A New York Secret

Chapter Twenty Five

Loki woke up mid morning the following day. Feeling content, he laid in bed for a while, then finally got up to shower. His leg was stiff, but he managed to fully get himself into the shower this time.

The sound of the shower woke Emily, making her roll and face the closed bathroom door. That's tempting.

A few minutes later, Loki walked out of the bathroom with only a towel around his waist. "Sorry if I woke you darling."

"I'm not," she replied with a smirk as she watched a drop of water as it traveled down his stomach to be caught by the towel.

"Like what you see?" Loki chuckled.

"Yes I do," Emily told him as she sat up and bit her lip.

"Do you want to explore again tonight?" Loki asked with a little smirk as he slowly walked up to her.

Emily grinned as she put her hands on his hips and caressed along his sides. "I could be tempted."

"Oh? And what must I do to tempt you?" Loki asked, a smirk on his face.

"It wouldn't be that hard," she replied, then placed a gentle kiss to his lower abdomen, making Loki moan softly.

"Who is tempting who?" He teased.

"You're tempting by just standing here," Emily answered with a smirk, then boldly trailed her tongue downward from his belly button until she reached the towel.

Loki gave another moan, slightly louder than the last and felt his arousal push against the towel. "But I don't have my mouth all over you." He chuckled. I wouldn't mind changing that though... he was starting to think when he heard his brother drop something in the kitchen. "Why must he be awake?"

Emily chuckled and stood before she wrapped her arms around his neck. "He must be hungry. Do you want me to cook for us this morning?"

"If there is nothing to heat up, you can if you want." Loki said, only just now realizing he was hungry as well.

"Sounds like a plan then." She leaned up and pecked his lips. "Get dressed sweetheart, then we'll greet Thor."

"Yes dear." He chuckled. After one last quick peck to her lips, he walked over to the closet and took out a pair of sweats and a plain t-shirt. "Would you mind helping me with the pants?"

"Sure. How are you feeling today?" Emily asked as she sat on the edge of the bed.

"Overall, I'm feeling decently well. Getting my leg into the shower on my own turned into more of a strain than I expected though." Loki explained. He carried the clothes over and sat next to her.

"It's getting easier for you though, which is good." Emily moved to stand in front of him with a smile.

"It is. Normally, I wouldn't have been able to get fully into the shower at all." He handed her the sweats. "It is nice to be on the mend."

Emily knelt down and held out the sweats for him to put his legs into. "I'm happy you're doing better. Going commando today?" She asked coyly.

"Yes, the underwear here on Midgard are very restricting and uncomfortable." Loki answered. It took him a minute to get his injured leg into the sweats, but he was able to quickly dress after that.

"I can get you some boxer shorts. Those will be less confining," Emily suggested as she stood.

"Yes please. Can't damage my best feature." Loki chuckled. When he stood, he let the towel fall before pulling his sweats up. Then, he pulled on the shirt. "I'm ready now."
