Unbeta-ed.

It has been three months since Odin had passed judgement on his misdeeds, three months since he was first used by Hogun and not many knew about this but it has also been three months since the first time Loki has laid with a man (technically, Svadilfari was a stallion, so, that did not really count).

The first few weeks of the arrangement had been extremely hard on Loki. While he would never willingly cry in front of the enemy, Loki would sometimes indulge in a little self-pity whenever Hogun was out of the room. He had given up on trying to fight Hogun whenever he required the smaller god to 'service' him. Loki had never believed in brute force and he would never start a fight he knew he would not win. And so, he gave in to Hogun's wanton needs and let the bigger man use him as he pleased.

But even so, in these few months, the short-tempered Hogun had not tortured him. Sure, Hogun was always rough with Loki and he had never asked for Loki's permission before he took him. Whenever he wanted to touch Loki, or wherever he wanted to, he just did. Hogun would touch him, kiss him, caress him, and pound into him whenever he felt like it. And even so, Hogun did not deliberately torture him. Perhaps it was because Loki had not given him any reason to do that. Loki did not know whether he was grateful to Hogun for his 'gentleness' or loathe himself for not fighting back.

Whenever Hogun was back in Asgard, they would spend the night together and Loki would wake up to kisses and caresses. Hogun expected him to return those with fiery passion and he would obediently let Hogun thrust his morning wood into him. Loki has not learned to enjoy these morning sessions but he has learnt to live with it. Hogun may not have struck him yet, but he was not above making threats and Loki would rather not find out if Hogun would go through with these threats.

Their 'love-making' in the morning was almost always an intimate affair. Hogun would slowly explore every inch of Loki's body; kissing, smelling, licking and nibbling. It was as if Hogun treated Loki like a lover would, and needless to say, Loki hated him for it. Loki would never admit it, but Hogun was definitely a morning person. His mood was always better in the morning, so he would take his sweet time in claiming Loki. Hogun was well-known for his super strength and apparently, that also applied to his stamina.

Loki woke up with a small gasp as he felt the breach. He laid on his side and Hogun laid behind him, with his arms wrapped around his slender waist. He whimpered as Hogun moved and started to thrust into him, picking up the pace as the time ticked by. His hands teased Loki's sensitive nipples and his mouth sucked and nibbled on Loki's neck.

"Touch yourself," Hogun whispered hoarsely in Loki's ears. Obediently, Loki reached for his member and started to stroke himself. He moaned as Hogun continued to play with his nipples and then nibbled and licked his right ear. Hogun placed his cheek beside Loki's and grunted as he picked up the pace with his thrusts. Loki screamed in pleasure until he broke down crying as Hogun kept hitting his sweet spot over and over again, but before they both could finish, Hogun slowed down but continued to thrust wantonly into Loki. He took the prince's slender hands in his so that Loki could not stroke himself to come before he'd allow him to. He wanted Loki to last longer so, as he pound into the young prince, his length would hit anywhere but the magical spot.

"Give us a kiss", came another command from Hogun and Loki complied. He turned his head around and kissed Hogun on his lips. He opened his mouth and let the Asgardian ravage his tongue. He could not help the moan that came out of his lips as Hogun continued to tease his nipples and gave him long sharp thrusts that sheathed the whole of the warrior's length.

He heard Hogun's grunts as his muscles clenched around the Asgardian's swollen member. Suddenly, Hogun pulled his length out and flipped the prince on his front, his knees bent under him. Hogun moved to kneel on the bed behind Loki and as he put his big hands on Loki's small hip, he realigned his member to Loki's glorious hole, and without any word, continued to pound into the smaller god. Loki could do nothing except to whimper and moan, sometimes of pain, and sometimes of pleasure. He could feel Hogun's lips on his back, just swirling and licking. It would be another two hours before Hogun would be finished with him.

Hogun was not the person you'd go to for idle conversations, while Loki, the Liesmith, had a way with words. For his part, Hogun would occasionally come back to the quarters to have evening meals with Loki, instead of dining in the hall with the rest of the warriors. Loki had not decided whether he prefered Hogun's company during these meals over dining by himself. Should he have asked about the warrior's day? No, Loki decided that that was too domestic for him. So, most of the time, they would share their meals in silence. Sometimes though, Hogun would surprise him.

"What is that book that you are reading?" Hogun had asked while they were in the midst of their evening meal.

Surprised at the question, or the attempt at a conversation, Loki raised his eyebrows at Hogun and then looked at the book in his left hand. After a moment of silence to process his shock, Loki realized that Hogun was still waiting for a response.

"Oh, this? It is about some mythical creatures in Midgard. Why do you ask?" was Loki's response.

Hogun shrugged and continued with his dinner. After another moment of silence," So... have we seen any of these creatures before?"

Again, Loki raised his eyebrows and answered hesitantly, as if he doubted that Hogun would want to discuss the contents of a book with him," Yes, a few. Apparently the wendigos and the mermen are a myth to the Midgardians. I remember back when..." and Loki let himself rambled on as if he was finally glad to have someone who he could converse with.

Hogun was also not the person to go to if you'd expect some sensitivity or some comfort. He was, after all, known as Hogun the Grim throughout the realms. He was short-tempered and yet, he has not exploded too much on Loki since the day of the punishment. Loki had seen the warrior in action and they have both shared the grief of losing mutual acquaintances to the horrors of wars and Loki had never seen a soft side of Hogun. Loki had never labeled the superhuman as sentimental because there had been no testimonials to prove that. And now, he discovered that the short-fused Asgardian was also capable of surprises.

Loki woke up as the door creaked opened and let in the some light from candles in the corridor. He overheard a short, whispered conversation between the intruder and the guards.

"Hogun, is that you?" Loki asked sleepily. One day, in the near future, he would remember this night and ponder upon the lack of fear of the shadow of a rather large intruder. But at that moment, he was still half-asleep and had sleepily wondered if Hogun 'needed' him that night. He was already naked underneath the sheet, a command from Hogun that he had to obey and follow, even in the warrior's absence.

The door closed, and the light disappeared. "Aye, it is I," the intruder named Hogun answered. Loki closed his eyes and burrowed deeper into his pillow. He heard Hogun's footsteps as he made his way towards the bed and felt the bed tipped as the large Asgardian sat on his side of the bed. He felt Hogun's hand as the warrior stroked his hair softly.

"Do you need me tonight?" Loki mumbled sleepily as he unconsciously enjoyed the soft caresses on his hair.

"No, you are tired, go back to sleep," Hogun whispered and dropped a lingering kiss on Loki's temple.

The next morning, Loki woke up to some sticky substances on his bottom, thighs and legs. Hogun was gone too, probably an early training with the other warriors. Loki did not understand why the Asgardian did not wake him up to deal with his morning wood as he usually did, and instead chose to grind to his behind and his thighs. He wondered if it was because the warrior was in a hurry or because Hogun was considerate enough to let him continue with his sleep?

For these past three months, Loki had not been allowed to venture out of Hogun's quarters. There would always be a few warriors that stood guard in front of their quarters. The servants would come by to bring food and sometimes they would also bring books for Loki should he requested it. He has not broached the subject of visitors with Hogun because there was no one that he would like to come for a visit anyway. There were times when he felt lonely but he supposed that the quarters was still a little better than the dungeons. It did not matter much to him because Loki had long gotten used to solitude.

Besides, what better time to plan and plot his escape?
