Chapter XXI: Entwined

Seren was in the library; her hair brushed around one shoulder and her eyes focussed on the book in front of her. Though her face was placid, she could not help but feel her heart flutter in her chest, Loki was coming for her… but she did not know when or by what means. Their promise had been lingering in her mind for hours, the promise of meeting lips, entwined flesh and rapture for the prince and the huntress. The sun had set a few hours ago, and she knew that it would not be too long before he found her little hiding spot.

His green eyes flashed as he entered the library, he had made sure that the others were occupied so that they would not seek either of them out. There was no way that he would allow anyone to disrupt them tonight without dire consequences. Loki combed some stray hair off his face as he started to look for her, the tall shelves akin to mighty trees… and Seren was the untameable beast he coveted.

She rose from her golden lounge and went to put her book back; her silver dress flickered like the moons high above Asgard and a slight smile on her lips. Seren arched her shoulders and wove her way amongst the shelves, her skirt flowing at her ankles as she slipped the book back onto the shelf and glanced behind her. She knew he was following her, so she decided to let the prince have his fun. Slowly she made her way through the shelves, running her hand along the dark wood and she could feel his eyes on her as his footsteps bled into hers. Quickly turning a corner, she picked up her pace as she flew up a set of stairs and slipped behind one of the shelves. Seren's hair flashed around her as she looked over her shoulder, a sly smile as she caught a glimpse of green and black. Narrowly avoiding bumping into an elderly scholar, she muttered an apology and the old man grumbled and went on his way. Seren walked down the middle of the shelves, the library was quiet and still, the darkness held at bay by soft golden light from lamps. Her head held high and proud, but a subtle smile on her lips as she brushed some stray locks from her face. Green eyes watched as her fingertips brushed the gold and black by her ear, her white hair tickling the curve of her neck.

A hand shot out and Seren was yanked into the darkness between two shelves, her wrists held above her head. She laughed in surprise as Loki looked down at her, grinning with mirth and his thumb stroked the inside of her wrist. His eyes half-closed as he looked at his capture.

"Where have you been hiding yourself, my dear Seren?" He asked.

"In a place… where I know only you will find me…" She whispered, looking into his gleaming eyes. Loki smiled softly and rested his brow to hers, they closed their eyes and his fingers entwined with hers and held her tightly against the bookshelves by her head.

"Now I have discovered you…" He leaned in and his lips ran along her neck, his grip tightened. "And I have trapped you…" Seren's lips parted with a sigh as his mouth hovered over the arch of her collarbone to the curve of her breasts. "And soon… I will devour you…" She chuckled as Loki planted a light kiss on the top of her breast and rose up to meet her lips in a full, passionate kiss. Seren's hands were freed and she cupped his slender cheekbones, tracing their curve as their kiss broke and their noses brushed with a shared grin.

"Unless you let your guard down." Seren gripped his leather-clad chest tightly and she pulled him towards her, brushing her lips against his. "Then the beast is the one who feeds!" Loki smiled as she ran her hands over his shoulders and looked into his emerald eyes. "He who is mad trusts in the tameness of a wolf…" She whispered, her black eyes flashing at him with desire.

The God of Mischief smiled and took her hand in his, resting his head atop hers and combing her silky hair. His eyes looked down at her comfortable face, he pressed his mouth to her brow.

"I believe that we should retire for the evening." He muttered, Seren grinned at his words. Loki leaned in and his lips brushed her ear, cupping her chin between his fingers. "We should not be seen entering together, not yet… " Seren nodded in agreement "I will be in my chambers… anxiously awaiting you…" He said, barely above a whisper and caressed her bottom lip with his thumb. Loki turned on his heel and left her in the darkness of the shelves, she watched as he walked away with his head held high, smiling to herself. She brushed her hair over her shoulders and walked in the opposite direction, her skin aglow and a dark gleam in her eyes.

Seren made her way down the vast hallways of Asgard, choosing to wait a few minutes before casually walking to Loki's room. She moved silently among the golden halls, the only sound came from the rustle of her dress and the soft tap of her shoes. The guards glanced at her as she stopped in front of the prince's chambers; Seren checked the coast was clear before slipping inside. Her heart was filled with the rush of excitement and nervousness as she slowly closed the door behind her and looked around.

"Lady Seren." She turned at the call of her name and saw Loki by the fireplace, on a black leather armchair and looking up at her with a sly smile.

"Prince Loki…" She curtsied to him "Good evening." He beckoned her forward with a curl of his finger; she smiled at him and slowly walked towards him. Loki's emerald eyes flickered in the light of the fireplace, his gaze tracing the softness of her waist, the rise of her breasts, the curve of her collarbone, to finally meet her dark gaze that held a sensual gleam.

"I can see in your eyes… you have imagined this scene before…" She said softly, a smirk on her lips.

"Perhaps…" Loki chuckled and stood up to meet her, their bodies almost touching and their eyes half closed at one another.

"But I must ask…" She sighed softly against his lips. "Do those dreams pale in comparison to my own living, breathing… aching flesh?" Loki smirked and his hand ran from her hair down to her neck, cupping her throat and bringing a soft blush across her face.

"Oh, very much so…" He said with a smile, seizing her lovely neck and bringing his lips to hers. Seren gripped his vest and kissed him back with equalled passion, Loki's fingertips curled around the silver threads at the back of her dress. Their lips parted as he brushed the hair off her shoulder to kiss the curve of her jaw. "When I saw you that night… in that dress of royal purple and diamonds in your hair," Seren's breath hitched as he tugged at the laces, she arched her shoulders as he bit down on her neck. "you entered alone, powerful and singular… shining with grace and majesty…" Loki's hands snatched the back of her dress and ripped it open, she gasped in surprise. Her back exposed to the warmth of the room, his fingertips traced the scars beneath the hanging laces along her spine. "I thought you were the most terrifyingly exquisite woman that I had ever seen…" Seren smiled and felt her heart ache at his words.

"Loki…" She sighed as his kisses became deeper and his hands tugged at her dress.

With a wicked grin, she gripped his shoulders and buckled her legs. The two came crashing down onto the black fur rug, his hands landed by either side of her head and her arms around his shoulders. Seren grinned at his surprised face, but his expression faded to one of lustful amusement.

"You really do know how to make a maiden swoon." She purred. Loki grinned at her and crushed his lips to hers, she groaned in pleasure as her fingers knotted in his hair and her leg arched against his hips. His hand ran along her waist, feeling the rich fabric and the swell of her breasts, she moaned as he ground his hips into hers and she felt her body ache for more. Loki's hand gripped the rug as she entwined one of her legs with his, her white flesh gleaming like satin as it rose from the folds of her silver dress. His lips slowly parted from hers and their eyes opened.

"So you have never laid with a man…" He smirked "Or woman before?" Seren laughed and ran her hands through her hair, pulling her long white locks around her so they fell around her head like rays of light.

"Does my virtue take you that much by surprise?" She smiled, brushing her fingertips along his cheek as he looked down on her. Smiling softly, she looked into his emerald eyes with sincerity, tracing his fine lips with her thumb. "I was saving myself for one whom would look upon me with such kindness, such adoration for me and all that I am… that I would give my maidenhood unto him and never regret a single moment of our affections." He was surprised at her honesty; she was a woman who truly cared for him, willing to give up her precious chastity to him. Loki had been with many maidens, even taking a casual mistress from time to time; yet Seren was the first who he wanted to lavish with royal splendours, the one he wanted to charm scarlet upon her skin, the one he wanted on his arm as he sat upon his golden throne.

His lips lightly touched hers as his hand swept along her waist, Seren closed her eyes as his hand stroked her naked thigh. Loki leaned down and she felt his cool breath along her slender neck.

"Tell me Seren… when your desires threatened to drown you…" He muttered against her ear. "What did you do?" Seren turned red and shuddered as his hand massaged the flesh of her pale leg.

"I… subdued them… ah…myself…" She moaned as his hand reached between her legs, brushing his palm along her inner thigh. Loki leaned in close to her ear, a sly, cruel smile on his face.

"Show me…"

Seren's eyes shot open and her face flooded with heat, Loki's hand retreated from between her legs and he lifted himself from her. She smiled softly and watched him slip from her arms; she bit down on her lip and closed her eyes, all too happy to indulge in his illicit request. Loki sat on his black leather lounge, watching as she slowly ran her hands over her semi-exposed breasts. His curled finger rested against his lips while he watched her white hands stroke the rich cloth of her dress, running her nails over her neck and shoulders before one hand started to travel down her body. She slid her feet out of her silver and black slippers, allowing her toes to sink into the black fug rug she lay across. Seren slowly ran her fingers up her exposed leg, his emerald eyes on her body, watching her arching chest, her clenched toes, her parted lips… his gaze made her all the more… excited.

With a slip of her fingers, her hand disappeared under her skirt and the other ran across her collarbone with a sigh of desire. The heat from the fire next to her drew a bead of sweat across her brow as her white fingers met her aching flower. Loki smiled as a shiver of light ran through her, her head fell to the side to face him, but her eyes remained closed. She let out a small cry as her fingertips slipped into herself and she felt the slickness of her desires betwixt her thighs.

The prince watched in keen observation as Seren began to pleasure herself on the rug, a hand still running along her delicate neck and shoulders and her lips parted in soft, silent pants. He could feel the swell of his own arousals, but his narrowed gaze was fixed on the lovely creature before him. She started to grind her hips into her palm, her arm flexing with vigour as her fingers delved deeper into her aching chastity. Seren let out a moan and her back arched as her wet fingertips pinched her pearl. Her eyes were clenched shut; she didn't dare to open them, afraid of what would happen if she looked at the god she was thinking about.

Loki's eyebrow rose as her lips parted with an indulgent whimper, the pink of her hardened nipples teasing at the slipping neckline of her silvery dress. Seren felt colour flood her cheeks as her nails dug into her shoulder and she twisted her wrist between her legs, thrusting her hips onto her fingers. Nectar dripped down her hand as her chest heaved in soft, lustful breaths, her breasts practically falling from her dress. She was reaching her peak, her face tensed as her fingers moved faster and a groan of pleasure met his ears.

Loki knew it was time to step in.

She didn't hear him move, she didn't see him smile as his armour melted away by magic… but she did feel him remove her hand from between her legs. Seren sat up on her elbows to look at him, but he forced her back down, her rising climax aching to be released. He was changed into a simple set of matching black and green pants and shirt, trimmed with gold.

"Loki? What are you-"

Her eyes widened as he grasped the front of her dress and in one fluid motion, ripped it clean off. It fell across the room and Seren was left in only her silk, slightly askew, undergarments. Loki pinned her down and kissed her hard, Seren's naked chest arching to brush against his, her silvery desires clinging to her fingertips and dripping onto the black fur rug. She groaned as his hands gripped her wrists and held them down by her sides; he bit down lightly on her bottom lip and pulled away slowly. Loki smiled at her; his eyes gleaming with lust at the sight of her flushed cheeks. Her eyes still closed as she tried to steady her ragged breathing.

"Don't move…" He ordered her, Seren bit down on her lip as he slowly released her, her hands stayed by her hips. Loki looked down at her, resting one hand by her head and the other brushed her cheek. He moved back to look at her naked, natural state; her body gleamed under his calculating eyes. She was well toned and slim, a warrior's body. Her arms and legs were long and muscular, her shoulders broad and strong. Across her skin were a few scars, but unimportant compared to the perfect roundness of her breasts, her small pink nipples and the arch of her slender hips.

She was worth the pain, every cruel word, every glare of disdain; every fleeting touch was worth it for this moment with her powerless beneath him. Seren was a woman who challenged him, fascinated him; her anger was her beauty, a halo of wrath that had caught his eye; a lover both soft and cruel, of fire and light… and she filled Loki's heart with unyielding, unrelenting, unmerciful desire.

Seren opened her eyes to see him looking down at her, his lips parted as he drank in the sight of her unprotected flesh. She fought the urge to touch his face, to stroke the elegance of his features and comb his black, black hair.

"What is it?" She asked, trying to read his expression. Loki blinked and looked at her, smiling and tracing the curve of her cheek with his lips.

"You are so lovely, my dear Seren… as delicate as a doe, but with the ferocity of a wolf…" He chuckled softly. "I can't deny… that I have desired to see you so… exposed." He purred in her ear, running the tip of his tongue over her earlobe; the black and gold earring gleaming against her white hair.

"I-I… um…" She had little idea what to say in a moment so intimate, so raw. Never had she felt so vulnerable in her life, but she felt strangely at ease despite her helplessness. Seren flushed and her thighs met, trying to cover her moist undergarments, but Loki laughed at her.

"Relax Seren… enjoy this moment…" He grinned and brushed his thigh against her dripping flower, she shuddered and closed her eyes. "Since I won't be this gentle when I take you to my bed." She smiled as his lips met her trembling jugular, planting deep kisses as his hand came up to caress her breast. Loki's mouth crept down her body, breathing her in as his lips trailed between her breasts, fingertips teasing at the delicate flesh of her nipples. Seren moaned as he took her breast in his palm, his lips devouring every inch of her ivory skin that seemed to turn to gold in the firelight. Flinching a little at the coldness of his mouth on her nipple, his tongue circling around the tender bud, she trembled in aching desire. Loki teased at her breasts, caressing, kneading, kissing the white peaks, as pale as mountaintops and slightly gleaming with sweat. The fire glimmered at their side, casting their shadows across the room; the prince's hand sliding over her hip and she shuddered in anticipation.

His thumb hooked around the edge of her undergarments, a shiver took her as he slipped down the wet silk between her thighs. Black hair stroked her stomach as his kisses travelled over the arch of her ribs, tasting the subtle curves of her strong abdominals and pausing at each tiny scar he found. Loki's hands very gently spread her legs; she gripped the fur rug in embarrassment and her face turned from scarlet to deepest vermillion. Even the curls before him were as white as the rest of her, her maidenhood slick and aching for him. Loki took one final glance at the trembling Lady Seren… before his tongue descended to taste of her aching chalice.

A strangled cry rang from her throat and she clasped a hand over her mouth to smother it, Seren's eyes wide in surprise. His hands gripped her thighs tightly as his tongue teased her; prodding at her moist entrance and feeling the tremors of nerves run down her legs. She turned her head away and tried to hide another moan as his hands massaged her tense legs, the sensation beyond anything she had imagined. Seren had never know such euphoric pleasure, the feeling of her lover being so close to her, his kiss as merciless as the flickering tongue of a serpent.

Loki groaned and clenched his eyes tightly, running his strong hands over her calves to throw her legs over his shoulders. With a slight smirk, he leaned forward and spread her walls with his violating appendage. Seren arched her neck as a cry rang through the warm air, his tongue going further and further into her dripping, aching chastity.

"L-Loki… ah…." She moaned loudly, gripping onto the fur beneath her as he caressed her most sensitive of petals with his wicked tongue. Seren's feet lightly stroked his shoulders, encouraging him to taste of her silvery nectar. His tongue swirled between her thighs, allowing a few stray drops to trickle from his greedy lips. Loki's hands crept along her hips, running his nails over the soft flesh of her buttocks as he continued his intrusion.

She groaned with lust as the fire within her burned brighter and brighter, feeling the pounding ache within starting to consume her. His tongue holding more talents that she expected, stroking her core with such slow, tender caresses; making her back arch in agonising bliss. Seren cried out to the stars above as his teeth nibbled at her pulsing clit, before forcing his tongue deeper into her and his thumbs stroked the arches of her hipbone. She felt those stars burn behind her eyes, her fists clenched the rug and her knuckles turned white as her head tossed wildly in the throngs of passion.

"I-I can't… I… ah…" Her ivory legs arched in the air as he dug his nails into her skin, Seren's eyes flashed as it all became too much for the young virgin. She let out a sound, akin to a wounded beast, as she finally released and a supernova exploded through her veins.

Loki drank down every drop of her as Seren fell onto the black rug, trembling with relief. Fire trickling through her skin as nectar dripped from her chalice, he slowly retreated and looked up at the small smile on her face. Wiping his lips clean, he let her legs fall from his shoulders into a crumpled heap of limbs.

"I trust that you enjoyed that?" He chuckled, his hand running along her thigh with deep, relaxing strokes.

"Oh gods yes…" She said, running her fingers through her hair and grinning at the ceiling. A deep shudder ran through her and she sighed as Loki's fingertips tickled at her calf. "I h-have never felt so…" Her foot gently ran along his shoulder, tugging at his shirt.

"'So'… what?" He asked, watching her white toes run down his collarbone to the square of his chest.

With a mighty push, Seren knocked him across the room. Loki hit the wall with a smack and several piles of books came tumbling down, he straightened up against the golden wall and looked at her in frustration. There was a flash of white and Seren pounced on him, pinning him to the wall and pressing her naked body against him. His eyes widened at the flash of lust in her obsidian gaze; she leaned into his ear and smiled.

"I have never felt so…very… very… ravenous…" With that animalistic growl, she kissed him hard on the mouth and ran her nails down his chest. Loki groaned in pleasure as she yanked at his belt, ripping the leather clean off and her lips went to his neck. Seren ran her hand along her still-dripping blossom, wetting her fingertips. His eyes clenched shut as she bit down hard on his neck and shoved her hands into his pants, finding the pulsing ache of his desires.

"S-Seren!" He groaned as she started to pleasure him, planting kisses along his neck and shoulders. His hands tried to claw at the golden wall as her strokes were hard, slow and agonising. Loki clenched his teeth as she ran her nails over his manhood, her kisses travelled across his shoulders and turned into dark love bites. With his green eyes clenched shut, he surrendered to her forceful hands, unable to stop a loud, guttural moan ripping from his throat.

"Say how much you desire me…" She whispered to him, one hand leaving his pants to grasp his shirt. "How much you ache for me…" He chuckled as she ripped his shirt clean off and brushed her lips to his, continuing to massage his hard shaft.

"You can already feel my yearnings, you nasty little minx…" He said against her lips, clasping the back of her head and forcing his tongue down her throat. Seren groaned and their tongues battled for dominance, her caresses slowed and he thrust himself into her hands. His other hand raked his nails into her rump and she moaned and pressed her naked breasts against his chest. The two of them bubbling over with primal lust, barely able to control themselves in that barely lit room.

Loki felt himself reaching his peak, but he did not want to release himself just in her hands, he wanted to be completely enveloped in that maiden of midnight splendours. He gripped her hair and pulled her back, strings of her nectar joined their lips.

"What's wrong?" She purred, leaning in to run her tongue along the shell of his ear. Loki hissed and took her wrist, ripping her hands from his manhood, Seren looked up in surprise but he grinned at her.

"Absolutely nothing." His hand clasped her throat and he pushed away from the wall, forcing her to move back. "But I want something different from you, my dear Seren…" She smiled softly and flushed as she realised his intentions. "All I want is to make you scream… so that the Nine Realms will hear my name across the stars and all of Asgard will hear our union." Loki growled at her, stroking her throat with his thumb. Seren's knees hit the edge of his bed and she crawled across the sheets, not taking her eyes off him for a moment. He tugged at his pants and they fell to the floor, he advanced on her as she threw her long hair over the end of the bed. Seren lay down and smiled at him, arching her back and running her arms over the exquisite gold and white sheets.

"Did you ever think that we would end up like this? Lovers, instead of enemies?" She asked as he reached the edge of the bed, resting his hand by the golden post and looking at the delicacy before him. His emerald eyes looked at her long limbs, her slick thighs, and her pale breasts, finally meeting her gentle, tender expression.

"Not for a moment," Loki said softly. "We hated each other's existence… and all that I had ever desired from you was that you would leave Asgard and never return." Seren cocked an eyebrow and sighed dramatically before sitting up on her elbows.

"Well… I can leave if you want me to-"

Loki's eye twitched and he pounced on her, his hands by her head and pinning her to his bed.

"Do not even jest about such cruelties." He said, grinning down at her. Seren smiled and cupped his cheek, bringing her lips to his as he lowered himself onto her; their naked flesh at last making full contact. His hands ran over every inch of skin he found, their kiss was deep and passionate as they hands mapped each other's bodies. Seren delighting in the dip and curve of his naked thighs, the arch of his muscular back and the angelic broadness of his bare shoulders. Her hands ran over his alabaster skin, his body strong but slender, she lovingly caressed his arms and back, her body trembling as she felt the power of his flesh. Loki nudged her legs apart, settling himself at her entrance and she flushed with apprehension. Their lips parted gently as their fingers entwined by her head, they looked into each other and his eyes blazed in the dark. "I will be the first man to kiss you… to bed you…" He whispered to her, clenching her hand in his. "Lady Seren…you will be mine, and mine alone… do you understand?" Loki looked into her black eyes as her hand ran slowly over his shoulder to his back.

"And you will lie with no other but me, my skin shall be the only flesh that you taste, my lips the only ones you will kiss… and if you forsake me… I will hunt you down and put arrows of your deceit through your beautiful emerald eyes." Seren said to him, her voice soft and deadly. With those lethal words of promise, the prince eased himself into her and the huntress shuddered with pain.

Tears grew in her eyes as with a final, deep thrust, Loki tore her maidenhood apart.

Seren's painful cry echoed through the palace.

She felt like she was being split in two, he filled every inch of her and his brow was furrowed in supressed bliss. He almost lost himself then and there! She was so damn tight, clenching around him and the warmth of her almost too much. Loki opened his eyes and his lips parted, looking down at the woman beneath him. Seren's eyes were shut and her teeth were gritted, a few tears rolled down her white cheeks at the heavenly pain between her legs. His hand cupped her cheek and she looked at him, tears running over his fingers as she shuddered beneath him, her lips parted with painful breaths. Blood dripped from between her legs, staining the white sheets…

"You are so tense… so frightened of what you've never felt…" Loki wiped the tears from her cheek and drew out slowly, her neck arching back at his movement. She gasped as he drove his hips into hers and he smiled at her tenderly. "Seren, you will remember this for the rest of your life, there should be no tears tonight…" His lips met hers and she groaned as he thrust into her again. Loki untangled his fingers from hers and ran his hand down her side, stroking the quivering flesh. She gripped the pillow by her head and her nails ran down his back, anchoring to him as he continued.

The two of them clung to one another and moaned with primal cravings, Loki planted deep kisses along her neck as his hand grasped at her breast before it trickled down to her thigh. Seren ran her palm over his muscular shoulder blades as the pain still shot through her like shards of glass, but with each drive of his hips the sting slowly subsided… into something much, much better.

Her eyes fluttered open as she felt waves of pleasure ripple through her, her claws dug into his back and she sighed by his ear.

"A-ah…Loki…" He smiled against her neck as he felt her grip tighten against him, relishing in the way his name left her soft lips, laced with yearning and lust. His hand scooped under her knee and Seren let him wrap her leg around his hip, his fingers stroked the curve of her calf. Loki angled his hips and gripped the pillow as he thrust harder into her; she threw back her head and cried out in ecstasy. He kissed her neck and she slid her other leg around his hips, he groaned as she started to slowly move in rhythm with him. The last of her tears fell and she felt the ache of desire spread through her as her delicate hips arched to meet his with every thrust. She ran her fingers deeply through his hair as she moaned by his ear, her feet caressing the bold curves of his muscular legs as his bed creaked under their strokes of passion.

Loki brought his lips to hers and her back arched as they kissed, with her legs on either side; she rolled over so they were lying side by side. Her hand ran down his chest, caressing the arches of his ribs as he cupped her cheek and stroked her dried tears. Their kiss was filled with deep, aching longing, a hunger for one another that drowned them in those white sheets. Their limbs tangled as he drank in her silvery flesh and covered her neck with tender love bites, Seren moaned and dug her nails into his thigh. She held his head to her neck as he drove into her, grinding her hips deeply to coax a loud groan from the prince.

"Oh gods…. Seren!" Her breath was ragged and she raked her nails deeper into his chest and thigh, lines of red stained his flawless skin. The candles around them made their flesh gleam, the flames quivering as the bed groaned in protest.

"H-Harder! Please!" She cried, Loki grinned and seized her by the scruff of her neck, thrusting deep into her and Seren wrenched her eyes closed. They felt their climaxes rising like the tides, racing for the shore. He bit down hard on her neck as her hand swept along his arm, their chests burning against one another, as though their hearts were trying to tear from their sweating skin to melt into one. Loki's hand gripped her knee, forcing it higher and twisting his hips to slam himself into her deeper.

Seren felt him hit something inside her, sending shockwaves through her body and she screamed out to the stars.

"LOKI! M-My prince…" His lips broke from her neck at the sound of her scream of ecstasy, it was more exquisite than he had ever imagined; her hips ground into his in raw, aching desire. Her nails drawing drops of blood as she cried out again and again with each wonderful thrust he inflicted upon her.

"S-SEREN! AUGH!" He cried out as she clawed at him, his body was engulfed in white-hot flames of pain and lust. Seren's caresses were both cruel and loving, and he fell so very far. Far down into those depths of her luminescent embrace, never wanting to leave such divine pleasure. Loki had his eyes clasped shut, consumed in her arms and relishing in every second of her panting breaths and her gleaming skin. Her hand gripped at his thigh and he let go of her knee to reach down and entwine his fingers with hers. Seren's hair fanned across the pillow like silvery rays of light, their ivory limbs knotted within sheets of white and gold.

She combed his hair with her free hand and brushed her lips to his. Seren clenched her eyes closed as the surge of light behind her eyes shone with blinding radiance; she felt her body come crashing down around her. The fire between their hips eating away at her flesh, like a supernova that consumed all within its shining beauty. Loki's arm wrapped around her neck and shoulder, brushing her collarbone and she looked at him. Dark hair clung to his sweating brow, his emerald eyes gleaming at her as he groaned with the rising fire of his peak; their entwined hands clenched each other. Their eyes closed and with a few final, blissful, deep thrusts… their cries rang as one across the midnight hour.

Their bodies trembled as creamy mess spread down her thighs, their limbs locked tightly against one another. Seren fell forward and rested her brow to his, sighing softly with the ache of her orgasm. A silvery light gleamed from her skin and hair, warm and gentle… a lover's glow. Loki kept his arm around her shoulders and rolled onto his back, Seren moving to carefully lift herself off his hips with a low groan and resting her head against his chest. The two of them were panting softly, bodies gleaming with sweat and half-covered in the twisted sheets. Hands still entwined, Loki brushed his lips to her knuckles tenderly. Seren flushed in the afterglow as their hands rested on his chest, she nuzzled the softness of his skin and heard his heart pounding. The two of them were completely content in their embrace, his fingers gently stroked her shoulder and she placed a light kiss along his collarbone.

She blinked and noticed the deep, scarlet scratches across his body, she grinned sheepishly and looked up at him.

"Sorry about that." She said. Loki chuckled and she traced one with the tip of her finger, a few drops of blood ran over his skin.

"Think nothing of it, I will be reminded of this night with you." Seren smiled at him and kissed one of the wounds.

"Until they heal up…" She muttered, running the length of her fingers down his neck and chest. He took her chin between his fingertips and drew her up to look into his eyes, her hair falling across his body like folds of satin.

"Then I suppose you will have to inflict them upon me… again…" His thumb ran over the mole above her lip. "And again…" Seren smiled and leaned into him, their eyes closed. "And again…" Loki purred at her. Their lips touched and he ran his fingers through her gleaming hair, their chests against one another and their legs interwoven amongst the sheets. The huntress and the prince closed their eyes and their kiss filled their hearts with deepest, most tender affection.

The both of them proud, powerful and passionate; Seren's hand rested upon his scratched, ripped chest and his fingers stroked the delicate scars along her back.

Alike in a multitude of ways… and yet apart…

Like fire and ice…
