Maid to Honor (Loki Love Story)

Part 13

Loki almost forgot to hold back his smirk as he stretched his limbs, eyeing Rose as she stretched herself out as well on her own side of the training ring. He had already thought it all through when she offered for him to train with her, and how could he refuse? The two of them play fighting... Him winning and getting to pin her down. Maybe she'd even give him a prize for beating her. "Yes, that sounds like it will be highly entertaining.'' He had said, and here they were.

''no powers, this is strictly agility and strength.'' She warned him, figuring that was the meaning behind his mischievous look in his eyes but her cheeks reddened nevertheless. She hid a wince as she shook her wings out and refolded them, still sore from Loki's claims on 'making up for lost time' in the bedroom when she was forced to take time to heal and then they returned back to work. She practically had to beat him off with a stick just to get some breathing room and training was the perfect way to blow off pent up steam, and get herself back into the motions again in combat.

Under his gaze she felt a bit self-conscious, despite how long they've known each other already. Perhaps it was because it was her first time sparring with him, being close contact and all.. or a mix of both as she wore her burgundy tank top and black shorts where he decided to show up only in a pair of loose black trousers. His shirt was gone, showing off the defined muscles of his arms and chest while he gazed at her as if they both were practically naked, making her cross her arms as if to give her some more covering.

''you first, I wish to see where you are in combat.'' She told him, getting into a defense stance with her arms raised and ready.

''as you wish, darling.'' He smirked and got into a similar stance before her.

Loki didn't want to truly fight her, but he also wanted to try to pin her down though he knew that she would not make such things easy on him. After his eyes roam over her figure and he saw a brief moment of her demeanor getting distracted, he finally lashes out at her with his fist. It was aimed for her abdomen, but at the last second, he switches movements all together and uses his leg instead, swiftly aiming to hit her thigh.

With a quick jump, she landed to his side and wrapped a leg around his, pulling so it would go out from under him. Loki was surprised when he felt himself fall to the ground, narrowing his eyes as she moved around him to stand in front. With a slight tap of his finger, he made a hologram of himself seem like he was picking himself back up when he actually was moving right behind her. Just as he saw her body go tense by his presence, he kicked the back of her legs and grabs her shoulders to carefully yank her body so that he could swiftly lower her to the ground and then proceeded to hold her wrists down on either side of her head as she pulled herself out of her minor daze.

''so, you cheated'' she scolded, indicating his use of magic and Loki to feel her attempts to try to free her wrists as he stayed put on top of her with a smirk. the redness of her cheeks didn't go unnoticed.

''I know you take these things a bit seriously love, but you are to tempting for me to stay away from. Especially looking as passionate as you do while fighting." He coos, bringing his hand up to stroke her hair where she rests her hand on his wrist with a slight pull. Useless.

''training is essential and we can't be playing around if it were a real battle, that's how you die'' she said quietly, lacking eye contact and only encouraged him to turn her face to look at him with a gentle hand under her chin. She took things seriously, often to much but also in a way where it was admirable on how she devoted herself. A workaholic as he heard some of the others mention, but he knew now and again she needed to relax, which is probably why he felt her stop fighting him to get off.

''Isn't this the part where you are supposed to get on top of me, and pin me down, collect a win? You'd better hurry." His tone was both teasing, and slightly seductive as he gazes down at her to await her next course of action and her brow raised in both annoyance and light heartedness towards his playful banter.
