Chapter X: Epilogue

It was Bilbo's first day back on active duty. The twinge of pain in his left arm when he drew his gun was gone. It didn't hurt to run anymore. Thorin made sure of it, getting him up at five in the morning for runs. "I swear, Thorin's going to kill me," Bilbo said walking into work. Legolas looked up to see his partner sit down on his chair.

"What?"

"He's getting me up at five in the morning to go on runs and it's killing me," Bilbo said. "I'm lucky I got back on active duty. I'm so sore."

"He just wants you in tip top shape, that's all."

"For what? I'm already on active duty now," Bilbo said.

"Maybe he's making sure you're set for another kind of duty," Legolas said and Bilbo rolled his eyes. "Bilbo, I know for a fact you haven't been with anyone else since you two split up and now you are back together."

"Come on, Legolas," Bilbo said.

"Hey, you haven't gotten laid for over a year and I'm sure Thorin is just as horny as you are," Legolas said. Bilbo scoffed as Legolas gestured with his hands. "He wants you so bad, I can see it. Everyone can see it." Just then, Bilbo's phone went off with Thorin's ring tone. "Speak of the devil. Give him a kiss for me," his partner said causing Bilbo to throw a ball of paper at him. He took his phone call in a back room somewhere private.

"Hey there," Bilbo said.

"Hey, how are you?"

"Fine," Bilbo said. "Anything new?"

"Fili's desperate for a new project now that he's finished the vest."

"We could always new squad cars."

"I'll bring the idea to him," Thorin said.

"So, where should I meet you tonight?"

"That's why I'm calling. I'm afraid I'll have to cancel on you tonight. I have to work late. Smaug's company is being taken over by a cousin of his and he's attempting to clean it up like I did with my father's. He wants a meeting and I have to prepare for it tomorrow."

"Oh, okay."

"We can do lunch," Thorin said. Bilbo looked over to see Legolas was trying to catch his attention.

"Looks like we caught a case. No can do on lunch," Bilbo said.

"I'll see you at the flat then," Thorin said.

"No, I'll just go to the cottage. Working late with you means you'll get home after midnight. I'll be fine."

"Okay, I love you."

"Love you too." Bilbo hung up and headed out to work.

When Bilbo pulled his car into his driveway and saw his light on, which was weird because he knew he had turned it off. He groaned getting out if his car and headed towards his house. He must be imagining things too. He could have sworn he was hearing music. He entered his cottage to find a dinner set up in his small dining room table and Thorin in his kitchen. "Hey," he said causing Thorin to turn around. "What happened to working late?"

"I lied. Are you hungry?" he asked.

"Yeah, I am. We caught a double homicide today," Bilbo said. "I could use a drink actually." Thorin chuckled as he went over to his liquor cabinet and poured himself a scotch.

"A rough one?" he asked.

"A mother and her child," Bilbo said before sipping his scotch.

"Sit down and take a load off your feet, love," Thorin said before getting the food to the table. Bilbo sat down at the table with a sigh and took another sip of his scotch.

"This looks delicious," he said. "You cooked this?"

"Yes, I did."

"All by yourself?"

"Um, I may have had some help," Thorin confessed sitting down.

"I hope so because you're not known for your culinary skills," Bilbo said as Thorin dished out the food onto his plate.

"It's one of Dis' recipes and I wanted to make sure I got it right." Bilbo chuckled as he started eating.

After dinner, Bilbo found himself underneath Thorin on his couch. "So, what is the occasion?"

"It's our second five month anniversary," Thorin said.

"Already?"

"Yep. I want to mark the occasion."

"You just want to make up for the year apart." Thorin chuckled as Bilbo ran his fingers along his pants' waist band. "It's a momentous occasion though for us."

"Why?"

"It'll be the first time we make love after regaining our Middle Earth memories." They kissed softly before Thorin got up off the couch. "What?"

"We're making love on a bed then, not the sofa," Thorin said. They made it upstairs in record time where Bilbo saw that Thorin planned ahead. The fireplace was lit the bed was already turned down.

"You were hoping we were going to have sex tonight, weren't you?"

"It crossed my mind," Thorin said trapping Bilbo against the post. Bilbo didn't protest as Thorin kissed his neck. "Besides, it's been nearly 18 months since I had you last and God knows how many since Middle Earth Thorin gets to claim his Hobbit." Bilbo chuckled as Thorin began to undress him. He began to undress Thorin as well and soon, both were naked on top of the bed. "I love you Bilbo Baggins," Thorin said.

"I love you, too, Thorin Oakenshield," Bilbo said. Thorin reached over into the side drawer and found the lube. He squeezed some onto his fingers and slowly eased them into Bilbo. His Hobbit grasped his shoulders at the intrusion. "Ah, Thorin," he gasped.

"Shh, it's been a while, love," Thorin said into his ear. He pumped his fingers in and out of Bilbo, trying to stretch him without hurting him. When he thought Bilbo could handle it, he carefully eased a third finger into him. He moved his fingers further into him and Bilbo yelped out, his hips jerking up. He had just found Bilbo's sweet spot with his fingers.

"Thorin, please," Bilbo pleaded. Thorin removed his fingers and reached over to grab a condom. He wanted his Hobbit to be safe. He rolled it on before capturing Bilbo's lips in a deep passionate kiss before easing into him. Bilbo let out a gorgeous sounding moan as Thorin seated himself into him. He began to thrust into him and Bilbo moaned even more sinfully.

"Oh, baby," Thorin said before changing the angle of his thrusts. The former Hobbit moaned as he wrapped his legs around Thorin's waist and the former Dwarf nearly came feeling his lover's legs around his waist. "I love you," he breathed out into Bilbo's ear and Bilbo moaned out in pleasure when Thorin's hand grasped his cock. Bilbo's arms came around his back and Bilbo's hands grasped his shoulders. He squeezed his legs around Thorin's waist and got a strangled moan from him. The bed creaked as they moved together in a rhythm that was fast and filled with pleasure.

"Thorin," Bilbo moaned.

"Are you close, love?" Thorin asked. He pulled the organ in his hand and he felt Bilbo tense up underneath him. Bilbo let out a sharp cry of ecstasy and Thorin felt his warmth shoot out onto his hand and between their stomachs. "Guess that answers that questions," he said before he thrust a few more times before he came as well. They both laid there, out of breath, as they came off their high.

"Oh, that was great," Bilbo said.

"Yeah. Wish we had done that back in Middle Earth," Thorin said. He kissed Bilbo before pulling out of him. "You know, my sister and nephews are going to be over the moon about this." Bilbo chuckled as Thorin kissed his neck.

"Yeah, they will be," Bilbo said.

"I love you," Thorin said.

"I love you, too," he said and they kissed again, but not for the last time. Thorin would make sure he would never let his Hobbit go again.

The End
