Give me Love

7. Music Calms Even the Angriest Loki

You weren't sure if it was a dream or not... You couldn't be sure if your eyes were open or closed... The exhaustion that ran through your body certainly made it feel like you were awake... But there was a blur and haze to your vision which made you doubt that it was reality. You slowly reached up to trace the line of your eyelids. Yes... you were definitely awake... You tried to sit up, but the heaviness of the blankets wrapped around your body mixed with the dizziness that sent the room into a spin stopped you. An arm suddenly snaked around you and pulled you tightly against the familiar muscular chest. Loki.

"I have already told you to sleep pet." He growled, clearly irritated from being woken up. "If you wake me again, you will sleep on the floor." You glanced over to his green eyes that seemed to glow in the dim light. They were sleep-heavy and showed for a moment an innocent weakness in his eyes, you weren't used to seeing him like that at all... Suddenly his eyes sharpened and darkened, causing you to jump slightly. You bit back the scared whimper that had built in your throat and nodded.

"I'm sorry..." you voice was raspy and brought an itch to your throat that just wouldn't go away. Loki closed his eyes and loosened his grip slightly. You rolled over and tried to forget about the pain in your throat and the intense emptiness in your stomach...

You laid there for several minutes, trying to force the itching in your throat to go away, but nothing would work... You gripped your throat to stop the dry coughs that threatened to escape, and just when you thought you couldn't hold the coughs back anymore, Loki's arm slinked around you once more and tightened around you as you were slowly enveloped in a green light.

"Now will you stop squirming?" he growled as the irritation in your throat began to slip away. You nodded. "Good..."

With the irritation in your throat gone, you were able to spend what remained of your energy to stop the growling in your stomach which, to your surprise, was easier than you first thought. Just as you began to drift off, you could have sworn you heard the faintest sounds of music... No... It couldn't be, not in a place like this... It must have been your mind playing a trick on you...

The next morning you were awoken by the gentle tickle of your hair brushing across your cheek. Your (e/c) eyes cracked open and you looked up, thinking a window had been left open, but no... Your head was in Loki's lap, and his fingers were tangling mindlessly in your hair as he talked casually with someone in the room. It was an unfamiliar feeling... Lying like you were, it made you almost feel like you were - - no... that's ridiculous. It was then that he noticed you had woken-up; he gestured for the other person to leave before turning his attentions to you.

"My dear, now that you're finally awake, what do you think we should do today? I've cleared my schedule for today," the smirk playing on his lips made you nervous... "This is what you wanted, isn't it pet?" Your mouth fell open slightly, but you didn't know how to respond... You were absolutely tongue tied.

"I..." was all you could manage before Loki leaned down and forced his tongue into your mouth.

It was forcefully pleasurable. You didn't want him to kiss you to begin with, but the more his lips and skilled tongue danced with your own, the more you wanted from him. His hands began to roam your still awakening body and gently teased your flesh. When he pulled away, a soft, wanting moan escaped your lips. Loki grinned at your reactions.

"I've only one day with you before-," the raven haired man stopped and looked towards the door. Before... before what? Your own anxiety made a knot form in your stomach and tightness to build in your chest. A soft knock at the door made you jump and the man that entered shortly after looked absolutely terrified, clearly aware that Loki hated being interrupted.

"I'm sorry sir, but the council requires your presence... immediately..." the poor man kept his gaze low, and quickly exited the room once the message was relayed. Loki sighed irritably and lifted your head from his lap so you were sitting straight.

"You will remain here, exactly like this, until I return." He said as he slipped his jacket on before leaving you alone in the room.
