A Sacrifice To Save You

Teach us

It was still dark when Thorin stirred from his heavy slumber feeling delicious warmth on his side. Shifting carefully he wrapped his arms around the slender figure next to him pulling it firmly against his sturdy body humming lowly when he felt her skin brushing his.

The passionate act of love still lingered in his body making his muscles ache but Thorin didn't mind. It was their first time to fully step over the boundary of showing affection, before it was cuddles, kisses but not really making love. Purring against her ear Thorin nuzzled his nose in her cobalt blue hair savoring the scent taking a long inhale. It wouldn't be long when Balin would come to fetch him to sit in another damn meeting but right now, Thorin just wanted to enjoy the feeling of his fiery dragon queen sleeping peacefully by his side.

The fire was out in the fireplace and for a moment Thorin wondered if he should get up to start the fire but the air in the chamber was so cold he didn't really want to get out of the warm cocoon he was currently lying in.

Myra was slowly waking up and stretching her limbs she relaxed back to her cozy snoozing but her mind was already noting Thorin's presence behind her. Purring she leaned in his body twirling her hips tantalizingly earning a low growl from the dwarf.

"Careful love, you don't wanna wake the beast in me again," his voice was raspy, a deep rumble as it resonated through her causing shivers to travel up her spine.

"Oh but I love the beast in you," Myra smirked over her shoulder with silvery singsong voice earning goosebumps forming on Thorin's arms. Growling Thorin was about to show her just how much stamina he still had when there was a knock on the door.

Slumping his head in the crook of her neck with a defeated sigh as Myra giggled while shaking her head lightly.

"Put the beast back in the cage, love, no using it today," Myra sniggered making Thorin jerk his head back up to glare at her.

Another demanding knock echoed in the royal chambers and with a huff, Thorin rolled over snatching his robe from the armchair covering himself while Myra checked him out shamelessly licking her lips as her eyes roamed across his body.

"Naughty girl, wait until I have sent the intruder away, I'll make you pay for that look," with a voice like dark brown velvet Thorin glanced at Myra before walking out the bedchamber with a wink.

"Promises, promises," Myra answered with a honey-like voice sending a one-sided smirk in his way.

Thorin laughed joyfully at her and shaking his head Thorin gripped the doorknob opening the heavy oak door and became face to face with Balin.

"Balin," Thorin sighed nearly rolling his eyes but managed to stop himself while Balin smiled at him brightly.

"Morning, your majesty,"

"What is it this time?" Thorin frowned turning around letting the white-haired dwarf inside.

"Dain is here, apparently he has heard some rumors a great war is approaching us again, do you know what he means?" Balin spoke as he stepped inside and closed the door behind him.

Raising his brows Thorin looked at him confused.

"How did he heard about it so fast? I heard it myself only last night," Thorin blinked making Balin stare at his king as he didn't know what Dain had even meant by it. But apparently, Thorin did know if his answer told Balin anything.

"Ravens, my best guess,"

"Gossiping birds," Thorin muttered making his way back to the bedchamber where Myra was already dressed combing her hair when Thorin and Balin walked in.
