Servant of Jotunheim

Teach Me

When I wake in the morning, I can feel him caressing my cheek and I open my eyes to find him staring at me fondly. I was fortunate that he had not awoken when I returned to his bed the previous evening.

Me: "Good morning".

Loki: "Good morning. I have already ordered breakfast for us and sent the servant away who changes the linens so we will not be disturbed".

Me: "Such a wonderful King you are" I say as I wrap my arm around him.

We eat breakfast together before he draws a bath for us. I am beginning to realise that he is constantly catering to my every need as of late, almost as if our previous roles had been reversed.

As we lay there in the water with his arms wrapped affectionately around my waist, I run my fingers along the golden chain and his hand quickly meets mine.

Loki: "Do you truly like it?"

Me: "I never wish to take it off".

His hand slowly moves down my body takes my hand with his, causing my body to tingle all over in the most delightful way.

Me: "I should go" I state, trying to pull away from my lustful thoughts towards him.

Loki: "So soon?" he asks with a slight hint of disappointment in his voice.

I wanted nothing more than to stay here with him, but I had a previous engagement that I could not possibly get out of.

Loki: "I had never bathed with a woman before you. I rather enjoy it".

Me: "Perhaps you could join me for another in my chambers later this evening?"

Loki: "You temptress" he smiles devilishly.

I leave him there and return to my own chambers where Ruth and Sara arrive shortly afterwards to join me.

Ruth: "What is wrong?"

Sara: "We were told you needed to see us urgently".

Me: "I do. I need you to teach me how to dance".

Ruth: "Ah, of course. We had heard that Prince Thor had insisted you attend the ball" she sniggers.

Me: "The King claims it does not matter if we dance together that evening, but I do not wish to displease him".

Sara: "Do not worry, we will gladly teach you".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After spending a large majority of the day practicing many different dances in my chambers, we are all exhausted and my feet are in agony.

It would appear that I had two left feet at the beginning, but by dinner time I was slightly less terribly.

Ruth: "Not bad, Anya" she smiles when we cease our practice.

Sara: "We will come back here tomorrow and pick up where we left off".

Me: "Thank you both so much. I hope I will not completely embarrass myself on the night" I laugh.

I hand them both some gold coins and they seem quite surprised that I would give them something in exchange for their help.

Ruth: "You do not need to pay us, dear. We were happy to assist you".

Me: "I do not require material things or gold coins so I would rather it be given as a gift to my friends".

Sara: "This is far too generous".

Me: "Not nearly generous enough. You two are the first real friends I have ever had in my life and you have shown me nothing but kindness since the first day I arrived here".

A fact I would never forget for as long as I live.
