"Loki, Diane…" Odin looked at the both of you, "Today marks the start of the celebrations of your engagement. Tonight there will be a banquet in both your honours." Odin turned his attention to Loki, "I expect you to go over everything Princes Diane will need to know about tonight."
Loki scowled at his father, eyes piercing at him. "Of course father, would you really believe I would let my lady go through this without understanding correct protocol." Loki composed himself and turned his attention to Diane. "We will go through everything this morning." Diane could feel Loki's body language turn cold to her. Here we go again, every time.
"Mother, Father…Sorry I'm late." Thor's voiced echoed through the hall. "My apologies." Thor takes his seat next to Diane. "Looking lovely as ever lady Diane." Thor smiles to Diane.
"Yes, well you will have to admire Diane from afar as we were just leaving." Loki stands up and offers his hand to Diane. "Come on my lady, no time to waste." Diane could sense the impatient in his voice and could tell he was angry at something. She reached for his hand and said her goodbyes whilst being led out by Loki. They walked in awkward silence until they reached the gardens. Diane could sense the anger that was building up inside Loki.
"Loki, I'm sorry about this. I know that this must be frustrating for you." Diane looked to the floor, her body language awkward. "But please remember this was not my idea either." She shuffled her gaze to Loki's face – looking him in the eyes. "I am sorry if this marriage is inconveniencing you."
Loki kept Diane's gaze, seeing pure sincerity in her face. "But please do not take this out on me." Loki looked at her in disbelief, but quickly was able to put on his poker face. He regathered his thoughts.
"Nonsense my lady, I did not mean to take anything out on you. I guess I am just tense over tonight's festivities." Loki said whilst looking off into the distance. Diane gave his arm a slight squeeze to show him some comfort.
"Loki, do you remember when we were younger and during these banquets we would run off and hide in your chambers." Diane smiled warmly at the memory, "I think the last time we did that Frigga walked in you were levitating me around the room." Diane giggled at the memory.
"If I remember correctly my lady, you dared me to do it. Which ended up getting me into rather a lot of trouble with mother." Loki grinned down to Diane. She returned his gaze,
"Well I would hate to get you into further trouble, we all know how easily you manage to get yourself into trouble in the first place…. I guess we will have to make sure that the God of mischief behaves himself." Diane winks at Loki, then turns her gaze forward.
Loki spent the morning going over what was needed for tonight. They spent time between going over fond memories of their childhood. He watched Diane getting tired in the sun, "Come Diane, lets return you to your chambers where you can get some rest before tonight." Loki stood and offered her his hand. Diane took it and they walked hand in hand as he escorted her to his chambers.
This is perfect. Just in time for tonight. I can get into her head Loki grinned to himself.
"Since this is the start of the celebrations of our union, I have bought some dresses to wear in your colours if you don't mind me wearing them." Diane interrupted his thoughts. "I thought it would be a good idea to show everyone that we are being united and where my loyalties lie…so to speak." They were outside her chambers, Diane moved in front of Loki. "I have been told this is the way in Asgard." Loki could feel his body tense up. He knew exactly where he would take her to in her dreams. He knew exactly what he could say to influence her. Loki eyed her up and down – imagining what she would look like in his colours.
"Very well my lady, this pleases me." Loki moved closer to Diane, "Now get some rest. You will need to save your energy for later." He then pulls away from Diane and walks off to go into his chambers. Diane stood there for a few seconds. She shook her head and went into her chambers. She wasn't even feeling that tired until Loki had mentioned it. She guessed that he must know her better than she knows herself sometimes. Diane laid down onto her bed and soon enough her eyes shut. She started dreaming of her encounter with Loki.
"I have been told this is the way in Asgard." I said to Loki, feeling his body tense up. Loki's gaze was looking at me intently and then he smiled. "Yes, this is to show Asgard who you belong to." I could see the lust in his eyes, "Who do you belong to my lady?" I could feel a flicker of desire. His body pressed against mine, pushing me into the wall outside my chambers.
"You my prince." I said to him, pulling his body closer to me. I could feel his breath on my skin.
"Prove it little one." Whispering it in my ear. I let out a slight moan and grabbed his face and kissed him. He opened his mouth and I rushed to get my tongue in, I needed to explore him. I could feel him pull my hips closer to him, pushing his groin into me. I let a moan slip out. I could feel him smile on my lips. Next thing I knew my hands were pinned up above me against the wall.
"Tell me Diane, who do you serve?" He asked kissing and biting my neck,
I groaned, "Loki." I could feel his spare hand start to wander down my body…Just as he was about to reach my breasts…
Diane shot up from her sleep. She was sweaty and flustered. She could still feel that surge of desire for Loki. It was just a dream she told herself. Nothing but a dream. She couldn't work out where this sudden desire was coming from. She wanted to please him, and she hoped that the dress she wore tonight would make a start. Diane ran her fingers through her hair. "Snap out of it Diane, it's just your imagination."
