From red to white

Loki threw Arianna onto her bed, All Tim Low's 'Time bomb' playing from her iPod dock she'd left on this morning as she hadn't expected to be distracted.

After weeks of research on vampires, Loki had found out quite a lot about Arianna without her knowing. One of the things was the impact of blood.

"Typically the desire for blood cannot be contained, when a human is fed from, neither the drinker nor the human will be harmed. The wounds a human receives from a vampire will be healed due to the saliva and genetics in the biter. Blood isn't food to vampires as stories tell, the taste is positively divine to a vampire and can increase cravings. The taste of human blood is seductive to all vampires, and no matter your gender or age, the vampire will always be aroused.

Blood drinking is erotic for vampires, biting is erotic for both."

Naturally, Loki liked this. He wasn't sure what would happen as he certainly wasn't human, hopefully it'd be better than the blood of some mewling quim. Gently he got on top of her, a knee both side of her hips, kissing her hard so she was pressed hard against the mattress.

"Change" he demanded quietly, she knew what he meant but didn't feel comfortable doing so. "It's okay, it's just you" he whispered, kissing her neck as he sensed her hesitation.

After a few minutes of debating with herself, Arianna did as Loki requested. Her eyes were now bright red and her teeth a lot sharper.

He returned to kissing her hard, holding her waist as she held his shoulders. Purposely Loki turned his head slightly so one of her fangs wounded his bottom lip, his blood slowly trickling down towards his neck.

"Oh God Loki did that hurt? Are you…" she trailed off as the scent hit her hard, eyes snapping towards the thick red liquid travelling down, she bought her face closer to his, striking out her tongue so a tiny drop landed on it. The taste burned her tongue, not in a painful way but addictive and intriguing. Cautiously she dragged her tongue upwards, cleaning the blood that had leaked. After she'd finished he pressed his lips against hers, letting the blood flow into her mouth and down her throat, burning and tingling on its way.

Loki could feel Arianna's heartbeat against his chest; it had picked up an awful lot; he pressed harder and deepened the kiss, dominating her tongue with his. His cold hands pulled her damp vest over her head before stroking the centre of her back gently, hands travelling down and pulling her shorts off.

She was too mesmerised and distracted by his blood to notice what was going on, Loki pulled his shirt and jeans off before his hands returned to her sides, stroking gently with his thumbs, her leg hitched around his waist and her hands pulled the elastic of his boxers. The research was definitely right. Taking the hint, Loki removed her underwear then his own.

"Ready?" he asked faintly, stroking her cheekbones. She nodded in reply, kissing along his neckline. Slowly he entered her and moved his hips in a gentle motion, her hands were placed on his back and her face in his neck, moaning quietly. Arianna's fingernails dug into his back and her teeth sent a sharp shooting pain into his neck, soon covered with him being highly aroused, again his research was right.

As he quickened the pace, Arianna bit harder so there was a fast flow of blood trickling down her throat, making her moan louder. Loki arched his back as she dug her nails in further and drank from his neck, he groaned her name, sounding rough and pleasured.

After what seemed like hours, they'd both finished and had ended up lying in silence under the sheets, cuddled up to one another. Arianna's eyelashes fluttered, making Loki laugh. Reluctantly her eyes closed and she dozed off into a silent sleep.

It was around 9am when Arianna woke up, she looked up to see Loki still sound asleep, smiling she climbed out of bed and silently got ready in the bathroom, not wanting to wake him.

Today she wore thick black leggings and an Aztec patterned beige jumper as she'd noticed a huge drop in the temperature. Her hair was pulled back into a high pony.

By the time she'd finished clearing the room and getting ready it was 10:30. Slowly she drew back the curtains, expecting the sun to come blaring through, but it didn't, the room brightened but white instead of yellow. Confused, she wiped the condensation from the window to reveal everywhere was covered in thick white snow, even more pouring in large flakes from the sky.

Squealing, she dived on Loki and shook him violently "wake up! Wake up!" she kept shouting at him, he frowned and laughed, rubbing his eyes.

"What is it?"

"SNOW!" she squealed, waving her hands at the window "get up right now Loki! We need to go out!"

"Alright alright!" he laughed, walking into the bathroom, brushing his fingers through his hair.

Like a child, Arianna impatiently walked around the room after putting on a pair of furred boots, bouncing from chair to chair, wanting to go outside.

Finally Loki came out, ready and dressed. The moment he walked out she grabbed his wrist and dragged him from her room and to the other avengers.

"Morning!" Bruce smiled at them both, offering coffee.

"No time!" she flustered "you all get your butts outside right now or I'll bring the snow in here!"

Everyone laughed as they wandered around getting ready. Once they were all back together Arianna sprinted down the stairs, going faster than the elevator would of.

As she opened the door a familiar face greeted her, making her jump.

It was a face she really didn't want to recognize.
