I'm In Love With Durin Blood. (A Thorin Oakenshield Romance.)

Chapter 19...

In the morning I am awoken by a very loud sound. I sit up quickly staring at Frerin Thorin's younger brother. He clears his throat.

"There is a bath ran for you and a clean change of clothes, when you finish you may join us in the dining hall for breakfast. My brother will accompany you home after that." He gives me a smirk...similar to Thorin's. Frerin is a little shorter than his brother with blonde hair and dark blue eyes. His hair is much longer and he wears a half braid. His beard is very clean along with his mustache. "If you go through that door over there it will lead you directly to the bathroom." He points to a door on my right and then leaves.

I slide out of Thorin's large bed and make my way to the bathroom. The bubble bath smells of lavender as well as his pillows. I quickly strip of my clothes then I take off the wrap around my waist helping to support my broken ribs. When I look down my side is black, blue, and purple. Slowly I step in the hot bath and soak for an extremely long time. Then I wash my hair and body. Once I do that I soak a little bit longer till there's a knock on the bathroom door.

"Edlyn? Are you alright?" I hear Thorin outside my door. That's when I quickly get out wrapping a towel around me and open the door.

"Fine...I apologize I've been too long."

"That's alright, I just thought you might of needed something." He says. I look at his crimson attire and then back up to his icy blue eyes. "Do you...need anything?"

"No, thank you. Well actually if you could get someone to help me with putting this wrap around my mid-section that'd be nice."

"I'll help you." He starts to push the door open but I hold it in place.

"I am disrobed!" I snap.

"Just face the wall...all I will see is your behind. You can put your undergarments on so I won't even see that."

"How can I trust that you won't do anything?" I squeeze the towel tighter.

"Cause I have never done anything in order to know what to do. Women aren't very fond of me a lot of them take a liking to my brother instead. I haven't ever done anything to a girl...not even kissed one." He pushes the door open as I let go.

"That's alright...I've never been with a guy before if it makes you feel any better." He smiles and then shuts the door.

"Turn," He demands so I do and then I drop my towel. I feel my wet hair hit my back. He grabs the wrap and starts to put it around me. "Hold up your hair." So I gather all my hair up and hold it at the back of my head.

"Not too tight..." I huff scrunching my face when he tightens it.

"My apologies." When he's done wrapping I let my hair fall down my back. "I'll be getting back to the dining hall." He says it rather quickly like he's nervous or flustered. When I hear the door shut I let out a breath that'd I'd been holding in. Then I quickly dry my body and hair. When I get done with that I put all my clothes on, then head for the dining hall.
