Upon arrival after tieing up the horse at the back Loki scooped you up effortlessly. He smiled at you with warmth and kindness and stared into you with his emerald green puppy eyes. You felt a tear run down your cheek as the sensation of happiness came over you.
"Hey now." he cooed "Don't cry gorgeous, you're too precious for that." Loki placed a kiss on your forehead and held you close to his chest. "(YN) look at me." as you did so you saw that he also was on the verge of tears himself. "I want to thank you for today..." he began "never have i spent my time better than with you (YN) and never have i spent any quality time with a woman that i have truly valued. I adore being in your company. If I were to be utterly honest with you, I don't know how to say this without sounding completely desperate. I need you (YN) you are amazing and I love you more than anything, and i will ALWAYS be here for you my darling." tears streaming down his face as he spoke those words you never thought you would hear a man say to you.
"Loki." you said, your voice barely audible in an attempt to hold back the tears. "You saved me, I can never repay you for that. Then after that you took me in when surely I would have the death sentence upon me for my father's death and gave me luxury and comfort I though only existed in dreams. With regards to you being in love with me, I never thought I'd be respected and loved by anyone, let alone the prince of Asgard! I believed and swore I would never love anyone but you have stolen my heart and I have no desire to have it back as I love you too Loki and I doubt that will change." the pair of you were in floods of tears as you lay in his arms.
"Right." Loki said breaking the silence "We should probably head in before it gets too dark." he smiled. You followed him inside hand in hand. "Barro?" Loki called out.
"Yes M'lord?" Barro answered poking his head out from inside the kitchen.
"Two dinner specials please. oh, and some wegia leaf syrup for (YN)." Loki smiled.
"Absolutely!" Barro replied "Oh and Loki, your a sly dog." he added. Loki laughed and Barro disappeared back into the kitchen.
"Whats that syrup? and why did he call you a sly dog?" you asked curiously clinging to Loki's arm.
"Well, to answer both your questions my love." Loki smirked "When we had sex you took in my seed so you must drink this syrup, if you do not wish to become pregnant with my child that is." he laughed.
"Oh." you gasped "i think that would be best. You're family don't really approve of us in the first place, can you imagine their reactions if i was carrying a future prince or princess!" you giggled. The pair of you began laughing hysterically at the thought of it and how funny it would be. You spent 15 minutes mocking and interpreting Loki's family and their responses before your food arrived. You ate a gorgeous meal of fish and vegetables with a variety of complimenting spices. Over dinner you discussed the books you both had read in the library. You were beginning to feel completely at ease around him, hearing him talk on and on was magical and this kind of in depth conversation made you feel utterly happy and comforted. After having eaten Barro brought over a warm mug of a pale blue liquid which had little brown flakes scattered throughout it.
"Sweetheart?" Loki asked placing his hand on your shoulder having noticed your hesitance to drink the syrup.
"Yeah im fine its just... what does it taste like?" you looked up at his reassuring smile.
"I have heard it is rather pleasant." he smiled.
"Ok" you nodded. you took a sip of the stuff and to your surprise was quite enjoyable.
"Be sure to drink it all (YN) it will work better if you drink every last drop." Loki instructed. You did as you were told and drank it all. "See." he smiled "Wasn't so bad." he said stroking down your cheekbone. you beamed under his touch and gave him a small kiss upon the lips.
After another few drinks from the bar you decided it would be sensible to retire to your room. It had been a long day and frankly Loki had taken your breath away. You climbed two flights of stairs before you reached your room. Well, you climbed one and a half and Loki carried you the rest of the way. Having entered you were quite surprised, the room was a fair size with good quality furnishings but it was by no standards remarkable like the palace. The floors and walls were all made of oak paneling and the ceiling was painted white but also made from the same material as the walls and flooring. There was a small bathroom with a basic toilet shower and sink. There were no extravagant paintings or designs and no luxury silks on the bed like you expected as this was Loki's usual room. You half expected to see an array of books stored somewhere but the most you found was three worn ones on the shelf by the door. In the middle of the room stood a basic double bed but it was obvious that Loki had paid for a new mattress as that was of excellent quality.
"I'd rather not the whole hotel hear me having sex so i bought this room a new mattress, you can imagine how fast rumors spread round these parts." Loki smiled as you ran your hand across the bedding.
"Barro knows about 't he tell anyone?" you asked curiously. Loki laughed.
"No. Barro and i have been Friends for many years now. He knows what he can make public and when he should keep his mouth shut on my affairs." he chuckled. You smiled in acknowledgment. "Come here." Loki smiled back. he took you in his arms and ran his fingers across your face and through your hair. "You are sooo beautiful and sexy (YN), you really have no idea how gorgeous you are to me." he said planting a kiss on your forehead as he held you close to his chest. You didn't say a word ,or rather, you couldn't. it was a perfect moment you didn't want to spoil.
