Loki's Goddess

Chapter 9

You take your drink and head for a quieter place on the back sofa and just watch the party from a distance. Admiring everyone having an amazing time, laughing, talking, and dancing. Tony comes up and sits beside you.

"What are you doing hiding back here nugget?"

You glance over at him "are you ever going to stop calling me that?"

"Not a chance in hell. Now answer my question."

You sigh "just needed a break from the attention for a minute. I don't like people fussing over me all that much."

He grabs your hand "you know everyone here loves you so much. They would do anything for you."

"I know dad," you smile back at him. His watch beeps and when he looks at it the mood of his face changes. "Is everything okay?"

"Um, yeah. Listen, I want you to enjoy tonight. Get out of your comfort zone and have some fun. But don't get too wasted. We have important things to discuss tomorrow."

"Like what" you ask him.

"Tomorrow," he says smiling and kisses your cheek as he gets up and walks away. You can help but think about the way his demeanor changed. Is it something serious? Well, it will just have to wait until tomorrow.

The party starts to come to an end. The guests leave and the only people remaining are those who live in the compound. You are all sitting around trading stories, laughing, and reminiscing. Even Loki joined in on the fun commenting on Thor's outrageous exploits.

You look up to everyone "well I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all that you've done for me. I wouldn't be the person I am today if it weren't for all of you." You raise your glass, "so here's to all of you, the avengers and me kicking all of your asses."

Everyone laughs and proclaims "cheers!" "And on that note, I'm calling it a night."

You get up from the floor and start to head up on the stairs.

You make it to your room where you finally can take your shoes off. You collapse back on your bed dizzy from all the alcohol.

"Ugh I shouldn't have had that last drink."

"Is now a bad time," a voice says from across the room. You sit straight up on the edge of your bed startled.

"Jesus Loki. How did you get in here?"

He laughs "I do still teleport from time to time dear. I repeat, is now a bad time?"

You look down towards the floor trying to hide your face, "no, what's up."

"I just wanted to see you one more time tonight. That dress is stunning on you. I hope you had fun."

You smile at the compliment, "shockingly I did have a nice time. Possibly one to many drinks but a nice time nonetheless."

He smiles but then has a disappointed look on his face. "One to many indeed. Well, you try and get some rest love." He turns to teleport back to his room when you say "wait, where are you going?"

He looks back at you "I'm going back to my room."

You get up from the bed and walk over toward him, never breaking eye contact. "You were going to leave without giving the birthday girl a kiss goodnight?"

"If I heard correctly, your birthday isn't actually until next week," he laughs rubbing your face.

"Yeah, but we are celebrating tonight, and I demand a kiss goodnight."

"you're drunk darling," he says softly.

You lean toward him "kiss me anyway." This time he doesn't object. He pulls you by the waist and kisses you repeatedly. You can smell his cologne on his neck and can feel his warm hands rubbing your back.

You start pulling him toward the bed. He stops you "Serenity no. We aren't doing it like this. You are drunk. I will only make you mine when you are sober and in your right mind."

You stick your lip out as if to pout like a child. "Fine, be a gentleman or whatever." Loki kisses you once more and lays you in the bed. By the time your head hits the pillow you are already half asleep.

He smiles at you "in due time my dear. In due time." He kisses you once more and teleports back to his room.
