Can a God, truly be redeemed?

Chapter 1

     What Loki loved the most about you, what truly showed him, he had found his mate, was when his jotun heat hit for the first time. He had shown you his jotun side a couple months after you both started dating. Loki needed to know the girl he was falling for could love ALL of him and all his forms. When he showed you not only his Jotun side but his female form as well you didn't hesitate once to show him how you loved him in any form he takes.You loved him, how he appeared didn't change who he was to you. He was still your Loki. Since that day Loki knew he had found his mate, his one. He knew then that one day soon he would make you his wife. So how did 2 years together pass and he has yet to move forward with you?

     You both seemed to realize you had fallen into such a routine together with your busy lives, that you both put being lovers off to the side as you worked on your careers. His, as an Avenger was stressful and always changing at a moments notice when a mission was called. He could be gone hours, to days, to weeks if necessary with no way to communicate while he was away. You have been promoted to head editor at your publishing house. It was your dream position, one you have worked your ass off for. The one downside was the extreme hours you had to work. Being in charge and filtering through so many manuscripts at one time left you exhausted by the time you went home. You would stay till the early hours of the morning, sometimes 1 or 2am till you realized you had to go home and sleep. You barely managed to strip off your clothes to pass out next to a sound asleep Loki if he was home or a cold empty bed if he was away. You hated feeling like you both were worlds apart despite sleeping soundly next to each other.

     So today you made an oath after receiving a text from your love that his mission had finished sooner than expected and would be returning home early this evening. You vowed to yourself that you were going to remedy this issue by leaving work early and take the next few days for leave and spend it all with your lover, hopefully, mostly without leaving your bedroom. You decided you would stop by the little lingerie shop across the way and pick up something special to wear to greet him a welcome home he won't soon forget.

Sadly nothing ever works out the way you want them too....
