Loki's dreamer: happy you enjoyed both of yesterday's chapters.

No Vacancy Mind: oh they will have lots of fun. :p

Doctor Loki love: yup, words in the bedroom can but just as harmful to the heart. Confusion shall in sue. Hehehe. Come on now why can't a guy just want a date without being a bad guy?! :P and Cairo's answers were more the ones she gives because she has to. Neither her or Loki have declared their relationship solid or even existing outside the bedroom so no point in hyping it up. Ahhh the confusion of two people in denial.

Sorceress of the trees: haha love your cough cough. Yes Loki in jeans will be sexy. Please don't fall off your chair though I'm happy I tricked you.

The 13 conspiracy: you write me via Pm and I'm not sure if you want this fic but if you are reading this I am glad you like this one and I hope you'll give other I have written a chance. :p

Chapter 21

Cairo was awake before Loki and had removed the outfit from the night before. Her hair was tangled but not too bad. She let Jarvis wake Loki while she managed her curls. "Cairo." He said her name hazily.

"I'm in here." She called out.

"Are you dressed already?" He asked and she heard the bed creak. She smirked into the mirror shaking her head at his inquiry.

"Kinda." She said. She had slipped into her bra and underwear already. He appeared in the doorway a moment later and looked her over.

"I was hoping for another surprise this morning." He teased her stepping behind her and biting at her neck. She shoved him away with a laugh.

"Behave." She told him. "I feel like I'm spoiling you." She told him and carefully untangled her hair. She'd get a shower later when he got home.

"Perhaps." He replied grabbing a comb and the gel she bought him.

"Oh I'd better tell you before you find out from someone else, I'm beginning to learn about your possessive behaviour." He gave her an intrigued look. "Yesterday at SHIELD a coworker hit on me." She said trying to make it sound like no big deal.

"Where did they hit you?" He asked slightly alarmed and annoyed.

"No." She said exasperated. "Hitting on someone means I got asked out on a date." She said rolling her eyes. She saw Loki stiffen. "I turned him down. He wasn't my type." She added quickly. He was really touchy. She was kinda touched by his jealousy.

"I'm glad you told me." She saw him thinking. "I want you to be careful if you need to return to work for any reason." He finished his hair and turned her to look at him.

"Why?" She asked.

"I've been thinking, what makes SHIELD so safe? Who's to say spies are not lurking among them. I do not trust anyone right now aside from those I've met before. I want you to stay away from there if you can help it." She nodded and he let her go.

"I'm going to text my stalker later. Try to get a phone call to my brother make sure he's alive." She told Loki.

"Wait for me to get home." He said and she agreed. Together they got dressed. Loki slipped into the jeans she had compromised him into wearing. She had changed out of her bikini the day before and went with shorts to quell his jealously. She looked him over and found Loki in jeans to be very fitting. His ass nicely shaped beneath the taunt fabric. When they got downstairs Sydney was pulling on a thin jacket and Thor was waiting next to her. Thor looked good in earths clothing. Sydney took a moment to appreciate the sight that was sexy Loki before looking at Cairo.

"Where are you going?" Cairo asked her sister.

"Director Fury offered me a chance to do some medical work for them." She said. Cairo felt speechless. She looked at Loki worried. To her surprise Loki bent down and kissed her in front of her sister and Thor.

"I'll keep and eye on her." He told her letting her go. Sydney gave Cairo a smirk making Cairo glare at her.

"Go. Have a good day at work." She said and ushered them both out the door. Cairo stood in the doorway and watched the car leave.

Cairo sighed and walked into the room and flopped onto the sofa. Cairo was a little overwhelmed by Loki's public kiss. She wondered if her words brought on by sexual emotions put ideas into his head. She liked Loki but she had been trying hard to not let herself get attached. Moves like that made it hard to not get attached. She was sure if he asked her tomorrow to be his one and only she would drop her walls and jump on it but as neither had offered such an option she kept those walls firmly in place.

When she was in the room with him, in his arms she allowed herself to open up to a degree. Allowed herself to enjoy him however she could. She felt free to say whatever she wanted to him there without worrying about the complications but it seemed perhaps that was a bad idea. She wondered if she started a new trend. She was aware he liked kissing her. She teased him with it last night but she hadn't been aware he liked it that much. She wondered suddenly if he knew that those kinds of things displayed in front of others happened when you were dating not so much just fucking. Cairo would mention it later. Right now she was bored stiff and she hadn't been alone for fifteen minutes yet.

Cairo let herself fall sideways with a huff of breath. It was then she heard the house doorbell and waited. She wasn't about to answer the door herself. Tony emerged from downstairs, his usual spot and answered. Another SHIELD agent came in. Cairo sat up straight once more. "What's going on?" She asked as Tyler and Tia came downstairs.

"We're going to your parents. Your boss has promised us safe travel there and protection. I think it's best to get Tyler away from all this..." She struggled to find a word. "Craziness." She finished after a second.

"Oh." Was all Cairo could think to say. She had thought they would be staying. "When did this happen?" She asked feeling left out of a few things today.

"I made a request yesterday and he called me here an hour ago." She said. "It was nice to see you Cairo. I'll tell your parents you're well." Cairo frowned. She kinda felt lonely.

Tyler came to Cairo and gave her a hug. "Will you come visit Aunt Cairo?"

"I will later." Cairo promised. She really should visit family more often. She hadn't realized how much they meant to her until her brother was kidnapped. She was happy her parents were going to have time to spend with their only grandchild. She knew they would enjoy that. Tia's parents had died four years back in a car accident.

Cairo watched them leave with a few more goodbyes as they entered the car with the Agent. 'Craziness'. Cairo thought of the word Tia used and sighed. It was all crazy. "Hey Tony..." Cairo turned and he wasn't there. "Jarvis is he gone back downstairs?"

"Yes miss." She glared at nothing and found her ass hitting the couch for the second time that day. Apparently boredom took a toll rather quickly she fell asleep and woke up two hours later, still alone and slouched on the couch. Cairo groaned and got off the sofa. She went straight for the panel that would allow her access to downstairs.

"Jarvis I want to get down there." She said.

"I'm afraid only authorized access only may enter." He said.

"Fine, be that way." She said and turned on the panel her fingers doing her work for her without much thought. Stark was her only house company right now and she felt too lonely to stay upstairs by herself. When the door opened Cairo was amused. She hadn't finished what she was doing. The door had been opened by Jarvis, or perhaps Tony. Cairo slipped inside and descended the stairs quickly.

"Not cool." Tony said to her as she stood outside the glass that separated him. She could see he was working on a suit. All the pieces strewn about the floor and tables.

"I'm bored. You don't leave a person of my talents alone to get bored." She told him back. "Let me in Tony. I can be helpful." She said willing to do anything at the moment to get away from her emotions. Tony gave her a look.

"Helpful? Doubt it. Jarvis let her in." He said all the same and the door beeped open. Walking inside Cairo looked around at the large workshop he had down there. It was impressive. She always used to work on her bedroom floor. "You broke house rules." He told her.

"Not really I never hacked your system completely, the door opened on its own." She said amused.

"Close enough." Tony watched her looking around. "I thought you were planning on helping?" He said getting her attention back.

"Oh, yeah. Give me something to do." She said to him.

"Hold this." He said and before she had a moment to really comprehend the though she was holding a box of tools. Cairo looked down frowning.

"Not what I had in mind." She said. "I've built stuff too you know." She said. It was true. Sure she hadn't created things like Tony but she never really had the means before.

"Ah yeah, you asked me to give you something to do, I have. There is no pleasing you is there?" He said in that sarcastic tone he normally took with people.

"Oh there is you're just incapable of it." She said feeling a satisfied grin cross her face as Tony looked at a slight loss of what to say to that one. Cairo meant Loki of course.

"I'll have you know I have never had one woman complain." He told her.

"Probably because you were to busy praising yourself that you were ignoring what she said." Cairo commented.

"Huh...what'd you say?" Tony replied flipping over a piece of metal in his hands.

"You're hilarious Tony. Look give me something to actually do to help you or I'm dumping this thing over your head." She told him gesturing to the box in her hands.

"You know I forgot what a temper you have. How does Loki manage to deal with it." He said taking the tool box away from her and passing her a screwdriver.

"He calms me with angry sex." She almost laughed because it was true. The one real fight they did have ended that way.

"Kinky. Whips, chains, muzzles? That kind of stuff?" He asked but didn't seem to really care for the answer as he was once again looking down at his plans and the pieces.

"Just teeth and nails." Cairo replied laughing. This was a much better alternative then staying upstairs alone. "Now what can I do." She said and stepped around him. She let herself look at the plans he had set up on one of his fancy holographic scenes.

"You see this area here?" He said enlarging it using his hands. "Think you could assemble it without being told what to do?"

Cairo looked it over carefully. "I could." She said.

"Ok probie. Lets test you out. Maybe if you're a good girl you can stay." He told her. Cairo didn't respond. Instead she began grabbing the parts needed to put together what he asked her to do. A test...Cairo liked a challenge.
