When we collide (Book 1)

An icy touch

          "What kind of idea?" Cate asked him, not really sure what to expect from the God of Mischief himself. She looked at him as his face grew more and more serious. He seemed hesitant, but he sat closer to Cate and took her hands in his.

"Since we cannot seem to keep your fever down and it's causing you to have seizures.." He sighed as nerves got to him. But as the seconds pass, Cate became wary of what he was about to suggest.

"Loki, you're worrying me, what's going on? Talk to me." She asked, confused and concerned. At that moment, Loki looked deep into Cate's eyes as his own started shifting to a crimson shade of red. Cate, realizing he was dropping his illusion to mask his frost giant origins, removed her hands from his and placed them on his cheeks knowing far too well he wasn't fond of his true form. He had only showed her this side of him once, months ago. His skin slowly turned blue and lines appear across his face. The design of them made him even more unique and Cate absolutely loved it. She was caressing his cheeks, running her fingers gently and softly on the beautiful landscape that was his frost giant skin. He was looking at her with shame and sadness in his eyes before he looked down. Seeing him like that made her feel awful as she wished he saw himself the way she saw him.

"Loki.." She raised his chin up to have him look at her. She sat a little bit closer to him and kissed him lovingly. Her lips grazed his and he stood still, not understanding why she was so comfortable with his original form. "I love all of you." Loki, touched by her gesture, composed himself and touched her hand with his. "You never show me your jötun form. Whats' going on?"

"My frost giant blood makes my skin cool to the touch. I thought it'd be worth a try since those blasted washcloths aren't doing you any good. Lay in bed with me and let me bring that nasty fever down?" He barely looked at Cate as he talked about his true form.

"That is a brilliant idea. Might just work." She smiled at him and she held her head as she suddenly started feeling dizzy. Loki held onto her as she rested her head on his chest for a few seconds as it passed. Loki asked her how she was doing before he moved and when she confirmed her dizziness had passed, he slipped his hands into her shirt. Cate looked at him, and as her eyes became violet, he lightly grinned. She smiled back at him and raised her arms upward and he slid his hands up her sides, dragging her soft silky shirt off along with them. She stood up in front of him and he placed his hands on the waistband of her boho skirt, as he kissed her stomach. She shuddered when his lips touched her skin. He was right about the cold, but she found it surprisingly arousing. She ran her hands through his black hair as he kissed her softly and started to pull down her skirt as his hands lightly grazed her butt and thighs. Once she was undressed, he picked her up by the waist and dropped her on his lap. They gazed into each others eyes as he shifted to the side to put her back in bed. She turned to face him and cuddled next to him. Cate rested her head against his chest as Loki pulled the green blanket on top of them.

"I thought I wasn't allowed to have any blankets?" She smirked at him.

"This way it won't be too much of a contrast, darling. Beside, this blanket is very thin it won't affect your heat much." He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tight. Cate was tracing the lines on his abdomen softly. Even though he wasn't fond of this form, Loki felt warm as she touched him so tenderly. "Can you feel the cold, my love?" She looked up to him and nodded. She raised her head up to him so she could kiss him again. Cate could feel his cold breath as their lips met. Her hand travelled up to meet his neck so she could pull him even closer to her. When she deepened the kiss, Loki drew back. "I'll tell you what you told me not too long ago, love. Do not start something you cannot finish." He laughed as she gave him a smirk.

"Oh, but I do want to finish this..." She said softly. He hugged her tight and she started kissing his neck. When she used her tongue, she felt the cold going down her spine, which gave her goosebumps. She kept kissing him and he enjoyed the intensity of her hot breath against his frozen skin. She traced her fingertips along the lines of his chest down to his undergarments. They felt suddenly very tight to Loki as his length started to harden under her touch. Loki took her hand and raised it to his lips to kiss it softly.
