Loki's Throne

Ch. 16

Alex smirks. "Jerk."

"Bitch." I retort.

I slowly start to fall asleep, but right on the verge of unconsciousness, I realize Alex is curled up in my arms, sound asleep.

....

I open my eyes and look down at Alex's face. Her hair is everywhere and her lips are slightly parted. Odin help me before I kiss her.

I need to get out of bed, but Alex is wrapped around me, and I realize that my arms are wrapped around her waist. Her face is tucked in the curve between my neck and shoulder and one hand is on my chest, the other wrapped around me. Our legs are entangled together.

I smile. Why can't I hold her like this all the time?

"Mmh, Loki." she moans and I look down at her. She blinks her eyes open and rubs them to clean them. She then looks at me. "Loki." she repeats.

"Yes, darling?" I ask. Alex lays her head on my chest.

"What time is it?" she mumbles.

"Time to wake up." I say. She groans.

"No, I wanna sleep."

Well, I only wanna give the girl what she wants. "Okay, darling, go to sleep."

Alex closes her eyes and mutters, "You too, Loki."

I comply with her, closing my eyes, focusing on the feel of her hand rubbing my chest.

....

"Alex," I soothe, running my hands through her hair. She lays her head on my chest still, but I lay on my back, with the Avenger on top of me.

"Alex, wake up." I say a bit more loudly. She keeps softly snoring. I shake my head. I can't even move my arms or legs, they're trapped under her body.

"Alex, get the fuck off of me!" I yell sternly.

Alex shakes her head, waking herself up, then looks down at me. She smiles. "Damn, even in sleep, I dominate you."

I smirk. "You insufferable Avenger, you don't dominate me. You're supposed to be the submissive one here."

"Oh? I don't remember getting that memo. But I do remember when I told you to kneel. And, if my memory is right, you did." She pressed my wrists into the bed with her hands, dominating me.

I growl. "I only did because you wouldn't let me move into any other position."

She laughs. "You mean, you only kneeled because you're my bitch."

I scowl at her, and Alex laughs. "How dare you? I am a god and you are beneath me, you mewling-"

"Now, Loki, don't be rude. Natasha taught me what that word means."

I frown at her and Alex looks down at me. She smiles for a second, and I enter into her thoughts.

Aw, look at him. He looks so cute when he's pouting. I just wanna pinch his cheeks and kiss him.

I smile at her thoughts. Should I really be listening in to her head? No. But it's so entertaining.

"Quim." I finish, smirking.

Did he just- "Loki!" Alex yells, slapping my shoulder playfully. I chuckle.

Ugh, I can't do this anymore. It'd be unprofessional to sleep with the guy you're protecting. I've only known him for four days. I probably should get out of his bed...
