As soon as we arrived home, I made a beeline to our rooms. I wanted to hide the presents before I ran into Loki. I barely made it in the door before I heard, "How was shopping?"
I looked at Loki and smiled, "Good."
"What did you get?" He asked trying to peek into one of the many bags I carried.
I held the bags out of his reach, "Uh-uh. No peeking. You can't have your gifts until Christmas."
His brows lifted in surprise, "You bought me something?"
"Of course." I slapped his hand away when he tried to peek again, "but, you don't get to have them until Christmas." I repeated.
He pouted. Rolling my eyes, I walked into our room to store them in my closet.
"No looking." I stared down the tall Asgardian who followed me. "I'm serious."
"Fine." He caved, grabbing my hands and pulling to him. "I won't look."
"Thank you." I stood up to press a kiss to his lips.
I had intended the kiss to be quick one, just a simple touch of our lips. That plan apparently wasn't going to work for Loki, who as soon as we made contact, buried one hand in my hair and another cradling my hip.
Wrapping my arms around his neck, I tugged on the ends if his hair to pull him even closer into me. When he deepened the kiss, I moaned.
I felt him chuckle against my mouth. I bit his lip, he stopped laughing and echoed my moan.
A throat cleared in the doorway. I broke away with a blush and saw Thor standing with in the doorway with a huge smile.
"Creeper." I mumbled. His smile only broadened.
"What did you need?" Loki asked.
Thor sobered. "There's something I have to tell you."
Loki just gave him a look that said, get on with it then.
"Tony knows."
"What do you mean, he knows?" Loki stiffened beside me.
Thor sighed, "He knows Jaxon is your wife."
"How?" Loki's voice had become dangerously low.
"He must have searched her name in SHIELD's database. But he promised not to say anything to anyone."
Loki's eyebrows raised, "So, we are just going to take him at his word?"
"Loki, understands what it is like to love someone as you love Jaxon. He doesn't want anyone to go through losing that."
"Fine. But if anything happens to Jaxon, he's the first person I'm going after."

•Christmas Eve •
I smoothed my hands down my side, eyeing myself in the mirror. My new dress wad unlike anything I had ever worn. The forest green silk of the dress I was wearing clung every curve I possessed, and while I was still self-conscious body, I didn't think I looked too bad. I just hoped Loki liked it.
The door to the bathroom adjoining the bedroom opened. Speak of the devil, I thought.
For the longest time, I heard no sound behind me. Steeling myself, I turned to face him.
He stood there, mouth agape, and eyes wide.
I swallowed, "Do you like it?"
He didn't answer, just continued to stare.
