Three Years Later
Cassandra lifted her arms in a long luxurious stretch. "We're getting married today." She tossed a pillow at Loki's head. "So, get out of bed handsome."
Loki flicked the pillow aside with his magic and sat up, the sheets pooling around his waist.
Cassandra's mouth went dry at the sight of his naked chest. "Who needs a room with a view when I wake up to this every day?" She mused aloud.
"I for one vote for sleeping in. The wedding is not until this afternoon. It will not take us long to get ready." Loki sank back against the pillows, the tight muscles in his abdomen flexing in an interesting way.
Cassandra closed her eyes. Control. Control. Control. She urged herself. As grand as Loki was, she expected more enthusiasm.
Lifting her chin, she marched over to his side of the bed and yanked the sheet away, leaving him completely naked stretched out on the bed. "Come on. You know its not true. I have to get my hair and makeup done."
Loki threaded his fingers through his sex-tangled hair. "Maybe I should get my hair done too." He swung his legs over the side of the bed taking back the sheet to wrap around his waist.
Cassandra pouted at him for covering the view.
Loki looped an arm around her waist and stooped to kiss her. His blue eyes twinkled mischievously. "Darling, I know you. If I give into your lustful needs, we'll miss our own wedding."
"You weren't complaining last night." Cassandra grumbled at him, moving aside so he could reach the pitcher of water on the nightstand.
"When it comes to you in our bed, I'll never complain but we do have our guests to think of." A bead of water trickled from the corner of his mouth as he drank and slid down the strong column of his throat.
Cassandra tucked her hands in the pockets of her robes to keep from tearing his sheet away and pinning him to the mattress. She walked over to the window and pushed the curtains aside. The sky was clear. "We have a beautiful day for the ceremony."
"Of course. I never settle for anything less than perfection." Loki padded toward the bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower before breakfast." He favored her with an impish smile. "Alone."
Cassandra folded her arms across her chest and looked away. "Hmph!"
The tease.
Someone knocked at the door. Cassandra double-checked the tie on her robe before opening the door to avoid giving the visitor an eyeful. A bellboy wheeled a food trolley into the room with a pair of covered dishes. "Here's your breakfast, miss."
Cassandra read his name tag. "Thank you, Derrek." She dug around in her purse for a twenty and pressed the bill into his hand.
He beamed and wished her a wonderful stay before leaving.
Cassandra lifted the cover off the first covered dish which turned out to be Loki's breakfast, of kippers, bacon, and eggs.
Her stomach lurched violently and bile rose in her throat. Uh-oh.
Cassandra barely made it to the wastebin before vomiting. It didn't take her long to empty the contents of her stomach since she hadn't eaten breakfast.
This is the third day in a row. Wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, she rose on jelly legs and grabbed the drug store bag, determined to get an answer.
Loki was still in the shower when she barged into the bathroom. Cassandra ripped the end off the pink box and read the instructions. Huh. So, she really did have to pee on it.
