Chapter 7: Feels like our first kiss.
Warning. Fair enough smut at the beginnings of this chapter! If you are uncomfortable with this then please skip. I'll add a note when it's over.
The boat ride from Mirkwood to Lake Town made me nauseous, I felt sick from the movement of the waves, sitting alone beneath the deck, curled in a little ball. Heavy steps came down the steps, a soft laugh filling my head with sparkles... I'm not on drugs, I swear.
"You look like you've seen better days." Fili noted, I smiled and nodded, the wooden planks beneath us creaking as he sat down, allowing me to lean my head on his shoulder. "Tell me what you think about at night, when you can't sleep."
"I think about the things I've seen on this journey so far. The Elves of Rivendell, Trolls of the Ettinsmoors, Goblins and Wargs and Orcs and Giant Eagles. I've seen Dwarves playing Grandmother's footsteps, I've seen the last Skin-changer of Middle Earth and I've seen the inside of Mirkwood and the Woodland King." I answered, he nodded. "I've also seen a Golden haired Dwarf that caught my eye when we first met. He has bright, mischievous blue eyes and a beautiful, kind smile and I think he loves me."
"I've heard of this Dwarf, he's a dashingly handsome scoundrel isn't he? Steals the hearts of young women and charms them into doing stupid things for him." He replied, I grinned and slapped his shoulder playfully. "I heard he loves one in particular, very much." He whispered, lowering his lips to mine. I felt his tongue brushing against my lower lip, I parted my lips very slightly and allowed him access, his tongue brushing mine. His hand gripped my waist, pulling me closer, his other tangling in my hair, keeping our faces close. I laughed as he pulled me onto his lap, my hands steadying myself against his shoulders.
"Careful, we don't want any bumped heads." I whispered, braking apart from him as his mouth travelled onto my neck, kissing and sucking alternatively. I whimpered as his left hand brushed my bare hip. I moved one hand down onto his chest, slowly unlacing his undercoat, pushing it from his broad shoulders, getting a better feel of his muscles hidden under the clothing. "Oh Mahal." I hissed, Fili's hot fingers slipping under my shirt. I felt something under me, the Dwarf's breathing heavy as I involuntarily moved my hips against him. Our mouths clashed again, muffling the moan he gave.
(Over, you're safe. Here's some hand sanitizer and cookies.)
"Fee? Uncle asked me to tell you that- Oh Durin's beard put some clothes on!" Kili screamed, falling down the last two steps as he hastened to cover his eyes. I all but fell away from Fili laughing so hard my entire body shook. With a sigh Fili got up and put his coat back on, kicking his younger brother in the ribs before going back up on deck. "It's not funny! You were just sat there going at it on the ground!"
"Oh you are so precious!" I laughed trying to stop myself from laughing so much. "We weren't going at anything you silly Dwarf." I wiped my eyes as Kili looked at me venomously, he then quirked an eyebrow.
"Got room for one more Dwarf?" He asked, I laughed again and shook my head.
"I think your brother would murder you if he caught you saying that."
"You've obviously come from the Woodland Realm, what business did Dwarves have with the Elves?" The greasy, mono brow cursed man asked, his hand clasped behind his back, thrusting his pot belly forwards. Thorin had a look of disgust on his face, the kind of look you'd have if someone held a plate of mouldy cheese under your nose for a long period of time.
"We are passing through, we are journeying to see our Kin in the Ironhills ." Thorin lied smoothly, the others nodding to support this lie. The greasy man nodded once and smiled, I rather wish he hadn't as his teeth were the worst thing I'd seen all the journey... Second only to perhaps the Great Goblin.
"Papers please?" That request stumped us as no one had thought we'd need papers to get through the gates of Esgaroth. I stepped forwards and slapped Thorin's shoulder, my shirt perhaps a little lower than it should've been, my leggings showing more leg than Fili was comfortable with.
"I'm sorry, what my colleague is trying to say is that we've heard a lot about Lake Town's Master, we were passing through anyway and thought we would come and see if the rumours of his splendour were true." I said clearly, the man's greedy eyes slipped to my cleavage before he nodded.
"In that case, come right through and I'll lead you all straight to the Master's house."
"Thank you Mr..."
"Alfrid." He replied, kissing the back of my hand and missing how I'd gagged like I was blowing a rhino. He waved a hand for the gates to be opened, allowing us to pass into the town.
"I'm Rae." I called over my shoulder, using my middle name to throw him off.
"Welcome to Lake Town, Lady Rae."
The company got several strange looks as we followed Alfrid through the town that stank of fish, stale sweat and tar. Fili grasped my hand and pulled me back to walk with him.
"Stop doing that." He hissed, I rolled my eyes and played dumb.
"Doing what?" I asked innocently, he huffed and grabbed my hips, holding me still as his eyes burned holes in my mismatched pair.
"Using yourself to get us out of situations." He answered angrily, I sighed and kissed him deeply. "This won't make it go away."
"Don't worry, I'll blow your mind later on, when we're alone." I whispered his ear, winking as I turned back around and ran to catch up, Fili hot on my heels.
"Don't start things you can't finish." He warned.
"Who said anything about not finishing?"
