Second Chances - Chapter Fourteen -

As Tony's eyes opened the following morning, he found himself staring up at an unfamiliar ceiling and frowned. It took a moment for his memory to come back to him but he remembered as soon as he felt movement in the bed. He grinned widely as he turned over to look at the back of the god of mischief's head.

'I've kind of just slept with the enemy, but honestly I don't give a shit. Last night was awesome!" Tony thought as his eyes lowered from Loki's head, down his back, until his gaze rested on Loki's bum. He licked his lips and was about to wake him up but unfortunately natured called first.

He got up carefully, so as not to wake him, and then tip toed into the small ensuite bathroom. After using the toilet, he walked back out and took a minute to look around the room, seeing as last night he hadn't had the chance to take a good look. Tony nearly laughed at the amount of books that were scattered around the room but he was surprised at the amount of books that were from earth.

'Guess he likes reading then.' Tony thought as he picked up a copy of Lord of the Flies. 'Probably why he works in a book shop.'

He glanced over at Loki and smirked when he saw him roll over in his sleep onto his back, the covers falling slightly from around his hips and exposing his lower half to the now hungry eyes of the billionaire. Tony climbed carefully back onto the bed, moving so that he knelt either side of Loki, propped up by his elbows, before leaning down and placing a chaste kiss to his lips.

Loki's face screwed up for a second as he groaned and opened his eyes. It took a few seconds for him to awaken fully before his eyes came into focus on Tony's smirking face, just inches from his.

"Mornin' Princess."

"What did I say about the nicknames Stark?" Loki said back with a glare then grinned seductively as Tony lowered his head for another kiss. When they parted again, Loki leant his head back onto his pillows and moved so that his hands were behind his head as Tony stayed hovering above him.

"Last night was awesome." Tony said as he started to kiss down Loki's body slowly, placing his lips tenderly to any bit of skin he came across as his face descended down his body.

"Mmmh, you were certainly excellent Anthony."

Tony shivered as pleasure coursed throughout him then looked up to capture Loki's vibrant green gaze. Wow his eyes were so green...

"I love it when you call me that. It sounds so..." He moved up again so that his face was inches away from the other. "Sexy."

Loki's eyebrow rose which then turned into a smug grin. "Yes, that was intentional Anthony." He grinned when Tony shuddered again. "Plus it suits you more."

"It does? Well, no one else calls me 'Anthony' so I guess it's a special thing between us." He replied then frowned at how corny that sounded but shook it off then grinned at Loki suggestively. "So what do you say we get in another round or two before breakfast?"

Loki sent a suggestive look back and whispered against Tony's lips, "Sounds delightful." before he laced his arms around the billionaire's neck and pulled him back down into a kiss. Tony grunted in surprise then grinned and kissed back hard, involuntarily thrusting his now half hard erection into Loki's body which made said man gasp.

Loki then surprised Tony by flipping their positions and kissing down the man's body. Tony's eyes widened in surprise but then closed as Loki's mouth attached onto one of his nipples. He gasped and arched his back slightly which made Loki smirk.

As Loki's hands started to run down Tony's sides, making a line towards his cock, they both jumped when there was a knocking on the door.

"Shit, Thor!" Loki hissed then got off Tony and stood, pulling him up with him.

"He's here this early?!" Loki asked himself with wide eyes. "Fuck! He can't see you here!"

"Damn straight he can't! He'll kill me!"

Loki thought for a second before pulling Tony by the arm into the bathroom and shutting the door. "Stay in there and be quiet until I say its safe okay?"

Loki didn't hear a reply as he was too busy pulling on a blue t shirt and a pair of grey jogging bottoms. After making himself decent, he ran to the door and opened it to reveal Thor looking happy as ever.

"Brother! How are you, I have been busy the past few days with S.H.I.E.L.D business so I have not had the time to visit I am afraid." Thor gripped Loki tightly in an embrace then let go and walked past him into the small apartment.

He looked around with a smile then turned to Loki with a confused smile as he noticed the door still open. "Is everything okay Loki?"

"Yeah, everything's fine. It's just..." he was cut off as the two heard the faint sound of something crashing. Thor's features darkened as he snapped to attention and looked at the bedroom door.

"A intruder! Do not fear brother, I shall sort this." He said surely as he began to walk over but Loki was quick as he ran to grab Thor by the arm.

"No wait Thor! Do go in there I have... Company, and they aren't decent."

"Oh?" Thor said and folded his arms as he came to a stop. "What's her name?"

Loki nearly snorted when Thor assumed that he had slept with a girl. But Thor didn't know about his preceded bed habits so he thought quickly on the spot to think up a fake name.

"Annnn...na. Yeah, her names Anna." He as quickly then held his hands up and smiled reassuringly as Thor gave him a smug grin.

"Oh aye?" He said as Loki nodded slowly. "Loki, you sly dog. Well in that case I shall leave you to it. Have fun, and make sure to introduce her sometime!"

Loki smiled thinly then leaned his forehead against the door after closing it behind Thor. After sighing then waiting a second, he turned around and had to do a double take when he saw Tony.

He was still stark naked but was leaning against the door frame to his room and grinning. He was posed so that his ass stuck out to the side and one arm rested above his head on the frame. Loki sighed then shook his head and walked over to him. "What would you have done if Thor had seen you like that?"

Tony shrugged. "His loss, your gain. Now why don't you come back in here and I take all those silly clothes off the ravish you?"

Loki rolled his eyes then pushed Tony into the room behind him. "Sure. Let's go Anthony." he said then slapped Tony's ass cheeks playfully as he disappeared back into the room, shutting the door behind him as they returned to the bed.

oOoOoOo

Within the next few days, Tony went to visit Loki every second he could spare away from his work and the team. They had spent every evening with each other, watching a film, playing video games on a Wii that Thor had brought for Loki and even cooking for each other on one night. Well, Loki cooked; Tony just watched and tried to distract him.

And then there was the sex, which they had more than just indulged their selves in once or twice. Although to lessen the suspicion and chances of Thor catching them, Tony hadn't stayed the night again. Loki had also told Thor that in the evenings, he felt too tired from work so switched his meetings to the mornings. Either that or he met up and spent time with his brother before Tony.

They had a pretty good system going. But it wasn't long before the Avengers noticed something was up with Tony, especially Natasha, the super spy.

"Where are you going Tony?" She asked one evening when the gang had gathered on Tony's floor for Chinese. Tony was about to sneak out to see Loki, as Thor had just returned meaning it was safe, but stopped to send an annoyed glare when the entire team and Pepper turned to look at him.

"Just out." He replied, avoiding their questioning gazes and carrying on walking to the elevator.
"To see that person you've been sneaking out to see since last week?"

Tony froze. "Uh, what?"

"C'mon Tony, we've all seen you sneaking out of the tower this past week, who are you seeing?" Clint asked, not even slightly fazed by the glare from Tony.

He sighed. 'Might as well lie to get them off my case' he thought then scratched the back of his head. "Just my err, girlfriend."

"You have a girlfriend?" Pepper asked in a happy tone, her face lighting up as Tony nodded slowly.

"Uhh, I do."

"Bull! You're seeing Jack, aren't you?"

The whole team turned to Natasha with wide eyes as Tony gave her a double take.

"Excuse me?"

"If you were seeing a girl then you would return smelling of women's perfume and maybe even have a few lipstick smudges on you face and neck. The fact that i noticed you've been smelling strongly of a different men's aftershave than you usually well tells me that you have been spending your time intimately with a man." She said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Tony's jaw had dropped at her detective skills. When did she take the time to notice what sort of aftershave he wore? Thank the gods she hadn't put it all completely together.

"And seeing as you only met Jack two weeks ago, he seems the only logical option. Unless there's someone else you've met...?" she raised her eyebrow at Tony, as did the others, which made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

"Uhh well..." 'Might as well go with this, then they'll get off my back and I can go and see Loki.' "Fine. Yes I am."

Natasha smirked knowingly. "Knew it." and the rest of the team gave him very different expressions.

Pepper looked as if she were about to burst with happiness, Thor was grinning so Tony guessed homosexuality was not unusual on Asgard, Bruce just smiled, as did Clint but Steve looked appalled. Well, he did come from the 1940's - a time where being gay was considered a crime.

"Wow, I would never have guessed that you were gay man." Clint said with a chuckle.

"How's that funny?" Bruce asked, standing up for Tony who just raised his eyebrow at the man.

"No it's just," Clint smirked. "Never would've guessed that 'notorious ladies man Tony Stark' really batted for the other team!"

"Hey, I still like women too y'know, so I'm not all gay!"

"That's what they all say." Clint said with a wink.

"So when will you bring him to meet us Tony?" Pepper asked.

"Never." Tony said then tried to leave but was pulled back when she spoke again.

"Why not?"

"Uhh he's..." 'C'mon think Tony, think!' "Shy. Y'know, dating a world famous billionaire super hero, so he's bound to be a little on edge around you guys so I'm not introducing him anytime soon."

There was a moment of silence, everyone sitting and contemplating all of this information when Clint suddenly asked, "Who bottoms?"

"Clint!" Natasha scolded then paused and cocked her head at Tony as if looking for him to answer.

Tony gave them all an incredulous look then shook his head and walked out of the door, no one stopping him this time.

"Bet'cha it's him." Clint said before they all went back to eating.
