Loki's Throne

Ch. 19

"I will not allow you to use trickery on Alex, Loki. You are my brother, but she is my Avenger. And you know damn well I will avenge her if you hurt her." Thor is stern, his voice quiet for once, which almost manages to scare me.

He lets go of me, which signifies the end of his warning.

I smirk in his face. "Then I won't use trickery."

....

~Alex's p.o.v.~

I walked around the palace, wandering, looking around. The palace was probably bigger than the Smithsonian, so I would definitely not see all of it in a day or even a week.

I let my feet take me anywhere and started to think.

What do I do about Loki? Shit, I didn't think this would happen. Is he mad that I pushed him away? I hope not... I hope I can still work for him without it being awkward.

I- I fell back after hitting something. At first, I think I've hit the wall until I hear someone saying, "My gods, ma'am, are you alright?

The person who I had walked into held out their hand. I grabbed it and pulled myself up.

"Um, I'm so sorry." I stammered a bit, then looked up at the person who helped me.

"It's okay, ma'am." The man in front of me said. He had beautiful blue eyes and I just wanted to run my hands through the blonde unruliness that was his hair. He looked like a god. He probably was a god. He smiled. "And may I ask the lady who she is?"

"Um, Alex. I'm the new guard for Loki." I said, looking down at my shoes. This man was too beautiful, I wasn't worthy of looking at him.

"Alex." He said, grabbing my wrist, causing me to look up at him. After seeing only Loki's green eyes, this dudes blue ones felt like an amazing rare find. "My name is Fandral, thanks for asking."

I blush. "I would've asked sometime."

Fandral smiled. "Are you shy, my lady?"

I shake my head. "Not usually."

Fandral looks around. "What are you doing all by yourself?"

"Oh, um, Loki gave me a break, and I decided to look around the castle." I answer.

Fandral smiles wide. "Well, I can show you around."

....

"Wait, so you're telling me you kicked Loki's ass?" Fandral laughed in disbelief.

"Had him laid out on the floor," I lied. Okay, so I exaggerated.

"I can't believe that. I've fought by his side for centuries and he's never been defeated."

"Well....I did the impossible." I chuckle and Fandral laughs.

I remove my arm from Fandral's. "I should get going."

Fandral hugs me. "Goodbye, my Lady. I'll come see you sometime."

I walk from the gardens into the castle and think about Loki again.

Ahh crap. Fandral's fucking hot. Loki is fucking gorgeous. Why am I surrounded by beautiful people?

Ah fuck. I have to sleep with Loki tonight. Please God, let him behave.

I bite my lip, then start thinking some more. He really is a great kisser. He knows how to use his lips just right...I wonder what else he could do with them. If he could just kiss me between my-
