A Court of Thrones and Thieves (ACOTAR FANFIC)

Chapter 27

~~~~NYX~~~~

Night had once again fallen. Loki and Nyx didn't go further than the slow easy kisses. They fell asleep not long after, with no nightmarish interruptions. 

When they awoke and dressed again. Nyx felt as if all control had officially snapped. Like the kiss she granted him was so utterly addicting that distance from her felt painful. 

He couldn't take his eyes off of her as she tied her boots and slipped the leather gloves on her fingers. 

Something about her bare hands felt more intimate than any lovemaking he could have with her. His skin was still burning from the memory of her delicate fingers. 

He had tasted her and he didn't think he could ever live without it again. 

She tasted like peach champagne and caramel. He couldn't get her taste out of his head and he couldn't help but wonder if she tasted just as sweet elsewhere. 

He shoved the thought down, controlling his arousal as best he could. They were moving forward, he didn't want to screw it up by acting like a horny teenager. 

He followed her down the stairs and out onto the streets, his hand resting casually on her lower back. 

Nyx spotted Nina, standing at the end of the street looking utterly exhausted. 

"Hey sweetheart, got what I asked for?" Loki asked as they stepped next to her. 

"Ya, I found her. Took all day but I found her. She can get us in. I called in your favor with her so after this she says she owes you nothing." Nina responded motioning to a scandalously dressed female standing by the far wall. 

They walked towards her, her eyes focused on Loki before turning to him. The prostitute looked Nyx up and down a slow smirk spreading across her face.

"Damn Dirty hands, you sure know how to pick some good company. He could have me for the night and I wouldn't charge him a cent." The woman said as she stared hungrily at Nyx.

"Watch your mouth Jaz. That male is Loki's mate." Nina's voice was mocking and playful. The woman's eyes widened in horror. 

"I-I'm sorry! I didn't know." The woman, Jaz, whimpered. She was practically pissing herself at the thought of having lusted after Loki Brekker's mate.

Nyx felt a sort of pride being utterly claimed by Loki, by others backing off the second they knew who he was to her. 

"Get us into the prison and I'll forget your indiscretion. Say some shit like that again and I'll carve out your heart and make you eat it." Loki's voice was so dark and dangerous it sent a chill up Nyx's body. The dominating threat in her tone was sexy as fuck. 

"Right!" Jaz nodded leading them to a building surrounded by high walls. The woman walked up to the guard on duty, she whispered something in his ear and the guard's eyes widened before he left his post quickly. 

Loki checked her watch, a habit he was growing very fond of, before she walked in through the now unguarded door.

"We're square, right Brekker?" Jaz asked her voice shaking slightly. 

"Your debt is paid. Get out of my sight." Loki didn't break stride as she walked right passed Jaz into the prison. 

Nyx looked around, confused at the lack of security in a prison. Loki noticed his confusion and answered. 

"The Xesha border is near impossible to cross. It's even harder to get into the capital without being caught. They are cocky, they assume no one would get this far so why bother with security. Besides no one expects people to break into a prison that's the easy part, they are focused on making so no one leaves who isn't supposed to."
