AN ILLICIT LOVE

Chapter 14

When I got to the throne room, I heard a noise coming from inside. I pressed my head against the large door, trying to hear better, but the room went silent. When I heard footsteps coming toward the door, I hid as fast as I could. I found myself behind one of the large pillars and I poked my head around the pillar to see Loki talking with Lady Sif. My heart sank. The sight of him and her talking and laughing together just hurt. I know they're old friends, but she is getting too close. I peered around the pillar again to see Lady Sif caressing Loki's arm. Oh did the furry rise, but I didn't want to be seen so I hurried back to my room as quietly as I could.

Once I arrived at the door of my room, Loki was standing there with his arms crossed.

"Excuse me, my prince." I tried getting around him, but he wouldn't let me by.

"Why were you walking around earlier? You should be getting your rest, my Angel. Our wedding is in a few days." He said, stepping closer to me.

"I know, but if I'm going to be living here, then I should know how to get around, right?" He smiled at me and nodded.

"Yes, You should, but Angel, you will have all the time in the world to get to know this magnificent palace." My Asgardian prince wrapped his arms around me and closed the gap separating us. Our lips connected and when I pulled away, I opened the door and led him inside.

After we had our fun, Loki pulled me close and held me tight. "Can I ask you something, Handsome?" I looked into his beautiful green eyes and he smiled at me.

"Of course, Angel. What is going on inside that pretty little head of yours?" I took a deep breath and answered my fiance.

"I saw you talking with Lady Sif today. She got too close for my comfort."

"Is that why you ran away from the throne room? I promise you, Angel, Sif and I are merely friends. Nothing more and nothing less. Besides, she likes my brother more, so no need to get defensive." My love kissed me one more time and he stood to get dressed for our dinner together.

Loki and I walked into the dinning hall and took our seats in the center of the table. We talked with everyone in the room, which took FOREVER, but it meant a lot to my prince. So after we were done walking and talking with every person there, I took my seat again, but my prince asked me to dance. I declined, but he kept on insisting.

"Handsome, I would love to dance, but my feet are hurting. I would never turn down the chance to dance with you." I smiled at him and he grabbed my hand, pulling me from my chair. I glared at him the entire time we danced tonight and by the end of everything, Loki and I were on our way to my room for the night.

The next morning I woke up without my prince next to me again, but this time I heard him frantically looking for his brother. I don't know what had happened because the last thing I knew, Thor was still on earth. I climbed out of bed and poked my head out of the door. When I spotted my Asgardian, we locked eyes and he headed my way.

"What's wrong, Loki?" I asked worriedly.

"Nothing is wrong, Angel, it's just that my brother has gone missing and we can't seem to find him, but no worries. Now, how about a play?" I smiled and agreed.

About halfway through the play, I heard him. "Hello, father." Loki stood up, taking a sip from his goblet and almost choked on his wine.

"My son, Thor, everybody." Loki raised his hand and Thor walked over to us. I backed away cause from the look on Thor's face, he knew just who was standing in front of him.

After throwing Mjolnir, Thor grabbed the back of Loki's neck and waited for the hammer to return to him. I don't know what was said between the brothers, but all I saw was Thor letting go of my prince and Loki returning to his normal form. I ducked behind the couch and Loki called for me. "It's okay, Angel. No one is going to hurt you."

I creeped up, peering over the back of the furniture in front of me. I looked at Thor and Loki, still worried about what's going on. "Loki, I need to speak with you in private."

Thor grabbed Loki again and dragged him off somewhere, and the two of them returned after probably twenty minutes. "Piper is coming with us. That way she can stay there and be out of harm's way." My head snapped in Loki's direction and he grabbed my hand as he led us to the Bifrost.

Once we arrived on Earth, Loki took me to the compound and left me at the front door. "Angel, I love you." Loki kissed me and went to find his brother. I don't know what was going on, but hey, some time with Hailey wouldn't hurt. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
