Mischief Maker | ON HOLD |

Chapter 6

After talking to Bucky for a while I decided to head back to my room to sleep, I'd spent most of the day on foot and it was already quite late in the afternoon.

I needed to be up early to train with Steve anyway.

I locked my door, changed into some comfy pj's and got comfy in bed. I started thinking of ideas on how to bait Loki out, and he was probably thinking the same.

....

"You really are a super soldier!"
I laughed while sitting on the bench and grabbing my water.

"You're not bad yourself Kid."

"Kid? I'm not that much younger than you and Buck."

"In terms of age, no. But you still have a while to go when it comes combat."

"Yeah that's fair."
I took a big gulp of my water.
"I think I'm done for today, I'm gonna go shower."

"Dinner is in an hour."
Steve was packing his things ready to leave and I was doing the same.

"Gotcha."

I was making my way to my room when I was abruptly pulled into another one and slammed against the door.

"What the bloody hell are you playing at?"
Loki was angry at me, and it was fun.

"I'm not playing anything."
I smiled innocently.

"Do you take me for a fool?"
He narrowed his eyes at me.
"I know exactly what you're trying to do with your slightly too loud conversations and slightly too tight revealing clothing."

I grinned.
"I mean, mischievous fool is a thing a-"

I was cut off when he gripped me harder, moved his face closer and lowered his voice.
"You need to stop what you are doing or you will not like where it goes."

My heart was pounding.
"I can decide that for myself."

"This is your first and final warning, Mortal."
His voice was almost at an angry growl and I was enjoying it, probably just a bit too much.

"Noted!"
I smiled before pushing him off and leaving his room. I made a beeline for mine, walking faster than usual.

I got in and quickly shut and locked the door, my heart pounding in my ears.

I got to to him. I actually got to the God of Mischief.

....

By the time I'd finished my shower it was almost time for dinner. I slid on a dark green tank top and pair of black denim shorts, that could be considered slightly too small. I took a moment deciding on what shoes to pair them with before finally deciding on some simple black ankle boots. I fluffed up my damp hair and made my way to dinner.

If my workout clothes got him riled up that much I can't wait to see what this outfit does.

As I walked into the kitchen Nat wolf whistled at me while Wanda winked, they must know what I'm doing.
"Who are you getting all sexy for?"

This prompted Loki to look over and as I sat down, across from him, I could see his jaw clench from across the table and he looked away. I also saw his fists clench a bit harder.

Bingo.

Wanda leaned over to whisper to me.
"You should see what's going through his head."

"Is it good?"
I whispered back.

"Depends what you're into."
She winked at me and we started laughing then told Nat who joined in.

Safe to say for most of the dinner Loki either tried to avoid looking at me or was just scowling at me. The second he was done, he abruptly stood up and made a beeline for his room.

After the other guys had left, the girls turned to look at me.

"So, you fancy telling us what all this is about?"
Nat asked and I explained to them what's going on.

"Well, sounds like you need help from a master."
Wanda grinned.
"I'm sure Nat would love to help."

"I absolutely would."

....

We spent a long time discussing what to do and Nat gave me a lot of pointers.

That was to be expected, considering her old line of work.

"Does that really work?"
I asked.

"On a guy like Loki? Absolutely."
She grinned.
"What you're doing is already working, and that's the simplest trick in the book."

"He's already starting to get frustrated because you didn't listen, he doesn't seem to like to be challenged."

"Well, that just makes it more fun."
I grinned and they agreed.

Now I had Nat's professional help, I was born to win this game.
