It was late and the festivities following the ceremony were still going on. About three hours into it, THorin began to notice that SEpha couldn't dance anymore. Thorin had managed to get three dances in with her before she was swept off by every other dwarf present who insisted on dancing with the new queen under the mountain.

Balin had finally told the last dwarf to let SEpha rest and then had given THorin the 'off with you' look, meaning he thought it best that the newlyweds depart, leaving everyone else to party long into the night.

Thorin led Sepha away from the hall and to his private chambers. He had his fingers laced with hers and every few seconds he would look at her, love pouring from his eyes. Finally when they reached the door, Thorin startled the girl by stooping down and picking her up bridal style.

Sepha let out a gentle chuckle and wrapped her arms around his neck as he pushed the door open with his foot, then closed it with his heel. Thorin never took his eyes off of her as he set her down. He ran his hands along her arms, then to her waist where he gently traced his fingers along her back.

"I love you," he whispered before stooping down to capture her lips.

Sepha smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, running her fingers though his long tresses.

"I love you too," she whispered before gently pressing her lips to Thorin's.

Thorin carefully lifted her into his arms, never breaking the kiss as he carried her over to the bed before lying her on her back. Sepha's brown hair flailed about on the bed around her head as she lay there. Thorin felt his breath catch in his throat at the petite, slightly flushed girl lying on the bed before him. He quickly bit his lip to hold down the desire to attack her and was glad that his tunic covered his reaction.

Sepha slowly rose to a sitting position and took Thorin's hands into hers, looking up into his eyes, "Thorin.... why are you afraid?"

Thorin looked down at her in surprise, his face flushing from embarrassment, "How did you know..."

The girl smiled softly and she slowly rose onto her knees so that she was a little more level with his head so she could look him directly in the eye, "You gnaw on the inside of your jaw when you're fighting with yourself."

"But how did you know what I was afraid of?" he whispered.

The smile disappeared from Sepha's face and THorin realized that she was slightly afraid... but accepting all the same, "I can barely see the blue in your eyes right now..." she whispered.

THorin had already known that his eyes had darkened the moment they entered the room but now with her confirming it, he felt a conflict within him. A part of him told him that she was accepting his desires and he should take the opportunity but another part of him told him that by falling to his wishes would hurt Sepha further.

The girl seemed to sense what he was thinking for she reached up and untied the cord that held his tunic closed. Thorin watched with bated breath and darkening eyes as his wife slowly undid the laces, pulling them back one by one till she could push the tunic aside. Now he was only in a shirt and his pants and boots.

Thorin turned his eyes away, knowing that his pants had gotten tight and Sepha could see his reaction. He heard Sepha moving around but didn't know what she was doing until her soft hand touched his cheek and turned his face to look back at her.

She had removed her gown so that she was only in a thin lacy slip that came just above her knees with strap sleeves and was practically see-through. She wore white lacy undergarments underneath which was basically all the kept her from being 100% exposed to Thorin.

Thorin's breathing had become thick and heavy and he was clenching his teeth together to control himself.

"Are you afraid of me?" the girl whispered, looking up into his eyes with puzzlement.

THorin swallowed at how soft her voice was and how warm her breath was against his face, "No.... but you should be afraid of me."

A smile flashed onto Sepha's face and leaning up on her knees, she set a gentle, feather light kiss to his lips before burying her face beneath his chin and placing her warm hands on his chest.

"I'll never be afraid of you. I'm just afraid that you will not want me..."

The girl never finished for THorin had grabbed her upper arms but gently and had pushed her onto the back, hovering over her. His eyes had darkened even more and his breathing was coming in pants.

"There is no way I wouldn't want you," he whispered in a husky voice.

HIs warm hand reached down and pressed against her leg before sliding his hand up underneath her slip and touching her thigh. Sepha gasped softly and THorin paused before looking into her eyes.

"Are you sure?" he whispered.

Sepha nodded before laying back on the bed, giving herself up to Thorin.

The dwarf didn't waste any time in pulling the strap sleeves off her pale shoulders and pushing the slip down to her feet where he gently but then again, not so gently pulled it completely off her. He reached to his pants and untucked his shirt before wrenching it over his head and tossing his boots across the room.

He hovered over her, in nothing but his pants and Sepha's face had become flushed, her eyes half lidded and slightly dark. As Thorin returned to hover over her, she slowly leant up to wrap her arms around his neck.

She felt his hard chest press into her chest that was basically bare itself and she bit her lip. THorin noticed this and locked his lips on hers, cradling her waist in one hand while the other kept him from crushing the girl.

THorin pressed his tongue against her bottom lip and Sepha opened her mouth, admitting him. THorin's tongue explored her mouth, his free hand running up and down her waist, across her back and down to her thigh.

When Thorin pressed her into the bed harder to give her a stronger kiss, Sepha let out a soft moan and that was when Thorin snapped. Grabbing her by the waist, he lifted her up and placed her on the bed correctly so her head was on the pillows before he climbed back on. He knelt over her legs before unbuckling his belt and throwing it to the side. He however over Sepha and kissed her, not wanting her to see him remove his pants.

When Sepha felt him kick his pants off, she wrapped her arms around his back and pulled him down so he was almost lying on top of her. She felt his manhood grind against her thigh and she bit her lip, her face becoming flushed even more. She slowly reached behind her back and unclipped her bra before pushing it aside while Thorin pulled of her panties. Thorin climbed back over her and stared down at her before pressing a soft kiss to her chest and breathing against her.

"You're beautiful," he breathed.

He looked down at her before slipping a hand behind her back. He felt all the scars, old and new and smiled before kissing her lips gently.

"Are you alright?" THorin whispered.

He didn't waste a second after seeing her nod before he reached down and touched her womanhood with his finger. Sepha gasped and buried her face in his neck, his warm fingers causing her back to arch.

"T....thorin," she whispered.

THorin smiled, kissing her neck, her jaw and then her forehead. "Tell me if I hurt you." he whispered.

Sepha nodded against his neck before feeling him enter her entirely. She let out a loud gasp, mixed with a slight cry of surprise and slight pain. She gripped the hair at the nape of his neck while keeping her face hidden in his neck.

Thorin remained still, not moving until the girl relaxed and let out a breath. Slowly he began to move and soon Sepha's gasps of pain changed to ones of pleasure.

"Th...THorin," she breathed, pressing her head against the pillows and biting her lip, "I'm...."

THorin nodded, "It's okay."

He drove into her hard before finishing and they both sunk into the bed, breathing heavily and sweating. Thorin slowly drew out of her gently before laying down next to her and pulling the sheets up over them. Sepha rolled over and placed her back against Thorin's back while he hugged her close around her waist.

Sepha closed her eyes and began to fall asleep.... until she felt Thorin's hot lips touch her back where she knew a scar was. She felt his lips drag across her back, kissing each and every scar until he returned back to her neck and kissed just beneath her pointy ear.

"I love you," he whispered.
