Mischief + Evil = A love masterpiece

Chapter 14: Up to no good

Four months later....

Jade's POV:

"Oh look at you, my little child." Loki tickled the little new born in my arms. "You look just like you mother."

"Well of course, I gave him the vampire gene. The more 'good looking' gene." I smirked.

"Hey, Holt here has my good looking genes too." Loki pouted. We had named our beautiful offspring Holtstan 'Holt' Lokison. 

"Aww did I hurt your pride, my love?" I snickered lightly. Loki playfully smacked my butt. "Hey," I gave him a disapproving look. "Not if front of our child." I whispered.

"It's okay." Loki grinned. Obviously one day Holt was going to become just like him. A playboy of sorts. 

"Hey, I'm not a playboy. Of sorts. What does that even mean?" Loki read my thoughts.

"A man who goes around flirting with people they see." I laughed as Loki gave me a weird look.

"I do not." Loki pouted.

"Yes you do. How many wives did you have before me?"

"I-" Loki stuttered.

"Ten?! Oh my goodness. Ten?!" I almost yelled, shocked as I read his mind. Holt wailed in my arms.

"I....I....erm, I, I guess so...." Loki looked down on the ground, not wanting to make eye contact with me.

"Loki Laufeyson, look into my eyes, and tell me the truth!" I yelled. Holt's wails filled the tensed air. I rocked Holt to sleep harder.

"I had...I had...ten wives," Loki sighed, knowing that he was in deep trouble.

"You had better have a good reason as to why you married me." I huffed, trying to calm myself dwn.

"I, I married the others so that I could gain favour from the other Gods. By becoming their son-in-laws, I could get whatever I wanted, through their daughter." Loki hung his head down in shame.

"And then?" I demanded.

"I really love you, I do. You are the first woman that I have wholeheartedly given my heart to." Loki gazed at me, trying to pull at my emotional strings.

"Is this true?" I tried to read his minds to make sure he wasn't lying. "Or is this the work of your silver tongue?"

"No, I swear, I love you truely. Have I ever faltered in my confessions of my love for you?" Loki placed his hands on my cheeks.

"No, but-" Loki cut me off, pressing his cold lips against mine.

"Then why do you still question my love for you?" Loki gained control over the situation.

"I don't know, I just," I sighed. "My heart feels that yours has become increasingly distant." I looked at Holt sleeping peacefully in my arms. "You don't even have dinner with me these days."

"I know, my dear." Loki swept a stray hair out of my face. "I am busy. But I will make time for you, always. These meetings..."

"With Enchantress." I cut him off, reading the name in his thoughts. A fire sparked inside of me, a contagious fire breaking out.

"I'm sorry, my love. I shouldn't keep it from you."

"You still go and look for her?!" I looked away, gritting my teeth. 

"My dear, it's just for-"

"What? Work?" I sighed. "Lies." 

"No! I do not lie to the ones I love!"
