Cuts and Bruises

II

     It had been an hour or so since Loki was assigned to the young Stark girl. To say he had enjoyed every second of teasing and annoying her was an understatement. With a simple word or suggestive look, she'd be all hot and bothered and he was bathing in it. This was his new favorite activity, guilty pleasure really.

     He also didnt mind her company she was quiet and wasn't constantly looking at him which was oddly relieving but annoying to him. He was used to woman and men stopping and staring at him as if he was some god, which he is, but here she sat not even acknowledging the mischievous god sitting across from her.

     A book rested in her hands her eyes moving across the pages as she read. He glanced at the cover reading in bold letters "Asylum". Loki stands up walking behind her his lips close to her ear. "What're you reading?" She jumps a little a squeak passing her lips. "Don't...don't do that." She places the book down rubbing her cheeks. "Do what Darling?" She turns around in her chair staring into his eyes a hint of annoyance evidently on her face.

     "Sneak up behind me." She states plainly turning back around and grabbing her book again, she continues reading ignoring Lokis previous question. He sits by her "You didn't answer my question." She glances at him looking back at her book. "What was the question?" He chuckles realizing he startled her as to where she didn't hear him.

     "I asked what you're reading." She smiles lightly. "Its a horror book about ghosts and a haunted asylum." He nods "seems rather basic and boring." She sighs. "I thought so too before I read it. It's actually pretty good since there are some messed up scenes." He looks at the page seeing a Black and white picture of what looks like a group of nurses and a man. All of their eyes are crossed out.

     "Mind reading it to me?" She looks at him confused. "What?" He rolls his eyes. "Your little explanation has intrigued me. I'd like for you to read it to me." She looks back at her book than once again at Loki. "I'd have to start over for you to understand what's happening." He smiles "Then let's make it a date." He winks.

     She gulps looking down at her lap Loki having accomplished his goal standing up going to one of the many shelves pulling off a Shakespearean book once again sitting down by the flustered girl. God, was this mortal entertaining to him. He did like the change of making someone absolutely flustered and not having them shoving their tongue down his throat.

     The change was nice but mildly frustrating since she showed no actual sign of attraction towards him.

     He couldn't wait to make this woman madly obsessed with him just so he could use that to his advantage and have some sort of fun. Hey, he might as well have some kind of excitement if he's going to be stuck here until he can find a way out.

     What better way to do that than seduce one of the most annoying peoples daughter?

     He has hope that he can make her beg for him and his attention but for now, he'll be a flirtatious asshole until that time comes.

     Time seems to fly by as the two individuals read in quiet, the sound of a nearby clock ticking.

     Now that KyLea thought about it there seemed to be a lot of clocks in stark tower. She honestly didn't mind since she loved the sound clocks make. Rhythmic and constant.

     Who wouldn't love the sound of clocks? They're the only thing that stays the same and doesn't change, with the sound of course.

     Having gotten lost in thought she didn't even register Lokis' hand on her thigh. He of course took the opportunity to sqeeuze said apendage wanting to hear the sound she'd make. Like he guessed he heard her gasp her cheeks growing a dark red. "Sorry Darling, I had to get your attention out of dreamland." She hits his shoulder her face staying the same shade of red.

     "And you thought t-touching my thigh would be the best idea?" The stutter didn't help her with calming herself down or seem like it didn't bother her. In fact, it made the situation worse. Oh my, wasn't listening to her falling apart from a simple touch absolutely divine. Her whole reaction was just delicious to the god.

     "Honestly yes since it did get your attention." She opens her mouth wanting to protest but closes it shortly after knowing she'd make everything worse if she talked. Never did loki think he'd find someone so entertaining, boy does he want to keep her for a while.

     Like some pet.

     It sure had been a while since Loki had a pet and by god was it exciting to get a new one.

     "Ah, Lady KyLea!" Thor bursts through the library door a faint smile adorning his face. "I knew I'd find you in here." She lifts her head up a wide smile on her face. "Oh hey, Thor." She stands out of her seat walking over to Thor giving him a tight hug, Loki feeling annoyed at this little friendly gesture.

     What relationship did his brother exactly have with his new pet?

     "Why were you looking for me?" They pull away from the hug Loki feeling relieved. "I was wondering if you'd like to continue the 'Movie Marathon'." He smiles gently looking down at the petite girl (compared to him and Loki) her smile grows. "That'd be awesome! I've been waiting for you to come back so we could." Wait. She was leaving?

     Loki glares at his brother for taking his new toy away so soon. Loki watches as a frown replaces her previous smile. "Sadly I can't" those were the three best words Loki had heard since he got here. Thor looks at her confused. "I'm in charge of watching your brother." Thor smiles bigger. "Well, he could join us."

     A chuckle escapes pass her lips "I don't think hed like to watch with us." Thor looks at Loki pleading with his eyes for him to join. "No." He states coldly. Thor looks put down after that simple word. "Loki, it'd be awesome if you did." He hears his pet's melodic voice say his name making his heart stop. Oh how he wouldn't mind hearing her say his name while they tangled in a heated embrace.

     He looks up seeing her hazel green eyes staring at him awaiting his answer. He caves in finding that this will be a perfect opportunity to make her squirm under his touch and words. Boy would this be a fun night. "Fine." Thor looks at Loki surprised than at KyLea. "You really do have a gift." She laughs at his comment making Loki seeth.

     God, was he going to make her squirm.
