The Merger

Engagement Party

"Sam! How goes it?" Steve greeted his friend and introduced you.

"A pleasure." Sam kisses your hand and you returned with a knowing wink. You had met with Samuel the previous night to ask him for his discretion, you offered funding and loyalty but he rejected it, saying it was the right thing to do.

Tonight there was another banquet being held to welcome all the late comers - all the VIPs really. Sir Samuel, Dame Natasha, Lord Banner, Sir Peter, Lady Wanda, Lord Clinton and of course Prince Thor and Loki of Asgard. The only Viking clan to actually be civil with your kingdom.

"A pleasure to see you again Princess," Thor's lips lingered on your fingers as he gave you a flirty smirk.

Steve coughed to clear his throat to stop the eye fuck fest going on between you and Thor. He was well aware of the Asgardian's reputation with women and thought it was inappropriate to make a move on you.

"Congratulations to the two of you. You are one lucky man," Thor's death grip was no feat for Steve. He wasn't about to be shown up by a Viking.

"Thank you for coming. It means a lot to both of our families."

"Ah yes. You're to be taking the Stark name no? No more Rogers clan with a seat at the high table." Thor was pressing his buttons.

"I assure you. We will be just fine." Steve spoke quickly hopeful to get this asgardian out of there.

"Loki. So good to have you here," you pecked your old friend on both of his cheeks. Steve swallowed the egg in his throat, not yet knowing that his jealousy for you grows every day.

Bucky was the same, standing behind the two of you. He tensed his jaw and cracked his neck or knuckles every time Thor and Loki's eyes wandered over you.

"So tell me," Steve spoke through gritted teeth at the dinner, "Thor or Loki."

"I don't know what you mean, darling." You sipped at your drink.

"Which one of them? I'm curious. Not jealous. I've fucked Natasha 3 times in the last year. She's now on my no contact list."

"It kind of sounds like you're bragging about something that no one cares about."
The reply made Bucky choke on his chicken a little.

"Just be honest," Steve leaned in closer, genuinely interested. He played with the fabric on your knee, making you uncomfortable at the familiar touch.

It was weird that it wasn't weird.

"Which one?" His steel blues poured into yours. He really needed to know. That or he needs proof that you've broken your holy vows and therefore can be cast aside like a common street whore.

"The Asgardians do things differently up there," your tone changed. It was quiet so you spoke lowly in his ear.

Steve frowned slightly. You're not suggesting that you lost your virginity to both brothers were you?

"Loki was such a gentle young man. Always playing with butterflies and reading in the garden. I had the biggest crush on him but once Thor caught my attention I just couldn't pull away. He kissed me under an apple tree near the rainbow bridge. Brilliant first kiss," your tone changed back to normal as Steve returned to his seat fully.

"How do the asgardians do things differently then?"

"Thor asked if I wanted to be his wife when I was older. I rejected him as I did with Loki. They respected that wish and we remain greatly acquainted today," you smiled sweetly and waved to the Princes. "All you did was fuck Natasha and now look at her," you both turned your heads, "I'd be surprised if she didn't assassinate me tonight with those red eyes."
