Running his fingers over the details of the tree and the artistic flourish of his name upon the silky smooth skin of his one, thoroughly enjoying the feel of his muscles contracting beneath fingertips, hearing the most delicious sounds coming from his mate, bilbo moaned at the contact his eyes dilated, his breath hitched as Thorin ran his fingers down his spine and over his hips, when Thorin's fingers grazed the top of his buttocks bilbo gasped.

Leaning back into Thorin's chest as his left hand traveled up his abdomen to his dusky nipple while his right hand moved to cup and tilt bilbo's face so he could look into his eyes whilst he claimed those cherry red delectable lips in their first of many sweet kisses, soon the kiss became loaded with the passion they both had become drugged with.

With a burning desire bred from half a decade of watching his mate become his perfect match he claimed those lips, turning his one to face him, trailing his hands down his back to his bottom, cupping both cheeks in his hands he lifted his mate, bilbo to keep his balance had to wrap his legs around Thorin's waist, which drove his dwarf into a frenzy of erotic kisses.

A need for a more comfortable setting drove them apart long enough for bilbo to use the door adjoining his study to his bedroom, dragging his dwarf with him, by then Thorin had managed to control his urges much to the disappointment of his hobbit, "bilbo we need to slow down, i may know all about your life but you don't know mine, we need to get to know each other first I will not claim you until you are ready, until we are ready" grumbling all the way to the bathroom to relieve the tension that had built between his thighs.

Thorin knew he would not be able to restrain himself if he remained whilst bilbo took care of himself so he took himself back to the study where balin and Gandalf were now waiting for him, 'so, there should be some dinner ready for you just through here' balin said whilst leading him back to the dining room.

Sitting down, the company all smirking at their leader, who studiously ignored them and ate his big bowl of stew, when he was almost finished Dwalin asked 'what news from the iron hills, is Dain with us?' Thorin was about to answer when bilbo came back in with a flushed face, thoroughly distracting Thorin, the kings face pinked and he smirked his eyes alight with mischief.

Bilbo took his place between his brothers to listen in after handing extra candles to Gandalf as he asked for a little more light, Dwalin seeing his kings concentration had walked cleared his throat loudly and stated 'what of Dain?' Thorin jolted to awareness, "ah, right, Dain, he will not come, they this quest is ours and ours alone" Thorin stated with a dejected tone.

"Quest, your going on a quest?" Bilbo asked curiously, 'that's right Bili we're going to take back our home from a dragon' "DRAGON, are you mad" bilbo practically screamed, "what your just going to waltz in there and take back your home from a bloody DRAGON, have you lost your mind" bilbo said close to hyperventilating, 'no, no, no, of course we're not going in there' said kili reassuringly "you are" said Bofur matter of factly, which made bilbo's eye bug out (like he'd just been told he had to sleep with the company nude) the shock and fear written across his face was plain to see.

'Me, are you mad, what can I do, I'm just a hobbit' tears were building behind his eyes, thinking to himself *i will not cry, I will not cry*, 'oh don't worry you'll be fine, unless of course he's awake, then you'll have to dodge teeth the size of you like razors and claws the size of us like meet hooks, but your small and light on your feet you'll be fine' said Bofur as if he were talking about the weather.

With each of Bofur's words bilbo's reactions brought him closer to hysteria, first his eyes grew wide his breath came in short little gasps he started to sweat his body shook, he started to whimper with fear, Thorin noticed the whimpers and went to his one, he tried to hold him to calm him, but bilbo stood the fear was gone now he was pissed.

'What right do you have, to come in here claim me as your mate then tell me your going to give me to a MAHAL FORSAKEN DRAGON FOR BLOODY SPORT, GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, NOW' bilbo yelled shocking them all, that a soft spoken hobbit could yell let alone use a dwarven curse.

"Bili we aren't going to let you go in, I swear, we will find another way" stated fili, 'like fee said, there is no way both our broth and our uncles one would ever be sacrificed to that beast, not ever I swear it my brother' swore kili talking over his uncle who was trying to reassure his one that he would sooner die than give him to the drake.

'Bilbo I swear to you it was never my intention to have mate as the one to face smaug, but you are the one that Gandalf chose, I would prefer to leave you here in the safety of the shire, but knowing you, you won't let me' Thorin said trying to convey his love and sorrow, "your damn right I won't let you leave me behind, not if your facing a drake, or orcs or goblins or wolves and wargs, im not going to stand idle while my mate faces death" bilbo said heatedly.

'I know your brave, I saw you face Azog in your past, until that day I thought him dead, now I know, and he knows you we will both face death should he hunt us, but a dragon lies ahead of us, there is no other way my bilbo, will you help us, no, will you help me?' He begged hoping to talk his one into not coming, it didn't quite work in his favour.

Thorin was ready to sigh in relief when he was forced to regret his words, "yes Thorin, I will try to help you" bilbo slowly said 'however Thorin I will need two days to be prep aired for this trip, I need to see my cousin drogo and the Thain so they know where I've gone and so hobbiton is taken care of, I am a land owner and head of my family I must put all my affairs in order first' bilbo stated matter of factly.
