AN: Here it is the chapter most of you have been waiting for ... Enjoy ! I will try to have at least one chapter a week Please Keep reviews comming ..
There were no grin or remarks of jest only his soft smile and the eyes that she dreamt of for so long filled with desire as he looked at her.
"Your highness, but how and why me"
His smile only grew wider
"You caught my attention as soon as I saw you at the table that night of the feast celebrating my father's awaking, the most beautiful woman I ever laid eyes on. I wanted to talk to you, but I was afraid I would intimidate you. I knew you were not accustomed to those surroundings, my mother informed me and Thor the arrival of a new healer and since I never saw you before I knew it was you. So I used magic to shape shift into the jester and gave you that rose."
How could she not have seen it, those eyes... now I know the jester had green eyes as well the same color as Loki's, but I never paid it any attention? That's why they seemed familiar to me not to mention the feeling I got when he kissed my hand twice it would seem, it was Loki the entire time and I never suspected, of course he is the God of Mischief, oh my here all this time I was hoping it was him and it is what now...
"However, it was only after hearing about your charming wit, and your passionate speech regarding your calling that really got my attention, so I continued to watch your kindness with others admiring from afar and discovered that you are kind, witty and spirited as well as beautiful. The day at the arena when you were the only one who truly congratulate me not out to gain attention, but because you respected my abilities you saw me as an equal. I have long defended my choice of magical study over close combat which my brother favors to more short -sighted Asgardians. I kept my eye on you whenever I could, each day I would wake hoping to see your smiling face. You are a true beauty Sigyn inside and out and if you would grant me one request"
He was inches away from her looking down into her eyes; he brushed a hair out of her face. Her legs were almost giving out from beneath her as she looked into his eyes her head fit under his chin perfectly, the heat generated by his closeness was too much for her.
"What would that be" she whispered her body trembling in anticipation knowing what his request would be
He smiled shyly "This"
He lowered his head and press his lips to hers kissing her with a sweetness she didn't think existed, but there was a passion that was being held back and failing each moment their lips caressed each other. Sigyn put her arms around his neck to draw him closer she needed more of him.
A minute passed or was it hours it didn't matter not to Sigyn or Loki it would seem; when they broke apart they just stood there holding on to each other like nothing else mattered. Her mother once told her that in your life there is one perfect moment where time stops and you wish with all your heart that you could stay within that moment,Sigyn found her perfect moment in Loki's arms.
Sadly reality set in and she hated to be the one to end it, but she had to say something
"Loki words can't express the joy I feel right now, you have captured my attention as well the first moment we met too. Your determination to prove yourself to others not in the ways of battle like everyone favors, you do not seek attention not in the same way like Thor and the others do. You have this quiet way of letting yourself be known. However, only when necessary, you're kind, thoughtful and I will admit I find your magic and mischief fascinating even if others do not. You will never have to prove yourself to me Loki, I care for who you are."
He drew her in for another kiss, but this time the passion was not held back and who knew how far either of them would go if the kiss continued. He wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her to him, he kissed her lips, then moved slowly to her cheek then neck.
Loki pushed himself away leaving Sigyn disappointed her cheeks flushed, and her soft lips swollen from his passionate kiss.
His eyes were darkened with passion and hunger just like they were the day in the healers chamber. Loki tried to regain his formal composure however, it was even harder now that he finally acted on the feelings he had been fighting for so long.
She tastes like cherries sweet and soft, her hair silky just like her skin. Those eyes deep and soulful I am completely at her will when she looks at me, does she not know how much she affects me. Loki thought
"I am sorry if I got carried away, I will not take advantage of your honor Sigyn. I am happy that you feel the same about me, you're wearing the pendant do you like it?" He lifted it up fingering it with his hand.
"Yes it's beautiful, I loved it when I got it ,now that I know that it came from you it will never leave my neck. But there is something I must apologize for"
"What do you mean?"
He does not know about the gossip regarding us in particular me ... but after tonight it will prove to be true oh what will he say, what will we do?
"I am sorry about this afternoon, I overreacted when I treated you for your injury. You sought my skills in healing and it should have been a compliment to my talent not an insult."
He looked confused then without warning started laughing, his laughter warm and deep.
"Oh Sigyn that was a bit of fun, especially when you're always so calm and collected like myself I knew there was a passion and fire in you. As I said before when I heard the speech you made with such passion I wanted to hear more of it the only way to achieve this was to make you believe that I saw you as an inferior like people see me. As for my behavior towards you I was not toying with you Sigyn, I wanted to be close to you and I finally had the chance my feelings got the best of me. I was not angry with you when you yelled at me, but mesmerized.
He went to kiss her again she would have welcomed it, but there was more to tell and she was afraid he would not be laughing this time.
"Loki I am afraid that there have been some unforeseen consequences as a result of my temper that will reflect on you, someone overheard me yelling at you and gossip has spread that you and I are lovers and that I am some unworthy village girl after a crown. It's not true I am interested in Loki not the crown and the title that goes with it just you."
Something dark flashed in his eyes and in his eyes she had to admit it frightened her a little, Sigyn bowed her head as she awaited his response
Well it was wonderful while it lasted after news of the scandal he will never want to see me, and I don't think the all fatheror Queen Frigga will allow it anyway
He lifted her chin and looked into her eyes as they were filled with shame and pulled her close running his fingers through her blond hair.
"I know all about it, the ones who started the gossip not to mention the nobles who insulted you in the hallway were reprimanded by my mother who does not want to have your reputation tarnished, she is impressed with your talent and service. Not to mention they had an unfortunate accident that was quite embarrassing which I will claim credit although I am not accustomed to admitting such things, but for you Sigyn anything"
It was her that kissed him this time with as much passion as he did when they stopped the look in his eyes and that smirk that drove her crazy clearly showed that he was surprised and loved her for it.
She laughed "Oh I would have given anything to see that, I bet it was quite the show did they suspect it was you?
Sif was right he does have eyes and ears all over the palace
"Why naturally because I was a subject of the gossip it is not like they can do anything about it. I don't think you will have to worry about further insults or next time I will not result to trickery they will know not to insult a son of Odin or his companions. Besides the warriors three were not happy when they learned of it and they would be foolish to get on my brother or Sif's bad side" He replied in a sharp tone before pulling her small frame close.
They continued to hold one another until they both realized that it was almost dawn. He helped her on the horse not before placing a rose in her hair and kissing her hand looking deeply into her eyes before releasing it. Sigyn sighed her hand tingled with pleasure, he mounted his own dark stallion and they rode back to the palace.
They decided to keep their relationship quiet until the rumors died down and they also wanted time to truly get to know one another without distraction from others. When they arrived at the stables and secured the horses, Sigyn noticed two guards patrolling the grounds if they were seen and word got out the gossip that was starting to be put to rest would restart worse than ever. She looked at Loki his face suggested he was thinking the same thoughts however, instead of looking worried he had a twinkle in his eye and a very playful grin on his face.
To her observation it would seem that mischief was indeed in Loki's very nature and the level of it all depended on what mood he was in, his face when she told him of the insults she received would suggest that she never wish to see the extent of it when he was truly angry. He was currently in a good mood as a result of their evening and confessions of feelings for one another so he wanted to celebrate by having some fun. Only this time he wanted to share it with her and she felt giddy. He told her to hide so she hid behind a pillar right by the entrance of the stable and peered outside where Loki outstretched his hand towards the two guards that were coming towards the stables. They were lifted into the air and fell face first into some horse manure, he ran into the stables pulling her to him and vanished when they reappeared they were in her chamber.
Sigyn and Loki were laughing so hard they could barely catch their breath, Loki's face was of such joy his smile was wide and infectious never did she think he could smile like that, it was the most beautiful smile she had ever seen. They sat on the sofa in front of the fire, Sigyn continued to giggle
"Oh that was priceless, did you see their faces and what you did to get us here was incredible"
He was gazing at her quite intently and took her hand in his stroking it their fingers intertwined as if it was the most natural thing to do, it felt right.
"You have the most beautiful laugh it pleases me that I am the one that is the cause, it's late and while I would love to stay with you for the rest of the night it would not be proper, before I go there is one thing I must do."
He leaned in a gave her a kiss it slow and sweet once again it was hard for either of them to pull away.
"How will you leave without being seen" With a grin he vanished. She got into bed with the rose still in her hair and fell into a deep sleep with a smile on her face.
There is much more to come ... Sigyn's relationship with Loki will have its challenges. I will be covering the events of the movie Thor and long after it ...
