Loki's Throne

Ch. 21

I smile and get up on my horse, watching Alex walk back to Fandral, feeling my smile fade away with every step she takes.

....

*** A few weeks later.

~Alex's p.o.v.~

Loki and I sat on the carpet in his room. It was late at night and the fire was dimming down. It was winter now, and neither Loki nor I desired to walk outside the warmth of this room, even to get more logs.

Loki sat crossed legged as I laid my head in his lap, listening to Loki as he talked. I had let him read Gone With The Wind on his own, and he almost couldn't stop talking about it.

"I mean, what's the point of Scarlett being married to Frank? She doesn't love him." Loki inquired.

I twirled my hair around my finger. "She needs money to pay for Tara. Frank happened to have money."

"And she still loves Ashley through all this?" Loki asks with a slight frown on his face.

"She still loves Ashley throughout the whole book," I answer.

Loki pouts slightly. "I don't want her to like Ashley throughout the whole book."

I stare at Loki. He had changed over the past couple of weeks. His hair had grown longer and he had been gaining just a bit more muscle from him and I training together. His green eyes had grown darker, almost as if they were hiding something. Well, with Loki being Loki, they probably were.

"What?" Loki asks smiling, running his hands through my hair.

I smile back at him. "Nothing. You're just beautiful."

He chuckles, the vibrations rocking his entire body. "Well, that makes two of us, doesn't it?"

"Shut up, vato." I say playfully, before the fire starts dying even more.

I turn to look at it and Loki turns to look down at me. "And you're sure you don't wanna get more firewood?"

I shake my head. "Its cold in the hallways at night."

Loki smiles and picks me up, seeing me down in his bed, then laying next to me. He snaps his fingers. Suddenly, two green blankets are on top of us, and it feels like the fire has come alive again.

He wraps his arms around my waist, and I can't help but cuddle into him.

He whispers against my neck, "And Fandral has no problem with you sleeping with me?"

I smile slightly at the feel of his lips. "I haven't told him, but I'm sure he knows."

Loki chuckles. "Oh, but he's gonna think you're cheating on him."

"Let him think that," I say, turning around to face Loki. "I'm not."

He smiles and buries his head into my neck, moving his lips onto my skin. "And there's no possible way I could make you?"

"Make me what?" I ask. "Cheat? I'm pretty sure there is."

Loki just smiles. "I would never be one to do that though. Fandral is an acquaintance of mine."

I could feel myself on the edge of sleep. "If you needed help, alcohol wouldn't hurt."

.....

A/N okay guys, I am SSOOO sorry. I've had my phone taken away and haven't been updating. For that, I upped the lust. I'm sorry and I beg for forgiveness.
