He kept kissing me as I slid my hands through his back and then played with his hair, I was slightly continence of him retiring his hands of the wall, and making me lower my legs as he started to unbutton my shirt –a stripped one Natasha had lent me- and then I separated my lips from his so I could breathe.
"When did you do this?" He asked in a whisper, I noticed he was looking at my left hip where I had a tattoo of the word mischief written in gothic letter. He probably didn´t saw it the first time we were naked due the lack of light.
"A long time ago" I admitted, and then surrounded his neck with my arms as I smiled before explaining him "I was seventeen and I lost a bet"
He gave me a quick kiss
"And what exactly was the debt about?"
"Another time" I said simply smirking. Then I looked into his deep green eyes
"What?" He asked frowning
"I just… I´d never realized how handsome you are before" I said with honesty
"So now you find me attractive" He pointed out
"Extremely" I bit my lip as I smirk "I think you´re the hottest man I have ever been with"
"Ah, I guess that is something good?" Loki asked. I was about to say very, but he put a finger in my mouth
"Shh" he whispered when I tried to speak and then frowned. I saw him move his eyes from one side to another and then pointed at his bed. I frowned confused. He just pointed the bed again and this time I understood; get under the bed.
I ran and hid under his giant bed just in time. I heard Loki´s door open followed by some person´s shoes. Loki´s boots were extremely near me so that must had meant he was sat at the edge of the bed.
"Usually we nock before we enter into someone´s chamber here on Asgard" I heard Loki say
"Yeah, but that´s not applied for people that nearly broke Earth is it?" The other person said. It was Tony.
I heard Loki chuckle
"Why are you here Stark?" Loki asked "Fury does not know you are here, you are the last person he would send as a negotiator"
"Yeah you´re right, I´m here on my own. Now drop the act Loki" there was a pause and then Tony asked "Where are they?"
"They?" Loki asked and I pictured him raising an eyebrow
"Stop playing the innocent one here Loki, no one falls for that any more, not even your brother. Where are the Derflingers?"
"Oh, so you lost both of them. Well, I though Nelly had some sort of tracker and as to Rachel if she escaped she cannot go that far"
"The tracker conveniently broke when she was frozen and as for Rachel, there was a reason not even S.H.I.E.L.D found her on Earth. You know what I think Loki? I think you have some sort of plan that involves Nelly. I mean you rescued her daughter right? And then helped her find her sister, convincing her must be so easy now. But that´s not going to work out for you; Nelly may look naïve and innocent, but she´s not. She has the greatest sense of justice I´ve ever seen on a person so yeah maybe she is on your side now, but sooner or later she´ll realized that you are the wrong side and that day, you can kiss your throne goodbye"
But Loki just chuckled again
"What if she is not on the wrong side?"
"She is, and it´s just matter of time that she realizes it and with her sister, whom by the way will be nothing but trouble for you ,that day they will come quicker than normal and the best part is that you can´t get rid of her or you´ll lose Nelly forever"
"Sounds to me that you still have feelings for her"
"Just one; respect. And once she´s done with you; admiration because she´ll not only be over you, she´ll finish you, slowly and painfully, and the day that happens I will be watching in the front line laughing and enjoying every minute of it"
I saw Tony´s shoes walking towards the door, then he spoke again
"And by the way; men doomed to fail forever aren´t her type"
And then he was gone.
I waited a couple of seconds but I didn´t hear Loki´s voice and his feet weren´t moving at all. I got outside the bed and saw him stood there frozen looking at the door. I cursed mentally at Tony. He had said what I had did to him but of course he didn´t mention what he did to me. For the first time I realized I had actually hurt him with my little paybacks. And now I would have been proud of it, if it wasn´t for the man with the lost stare at the door.
I climb into the bed and sat behind him as I surrounded him with my arms. He tried to push me back at first but I just hold him tighter and started to kiss his neck and rubbing his shoulders and chest with my hands. I heard him sight and I took that chance to whisper in his ear
"You know, I´ve never said this to anyone but I really think you´re right. Not about everything of course, especially the two worlds 'war part, but I think you´re right"
He had his eyes closed enjoying every second of it and I wonder if had ever been treated with such fondness in all his life. Then all of sudden he opened his eyes
"Nelly…" He started
"What?" I asked concerned, he looked at me
"Where is your sister?"
At first I didn´t understand the question but then I caught him staring at his closet and felt my heart fall to my stomach.
I approached to the closet as I put the shirt back on. I opened the door slightly , nothing happened so I decided to open it a little bit more but something jumped at me , tackling me.
I tried to cover my body but that something kept attacking me until it suddenly stopped. I looked up; Loki was holding Rachel as she squirmed and fought to get rid of him.
"Rachel" I whispered
"You stupid liar!"She snapped and the words hit me more than her punches "I trusted you with my daughter, I trusted you with my life!"
"I- I know I just" I was in the border of a crisis "Please Loki you´re hurting her"
"That is the plan" He answered
"Let go you pig!" My sister roared
"LOKI!" I begged so he finally let her go. She was squirming with such strength that she landed on the floor. She stood up as fast as she could
"Rachel I-" But I couldn´t finish thanks to the slap She gave me, my sister had always been strong but her anger amplify it so much, that slap hurt so much it could easily been given by Loki or Thor. My head turn to the left and when I turned it back, I grabbed my chick that was probably red and felt the tears in it, but what was more surprising of all was that Loki was standing in front of me as if he pretended to be some sort of barrier against my sister.
"On my god, so it´s true" Rachel said and then she burst into a laugh "You do fancy her"
"Stay away from her" He hissed
She snorted
"Not as long as she has my daughter and you at the same time"
"I think she stop being your daughter a long time ago" He said mockingly
"I think you" My sister said looking at me "need to choose a side"
"What?"
"Him or me. It´s as simple as that, not the avengers, not America or some other shit I don´t believe in just this: Him or me"
I looked at my sister and then at Loki, he looked back at me. There was something in his eyes is as if he was begging me to choose him in such an imperceptible way it could only be my imagination
"I can´t…" I said but I didn´t know who I was talking to anymore.
Rachel snorted
"You´re making pretty obvious sis, you lie for him, you kill for him, and you steal for him"
And my answer was the worst I could ever give to anyone
"Maybe he is the right side"
I saw her eyes wide and opening her mouth in surprise, she walked toward the door after saying
"All right then, I want you to know I´m taking Hayley with me and also; I know everything he has done, everything he is and there is nothing you can expect from him"
And then she was gone. I should have run after her, I should have chosen her, but I didn´t. What was wrong with me? I looked at Loki trying to find the answer, and he looked…relieved
"Hayley will be safer with Rachel" He said
I nodded, I knew he was right but still I felt like something was being tearing away from me
"I´ll get her back"
"I know" He said simply
Then a new concern appeared in my mind
"What she said about you, is it true?" I asked looking him in the eyes, he looked back at me for a while and for some reason he didn´t choose to lie this time
"Yes" He answered.
