Hello everyone, and welcome to chapter 17 of Key To Redemption! I'm glad I got such positive reviews on my last chapter, and hope that I keep getting reviews. Now then, this chapter might end up starting a bit slow since I have a slight writer's block, but I promise to pick it up as soon as I can. Now, thank you keacdragon,aandm20,19irene96 and Ryuno chu for the reviews. Keep it up people, reviews help me type better!
Loki: You get writer's block? Color me surprised.
Silver: Your sarcasm levels astound me. Now, disclaimers please Diana!
Diana: 666Silvermoon is in no way, shape or form the owner of anything in the Marvel Universe or Norse Mythology. The only things in here she owns are me, my animals, my family, and any other future OC's or places she makes that are not in the Marvel universe. She is not making any money from writing this story; it is purely for her own amusement and to entertain others. Enjoy Chapter 17!
Chapter 17
Diana's P.O.V
It was about a week after Halloween and a few days after we put away all the decorations that we got our first cold front. When all of us in the house had gone to bed the night before, there had only been a slight chill in the air, but the next morning we woke up to the ground covered in a layer of frost.
"Well, this will surely put a damper on my schedule." I told Loki and Bruce as we had an early morning cup of tea. Steve had gone out for his morning run, all bundled up in thick sweats and a hoodie, while Coulson was still sleeping.
Loki and Bruce had been up before me and I had found them sharing a cup of tea when I came down. They seemed to have started a tentative friendship over the past few days.
"Commander has the unfortunate habit of developing colds in the winter, and I'll have to keep a close eye on Cinnamon's colts in order to make sure they don't get sick too. A nasty cold or a bout of pneumonia could kill one of them." I clarified at their confused expressions.
"But isn't your barn well insulated darling? Surely it should be warm enough for the horses." Loki said, trying to reassure me as he wrapped an arm around my shoulder.
"They could still get cold, Loki. They also still need to get out and get exercise in the pastures." Bruce piped up, sipping at his herbal tea.
"I do have horse blankets, but last winter I needed to get rid of some because they had gotten torn on some loose nails in the paddock fencing or just got too worn." I told them. "I'll have to go into town today and get a few more. Otherwise I'll have to keep them inside the barn, and if I do they have a problem of getting overweight from lack of exercise."
Within the next hour, and after a breakfast of French toast and bacon, I was bundled up in blue jeans, an emerald green sweater, wool socks, heavy black boots, and a thin black hoodie. Despite my mutant abilities, I still got cold or overheated during extreme weather, but the temperature had to be pretty high or low for that to happen.
I moved around Taboo and Kida after putting my hair back into a bun as they tried following me out to my truck, but thankfully Loki held them back. I remembered that I had to get him winter things as well, as I saw he was wearing only a simple pair of jeans, socks, and a thin long sleeved dark blue shirt.
"I'll be back soon handsome. Take care of the house for me?" I asked with a smile as I pulled on some wool gloves.
"Of course I will beautiful." Loki said with a wide smile before giving me a kiss that warmed me all the way to my toes. I still had a silly smile on my face as I pulled up to the farm supply and feed store. I bought five winter weight horse blankets in various colors and paid for them with my own money instead of the credit card S.H.I.E.L.D gave me.
Buying food for the entire house and getting Halloween masks for my housemates and family was one thing, buying something for my horses was another thing. I didn't feel right using S.H.I.E.L.D's money on my horses, since I wasn't sure where their money had come from in the first place.
After setting the blankets in my truck after they had put a dent in my bank account, I headed to the nearest clothing store with stylish but affordable fashions. I figured I'd be able to get a rather good variety of winter clothing for Loki, along with gloves and a scarf or two.
Nearly an hour later I sighed as I finally left the store, the process taking longer than I had wanted. Mrs. Browning, the manager and owner of the store, had asked a few too many questions that I wasn't comfortable asking.
"Diana dear, are all of these clothes for your brother? Surely he hasn't outgrown the ones he bought last year." The elderly woman had asked as I stood at the checkout line with ten sweaters of varying colors and patterns, four pairs of insulated jeans, a thick wool coat lined with cream colored faux fur, a pair of snow boots, two pairs of insulated gloves, one pair in brown and one in black, and one scarf in black and grey houndstooth and one in a deep emerald green.
"No Mrs. Browning, they're for a friend of mine." I told her with a forced smile, not wanting to tell her about Loki being my boyfriend. If I did the entire town would know about it by dinner time.
She had humphed in barely veiled disdain as she rung up my purchases. "Would your 'friend' happen to be the one who gave you a rather public kiss on Halloween night?"
I had clenched my teeth to keep from snapping at her, since she was off the old fashioned persuasion that felt that displays of affection were better held in private and that women should be married by the time they're my age, like she had been in her time.
"I am terribly sorry Mrs. Browning, but I'm on a rather busy schedule today." I told her tightly as I paid for my purchases and left.
I sighed once again as I put the clothes in my truck and tried rubbing away the migraine that was taking up residence in my head.
Just then, my cell phone went off. I dug it out of my pocket slowly and without looking at it I answered the call.
"Hello?" I said, and almost groaned as I heard Tony's voice on the other end of the line.
"Hey firecracker, where are you? Clint and I just pulled up to your house and Lokester the jokester won't tell us where you went." Tony's chipper voice said as I started up my truck to head back home.
"I'm in town Tony; I needed to get more horse blankets since a few were damaged last year and then I needed to get Loki some winter clothing." I told him, trying to be patient as I headed up the main street and out of town.
"Ah, alright, you should probably get back soon anyways; I think Clint is trying to engage Loki in a fight." Tony said evenly, and it was only then that I heard sounds of arguing in the background.
"Why aren't you doing anything to stop it then?" I asked angrily as I put a little more speed in getting home.
"Well, it's not my fight. Plus it's rather entertaining watching the two of them go at it." Tony said, and I could almost hear the grin in his voice.
I growled in the back of my throat. "I'll be there in ten minutes Stark." I said before hanging up.
I managed to make it home in six.
I could see both Loki and Clint arguing in front of the barn, Loki shivering a bit as he stood in front of the barn's open doors without a jacket but with his old boots on his feet. He was standing firmly in front of Clint, who was gesticulating wildly about him as he yelled. Stark was just leaning back against the wall of the barn, moving his head back and forth between the two of them like they were a tennis match.
I parked my truck in my driveway before exiting it, shedding my hoodie and tossing it to the back seat and storming over to them. The tail end of their conversation reached my ears as I got within hearing distance.
"I should have put an arrow through your eye when I had a chance, you crazy bastard!" Clint yelled as he jabbed a finger in Loki's face. Loki expectedly sneered at the angry archer and slapped his hand away from his face.
"I would like to see you try, you puny insect!" Loki growled out, and Clint seemed to snap.
He tackled Loki and started punching him wildly in the face and the chest. Loki, true to form, started sending punches back and clawed at whatever skin he could get to.
I growled angrily and grabbed hold of Clint's waist from behind, and with a grunt I tossed him backwards up and over my head. I turned and stood in front of Loki as Clint rolled and then jumped to his feet.
"Oh, now you need Diana to protect you, you pathetic piece of shit?!" Clint almost screamed, and I saw that his eyes had a wild look to them with dark circles under them. I could smell alcohol on his breath, so he was at least partially drunk or hung over.
"Stand down, Agent Barton. You're tired and unhinged, think about what you're doing." I told him, as Loki stood up behind me. I kept my eyes focused on Clint though.
"You don't know me, Sullivan! You don't know what that psychopath did to me!" Clint yelled, taking a threatening step forward.
A wall of fire erupted in front of him, separating him from Loki and I. "I said, stand down Barton!" I angrily told him, holding out an arm to feed the fire and so I could move it at a moment's notice.
"He's not worth your energy, love." Loki said into my ear, and I turned towards him to chastise him, but I never got the chance.
A loud bang and a bright flash happened behind me, making the wall of fire expand for a split second before it extinguished, but by then the damaged had been done. My ears were ringing and the skin on my arm and the back of my neck felt tight and hot.
Clint shot past me as I was still reeling from the explosion, and had once again tackled Loki to the ground. But their grunts and yells weren't the only sounds in the air.
I shakily turned as I heard groans of pain and anger in the direction of my house, and I nearly groaned as I saw Bruce on all fours on the ground, his skin turning a decidedly green shade.
"Oh fuck…" I cursed past my lips, and tried to walk towards him, but my head felt fuzzy and thick.
I saw more than heard Tony rush past me as he kneeled next to Bruce, obviously trying to calm him down.
With Tony focused on Bruce, I hurried to separate Clint from Loki, shoving with all my body weight against the shorter man to move him off and away from Loki. I snarled at him and shoved him again, knocking him off balance and to the ground.
"You fuckin' idiot!" I yelled at him, my temper flaring. "Now look at what you've done!" I pointed a finger towards Bruce, and saw Clint lose all color in his face before he stood and backed up.
I groaned again as a bolt of pain went through my head and up my spine as I staggered on my feet.
Damn it, what the fuck did he do?! I thought angrily as I helped Loki to his feet. Ice ran down my spine as a loud roar split the air.
I turned and saw a behemoth with bright green skin, bulging muscles, a mop of black hair on his head, and a pissed off expression on his face.
The Hulk had come out to play.
Hulk tossed Tony aside, who had somehow gotten into one of his Iron Man suits, and turned in our direction with a roar. I saw out of the corner of my eye Tony flying through the air and through a few trees.
"HULK DON'T LIKE EXPLOSION!" He roared out as he stalked towards us. His anger seemed to radiate from every pore. It was so overwhelming that it took hold of me enough so that my own anger took control, pushing aside the fuzziness in my head and the pain in back of my neck and my arm.
I could almost taste Hulk's rage as my senses heightened, my eyesight and hearing sharpening. My nostrils flared as I took in short breaths, catching the acrid scent of fear coming from both Loki and Clint, though Clint's was fainter as he was father away.
I barely felt Loki trying to pull me back, or the death grip he had on my hand. What I did feel was the shivering that took hold of his body, and that only made me more determined to protect him.
I barely noticed my nails extending into claws, or my teeth turning into fangs, or my pupils turning into thin slits. I did however feel my muscles tensing and moving under my skin. I groaned and snarled at the burning feeling of them seeming to expand, and I growled as I felt a burning around the bottom half of my face and my throat. I wasn't familiar with the feeling, but I was too angry to give a damn at the moment.
"HULK DON'T LIKE PUNY GOD!" The Hulk roared, and I heard Loki's frightened gasp behind me. The fear coming off of him was so tangible I could almost taste it. Who wouldn't be afraid of the Hulk after being tossed about like a rag doll by him?
However, that wasn't gonna happen again. If Hulk even slapped Loki aside, it would crush his bones and liquefy his organs, killing him almost instantly. He would have to go through me first.
Hulk roared again as he charged us, and without a single thought I stepped forward and brought in big lungfuls of air, and roared right back at him. I felt the ground shaking under my feet as the sound seemed to echo, causing Hulk to stop in his charge and stare at me almost in what seemed like surprise. From an outsider's point of view, I suppose it would sound like the roar of a large cat, just loud enough to shake the ground.
I cut off my roar and snarled, baring my teeth at the green behemoth as I felt power and anger entwining inside me.
"DON'T. TOUCH. HIM!" I growled out, voice deeper and more guttural than before with teeth bared and muscles tense as I waited for a charge that never came.
Instead, Hulk snorted and sat down with a loud thud, looking at Loki and me from the side before he seemed to calm down. Within a minute Bruce was back, wearing nothing but a pair of pants that had been shredded beyond repair. He had to hold them up as he stood from the shallow crater Hulk had put in my front yard.
I felt the anger and adrenaline leave me, my body shaking a bit as I sighed before turning to Loki.
He was staring at me with shock on his face, and a tiny bit of fear. I felt ice grip my heart as I looked at him.
"Loki? What-" I cut myself off as I heard my voice coming from my throat. It was deeper and rougher than normal, like a thick growl was mixed with it. I reached my hands up to grip it, and saw my nails were still claws, but pitch black in color. I felt my teeth with my tongue, and nearly cut it with how sharp they still were.
"Wh-what's wrong with me?!" I said frantically. I brought my hands up to feel my teeth, and instead felt the now unfamiliar shape of the lower half of my face. I nearly screamed as my fingers went over the extended mouth and nose, and I started hyperventilating.
"Diana, you need to calm down. You're starting to panic, and that's not a good thing." Bruce said as he came up on my other side, but I could feel myself still panicking. I looked around, before bolting to my truck and looking at myself in one of its' side mirrors.
The face in the mirror was nearly unrecognizable. The jaw and nose had been extended so it resembled more of a short muzzle, and the nostrils were wider than normal. The eyes seemed larger, with no white visible, just icy blue and a black slit of a pupil. The jaw seemed wider, with the lateral incisors, canines, and the first premolars on both the upper and lowers jaws were sharpened like fangs. (2)
I barely heard Loki and Bruce talking behind me, or Tony and Clint talking to Steve and Coulson on my porch. The only thing I heard was white noise as I stared at my reflection in the mirror, and one word echoing through my head before everything went black and I knew no more.
Freak.
Third P.O.V
Loki quickly reached out and caught Diana around her waist as she collapsed, and he cursed himself for not comforting her when she needed it. No matter how much she changed on the outside, she was still the same Diana he had fallen in love with.
He helplessly looked over her still transformed face, before watching in silent awe as it slowly morphed back to normal. He gently picked her up; he was glad he had been gaining muscle back over the last month, before heading inside her house.
He gently laid her down on the couch in the living room, before heading back outside where everyone else stood.
"What exactly happened, Barton?" Loki caught Steve asking Clint angrily. Clint for his part stared at the ground mulishly before answering.
"I was arguing with loco Loki and Diana comes up in her truck and tries separating us." He started off, and Loki glared at him for the insult. "She tried talking me down, but I wouldn't listen. Next thing I know, she has a wall of fire in front of me and starts threatening me with it."
"She did no such thing! She was simply trying to calm you down, but then you cause an explosion that makes the Hulk emerge!" Loki said angrily, before turning to Bruce. "No offense meant of course, Bruce."
"None taken trust me. I know that you're a bit twitchy around the big guy, with good reason." Bruce assured Loki. "I tried holding him back, but he was bound and determined to come out for some reason."
"Maybe he just wanted to meet Big Red." Tony said with a shrug. "But what was up with that roar of hers? I sure as hell wasn't expecting that."
Bruce softly chuckled. "I don't think the big guy was either. From what I could feel, he was pretty shocked at something roaring back at him for once, and at the possessiveness in Diana's voice when she was defending you, Loki."
Loki lightly blushed, but cleared his throat to distract the others from it. "Well, considering how valued Diana is to me, and I to her, it's no wonder she felt a bit protective."
"Aww, look at Loki blushing." Tony said with a grin. "Bet it made you feel all warm and fuzzy when you watched Red go toe to toe with the big guy."
Loki snorted and glared at Tony. "I was more concerned about her safety, Stark."
"Well, I don't think you'll have to worry about that from the Hulk, Loki. It seems Diana's earned his respect." Bruce assured him. Loki felt his shoulders relax a bit, before he headed back inside to stand vigil over Diana.
It wasn't until two hours later, and after Steve was kind enough to move the horse blankets from her truck to the barn, that she finally stirred, before opening her eyes. Diana wondered how she had gotten inside, before bolting upright as the memories rushed back to her.
She looked down at her fingers, and saw normal nails at the ends of them. She moved her tongue around her teeth, and felt them back to normal. She brought her hands up to feel her face, and sighed in relief at its' familiar and slightly flat shape.
"You went back to normal after you passed out, darling." Loki said from her side, and she turned to him before turning away.
"Th-that's never happened to me before." She said quietly before bringing her knees up to her chest and burying her face in them. "Why do I have to be such a freak?" She murmured softly to herself, too soft for Loki to hear.
"I imagined it hasn't, otherwise you wouldn't have fainted." Loki said with a small smile. "Are you ok now?"
"I…I don't know." She told him sadly, feeling a wave of depression hit her. "I feel even more abnormal than I was before."
"Darling, you're perfect just the way you are." Loki said softly.
Diana whipped her head up to stare at him. "Then why did you look at me with such open fear?"
Loki sighed, feeling the edges of guilt creep up on him. The last thing Diana needed was for him to be afraid of her and to show it. She was self-conscious enough.
"That wasn't fear of you darling. I was feeling fear for you." Loki told her softly before he sat next to her on the couch and brought her into his arms.
Almost unconsciously Diana curled up against his side, radiating heat to warm his cooler skin. She set her head up under his jaw, and he turned his face to rest his cheek on her crown.
"I know how self-conscious you are about your powers at some points love, and I didn't know what was going on with you, and I was afraid something was going wrong." Loki said, gently stroking rubbing her shoulder with one hand.
She sighed, but relented. "Ok, I can see why you'd be afraid now. Hell, I was pretty afraid too, once I felt that I had grown a snout."
Loki laughed, causing her to giggle a bit at the absurdity of it as well. She looked up at Loki with a soft smile before giving him a chaste kiss.
"Thanks handsome." She told him with a small smile. "You made me feel better."
Loki smiled back, stroking her shoulder again. "It was a pleasure."
Diana smiled a bit wider, before hissing in discomfort and moving away from his hand as it brushed her neck.
"Ow…" She complained, bringing her fingertips up to touch the back of her neck. The skin on it felt tight and dry, and she flinched as her hand moved over a blister.
She whined a bit at the pain as Loki made her turn away from him, showing the back of her neck to him. He hissed in sympathy as he saw the second degree burn partially covering her neck. She whimpered as he lightly brushed his fingertips over her neck.
"Does it look as bad as it feels?" She asked him, pain tinging her voice.
"It does look pretty bad. I thought because you could control and conjure fire you were immune to it darling?" Loki told her in a questioning tone, causing her to lightly shake her head.
"I wish it was that way, but unless I concentrate I can be just as easily burned as the next person. I can drown, be crushed in an avalanche, or asphyxiate like any normal person too." She informed him before standing from the couch and heading to the downstairs bathroom.
She looked down at her hand as she reached to turn on the water in the sink, and saw that it too was red and shiny. She winced before turning on the water to lukewarm before putting her hand under the spray and concentrating.
The water glowed around her hand softly as it healed the burned skin on it. Within a minute the skin had returned to normal. She sighed in relief before turning and craning her head to look at her neck.
She winced as she stretched the skin before huffing in annoyance and turning to Loki, who had followed her to make sure she got all healed up.
"Loki, would you be a dear and follow me upstairs for a moment?" She asked him, and then exited the downstairs bathroom before heading upstairs to hers.
Loki only hesitated for a moment before following her upstairs.
Once they reached her bathroom she hesitated for a moment before turning to him, a faint blush on her cheeks.
"Would you um…help me navigate where to heal my neck?" She asked him shyly. "It's kind of more difficult to heal a wound when it's on my back."
Loki gently smiled at her, agreeing to her request silently. Without further ado, Diana turned and started taking off her sweater.
Loki now understood why she had a blush earlier, because he could feel a faint one bloom on his cheeks himself as he looked at the detailed canvas that is Diana's back. Her tree of life tattoo covering the entire expense just as perfect as the last time he saw it, though part of it was obscured by the bra straps going across her back.
Loki could feel his mouth go dry as he swallowed nervously as he looked in her bathroom mirror. Diana had her head partially turned away from her reflection, a noticeable blush on her cheeks.
Her moderately sized breasts were covered in a sapphire blue bra with a black flowers embroidered on it, and he couldn't help but think about how delectable they looked to him. If he had the time, he surely could have looked at them for much longer, just fantasizing about what he'd like to do to them.
However, he pulled himself together and smiled at Diana, though she could see the lust in his eyes as he looked at her. She blushed harder as she moved the water in the sink to her hand, and brought it up to her neck.
Without prompting, Loki gently grabbed her wrist and guided her hand over the burned skin on the back of her neck. Diana winced again before sighing softly as the water started to glow, healing the red and blistered wound.
After a few minutes, she sighed in contentment before moving the water away from her neck, showing that only a bare amount of redness remained on her neck. She discarded the water from the sink, before going to turn. However, Loki's hands on her shoulders stopped her.
He felt the tense muscles in her shoulders, before he started kneading the muscles to relax them. Diana almost moaned at how good his hands felt working at her tense muscles, relaxing them under his hands and turning her into putty.
Loki could see how much his massage was affecting Diana, and he felt a smug satisfaction as he helped her relax. Feeling bold, he leaned his head forward, placing his lips along her neck and caressing it.
"Does that feel good, darling?" He almost seemed to purr to Diana, causing a slight shiver to go up her spine.
She was softly blushing, feeling embarrassed that she had taken off her sweater in the first place and showing off her upper body to Loki. Loki on the other hand was happy, though he did think that the sweater she was wearing had been incredibly arousing, since it had accentuated her curves and it was his favorite color.
Diana moved to cover her chest with her arms, and some of her more noticeable scars, but Loki shook his head and gently moved her arms down to her sides.
"Don't, darling. You have nothing to be ashamed of." Loki whispered in her ear, gently stroking the shell of it with his lips. "Your body is beautiful."
Diana looked at her torso in the mirror, as did Loki. He saw lightly tanned skin, making the lightness of her eyes and her flaming red hair all the more prominent. A dozen or so scars crossed over her toned stomach, sides, and even across the tops of her breasts. In his mind they only added to her beauty, showing that she was a survivor.
She was slightly lightly blushing, but she wasn't trying to cover up anymore. She lightly bit her lip as Loki moved his lips down her neck, lightly pressing kisses along the way.
Loki saw how he was affecting Diana, and decided to step it up a notch. Along with kissing her neck, he gently sucked on the skin there. He moved up and down her neck, looking for her sweet spot.
Diana shuddered and let out a small moan as he latched himself onto the skin below and slightly behind her left ear. Loki heard and softly chuckled against her skin.
"Is that your sweet spot, darling? Is that the spot that will make you putty in my hands?" Loki purred into her neck, sucking and nibbling on her neck.
Diana couldn't respond, her mind was going fuzzy and her knees were going weak. She bit her lip as Loki nibbled on her neck again, and let out a moan and arched back against him as he nibbled on her ear lobe.
Loki growled as Diana inadvertently moved against his clothed member, and he grinded it back against her, showing off just how hard he had gotten.
"L-Loki…" She moaned out, her body slightly shaking in both pleasure, and fear.
Loki stopped what he was doing, and gently turned Diana to face him.
"Diana, if you want me to stop now than say so love." Loki almost begged her. His body was heated in his lust for her and his eyes were dark and blown out. "Say one word, and I will leave and I will wait until you are more comfortable. Say one word, and no matter how much I crave your body, or how much I wish to feel your flesh wrapped around mine, I will leave."
Diana looked up at Loki, feeling the lust that still heated her body as she thought. With one word, Loki would leave her room and most likely go take a cold shower to deal with his current predicament. But was that truly what she wanted?
No, it's not what she wanted. What she wanted was for Loki to show her the kind of pleasure that neither Thomas, nor Benjamin, her first boyfriend, ever could. She didn't want to be afraid of her body anymore; deep down she wanted to be worshipped, and to worship in turn.
Without another thought, Diana reached up, grabbed Loki by his shirt, and brought him down to crash his lips back onto hers. He moaned into her mouth as she opened her lips, reaching out her tongue to entwine with his.
She moaned back into his mouth, before being bold and grabbing the root of his hair and pulling it hard enough to move is head back, baring his throat to her.
Loki groaned at the feeling, and then moaned as Diana attacked his neck with kisses and bites. He found that he quite liked Diana being dominant, if his rock hard cock was any indication.
"I want you Loki…" Diana said in between nipping and sucking on his neck. "I want you to take me, but I want you to be good to me too."
She released his hair, and he brought his lips down onto hers before slowly moving her to her bed. Once she felt the mattress hitting the back of her knees, she slowly lowered herself onto it and moved back to lie in the middle of her bed.
Loki just looked at her for a moment, lust and heat exuding from his body before he knelt down and slowly shucked her boots and socks from her feet. With that done, he crawled up the bed towards her, moving like a panther stalking his prey.
*alarms start sounding* WARNING! WARNING! Here is where my story starts earning its M rating, so I'm warning anyone underage or not into adult scenes to jump ahead to this part's ending. This is your only warning people.
Diana watched as his muscles moved under his skin, and bit her lip as he spread kisses up her stomach to her collarbone. He moved his hands down her ribs and around to the front of her pants and slowly unbuttoned and unzipped them.
He moved her pants down, revealing smooth legs that seemed to go on forever with lightly tanned skin. He growled hungrily as he saw the blue and black lace thong that she was wearing over her core.
Diana lightly blushed as he looked at her cunt, making it all the wetter and hotter under her thong.
"You're wearing too many clothes." She softly but firmly told Loki, causing him to smirk at her.
"Then why don't you help me?" He suggested, and sat back on his heels. That was all the invitation that she needed.
She sat up, and kissed him heatedly, moving her hands under his shirt and slowly lifting it up. She broke the kiss and moved the skirt over his head, slowly moving her hands over his chest.
She looked up at him as she moved her hands over his numerous scars. His burn scars had faded a bit with the time he had been here, but they still stood out against his pale skin. The same could be said for the rest of his scars.
She felt her anger simmer inside of her, but she pushed it away before ducking her head down and pressing her lips to the scar directly over his heart.
She moved her lips all over his chest slowly, pressing kisses to each scar that she can reach before slowly moving her lips back up to press to his.
Loki felt a tear slowly make its way down his cheek as he kissed her back. He realized that Diana truly did accept him the way he was, scars and all. It scared him, for she still had yet to see his Jotun form, but it also invigorated his need to have her.
She moved her hands to his pants as he toed off his socks, her hands unbuttoning them and moving the zipper down. He stood from the bed, pushing both his pants and his boxers down, causing his cock to stand erect.
Diana took in a sharp breath as she saw his cock. At attention, it was at least 8 inches long, with a rather moderate girth as well and slightly curved up towards his stomach. A bead of pre-cum gleamed at his red cockhead, and she felt the urge to taste him, and so she ducked her head down to lick at the head of his cock.
Loki gasped, not expecting her to do that and he gently grabbed her shoulders.
"Darling, are you su-" Loki's next words were drowned out with a moan as Diana took the head of his cock into her mouth and started sucking on it gently.
She slowly moves her tongue around his cock, licking up his surprisingly sweet pre-cum before gently sucking on his head. If the moans Loki's letting out are any indication to her, it's that she's doing a good job at it.
She slowly started taking in more of his cock, gently sucking on it before adding more pressure.
She can taste the pre-cum on her tongue as she sucks, and she can feel the tautness in Loki's thighs from forced control. She decides to switch it up, and releases his cock.
She moves her tongue from the base all the way to his tip, before moving it around his head. She runs her tongue over and over the erect flesh, savoring the taste and texture. She brought one hand up, gently cradling Loki's testicles in her hand and massaging them.
She hears another moan from above, and she brings her eyes up to see Loki, mouth open, head thrown back, face creased in concentration as his chest heaved.
It gave her a sense of empowerment.
Being bold, she took more of his cock inside of her mouth than she had before, and heavily sucked on it like it was a particularly thick milkshake. The reaction was instantaneous.
Loki let out a loud moan, his hands scrambling to grab hold of her shoulders as his body burned in pleasure. "Diana! I can't," he pants. "I can't hold on."
Diana, feeling a lot more confidence than she would be feeling any other time, released Loki's cock. "Oh no you don't darling, you're not cumming so soon in the game." She told him with a sly smile before backing up to lie on her bed.
She gave him a 'Come hither' gesture, and he stepped out of his pants and boxers and moved up the bed to her.
He kissed her fiercely, putting all the passion that he could into it before moving down her body. He moved his hands around to her back, causing her to arch up to give him easier access. He unhooked the back of her bra, and she brought the straps down her shoulders before tossing it.
Loki felt his cock twitch as he looked upon Diana's breasts. The flesh on them was paler than the rest of her skin, with her nipples being a brownish pink. Not even the few thin and pale scars crisscrossing along the tops of them could retract from their beauty in his eyes.
Without further hesitation, Loki brought his head down and swiped his tongue against one of her nipples. Diana's slight gasp spurred him on to swirl his tongue around her nipple, moving his hand up to gently massage her opposite breast.
Her moans of pleasure were music to his ears as he nipped and sucked on her nipple, making it pebble in his mouth as his fingers gently pulled and twisted the other nipple.
He soon alternated, giving each nipple the attention it deserved until they were both hard and Diana's chest was heaving with her mouth open as she moaned. "Loki! Stop teasing me, please!" She moaned out, "I can't take much more of this…"
Loki darkly chuckled as he slowly released her nipple after giving it a final nip. "Oh darling, I'm just getting started."
He slowly moved down her body, pressing kisses to whatever scars he came across, worshipping her curves before he hovered above her still covered nether regions.
He moved his hands up, and slowly pulled her thong down her womanly hips to expose her to him. He tosses the thong aside once he pulls it off of her, and slowly spreads open her legs.
Her outer lips were slightly spread already, showing her dark pink inner lips and the fact that her juices completely soaked her. It was well groomed, the lips themselves and the area around her tight hole hairless but the area above her hooded clit held a short bundle of bright red curls.
Loki's mouth watered as he beheld her open and glistening for him, and he eagerly brings his mouth down on her.
Diana moaned as he slowly moved his tongue along her slit, her body burning in want. Loki darted his tongue up and down her slit, before spearing her cunt with his tongue. He moaned at the taste, eagerly licking up her juices and causing Diana to writhe under him.
Her body was on fire, her heart was racing, and she couldn't get enough of his mouth. Her soft moans filled the room, causing him to want to hear her moan louder. He took his tongue and moved it up to her still hooded clit, moving it around until she was sobbing in pleasure.
"Loki-darling I'm going to cum!" She told him, her eyes opening and looking down at him. He sees that the blue orbs he loves so much are fully dilated, with only a thin edge of blue around black.
"Cum for me, beautiful… let go and release yourself to me my sweetling, and cum calling my name." Loki told her huskily as he came up from her wet core, before going back down on her and swirling his tongue against her clit.
Diana felt her body's pleasure rise and crest as she climaxed against his mouth, moaning and sobbing out his name as her body burned and tensed before going limp.
Loki gave her one last lick before moving up her body, pressing open mouth kisses up her now sensitive body. Diana shivered and moaned before her pressed his open mouth against hers. She could taste herself on his tongue, but that didn't detract her. It only made her more eager to have him.
Loki broke the kiss, looking at her with eyes just as blown out as hers were. "Darling, I would have you if you'd let me." He whispered to her, "I am aching to have you wrapped around my cock; I am craving to fill you with it."
Diana nodded before quickly reaching for her nightstand and extracting a condom from the top drawer. "It's a condom; it'll help make sure I don't get pregnant." She told him to clear up his confusion. "I'm on birth control, but I don't wanna take the chance."
He nodded as she tore open the packet and unraveled the condom onto his hard and throbbing cock. With that done, Loki positioned himself at her entrance, but he hesitates.
Diana, seeing the hesitation, and not liking it one bit, grabs Loki's hips and pull, spearing herself on his cock. They both moaned, throwing their heads back in pleasure.
Diana had never felt so full and stretched before, granted it had been three years since she last had sex, though it didn't count for much, since it had been Thomas. She pushed those thoughts away, and wrapped her arms around Loki's shoulders and just enjoyed the feeling of him moving inside of her.
He was feeling just as much pleasure as she was, what with her flesh wrapping so snugly around his cock and with it being so hot and wet inside of her. He felt her wrap her arms around his shoulders and he brought his head down onto her shoulder as he slowly moved inside of her.
Diana bit her lip to stifle her moans, but couldn't help little whimpers escaping her throat as Loki slowly started picking up speed.
"You feel so good darling, you feel like heaven…" Loki muttered into her ear as he moved a bit faster, but not so fast that he would end up cutting their intercourse short.
Diana moaned in response, not knowing how to form words to say in her pleasure fogged mind as Loki moved in and out of her.
Loki soon felt his testicles tightening, signaling his oncoming climax. Not wanting to leave Diana wanting more, he thrust inside of her faster, and brought one of his hands between them to rub at her little bundle of nerves.
Still being sensitive from her last orgasm, it didn't take long for Diana to reach the peak of one again. "Loki," she choked out despite her pleasure addled brain, "I'm going to cum again!"
"Cum for me darling, cum with me." Loki growled out, his own climax quickly approaching as he moved inside her faster.
Diana moaned out as her body shook in her climax, and reached up and sank her teeth into the juncture between Loki's neck and shoulder.
Loki cried out, the pain of Diana's bite and the spasmodic tightening of her pussy sent him over the edge as he came inside of the condom.
For a few moments they just laid there, panting from exhaustion, slightly sweaty, reveling in the afterglow.
Loki gently extracted himself from Diana, and collapsed beside her on the bed. He looked at her in wonder, like she was nothing he had ever seen before. In the light of the afternoon sun shining in through the window, she was exquisite.
He studied her, not intently exactly, but with a sort of relaxed ease. He saw little things about her that he hadn't noticed before.
The scars she bore on her body were a dark pink against her skin, and the skin of them was raised.
His eyes caught sight of a rather large scar on her side, right behind her right breast. It was indented instead of raised though, and was white instead of dark pink. He slowly brought his hand up and caressed it with the tips of his fingers.
"That's where Thomas stabbed me and ended up puncturing my lung." Diana told him without prompting. "The doctors had to make it larger in order to re-inflate and empty my lung of blood, before closing it back up."
"If that pitiful excuse of a mortal ever shows his face here, I'll gladly eviscerate him and choke him with his own intestines." Loki told her with a growl.
Diana simply smiled and gave him a gentle kiss, calming him down and pushing all thoughts of bloodshed out of his mind.
End of sex scene, its all clear the rest of the chapter folks, for the most part.
They soon extracted themselves from the bed, and cleaned themselves of the sweat and scent of sex they had acquired. The warm shower they had shared was filled with more exploration of the other's body with tentative touches and gentle kisses.
When they finally exited the shower, and after dressing in the clothing they had previously worn, they headed downstairs, after deciding to get it over with and face the rest of their housemates.
When they entered the kitchen they found Coulson and Steve making grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup for a late lunch. Bruce was sipping a cup of tea at the kitchen island, while Tony and Clint, Diana coolly observed, were arguing over her collection of DVD's while trying to find a movie to watch.
"Here, let me give you a hand Steve." Diana said as she helped him move the soup and sandwiches to the living room, where everyone had either sat on the sofa or on the floor to have an ample amount of room.
Soon everyone was digging in to the cheesy goodness of the sandwiches and the creamy smoothness of the soup, and trying to ignore the way Kida and Taboo were eyeing the sandwiches. However, the easy-going atmosphere tensed as Tony made a noise in the back of his throat.
"Is that a bite mark I spy on our resident prisoner's neck?" Tony said with a smug grin, reaching out and pulling Loki's shirt aside to fully reveal the bruising bite Diana left on his neck.
Loki slapped away Tony's hands with a growl. "My body is none of your business Stark. And in Diana's home I am anything but a prisoner."
"Guess you two disappeared upstairs for some bow chika wow wow, then?" Tony asked, his grin not wavering. At Loki's confused look, he clarified. "You and Bid Red were getting busy upstairs, or just basically fucking."
Diana glared at Tony, though the slight blush on her cheeks belayed her embarrassment. "What Loki and I do in our spare time is none of your business Tony."
"Apparently your spare time together includes doing each other." Tony said nonchalantly. "So who topped who in the little arrangement?"
"If you honestly think either of us is going to deign that with an answer, you are crazier than I thought you were." She shot back.
"I wonder if it's true that redheads are the kinkiest in bed. What do you say Loki?" Tony said, turning to the ex-god, disregarding Diana's glare in its entirety.
"That's enough Tony. What Diana and Loki do is their business, not ours." Bruce said evenly.
"Oh come on Brucie, you can't tell me that you're not curious about what they do behind closed doors."
"I honestly can, and I doubt Pepper would agree with you poking your nose into their personnel business." Bruce chastised.
Tony waved away his concerns, causing Steve and Coulson to roll their eyes at the billionaire.
"Tony, just drop it." Steve piped up. "It's not that big of a deal."
"Says the man who hasn't been laid in decades." Tony shot back. "I'm sure to Lucy here it's a big deal, considering how well her last relationship went."
Diana felt her heart constrict with pain and sadness at being reminded of the disaster that was Thomas, before pushing it away with anger. "Exactly how many times did you end up sleeping with a blonde bimbo that shook their tits at you Stark?" She sneered at him.
"More times than I can count, but at least I've never had any psycho ex's." He replied.
The awkward silence that was brought upon that remark was broken as Diana calmly stood up, put her dirty dishes in the kitchen sink, and pulled on her riding boots at the door.
She turned to face Coulson and Loki, who had followed her from the kitchen. "There's a Domino's in town, their number is on the fridge if you guys want to order pizza for dinner. Just put it on the S.H.I.E.L.D charge card; I won't be joining you." She told him before leaving the house.
Coulson and Loki watched her from the front window as a few minutes later she rode out of the barn atop Apollo and down one of the trails.
Both men turned towards Tony, Loki in anger and Coulson in disappointment.
"Pitiful Stark, extremely pitiful." Coulson told Tony neutrally, and Clint could see the small vein pulsing in his temple. That showed how upset Coulson actually was.
"Say anything like that to her again, and I will cut out your tongue and ram it down your throat." Loki said, venom lacing his voice as he stared at Tony.
"I'm disappointed in you Tony, and so would Pepper and Rhodey if they heard that." Bruce said with a shake of his head. Kida and Taboo barked their agreement, with Taboo throwing in a growl at Tony for good measure. Kona, who had previously been sitting in Tony's lap, vacated his spot without a backward glance at him. Instead moving to Steve's lap, and moving to put his back to Tony.
Atlas gave Tony the sink eye from his position on the arm of Loki's black wingback chair, and Cleo hissed at Tony from her positon on the back of the couch.
"Jeez, even the animals are ganging up on me. What's everyone's problem?" Tony demanded, causing even Clint to face palm at his stupidity.
"The problem is that you were being an obnoxious ass who didn't know when to quit." Steve told Tony, and Tony knew then that he had gone a bit far. After all, Captain America didn't curse for just any reason.
It wasn't until that night, after Tony and Clint had left, after the leftovers were put away and after Loki had retrieved the clothes Diana had gotten him from town that she finally returned home. She took her time in rubbing down Apollo and brushing the dirt from his coat that she finally went inside, to find Loki clad in his pajamas waiting for her in the kitchen with a warm mug of hot cocoa.
They didn't speak while Diana drank her cocoa, but it was a companionable silence. When Diana finished, Loki quietly cleaned the mug before turning to her and gently kissing her.
"Stay with me?" She asked him softly, looking up at him with bloodshot and puffy eyes. And how could Loki say no to her? So he simply followed her upstairs to her bedroom and patiently waited for her while she showered. When she exited the bathroom they both went under the covers and held each other throughout the night.
A few weeks later, Thanksgiving Day dawned bright and cold. Half a foot of snow covered the ground, and Diana and her mother were a whirlwind in the kitchen.
Steve, Bruce, Aiden, Loki, and Coulson all watched from a safe distance as the two women moved around the kitchen. Bubbling pots on the stove were stirred, ingredients were mixed together for stuffing, and the turkey in the oven was checked and basted.
Early that morning, Loki had woken up to find Diana missing from the master bedroom. They had been sharing it since they had first had sex. Loki certainly didn't mind, as having Diana sleeping next to him seemed to make his nightmares cut back.
They had only had sex once more since he had moved to sharing her bed, and it had been after a rather bad nightmare on his part. Neither one had intended for it to happen, but after Diana had calmed Loki down and showed him that he wasn't alone, it had soon progressed to them having sex under the covers.
Loki softly smiled as he remembered how Diana had looked when he had woken up the next morning. She kept surprising him with how lovely she could look.
"Are you two sure you don't need any help?" Steve asked. He felt a bit useless just standing there as he saw Diana and Corrine move about the kitchen. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade had just ended, and the football game wasn't scheduled till later.
"Thank you Steve, but my mother and I have a handle on things." Diana said as she sent him a smile over her shoulder. "But could you, Loki, and Bruce please go and check on the horses? I haven't been able to let them out yet today."
"Not a problem, darling." Loki told her, snagging a kiss from her as she passed by heading to the pantry. "And we'll make sure to bundle them up as well."
"Please do, I don't want any of you getting a cold." She told them.
With that, the three of them bundled up themselves and headed outside. "Anything I can do to help, Mrs. Sullivan?" Coulson asked Corrine, and she took pity on him by asking if he could help with the mashed potatoes. Aiden was roped into helping with the stuffing by Diana after he tried sneaking away.
Within the next hour, everyone had a plate of steaming hot food and was sitting at the dining room table together. Corrine had asked Steve to say a small prayer before they ate, and though he blushed he agreed to it.
"Dear Lord, we thank you for this bountiful meal and ask that you bless it so that it nourishes our bodies and brings peace to our souls." He started out. "We also thank you for Diana allowing us into her home so that we may have this meal together, and for that we are grateful. We hope that the Avengers won't be needed for a while yet, but we understand if they will be. Once again, thank you for this meal and hope that the rest of our friends are having a peaceful Thanksgiving themselves. Amen."
"Amen." Everyone at the table but Loki said back, before they all dug into the feast that Diana and Corrine had cooked.
A golden brown turkey was the centerpiece obviously, with dishes of fresh cranberry sauce, fluffy mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, mixed vegetables, sweet potato casserole, and dinner rolls. For dessert, Corrine had brought a pumpkin pie and a chocolate pecan pie, and there was plenty of whipped cream for both.
By the end of the meal, even Steve was stuffed full of the good food, and they all moved to the living room to watch the football game, granted Diana couldn't resist giving her pets a bit of the turkey, without the bones, drippings, or skin, and some veggies for being good.
Aiden, Steve, and Coulson were the most vocal out of them all, with Bruce and Corrine on one side of the sofa and Loki and Diana on the other side.
Diana Sighed in content as she leaned against Loki with her legs curled up beneath her. "So, what did you think of Thanksgiving?" She softly asked Loki as the game continued on the TV.
"I have to admit, the food was certainly wonderful." He told her equally as softly back. "I liked it, though the gorging on food was a bit much."
She smiled sleepily at him and yawned. "Well, just wait till next month with Christmas. It'll be even more chaotic, what with my brother Lucas and his wife and daughter coming."
And with that little tidbit shared, Diana slipped into a turkey induced nap on Loki's shoulder.
Ok everyone, that's the end of chapter 17! I know it kinda ended on a bit of a boring note, but cut me some slack here! Geez, I gave you guys a sex scene, what more do you want?
Diana:*is blushing and not looking at the author*
Silver: Ok, I get it. The scene came out of nowhere but I kinda felt it was justified. Even though it took me forever to get it down since I've never written anything like THAT before. *ignores the blush in her cheeks*
If any of you have any ideas on how this story should keep going, review and send me them! I certainly could use them every now and then. I'm thinking about bringing a villain in to the story, should I and who should it be people? Review and let me know your opinions.
