Surprise Encounter

Part 1 of 2

Your day starts out as normal as any other. You wake, shower, dress, and even manage to get into work without being late, and now, as the typical sleazy patrons start to pool into the establishment, you ready your trusty notepad and tie your apron tightly around your waist.

It's not glamorous work but it pays well. Working as a waitress/busser at a local stripjoint in the heart of Manhattan you can pay off your debts and manage to save up a fair bit too; the only trick is that you have to deal with a lot of entitled men who assume that waving money in the face of their targets means they can win over even the most stubborn of girls to sit on their laps. And honestly, sometimes it is just easier to smile and bear it until the bouncer makes his move to intervene.

By one a.m. the place is musky and crowded as the bass drums over the hoots and hollers for the club's favorite performers. Drinks are flowing, tips are fair, but what really makes the night interesting is when your manager sends you to work the V.I.P. lounge—and that's when you see them.

Thor, the God of Thunder himself, and (much to your surprise) his brother Loki, the God of Mischief. Stepping into the private room made of acrylic glass and simple framing, your ears are grateful for the reprieve from the thumping of the bass. The room is simply furnished with a set of elegant leather loungers, a center stage and a bar to the side.

The two gods break from their back and forth to eye you up and down before simply continuing on as if you aren't there, which suits you just fine since your nerves are on high alert after recognizing them. Thor is dressed fairly casually in a jean jacket while Loki wears a well-tailored black on black suit.

As you make your way to the small side bar to ready your drink procuring kit, two girls enter from another door and begin to shmooze and flirt with the guys. A slight smirk graces your lips as you notice how each girl moves about seemingly oblivious as to whom they are dealing with while the two men seem to be enjoying the anonymity.

After a few minutes pass, one of the girls starts to dance for them, while the other manages to sandwich herself between the two men. She has always been the more touchy of the two.

"May I interest you in a refreshment?" you ask simply as you round the bar to stand behind them while they watch, bending down just enough that your voice will carry to their ears easily over the music. Thor's eyes are glued to the woman in front of him while Loki simply holds a unamused expression while shifting his sideways glance from the woman beside him to you.

"A beer for my brother and a sazerac for myself." His gaze already returned to the dancer in front of him before he even finishes his words. Such a unique order causes you to raise an eyebrow in surprise. He likely assumes you would need to go and look it up and this brings a new smirk to perk your lips as you decide to get a little playful with your response.

"Will that be with cognac or whisky—Your Majesty?"

As if a record scratched, the entire room freezes. The girl between them stiffens and the one dancing stumbles in her step before resuming her dance and shooting you an unsteady glare. Thor looks to you utterly amused and starts to laugh before glancing forward again, while Loki slowly turns his head to face you. His emerald eyes dance with delight.

"You are a cheeky one, aren't you? Cognac, if you please." The devilish look he takes on warns you that you have managed to surprise him and you aren't quite sure whether that is a good thing or not as you quickly nod and make your way back to the bar to mix the drinks.

Hours pass as the dancers change, food and drink is enjoyed, and you work away silently while sneaking glances toward the handsome gods before you. Thor has downed a number of beers while Loki seems to take his time and enjoy each and every drink you make him. He seems to savor the slow burn, much to the contrary of his brother, and you find yourself drawn to him as he slowly begins to relax and enjoy himself. The pair of them are truly a sight to behold.

As the clock strikes three you pack your kit up and begin to take your leave when you notice Loki watching you expectantly with a look that can only be described as hunger. A blush rushes across your face as you turn to face them, deciding it best to bid them goodbye.

"I apologize gents, but my time is up. I hope you enjoy your last dance and thank you for being such wonderful guests." You bow your head slightly to hide your flushed cheeks before spinning around to exit the room.

As you enter the hall that brings you past the restrooms and into the 'back of house' you are suddenly caught off guard by a gentle yet firm grip on your arm that quickly moves you to place your back against the wall. A slight gasp is all you can get out before looking into the pair of vibrant emerald eyes framed by porcelain skin and ebony hair.

"Join us," the God of Mischief says in a hushed tone before taking his free hand to gently catch your chin within the crook of his bent finger. "I promise you won't regret it."

Had it been any other person in this moment you would have screamed for the bouncer, but for some reason as your eyes lock with his you suddenly feel as though doing his bidding would be the best thing ever to happen in your humdrum life. He is positively mesmerizing and is drawing you in like a moth to the flame.

Entering a penthouse suite behind the two gods, you find yourself suddenly surrounded by opulence. The entire place is outfitted with black and white furniture along with accents of chrome paired with lush grey throws and a plush evergreen rug. Just what has come over you, you don't know but the rush you feel as Loki glances back at you and whispers something to Thor causes a pleasant shiver to dance up your spine.

Thor steps away to another room, glancing over to you with a relaxed yet confident smile as he passes, while Loki removes his suit jacket and seems to magically procure a set of full wine glasses from thin air as music began to play from somewhere within the suite. His eyes are locked on yours the whole time.

"Make yourself comfortable," he purrs as he steps forward, handing you one of the two glasses.

"Thanks," you say as you take the glass and brush your hair over one shoulder and look to the side shyly before taking a sip. Notes of blackberry and plum tickle your tongue as the heady aroma fills your senses.

An amused 'hmm' pulls your eyes back to his and you notice he is even closer, with his hand outreached. As he gently glides the back of his fingers down your face, you can't help but lean into his cool yet pleasant touch, and you relish the feeling as he cups your chin and tilts your face up to meet his.

As his lips brush over your own you are surprised by how delicate they feel, and when his tongue traces your bottom lip, you do not hesitate to allow him entrance. The merlot mixes with his unique flavor and your own as his tongue coaxes yours into a dance that quickly becomes more rapid and wild, and when he suddenly pulls away to leave you in a blushing stupor he chuckles and makes his way to the sitting area.

Your lips tingle as you watch him sit and you follow when he motions for you to join him. "I take it you are pure?" he says with clear amusement, sending another flush of heat to your cheeks as you hesitate to answer.

"No…I am not... Is that a problem?"

His expression shifts from collected to bewildered surprise. "Such innocence and yet, not. How interesting," he muses with a lilt of delight as he takes a sip and looks towards the room Thor has exited to.

"I suppose it is all an act then. But know this: this is your last chance to change your mind. Once we begin I have no intention of stopping. Do you understand?"

Oh, you understand full well what you are getting yourself into. A small but eager smile grows on your lips and the god before you gives you a look dripping with dark promise.
