A/N: This was a request by keydav and reriddle.


Jane knew he was watching her; had been watching her since the party started.

Anywhere she happened to wander, he was always there: lost in a crowd; having a drink; waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs like a modern day Clark Gable.

She couldn't really blame him for staring so long. Not to be vain, but she did look pretty damn good in this dress. It wasn't her usual style (dresses on the whole typically weren't), but it clung to what curves she had so well, making her look more filled out than she was. The dress was sleeveless, and fairly low cut. He wasn't the only man to cast hungry eyes on her that night.

He was just the only one that mattered.

As the party reached it climax, Jane saw him across the dance floor, making his way to her. Those eyes devoured her completely, and so thoroughly that she thought her clothes would vanish bit by bit until she was nude before him.

"Hello, my dear," he said, his voice sending delightful shivers through her. "I feel I would be remiss not to ask you for a dance."

Jane took his hand and let him lead. He was a great deal taller, but so very talented on his feet. He could have had her walking on air if he wanted.

"I saw you watching me," she said.

"Did you?" He smirked.

"Hard not to notice. You've been doing it all night."

"My apologies," he said, and he didn't mean it for a second. "I find that my eyes are always drawn to beauty."

"You know I'm engaged, right?"

She had the diamond ring on her finger. It sparkled as his finger ghosted over it's smooth edges.

"And your fiance has impeccable taste," he said.

Jane almost rolled her eyes.

"I don't know how he'd feel about me dancing with you."

He pulled her close, far too close for a proper waltz, but Jane couldn't say she cared about dancing anymore.

"How would he feel if I invited you to my room?"

"He'd probably kill you," Jane answered with a grin she could no longer contain.

"Then with my final moments, I must give you the time of your life."

He took her back to the hotel room, and for the next few hours kept his promise in the most wonderful way. When it was over, Jane rested in the circle of his arms, pressing kisses onto his chest as he played with her hair. For a time, Jane's heart pounded out of her chest and left her unable to verbalize the question on her mind.

"You're never going to get tired of that game, are you?"

Loki pulled her up for a long, searing kiss, and worn out as she was from their 'activities', Jane's toes could still curl and her heart could still pound. His fingers played with her engagement ring.

"My love, we will be long since married, and I will still be ready to play."


A/N: In case you don't get it, they are engaged, but they like to roleplay that they're strangers committing illicit acts together.
