X - Sweeter than heaven and hotter than Hell

The sun crawled over the mountains, lighting Asgard with a magnificent morning glow. The city was still and quiet, most of its residents still sleeping. But not Ava, her mind was too restless. She sat at the top of the stairs right outside the Great Hall; her legs lay out on the steps casually. Relaxed she stared out at the most beautiful view of the land. To think she would live here, with the gods…with Thor. She smiled at the thought and rose from her seat, stretching her arms high in the air.

"What have you done?" A voice whispered in a hurried hush behind her. Ava turned around but no one was there. Unexpectedly a swift wind hurled through the air and struck her hard, practically knocking her up against the Great Hall's doors. Carried by the wind was an echoing cry.

The day seemed to darken as clouds rolled over the blue skies. She looked up at the sun but it was already covered by black clouds drumming heavy beats of thunder. A bright flash of lightning struck the ground where she had been sitting just moments ago and smoked like a fire had started. From the smoke a tall woman appeared dressed in an onyx cloak. It breezed in the wind revealing it's worn out state, as if wolves had gotten to it.

The woman's face was shadowed by the cloak she wore, but her eyes glittered from the darkness like two sapphires.

"What do you want," Ava shouted, pressing herself close to the door. No answer was returned to her as the cloaked woman stood still. Before she could repeat herself another flash struck hitting the cloaked woman. She screamed bloody murder and thrashed around like a wild beast. The unknown woman spun in circles pulling at her cloak and ripping it from her body; the fabric fell in a heap between the two of them. Ava stared at it seeing something move slowly underneath it. She looked back up at the woman but felt a cold chill run down her spine. Out of pure fright she screamed and sunk against the door in a fetal position.

The woman was naked, but that was not what frightened Ava. She had no face save her eyes. Pale sick flesh clung to her bones, scarred and aging horribly as if decaying. While watching the rotting woman move around Ava felt herself changing. It didn't hurt, but rather felt other worldly. Like a new breath of life was filling her lungs. She looked down at her skin realizing it was glowing.

"What is happening," she touched her skin slowly feeling a warm power buzz over her. "I must be going crazy."

She looked back at the woman and gasped. All that remained of her was a broken skeleton scattered on the ground next to the cloak that still moved. Cautiously Ava stepped towards it. 'I have to be crazy'. Kneeling down, she brushed the bones off the cloak. She made a face feeling the bones rub against her hand roughly. Lifting the black garment up slowly her eyes widen. There on the ground was a little baby boy, naked and shivering furiously.

"Oh my god," Ava gasped and picked him up carefully nuzzling him to her breasts. The boy whined as if to cry but hushed when he felt the motherly contact. "You're okay little guy."

The baby was small in her arms. He curiously looked up at her with beautiful light blue eyes and touched his small hand to her chin. His skin was slightly dark, almost like a golden honey.

"Such a handsome boy you are," she cooed in a baby voice. Thinking it might be better if she took him inside Ava got up carefully and rushed back to the Great Hall's door. She tried to open it but it remained shut.

"What have you done," a voice thundered behind her again. Again she quickly turned around but this time it was Thor standing there, bloody and bruised like he had been in battle. His eyes were cold and dark as he looked down at her belly. She followed his gaze down and screamed. The gown she wore was drenched in crimson red. Blood bled between her legs and began to pool at her feet. Shaking horribly she started to pant and looked back to Thor for comfort but he had moved away from her and somehow managed to take the baby from her.

"Thor?"

Another flash of lightening hit in front of her and he was gone.

"Thor!" she screamed.

She woke up with a loud gasp. Her skin dampened by heated sweat. Reaching a shaky hand up to touch her cheek she pulled it back to see a clear liquid on her fingertips. The dream had been so real. The cold wind, the warmth of the baby in her arms, the smell of blood… Quietly she sat up stifling a sob. She looked over at Thor seeing that he was still asleep. He laid on his side facing her, his arm stretched over to rest over her waist. Not wanting to disturb him she inched her way out of bed but stopped when she felt a hand grab ahold of her wrist. Ava looked over her shoulder seeing he had woken up and was smiling warmly at her. Swallowing her less than happy emotions she returned the smile and laid back in the bed, cuddling up next to him. His hand moved and sat it on her bare hip; a wave of relief flooding her. It always felt right when he touched her.

"Good morning my love," he whispered and kissed her wet cheek. He pulled away slowly and frowned.

"Sorry," she started, quickly thinking of an excuse as to why she had been crying, "sometimes my eyes are sensitive to light in the morning and water up."

He nodded in understanding and kissed the top of her head, "then I will find drapes for the windows."

"No I like waking up to sunlight," Ava beamed and moved her head up to kiss him; he returned it with gusto.

The two kissed for some time, both their hands sliding one another, caressing and comforting each other. Slowly Thor's hand crept down to rest between her thighs. He eased a finger past her folds and stroked her slowly. A satisfied grin spread on his face while he watched her eyes widen from his penetration. A small whimper pushed passed her lips, her grip tightened on his arms. With a few more steady pumps he pulled his finger out of her.

"Please don't stop," she whimpered but was silenced by him shushing her. Ava stared in utter amazement as the blonde god ran his tongue over his finger, tasting her. Thor pulled away and sat up in bed still sucking on his finger, truly in love with the way she tasted. When he finished he looked over at her then pulled her to lay on his chest. Obligating to his silent request she hummed in contentment and listened to his heartbeat. It was steady and sound. His large hands began to move and massage her back slowly, working out any soreness.

"Oh Thor that feels amazing," she melted into his chest.

"That is its purpose," he chuckled, kissing the top of her head.

"Can I rub you," she teased.

"Nay, we shall lay like this for a while longer," he hugged her tenderly and gave a blissful sigh. "Then I shall bathe you, and then feed you."

Ava bent her neck back to look him in the eye.

"Why can't I ever please you," she pouted playfully. With no warning Thor moved and flipped her to lay on her back; he hovered above her, their lips dangerously close. His golden hair fell like drapes around her, blocking her sight of everything else but his face. She was trapped.

"The opportunity shall come soon enough my dear Ava," he bent down and kissed her deeply. "But no matter the case I shall always spoil you. Whether it be love or physical pleasure. If I make you happy, I am truly happy."

Hearing those words sent Ava over; she leaned up and kissed him passionately while her hand slid around his neck to hug him. Thor welcomed this kiss and in return pressed his body down on her, not crushing her but just enough to closer to her.

He guided her down the halls; both were so caught up in their love they didn't notice anyone who passed by them. Their eyes stayed on each other, hands on each others arms. Ava felt high, her legs blissfully weak from her bath, her mind still buzzing. He did not lie when he said he would bathe her. He did that and many other things that only brought a pinker blush to her face.

Thor was having a difficult time concentrating to get them to their destination. After bathing her he had become uncomfortably hard; but instead of relieving himself he swore to himself that his patience would be greatly rewarded. Tonight he would let her take control. She would be given all the time she needed to explore him, just as he had done. Whatever she wanted would, whatever she needed would be done. The thought only excited him more.

He glanced down at her seeing her in a daze, a smile on her face, and eyes glazed over in delight. Trying to be discreet Thor pulled her into a shadowed spot and covered her in kisses; his large hands cradled the sides of her head with care. The need to kiss her would be too much and it seemed Ava had no complaints. She leaned herself against him for support and eagerly returned the affection.

"Forgive me Ava," he whispered, "I cannot help myself, now that I have tasted you." His thumb brushed over her lips.

"I will always want you."

Ava giggled and pulled away from him. She snuck under his arms and stepped into the open hall.

"I swear my ego can't take anymore," she leaned over and grabbed his hand. "Come on, I am hungry and I am pretty sure you are too."

"Is red meat all you eat," Ava laughed, she leaned her elbow against the table and watched Thor bite into and devour what looked like a ham but a little darker in the meat. He stopped and looked down her confused. Plopping the meat down, he ripped a piece off and brought it up to her mouth. She took his offer and chewed it slowly; salty would be a great way to describe it, with an overpowering taste of smoke; like it was roasted over an open fire.

"It's good," she admitted and looked over the rest of the food laid out on the grand table. "But do you guys eat anything else. Like fish or turkey?"

"Rarely do we eat fish here; you are more likely to find that in the smaller villages, or where there are larger bodies of water. But this turkey I have never heard of. Is that a common beast in Midgard?"

"Well sort of, it is really popular during Thanksgiving," Ava smiled.

"Thanksgiving?"

Ava laughed and picked up another piece of meat off Thor's plate and ate it, "never mind".

"THOR!" the booming voice of Volstagg nearly sent Ava out of her seat. The portly man somehow managed to sneak up on them. He brought his arm down and powerfully patted Thor on the back.

"We missed you last night thunderer," he chuckled knowingly giving Ava a wink.

"Indeed, curious it was when the Great Almighty Thor did not make an appearance at the feast," Fandral chimed in, a wide grin on his lips. "Tell me Thor where did you wander off too? Did some temptress ensnare you?"

"Perhaps," Thor murmured softly, his gaze stayed on the dark woman sitting beside him. The warriors three laughed and gathered around the table while finding their seats. Ava smiled as she felt herself being swept up into deja vu. All four warriors boasted and engorged themselves with food. The majority of their talk however was about Thor and Ava and why they were both absent. The topic didn't bother Ava, she thought it was cute his friends teased him; and Thor always had a smart response to anything they dished out. It was both amazing and amusing how grown men, warriors even, could act like boys.

Feeling her stare Thor turned his head and looked down at her. She realized then that she was staring and quickly looked away blushing. The familiar feeling of want surged its way through her, carrying a heat that sat in her stomach. Clearing her throat quietly, she looked in the other direction.

Her eyes shockingly landed on Amora, like she had appeared out of thin air. The blonde stood there with her arms crossed and a sweet smile on her face. She started walking towards the door keeping her blue gaze tight on Ava, signaling her to follow.

A wave of nervousness swept over Ava's body as she turned her head back to Thor. Thankfully he hadn't noticed Amora's sudden arrival. Checking to make sure Amora was out of sight she reached her hand up and touched his arm. He looked back down at her and smiled.

"Yes love," he breathed, excited by her touch.

"I'm done eating, do you mind if I go on a short walk?" she silently prayed he would say yes, however he gave her a confused look.

"There is no need for you to walk alone, I shall accompany you," he said sternly.

"You don't have to," she replied a little too quickly, she mentally kicked herself. Her heart beat quickened and her mind raced to think of something. "Its fine… be with your friends for a bit, I just want to get some fresh air."

"Yes Thor, let the maiden be. We still have much to discuss," Fandral teased.

'Nice save!'

Thor's unconvinced expression lessened to a small frown, but he nodded his head nonetheless.

"Only be out for a bit Ava," the seriousness in his voice was nerve racking, but that didn't stop the smile on her face. She squealed quietly and hugged him.

"Promise!"
