"I can smell you." Sekhmet said without looking at him. Loki swallowed and took a small step forward slightly terrified.

"I wanted to apologize to you." he said softly "For everything."

"I know." she replied still looking out into the city, he walked closer to her carefully "I too am sorry."

"For what?" Loki replied confused.

"For what I did, I should have never come here." she said sighing.

"But,"

"But what?" she interrupted him still unable to look at him "I almost killed you, your family, friends, I could have killed everything in this world."

"But it was not all your doing, we." he replied trying to reason with her.

"We?" she questioned looking up at him unamused.

"Yes, we all did it." he replied looking into her eyes.

"No your Highness, I did it. If I stood my ground, and said no to the match this would have never happened. I am more at fault than any of you, I allowed it. I allowed your little game to continue."

"Princess." Loki said pleadingly. "I should have stopped once you mentioned to me that you found me out for what I am."

"Loki?"

"I can not allow you to leave, not until I know you have forgiven me."

"I forgive you." she replied looking at him plainly.

"Will you leave now? Go back home?" he asked panicked.

"Yes, unless the others seem to think I can stay?" she sighed sadly.

"But?"

"No, they all are afraid for you, they all think I might harm you truly harm you. Kill you even, you do not know of the things I could do to you. You do not want to know what I can do once I become that way." she said unable to look at him anymore, and instead looked out into the city below her.

"But you have not, you did not even then." he replied softly.

As fast as he finished his words, she grabbed him by the neck and pushed him hard into the pillar a few feet away from them. Her eyes grew red, and Loki panicked his eyes growing wide with fear, "Do you like this?" she asked as she bared her sharp teeth. "Do you like being food to me? Do you enjoy having a monster that can rip you to shreds in your company? Do you know what I wanted to do to you last night? I wanted to keep you chained in my temple for all time, bleeding for my pleasure. I would torture you, cut you, slice you, scar you. You would be my little weak pet." she replied dropping him on the stairs below the pillar then walked away, he grasped for air rubbing his neck, shakily rising. Her chest rose and fell rapidly as though she was trying to again control herself from reacting to him.

"I do want you in my company." Loki said before he could stop himself. "We are more alike then you think?"

"Oh, you are a blood thirsty monster too?" she replied looking at him with her light colored eyes.

"You are no monster, and we both are outcasts though you are more loved than I." he said softly confidently looking into her eyes.

"Oh, I am not a monster? Loki, you are loved, very greatly. You just seem to dwell on this minor things that take place. They all love you Loki, especially your brother Thor." she replied, Loki walked closer to her, she closed her eyes when a breeze blew past them. "Why do you do this to me?" she whispered when she opened her eyes.

"What do I do?" he asked looking at her as he sat down on the stairs, she leaned against the railing looking at him.

"The way you smell," she replied whispering.

"I smell?" he asked confused "But I?"

"No, it is not a bad smell," she said interrupting him, "it is the smells of everything I love." she replied with her breath quickening again as she moved to sit next to him "Your blood smells like wine, incense, lotus blossoms. However just the way you smell." she grabbed him by the arm pulling him to her wrapping her arms around him running her hands through his hair burying her nose into his neck smelling him, Loki smiled enjoying her reaction. "You, just you smell like leather, with the faintest smell of the woods, a hint of soaps, and dark spices, a like winter. I think its called, cold, dark, and clean, you smell like a man, all topped of with a hint of mischief." she looked up at him worried about her reaction and let go of him, though he still smiled. Suddenly he had an overwhelming urge to pull her towards him and kiss her, but he paused. They sat together in silence for sometime when Loki feeling strangely emboldened wrapped his arms around her and pulled her towards. He ran his hand up her arm to her neck tilting her chin up with his thumb to look into her eyes then planted a kiss on her lips. She grasped the sides of his face deepening the kiss as Loki snaked his arms around her body caressing it with his long fingers as he roughly pulled her tighter to him. He felt Sekhmet move her hands out of his hair moving them down his chest to the front of his belted leather pants. Sekhmet pulled the belt loosening it then moved to unlace the ties roughly pushing and pulling them all free. Loki groaned against her lips pulling her up, he moved his hands down her hips to pull her skirt up her thighs. He moved her up against the shadowed wall close to them pinning her back to her it. Sekhmet grasped at his face with one hand kissing him hard as she moaned against his lips. She skillfully pulled him out of his tight confinement as he pushed her up the wall using his knee to pry her legs open pushing her skirt up higher around her waist. He grabbed himself from her hand, and pressed it into her as she wrapped her legs around his hips. They broke their kiss as he roughly entered her causing them both to cry out a strangled out of breath cry looking into each others eyes. Sekhmet tangled her fingers into his hair pulling him to her mouth. He kissed down her neck she moaned his name as he pinned her against the wall with one arm firmly around her, and a free hand pressed flat against the wall when he thrust into her hard and fast. He breathed heavily against her neck as she met him with the same paces grinding against his hips. "What are you doing to me." he breathed harshly against her ear she moaned as he kissed her jaw, running his hand from the wall to her hip then up to grab at her right breast roughly. Sekhmet arched her back at his touch sighing, she roughly grabbed his face and kissed him hard biting his lip as she parted his lips with her tongue. Loki growled into her mouth as he moved his hands back down her hips pushing himself harder and deeper inside her, she cried out the most exquisite noises as she writhed against his body. His head was swimming with too many sensations his body began to tighten which caused him to push into her one last time as he cried out. Their breath ragged and shaky, he looked into her eyes and gently kissed her running his fingers against her cheek, stroking it with his thumb. He rested his forehead again against hers as she smoothed his hair, both of them trying to slow their breath. Loki carefully pulled out of her then carefully placed her down onto her feet, her dress falling down. He refastened his pants while Sekhmet watched him as she leaned against the wall. Loki grabbed her again kissing her roughly pulling her hard to him as he wrapped his arms around her. "I want you again." he whispered against her lips "I need you again." she smiled and grabbed at his face to kiss him. He again pulled her up against the pillar "No, Loki." she said as she pushed him away slightly.

"Why?" he replied frustrated.

"Not here," she said pulling him out the small terrace.

"Then where?" He said as he pulled her back towards him as they entered the hallway kissing her roughly pushing her up again against the wall.

"Your bed. I want you in your bed." she replied as she pushed against him.

"Done," he said as he held her tight and they disappeared then reappeared in his room.
