Maid to Honor (Loki Love Story)

Part 8

Rose's eyes shot open the moment her mind opened for business the next morning. Her body shot up straight to a sitting up position and her hands quickly caught the sheet that almost fell off her chest. Loki..

Just his name alone that flashed in her mind followed many memories right after it and what had just happened last night. Sex.. they had sex.. her.. him.. they.. together! Her cheeks reddened at the very thought of it, yet her heart raced for an entirely different reason. Regret? No no.. it was truly.. amazing but.. oh gods.. Fury was going to kill her-

''good morning darling.''

His voice nearly scared her as her eyes moved to the doorway in which he entered, holding a coffee mug and a well-rested expression on his face, though the hungry look almost never went away. ''g-good morning..''

''rest well?'' he couldn't help but add a smirk as he sat beside her and handed her the mug in which it held the hard honest labor of home brewed coffee he had asked her to show him how to prepare considering how much he saw her drink.

Rose's cheeks reddened more as she used one hand to keep the sheet to her chest while the other brought the cup to her lips, giving him a 'well done' expression before her eyes staggered from his gaze. ''I- need to go to work.'' She told him.

Loki raised a brow with a mildly confused expression and almost chuckled ''whatever for? Aren't you already at your job?'' he lightly teased, gently brushing a lock of her hair behind her, causing her body to pleasantly shiver as it remembered the familiar touch of his fingertips.

''but I just a.. need to go over a few things with Fury.'' She told him, setting the cup down on the nightstand before she got off the bed, keeping the sheet around herself as she went to the closet to fetch her uniform, Loki's eyes following her with a unreadable expression now.

''of what darling?''

''why so many questions in the morning?'' she sighed.

''afternoon actually.''

Rose seemed to jump at the realization, causing her to cuss silently before her actions quickened. Loki merely laid back on the bed, propped up on his forearms as he almost seemed to hold back his smirk. ''why the rush?''

''because I need to go over things with Fury.'' She repeated flatly.

''about the job?'' he asked and also didn't..

''..yes.'' to be honest, it was crazy! They slept together.. true they both had feelings for each other.. but working together t the same time, especially with now deeper circumstances would just have them worrying about each other on missions, bias matters and.. awkwardness? Let alone the biggest scolding- if she was lucky, from the Director if he were to figure it out, let alone the rest of the teams which could pick up on anything different about her in a second. Especially that play-boy son of a bi-

''I already did.''

Loki's statement almost had her shoulder whack into the closet door as she spun around to face him with her eyes wide and her grip almost dropping the sheet. ''-what?''

''I already did.'' Loki smiled innocently as he got up and strode over to her. ''he was quite understanding actually, made sure we'd be able to work together. Closely..'' his voice got seductive as his hands glided up her arms before resting at her shoulders, his thumbs gently rubbing against her smooth skin. ''he even made me in charge.''

''of who?!'' she almost sounded offended as her mind began to race.

''you.''

Rose blinked up at him, as if she were waiting for him to say he was kidding, but instead he made himself busy with his lips against her skin, not even bothering to stop him from making marks on her neck; the previous ones were still there anyway so either way she was dead. ''that's impossible- how could he make you in charge?''
