There is a Dwarf in her bed - a gorgeous, sleeping, naked Dwarf. His black strands splayed on her pillow. His unexpectedly long, fluffy lashes. His prominent straight nose, and his luscious beard - and of course, his lips. His sensually curved, soft lips, that performed the most enticing acts all over her body last night. Thorin Oakenshield, King Under the Mountain, is in her bed, in a deep slumber. A deep postcoital slumber.
{Initially this story was written as a one-shot on my Tumblr page, a mushy and sexy 'drabble' as they were called then, in February 2014. It has become my first ever multi-chapter - and it has essentially launched my writing career.
Over 60 fanfics, several Kindle books, and, these days, several series of Wattpad books - it all came after. It's fascinating to look back at those early days. For years, I'd been writing my stories in the second person, following the format of a 'reader insert.' Many (if not most) of my protagonists are 'echoes' of King Thorin and his redheaded healer, Wren of Enedwaith.
I'm posting this fic here by a reader's request, and I'm going to edit it with my current knowledge of the proper format and style of writing - but I'm keeping some of the 'fanfiction' flavour, such as incomplete sentences and excessive use of descriptive adjectives. And the overuse of the verb 'chuckle.' Have you noticed how men always chuckle, smirk (exceptionally lopsidedly), and their eyes twinkle amused, in fanfiction? :)
I haven't reread this story in years, and I'm endlessly curious. I wonder if some elements of my present writing are already there, in the pillow talk of Wren of Enedwaith and Thorin Oakenshield.
Matilda Huston is a 25 years old woman with a painful past, living alone and escaping from her abusive past. She moved to Canada a few months back and got a job at a multinational company. She was living a peaceful life till she met her new boss Easton Fanaggaen who made her life ups and down through his bullying. Little did he knows, they shared a moment long ago when she was in her college years and he remembers that.
Easton Fanaggaen is a 27 years old hot billionaire and the CEO of Fanaggaen&Co whose business chains are spread throughout the world. He is handsome, hot sexy, tall, and rich, everything a girl wants. He does not believe in love and he just had those typical one-night stands. His belief is proved wrong when he saw Matilda for the first time and is smitten by her. He asks her to be his forge fiancée to run away from the marriage his parents have framed for him.

"I will," she said in a dark tone. "Okay let's talk tomorrow, my desperate arrogant boss must have sent me more work through email and I am in the middle of the street so I have to go," she said while rolling her eyes.
She was standing in front of the bridge. She hung up the phone and turned around. The horror was standing alive and well in front of her. Her breath stopped and her very own voice was surrounding her head.
"Desperate, arrogant"
She felt her head spinning around. He was staring at her expressionlessly. He walked slowly towards her while she walked backward.
"Desperate? Arrogant? Am I?" he said in a very deep voice. She felt her voice had gone to hell. She was trying to speak but no sound, just words.
"I think you have not seen how desperate I can be" he brought his lips near to her ear and said in a whisper.
He grabs her and put her on his shoulder. She felt his shoulder blades pinned hardly on her left rib.
Warning: The spelling and grammar are bad but I'll try to edit it once the book is completed.
