A Tale of Mischief and Mutants part 2

Natural Seduction

—-Sam—-

As the screen fades to black after the final end credits scene the lights in the auditorium turn back on. It's exhilarating being apart of the clapping audience giving a standing ovation to the film. I thought it was brilliantly done a near perfect adaptation changing things that needed to be updated for the moviegoing audience and keeping the spirit of the comic that made it special to begin with.

Then there was the acting , I didn't know that I'd become so attached to the movie version of the characters but these actors played their parts so well and with such passion. I feel a strong connection with these characters after only one movie. I can't wait for the sequel.

I'm happy to see Peter is light heartedly talking with Mary Jane now and whatever caused him to leave earlier was something Loki was able to help him with. As we file out of the auditorium Tom invites us to the after party which we politely decline it would be fun, but we've both had our fill of socialization for the day in fact probably for the whole weekend.

We instead head home as I step through the portal I remember what I told Loki before we left. I smile to myself I intend to make good on my assurance that we would pick things up later. I've gotten ridiculously comfortable with this aspect of our relationship considering everything I've been through so when Loki leaves the room for a moment, I take the opportunity to surprise him.

—-Loki—-

I return to the bedroom and am taken aback at the sight of a clothes absent Sam laying on the bed seductively. I chuckle in bewilderment at this scandalous behavior from the woman who was once terrified to even have a hand laid upon her in any intimate way.

"What's this then?"

She simply shrugs with a knowing grin.

"I told you later, it's later."

She has gotten incredibly comfortable with intimacy since our first experience with it. I adore every time we've taken things a step further. I smile at her in the most seductive way possible as I remove my shirt.

"Hmm so it is."

I kneel on the bed and kiss her passionately then draw away from the kiss only to whisper to my queen. I want nothing more than to do precisely what she desires.

"What do you want right now?"

Her cheeks flush crimson and she thinks for a second then stutters out a response.

"I don't know I... umm well... there is something."

She pauses looking uncertain of her answer. I cup her cheek in my hand.

"Say it and it will be my love."

"I don't think it's something you'd be comfortable with."

This sparks my curiosity. 'What possible fantasy could she have concocted that she thinks even the god of Mischief would be uncomfortable with it?' I chuckle yet again. She has no idea what I'd be willing to try.

"Try me darling."

She looks a bit nervous which I can't help but find adorable it's not that I enjoy her discomfort I just find it incredibly endearing.

"Okay... just please don't get mad, it's really fine if you don't want to."

'How can she think I'd be angry at her for merely proposing an idea?' My curiosity is only furthered by her reluctance to share her desire with me. I nod keeping my expression soft yet eager.

"I want you to take me... in your natural form."

'What?!' I pull away from her immediately. 'Is this some sort of cruel joke she's playing on me?!' My actions along with my expression must give my thoughts away exactly. She looks genuinely regretful at her request.

"I'm sorry I knew I shouldn't have said anything like that. It's just that form was so beautiful when I saw it before and you've never showed it to me since then and-"

"Beautiful?! It's hideous! That... that thing is a Monst-!"

She glares daggers at me and I close my mouth immediately though I had every intention of going on before.

"DO. NOT. speak that way about my husband. I'm sorry I asked you to do something you're not comfortable with but you don't get to beat yourself down like that. You ARE beautiful regardless of which form you choose to show me and I will not stand to hear you utter a word suggesting otherwise!"

'I... how? How does she see that monster as beautiful?' 'How is it she's so genuine in her belief that it is?' I don't want to hurt her either I'm afraid of that form and what it can do it's a part of me I don't know or understand. I keep it hidden away because it's my shame. But she somehow seems to believe it's beautiful. I speak more softly now still not fully believing she could be genuine about that form.

"You... you really want that?"

"Yes but I understand now. I crossed a line and I won't push you again. I'm really sorry Lo'."

She seems ready to completely drop the subject because of my discomfort but something's keeping me from letting that happen. No one I've ever shown the form to has ever considered it beautiful. Yes Peter told me it was no big deal and Thor said something much the same. They didn't think it was hideous as I see it to be but it goes without saying they didn't show an affinity for it as Sam inexplicably has.

The next words I speak come coaxed only by Sam's seemingly genuine assertion that the form is beautiful. I can show her again if she really wants to see it... I just can't risk hurting her.

"...if we took it slow."

She looks completely surprised by my offer. She rests her hand at my cheek looking proud of my willingness to show her that form again.

"Whatever my king wants."

I smile before nervously shifting my form.
