Loki held his hand out to her, and let hers daintily alight upon it. Jane offered him a gorgeous smile, which he eagerly returned. Together they faced the Spiritual Leader at the foot of the throne. He held his hands aloft, "We are gathered today, to witness the union of Prince Loki, and Lady Jane." He looked directly at them now, "Join your free hands together." They did so, "Now they form a circle. Together they are complete, together they are one. May you support each other in hard times, and praise one another in the good." He pulled a long white ribbon from his sleeve and held it up for all to see, "White, for the purity of your love." He wrapped it around their joined wrists, tugging on it to keep it tight, "Wrapped around your wrists, to show the strength of your bond, and your conviction."
He looked up at Jane as he started to run out of ribbon, "Do you, Lady Jane of Midgard, solemnly swear to love and honor your husband, through good times and bad, to be honest with him, and bring into this world his children while you are able?"
"I solemnly swear." Jane said, loud enough for all to hear.
Now the he turned to Loki. "Do you, Loki of Asgard, solemnly swear to love and honor your wife, through good times and bad, to be honest with her, and share all that you have with her?"
"I solemnly swear." Loki proclaimed.
The Spiritual Leader tied the knot in the ribbon, binding Jane and Loki together, raising his arms once more, "I now pronounce you husband and wife." The beaming couple turned to face the citizens of Asgard, and held their joined hands aloft, bombarded by the cheers that burst from a thousand throats.
They turned around again to face the Spiritual Leader. Two religious servants came up, one bearing Loki's helm, the other, a pillow with a circlet of gold upon it. The Spiritual Leader picked up Loki's helm first, murmuring blessings over it as Loki and Jane kneeled, before setting the helm upon Loki's brow. The Spiritual Leader then picked up the circlet. It was several strands of gold twisted and knotted together, to meet in the center in an elegant knot with a diamond in the center. The Spiritual Leader murmured blessings over the circlet too, before laying it gently on Jane's hair. "May you both rule with wisdom, compassion, and mercy."
Jane and Loki stood, walking to the Throne where Loki stood, with his young bride and queen beside him. They raised their arms together again, "I give you King Loki, and Queen Jane." The immense crowd of Asgardians once again bombarded the couple with their cheers, this time doubly enthusiastic.
Loki lowered Jane's arm, kissing her hand, "And we shall rule together. Always and forever. I promise."
Jane bit her lower lip attractively and smiled at him, then faced the crowd once more. 'Oh my God. I just went from a scientist to a queen in less than three days.'
After their ceremony, came the feast. Jane and Loki helped each other to eat, her right hand was still tied to his left hand. Thor came to the happy couple, with Lady Sif on his arm, "I congratulate you brother, and Lady Jane." He bowed his head respectfully.
Lady Sif also congratulated the pair, bowing as well. Loki and Jane thanked them, nodding their heads in a respectful reply.
After a few hours, Loki and Jane excused themselves, and bid all of Asgard goodnight. Guards escorted them to Loki's chambers, and then left the newlywed couple to themselves.
Alone at last, Loki picked up his wife and carried her to the bedroom. Jane giggled and held on and kissed his cheek. He set her down, backing her up against the bedpost. He kissed her lips softly, one hand resting on her hip, the other taking a pin from her hair. Jane smiled against his mouth, and helped him pull all the pins out until her hair tumbled freely down her back. He pushed her hair over one shoulder, giving him a clear path to one side of her neck. Jane moaned and tilted her head back, allowing him better access. His breath came heavy as did hers. She grasped his jacket, and slid it off his arms. He shed his adorning gold plates as well.
Loki worked his way back to Jane's mouth, as her fingers began unlacing his tunic. She helped him take his shirt off, which she tossed aside casually. Loki wrapped his hands in the silks of her dress, slowly working the dress upward until he pulled the whole garment over his wife's head. Jane let her arms fall down around Loki's waist, untying his breeches. She grinned, slipping them down, kissing him from sternum to waistline, as she slowly pulled down his pants, exposing his hard cock. Jane looked up at him, as sly as a fox, and licked him all the way up his member, from base to tip, swirling her tongue on his tip. He gasped, twitching slightly, as she sucked gently.
Finally, Loki couldn't take it anymore. He pulled Jane up, moving her to the bed where he stripped her of her underwear, exposing her beautiful body to him. He laid her out on the silk sheets, kissing her from head to toe. Each loving kiss only increased their arousal more, until finally Loki couldn't take it anymore. He laid himself over Jane, pressing his tip against her wet folds. He groaned, pressing himself deeper and deeper as Jane let out a long moan. She wrapped her legs around his waist, loving the intimacy of their wedding night. The way Loki was slowly thrusting into her, letting them feel the connection of their bodies. He kissed and sucked on her round breasts, working his way up her body toward her delicious mouth. Jane began to kiss his neck and chest until he started to pick up the pace.
He started moving faster and faster. Jane's hands made their way from his chest, to his thick hair, to his back. The harder and faster he went into her, the harder she dug her nails into his back, scoring him from shoulders to ribs with red stripes where she clawed at him, her body aching for release.
Her body began to weaken as she came, and Loki still thrust into her, his abdomen clenching. Finally, Loki gasped, his lean body tensing up as he came, his seed filling her up. Jane threw her head back, moaning sharply at the sensation, her body arching upward into his.
Loki shuddered as he pulled out, and Jane's legs dropped. They were exhausted. Loki tiredly kissed her forehead, and Jane kissed his, combing her fingers through his hair tenderly.
He took Jane's hand, as she curled up facing him, pulling the covers over them, falling into a deep, peaceful sleep.
Their four week-long honeymoon went by in the sunlit courtyards, mingling among their subjects, feasting and celebrating, and making love each night.
Until one morning, when Jane rose out of bed earlier than usual. She didn't feel right. Something was wrong inside. Puzzled, she slipped on her underwear and a soft green robe. And then she knew what was wrong. Her stomach did a flip, and she bolted straight for the bathroom. She barely made it in time, before she threw up. She gasped for air when she was done, sitting back against the stone wall. 'Did I eat something wrong? But I don't remember anything seeming particularly odd. Poison?!' she thought to herself. And then another though occurred, 'My period was supposed to come days ago...'
Jane leaned over the toilet, and threw up again. She laid on the cool marble floor, feeling sweaty. Loki came in, wearing his tunic and cloth pants. "Are you alright dearest?"
"Not at the moment." Jane moaned, her stomach heaving, she sat up suddenly, and gagged over the bowl. Loki came and sat beside her. When she finished, she leaned back, reclining against her husband. He brushed her hair with his fingers, calming her, until her stomach did another back-flip, and she retched into the toilet, shuddering when it had finished spazming. "I'm sorry." Jane said wiping her mouth, leaning on Loki again. He smiled, and held her, comforting her in her sickness.
Jane was ill for three days, before she was finally able to keep food and water down. It was another two days before she left the bathroom.
Loki came in, to see Jane standing in front of the mirror, looking at her abdomen. "Jane?" Loki inquired, crossing the distance between them. "What's wrong?"
Jane looked up and smiled at him, "I'm pregnant."
Loki's eyes widened, "Are you in earnest?"
His wife smiled up at him, "Yes." Her eyes twinkled. Loki's mouth worked into one of utter joy. He got down on one knee, wrapping his arms around her hips, kissing her womb, "We're going to have a baby." Jane whispered, "An heir."
Loki laughed, kissing her belly once more, before standing and embracing his wife. "I am so happy." He said, squeezing her lightly. He kissed her gently, "Since you seem to be feeling better, would you care to take a walk through the sunlight halls today?"
"Yes." Jane replied, wrapping her arms around Loki's neck in an embrace, before putting on a loose fit dress.
"You look ravishing." He murmured, holding out his hand for her. Jane smiled and took his hand. Together, they emerged from Loki's chambers.
Jane sighed, enjoying the feel of sunshine on her skin. Loki smiled, seeing her lift her free arm up toward the sun, soaking it in like a plant, and a smile cross her lips. Her hair even seemed to glow, so energized was she simply by walking in the sunlight.
As they walked in the sunlit halls, Loki sensed something...something off. Something very wrong. 'Where are all the guards?'
