Thank you for the reviews so far! ;D

Unbeta-ed.

WARNING : Violence, Non-Con

"We should spar."

"In here?" Loki rolled his eyes at the suggestion but asked anyway.

"Yes, there is sufficient space," Hogun said as he stood up and started to move the furnishings.

"Why do we need to spar? We already know that I am no match for you in that area," Loki said with a huff.

"You need to keep in shape. Just sitting around is not good for you," Hogun replied.

And when they were both ready, they sparred. Hogun threw attacks after attacks at Loki but he started with ones that he knew Loki would be able to block. But as time went by, he noticed that all Loki did was block and evade his blows and he never once dealt a blow of his own. Hogun was annoyed with that, so he called Loki on it.

"It's called a strategy, Hogun. I already know the outcome if I were to attack you. With challengers built like you, it's better to play up my defenses. I don't like to pick fights that I know I'd lose. This way, I'd stay alive longer and sooner or later, the enemy will stop because of exhaustion."

And as soon as he finished his explanation, Hogun ran towards Loki, grabbed his waist and threw him on the floor and kept him down with his weight.

Loki tried to wriggle free but Hogun was too heavy for him. It was a friendly spar so he did what he usually did when he sparred with Thor when they were younger, he bit Hogun on his arm.

To his surprise, Hogun was unfazed with his tactics and he laughed at Loki's effort, "Resorting to childish tactics I see. Very well, I have some of my own."

Loki shrieked and giggled loudly as he felt Hogun's mischievous fingers tickled him all over his body.

It was another four days before Hogun was due back from his quest. Fandral and Volstagg had returned to Hogun's quarters everyday for the next four days to have their fun with the young god. They knew that Loki's strength was no match for the both of them and the guards were easily bribed to help and cover for them. For four days, they would show up unannounced at Hogun's quarters, corner Loki as he tried his futile attempts to back away from them and then they would keep him bound so that they could have him more easily.

And when Hogun reached the city, Fandral and Volstagg intercepted him as he made his way to his living quarters.

"Hogun, we should speak," Fandral started the conversation.

Hogun grunted and said, "Very well. Make it quick. What do you need?"

Fandral acted as if he was hesitant to speak to the warrior but he continued anyway, "Listen, I do not know how to break the news to you but Loki had sent for Volstagg to visit him while you were away."

Hogun interrupted Fandral with an impatient wave, "Yes, I know that. I gave him permission to do that."

And then it was Fandral's turn to interrupt Hogun, '"Yes, and Volstagg invited me along because he did not feel comfortable to meet with the Liesmith alone. And it was just as well, because he had planned to use Volstagg in his ruse to escape. And when he saw that I was there, he propositioned me for my help as well." They did not know how close they were to Loki's original plan. Close, but it was not entirely true.

Hogun gritted his teeth in anger and replied, "What. Happened?!"

Volstagg took over the false accusation, "He seduced us, he offered himself up as payment if we were to help him in his ruse. Since he was still a prisoner, we felt that we had to punish him for his plot and his intention to use us in his plan. We thought we should do that as a favor to you, brother."

Hogun grabbed Volstagg by the front of his armor, slammed him to the wall and growled, "You took Loki to bed?!"

Fandral objected, "He seduced us, Hogun! Since he wanted to be taken like a whore, we only granted his wish and took him like one!"

And Volstagg continued, "We just wanted you to know. Also, he may look a little worse for wear because well, you know us, things got a little rough."

And then, Hogun saw only red.

When Hogun opened the door to his quarters and stepped into the room, Loki slowly rose from his seat at the living area to greet Hogun. He had debated with himself for the best way to tell Hogun about what Fandral and Volstagg had done to him. He thought he could keep it from Hogun but Fandral and Volstagg had been very rough with him and he had bruises all over his body. He shuddered as he remembered what they had done to him.

Hogun stood in front of Loki and asked, "What do you have to say for yourself?"

Loki would not meet the warrior's gaze and asked softly, "What do you mean?"

"I saw Fandral and Volstagg before I came in."

Loki stuttered, "..."

"ANSWER ME!" Hogun gripped Loki by his shoulder and yelled to his face.

Loki tried to explain, "I'm... I'm sorry, I'm sorry... They were too strong, I couldn't stop them." And then he just broke down and cried.

Hogun was not ready to hear any explanation from the god and he backhanded him and Loki dropped to his side from the impact.

"MORE LIES, LIESMITH?!" Hogun bellowed furiously.

Loki shook his head fervently., "No... no..."

Hogun kicked Loki repeatedly at his side and yelled, "You wanted to escape so you seduced them! You seduced them and you let them used your body like they would a whore! That was why you want visitors, wasn't it? WASN'T IT?!"

Loki sobbed and continued to shook his head fervently. "No, no, that wasn't it, no..."

Hogun continued with his accusations, "I may have been rough with you but I have never hit you. I protected you from the dungeons, from the tortures, I gave you comfort! And you still wanted to plot an escape?! HUH?!"

Hogun grabbed Loki by his hair and dragged him to the door. Hogun swung the door opened and threw Loki out to the hallway.

"You wanted to go?! GO!" Hogun yelled, "GO! PLOT YOUR ESCAPE NOW LIESMITH!"

Loki knew that that was a rhetorical question. He knew that if he run, he would be caught in an instant and brought back to Hogun.

After a few moments, Hogun dragged Loki back into the room again and slammed the door closed.

He picked up the smaller god from the floor, threw him over his shoulder and carried him into the bedroom. When he reached the bed, he threw Loki onto the bed unceremoniously. Loki hurriedly backed away from the warrior and just curled into himself.

Hogun was beyond furious and when he was that furious, he would not stop to give his actions some second thoughts.

He took off his own clothes and then jumped onto the bed and pulled Loki towards him. When Loki struggled to break free, he backhanded him again and then proceed to tore off all of Loki's clothes.

As soon as Loki was naked, Hogun could see all the bruises and scratches on Loki's previously perfect un-scarred skin. Even when he was rough with the prince, he was always careful about leaving marks on the prince's body. He did not like to see any imperfections on Loki's body. And that was when he lost all reasons with the situation.

In Hogun's eyes, Loki had betrayed him. He wanted to hurt Loki more than Loki had betrayed him. Hogun pressed on a rather big and dark bruise that was on Loki's hips. Loki sobbed and gasped in pain. "Was this what you wanted? You would rather have your body marred by Fandral and Volstagg to get a way of out here, than to endure your days with me?!"

Loki shook his head as he sobbed.

"ANSWER ME, YOU WHORE!"

Loki answered softly and pleaded with his minder, "No... No, Hogun... Please..." And then Hogun backhanded him yet again and punched Loki repeatedly in his face. The bruises had already started to form with the split lips and swollen eyes.

"You wanted to be taken like a whore? I will take you like a whore!" Hogun threatened loudly.

Hogun pulled Loki towards him and straddled his hips. Loki was dizzy after Hogun's assault on his face but he knew what was happening. He mustered all of his strength and tried to push Hogun away, and when that failed, he resorted to scratching the warrior. But Hogun was beyond angry and he pinned Loki's hand above his head easily.

There were no more commands. No more orders. No kisses nor caresses. When his shaft found Loki's hole, Hogun shoved himself in and continued to pound into Loki mercilessly. Loki screamed and screamed until he lost his voice and his world went black. And even then, Hogun was so angry that he did not stop his assault on Loki.

"I have something for you," Hogun said with a soft smile.

Loki put his book down and walked towards the warrior and graced him with a curious smile, "What is it?"

"Here," Hogun took Loki's right hand and put a small rectangular box in it.

"A musical box!" Loki exclaimed as he turn the handle on the hand-cranked musical box and it emitted a song that he had never heard of., "It's beautiful!"

Hogun smiled at Loki's delight," You know what this box is?"

"Yes, I have seen it on Midgard. You went to Midgard?" Loki asked, his attention to the music box unwavered.

Hogun smiled, pulled the prince to him and kissed him fully on the lips.

"Thank you for my gift, you did not have to," Loki said with a smile.

"Anything to see you smile, Loki," Hogun replied softly.

A few moments ago, Sif overheard some servants and warriors who had gossiped about what had happened at Hogun's quarters when Hogun threw Loki out. Sure, she had never liked Loki but he was Thor's brother and Thor loved him. Concerned, she made her way to Hogun's quarters and as she got nearer to the destination, she heard Loki's painful screams and Hogun's loud angry voice. She stopped and thought about her next move. She could have confronted Hogun then but she was no match for him. She concluded that there was only one person who could save Loki and placate Hogun, and she took off running.

Things will get better for Loki, I promise...
