The Skinchanger's Human Mate

Chapter Six

Should Thranduil marry Lily and Beorn, or should they have a like a skinchanger mate thingy? 

 Lily woke up in Beorn's arms, it was comfortable, and he was so warm, and it surprised her that he was actually cuddling her. Beorn was shirtless, and Lily was again in one of his shirts and it was getting a little cold at nights, it was coming upon winter, so the days were getting cold, but the sun kept away most of the chill. "Sleep." Beorn said low in her ear, and she blushed looking at him. "You are thinking too loudly." Lily blushed and snuggled closer to him. "I am sorry." She pressed a kiss the arm that was around her. Baby and Bambi were still in the corner, Beorn had made a small pen of sorts, and had food and water for them. Lily felt comfortable in his shirts, but wished she could have something that covered her legs. Beorn groaned before he moved to get out of bed, and she saw him stretch before he went to make coffee. Beorn drank black coffee, very strong coffee but he always made coffee with milk and honey for her, he would give it to her in the room and fill Baby and Bambi's water dish. "Today, I have to check the perimeter. I will be gone all day." Lily looked at him, she had not been alone in the house ever. "What do you need me to do?" He smiled weakly at him and pulled her into his arms. "Just keep the garden gates locked, the house door locked, and I want you to just make sure the animals have proper water." She leaned on him and smiled at him before she got a small kiss on the forehead. Beorn had to leave, and Lily kissed him because if the zombies and their rotting wolves got him, she would be left with no idea of how to survive here without him. "I will be back little mate." Beorn whispered against her lips, as he gently held her face. "Be safe, please?" Lily felt panicked at the thought of him being hurt. "I promise little mate. My Lily, I will be home safe at nightfall." He kissed her deeply one last time and she moaned when his tongue entered her mouth. He tasted like honey, coffee, and pumpkin banana oatmeal he ate every morning. "I will definitely be home soon for you." He groaned before he had to leave, he took off all his clothes, making Lily blush as she tried her best not to look below his chest. He ran and shifted mid run after he got out of the garden, she had to lock the gate after him falling against it. 

She began to clean the house after she let Baby and Bambi into the garden with the other animals. Lily picked up Beorn's dirty clothes and brought them to where Beorn told her he washed clothes. He had showed her how to do everything over the week she had been living there. She had fallen in love with it and mostly Beorn, he was so sweet to her and the animals, he even had all sorts of things set aside for winter. She washed his clothes, and the clothes she had been found in, making sure that everything was thoroughly cleaned and then hung them to dry. Bambi was close to her the whole time like she was his mother and she loved having him close to her as he was so cute. She stayed outside until she got too cold and then she went inside and cleaned everything she could, but she couldn't get the cobwebs because she was too short, and she didn't think that Beorn would appreciate her getting on a chair to get them. She decided to make something for when Beorn got home. She knew he didn't eat meat maybe it was a skinchanger thing. She was not the best cook, but he made bread the day before and she decided that sandwiches would be a good easy thing. "Maybe wants a hot meal? Oh, why did I not pay attention to home ech?" She groaned and then looked around, maybe she could make an easy soup that she remembered her Gran make. Lily could make it by memory, and she made it every time she felt sad. Beorn had all the things to make it and by the time she could hear the roar of his bear she had everything ready for him. "Welcome home." She smiled at him and then noticed the black blood on him. "Beorn?" He shrugged and tossed on the pants he had taken off that morning. "There were two orc scouts, I took care of it." He leaned down and she blushed remembering the kisses that morning. "What goes on in that pretty head of yours little mate?" She wondered if him calling her little mate was a skinchanger thing, because he called her that more than her name. "Just thinking about you." He kissed her forehead before he went to go wash the blood off himself. She went and took the clothes off the line and folded them while making sure that Baby and Bambi were close by so she could get them inside for the night. 

Lily and Beorn ate in silence, well mostly because he was holding her on his lap. Over her time with him he had been getting very touchy with her and to her it felt right. Lily felt something for him, and it was starting to scare her about how much the thought of him getting hurt pained her. "You are a good cook." Lily blushed as his arm tightened around her waist and his breath was on her neck. "This is basically the only thing I can make. I am not the best cook." Beorn smiled and again, leaning back. "I can cook for us mate." Lily moved and she was straddling him now, intent on asking him why he calls her mate or little mate all the time. "What are you doing to me little mate?" He groaned and she blushed, not knowing why but his voice was heavily affecting her. "Why do you call me that?" She couldn't look him in the eyes after she asked. "What? Little mate?" She nodded and was blushing very red, she probably looked like a tomato. "I call you that because you are my mate." Beorn made her look at him, his usually onyx eyes were now a honey golden color.  "What does that mean?" She had a small idea of what he meant but she wanted him to say it. "It means that you are the only one I can't hurt. You are the only one myself and my bear want." Beorn leaned forward and kissed her, making Lily feel amazing and cherished. "You were made to be mine and I never intend to let you go." Lily knew she should feel offended, but she felt cared for, and it felt right to her. When they went to bed Beorn made Lily lay in his arms, keeping her warm and protected.
