Have fun! And it'll be romantic again later :)

Kate looked at them. Shocked and embarrassed.
„Th-that is not what it looks like!", she tried to explain.
„To me it looked quite obvious", Dwalin chuckled.
She looked down at Thorin and could see he was trying hard to find the right words.
„I guess it's the best you go to sleep again...all of you", he finally grumbled.
„And miss that...show?", Kili laughed and now the whole company broke out in laughter.
Attracted by that noise, Lindsey and Fili walked back into the camp.
„What's the matter?", Lindsey asked looking between her sister, Thorin and the Company.
„Oh, you missed how your sister and Thorin were...in a deep conversation", Kili chuckled.
„You're all so childish", Thorin and Kate grumbled simultanously.
They all bit back their comments and laughs.
„A deep conversation like that night in Rivendell? That little competition?", Fili chuckled causing both Thorin and Kate to look up in surprise.
„You've seen..?", Kate asked in disbelief. The two of them nodded.
„Seen what?", Bilbo spoke up.
„Actually Fili and I just wanted to watch the training of you. I was curious how good you were and then we saw him disarming you all the time. Then...that little competition came up. What had been your words again...?", Lindsey explained looking at Thorin. He tried to avoid her eyecontact.
„I remember. You said: If I disarm you once more, I will ignore you the rest of this journey. But if you disarm me...", Fili said smiling.
Lindsey added:"You whispered the last part so we were hyper curious what it would be. The more surprised were we as she disarmed you and you had to pay up. With a deep kiss..."
Now the Company looked confused.
„Wait a minute...there's more between you since...since Rivendell? But that's weeks ago! How come no one saw anything?"
„Because we didn't want you to know...for even we don't know what it is", Thorin now spoke up causing Kate to nod in agreement.
„To me it looked like two hungry wildcats", Bofur chuckled but Balin slapped his arm shutting him up.
The elder dwarf gave Kate a warm smile before he spoke:"I guess it would be wiser if we all go take some rest now. Tomorrow is a new day..." He winked at his king and Kate and they nodded relieved.
The group started to murmur.
„All right...but, please be quiet, we need our sleep", Dwalin said with a smirk and the Company turned to lay down again, still chuckling.
Thorin knew that this was not the end of it. They would tease them so much the next days. He sighed but took Kates hand and pulled her down next to him.
Both aware of some eyes in the darkness watching them. Especially his nephews and Lindsey.
„I'm sorry...", Kate whispered.
„For what? I pulled you up on me...", he said and a slight smile curled his lips again. „And I would do it again...", he added but in the end he didn't do it. She just leaned against his shoulder, his arm placed around her waist to hold her close until both drifted off to sleep.
/
„Psst...don't wake them up", Lindsey whispered.
„You got it, Ori?", Kili whispered while the young dwarf sat on a boulder, drawing something. The group sat around the fire in the morning, having breakfast while the younger ones made fun of the still sleeping couple. Kili and Fili sat on the boulder above Kate and Thorin with amazed faces pointing at them while Lindsey stood next to Ori watching him drawing that scene.
Kates head was still resting on Thorins shoulder with his head leaning against hers while one of her legs was wrapping his legs and one arm around his ribcage. His arm still holding her tight around her waist both fast asleep.
„So, what do you think he meant to say with they don't know what this is...I mean..isn't it obvious that they're in love?", Bofur asked looking at Balin while eating some bacon.
„Hard to believe when you think about how they acted in the beginning. I really thought they would kill each other instead of...this", Dwalin said still surprised.
„Our father used to say that Opposites attract. Those two are so much alike, yes it's really hard to believe though I wouldn't mind if they would be in love. She's beautiful, seemingly willing to become a fighter, a big heart with much love for her sister. They really fit perfectly", Dori said.
„What do you think, Gandalf?"
The wizard and Bilbo had been the only ones around not taking part in these discussions.
„Oh, I think these two souls have the right to decide what they do. What they feel. I am certain for the fact they're so much alike it's hard for both of them to confess their true feelings. Give them time and it will happen. Like everything else happens by time"
With that Gandalf leaned against a tree again, smoking his pipe.
„They move! Go go go!", Kili whispered and Fili and he jumped down the rock and ran up to the rest of the Company with Ori and Lindsey behind. They slumped down right in the moment Kate opened her eyes slowly.
Her eyes drifted to the Company but they all pretended to be in conversation, not paying attention to them.
She sat up and turned to look at Thorin. He shifted slightly and opened his eyes as well. Also his eyes drifted to the group and as he checked no one was looking he leaned in to gently brush her lips with his.
„Ready for the inquisition?", she chuckled and he smiled at her.
They both got up and walked back to the rest of the group, all eyes on them but no one spoke.
It took a while until Balin finally said:"How do you feel,lad?"
His eyes rested on Thorins bandaged wounds before he looked at his face.
„It's getting better...I'd say maybe two or three more days until we can finally go on"
The group was satisfied with that.
„With some special caring from a beautiful woman you'll be recovered soon.", Dwalin chuckled and Kate and Thorin exchanged an annoyed glance.
„Just a joke", Bofur added with a broad smile on his face.
„Kate, would you like to come to the lake with me?", Lindsey said after finishing her breakfast.
„Sure...", Kate got up and walked with her sister down to the lake.

„Now tell us, what happened between you?", Bofur asked as soon as the girls had been gone. Thorin sighed.
„Listen, there is nothing to talk about...yet"
„Yet...aha, so...only kisses and cuddles? Nothing else?", Kili grinned earning a death glance from his uncle.
„That is none of your business at all...", Thorin grumbled.
„No answer is an answer", Dwalin said smirking. He knew he could say something like this for he was Thorins closest friend.
Thorin and he exchanged a short glance and Dwalin knew that he was right with his assumption but he also understood the hidden message. He kept silent about that and just gave a short nod.
„I just don't get it why you are hiding it...", Fili said watching his uncle carefully.
„Sometimes lo...emotions are not always clearly. We just want to take time. Not everyone is falling that head over heels like you and Lindsey", Thorin said with slight triumph in his voice for giving his nephew that little tease now. Fili was a bit offended.
„You think our feelings are not true just because it didn't take us that long to realise them?"
„I didn't say that..."
„But you meant it..."
„No, Fili...I'm glad you found someone you care for. Maybe even love...did you tell her yet?"
The young one slowly shook his head.
„See? Showing someone what you feel and saying it to make it official is a big difference. You all should think about this before you go on teasing Kate and me."
With that the group fell silent.

„Cannonball!"
Lindsey ran along the boulder and jumped into the lake. Kate laughed and dived down and came up again, rubbing her eyes.
The sisters just swam along in silence. As they left the water they wrapped a cloth around their bodies and sat down under a little alcove.
„I'm sorry for teasing you lately...", Lindsey suddenly said and Kate watched her surprised.
„You don't have to be sorry for anything. I'm glad you didn't tell anyone about that night in Rivendell"
„When you told me about that first kiss I somehow knew that there'll be more...", the young one replied with a slight smile.
Kate chuckled.
Lindsey shoved her slightly and gave her a smirk. „Had there been more?"
„Maybe..."
„Please please please, tell me..."
She sighed but kept silent.
„Ooooh, silence is the best answer", Lindsey chuckled.
„What about you and Fili? Had there been more yet?"
Lindsey blushed and her fingers played with the braiding.
„No...nothing more than kissing and cuddling. I'm just too nervous..."
„The first time is always like this..but I'm certain he'll be a gentle lover..."
„You mean it runs in the family?", Lindsey tried one more time and caused Kate to laugh now.
„I didn't say that", she said and just smiled.
They sat like this for a while until Lindsey got up and dressed again.
„Wanna go back, yet?", Kate asked and the young one nodded.
„Kili wants to show me some moves with bow and arrow. I guess that's more the kind of weaon for me", she replied.
Kate nodded. „I'm going to stay a little longer"
Lindsey smiled and turned around to walk back into the camp.
„Where's your sister?", Balin asked causing Thorin to look up alarmed.
„Down at the lake. She wants to stay a little longer", she replied and her eyes drifted to Thorin. Not only hers, of course, but he ignored those looks and got up to walk down to the lake.
„Special caring,eh?", Kili chuckled.

Kate was laying on the grass under the alcove with her eyes closed.
She did not open them as she felt a body laying down next to her, bending over her and kissed her.
As he broke the kiss she opened her eyes and looked up at him, both smiling.
„Managed to sneak off?", she chuckled and he rolled on his side so did she still looking at each other.
„I gave them a little speech...I hope the teasing will stop now"
He slowly stroked her face and down her neck with one hand. His fingers were making a trail soon to be followed by his mouth.
His fingers continued their way down her body and she started stroking his face, looking into his blue eyes deeply before kissing him with much passion.
His touch was very tender, teasing her through the thin fabric of her cloth. A soft moan left her throat.
Slowly he opened the cloth just to bend down and kiss and lick and gently massaging her breathing increased as he moved his body to kiss and lick his way down hers.
He kissed her belly button and another soft moan left her mouth while her fingers buried into his thick, dark hair.
She was never into men with beards and long hair but Thorin was different. She could not stop stroking that long mane and that wonderful beard that slightly tickled and scratched her soft skin. She was certain he could make her come with just using his mouth and beard. He kissed his way up again until they were face to face again. He wrapped his arm over her waist as he shifted his body closer to her. They kissed once more.
With a soft push of hers he rolled over on his back. Placing both of her hands on his bare chest, she made herself comfortable on top of him. She just loved seeing him like this. It made her heartbeat faster and she could already feel that he enjoyed it as well.
He reached up and slid the cloth down. He could feel her shuddering slightly as he ran his fingers down her arms.
She leaned down to kiss him while his hands gently stroked up and down her back, slowly down her spine.
Then his hands found their way around and again touching her breasts. Once again she built a rhythm, rocking her hips ever so slightly on his, and she could feel his hardness growing more and more making him groan slightly.
She placed her hands on either side of his head and continued to kiss him, moving slightly so she could begin to kiss down his body. She started with his neck, moved slowly down, licking and kissing his chest. His hands still stroking her breasts she was unable to move more down so she kissed her way back up and started to move her hips in a rhythm with his again.
Once again she moved and started to kiss and lick her way down again, this time she was able to move even more down.
His breath was rugged as he was aware where she was heading to. Her hands ran down his sides, her hand suddenly reaching his crotch.
„Oooh Kate...", he moaned and she gently started to massage him through the fabric of his trousers, feeling his hot hardness slowly grinding against her hand.
A smirk appeared on her face as she teasingly placed a kiss on it making him rise his hips slightly.
With very slow moves she managed to pull down his trouser, now only his undies left. Once again she began teasing him by rubbing and kissing through the fabric making him groan over and over again.
Ever so slowly she finally pulled the last remaining fabric down. His breath catched for a second and it was by now that his hands were placed on either side of her face, gently pulling so she sat on top of him again. She could feel his hardness against her jacksie.
He pulled her close and kissed her, as his hips started to move slowly and she looked down at him.
„Do you want me?", she whispered seductively.
„Yes...", he replied, his voice nearly a whimper.
„How badly, Thorin?"
„Very badly...I need you now...", he begged with a passion strained voice. „Please, Kate"
„And what do you want? Thorin? What do you want from me?", she went on asking, more a whispering groan while her hips still moved against his hardness.
„I want to feel you...i want to take you as my woman...", he replied and started to press against her again. Slowly she let herself sink down on him, allowing him to enter her.
„Oooh, yes, Thorin...", she moaned and started to move in a delicate rhythm. Soon he started to move in her rhythm as well, making her feel him deep inside her.
Her hands were running up and down his chest, her head fell back and she moaned and sighed while he placed his hands on her hips moving her on top of him.
Suddenly he wrapped his arm around her and rolled over, pinning her down on the grass still inside her.
„Oh Kate...you're so wonderful", he breathed while worshipping her body, pounding into her and eliciting many cries and moans from her, muffling it with many deep kisses.
She begged for more, moving in rhythm with his deep thrusts, taking all he had to give.
When she could take no more, she exploded around him. He stopped, letting her catch breath again. As soon as the wave ebbed away he started moving again, his thrusts changing in intensity and rhytm. It was a changing of shallow, deep, shallow, deep to move on to teasing and hard. He sent her flying to another ecstasys peak. Once again she came hard, digging her nails into his back leaving red marks on it but he did not care. It was the sweet pain of lust and he enjoyed it so much.
He groaned, tossing his head back. He could feel his time was close. He gripped her hips and his thrusts became more powerful and deeper than ever. She whimpered his name over and over again, she wanted to scream but no tone was leaving her throat. Her brain was completely overwashed with ecstasy.
He took her to the edge of oblivion, and with one last hard thrust he released himself deep inside her. Kate joined in a third earth shattering ecstasy. This time harder than ever before in her entire life.
Completely spent,he collapsed upon her. Sweat dripped from his body onto hers as they both fought for breath.
His beard tickling her sweetly while his face was buried in the hollow between her neck and shoulder, his hot breath sending shivers down her spine while she was holding him close on top of her.
Time passed by, they could not say if seconds, minutes or hours. She lay next to him with her head on his chest, his arm around her holding her close. Her hand gently stroked over his chest.
A smile appeared on her face as he looked down at her with a smile as well. There was so much emotion in his eyes but yet she could not tell what exactly it was.
He bent down and kissed her softly.
„That was..."
„...incredible"
