Part 38 - I Need You

"Are you crazy?" Happy shouts over the music. "Go after her you big dope!" He tries his hardest to push Thor, failing miserably before turning his attention to Peter and Pietro. "You two, get this place cleaned up now!"

Thor looks around, saddened that his, well Nat's plan, had failed. "Do I...?" He questions looking around the room. A resounding YES shouted from everyone almost makes him take a step back, before he decides to chase after you.

You've barely gotten down the hallway when you hear the loud footsteps coming from behind. Assuming it's Tony, you practically run to your bedroom door, desperate not to talk to him, before a strong hand stops you, almost pulling you completely off your feet. "Kate," he huffs out, reaching out and steadying you. "I'm sorry, I just..."

"What part of I can't do this don't you understand?" You snap, trying to pull yourself away from him, but his grip remains. Not painful, just desperate.

"You think I can?" He snaps back. "You think I want this, this awkwardness between us? These last few days have been hell for me." He finally lets go of your arm, before running a hand through his hair and looking down at the ground.

"It's not exactly been a walk in the park for me." You admit. "But I need to stay away from you. Fury.."

"Forget Fury!" He yells again before looking up at you. "What about what you said to Loki. Stop lying to yourself Kate."

"He told you?" Now it's your time to shout. "Why am I not surprised?" You throw your hands up in frustration.

Thor doesn't respond immediately, not wanting to admit that he, amongst others, had heard it from your OWN mouth. "Does it matter?" He shrugs. "Was it the truth?" As he looks at you, your stomach drops, your mind screaming at you to tell him that it is, but all you can do is nod. He sighs, looking around the hallway before turning his attention back to you. "I've wanted to give you space you deserve. I've wanted to leave you alone, but the truth is..." he pauses before taking a step closer to you, making you back up into your bedroom door. "The truth is I need you."

His voice is low, eyes never moving from your face, mainly focusing on your lips. You're not ready to have this conversation, yet you need it badly - Fury's words still ringing in your ears, while Loki's dominate your heart. Willing your body to move, you suddenly find yourself mere inches away from him, trying your hardest not to look his way. Reaching behind you for the door handle, trying to escape, Thor intercepts you, cupping your face making you look up at him. You can't help but focus on his eyes, losing yourself in their depth, leaning into his touch. Moving one hand down to your waist he pulls you closer, your breath hitches. "I need you Kate," his voice is barely a whisper.

Those words send fire all over your body, heat radiating from every part of you. Staring at his lips, you feel your heart is almost ready to burst in anticipation. Nothing else matters in this moment; not Fury, not Loki - just him. All you need right now is him. Placing a hand on his chest, running your fingers over the fabric of his jacket, you're desperate for him to kiss you.

"I need you too." You barely get the words out before his lips crash into yours. Every part of your body reacts to him, longing for more. He wraps an arm tightly around you, pulling you against him before resting your back against the cold wall of the compound - the mixture of heat and cold just accelerating your need. Deepening the kiss, Thor runs one hand slowly up your back, while the other caresses down your body, stopping briefly at your hip, toying slightly with your dress.

You reach up, wrapping your arms around his neck, pulling him closer to you; bodies crashing together, electricity shooting down your entire body, just lost in each other. As you run your fingers through his hair, he pulls away, giving you a chance to catch your breath as he rests his forehead against yours, breathing heavily. Opening your eyes to look into his you see the fire in them, the desperation.

After a small kiss to your cheek he moves to your neck - small kisses interrupted with gentle nibbles, each one making you squirm as he holds you tighter. To stop yourself from crying out in complete ecstasy you steady a hand on his shoulder, digging fingernails in deeply - the other taking a hard grip of his hair, earning a groan from him; the sound vibrating down the entire length of your body - desperately making you more.

Wanting to feel his lips on yours again you run a hand from his shoulder up his neck, ready to pull him back to you when you stop. Instantly you freeze when a realisation hits, what if someone else started walking down the hallway? Gently pushing him away, he looks disappointed before you give him a sly smile. "Not here," you laugh, nodding to the empty hallway, before turning back to your bedroom door. He doesn't give you much space, his chest firmly at your back. Feeling his breath on your neck, where only seconds ago his mouth was sends shivers down your spine.

As soon as the door is closed, his hands are wrapped around you, as he resumes kissing your neck, this time moving on to your collar bone. "Tell me what you want Kate." He whispers in your ear, instantly making you want to burst as his hands move slowly from your waist, twirling you to face him.

"You."
