Chapter 21

As the doctor said, Tony was out in two days. During those two days, Loki had done a lot of work on his book that he had to change a bit because of sudden changes in what to tell. His publicist was a bit nervous of the plot and thought it would be a bit dark, but in the end gave in when she understood that this was a story that the world needed, a dark story that told the truth. Tony worked a bit as well when he understood that Loki needed to work and there was nothing else to do. It sure made Pepper happy. Of course, they still shared those special mornings when they just lay close and woke up together until a nurse came in with breakfast for them. Pepper came over one day and told them that Odin had been brought in for questioning since he is seen as a potential enemy to Tony Stark. But they didn't have enough proof to keep him in custody and he of course denied it all, so they had to let him go. Odin was very quick on wrapping up his work in the US and went back to England with Frigga, not letting the mother say goodbye to either Thor or Loki.

Loki didn't know if he should feel relieved or scared that Odin wasn't in the same country anymore. He could, after all, still send someone to do his dirty work and it would be harder to link him to the incident if he was on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

Doctor Yinsen had taken the opportunity to check Loki's wounded on the hand and didn't apply new bandages, saying it could use some air and gave a few tips on how to handle a panic attack if he Tony wasn't around.

Tony and Loki stepped into their living room, Loki carrying their suitcase that had been brought to them by Pepper and Tony carrying the tablet and Loki's computer after his boyfriend telling him not to strain the wound.

'Welcome home, sirs. I'm glad to see your safe return.' Jarvis greeted them.

Loki gave a small smile as he went to their bedroom to leave the suitcase. "Aw, I've missed you too, Jarvis." Tony said and went straight for the kitchen to get some real coffee, getting better in the hospital sure slowed down the process with fake coffee. He placed the tablet and the computer on the kitchen island and walked over to the coffee maker that was thankfully done.

'You have 142 missed messages, sir.' Jarvis said and brought up a screen on the window in the kitchen, showing a list of people who wanted to speak with him.

"Delete all, if it's important they'll call again." Tony said and looked through the fridge for something to eat.

'As you wish, sir.' Jarvis said and the list disappeared.

Loki came into the kitchen and gave a small smile to Tony. He walked over to his computer and started it to check his mail. Tony walked over to him and wrapped his arms around his waist from behind and rested his chin on Loki's shoulder. "How's it going with the book? Can I read it?" Tony asked and ghosted his lips over the skin on the neck.

"It's going well and no, not until it's done." Loki said and turned in his arms, giving him a loving kiss. Tony's hand went down to the tall man's ass, squeezing it, earning a gasp from Loki. "Love, you just got out of the hospital." Loki breathed out as Tony went to mark the writer's neck.

"I'm fine… as much as one can be when extremely horny for you." Tony said with a smirk and grinds his hips against Loki's.

Loki grunted pleasantly by the wonderful friction that he wanted more of, but restrained himself. "What about your wound?" Loki tried, but was pressed up against the counter.

"Yinsen said it was fine." Tony said and then shut Loki up with a fierce kiss. "And we haven't done it in the kitchen yet." He murmured against the other's kiss swollen lips as his hand went down to massage Loki's growing erection through his jeans.

"Tony, please." Loki tried to squirm away from his horny boyfriend. When Tony just kept him in place and his hands started to unbuckled his belt, he just couldn't. "Stop!" Loki yelled and managed to get away this time because the genius was shocked. Loki made space between them by walking around the kitchen island and turned his back to the billionaire.

"What? Loki, what is it?" Tony asked a bit frustrated.

"I just can't…" Loki said and dragged a hand through his hair.

Tony took a deep breath. "Why? Have I done something wrong?" He asked worriedly.

Loki shook his head. "No… I just…" Loki let out a breath. "I still feel guilty, okay." Loki said annoyingly and turned to his genius.

"Loki… I told you to stop think about it. I'm fine." Tony tried and walked over to Loki.

"Yeah, you are… for now… I have put us in a dangerous situation and it's not fair to you." Tears were streaming down his face again and he really started to wonder if there might be something wrong with his eyes after all the crying. "He will try to kill you again and next time he might, actually, succeed and I will be left alone… I don't know if I could live without you anymore." Loki leaned on the counter and hid his face in his hands. He knew he was rambling and didn't know if the stuff he wanted said was said properly… or said at all.

Tony removed Loki's hands from his face and placed his hands on either side of his boyfriend's face and made him look at him. "Babe, I'm equally scared of losing you. You are as much in the danger zone as I am. I know what you are doing with your book and I am supporting you, but once it's out, he will want revenge." Tony said and felt a few tears escape his eyes as well.

"How do you…" Loki started confusedly.

"You thought I was asleep when you called your publisher. Besides, I have always known you write about us." Tony said and managed a smirk.

"Did you read my book without my consent?" Loki asked angrily.

"No… I just always noticed the way you look at me when you were writing." Tony said and laced his fingers into the black hair. "Back to the subject… I won't let him hurt you and I will try my best to stay away from danger… I can't bear the thought of losing you." Tony said with a shaky voice.

"But…" Loki was cut off by a finger pressed to his lips.

"No, let me speak." Tony demanded and continued. "We have come so far and been through too much to go separate ways just because your old man can't handle our love. We need to fight him and show the world what a monster he really is." The genius continued and stroked his boyfriend's sharp cheekbone.

"But, what if you lost everything… Your company and your friends… Just because of me." Loki said when the finger on his lips was removed.

"I will lose everything if I can't have you." Tony answered him truthfully. Telling Loki this was a big step for the billionaire, but it was true. He didn't care if he lost his company, okay, it would upset him to lose his friends, but that also depended on how he lost them. If they left him for not being true friends then screw them. But if he lost Loki, he would be right back to when he thought he had lost him the first time when the media made a lie about him cheating, locked up in the lab and drink until he died. But, he would not lose Loki or his friends, no, he would fight and protect because he was not losing the one who he can't live without.

"Tony…" Loki breathed out and one of his hands went up to hold one the genius hands that was on his face.

"Please, kiss me before I'm having a break down." Tony demanded and pressed his body against Loki's.

Loki leaned down and gave his boyfriend the most passionate, loving, heated kiss he could manage. His hands going up the genius back and pulled him even closer if possible. A tongue made its way into Loki's mouth and he didn't turn it away, he welcomed it with pleasure and he showed his pleasure with a moan. The tears that had lingered on their cheeks mixed together as they kissed. When they had to part for breathe, they stayed close by leaning their foreheads on each other. "You said we have never done it in the kitchen." Loki said a bit breathless. "Let's change that." He purred and his hands stroked over the broad chest.

"Oh, babe. You really know how to get me going." Tony said and started to pull on the t-shirt his boyfriend was wearing. Loki took it off and Tony pulled his off as well, hands feeling the new exposed skin, skin they knew so well and yet never got bored of touching. Their lips locked again in a feverish kiss. Tony moved Loki away from the counter and pressed his back against the kitchen island instead. It had been days since they had sex and it started to show in how they moved quicker then they usually did and were fully erect so fast.

"No foreplay, just take me now." Loki demanded and started to work on Tony's pants.

Tony's own hands went down to Loki's jeans. "Couldn't have said it better myself." Tony grunted as he pulled down Loki's pants, turned him around and watched Loki bend down to half lay on the island. Tony pulled down his own pants as well before he put three of his fingers in his mouth, coating them with saliva before massaging his lover's entrance with one of the fingers. He pushed one in and heard Loki gasp and claw on the marble island. The genius leaned forward, moving his finger in and out, laying butterfly kisses on his boyfriend's back, his other free hand stroking moving to stroke Loki's erection slowly. His boyfriend groaned and moved his hips, wanting more of the finger and the stroking, so Tony applied another finger and started to scissor him. Then the final third was in Loki and it wasn't long until Tony could fill his boyfriend up with himself. He pulled out his fingers and released Loki's cock as he lined himself up behind him. He pressed in slowly, gripping Loki's hips to keep him steady, both moaning in unison as they connected to one another. Tony moved slowly at first, relishing the heat and the tightness around his cock and the gasps and moans that came from Loki, who tried to grip something to hold on to, but found nothing.

"Harder." Loki said and pushed himself up slightly and just hanged his head down. Tony complied and started to thrust into him faster and with experience, he hit the special spot inside of Loki, causing him to scream and threw his head back.

Tony wrapped an arm around Loki's waist and pressed his hand on the middle of the lean, muscled chest and made him lean up to him, his back pressed against his chest. "I love you." He whispered and gave Loki a sloppy, yet loving kiss.

"I love you too. Now, fuck me." Loki demanded and leaned down again on the island, braising himself for the pleasure that was to come. Tony punched into him in an erratic pace, but it was not unwelcomed as Loki screamed of pleasure. Then an explosion went through Loki's body, seeing stars as he came hard on the island's wall. His body going limp and he lay down on the island and felt Tony do a few more thrusts and then his cum filled him inside, releasing another moan from his parted lips and he heard the genius moan his name as he leaned down on top of him, retaking his breath. After a few minutes of feeling their body going through bliss of the orgasm and then go back to normal, Tony pulled out of Loki and went over to the counter to get napkins for them to clean themselves up. They pulled up their pants and walked over to the couches and just lay down, wrapped in each other's arms, coffee and mails completely forgotten to the two men. Loki rested his face on the broad chest as Tony carded his fingers through the raven black hair that he loved so much, one of his most favorite activities on this planet. One of Loki's hands was on the genius chest, right on the reactor, loving to feel its life under his finger, reassuring him that the love of his life was alive.

"Isn't your birthday coming up?" Tony asked and looked down at Loki, who had closed his eyes. Loki only nodded as respond, on the edge of falling asleep on his genius. "Do you want a party?" Tony asked him with a smirk, knowing what he could pull off for his boyfriend.

"No." Loki whispered and opened his eyes. He looked up at his genius with a smile. "I want you to take me out on an all-day date." He said with a loving smile. "Just you and me." He whispered and pulled himself up so he could kiss his genius softly.

"Mm… That is something I could manage." Tony answered and gave Loki another kiss. The genius was going to set to work on planning the perfect date for Loki. He needed that, they needed it. After all these days of drama, they needed some time alone, time to feel like a normal couple on a wonderful date. Of course, it wouldn't be a normal date. Tony was going to make it spectacular and expensive, just for his Loki.

"You are already planning aren't you?" Loki asked with a smirk and slid a finger over the genius lips.

"Of course I am." Tony said and took the finger into his mouth and sucked on it. The genius could see Loki's pupils dilate and fill with lust once again. "Can you recall another place in this penthouse we haven't done it yet?" Tony asked and his other hand slowly stroked his hand over the naked back.

"Hm, we haven't done it in your closet yet." Loki purred and ghosted his lips over the man's neck.

"And I have always thought that the futon in there would be perfect." The genius answered and got up to lead his lover to the closet.
