Thor sighed and looked around the Soul Forge room before he turned and smiled at his mother. "I will check on Desi." Watching his mother nod, he turned and left the room.

Desi looked up when Thor walked out. Without a word, she went right into his arms, then finally calmed down. "I have everything packed and ready, for whenever you're ready to go." She said softly.

He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her hair. "I'm ready to go when you are. We can leave on horseback."

"I'm ready, we just need to grab the bag from our rooms. Are we riding double?" Desi asked him, wanting to be close.

"If you would like to," Thor replied as he rubbed her back gently.

"I would." Desi answered and finally pulled away just enough to show she was ready to go get their bag and leave.

Thor smiled down at her then kissed her softly. "Let us be off then. Father knows we will be gone for a couple of nights."

Desi returned his kiss and smiled, then tugged his arm to get them walking. "How did you get time away from court so quickly?" She asked curiously, leading the way to their chambers.

"Father is feeling well, and court meetings have been halted since Orin arrived," he explained.

"Why have the meetings stopped?" Desi asked curiously, mostly back to being herself now. Once at their chambers, she opened the door and grabbed the three bags they were taking, having left them right by the door.

"Orin knew about the council's battle with Loki, and we're unsure how," Thor answered. "So mother is investigating."

"Since he's family, I assumed it was Odin or someone that told him." Desi admitted, shocked. She locked their door, then led them outside, towards the stables for a horse.

"I hadn't talked to him in a very long time," Thor admitted. "Well over a couple hundred years."

"Is he staying here now?" Desi asked curiously. "If he is, do you think he would let me scan him?"

Thor shrugged as he opened the door that led them outside. "I'm not sure if he is staying. Mother and Father have been talking to him, that's all I know."

"We can worry about all of that when we get home." Desi said, excited for their trip. "So, if your mother hasn't finished her investigation by time we return, does that mean you'll have more time free from court?"

"I suppose so," he replied as they got to the path that would lead them towards the stables.

"Maybe I can get some extra time off as well." Desi said happily. "I get the feeling we won't have time off together like this very often." She said truthfully, enjoying the walk.

Thor looked at her with a furrowed brow. "Why do you say that darling?"

"Between court and patients, I just don't see us having nearly a week off at the same time very often. Unless you specifically want us to schedule time off like that?" Desi asked, more than fine with changing their schedules.

"We will have time dear; I promise you." Thor gently pulled her to him so he could kiss her just as they reached the stables.

"I know we will, but it would be nice to have little vacations like this on occasion." Desi said truthfully, after their kiss.

"Your horse is ready, your highness." The stablemaster said, leading Thor's horse out, ready to go.

"Thank you, Gordon," Thor praised as he took the reins of Frey. "We will Dess, I'm sure," he said as he looked back over at Desi.

Desi smiled and nodded, then let Gordon take the bags from her and put them into the saddlebags. Once the bags were secure, Desi climbed up onto the horse, leaving plenty of room for Thor.

Thor nodded at Gordon then put a foot in the stirrup before he mounted up on the horse. He put one arm around Desi then eased Frey into a walk. "Off we go."

Desi leaned back against his chest. "This is so nice already, after how busy we've been the last few weeks." She said with a content sigh.

"I'm glad you're enjoying it," Thor replied sweetly, then bent to kiss her cheek.

Desi turned so he kissed her lips. "As much as I love my post, part of me wishes it could always be just like this."

"You'll have downtime, I promise you," he said softly while he let his hand that held her travel beneath her shirt so he could caress skin.

"It's not just me I worry about; I can see how stressed you are after court sometimes." She said, then gasped when she felt his hand under her shirt. "Playful already?"

Thor grinned and kissed her neck. "I just want to be close to you," he said softly as he turned Frey to the right and into the woods.

Desi turned her head so he could reach her neck better. "That feels good." She mumbled, then reached back to tangle her fingers in his hair.

He chuckled softly. "Don't get too excited. We still have a bit of a ride," he murmured, but decidedly nipped her neck.

"Then don't get me too excited." Desi retorted, then bit her bottom lip to hold back a soft moan.

Thor smirked and stopped Frey as they reached a creek. "Lean back when we go down, then forward when we go up the bank," Thor instructed.

"Alright." Desi said, ready to do as he told her.

He nodded as he got Frey to walk again, and they went down into the creek. In the middle Thor let Frey get a drink, then asked her to go all the way across. "How was that?" He asked as they got back on the trail.

"The downhill was a bit unsettling, but the rest was fine." Desi answered and leaned back against Thor's chest. "She is such a good horse."

"She is," he agreed and reached to his side to pat Frey's shoulder. "She can get a bit excited over things, but she loves to be out of the barn."

"I can tell you have a good bond with her." Desi said sweetly and patted Frey's neck. "I need to get some more experience with riding."

"I can help you sometime. Maybe even find you a horse of your own," Thor replied as he turned left when the trail forked off.

"That would be fun, but I also really like riding double with you." Desi said truthfully. She turned and pressed a gentle kiss to Thor's neck, then looked around at the scenery around them.

"I like riding double with you too," he replied softly.

"How much further do we have to go?" Desi asked curiously.

"Not too much further. We turn right at the next fork in the trail, then the clearing will be on the right."

"That's good. That downhill really did a number on my stomach." Desi chuckled.

Thor chuckled along with her. "It wasn't that steep Dess," he said playfully.

"I know, but apparently, I have some vertigo." Desi joked, shrugging. "It felt like I was going to tumble right off."

"Sounds like we need to work on your balance," Thor replied as he turned Frey to the right once more.

"I have had riding lessons, but it was a long time ago. I haven't had much practice though." Desi explained. "I think some lessons from you would be fun." She grinned.

He smiled. "Of course. I would love to teach you."

"We can plan that for our next little vacation." Desi said happily. She kept watch for the clearing, excited to see where they would be spending the next couple of nights.

Soon enough a vast clearing opened up with a small lake in the middle, shaped like a crescent moon. "Here we are," Thor said happily.

Desi let out a soft gasp. "It's beautiful! Can we go swimming?" She asked excitedly.

Thor chuckled as he halted Frey by a nearby tree. "If you'd like to."

"It's not just about me." Desi said softly, turning to press a soft kiss to his lips.

Thor returned her kiss eagerly, one hand winding into her hair. "I know that," he said once he pulled away. "But I don't mind swimming if you want to swim."

"If the water isn't too cold, I would like to. I did pack swimming clothes for us." She said, noticing how just a few leaves were starting to change color. "It will be too cold to swim, before too long."

Thor nodded as he dismounted Frey. "The leaves are starting to change. I can check the water though."

"It's still been warm, but I know that won't last. I don't mind though because that just means we get to snuggle by the fire." Desi said, equally looking forward to that. Once he was down, she dismounted as well.

"I'll have to gather wood for a fire, but that sounds nice," Thor said honestly.

"Do you want me to help you?" Desi offered, wanting to be close.

"Sure. Just let me untack Frey and tie her to a tree, then we can gather wood and build the hut," he replied. "Unless you want to sleep under the stars."

"Build... I had no idea we were building a shelter... I've never even tried before, but it sounds fun." Desi said, blushing softly. "Whatever you want to do is fine with me."

Thor shrugged as he removed the saddlebags and large pack from Frey's saddle and placed them on the floor. "It's just a small cloth one. It's big enough to sleep in, that's it."

Desi helped remove the saddlebags, doing what she could to help. "Can we put it up, but decide where to sleep later?" She asked, not sure how hard it was to put up.

"It can always be moved after we put it up," he told her.

"I just meant, if we decided to sleep under the stars." Desi clarified. "I don't know how hard it is to put up, so I don't want to waste the work if it turns out to be a warm night."

Thor shrugged as he put their belongings all in one spot. "It's not hard to put up. Either way, we can sleep inside it or under the stars. I just hope it doesn't rain."

"Do you think it might rain tonight? I didn't pack any really warm clothes..." Desi admitted. I didn't really pack much of anything for sleeping...

"It shouldn't, but there's always a chance of rain in these woods. Mother says it's enchanted somehow," he told her. Thor proceeded to unpack the things that were needed to build their hut.

"I wonder who enchanted it..." Desi said, thinking out loud. "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Thor smiled at her as he sat down on the ground. "You can help put the poles together. They click together and form a triangle. I'm not sure who enchanted it, but it's been said that these woods give good luck."

Desi sat down not far from Thor and started putting the poles together. With how easily they joined, she had them together quickly. "A bit of good luck sounds good right now."

"Why do you say that?" Thor asked curiously as he put together his own section of poles.

"So that we might start our family sooner..." Desi admitted, blushing.

Thor chuckled as he finished his set of poles, then connected it to Desi's finished set. He stood and placed them sturdily into the ground, then unpacked the cloth that would drape over it. "Good luck it is then," he said softly.

Desi stood as well and helped pull the cloth over the poles. "How do we fasten it down?" She asked, finding the tent easier to put up than she had expected.

"Umm... I think it has ties made into the cloth," he answered. "I haven't worked with these very much."

Desi looked at the bottom and found them. "Yep, it has the ties." She said and tied the cloth to the poles on her sides of the tent.

"That's good. I would have been upset if someone packed the wrong cloth." Thor stepped away once she was finished, then grinned. "Looks pretty good. I also have blankets to lay inside, so we are not on the grass."

"I don't think they would do that to you." Desi admitted, then walked over and unpacked the blankets. "I will set up the inside for us."

"No, servants wouldn't. But my brother would," he replied as he bent down to look through one of their bags. My luck, he's snuck some sort of sex toy in here somewhere.

"I didn't even think about that." Desi blushed, thinking of all the horrible things Loki could have slipped into their bags, then took the blankets into the tent, hoping to avoid seeing anything Loki did pack. After the lingerie, who knows with him...

At the bottom of the bag, three potion vials were very neatly packed, each labeled as a different form of male performance enhancer. Thor sighed as he stared down at the vials. "I swear he is always up to something," he grumbled.

Desi came out a few minutes later. "We have a nice, comfy bed set up and ready." She said happily.

Thor quickly covered the vials and smiled up at her. "That sounds great."

"Should we make a fire first, or is there something else we need to set up?" She asked, not familiar with camping.

"Gathering wood for a fire sounds like a good idea. Then maybe take a break and eat. I think some sandwiches were packed," he replied.

"I packed some food as well. Sandwiches and fruit would be a great lunch." Desi said happily, ready to help gather firewood.

Thor stood once more and grinned. "That does sound good. Only if I can feed you the fruit," he said playfully.

"I can live with that, but it's only fair if I feed you as well." Desi retorted with a smirk, already having a plan.

He chuckled as he walked up to her and gently pulled her to him by her shirt to give her a kiss. "It's a deal," he rumbled, "But we need to get firewood."

Desi deepened their kiss before slightly pulling back. "Are you sure? Things seem to be heating up just fine." She joked.

Thor raised an eyebrow at her as he pressed her against his chest. "You are a succubus darling, tempting me the way you are."

"I guess I just find you very tempting." Desi grinned. Tangling her fingers in his hair, she pulled him down for another kiss. "We better get that firewood before you become too irresistible."

Thor pecked her lips once more before he reluctantly pulled away. "I think you are right," he told her. "There should be some limbs around the edge of the clearing."

"I will check this side over here." She turned to point behind her, then reluctantly walked away to go search for suitable branches.

Thor watched her walk away before he turned and checked the other side of the clearing, instantly finding some decent limbs and branches that would work to build a fire.

Desi came back a few minutes later with an armful of smaller, but still suitable limbs for the fire. "There's plenty more over there, that's just all I can carry in one trip." She called out to him.

"That's fine!" Thor called as he came out from the woods with his arms full of limbs and branches. "I think we have plenty for now."

"Where do you want them?" Desi asked as they both reached the camp area.

"You can put them here," he replied as he dropped his pile near their hut. "I'll build it up when it gets closer to getting dark."

Desi added her limbs and branches to his pile. "I will get lunch ready." She said, then knelt down and started going through the bag that unknowingly had the potion vials inside.

Thor bit his lip in apprehension. "I don't know if the food is in that bag."

"I'm pretty sure I packed the fruit in this one." Desi said, finding the bag of fruit, then seeing the vials. "Did you pack these?" She asked, concerned. She held the vials up for him to see.

"No, I did not," Thor assured her, although his face was tinged pink. "I am certain that it was Loki's doing."

Desi rolled her eyes and tucked the vials back into the bag. "Don't do anything with those, I'm going to get him back for this." She chuckled.

Thor furrowed his brow. "How would you get him back? I'm not even sure what all of those vials are for."

"I will figure out a way... and these are all to aid with performance issues..." Desi explained.

"I don't have any issues... not that I know of," Thor replied.

"You don't. I think I would know." Desi chuckled. "That's why I was confused and worried. It makes sense that your brother would do this... I just hope this is all he packed."

"Knowing Loki, who knows. I know I didn't pack anything for our more intimate relations. We haven't really discussed exploring things very much." He crouched down to her level and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I hope my brother's meddling doesn't bother you. If it does, I will talk to him."

"We also don't seem to need anything to help with setting the mood." Desi grinned. "I think he's trying to tease you more than me... and it doesn't bother me that much." She assured him.

He leaned over and kissed her cheek. "I just don't want anyone to hurt you," he said softly. "Do you still want to eat?" he added just as his stomach rumbled.

"If anyone ever tries to hurt me, I know you'll protect me." Desi said sincerely. "Yes. I'm hungry as well." She giggled, hearing his stomach. She looked through the other bag and brought out the sandwiches.

"I think there's the makings for soup too, if you'd like to fix it over the fire later," He replied as he sat cross legged in the grass. "Those look great."

"That will make a great dinner, especially if it's a cooler night." Desi agreed. She handed him a sandwich and took one for herself but held onto the container of sliced fruit.

Thor took a large bite of his sandwich and sighed at the taste. "I love a good smoked ham sandwich."

Desi took a bite as well, then took out two mugs and poured them each some mead. "It is very good."

"You thought of everything," Thor said happily as he accepted the mug he handed her and took a drink.

"I tried to be prepared for everything." Desi admitted. "Do you have other things in mind that you want to explore?" She asked, remembering his comment.

Thor cleared his throat as he finished another bite of his sandwich. "I have done quite a few things, if I am honest. I just don't want to pressure you."

"Hey, we've talked about this before. Simply saying something you want to do isn't pressuring me. I want you to tell me these things, and I know you won't pressure me if there's ever something I don't want to try." Desi assured him, wishing he would open up to her more.

"I've had escorts that were very willing to try anything," he told her quietly, but averted his eyes. "I've bound partners, been bound as well. I've explored using different... items too." His voice was small, unused to saying such personal things to anyone.

Desi scooted closer, leaning her head on his shoulder. "It's the nature of escorts to be willing to do anything. I'm not promising I will want to do everything you suggest, I'm promising that it's always alright to tell me what's on your mind. Even if it turns out that I'm not comfortable with something, I still want to know. We are in this together and we need to be able to tell each other anything." She said softly, then shifted slightly to press a kiss to his neck.

Thor smiled softly and leaned into her touch. "Thank you for your words. I am trying to be more open," he replied.

She reached up and cupped his cheek. "I also know you've been with others in the past. That is the past though and nothing you should be ashamed about. I'm not jealous of them at all."

Thor gently pecked her lips. "That means a lot to me," he admitted. "I have been around in my long life, and I know I still have quite a few years left."

Desi smiled sweetly at him. "From what I've heard, it's very common for royalty to take a lot of... temporary partners. I'll admit I was kind of jealous at first, but they are the ones in the past."

"I assure you; I only have my eyes on you," Thor told her. "Ever since I laid eyes on you in the sparring arena, I haven't thought of anyone else."

Desi blushed but smiled. "I never doubted that. You're the only one I've ever had eyes for." She promised him.

He put his sandwich down on top of his mug, which sat on the ground, then gently grasped her hips and pulled her into his lap. "Really? I could have sworn that you tried to have no interest at first," he teased.

"I did try to have no interest. I tried as best I could. Until we actually said goodbye, I promised myself I wouldn't come back once I left." Desi admitted. She set her sandwich on top of his.

Thor furrowed his brow in concern. "I thought you would have been back regardless to visit with Laney."

"I would have eventually come back... but I was so scared of my own feelings. The way we parted broke my heart though and I couldn't get back fast enough." She explained.

"Well, I'm glad you came back. I'm also glad that I decided to come and get you." His hands gently rubbed up and down her back while he stated lost in her eyes.

"Having you show up was the best surprise." Desi chuckled, then pulled him into a deep kiss.

Thor returned her kiss as his arms wrapped around her waist, putting her flush against his chest. His tongue ran along her mouth before she opened up to him, letting him explore as he slowly moved to lay on his back. "Food forgotten?" he murmured as he pulled away, only to kiss along her jaw.

Desi moved with him, laying on top of him. When the kiss ended, she was left a little breathless. "No, I just decided I wanted to enjoy something sweeter." She said softly. She slid her hand down his side, then under his tunic to feel his warm skin.

Thor smirked as he ran his hands up her back and pecked her lips. "I think you're the sweet one."

"Do you want to move into the hut, or stay right here?" She asked, then sat up to straddle his waist.

"Wanting to do some other things?" he questioned playfully while his hands roamed her hips and upper thighs.

"Are you trying to say you aren't ready? I can feel you; you know." Desi chuckled. "But we can wait if you want." She said truthfully.

Thor chuckled as he gently pressed her against him while he pushed his hips upward. "Feel something you like?" he teased.

Desi gave a soft moan when he moved his hips against her. "Yes, I do." She grinned. "I wouldn't mind feeling a bit more."

He sat up swiftly and put his arms beneath her ass before he maneuvered to stand. He walked them over to their hut and ducked inside, quickly moving to support Desi's back so she wouldn't fall as he gently laid her on her back. "How's this?" he murmured.

"This is good." Desi said, then started undoing his tunic. "You still haven't told me what specifically you might like to try." She reminded him.

"I haven't thought of any specific thing," he said honestly while he watched her hands. "I really don't know everything that you are into doing yet."

"Love, I don't fully know either. The only things I've ever done have been with you. I trust you and need your guidance to learn these things." She said truthfully.

He smiled down at her and sat up on his knees to remove his tunic when she had it fully undone, tossing it to the edge of the blankets. "We will try a little at a time then," he replied as he bent back down and captured her lips in a heated kiss, his own hands exploring beneath her shirt.

She wrapped her arms around him, digging her fingers into his back. Quickly parting her lips, her tongue slipped between his lips when he responded. Scratching her nails down his back, she teased the waistline of his trousers.

Thor moaned into her mouth as he dropped down to his elbows and ground himself against her heat. "I can't get enough of you," he murmured.

Desi gave a soft whine from need when she felt his arousal rub against her. "I'm yours to have whenever you please." She pushed his trousers and underwear down as far as she could from that position, taking care to touch him as much as possible.

He sighed and leaned into her touch while he kicked off his trousers, leaving him bare above her. "I think you are wearing too many clothes."

"You should definitely fix that." Desi teased, more than ready for him.

He helped her remove her shirt, then bent down to kiss her collarbone as he began to untie her trousers.

Desi moaned softly and reached down between them to help him with her trousers. "Why does undressing always seem to take forever?" She fussed.

Thor chuckled as he helped her remove them, then tossed them over with their other clothes. "What about now?" he asked as he laid on top of her, putting most of his weight on his elbows, instantly happy feeling the skin-on-skin contact.

"Much better, but I need you inside me." Desi whimpered, needing to feel him.

"I can do that," Thor replied softly and captured her lips as he aligned himself to her entrance and slowly entered her.

Desi moaned into the kiss and wrapped her legs around his waist. "Gods you feel so good."

"So do you," he said with a sigh as he lowered himself down, to bury within her to the hilt. "So hot and tight," he rumbled, deciding to try out a little dirty talk to see her reaction.

"And you're so big." Desi moaned. She wrapped her arms around him again and used her legs to pull him closer.

Thor grunted as he gently rocked his hips back and forth while staying buried in her warmth, moaning softly at the feeling it gave him. He kissed her softly, then nipped her jaw before he licked down to her neck. "Gods Dess..."

Desi rocked her hips in time with his, her moans increasing as she felt her passion build. "Can you go deeper?"

"Baby, I'm as deep as I can get," he said softly, all while he peppered her neck and shoulder with kisses. "Tell me what you need."

"Is there a different position that will feel deeper?" She asked, scratching down his back again.

"Do you want on your hands and knees?" he asked as he propped himself up once more.

"Yes, I will try that again." Desi said, breathless again.

Thor slowly removed himself from her body while he slowly kissed her, then pushed himself up to stand on his knees. "You liked it last time."

She whined softly when he pulled out, "I know I did, I just don't know exactly what I'm needing to feel, so I don't know if it's the right position for it." Desi tried to explain then she moved to her hands and knees.

He moved to hover over her and slowly kissed up her back, until he reached her neck. Thor smiled against her skin as he ran his length against her. "Are you ready for me?" he asked.

Desi pushed back against him for more contact. "Yes. Take me." She told him.

Thor kissed the center of her back as he entered her once more, his back curving as he filled her with every inch of his length, groaning at the feeling of her body willingly taking him inside. "You're practically sucking me in Dess," he said breathlessly.

"That's because I need you." She cried out at the added pleasure she felt in this position. "I'm not going to last long like this." She panted.

He grinned as he nipped her shoulder, still not thrusting against her. "You're that close already? I have barely moved sweetheart."

"No, not yet, but I can already feel you at all the right spots." Desi clarified, trying her best to not move until he was ready.

"How do you want it? Fast and hard? Slow and deep?" He questioned, his voice a low rumble as he ran his tongue along her shoulder blade.

Desi moaned softly at just the thought of his movements. "Slow and deep to start, then finish fast and hard?" She suggested, thinking that would bring them both the most intense pleasure.

Thor grinned as he almost removed himself from her body, then slowly thrust back in to the hilt, making him groan and wrap one arm around her waist. "Gods..." he gasped, then slowly did it once more, creating a rhythm.

"Right there... don't stop." Desi moaned, rocking her hips in time with his. She matched his rhythm and willed herself to hold out as long as possible.

"I don't think I could... if I wanted to," Thor moaned back in response as he continued to try his bed to keep his thrusts slow and deep.

"You can... go faster if you want... just don't change your angle." Desi panted, feeling him struggle.

He kissed the center of her back as he sped up his thrusts, the grip around her waist tightening. "Gods... yes."

Desi found it hard to move her hips with how he held her but put her focus on staying on her knees since her legs were already getting shaky. "Gods Thor, just like that." She cried out, gripping the blanket as tight as she could.

"I want to... try something," he panted as he moved to sit upright once more, his hands now holding her hips as he thrust. "Would it be okay? It might tip... you over the edge."

"Do whatever you want." Desi said, fine with anything at the moment.

Thor continued to thrust as he put his thumb in his mouth to wet it before he ran it along her back entrance to let her know what he was doing. "Is this okay?"

Desi gave a small gasp in surprise. "Yes, go on." She encouraged him.

He slowly pressed his thumb into her back entrance while he continued to thrust into her. "Gods Dess, your body wants everything I can give it," he said, feeling her body trying to take more of him inside her.

"I still feel like I need more." Desi moaned, arching her back to take him in. "Take me hard." She begged, trying to get a grip on herself.

"If I had an item, I would fill you in both ends," he said in a rumbling voice, hoping that his words would help her as he buried his thumb deeper and began to thrust harder. "I'm getting close darling... but I'm not finishing without you."

"I'm close as well." Desi whimpered, pressing against him harder. "We will have to find something... when we're home." She added, then cried out as her climax suddenly overwhelmed her. "Gods Thor!"

Thor groaned as he felt her clamp down around him, causing his own climax to erupt from his body. He could feel as her body took everything it could from him while he emptied into her with his final thrusts. Slowly he removed his thumb from her body, then helped her lay down, still staying within her, as he gasped for air.

Desi slumped against the blankets, feeling Thor's weight on her, but it helped her to eventually calm down. Since her back was still against him, she placed soft kisses along the portion of his arm that she could reach. "That was... intense." She said, once she had started to catch her breath.

"I don't think it's ever been like that before," Thor said softly. Slowly, he removed himself, then rolled over into his back before he pulled her up to lay on his chest.

"No it hasn't. That was... mind blowing." Desi said, curling up on top of him. "I don't know what got into me... I've never even acted like that before." She said, embarrassed now that she was calm.

He ran one hand through her hair as he gently kissed her lips. "Don't be embarrassed sweetheart. I loved every second."

Desi smiled at Thor, then pressed a kiss to his neck. "I guess that's what's happens after a busy week." She giggled.

Thor chuckled as he slowly moved to run his hand up and down her spine. "I love you Dess," he said softly.

"I love you more, my handsome prince." Desi replied, playing with a loose strand of his hair.

He grinned at her and sat them up before he reached over for his trousers. "Speaking of princes. I have something I want to ask of you."

Desi gave him a confused look, but held on to his shoulders, having no desire to end their contact. "What is it?" She asked curiously.

Thor finally found the pocket he was looking for and slowly removed a small box from it before he tossed them away again. He turned towards her and smiled bashfully. "I know we haven't been courting long, but I cannot deny how I feel," he said softly. Thor opened the little box to reveal a simple white gold ring with a red stone. "Will you honor me by becoming my queen?" He whispered.

The moment Desi saw the ring, her eyes filled with tears. The only immediate response she could give was to kiss him deeply. "Yes! Yes I will!" She said when she found her voice again.

Thor hugged her tightly to his chest and kissed her cheek then her neck. "I am elated," he told her softly as he pulled away to put the ring on her left ring finger. "I love you."

Desi looked at the ring, now on her finger, then kissed his lips again. "I love you so much." She said, still in tears. "I wasn't sure this day would ever come, but I couldn't be happier."

"I've planned this for the last couple of weeks," Thor admitted softly as he caressed her sides.

"I think it turned out perfect." Desi said truthfully, drying her eyes. "I... I don't even know what to say. I love that I'm officially yours forever."

"I'm also yours sweetheart," he said softly as he leaned up to brush his lips against hers. "I never want to be without you."

She deepened the kiss, then looked into his eyes after. "You will never be without me." She promised.
