Hello! This is a very very VERY rough upload but i rather put something up and then work on adding detail and proof reading because that literally takes me forever but it does nothing for the plot. I'm sorry I write so slow I just keep shifting my focus for the plot but please allow this SMUT filled chapter to be my peace offering :-) Please review or DM me with feedback.

The hot steamy water hitting Zully's back felt like a massage that was long overdue. The shower felt heavenly. It had been a few days since she had a good long shower. It was actually her first time using her shower in her bedroom in Stark Tower. The whole space still felt like she was staying at a hotel room and not so much in her own bedroom.

The steam from her shower had fogged up the mirror but from the distance she could see her nude figure in the reflection. She looked down to examine her body as if seeing it for the first time. Her hands cupped her breast and then traced down her curves. She had a lovely figure that she rarely appreciated. Her stomach was flat but not lean or toned. Her arms and calves were strong from constantly hauling books and or old heavy documents all over New York City. She couldn't remember the last time someone truly enjoyed her body- besides Lorelei who didn't really count.

Once out of the shower she headed towards her closet where she left all her boxes of clothing. Apparently, someone hanged all her clothes while she was gone- she did not mind that one bit. Her fingers flipped through her clothes as she finally decided to wear light blue jeans with an oversized white tee and a cropped denim coat.

As Zully barged into the Stark library taking in its beauty, she expected to see Loki waiting for her behind a bookshelf. However, as she rounded the corner, she saw a familiar face digging through the shelves.

"Marv!" Zully shouted in surprise.

"Oh Zully." Marv wrapped her in a soft embrace. "You have not even an inkling of how much I envy you right now." Clearly, she was referring to Asgard.

"It wasn't that great you know." Zully muttered generating a wide eye look from her mentor.

"Oh, please don't lie to spare my feelings. I'm a big girl." Marv's hand rubbed on Zully's forearm.

"Eh- its complicated. Let's just saw we didn't go there on the best circumstances."

Doors opening were heard in the distance and as the two of them turned they saw Loki entering.

"Well what a delight Marv, I didn't know you'd be joining us in our research." He stated to her as soon as he reached them. Marv appeared elated to be in his presence, she smiled instantly as he reached for her hand and kissed the back of her palm.

Zully was surprised that he was dressed so…human like? He wore black slacks with an emerald green long sleeve button up. Just as always, he was without a doubt the most overdressed in any room.

"When I heard you procured various Asgardian texts for this very library, I had to see first-hand, but I'm afraid I can't stay" Loki nodded understanding. "Tony and I are working on a little something ourselves." She explained. Her sentence felt awkward as if she really could not say more than what she had already revealed.

"No worries Marv. I think Loki and I got this one anyway." Zully shrugged eying the god of mischief.

"Walk with me to Tony's lab?" The elder woman outstretched her hand and Zully nodded and took it as she began to walk with Marv. She suspected the woman missed her and/or was worried for her. Including holidays, the two had seen each other practically every day. Not only were they collogues but they were best friends, truly through thick and thin. It might even be bold but Zully saw her as a mother figure more than she saw her own mother.

They made small talk about Asgard as the two walked down lengthy white halls of the Stark tower. When they passed certain rooms of interest Marv chimed in what they were used for or who lived in the room. She seemed to have a strong familiarity with the Stark tower.

"Here's Tony's lab." Marv announced as they approached two large white lab doors. The tech on the door alone impressed her, she could only image the inside. "Before you go, I wanted to ask…are Loki and you.." Marv began as Zully's hands reached her mouth in shock.

"Oh my god Marv. NO!" Zully chuckled staring at the woman in bewilderment. "How could you even think that? Did someone say anything?" Zully wondered about the latter self-consciously.

"Nothing of that nature. I just….worry about you." Marv nodded her head, Zully could tell something else was troubling her.

"On with-it woman." Zully crossed her arms.

"God Tony is going to kill me for this." Marv closed her eyes cursing herself for not being able to keep anything from Zully. "I hope you don't find yourself…attached to him. If it was up to me I wouldn't be doing this but uh- Tony plans on keeping him here in Stark tower as his prisoner once his assistance is no longer required. He wants to find a way to turn his powers into some sort of weapon." Her voice was low and she continuously picked her head up and scanned the area for any oncoming visitors.

"What?" Zully stepped back in shock. "There is NO way Thor okayed this."

"The thing is, he did. Not knowingly at least, but since he's been so preoccupied with Jane, Tony was able to get him to sign over any rights that might have worked in Loki's favor."

"We can't just stand by-"

"We must. It's a done deal and Tony is already examining his scepter. Please don't tell Loki, I'm only telling you because I've seen the way you two look at each other."

When Zully returned she found Loki by a dark brown wooden table already covered in books, some open with markings on the pages and others closed in a stack. In the center of the table he had spread out the story book in which Odin's bedtime story resided in.

"Do you mind if I?" Zully slightly hovered over Loki wanting to read the pages from the beginning.

"Yes." He breathed practically ignoring her as he read with his fingers slowly tracing over the images as if in the middle of thought.

"Can't we just start from the beginning." She began to reach for the spine of the book until he firmly grasped her wrist slightly causing a pain.

"You didn't tell her about the aether being inside of you, did you?" His eyes finally met hers since she entered, and she raised a brow pulling her wrist from his grip. His piercing green eyes oddly looked so gentle.

"No." She admitted as if almost realizing it herself.

"Why?"

"I don't even believe it myself, so I didn't really want to tell anyone else and make it real." Zully sighed feeling frustrated with her damn self. "Sorry I don't know if that makes sense."

"Don't apologize." He stated as if he actually might care but then awkwardly went back to scanning the contents of the page he was on.

Zully slowly moved away and began to flip through the first pile of Asgardian texts that had yet to be reviewed.

After a few minutes had passed by, Loki turned to the book and then back at Zully, he raised a finger drawing her attention. "I have a theory," Zully's curiosity was peaked, "I now no longer find the contents of this book to be any part truth. The aesther was never destroyed as originally stated." He gestured towards Odin's historical texts. "What I do now know that I previously did not was that the aether was here in New York all along. Perhaps it needed some host body to stumble upon it and possess it as Malekeith once did, and now that-"

"Now that I have possessed it…he'll be coming to remove it from me"

"Not just you."

Zully's mouth dropped as soon as she realized what Loki's point was.

"Jane- she'll be free of the aether. But won't Malakeith want to return his eternal darkness or whatever he was trying to do when Bor stopped him?"

"Yes. I'd image he'd try to turn the Earth into darkness as this is where the aesther has led him."

"The convergence- I uh." Zully scrambled to pull through the books and find one in particular she had flipped through briefly in Asgard when they were in Loki's bedroom. "He will be weak!" She shouted reading the passage at once at a rapid pace that was barely even audible.

"We need to be prepared. We must know exactly when he is coming. It could be at any time during the convergence, it lasts a full 8 days. He has obviously been studying us through Lorelei and detecting which weaknesses to trigger." He seethed at the thought. "You need to try to communicate with Lorelei again. She would know exactly when."

"How do you expect me to do that?"

"In a dream, like you did in Asgard."

"It wasn't exactly JUST me who called to her in a dream- but whatever…let me give it a try." Zully rolled her eyes and stood up from the wooden table and walked straight for the couch that was nestled in the corner of the room.

She removed her coat she had been wearing all day to expose her white blouse. Her eyes trailed onto Loki as she felt awkward as he watched her begin her rituals of falling asleep. Her eyes softly closed, and she buried her head against the uncomfortable décor pillow.

"Could you maybe not stare at me." She growled as she opened her eyes after feeling like his eyes were burning into her body.

"As you wish." He scoffed and loudly turned the chair to the side so his back was to her.

At once she closed her eyes again and cleared her mind only thinking about meeting with Lorelei. Her calling out to her felt futile. Her mind was completely relaxed and yet as time went by there was no sign of Lorelei or even of sleep infiltrating her body. It could possibly be all the caffeine in her body or the fact that she felt as if she was on a deadline but she was simply too jittery to sleep.

"It's not working." Zully announced sitting up from the couch.

"You've barely had your eyes closed for a few minutes." Loki peered up from his book to meet her eyes. "Keep trying."

"No." She answered sourly. "I feel stupid. What am I even supposed to say to her. It's not as simple as your making it out to seem. What if you tried making contact with her?"

Loki stood from his seated position and slammed his book clearly annoyed. "Why are you acting like I am suddenly tasking you with the impossible. There is absolutely no logic in this. You've already done this back in Asgard." He hissed as he was not about to take her hostility toward him lying down.

"Why are you assuming this is easy for me?" Zully shouted.

"Oh come on, how hard is it to fuck someone and then get answers from them during pillow talk."

"Why the fuck can't you do this Loki? We've both fucked her why does it have to be me." She said laced with hostility. She couldn't help but feel as if it had something to do with the lack of her powers. She felt useless.

Zully could feel the hot tears lingering in her throat, she wanted to cry but she wouldn't allow herself. She wanted to release her anger.

"Because apparently I'm not her flavor of the month." His answer caused her head to throb. He was MAD.

"Flavor. What the fuck?" Zully said in thought. She groaned when she realized he meant gender and she reached for the nearest book on the table and tossed it directly at his chest. "And you think she's MINE?"

"I was not suggesting that." He admitted with a scowl.

"No." She walked closer to him. "You think I am enjoying this. You think I like the thought of pimping myself out to some evil enchantress." Her tone grew more and more accusational. "I haven't been with ANYONE sexually in over a year and you think this is what I wanted?"

"I'm sure there were no complaints when-" Zully didn't even let him finish his sentence, she knew what he was going to say and it drove her insane. She felt nothing but pure rage enter her system.

As she neared him her hands clawed at his neck and all she wanted to do was choke the life out of him. In the past she probably would've not caused any damage to him, but having the power of the aether in her, she saw him struggling as her fingers closed down tighter. As she realized what she was doing her hands released a grip and lingered on his neck. She softly exhaled over him as his eye trailed down her frame. She had a total of three seconds to react as she realized she was being flipped around and now he hovered over her with his ice-cold hands firmly against her neck It was her turn to gasp for air and struggle underneath him. His legs were over her hips to not allow her legs to kick or even move. Her hands instantly went for his face to try to get him to stop. As she squirmed underneath him one of the buttons from her blouse hooked onto a gold emblem detailing on his black coat. As she pushed back against him trying to use her legs to free her, the force of the pull on the button stretched the string holding them all together until it popped, and all her buttons rolled to the ground leaving her top open. The buttons sounded like marbles rolling off the table.

If Zully wasn't so angry she would probably feel exposed. She only wore a black lacy bralette underneath clearly not leaving much to the imagination.

"It doesn't feel very good does it?" He hissed directly in her face as she gasped for air and still lie underneath him. "Who do you think you are. I am a god." His breath fanned over her face due to their proximity.

It was then that she truly breathed his scent in. He smelt of woods in the fall with a hint of eucalyptus. It was a euphoric scent. Her face was so closely unintentionally nuzzled up against his body.

Their eyes burned into each other as both of them came down from their adrenaline rush. As their breaths softened to a slower rhythm, they could not drop their gaze from one another. Once Loki's wandering emerald eyes crept down towards her exposed chest, Zully knew exactly what was going to happen.

The moment their eyes met again his hand crept towards her neck once again as if to linger on the skin he had just inflicted pain on. She could see his mouth beginning to open and she knew he was going to apologize, she could depict the sforming for sorry beginning to form on his lips and immediately she wished he couldn't.

"I liked it." Zully stated unapologetically in a seductive tone. With an immediate responsive wicked grin Loki violently pressed his lips against hers and did not hold back. His hand gripped at her throat again only this time with the desire to seduce her versus to end her. Their bodies meshed against one another as his hand mercilessly roamed her body. Zully could feel his rock hard erection throbbing against her as she softly began to moan as he sucked on sensitive areas on her neck.

Between their passionate kisses full of heavy tongue and biting, his hands reached for her pants pawing at them clearly desperate to rip them off. As he unzipped her pants, Zully began working on the buttons on his coat desperate to see his marble skin. The two of them looked like animals desperate to ravish one another.

The moment Loki was able to rip off her blue jeans her legs spread underneath him as she was desperate for him to fulfill a strong need she had. He smirked between kisses causing her lips to rise as well. "You're so ready for me." He whispered against her neck causing the hair on the back of her neck to rise.

Loki's fingers made their way to her center, and she couldn't help but release soft eager breaths in anticipation. His touch on her inner thigh felt cool but pleasurable. Loki watched with a smile on his face as she twitched beneath him as his hands trailed closer and closer between her legs.

With one hand he reached for her underwear and tore them right off tossing them somewhere beneath the library table.

"Please" Zully begged as he traced her entrance teasing her sensitive bundle of nerves. With one swift motion his fingers were inside of her. She couldn't help but moan in pleasure as she watched his hands delve deep inside of her. He was rough but in all of the best ways.

"My my my little historian, you're absolutely soaking wet for me." Loki forced her to make eye contact with him as her eyes watered with pleasure. He briefly slowed his pace and switched hands as his other hand began to lick his lips and taste his fingers that were wet with her essence.

It drove Zully wild, she had never experienced something so erotic.

"Would you like some." Loki's fingers played with her lips as she nodded and allowed his salty fingers inside her mouth.

"More." Zully commanded as she felt she could not wait another moment without him inside her. "Please." She swallowed her pride and begged.

Loki pulled away from her briefly to remove his clothing with his sorcery. She gulped as she drank in his figure. He was hard and erect practically pulsing for her, he was definitely the biggest she had ever seen.

His hands roughly spread open her legs as she watched him align his member with her folds. Loki was not passionate nor gentle, the moment his positioning was aligned he forced himself into her not giving her time to allow her walls to expand against him. It was raw and rough, exactly how Zully liked it. She moaned underneath him as his pace began to move in and out of her.

It was a strange sensation of pain that jilted into her body. It was a euphoric pain that had her in ecstasy. Her moans turned into half screams as he continued to push in and out of her at a rapid pace. It was pure lust between them.

"Turn around." Loki ordered and instantly Zully obeyed getting on all fours still hot with desire. He immediately gravitated behind her and put his hands on her backside and caressed her beautiful curves.

Zully panted as she waited for him to enter her at once. This time his technique was much different. He entered her slowly and at first did very little movement as he pushed himself all the way deep inside her. He used her backside as a support and little by little pushed in deeper and harder and eventually quickened his pace.

This position sent Zully through the moon. She was shouting in pleasure to the point that anyone on the same floor as the library would instantly know what was happening. However, this caused her zero shame as the pleasure masked it entirely.

"Are you going to leave? If not, you might as well join us." Loki announced in a low tone.

Zully head shot up as she was on the near brink of an orgasm.

The sight in front of her startled her as she watched a completely nude Lorelei watching the god of mischief dive in and out of her womanhood. She couldn't even speak coherently to the point that when Lorelei neared Zully's chin and cupped it she allowed her to plant a sloppy kiss on her mouth.

Loki watched as he began pushing himself faster and faster into Zully.

"What are you-" Zully asked between moans. She couldn't bring herself to comprehend what was going on as most of her brain was held captive to the jolts of pleasure Loki was causing her. "Is this a dream." She asked as Lorelei reached for Zully's round perky breasts and began to softly massage them.

Before Zully could comprehend the fact that her body was giving into whatever she was doing she realized Loki was pulling out of her and pulling her backwards so that Lorelei could join in ontop of the wooden library table.

"Is this a dream." Zully asked again coming down from her high as she watched both Loreli and Loki with alarmed eyes as they clearly stared at one another without an iota of hate in each others eyes.

"It can be whatever you want it to be love." Lorelei mumbled before wrapping her arms around Loki's bare neck and bringing him in for a deep and long passionate kiss. Zully watched clearly with envy running through her veins.

"Hey-" Zully began but then was silenced by Lorelei's mouth as her tongue delved into hers as Loki eyed the two behind Lorelei's figure.

As Lorelei and Zully's kiss deepened she could feel Lorelei's mouth begin to open and close and release soft moans. Zully raised her head and she saw Loki with his hands on her hips enter her slowly.

"No, this is-" Zully pulled back from Lorelei and felt vulnerable and oddly enough jealous watching Loki dive into Lorelei without a care. They didn't seem to notice much that she was retreating at first, it wasn't until she reached for the nearest piece of clothing (which happened to be Loki's) that Lorelei grabbed her wrist and stopped her from putting on the blouse.

"This is exactly what you wanted." Lorelei said in a half moan. "What you bothwanted." Lorelei gestured back at Loki who was clearly very distracted.

"Not like this." Zully admitted looking back at Loki.

She stared at the veins bulging through his arms. His chiseled abs. He looked like a god.

"Yes like this." Lorelei's hand caressed Zully's face and as she stared deeper into her lusty eyes everything seemed to turn into a haze.

"Zully." Lorelei called out to her as Zully tried her best to murmur a response in her deep trance. "Thursday at noon."

That bitch. The next morning, even before her eyes opened and her body moved, she knew Lorelei was behind everything. Her body felt ice cold and as she opened her eyes she realized it was Loki under her that was causing her to feel that way. Both of them were completely nude and the only thing that slightly covered them was Loki's black suit coat.

Zully maneuvered around him leaving the coat on his body so when we woke he was not so indecent. It took everything in her to not look down at his body as she moved and draped the coat on him.

Her clothes were scattered around the table. All she could think about was the fact that someone could walk in at any second and catch them.

"Should we talk about what the fuck that was." Zully shuttered as Loki spoke behind her. She slowly turned as she had her back to him and immediately realized he hadn't even bothered to put on his clothes before alerting her.

"Oh-you're up." Zully answered awkward not wanting to meet his eyes but also not wanting to meet any other part of his body for fear of bringing up an unwanted memory.

"It was kind of impossible not to once you began making all this commotion." He neared her and out of pure anxiety she jumped back. He sighed and in that moment she looked up at his body unintentionally. She didn't want him thinking she was angry but she was so confused and it wasn't helping that his naked god like body was there in front of her.

"You alright dear?" His hand reached out as if to steady her as she looked at him lost in thought.

"Do you remember everything?" She asked desperate for a response.

"Bits and pieces. It's all a bit fuzzy, I won't deny that." His hand went to his temples as he softly began to rub.

"Same here, but- I don't think everything was her doing." Zully danced around saying her name almost unable to. "Loki…I think I really did want you."

Loki did not respond. He studied her quizzically. He was truly at a loss for words, he did not expect her to say what she had said.

Zully felt like a puddle of emotions. So much had happened in a short period of time and she kept trying to tear between the enchantments and what was real. It was all starting to blur together.

She nervously tied her blouse together trying to close a ripped blouse the best she could. Mentally she decided to leave her jacket and underwear wherever they were in the library when Loki's hand reached out to her and softly caressed her cheek.

"Does it calm your nerves if I tell you the feeling was mutual. I've been wanting to fuck you since the day we met." Zully looked up at his emerald eyes between her lashes and softly laughed.

"In fact, I could go for seconds. Where we actually remember the whole thing." Zully licked her lips and allowed for Loki's lips to press against hers. The kiss was soft and enchanting. It was the first kiss she would've wanted if she would've been given the choice.

As their kiss deepened and Loki's hand began to untie Zully's blouse off again. Once Loki's kisses began to trail down her neck and she was. Backed up against the wooden table the library doors opened.

Loki instantly manifested himself clothes but was not quick enough to pick his clothes from last night off the floor.

"Hello." Marv stated to no one in particular as she walked in. "I don't know how to tell you this but the library has cameras, interpret that as you'd like." She looked very much aware of what had transpired between the two of them.

Zully stuttered unable to make out a full sentence and Loki looked like he could care less but Marv did not allow them to say anything and she simply raised her hand shutting them up.

"I erased everything." Marv said as Zully audibly signed in relief.

I think for now I'm keeping Zully and Loki purely sexual and not letting them get emotionally attached although both of them are going through A LOT together right now and i think it's kind of impossible for the feels not to come eventually. Please review and let me know what you think will happen next? Will Marv be upset? Will Zully tell Loki what she knows and betray Marv? :-o AHH I can't wait to finish this fic, which should be in the next 5-8 chapters.
