I walked into Thor's quarters, the door unlocked and open just a sliver for me.
When I had locked the door behind me, I took off my gown and pulled on one of Thor's massive shirts, allowing it to hang off of my petite shoulders and brush the tops of my thighs as I moved down into his personal courtyard. There, I found him staring into the small pond before him, the sky dark and alive with thunder.
"Thor," I called out, walking up behind him and wrapping my arms around his neck.
He only sighed and closed his eyes, tilting his head back to rest it on my breasts. "Many years ago before our birth, there was a great war between Asgard and Jotunheim. From the cold and dark came the Frost Giants, who targeted Midgard, threatening to plunge the mortal world into ice. But we would not let them face the threat alone and it was our armies that drove the Jotun back to the heart of their own world. The cost of their war was great- their king fell and the source of their power was taken from them," I said, pressing a kiss to the top of his head. "You must remember that is was Asgard and its warriors that brought peace to the universe…"
"And so it should be Halea," Thor replied, looking up at me. "Father has a truce with Laufey, the Jotun King- yet he does not respond to the actions that the Frost Giants have taken." I was silent for a moment before moving to sit in his lap, "And what action would you take?" Thor pondered my question for a moment, looking up at me intensely. "I would march into Jotunheim as he once did, teach them a lesson, break their spirits so they would never dare try to cross our borders again!"
"You are thinking only as a warrior," I whispered quietly, biting my bottom lip. Thor's eyes darkened and lightening struck somewhere behind me, the thunder almost deafening, "This was an act of war Halea!"
I pressed my lips to his, Thor's anger tangible in the kiss.
"It was the act of but a few who were doomed to fail from the beginning, sweet. Yes- they got this far, but Odin-King will find the breach in our defenses and he will seal them."
"As King of Asgard, I would-"
"Thor, you are not King," I shouted in exasperation, frustrated by his tenacity. "Not yet."
He stood, sitting me down gently before turning to walk off once more, "It is not wise to be in my company right now, dear one."
"And so you will walk away from me, for the second time today?" As Thor looked at me, I pulled off my ring and held it out to him. "Love, if you walk away again, you should take this with you," I said honestly, his eyes darkening until it seemed as if they were black with anger. Thor took a step towards me and swallowed, "Return your ring to your hand. Immediately." When I continued to hold it out to him, Thor returned to me and took me to the ground, holding my fist in his. I rolled over and tried to crawl away from him even as he wrapped his arms around my waist, vice-like and inescapable. Whatever argument that was to be had, did not come to fruition- not when I was laying before him naked other than his shirt, which was currently pushed up past my waist. He seemed to notice my state of undress for the first time, pressing up against me until I gasped in shock.
Thor leaned forward and bit down on my earlobe, causing me to moan quietly.
"No more fighting," he murmured before kissing the back of my shoulder. "And put your ring back on."
"Agreed," I replied as I slid my ring back onto my finger, feeling him moving behind me. I heard him undoing his belt and once more he wrapped an arm around my waist, his other hand positioning me almost roughly. My teeth came together audibly as he entered me, Thor pushing me forward on my elbows with the force. I felt him quiver slightly before falling into a forceful, maddening pace that I knew I would not be able to stand from easily. His pants and moans were more animalistic than I had ever heard from him or any of my former consorts, his grip on me tight enough to bruise. "Halea," he practically growled, storm overhead intensifying. Thor reached forward and grabbed one of my breasts, pulling me back towards him powerfully.
The sky opened up as Thor reached his peak, the rain falling down on us, hot and sweet. We fell forward onto the ground, both of us gasping for air as the storm darkened the sky over Asgard as if it were night.
I looked at Thor, breathless and sated, both of us staring at the other even as the rain soaked us through. My betrothed kicked off his pants and pulled his shirt over his head, pulling me into his arms before he stood. I looked at him as we walked into his quarters, yawning sleepily. "Do you feel better now," I asked, Thor chuckling as he kissed my forehead.
"I feel much better," he replied, entering the bathing chamber.
Thor ran us a bath and we slipped into the water together, my lover tilting my head back so that he could wash my hair. "Thor, if it is any consolation, I think that you are right about the Frost Giants- I am, after all, the goddess of war; I cannot turn down a fight or turn the other cheek. And if a few of them could penetrate the defenses once, who is to say they will not try again," I questioned, Thor nodding fervently.
"Yes exactly!"
"But there is nothing we can do without defying your father," I murmured as Thor stilled in his ministrations. My eyes grew wide as Thor got out of the bath and I scrambled after him, "Stop there Thor Odin-son! I know that look! it's the same exact look that got us a lashing half a millennia ago!"Thor ignored me as he dressed, my hands moving deftly as I pulled on a pair of leggings and one of his tunics. "It is the only way to ensure the safety of our borders Halea- the only way to ensure your safety, my love. I will not let anyone or anything bring you harm."
