulled him along the ridge.

Kili could hardly believe they were together, yet again…but the cost...was it too much? His heart felt a stab when he saw the scar on her cheek, sadness and anger rose up within him. No one was to hurt his elf…but would she even let him protect her?

Kili scampered up over the irregular rocks, keeping up behind Tauriel, looking ahead in the dimly lit night beyond the shadowy outline of her slender, graceful form against the sky, where a break in the clouds revealed thousands of points of light. She stood up for a second and he gasped… his elf seemed to be where she belonged, a powerful beauty surrounded by the stars. He continued on, following behind at a close distance, his eyes wandering over her slim, muscular build as she effortlessly continued the climb.

"Where are we going?" He asked, just curious, the rational question finally coming to mind. It was a testament to his unconditional trust in her.

"Up there, on the hill, where the fire is alight." She said, looking towards a towering set of ruins ahead and above them. Kili blinked his eyes, and the memories of the stories his mother told him about her escape from Erebor welled up in his mind.

"This fort is a dwarf outpost…The Fort at Raven Hill, I believe it is called." He said, catching up to Tauriel as she looked back at him with curiosity.

"I see…that explains much." Tauriel said, nodding. "The ravens roost all over this hill, in the towers as well."

"These birds are close allies of the Dwarves of Erebor." Kili said, walking ahead of her. "They are informants and messengers of Kings." He said, looking back at her. "Raven Hill was a refuge, for my kin. They escaped the firestorm to here, after they were expelled from Erebor by the dragon." He said, a serious, solemn expression on his face. "They had to flee from here when it too was attacked." Tauriel's face also changed to a more serious tone.

"Now so it is again, a refuge, but for another kind of exile…" Tauriel said softly. They stood silent for a moment.

"Tauriel…I…I felt I had abandoned you at the riverside." Kili said, low and soft, as he looked back at her, hurt in his eyes. "What has happened since?" he asked, worry again taking possession of his dark, angular features. Tauriel looked down, pursing her lips. She had some explaining to do.

"Before we speak on such matters, I want to show you something." She said as she continued on ahead of him.

They climbed up one side of the stony monument, the crumbling path leading up to the most visible, most intact vertical structure; the watch tower. Kili scampered up and stood at the prominence over the chasm created by a fallen bridge, overlooking the frozen lake, gasping at the still, ethereal splendor of the crystalline waterfall, the dark and dreary rock intermingling with the ice and snow, glistening with a grey and blue hue. Tauriel waved him down and together, they gingerly crossed the frozen lake. Kili looked down through the clear ice, into the frigid water flowing underneath and a chill ran down his spine.

Finally, they arrived at the top of the partially destroyed watchtower. Kili gazed around, taking in the stark, yet magnificent view slowly…until his eyes came to rest on something even more exquisite. Tauriel, her face upturned to the night, the silken fire from her head waving with the gusts, her ivory skin a stark contrast to her wide, expressive eyes. Her lips were slightly open with a peaceful, gentle smile as she looked up into the heavens.

At that moment, he felt it; there was nothing he loved more than this beautiful elf…

"Isn't it gorgeous?" she asked, looking back at Kili, only then realizing his eyes were upon her. Kili's smoldering stare wandered down her body.

"Yes…yes it is." Kili said, a small smile on his lips. Tauriel looked away, feeling the heat rise to her cheeks.

"It is so very quiet up here…nothing but the birds and the windsong to break the silence." She sighed. "It is a good place to spend time, sorting out one's thoughts."

"That it is. But our voices break the silence this night." Kili replied. He crossed his arms and leaned back on the low wall. He wanted to air his grave concerns now, holding back his fitful urge to hold her again, before the thoughts of such discord would flee from his mind.

"What is it that unsettles you?" she asked, brows knit.

"What you did at the river…that was reckless." Kili said. Tauriel raised a brow with his choice of words…

"I did what I had to." She said. "to save you…" Kili pursed his lips.

"I am thankful for what you did, yet again, Tauriel…but I am upset with the great risk you took." Kili huffed.

"Thranduil gave the order to shoot you down. They would have hurt you…possibly killed you." She said, turning to him, in her defense. "That, I could not let him do."

"So…you decided to threaten him." Kili said, his brows knit. "A dozen archers were trained upon you."

"It seemed like the only thing I could do to stop him." Tauriel said. Kili approached her.

"You made him angry…he attacked you afterwards, didn't he?" Kili asked, darkness floating over his face as he looked at her cheek. Tauriel swallowed. Kili came in close and held her hand. "I saw it…" He was holding in his dismay and fury.

"Yes." She admitted. "He slashed my bow in half…that is what sliced my cheek." she started, and then looked down. Kili put a finger under her chin and raised it so she would look back into his eyes.

"Then what happened?" he asked, voice soft but his lips tight, his eyes hard…but Tauriel knew that his fury was not meant for her. Even though she did not want to tell him, she continued.

"He held his sword to my throat." She said, in a low, soft voice.

"What?" he said, his eyes widening, incredulous. By that moment, Kili hated Thranduil with a vengeance.

"Legolas stayed his hand by asking for mercy… "she said. Kili breathed hard and backed away. Begrudgingly, he thanked the gods the elf prince was there at the right time. "But…I do not believe Thranduil would have killed me, anyway." She said.

"You don't know that." Kili said, turning around, disgruntled. He walked over to a bench and sat down heavily, bent over, his forearms on his thighs. He pursed his lips and looked up at her. "How did you go from under his blade to here?" Tauriel breathed in, starting to walk around.

"Thranduil then banished me from his sight; and the elves all turned their backs to me and left." She said. She heard Kili gasp.

"Banished?" Kili whispered. Tauriel looked back at him, nodding with a firm resolve.

"I should expect no less for my actions." Tauriel remarked. "However justified they were." She continued before Kili could interject. "Bard then found me by the river, and encouraged me onward. He offered me shelter, with his own people in Dale."

"Bard…he is a good man." Kili said, his head spinning with her revelation. Kili remembered his private words with the bowman; Bard seemed respectable, and he always acted honorably.

"Yes, but…when I saw how the elves were stationed all over Dale, I felt I could not be comfortable in their presence. I spied this hill, with this fort, and was drawn to it." She said, patting the wall gently. "Bard was concerned for my safety, so I convinced him that I would keep a fire lit to signal all was well, on the southeastern face."

"So now, here you stay, all alone…" Kili said, his voice growing sadder.

"It seemed a good place to act as sentry for the whole valley… " She said, then she looked back at him. "And for the moment, I am not alone." She said. Kili stared at her, wide eyed, an ache spreading through his head.

"Legolas was right…so very right…" he murmured.

"Legolas was right about what?" Tauriel questioned, approaching Kili slowly.

"That I would cause you nothing but pain and anguish…" he said, through the tense expression now covering his face. "I am so sorry…" Kili said, his voice, low, laden with heaviness "… for all the trouble I have caused you."

"My actions were my choice, Kili." She said, insistently. Kili looked at her with pain in his eyes. Then he put his face in his hands, closed his eyes, and shook his head. Tauriel kneeled before the despondent dwarf.

"Kili… I could not just stand by and watch you get hurt." She said, placing, her hands on his hands. "Not in the forest, with the spiders, not on the river gate, not in Bard's house…not at the riverbed." She gently worked her fingers into his hands, pulling them gently away from his face. "My heart would not let me." His strong fingers grasped her hands as she spoke. "Not while I had the power to change it…don't you see?" Kili's sad eyes rose to hers… they held the expression of regret.

"But Tauriel…I do not want you to risk your immortal life for me… I am but mortal." He entreated. Tauriel shook her head.

"That does not mean your life is any less precious to me." Tauriel said, sweetly.

"My life means nothing to me…without you." Kili whispered, his eyes intense and sincere. "Yet I wonder if would be best if I threaten you no more with my presence, as your prince suggested." He said, bitterly, the words stinging him as he let them out. "Maybe that is what is best for you…regardless of my desires." He said, looking down, a dark sadness coming over him. Just the thought made him barely able to breathe.

Tauriel had to counter his argument, the best way she knew how.

"What of my desires?" she asked…Tauriel leaned in against him, insinuating herself between his knees and kissed him, her hands holding his face.

At first Kili tried to resist. He slowly returned her kiss and let her get closer, his hands finding their way around her shoulders. He shook with the war raging within him, between desire and regret, the belief that she was better off without him at odds with his feeling that he could not live without her. But then he reached out and pulled her against him tight, their tongues tasting each other; his resistance waning.

She slid her soft hands down his neck, scraping his skin ever so slighty. As she did, she felt him suck in a breath and a low moan escape his throat. His hands rubbed her firmly, his fingers spreading apart as they wandered over her back, her waist, her hips…she groaned with the pleasure of his touch. She continued to kiss him hungrily until she could feel no more resistance, and she had washed those poison words and thoughts from him… He broke the kiss to gasp for breath.

"What strength you have…you silence my worries and erase my fears with but a kiss." He said, stroking her cheek with the back of his hand, but he looked away. "But the puzzle still remains." She sat back on her heels and waited until his emotion filled eyes returned to hers.

"Kili…I also know how I feel. But, I am afraid…" she said, softly.

"What do you fear?" Kili said, brows knit, holding her hand tight.

"I am afraid that I will never feel this way ever again, the way I feel with you." She said, as he gasped. "That I will go through the ages henceforth, searching for something I once had, living only in the memory of our few precious moments together, yearning for that which I let slip from my grasp…" she confessed, her hand cupping his cheek. "I fear that I would mourn a love ended before it began, when we should have just let it go to fruition, then its own natural end." She looked at him sweetly, sadly. "A life with such regret is long tortured, and ill spent." Kili shook his head and pursed his lips.

"What have I done to you?" He said, lamentingly. He stroked her hair, and let his fingers flow through the silken strands. Had he already taken her heart, so that she would accept no other love? Had he already sentenced her to sadness at his end, when they had to part? "How could I be so selfish?" He whispered that thought out loud. A small smile covered her lips.

"You have only spoken words of love to me from your heart…" She said. "That is your crime." Kili blinked and gasped, kissing the hand cupping his cheek, trying to hold in his emotion.

"Of that I am guilty…" He said, his voice low and tremulous, his eyes pinned on hers.

"You say you love me…" She said, barely audibly, kissing his cheek, his nose, his chin. Kili's eyes fluttered closed, inhaling the sweet perfume of her presence.

"I do…" Kili whispered as he held her close. "More than you know..."

"Then show me…" she whispered. She could not help her small smile as she looked back at his face, into the warm, dark eyes of desire…

In a heady haze, Tauriel led Kili down to the place she had arranged for herself to rest, a comfortable and cozy room on the second level, where a fire was already burning in a low hearth, the little place warm, inviting. Tauriel looked on as Kili circled around the room, taking the place in, noting the simple surroundings; a chair, a table, a few of her belongings upon it, her supplies neatly placed on some nearby shelves.

Tauriel studied her dwarf. Kili wore a fine short coat of deep blue, trimmed and belted with rich brown leather, the working at the cuff and neck intricate with dwarven designs. Within this was an off white shirt, below that brown suede pants and leather short boots, the fine leather etched with similar figures. He wore the fine clothes in a loose and comfortable way, with the collar open enough to show just a touch of the soft brown hair on his chest. His outfit favorably complemented his broad shoulders and slim hips, yet revealed his muscular build. Part of the dark, silky long hair on his head was pulled back, without a braid, wayward wisps of dark waves surrounding his face. His eyes rested on the thick sleeping mat on the floor, which had a fur blanket spread above it.

Kili turned to her and his warm, smoldering eyes beneath those dark brows captured her vision, his skin on his cheeks glowing golden in the firelight, beneath his shadow. He touched her shoulder gently, sliding his hand up to the base of her neck, burying his fingers in her hair as he pulled her mouth to his, taking her in another breath-stealing kiss. Tauriel gasped, her heart twisting in her chest, the butterflies awakening within her belly. Her skin tingled with anticipation. She wrapped her arms around her lover…

{{{{

Kili could barely hold his urges at bay, but he resigned himself to approach Tauriel with languid, gentle touches, to worship her body inch by beautiful inch, even if it was torture for him…but it would be so, so sweet. As he stood before her, his eyes stayed with hers, and his breath quickened.

"Can I look at you, all of you?" He said, as his hands slid down the front of her tunic. Tauriel gasped, then nodded, a sweet smile on her face. Kili made quick work of the fastenings, but did not let her help him push it slowly off her shoulders. With his eyes glued on hers, he slowly traced her skin within the opening of her clothes with his fingers, and watched as her crystal green eyes as they fluttered, and her mouth as it fell open with desire. He eased her clothes from her body, revealing her silky skin, the light of the flickering fire making it glow warmly. A surge of emotion and desire grew within him.

When the fabric was pushed from Tauriel's skin, Kili's fingers, then mouth followed, down her neck, over her shoulders, as her eyes fluttered closed and her arms encircled him. His hands wandered over her rounded breasts, the tight skin like warm satin, the pink tips firm and responsive to his touch as his hands cupped them gently. He took them into his mouth, one, then the other, his tongue sliding over the sensitive nipples as she sighed, gently tugging at them with his lips, his mouth remembering the succulent taste of her skin, the flavor of his gorgeous elf…

"Kili…" she said, from lips parted with desire. "Please, I want to feel your skin against me, lover…"

"Anything for you …" Kili said, the thought of her skin against his almost more than he could take at the moment.

Tauriel lost the rest of her wrappings within seconds, and it took only a bit longer for them to free Kili from the bonds called clothing, as their hands struggled to stroke and touch each other.

Kili lowered his lover gently onto the soft bed awaiting them, his hand cradling Tauriel's head as he kissed her gently, and their bodies grew closer as he lay against her. They both gasped and sighed as skin hit skin, and they held each other tightly, closely for a moment before going any further.

They had both been through much turmoil since they had been apart, and they needed the comfort they drew from each other's touch almost as much the sweet release they found in each other's arms. Kili breathed out slowly, eyes closed, as he drank her touch in. Tauriel felt near tears with relief at having him so near.

But soon, the seduction that had earlier begun crept back into their touches, and the skin on skin sensation heightened their excitement. Sweet, tender kisses turned into ravenous ones, and their bodies moved against each other with more urgency. Kili's hands wound around her back, stroking the taught, strong muscles on either side of her spine, beneath the firey hair that hung from her head, holding her as he felt her gasp, and her body arch as her arms circled his shoulders, her fingers becoming entangled in his hair.

Tauriel started to breathe heavily and moan, a sound that thrilled him, and lit a fire within his belly. He couldn't help but moan with pleasure in response as his lips and tongue feasted on her sensitive, firm breasts again, before moving down her body. He kissed and gently nibbled at the edges of her ribs, and rubbed his lips over her belly, nuzzling, kissing, tasting her skin…he could not get enough of her.

Kili's hand slid down her back, around her firm buttocks, and down her long, strong thigh, as she bent her leg up to rub it against his body. He stroked her soft skin, silky and smooth, down to her delicate feet and kissed the inside of her thigh above her knee. Kili heard her gasp and felt her shudder, which made him want to do it more. He moved down further, gently urging her legs open to lay between them. He held her leg, and kissed along her inner thigh… Tauriel's responses were increasingly more vocal, her body's movements more sensual…

"Kili..." She moaned, breathing heavily. He looked up to her face…and was gripped with the vision before him. Her eyes were closed, her mouth open, her face a mask of blissful enjoyment. And just below were her firm, pointed breasts, rising and falling with quickened breaths. He slid down, between her legs, to where he knew the center of their pleasure was, the place on her body that gave them so much mutual joy. He rubbed her there, delicately, until he felt her body relax, slick and warm around his fingers, making his body pulse, making her writhe...

"I love it… your touch…" Tauriel groaned.

"I know… and I love to touch you…" he said, his voice low and grumbling with arousal.

He stroked the delicate petals surrounding the firm bud of her core in little circles with his slickened fingers and he felt her body respond, her moans of pleasure growing louder, more arousing. Her scent was strong here; the musky, flowery scent that was her perfume. She became fuller right before his eyes, blooming like a rose. He felt the urge to taste her…he pressed his mouth against her delicate flesh, and then took her into his mouth…and was rewarded with the sweetest nectar on his tongue and her cries of pleasure echoing in his ears.

Tauriel felt that her skin was on fire, set alight by her lovers lips and tongue against that part of her that was most sensitive, possessing her, their movement igniting her…lights flashed before her eyes, and the pressure that had been building deep in her lower belly erupted to pulsing waves of pleasure…her voice rang out.

Kili held her writhing body close, her increasing cries of ecstasy the sweetest, most arousing music to his soul, her open mouthed, closed eyed, almost pained expression of bliss the most gorgeous thing he thought he had ever seen in all his days. He struggled to maintain control over his own body but he groaned with pleasure as her hands clamped around his head, pushing his face hard against her. Every inch of her skin was smooth and sweet, and she responded to his tongue with a higher pitched cry of pure delight.

"Kili…please…love me…" she gasped, breathing hard and fast, her jeweled green eyes barely focusing on him through fluttering lids. Kili could resist her no more. He shifted his extremely stimulated body up between her legs and pushed himself into her, painfully, excruciatingly slowly, her slick, sweet flesh surrounding him. He felt so full that very part of her precious body he felt stretching around him, her muscles squeezing him, everything urging him to explode with each second…but he wanted this joy, this heaven to last until they both could take the high no more.

Tauriel could only hold on tight as she felt his hips start to move rhythmically against her…Tauriel could not believe it when she felt him, engorged and hot, deep within her, that part of him rubbing the spot within her body that made her shudder with deeper waves of pleasure, so that her body quaked with each exquisite spasm and she was unable to draw breath. She dug her fingers into his tense, muscular back, trying to bring him closer, ever closer into her, until she felt she would almost melt into him with the heat…She let out a loud, throaty moan…

That was all he could take…Kili screamed out as he experienced the height of his pleasure, as an intense release that spread from his groin throughout his whole body, followed by a warm fire over his skin. He breathed hard as he held on to his lover and pressed himself hard into her, again and again, this physical joining bringing him closer to heaven than he ever thought he could ever be…He kept his eyes closed so that vision would not distract him from this bliss, every second of this wonderful sensation of their passion, the sweet splendor of making love to the only person he ever truly loved. He was almost unable to hold himself together.

When Tauriel again regained control of her body after they made love, she breathed deeply, opened her eyes, and slid her hands up to stroke the face of the dwarf still pressed against her. His eyes were barely open and he was looking at her with that expression of pure love, pure worship that made her heart melt. She stroked his cheek and kissed him softy.

Kili opened his eyes, just to gaze upon the beauty that was before him, Tauriel, in all her delicious glory, his chest nearly exploding with the knowledge that, at this exquisite moment, this remarkable, magnificent being loved him too…he nearly felt the urge to weep with the intensity of emotion flowing through his mind…He loved her more than anything, more than life.

I am so lost in you…amralime. He thought to her, his voice echoing through her mind, into her soul.

"I would be lost without you…le melin." She replied.


Ok- need your input...was that too much? Or did it hit the mark?
