Fear

What happened?

The days went on and everything was just perfect in your eyes. To your delight, Jele stayed and, not as much to your delight, so did Aliyah. You managed to avoid her using the many hidden stairwells of the castle, but you couldn't escape her during dinners, which she spent sitting as close to Loki as possible. That meant she was often next to you, talking past you to gain Loki's attention. On the third day after the ball most of the guests had left, the exception being Aliyah and her brother. They claimed to have business with the king and queen, but both you and Loki knew they were only there because Aliyah wanted Loki.

You were walking through the library corridor with Jele when you heard shouting. The library doors flew open and Loki stumbled out, followed by Thor. They collapsed in a pile on the floor and laughed themselves senseless. Jele gave you a look as if to say "what in the devils name are they doing?" and you shrugged with a smile.

The princes got up and brushed the dust off their clothes, and not until then did they notice you and Jele. They looked at each other and laughed again.

"Really, what are you doing?" you asked. Large smiles spread on both of their faces and they shook their heads.

"We had no idea they were trying new dresses on..." Thor muttered and Loki smirked and continued,

"How could we know when nobody informed us? We just wanted to read in peace..."

You rolled your eyes while Jele laughed.

'Really, men...'

"Had fun?" Loki asked and kissed you. You hummed a yes while jealous eyes belonging to Thor and Jele burned into your neck; Loki loved to show you off like a trophy in front of his brother and Jele.

"Uh oh..." Thor muttered and looked over your shoulder. You turned around to find Aliyah walking towards you. Thor and Loki, being princes with responsibilities, greeted her with fake smiles on their faces while Jele stared at her with wide eyes and you ignored her completely. She walked past you and into the library.

When the library doors swung closed behind Aliyah, Thor teased Jele for staring at her body, but you didn't see that because Loki had pulled you into his embrace and was kissing you hungrily. His hands were on your waist, keeping you close, and his lips on yours. You held back a moan when his hands traveled around your body to your butt and he smirked into the kiss.

Thor cleared his throat and you broke the kiss to look at him. He rolled his eyes and you smiled, but didn't step out of Loki's embrace; his hands felt way too good.

"I was thinking dinner, but obviously my dear brother has other plans," Thor said and Jele chuckled. You rolled your eyes and mouthed "later" to Loki before taking a step backwards.

"I saw that!" Thor exclaimed and you all laughed.

You did have dinner after all, but you and Loki spent the entire time flirting. You barely paid attention to what you ate. You absently hung on to the conversation around you while eating, and as soon as you were finished Loki announced that he was to retire to bed after a long day. You snuck out with him while the others laughed. Outside, Loki pushed you up against the wall and kissed you. He pressed his body against yours and you felt his arousal through his trousers.

"Damn I want you, woman." Loki whispered and pulled you with him by your hand. When you finally reached Loki's quarters, you were overwhelmed by need. His whisper had made you shiver with lust.

Loki shut the door behind you and pulled you into a deep kiss. He stooped down and pulled your dress up over your head, completely ignoring the lacing in the back, but when he reached to pull his shirt off you smirked and pushed him down on the bed. He lay still with raised eyebrows as you straddled him and caressed his sides. You bent down and kissed him gently and then trailed kisses down his neck and at last nibbling his tender skin. He moaned and shifted underneath you, but you used your full body weight and kept him down. You kissed his cheek and then returned to his lips and he smiled when he saw your smirk before you kissed him hungrily. You sat up again and held back a whimper when you felt his hard arousal. You pulled his shirt up and he lifted his head and shoulders off the bed to help you get it off. You threw it to the floor and let your hands run free on his toned chest. You traced the lines of every muscle and scar there was and the thought of how lucky you were to have Loki crossed your mind. You smiled and kissed him again while slowly rolling your hips, eliciting a few moans from the man beneath you. With a devilish smirk you trailed kisses down his neck again, but instead of stopping you continued down past his collarbone and along his lean body down to the lining of his trousers. You nibbled lightly at his skin and he moaned.
