I DON'T OWN PICTURE



"There is hot spring in lowest floor, stairway to there is here." Ivy show around and point toward stairs up and down. "In this floor is one living room and kitchen with dining area. Floor above has other living room and 5 bedrooms. Floor above 6 bedrooms and above it 4 more. Library is over them. At top is my own chambers. Every floor has three toilets and one full bathroom. There is running water everywhere. One faucet for hot and other for cold water. My magic run this place and it recognize when you get in room and light fire so you can see. When you want to shut them just say darkness and lights shut. I don't have electricity here so don't run out of batteries in here." She say lastly and turn around. She has shown ground floor. "You are welcomed to explore everywhere you want but my chambers. Don't try to get inside without my permission. I have made precautions for that." She warn. Others nod and spread out.

"What about private tour for me?" Loki ask and bow slightly with smirk. Ivy smile and reach her hand to him. He take it and she curtsy. "Of course Your Highness." She answer and lead him toward staircase. She show him upstairs living room, guests floors and they laugh to others argue which bedroom which one take. As she promised little lanterns light up wherever they go. Eventually they get in library floor. She push door open and let him go in first. He smile amused to her. When he gasp in shock she chuckle and go inside after him. He look around clearly in shock. "I told you whole floor is library. I have collected all my books in here." She tell him with wide grin. He glance at her before walking further in. Back wall is far and all walls are full of bookshelves with books. "There are books from mortal writers, fairies, werewolves and other supernatural beings. I still had to admit that I doubt that I have any book written by God." She explain and smirk to him. 

Ivy follow smiling how Loki walk deeper inside and look around impressed. She walk to balcony door and go in there. She look at green valley front of her with smile and take deep breath in. "Still smell like ocean and forest." She murmur. "Fairy?" He ask and walk in there too. "This balcony is one of my favorite places in here." "I can see why." He agree and move to hug her from behind. She lean against his chest. "Something is bothering you." "It's nothing." "You always ask me to talk with you, your turn pet." He say and kiss top of her head. She sigh and squeeze his forearms. "I'm scared." She whisper. "You're not alone. I will not let anything happen to you." She turn around in his arms and cup his face between her hands. 

"I am scared that you are taken away from me, like everything else good in my life." Ivy admit. Loki smile softly to her. "You're not losing me Ivy." "You can't know that." She answer quietly. He take her hands in his owns and kiss them. "You're not losing me and I am not going to lose you. I refuse to let that happen." He assure her. "Bu-" "No buts or ifs. We are going to rest for this day and tomorrow before anything happen. Then we will end this with Basilisk. We both will survive, everything will go well." He cut her off. She sigh and nod. "Good. Now if I remember correctly you promised to show me something." He flirt. She frown for a moment until little smile form in her lips. "I might have." "Then I demand to see it." He growl in her ear. She laugh a little. "As Your Highness wishes." She answer and lean to peck his lips. "Wait in library for a moment." She command, burst her wings in view and jump over rail. She fly in highest floor and land in her private balcony.

Ivy quickly chance her armor in that green dress with connected underwear, including long socks and black heels. She look at herself from mirror she made of water and smile. "Still stunning." She praise aloud and end the spell. She turn to open door and walk downstairs. She stop for a moment front of library's door and take deep breath. She push door open and walk in. At first she didn't see Loki and frown confuse while going further in. "My Lady." She hear suddenly behind her and turn around. Loki has black suit with white blouse on. He is bowing to her while reaching hand out. "Your Highness." She answer and curtsy to him before taking his hand. He straighten his posture. "You look stunning pet." He flatter. "You don't look too bad yourself either prince." She answer with grin.

Loki lead Ivy for more open spot and snap his fingers. For her surprise music start to play from somewhere. He pull her closer and snake his arm around her waist while wrapping other hand's fingers around her hand. She smile and lay her other hand on his shoulder. They stare at  each others eyes and then he start to lead her in dance. They dance around library while music fill the air. They waltz effortlessly together, without missing a step. She greatly enjoy dancing with Loki, he is skilled dancer and lead her perfectly balanced way. They start to use more complex steps and he start to smile more widely too, clearly enjoying that she easily keep up with him. She feel like they have danced always together so easily it come to her follow his lead.

But eventually music stop and so did their dance. Loki bend Ivy at the end and hold her in his arm. They stare at each others for a second until he lean to give her deep kiss. She wrap his arms around his neck while he move her back on his feet. "I don't wonder why that man wanted you in this dress." He whisper when they broke apart. "I know. I look gorgeous." She chuckle. "You are absolutely ravishing." He whisper with deep voice. She blush. "You should see what is under this." She purr and slip out of his arms laughing. "Was that a challenge?" He ask with burning eyes. "It depends are you going to behave. I have to take care rest of guests too." She laugh and rush toward door.

Before Ivy manage to catch the doorknob, Loki teleport between her and door. "Forget them." He growl and catch her in deep, heated kiss. She melt under his cold lips and feel herself shiver from lust. She sneak her fingers in his hair and pull them slightly while wrapping right leg around his waist. He slide left hand up her right leg and caress hem of sock. She gasp and he slip his tongue in her mouth. They fight for dominance but eventually she give up. In next second she is pushed against door. Their heated moment get interrupted when something explode and whole tree tremble for a moment. 

They immediately broke apart and rush toward sound. Ivy smell smoke and speed up. Eventually they get in second floor where smoke come. She run inside it and toward where it is coming. Soon Tony meet her in hall coughing. "What did you do?" She ask. "I tried to-" She didn't listen but run in bedroom. One side is exploded and wall is still smoking. She groan and throw water in there to stop it. She examine the damages and grow new wall. She use air magic to get all smoke out before she stomp after Tony. Loki has grabbed him from collar and hold him in place, stopping him from running away. "I just wanted to measure magic power in this tree. It is not my fault that it overheated and exploded." He complain. She sneer and for everyone's surprise summon Mjolnir in her hand. 

Loki let go of Tony and he drop on floor. "You don't use any of your toys inside this place ever again." Ivy growl. He nod and gulp, her eyes must have turn gold again from anger. "And so you remember that." She say and put Mjolnir in his lap to keep him on floor. "You stay in here until dinner is ready." She announce. "WHAT?! FAIRY!" He complain while others, including Loki, burst in laughter. "You are lucky that I didn't decide to destroy all your stuff in here." She answer darkly over her shoulder and walk past him.
