A large crack of thunder woke Loki from his slumber and his hand shot out to wake Signey. He found her side of the bed empty and panic began to set in. With it snowing outside the only way for it to be thundering as well meant Thor had to be near. If his so-called brother found him now it would ruin his plans. His heart hammered in his chest and he scrambled out of the bed to search for Signey. He went out into the den and found the fire was barely embers. Another flash of lightning lit the room and Loki's fist clenched. He bit back the urge to scream out. A gust of wind from the wide open door made him shiver, but not from the cold. He crept to the door and peered around it. He found Signey standing on the porch with a cup of something hot in her hands. She was watching the storm with a child like wonder. He still feared the storm was a precursor for Thor's arrival. He hissed at her to get her attention.
"Signey!" She jumped a bit and turned to find him staying in the shadows. She placed her cup down on the railing and padded over to the door.
"Sorry I heard the thunder and wanted to come out and watch it. It's not everyday Thunder Snow happens." Loki tilted his head and his brow furrowed.
"Thunder Snow?" She giggled a bit and took his hands to try to lead him out on the porch. He balked and held himself in the shadows still.
"Thunder Snow happens when warmer air hits arctic air. It is like a thunderstorm in the summer, but happens in the winter. There is nothing to be afraid of."
"And this happens enough for it to have a name?" She nodded.
"It happens more over here then it does back in the states. My dad use to tell me when I was a child that is was you and Thor fighting." The amused look on Loki's face made Signey grin. "Though I will have to say that you always won when it happened."
"How so?" She again pulled to get him out on the porch and this time he allowed her to lead him out of the doorway.
"Well the thunder and lighting only lasted for a little while, but the snow would keep falling." His eyebrow rose and he shook his head. "Don't look at me like that I was like three when I first starting believing that."
"And now? You are no longer a child, what do you believe now?" She shrugged and picked her cup off the railing. She took a sip and handed the warm mug to Loki.
"It's tea." He nodded thanks and took a sip of the honey warm liquid.
"You still haven't answered me."
"Do I think you could beat Thor in a fight, yes I do, but not head to head."
"I do lack his strength, but I am far smarter." A wicked smirk graced her lips and she backed away down the front stairs of the house. The snow had been falling most of the day and was at least calf deep on her. It was then Loki noticed Signey was bare foot and in just a thin night gown. "Signey are you mad? You will freeze." She shook her head and took off running out into the storm. The wind had not died down at all really and it drove the snow to make it almost impossible to see more than a few feet. Loki jumped off the porch and began taking off in the direction she had run. "Signey!" He heard her laugh echo around him, but he could not see her.
"Come find me." It should have been easy to find her even out in this storm, but every time he thought he was close she managed to to give him the slip. Normally this would have been an enjoyable game, one he would have gladly played if not for the fact it was snowing. Her state of dress concerned him. Loki was not about to loss Sigyn so soon after getting her back. It did not matter that she had no memory of her life before. As the minutes ticked by and he still had not been able to find her, he began to panic. Her laughter had stopped and so had the faint sounds of her footsteps.
"Signey, please!" He had turned back to head back to the house to get the scepter. He knew he could find her with that at least. When he did she would be lucky if he did not lock her away to keep her safe. He could just make out the outline of the house when something hit him in the back. He turned and was hit square in the chest with a snow ball. He looked down at the mark on his chest with a look of shock.
"No fair heading back to the house. You still haven't found me yet." Her voice sounded amused and there was no waver to it. He scanned the area around him and still he could not see her. It boggled his mind.
"I would gladly play this little game with you in more temperate weather my love, but I fear for your well being. Please come out so we can return to our nice warm bed."
"Not til you find me." He growled and grit his teeth. She was far more stubborn than he had ever thought her to be. Another snow ball came out of the darkness and this time he was able to gather which direction she was in. He ran to the right only to be hit by yet another snowball this time in the back of his head. A frustrated grunt sounded from him and his fists balled up.
"You will never find her like that father." Loki spun on his heels, his hand flew to his dagger.
"Hela?" The younger woman smiled and moved closer to her father.
"I thought I would check in on you only to find you were not where I last left you." She looked out into the snow storm and a smirk formed on her lips. "Having fun?"
"No, she is running around out here barefoot in nothing but a shift."
"So?"
"So, most races do not do well in weather like this. She will freeze." Hela began to laugh and Loki shot her a burning look. "It is not funny Hela. I don't want her hurt."
"And she won't be. She has Jotun blood, which means she is just as comfortable out here as you and I are."
"What do you mean she has Jotun blood?" His eyes flashed red for a moment and Hela shook her head.
"The potion Gran gave me was called the Potion of Worth. Surely you remember what making it entails?" Loki sighed and he gave a curt nod.
"She used blood from Odin, Thor, herself and you. The boys and I added a drop of our own blood as per Sigyn's request. It was her way of...being connected to us. All of that mixed with essence of the Apples of Idunn and the other aspects that go into the potion made her immune to disease, cold and mortal weapons." Loki's eyes looked out into the storm and Hela could see the shine of tears welling up.
"Did Sigyn know I am..."
"A Jotun? No she did not know. Though to inform you, you are only half Jotun. Gran found out that your mother was Asgardian." A small look of horror and pain passed over Loki's face.
"What?" Hela sighed and took her father's hand.
"You are half Jotun and half Aseir. Jotuns can use magic, but not the way that we can. It is our Asgardian blood that makes us able to use magic in the way Gran taught us."
"Did she find out whom my mother would be?" Hela shook her head.
"If she knew she did not tell me. All she did say was the woman was a great warrior, a shield maiden. She died right after your birth as far as we could find out."
"Another victim of Laufey."
"Possibly, it does not matter. The past can not be changed, all we can do it look to the here and now. You should try finding Signey. The storm is getting stronger and soon you will not be able to see out here at all."
"Easier said then done. I can't see a bloody thing out here." Hela laughed and shook her head.
"You do know Jotuns can see through even a blizzard if they want to. If you didn't look down your nose at who you are maybe you could see her." Loki glared at his daughter, but she held his gaze. "Your children are mostly Frost Giant, are we monsters? You told us all our lives we were not, but now that you know what you are you condemn us, yourself and our entire race. Father..."
"You and your brothers are not monsters Hela, but I am. I am glad Sigyn raised you...her heart was always pure. I can see her influence in you, but it is too late for me."
"Why?"
"I have done to much, fallen too far to come back, but I am selfish...now that I know who she is I can't let her go. If nothing else she will be the eye of the storm. My safe place to rest before I unleash chaos." Hela bit her lip and wanted nothing more than to shake her father. His hands grasped her shoulders and he kissed her forehead. "I love you Hela. Never forget that. No matter what I do, you, your brothers, Frigga and Sigyn are the only beings that matter to me. I can not fight my own nature. I am chaos, lies and death." It hurt her to see her father like this. Deep down Hela knew nothing she could say would change the self hate he felt. As she has grown older she could now tell it had always been there. Hela admitted defeat in this fight for now and scanned the nearby area for Signey.
"Signey is behind the tree over there twenty feet to your right." Loki nodded and gave his daughter a sad smile. "I will check in on you both again when I can. I can't come here too much or Odin might get suspicious."
"I look forward to it. Tell...tell Frigga...I miss her."
"I will." A rush of wind blew the snow around Hela til she was gone. Loki waved his hand a left a copy of himself in the same spot while he moved invisible to where Signey was hiding. She had her back to him as she peered around the tree. She let out a small giggle seeing him standing there looking frustrated. His hand closed around the back of her neck and she let out a squeak. He turned her around and she could see the dangerous glint in his eyes.
"I've caught you." His voice was a low whisper and she felt her body shutter. After she got over the shock of him surprising her she smirked and met his gaze.
"Now that you've caught me what do you want for your reward?" A low rumble sounded from him and he closed the space between them. His lips met hers in a bruising kiss. To his surprise she responded immediately. Her fingers curled in his hair and she pulled him closer. In her bare feet she felt shorter next to him then she normally did, but she could not bring herself to care about the height difference. She hopped up and wrapped her legs around his waist. Loki's hands moved swiftly to grip her thighs. She weighed nothing to him. Her body was slim, yet curvy in all the right places. He pulled back enough to speak and smirked when she tried to nip at his lips as he did so.
"Vixen. So eager are we?"
"Would I lose your respect if I said yes?" He threw back his head to chuckle only to have her lean forward to give him a love bite along his throat.
"Signey...I thought you wanted to go slowly. I might be a god, but I am still a man. You can not tease me without dealing with the consequences." She looked up at him her face unreadable. Loki rested his head against hers trying to control the boiling in his blood. Everything ached to take her, make her his own, but he feared losing her if he pushed to hard. "Do not push unless you are ready for what your actions will bring about." She sighed and unhooked her legs from around him. She pushed herself back away from him. She turned and put her back to him. "Signey?"
"I...I'm sorry I didn't mean to come on so strong...it's just the storm and...I guess I am tired of existing, but not truly living."
"You do live. Your passion is your work." She let out a bitter laugh and turned back to face him.
"For the first time in my life I don't care about my work. I feel like I have been dead for years and am now just coming back to life." Shaking her head she took a few steps farther away from him. "It's...never mind ….I'm rambling like my cousin. Let's just go back inside and forget I said anything." Loki's stride was far longer than hers and he caught her quickly. He blocked her path and placed his hands on her shoulders.
"Talk to me Signey. Why do you feel this way? Why do you think you have been dead for years?" A small pang of hope and fear ran through him. Was she remembering? Was she trying to return to him? He had to stay calm and coax it out of her.
"I've always been so closed to the world around me. I would shy away from people other than family and even then I never felt like I belonged. With you I feel...it feels right, like my heart knows what my head doesn't. You're a god and I am just a...I should be meaningless to you." The look of pure pain on her face made his heart ache
"You're not meaningless. Most I have found in this realm, but you my love, are not meaningless." His hand cupped her cheek while his thumb wiped away the slow tears that slipped down it. "To see you in tears is a sin. I only ever wish to see you smile, to hear you laugh." He leaned down and began kissing her tears away. With the cold wind some had turned almost to ice. "If this is your choice then know this, no other man will ever touch you. If you choose to be with me it is forever. I will not let you go." Signey's eyes went wide for a second then a smile graced her lips.
"Who said I ever wanted you to?" Loki let go of her face and in a quick motion he hooked his hands under her thighs to lift her up against him. Signey again wrapped her legs around his waist while her arms moved to be around his neck.
"As much as I would love to ravage you out here in the snow, I think it would be better for this to happen in that delectable bed of ours." Signey blushed and buried her face in the crook of his neck. She gave him a small nod and Loki rushed then both back to the house.
OoO
On the dark hunk of rock Urdr waited. The plans that had been put into place seemed to be falling apart. Loki still lived and Queen Frigga was suspicious of her now. The Frost Giant truly did not fear the Allmother, but the Allfather was another story. Odin could be problematic. The rustle of robes made her wake from her thoughts. The Other waved her forward and she followed him up a flight of stairs.
"I had not thought to see you again Norn." The Jotun sneered.
"You would never have had to see me again if you have completed the one simple task I had given you. You have failed me twice."
"He will die Urdr, be sure of that. The lesser prince will fail, it is all he knows, all he is capable of. Thanos is not one to let failure go so easily."
"At least now your master has the Staff of Souls. With it he will be unstoppable, no souls can truly break it's grasp." The Other stopped walking and shook his head.
"Thanos was able to somewhat bend it to his will. The staff seems to be beholden to only one being. Right now against my protest Thanos has given Loki the staff. If it's true master returns..."
"It's true master has been gone for nearly thirty years. I doubt she will return. She might have wandered off into the endless void. No one has been able to find her. Thanos has nothing to worry about. Soon he will have the ability to go and retrieve the other stones. He will rule all."
"I do not share your confidence. I trusted you once witch and it lead me to this misery."
"That was your own doing. Your timing was poor and the one you wanted is dead because of it. I am not to blame, you are." The Other went quiet as he lead her up the stairs. Thanos stood at the end of a large rock platform. He turned and Urdr bowed. "You have summoned me Mighty One."
"I have. I need your sight of things to come. Will the godling succeed or will he fail?"
"I am keeper of the past...I can not tell you the future. My sisters know not what I have done. They claim loyalty to the fool Odin. They will not help us."
"And you claim not oath to this Odin?"
"No, my loyalty is to someone greater. I wish to see her reign over all. I tire of my toil and wish to see it end." Thanos' face split into a manic grin that made the Norn shiver.
"Are you sure the pretender is no longer a problem?"
"She has not been seen or heard from in many years. Her grief made her fade away. She will not return to claim her staff have no worries about that. Without her the fallen prince is your willing pawn." Thanos rolled his shoulders.
"Are you saying she is stronger than him?"
"She could have been if she had lived. The bloodlines she came from were some of the strongest in the nine realms. If she and Loki had been left together...I fear our little plan would have been thwarted long ago. My sister saw what could have been if they had been allowed to marry. Odin thinks his eldest son is the strongest...oh if he had only known. He was a fool to let her out of his sight and it will cost Asgard dearly." Urdr and Thanos both laughed. The Other stood away from them both and stared at his misshapen hands. A small pang of guilt sounded in his heart. It was replaced by a undying hatred. This hatred had kept him alive all these years and now it would help his finish what he started. Loki would fail and his only hope was that Thanos would let him be the one to kill the fallen prince.
OoO
Signey's heart was beating like a humming bird's wings as Loki carried her into the house. Their lips had not parted more than an inch since he had lifted her off the ground. She knew she should fear this, but she was more excited then scared. Every fiber of her being told her this was right. Loki quickly opened the door and kicked it closed with his foot. The bedroom was up a small flight of stairs and with his long legs he took the stairs in two strides. He gently laid her on the bed and she loosened her grip on him. Loki waved his hand and his clothing changed from his normal leather armor to a soft tunic and pants. He could have just taken all of his clothing off, but the undressing was half the fun. He wanted to savor this, to make it last. It had been far too long.
Signey looked up at him with a look of utter adoration and trust. He gave her a soft smile and leaned over her on the bed. He held his weight off of her as he kissed her deeply. One hand fisted in her hair and the other wandered down her body. His touch feather light and questing. It traveled from her neck to her breasts where he just skimmed the fabric of her nightgown before coming to rest on her hip. He had learned so much over the years on how to please a woman, even if he normally did not care about their pleasure. With Signey he wanted her to feel every pleasure he could bring. His lips broke from hers and he looked into her eyes.
"Jer elsker deg. (I love you.)" Signey's eyes went wide and she blinked back tears. Her hand that had been resting on his shoulder came up and caressed his cheek. His features were so soft that she could not believe this was the same man she had taken home with her months ago. He looked so young and carefree in this moment. She smiled and her thumb brushed back and forth on his cheek.
"I love you too Loki." He swooped his head down again and claimed her lips. This kiss was heated and sloppy. Her hand slide from his cheek to his hair and tangled in his raven locks. When Loki finally came up for air he lifted her up a bit to rip the gown off of her body. He had to see her, touch her without impediment. Signey instinctively went to cover herself only to have her arms snatched away.
"Do not cover yourself. I want to see all of you." She blushed and bit her lip. Loki's eyes roved over her and his mouth watered. For a mortal body it was perfect. Her breasts were ample and firm, her skin was almost flawless save for a scar over her heart. His fingers traced the puckered skin and he felt her shiver. "Where did this come from?"
"I've always had it. Amma said it is were the Gods touched to fix me when I was born." Loki nodded and took her hand. He moved it to run under his tunic and ran it along the scar that was just a little to the right of his heart. "What happened? I saw it before, but never thought to ask."
"I received this the day I lost my heart. The day Sigyn died. The man who killed her...it was me he wanted dead and she got in the way. His blade went through her heart and from the force of his attack came through her body and nearly pierced mine. I never thought,...love was never meant for me Signey." He sat up and looked away.
"Every one deserves to be loved Loki. It was the other person's fault not yours." The sincerity of her words made him look back at her. She was now sitting up as well and her hand laced with his. "I wish I could take away all the pain you have endured..."
"You can't, but I am glad you feel that way. I love you, despite all I have done to push you away, all I have said in anger, you have stayed. Why?"
"I know you didn't mean those careless words. You were in pain and you lashed out at anyone that you could. I did the same thing after my father died. My whole world shattered and I have a feeling when you came to me at my dig site yours had too. Nothing can fix the past Loki, we can just move forward." Signey kissed the scar near his heart and Loki's eyes fluttered shut. It felt like the ice around his heart melted away. Her lips washed all the pain away. He felt the bed shift and opened his eyes. Signey was now straddling him, her one hand moving to pull his shirt up and off of him. "Right now it is just us. There is no past, no pain and nothing else that is not in this room matters." She pulled the shirt up and over his head. Her lips placed light kisses on the scar again as her hands mapped the planes of the rest of his chest and shoulders. "Min kjaerlighet. (My love.)" The look on Loki's face could have broken her heart. He looked hopeful, scared and a little lost. He leaned into her and let his head rest against her chest. The strong steady beat of her heart made him sigh.
"Am I?"
"My one and only." She lifted his head up and looked deep into his eyes. "I want no other, need no other." Her lips met his again. This kiss was far from sweet or even sloppy. It was hard and possessive. Her ferocity surprised him a little. She had a ornery streak, but this was far above that. It was almost like she was trying to push away all his pain with one kiss. She shifted her legs a bit so she could rock her hips against his while she kissed him. Loki grinned into the kiss and splayed his large hands against her back. With a swift motion he rolled them so she was underneath him. A small high pitched moan sounded from her, but their lips never parted. With one hand he cradled her neck and held the bulk of his weight off of her so his other could rip the flimsy fabric of her under garments. A low moan rumbled form her and he smiled into the kiss. Once the tatters of her panties were thrown on the floor Loki began working on the ties of his trousers. Her hands joined his in pulling and pushing the last barrier between them off. Kicking them off Loki let his weight settle over her as his other arm wrapped around her back.
Signey spread her legs so he could fit between them. Her breath hitched at the feel of his skin against hers. Loki broke the kiss and moved his lips to trail down her jaw to her neck. Her fingers tangled in his hair as he nipped at her pulse point. Every time his teeth scrapped her skin her hips bucked against his. The friction made him hiss and grit his teeth.
"If you don't stop doing that darling I will lose control and take you as I see fit. I don't want to hurt you." She smirked and rocked her hips again.
"Hurt me, I might like it." Loki was lost for words. She was goading him and he was not sure how to take it. He was use to being egged on in battle, but not in bed. After a moment his lips formed a smirk of his own and he bit harder at her pulse point. The sound of a pained gasp made him grin until she raked her nails on his shoulders. His muscles shuttered at the pain, but after all Thanos and the Other had done to him this pain was sweet. He worked her tender flesh with his teeth a few moments more before moving back up to her lips.
"If it is pain you want my lady I will more than oblige, but that can wait for another time. I want you to enjoy this, feel vast pleasure before we add in sweet pain. There will be plenty of time for more devious carnal pleasures later. Now behave or I will stop." She nodded and let him kiss her sweetly again. His hands ran down her body touching places that no man had ever touched. Her lips became harder on his as his fingers began exploding her folds. The silky wetness sent blood right to his cock making it almost painfully hard. Signey's body bucked at the feel of one finger sliding into her. Loki worked slowly starting with the one finger then adding a second a few minutes later. He broke the kiss so he could watch her eyes roll back into her head as he dragged his fingers in and out of her. His thumb began to circle the bundle of nerves that made her body start to quake. The sensations she was feeling set all of her nerves on fire. The room felt too hot and all she wanted was to be back out in the snow while he did this to her.
Loki moved down her body while his fingers worked their magic. He planted soft kisses down her throat, between the valley of her breasts, to her navel where he let his tongue swirl around inside. The hitch of her breath told him all he needed to know. If she was enjoying his tongue now what would she do when it was used on the small button of nerves at the apex of her quim. Leaving her bellybutton he feathered his lips down her one hip then the other. He took one last look up at her face seeing her eyes were still closed and her mouth open letting out soft moans. He left his fingers inside her, but moved his thumb before his tongue took a questing lick. Signey must have noticed the difference in sensations because her hips bucked and she squeaked. He felt her try to back away from his touch, but he held her down firmly.
"Lo...Loki..." He looked up from between her legs and all she could see were the top of his head and his eyes. The pure look of lust in those blue green eyes held her and she let her head flop back onto the bed. Loki began to move his tongue again around her clit bringing sounds out of her that were music to his ears. Her hands gripped the headboard of the bed to stop herself from thrashing about. It was too much for her to bare, his fingers and his tongue working together bring her higher and higher. She felt something coil in her belly and tighten to the point of being almost painful, but oh she was beginning to love the feeling. The slow movement of his tongue was driving her mad. Her head thrashed back and forth as sighs and moans sounded in the room. Loki crooked his fingers and rubbed her inner walls just the right way and she shrieked. Quickly he sucked on the tiny bud and moved his fingers once more to make her come undone. He watched her back arch and head dig deeper into the mattress as her mouth opened in a silence scream. Her inner walls convulsed around his fingers and he pulled them from her to replace them with his tongue. He lapped at her gently letting her come down from her climax. Her taste was intoxicating to him. When the flutters stopped he slowly crawled back up to the head of the bed to look over his good work.
"Signey?" One eye snapped open and she let out a shaky breath.
"Gods..." He let out a chuckle and kissed her temple. "I...never in my wildest dreams thought..."
"It is only the beginning." He kissed her and she could taste herself on his tongue. It wasn't unpleasant like she thought it would be. "Are you ready?" She swallowed hard and nodded. Loki shifted over her and settled himself between her thighs. She felt the root of him against her and shivered. His hands moved to hers and their fingers laced. They stared into each others eyes while he slowly slid into her tight heat. Her body protested the intrusion a bit, but in the end it relented. He pushed passed the barrier that marked her a virgin and fully seated himself within her. Signey bit her lip so she would not cry out in pain. It hurt, but the care he took to prepare her made all the difference in the world. Loki shifted his hips a little trying to gauge if she was ready. Her hips moved to echo his slight thrusts. Her hands moved from his to grip the skin right above his ass. She pulled him closer to her as they rocked into each other.
Loki's eyes slid closed as he relished the feel if her body against his. He had had many women in his bed since he had lost Sigyn, but to him it was just sex. It was about his pleasure not theirs. Most were servants, or women that he had found at the taverns. Even Angrboda whom if he was truthful with himself held a small piece of his shattered heart was nothing compared to Sigyn. Here, like this he felt the thread of the bond she had made all those years ago. The ring on his finger felt like a charge was running through it. He had never told anyone about the spell Sigyn had cast. It was his pain to bare, his and only his. In this moment he felt alive again. Her moans and pants in his ear, her body warm and slick around him, he was in Valhalla. The slow easy rhythm they had found soon wasn't enough Loki gripped her hips and flipped them over so she was now on top of him. He rose up so he was in a sitting position and placed his back against the head board. This way he could kiss her and watch her ride him. The sight in front of him was glorious. Her lips were swollen and red from their kisses, her hair with normally was up in a braid was loose and tangled around her head. Her skin glowed in the firelight and her eyes were wide open staring lovingly at him. Loki let his grip fall to the hips and he guided them into the rhythm he wanted. Signey's head fell back and her back arched in such a way that it gave him unimpeded access to her breasts. Bending his head down he took one of her nipples into his mouth. He worked it with tongue and teeth till she hissed. Satisfied with his work he moved to the other and paid it the same attention.
"Oh, gods...Loki..." He felt her body begin to tighten as it had before so he knew it wouldn't be long before she came. He let her tit fall from his wicked mouth with a vulgar pop and gripped her hips tighter. He guided them to move faster to the point she was bouncing up and down on his length.
"Come...for me...Signey. I want to...watch you...come..." He found it hard to breath, but damned if he cared. "Look...look at...me." Her eyes opened and she held his gaze as his thrusts became harder, deeper. She let out a loud moan and her body twitched as her climax took over. Loki felt her walls clamp down around him and he groaned. It was all he needed to send him spiraling over the edge with her. Signey rode out her orgasm and slumped into him when her body finally gave out. Her breath came out as pants and her head was spinning. Loki took the last bit of his strength and slid down into the bed with her still cradled against him. He could feel her heart pounding through the contact of skin and it made him smile. He kissed the top of her head while his arms wrapped around her lovingly. They lay there for what seemed like hours in silence just basking in the aftermath. He had almost drifted off when he felt her move her head from under his chin. He peered down at her and saw her eyes sparkle as she looked at him. "Are you alright me love?'
"Never better." She laced her fingers with his and settled back down against him. "Jer elsker deg Loki."
" Du eier mitt hjerte og sjel Signey. (You own my heart and soul Signey.)" Loki lifted her left hand and let his fingers rest right near the spot where the binding ring should have been. He felt the echo of it's magic, but it was so faint. "I want to do something, but I am unsure you are willing." Her face turned up to look at him again and she gave him a quizzical look. "It is a spell to make our bond stronger. It will ensure that no matter what happens I am yours." Signey sat up a bit and tilted her head.
"You...would do that...for me? Why?" He brought her hand to his mouth and kissed her ring finger.
"To tell all the realms that I have no other woman. To prove to you that you are not a conquest, that you are my equal." She looked away for a moment and let the thought mill through her mind. She knew she loved him more than she could possibly put into words. She felt they already had a bond or she never would have done this. Her solitude and work were all she had cared about till he came crashing into her life. If he was willing to do this, knowing she had at most another sixty years left in her lifespan then maybe...could he truly love her the way she loved him? It was scary and crazy, but also everything a girl could wish for. A dark prince wanting to sweep her off her feet and hand her the worlds on a silver platter.
"What...do I need to do anything or..." Loki hushed her with a kiss and shook his head.
"The spell requires only energy that I am willing to give. Do you agree to this?" She gave a quick nod."
"Yes..." Loki called his magic to his finger tips and said the words Sigyn had uttered the night before her death. This time though he said it in their native tongue instead of what Asgardians called common speak. "Vi er bundet, hjerter henger sammen. Jeg er din, du er mitt. Denne bond vil ikke bryte, selv ikke døden vil ryste. Til tiden opphører og verdener bøy. Vår kjærlighet vil ikke slutte. ( We are bound, hearts intertwined. I am yours, you are mine. This bond will not break. Not even death will shake. Until time ceases and the worlds bend. Our love will never end.)" The same silvery gray ring appeared on her ring finger as it had all those years ago. He looked down at his and saw it glow as it was close to it's mate. "I meant every word Signey. The worlds could decay and die tomorrow and I would still love you." She looked at the dark metal ring on her finger and smiled.
"Fra nå og til evig tid, jeg er din. (From now until forever, I am yours.)" He leaned forward and kissed her softly before pulling her back down into the bed.
"Sleep my love, you will need your strength for our next bout of lovemaking. I plan on showing all the ways I know of to bring you pleasure." Her voice was sleepy and small, but he heard a hint of mischief in it.
"You promise?" He chuckled as he pulled the blankets over their nude bodies.
"Oh my dear, darling girl, we have only just scratched the surface of what I can do." Signey let out a small giggle that turned into a soft yawn. She nestled herself against his side and buried her head in the crook of his neck. For the first time in years Loki slept soundly. No nightmares, no whispers in his head, just her heartbeat and breathing. He would savor this because he knew damn well it would not last.
Holy Gods I hope this came out right. It has been a tough couple of weeks for me and I have to shake my muses the get them to work for me. My husband is away doing job training for a month and we have not been apart in over twelve years and to top it off just after he left his stepdad died suddenly a few days after he left. So life has been a big old mess. Thank you all for reading and adding this story and me to your watch and favorites lists. I hope to get back on the ball this and my other stories that I have. I hope that you all did not find Loki too sappy. I blame it on my missing my hubby, but I promise the evil Loki we all know and love will be coming back soon. Signey(Sigyn) brings out the mushy side of him. I know in the comics he hated her, but I am going more off the Norse mythology base that he did love her above anyone else. Again thanks for reading and your patience. Reviews are welcome as always just be gentle if you can.
