Horses

"Thank you for that."

Loki couldn't help his answering smirk as he enjoyed the unfamiliar pleasure of her weight resting against him their bodies still joined together.

"My pleasure, or should I say our pleasure rather?"

Ciannait raised her head to look at him before she rolled her eyes and started to stand up, pulling their bodies apart.

She turned away as they both adjusted themselves, she started to leave when Loki grabbed her wrist.

"Don't hide yourself away."

"I'm not."

"Really because you tend to be rather elusive prey," Loki yanked her back on to his lap, nipping lightly at her shoulder, "Not that you aren't well worth the hunt."

"I won't hide away, I'm usually busy or just staying in my rooms. Just..." Ciannait bit down on her lip, loathed to give away any information about her powers, "Just if you want to find me just think about me, really hard, and if I can I'll find you."

"Think about you really hard, when I have something really hard for you. "

Loki winked at her and pulled her in for another kiss, "I look forward to thinking about you a lot."

They spent another few minute just kissing, Loki's lips were beginning to move more urgently against her own when she caught a glance outside the glazed window and realized just how late it was.

Reluctantly she pulled away and put her forehead to Loki's, and whispered, "I have to go."

For a moment his grip tightened on her, but then he released her.

Just before she reached the door to leave the library, she heard Loki's voice call quietly to her.

"Sleep well my vixen. "

The next few days passed quickly, Loki enjoyed finding the most obscure places in the palace, yet it would only be moments before Ciannait would appear, and the two of them would nearly attack each other in their lust.

The day before they were due to leave, Loki was lounging in his rooms, considering going out to find out to find Ciannait and fuck her till she was senseless into the nearest surface when Njords steward appeared, a small nervous man with a tic as he spoke, informing him he needed to go down to the stables to pick a horse.

He was nearly at the stables when a loud commotion and two large black horses rushed past him causing him to jump back.

"Someone fetch Lady Ciannait!"

A roughened man shouted, coming out of the stables into the stable yard, looking at the horses already too far to chase when he caught sight of Loki and he quickly bowed.

"Forgive me Prince Loki, these are Lady Ciannait's horses. Gentle as rabbits they are with her but skittish with everyone else. No doubt the new stable boy tried to ride one of them and that's how they got out."

Loki looked as the two horses now in the distance.

"They are beautiful. "

"Aye, the pride of the royal stables. King Njord likes to claim credit for them but if it wasn't for Lady Ciannait, they wouldn't have made it past their first month."

The sound of approaching horses hooves made them both turn to see Ciannait with the both of the horses following her eagerly without leads.

Without a word she passed and Loki followed, she led them both into stalls before going into one, leaning over checking the food and water before giving the horse an affectionate pet gently along his neck.
