It isn't uncomfortable but it is considerably unfamiliar, to be kissing her this way when until now, the brush of their lips have been more chaste than anything else. She isn't the first he's kissed, but she is the first he's ever loved and that makes this all the more important. All the more special. He'd wished for it in Arda, to know more than just the touch of their hands, but fate hadn't been kind to them there. Kili would not have thought that it would be kinder here, that Mahal would see it fit to bring them together in this world rather than their own.
But in Darrow, there seems to be little judgment for whom one chooses to lie with. He's seen men with men, women with women, and it doesn't bother him in the slightest but Kili does know that back home, his kin would have greatly frowned upon his relationship with Tauriel. Thorin and Thranduil would have had that in common, at least, though his uncle would not take it kindly to hear him say such a thing aloud.
He nearly protests when Tauriel pulls him into her lap, though the thrill that shoots up his spine at the feel of her lips against his neck silence anything he might have been close to saying. Though there have been others, those experiences had been born of curiosity more than anything else. This is different, this is real, a step in what he hopes will be a long future with the one he loves so much.
"Very strong feelings, you say?" Kili asks with a breathless laugh, letting his hands travel down her sides until they come to a rest on her hips. He leans forward to gently nip at the space just beneath her earlobe and smiles. "I should like to hear more of these. Or perhaps you should just carry on showing me."
