"Are you happy my love?" Loki smiled, swinging you around as you danced.
"More so than I ever thought imaginable." You all but cried in happiness.
After a long courtship finally you were able to call Loki your husband. The realm rejoiced, elated that the second prince had settled down and chosen a wife of good standing and kind nature; not like his previous suitor, Lorelei, a conniving and scheming wench.
You had seen her earlier in the evening, glaring hatefully at you; the reason she had been able to wed into the Aesir royal family. She was nothing more than a money and status hungry harlot. If she thought there was something to be gained from entering a mans bedchambers, she was within them and undressed before you could ask her what day of the week it was. She had left not long after the meal had ended, leaving you to enjoy your evening. If Loki had noticed her at any stage, he said nothing; instead his attention was fully on you.
"I think it time you and your bride retired for the evening." Odin smiled as he danced with Frigga next to you both.
"You heard my father my darling." Loki grinned wolfishly. "Just you and me for the next few days."
"I hope you do not tire of me in that time."
"Not possible, I merely wish to tire you out."
You leant bashfully against him as it was declared you were leaving for the night. Cheers and wolf whistles resounded around the hall, the most loud and boisterous of which came from Thor and his warrior companions.
You were not entirely as innocent as you appeared; you and Loki had explored one another's bodies before, seeking and finding pleasure in each other, but only with your hands and mouths. That night would be something far greater, consummating your marriage. Bringing your bodies together as one, and even perhaps creating a new life in the process. You were both incredibly excited and absolutely petrified simultaneously.
When you got to your now shared bedchambers, your body shook with nervous excitement. It took longer than you had expected to prepare for bed as your dress was ridiculously designed and took two maids assistance to extradite yourself from it. Your hair was a similar state of affairs, more pins than hair, the maid had commented. She wasn't entirely wrong. It became a concern when you got the idea in your head that Loki was at risk of being asleep by the time you were fully undressed. Finally, you were ready, and the maids bowed and took their leave, the small smirks on their faces made it clear they knew what was ahead of you for the evening.
"You took some time my darling. I was concerned that you had gotten cold feet." Loki smiled when you finally joined him in the bedroom. Your gaze found itself looking over his handsome form. He wore only a pair of loose fitting sleep pants and a loose shirt, the top four buttons of which were open, and revealed a substantial area of his chest and sternum. "You look ravishing." He grinned. "I could just eat you up."
"And I could just tear open that shirt and nip and bite my way down that chest." You responded lustfully, your body already begging for his touch.
He held his hands out, palms skyward. "As my legal wife, you have the authority and indeed my consent to do so."
So you did, in animalistic fashion. Though you both enjoyed your actions with one another before, you were both elated that there was finally no holding back, no reining in the passion you had both been forced to control before. It began as it always had, petting, kissing and nipping, but soon it escalated into full blown amorous pleas of pleasure and ecstasy. You never truly knew pleasure until that night. All other times you had risen to your peak were nothing in comparison.
As Loki lay above you, his manhood reaching parts of you that you never knew existed, much less assumed could feel pleasure, you knew you loved him with all your being, and that you would not, and could not ever love another. A few moments after your release came to you; Loki's followed, your nails digging roughly into the skin of his toned ass as he finally ceased moving.
"That was…" You panted.
"I am unsure such pleasure is possible to reach again. I think we have set the bar incredibly high." Loki leant down and kissed you.
"I get to sleep with you tonight." You all but sang, getting comfortable in his strong arms.
"And I with you. You are never to rest anywhere but in my arms my love, is that understood?" He smiled as he pulled you onto his chest, over his heart.
Before breakfast the next morning you found yourself lying under your new husband once more, screaming his name as he caused you more immense and intense pleasure. As you felt the last few twitches of his manhood after it released his seed within you, you found yourself laughing nervously. Something Loki noticed immediately.
He placed you hair behind your ear so he could look at you properly in the eye. "What has you anxious my darling?"
"What if?"
"Yes?"
"What if I become with child?"
Loki cocked a brow slightly at the question. "Do you not wish to bear my child?" He asked, his voice neutral as he tried to mask the hurt in his eyes.
You had discussed it before the wedding, an you had declared that you were very much in favour of starting a family as soon as you had settled into married life, and now that you found yourself bonded to Loki in the most intimate of ways, you were all the more willing to have one. "No, I want it even more so now."
"Then I fear I do not understand." He was forced to admit.
"I am a little anxious as to how alright I am with the whole situation, and I am nervous with regards carrying a child."
Loki sighed in relief. "That is natural my love. I am somewhat nervous of such things also, but I am far more excited with regards it than fearful."
"I feel such too, just perhaps I did not articulate it as well." Loki wrapped his arms around you comfortingly. "I need some breakfast, I fear you have exhausted my body, dear husband."
"I will never tire of that title I would think." He grinned as he attempted to untangle himself from the tossed sheets around him.
"Good, for I would not bear it were it to be relinquished."
"That will never happen." He swore, kissing your bare shoulder as you looked around to find a robe to wear in attempts to have some modicum of humility as you ate your meal.

"Loki?"
"Yes?" He smiled, kissing your bare shoulder as you both lay in one another's arms after celebrating your first wedding anniversary, both publically and then privately in your chambers.
"I love you with all my heart, you know that, don't you?"
Loki pulled back slightly. "Yes, I do, as I love you. Why?"
"I want to prove to you how much." You stated, staring at the pillow you had been lying on.
"I do not follow."
"I want to do a Threyja bond."
"A…darling, those are severely complex, and the strongest form of magic." Loki sat up.
"I know, I have studied it for as long as I have known you. I know how to do it."
Loki was surprised by the admission. "Are you sure you wish to do it?"
You finally turned to look at him. "I am." You nodded. "As sure as I love you."
He gave a smile in return. "So tell me then, what is it that is required of me?"
It was as difficult and as complex as you had expected it to be, but you had done it. Having recently expressed you love for one another physically had assisted also, and in the end, over both your hearts, lay a symbol, a simple mark that would remain for as long as your magic kept it there. It would smart if a small indiscretion would occur, such as a lingering touch. It would be a sign of your loyalty and fidelity to one another.
You found Loki standing facing a mirror in just his sleep pants admiring the mark one morn after you had left the bath chambers. "Do you regret it my dear?" You asked, placing your arms around his lithe waist.
"Not for one instant." He grinned wolfishly at you in the mirror before turning and grabbing you, bringing you back to your bed to show you just how much he loved you.
As though aided by the marking, you very soon noticed slight changes to yourself. One morning as you were preparing to dress for the day, you noted your breasts to be quite tender. Frowning, you gently held them, they also seemed slight bigger.
"Darling, not that I am not enjoying watching you, but what in Valhalla's name are you doing?" Loki half laughed as he watched you.
You turned to face him, your still bare breasts in your hands. "I think they are slightly different." You stated.
He walked over. "I shall be the judge of that. I think I am somewhat an expert of them by now." He winked, taking them in his hands. "They are slightly bigger, and heavier it would seem. And if I am not mistaken, the peaks." He stroked his thumbs over the nipples, causing you to gasp with their tender state. "Are slightly darker."
"What does that mean?" You asked, slightly fearful.
"Well I think you will find my dear innocent little wife, that you are in need of seeing Eir."
"Why?" You looked at him in concern. "Loki, why do I need to see her?"
"Because my love, I think your body is altering in such a manner so that you will be able to feed my child growing within you."
"Your…Really?" You dared not to hope.
"I think so, yes." He smiled happily, taking your chin with his index finger and tilting your head up to kiss you gently. "I thought it would never be possible to love you any more, how wrong I was."
Sure enough, Eir confirmed you were a few weeks along. Soon you would feel nauseous and tired, and soon after your belly would swell to accommodate the growing infant within.
Loki smothered you with affection as soon as you were in the privacy of your own rooms once more.
"Loki." You giggled as his hair slid along your neck while he peppered your throat and jaw with kisses.
"I cannot help myself my dear. A child, our child." His voice giving away his excitement. "I cannot wait to meet it. To see our son or daughter in our arms. To see you feeding them from these glorious breasts." He cupped them in his hands as he spoke of them.
"You had better cease teasing me husband because if you continue any longer you will be forced to finish what you started. My body yearns for such things at present and your actions are in no way helpful." You gasped fisting his onyx coloured hair as his lips made their way down your neck and his hands pulled up the skirt of your dress, revealing you legs all the way to your aching core.
"Well that will not do now will it?" He smirked.

The realm celebrated your news with joyous cheers and delight when it was finally announced. Thor, who had taken over as King, decided such an occasion merited a feast in its honour, which, unsurprisingly was also met with cheers. Rubbing your already well rounded stomach, which had been well hidden under well designed dresses for several weeks, you gave a shy smile as the room cheered your imminent arrival.
"How did you hide it so long? I would have thought you would have been singing it from the rooftop of the palace long before now." Sif laughed as she sat beside you at the feast.
"I think you are forgetting that I told you the day I found out myself." You laughed.
"Yes, but to hide it from the realm for so long. If my time comes, I do not think I shall be as tight lipped."
"Well then I shall see it as a true testament to our friendship that you remained silent on my behalf then, shall I?"
"I think you should." Sif squeezed your hand tightly. "I am so happy for you, you deserve such happiness."
"You can thank Loki for that." You smiled in return. "He is the most loving man I have ever had the good fortune to meet. That is not something one could ever have imagined saying when he was younger, is it?"
"No." Sif frowned, looking to Loki, who was smiling proudly as one of the Lords of court were congratulating him on the announcement of his child. "It is sometimes hard to believe. Though Loki never seemed to be a philanderer with regards to women, it was always that he was seen as too great a prankster."
"He has not lost not that streak entirely, I think it safe to say." You smiled and waved as Loki and the Lord saluted you. You tried to stifle a yawn. "I find myself far too tired for my own good of late."
"I hear carrying a child does that to you." Sif sympathised. "It is late enough for none to take offense, I saw your beloved in-laws retire earlier." Go rest, no doubt Loki will return to your chambers soon after he realises you are gone."
"Normally I would wait but with the child being over half way to being born, I think I have endured all I can for one evening. Goodnight Sif."
"And a good night to you, sleep well." You gave her a look. "Or as well as one can with a child bloating out your midriff."
Tired you slowly made you way to Loki, informing him you were retiring for the night. With assurances that he would follow shortly and a loving kiss to your temple, you went to your chambers and fell asleep quickly, holding the pillow that Loki rested on to your nose so to smell him as you slept.
Loki said his goodbyes to the Lord before deciding to head towards the bed chambers. The hallway was deserted as he made his way to the palaces private quarters.
"Well well, who would have thought, the scoundrel Loki, all settled down, a family man." Lorelei sang tauntingly as she stepped out from behind a pillar.
"And pray tell what concern is it of yours?" Loki raised a brow. "Have you ran out of men to bed, so you are trying to make your way back around again?"
"I wonder what your wife would say if she were to know of what deeds you had done with me before she lay with you in her marriage bed." She grinned slyly.
"Lorelei." Loki warned.
"Oh I will not say anything, I have little doubt she would nearly birth the brat early with shock if I was to tell her of how you used to slam into me from behind where none other seemed to want to go." Lorelei grunted as Loki pushed her against the pillar she had walked out from behind. "Tell me." She grinned wickedly. "Have you ever taken her in the way you have taken me? I bet she is too prude for that. Do you miss it? Do you miss the feeling of my ass constricting around you as you pound into me?"
Loki was hardly able to keep the sound from escaping his throat as he thought back to how good it had felt when he used to bed her. Of late the growing child had caused you not to feel so amorous, meaning his body reacted quickly to the harlot's words. He was about to tell her to get lost when he heard voices coming toward them. His eyes widened as Thor's booming laugh and Sif's voice told him who was coming. If either saw him with Lorelei of all women, there would not be a way to explain away his deep breathing and raging erection. Using his seidr he teleported himself and the temptress to another part of the palace he knew none would be.
He cursed it when he realised he teleported them to the rooms you had stayed in before your wedding. Lorelei took it to mean something else entirely and pulled the strings of her dress, causing it to open and fall from her shoulders.
"I know you remember how good it felt Loki. One more romp won't harm anyone, will it?" She glanced seductively over her shoulder as the dress fell off her hips and to the floor, revealing her bare ass to him, swaying it side to side to tempt him. Not taking any time to consider his actions and he possible consequences, Loki locked the doors with his seidr and cast a spell that even if someone were to come in, they would see an empty room and would not hear anything within it. He then walked to the woman smiling coyly at him, biting the fleshy area of her rounded ass cheek before untying his pants.
You woke to a burning sensation in your chest. It was as though someone has splashed scalding water onto you. Hissing in pain, you turned to ask Loki to call upon Eir, but the bed was empty beside you.
