a/n: I had planned on posting this far earlier today, however the internet is distracting and editing this chapter took much longer than it should have. Anyway, same warning as last time, mature content ahead! You have been warned.

Chapter 13

Loke's eyes widened in surprise but flashed in arousal. He pulled off his belt, followed by his pants, leaving him only in his boxers. Alaya could see the tent in his shorts and she looked away shyly. She really had no idea what she was doing.

Of course she knew the basics, and what everything generally looked like and did, but she had no first hand experience. It has simply never come up before, nor did she think it would ever be a problem. Hell, Alaya figured if she ever got this far, it wouldn't have been with someone as experienced as Loke. Maybe an average, on the quiet side guy like her, but not someone this experienced. Alaya simply hoped she didn't completely embarrass herself.

Loke pulled off his boxers so he was left laying next to her totally naked. Alaya's mouth dropped. He was huge! While she may not have had experience in this, she had seen a few naked men in her life time, and though she had never seen one in quite this condition, she was sure none of them were quite so impressive. No wonder he was so confident.

"Are you sure?" he asked, watching her reaction. Alaya could swear she saw something like smugness pass over his face.

Alaya nodded in response. She wanted to give him pleasure, or at least try. She looked down in embarrassment. "I don't know what to do."

Loke leaned in and kissed her again before taking her hand and sliding it down his abs. The kiss was warm, building the heat again. Alaya started to relax a bit again, feeling too dizzy to even fully comprehend what was happening again. God he was sexy, she thought as she felt the ropes of muscle that made up his washboard abs. When her fingers brushed his length she was shocked at how hot the skin was, and smooth.

Loke wrapped her fingers around himself before moving her hand up the shaft and back down. Her fingers didn't quite wrap around the full girth and she wasn't sure how on Earthland something like that would fit inside someone.

Alaya started to stroke his length slowly, exploring the feel of him. Loke sighed into her mouth, and nibbled on her lower lip. She ran her hand from base to over his head and he moaned. Alaya's heart raced as she listened to his reactions. She started to test what made him react more, changing her grip, teasing the engorged head, feeling the drops of liquid the formed as she touched him. Every moan and gasp he made tore through her, setting her body on fire all over again despite the earth shattering orgasm he had just given her.

"Oh god, Alaya you are so sexy," he groaned.

That finally set her off. "Loke," she breathed. She hadn't even noticed that she had started panting as well. Hazel eyes gazed up at her through hooded lids. His eyes were near slitted now like a cats, and even his canines were every so slightly extended. "I want you," she panted.

Loke kissed her hard, taking her breath away. His fingers slid down and brushed her through her underwear before he yanked them off. She distantly heard a tearing sound as he tossed them away somewhere across the room. His fingers started to slide over her heated flesh and she gasped at the sensitivity she still had.

He finger tip started to slide towards her entrance, slipping in just a little. "Loke..."

"Are you sure?" he asked, breaking their kiss. "Tell me now because once I start… I'm not sure if I'll be able to stop."

Alaya nodded. She'd never wanted anyone this way before, and now she felt like she needed him. The cat eyes, the teeth, the growling, she didn't care. Alaya just needed Loke.

Loke rolled them over so he was on top lining himself up with her entrance. "I'll be gentle," he said, pressing a kiss to her lips. Alaya trusted him. She may have only known him a few weeks but she really did trust him, with this or anything else. She knew he wouldn't hurt her on purpose. Despite being a playboy, he had shown her his caring and tender side, shown her companionship over the weeks, and had been someone she could confide in.

Feeling her fingers on him made Loke start to lose was little sanity he still had left. She was exploring him, but her teasing was driving him mad. She changed pressures, and when her finger tips rubbed over his sensitive head he couldn't contain the cry of pleasure. Only her breathy voice saying his name pulled his attention back from the sensations. When he met her eyes, he realized she was just as turned on as he had been listening to her.

"I want you," she whispered. The beast inside him tried to claw it's way out. It wanted to pin her down and take her hard and fast, but he couldn't do that to her, not her first time. Loke's hand slid down her body, going to touch her again. He brushed her through the panties before deciding it was time for them to go. He knew he had torn them in his eagerness to get them off, but god he wanted to see her.

She was slick and ready for him. He loved how she responded to him and that she was just as turned on by him as he had been with her. She was so sensitive and responsive, and it drove him wild like no other girl had.

Loke slid his finger inside slightly and found the barrier that he had expected. She really had never been touched before, not that he had thought she had been lying, he was just surprised. She was gorgeous, powerful, intelligent, sweet, caring, sensual, dedicated, sexy, and she simply captured his attention. How no one else had tried to sweep her away, he wasn't sure, he was simply glad no one had.

She sighed his name at the feeling of his finger and desire flooded his system all over again. But, he wanted to be sure. "Are you sure? Tell me now because once I start… I'm not sure if I'll be able to start." He didn't want to scare her, but he knew that once he was inside her, he wouldn't be able to stop the lion in him from making her his.

Alaya nodded and Loke rolled so he was on top of her. He positioned himself at her entrance and paused, staring at her face. She was panting, her curly hair tousled in a wild mane around her face. Her lips were swollen from kissing him and she just looked beautiful. He didn't want to hurt her, but he knew the first time always did at least a little. He also knew he was better endowed than most, which meant it would be more of an adjustment for her. "I'll be gentle."

Loke started to push in slowly. Alaya gasped at the sudden fullness. He laced his fingers with hers and cupped her cheek. He was hardly in when he hit her barrier. He wanted to get the painful part over with as quickly as possible. In one smooth motion he pushed through the barrier and slid all the way in. She cried out and he kissed away the tears. Alaya was so tight and soft, the lion in him clawed to get out, but her pain kept him in check.

Loke started to slide into her and his impressive size felt even bigger. She gasped at the feeling. Alaya felt the stretch, and almost a burning sensation, but no pain. When she felt him hit the thin membrane, he held her hand and cupped her face. His tenderness made her relax under him. She was sure he would take care of her.

Alaya felt Loke's hips thrust and his full length slid into her, taking her virginity. She cried out in pain. It felt like he was tearing her apart from the inside. Loke kissed away her tears and whispered words of encouragement to her while she adjusted. He felt massive inside her, almost too much. "That's the worst of it," he whispered. "I'll only make you feel good from here."

As she adjusted the feeling of fullness, the pain started to fade. Loke started to move slowly, only pulling out a little before sliding back in. His movements started to feel good. When he slid nearly all of the way out and back in, a moan of pleasure slid from her lips.

When she looked back up, Loke smiled down at her, his eyes full of lust. He started to move faster with full strokes. Alaya felt like she couldn't catch her breath. The pain was gone now and it just felt immensely pleasurable and full. Soon she couldn't control the noises she made as Loke slid into her and kissed her neck.

"Loke… Mmm… it feels so good."

"Yes, I want to hear you moan my name," Loke encouraged heatedly. His strokes had become faster, harder, hitting this spot inside her that made her claw at his back. "You feel so good Alaya, so tight," he growled. His eyes had gone completely catlike and his kisses had turned into nips at her sensitive skin.

Alaya felt the pressure building inside her again, the feeling like she was going to lose control or die of pleasure. Loke's movements were getting more frantic, his tongue thrusted into her mouth. Gone was the teasing, it was pure heated passion. "Come with me," Loke growled.

Alaya felt herself tense as the pleasure built up before exploding and screaming Loke's name. Loke roared in pleasure, a noise that most definitely wasn't human. Alaya could feel the hot spurts filling her. It wasn't like anything she had ever felt or even imagined feeling and it drove her orgasm higher. She clung to him as they rode the waves of pleasure. When it finally subsided, they were both panting and sweating.

Loke kissed her affectionately, pulling out of her slowly. Alaya gasped at the sudden emptiness she felt, already missing the feeling. He pulled her to his chest as he laid down next to her, nuzzling her neck. "How was your first time?" he asked.

"It was..." she blushed, "amazing. I didn't know anything could feel that good."

"Mmm, I'm glad you enjoyed it. You felt just as amazing." Loke brushed his cheek against hers, purring like a satisfied cat. He really wasn't human. She'd never heard a noise like the noise he had made, he sounded like a real lion in a roar of ecstasy, but she found it incredibly sexy.

"I… I'm glad it was you," she said and immediately felt like an idiot. "I'm sorry… that sounded.. lame."

Loke tipped her head to meet his and kissed her. "I'm glad too."

Alaya rested her cheek against his solid chest and her original fears started to set in. Now what? Loke had succeeded in getting her into bed, was he still interested? Did she just get played? Would he get bored and start his playboy ways again? He had said he wanted more but… maybe she had just been a fool. Maybe she had just fallen for his smooth moves like an idiot.

"Alaya? Hey what's wrong?" Loke said pulling her out of her thoughts.

Alaya hadn't noticed her eyes had started to water. It was true she had been rejecting Loke up until a couple days ago but it felt like an eternity now. She didn't want to lose him. She hadn't felt this close to someone in so long, not since Mystogan, and even that didn't hold a candle to the intensity she felt with Loke. It just felt like he belonged by her side. She trusted him, confided in him. Hell if he asked her to show him every detail of her past, she would.

"Did I do something wrong?"

"No, it's just… I can't…" she didn't know what to say. "I suppose everything will go back to how it was before?"

"What do you mean?" Loke's hazel eyes looked at her in concern, looking far more human then they had a few minutes ago.

"I mean, surely I cant hold your attention, especially after..."

"You don't still think that all I wanted was to get you into bed?" Alaya looked away from him. "Alaya, I'll be here until to send me away. I want you as my mate. I don't want anyone else."

"No other girls?"

"No." Loke looked dead serious, his fingers caressing her face.

"So… what are we?" Alaya had never done anything like this, but hearing Loke tell her, even after he had successfully gotten her into bed, that he wanted only her made her feel warm inside.

"We are partners, mates, lovers, boyfriend-girlfriend, sweethearts, going steady, whatever you want. I just want you as mine, exclusively, and I am yours." Alaya smiled and kissed him. Loke pulled her close, kissing her back tenderly.

"I would like that." She knew there were definitely complications to this plan. Loke was immortal and lived in the spirit world. He was spending a lot of time here, but he would need to go back to spirit world to refresh himself, or run the risk of disappearing. Alaya also wasn't sure exactly what her situation was. She hadn't aged in years, but that didn't mean she didn't have a normal lifespan. For all she knew the experiments would backfire and kill her randomly one day. The one upside is her ability to go to the spirit world. Of course, she hadn't spent a great deal of time there last time, a couple of weeks so she wasn't sure exactly how long she'd be able to stay before feeling the effects.

But all of that didn't matter, she wanted this. After a long life of mostly solitude, devoting her life to studying magic, honing her skills just to hunt down the man responsible for this, she finally found something that she wanted. Alaya had finally found a companion that would break her heart to lose. Sure she had missed the quiet company of Mystogan when he had left, but it hadn't been a big deal. If Loke left, disappeared into another dimension to most likely never be seen again… Alaya didn't even want to think of that. She also felt that she had finally met someone who may keep her sane. She dreaded the day where her unnatural power would start to flood her brain, and now she felt like she had something to hang on to.
