It had been a couple of days since that night with Loki. Diane stood at her balcony looking over the views of the castle grounds. She remembered that night, how they were interrupted by a knock on her door and how Loki had disappeared after magically putting on a night dress for her. It had been Frigga, checking up on her to make sure everything had been okay. Diane was unsure if she was annoyed that they had interrupted or relieved. Her and Loki had always been the perfect match for each other, mainly because they would challenge each other, and they would always see that their intelligence matched each other's.

Diane continued to watch over the grounds and she soon spotted a certain god of mischief riding back in from his time away. He and Thor had gone off for some sort of royal duties. In all honesty, she hadn't really paid much attention to what Odin had said that morning. As loki rode closer to the castle she noticed he was making direct eye contact with her – piercing into her. He was smirking, and she could feel his eyes traveling up and down her body. She watched as he rode of towards the stables. She stayed out there for a few more minutes, trying to calm herself down. She knew with Loki it was always the waiting game. Everything was always a game, she watched the way he would toy with Thor and all she could do now was hope that he wouldn't do the same with her. But its already a game – that thought occurred to her, he wanted to break her, make her kneel before him. Is this really just a game? Diane turned back into her chambers and could feel a change in energy. She turned around towards the balcony

"Hello little one" Loki approached her, smirking as usual, "Have you missed me?" He closed the gap between them. He placed his hands on her hips brining her closer into him. Diane could feel one of his hands traveling up her body and his thumb brushed her lip, she couldn't help but kiss it as it brushed over her lip the second time.

"Does my prince not know of knocking?" Diane said returning his smirk and pulling away from him, she turned around and he was suddenly back in front of her.

"Don't toy with me." He responded looking frustrated, almost angry.

"Oh but my love it is who wishes to toy with me." Diane cupped his check and stroked it tenderly. "If I remember correctly you wish to break me." She went to move her hand away but Loki stopped her and put his hand over hers and squeezed it.

He shook his head. Diane could sense something was wrong "will you join me for a walk?" she watched his reaction, "I have missed your company."

Loki

"Of course, my lady." Loki continued to hold Diane's hand and escorted her down to the grounds. He had missed her company. If I remember correctly you wish to break me, does she really think that this is all I want? Loki focused on what she had said. But she had also told him that she had missed his company. Loki hated the last few days with his idiotic brother. Why father was choosing him to be king? I would be the best King for Asgard. They continued to walk the garden grounds in silence and Loki spotted Thor in the distance. His body tensed up in anger, Why was he always there?! Loki's thoughts were interrupted when he felt a tight squeeze on his hand, he looked down to see Diane squeezing it and looking at him warmly. "Quick, before he sees us." She smiled at him and pulled him away going across to East gardens. Diane continued to run with Loki, pulling him along. What is she up to? She continued to pull him along until they got to the maze. Loki watched as Diane turned around and smiled at him, "catch me if you can" she said before sprinting off away from him. Loki went to chase after her, but she had already disappeared.

"You know this is really childish." He shouted out after her, he could hear her laugh.

"Maybe you should stop being so serious." She called out, he listened to the direction of her voice. Right he thought to himself.

"So… what do I get if I catch you?" He called out, waiting for her response.

"What would you like my prince?" Keeping walking ahead He knew if he continued to get her to talk he would find her quicker. Though being asked what he wanted from her did light up some fire within him.

"You know what I would like," he practically growled out with lust. He waited for a reply but nothing. "Diane?" Loki questioned.

He felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around him, he could feel her body press up against his back. He could smell her, and she was delicious. He turned round, cupping her face, he leant down and kissed her. Loki could hear her moan and this made him want her more. Diane pulled away and this frustrated Loki beyond belief.

"I caught you Loki, what do I get?" Diane smirked at him. She infuriated him, was it quite possible that she was just as stubborn as him.

"Come," Loki said taking her hand, "we must get ready for dinner before we are late. We don't want the guards looking for us and seeing us in a compromising position. Plus, I need to meet with father beforehand."

Diane

Diane was in her chambers preparing for tonight when she could hear shouting within the corridors. She listened closely to find it was Loki's voice. She could pick up a few words, "Father…joke….show him….how dare he pick a fool over me….wanting to be equal" Diane could hear banging and she knew Loki was practically destroying the halls. Diane knew better than to be standing near the door of her chambers. She moved away – awaiting to hear the slamming of Loki's chamber doors. Instead there was slamming of her chamber doors. Diane looked at Loki, anger filled his eyes and his body shaking with rage.
