35: Shadow Kissed Promises

Dwalin and I finally reached everyone else, and the population seemed to double as I was lost. I almost got hit by three beams, two tapestries, and a plate. Dwalin kept chiding me for not being careful, and I swatted his arm at every attempt.

By the time the moon rose, my chest was red with everything I carried. I almost broke my necklace three times, and freaked out at each. I'd have to give it back to Kili. My face was the color of salsa by the time I sat back down to relax again. Kili handed me a cup, and I looked up at him.

"What is this?" I asked him.

He replied, "It's fine, just water."

I smiled in thanks and happily drank it.

"Your hair is sticking to our face. Here."

I stood up and began to run my hands through his hair. I redid the braid I made in his hair because it didn't even look like a braid anymore. His hands trailed over my body and I made a frustrated sigh.

"Kili," I breathed, "I'm trying to do this."

His voice sounded thick, "Where did you get that dress?"

"I found it in one of the rooms. It'd be best if I was out of it," I said without thinking.

I stopped and my face immediately flushed; Kili's did the same.

"What did you just say?" He asked me.

"Nothing! Forgetitisaidnosuchthingletmefinishthisorsohelpme."

I had successfully put Kili's hair up in a ponytail and he stared at me. We were alone.

Two blinks.

Our mouths clashed together with so much force we almost fell. He held my face as his other hand wrapped around my back. I turned my head and wrapped my arms around his neck. I bit his lip then licked over it.

"Mahal, I love you," he said against my lips and I smiled.

"Should we go into our room?" I whispered.

He groaned against my lips and I smiled. We kissed for a bit longer, then went into our room. My back hit the door and my tongue entered his mouth. He allowed me to take over and he groaned as his hands ran up and down my thighs. My eyebrows creased as I deepened the kiss. He pulled back and took off his shirt.

"Wait wait, wipe your face from sweat. I'm not tasting salt as I kiss the fuck out of it," I told him.

He laughed and did as I instructed. He hastily did the rest with his arms and we reconnected again.

"Are you okay with this?" He asked.

I nodded, "Yes. Are you?"

"Absolutely."

We grinned at each other. We kissed until we flopped on the bed and dust flew on our face. I coughed and Kili laughed as he had to fluff the sheets to get everything out.

"Sorry," I mumbled.

He furrowed his eyebrows at me, and kissed me. I kissed him back as my hands ran over his arms and back. My fingers traced all his back muscles and I felt him curve to my touch.

I turned my head to the side as he began to kiss my neck. He bit and sucked at it, I allowed to my mouth to make small sounds, until it was probably red and bruised.

"Fuck," I whispered in pleasure and I felt his hand grip my waist.

My dress was still on.
