Becoming a Consort

LOKI'S POV

Moments later, she is laying on my chest completely naked, her body draped over mine, as I absent-mindedly play with a strand of her hair. 

I have my other arm draped over her, caressing her back and I place my chin on top of her head. Her breathing is steady just like her heartbeat. I smile to myself; I cannot believe this marvelous woman is in my arms. 

"Are you awake darling?" I whisper as softly as I could trying to make sure I did not wake her in case she was sleeping, but she does not respond. 

I look over her body, the same body that I had just kissed and groped, the body that she so willingly gave over to me, and I notice my handprint on her round ass. 

'I hope that didn't hurt her' I think to myself, worried she might be angry. 

I would never want to mark her unless she wanted me too. 

"It didn't Loki, don't worry" she says with a sleepy voice as she lifts her head and places her chin on my chest.

"Actually, I kinda liked it. I never thought I would like that kind of pain as much as I did when I felt the sting" she says as the blush rushes to her face. 

I smirk at her, "well my dear, it seems there are some kinks you might be interested in, and I gladly volunteer to be the one to explore them with you." 

I raise my eyebrows at her, and she smiles but then looks into my eyes and gets serious.

"Loki, I have something I have to tell you", with those words I feel my stomach sink thinking she already regrets what happened between us but what she says next surprises me instead.

"...during the time I was apparently comatose, I had this dream...about you." I listen to her intently. 

So, she dreamt about me... I think to myself. 

"We...we were..." she stumbles through her words but closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, "in my dream we had sex." I simply smile as I look at her and she continues with her explanation. 

"I have to say, the dream was good. Like really good. But this? This was waaaay better" she says with a grin on her face.

I cannot contain how elated I feel to hear her say that. I press her harder into me as I place a kiss on top of her head. 

I now understand why she was still very insecure about my presence when she awoke at the tower. She thought everything that happened was a dream. 

"In that case, there is something I must confess" I say to her, and she looks at me confused. 

"See, that was not a dream, per say. When you collapsed in my arms, I was worried and, even though I was sure you would be angry with me, I let my consciousness flow into yours when we were left alone that first day."  I say to her.

She looks at me wide eyed but doesn't say anything and I continue. 

"I did not look around or try to find anything other than you. I wanted to talk to you. Explain that I would have never left you if I had known I would not be able to make it back to you. But having you in front of me, after wanting you so much. I couldn't stop myself." 

I stop and search her face, her eyes for any indication of how she is feeling. 

"I feel ashamed that I took advantage of the situation without explaining what was happening..." she presses her finger to my lips which halts my rambling. 

I cannot believe I am rambling...I do not ramble...EVER.
