Days slowly turned into weeks. She was settled in her new life within Asgard, she was actually enjoying it. She had gotten herself into a pretty good routine too. She had an early morning run which set herself up for the day ahead. It would clear her mind after a nightmare full sleep she usually got though they seemed to be improving and the spacing between them longer. She would have a relaxing bath before starting to read the large number of books that were still piled on her desk. On occasional days she would see Thor or the Queen who would visit her quarters or she would go training with Lady Sif and the warriors three. Even Loki coming and going as he pleased to talk about whatever was on his mind at the time, seemed normal now. She would listen to what he had to say and she would give him her opinion. Getting to know more and understand each other a lot better than she could have ever imagined.

It soon came around to a time of year where there seemed to be a lot of festivities in a short space of time in Asgard. She had gotten use to the Asgardian way of celebrating and actually started enjoying these events. She had just gotten into one of the now many dresses that she owned and actually enjoyed wearing. It was a beautiful creamy apple green, it wrapped around her body revealing her now slimmer figure and curves. She was just starting to pin her long brown hair up, collecting the golden pins off her bedside table when Loki stepped through the door way.

"Evening." Loki looked at her as he entered her chambers. She was use to him coming and going as he pleased even though it truly annoyed her when he did it unannounced. She was not as worried about it as she had been before when she first arrived. she only wished he had manners, so she at least knew when he was about to suddenly appear. Too many times he had caught her in a state of undress or bathing which gave him a lot of pleasure while it made her incredibly flustered. Even though he had never given her any reasons for her to distrust him during her time here. In fact she felt she could trust him more than the majority of the people she called friends.

"Loki I am a little busy tonight for one of your meaningful talks." Leah sighed completely blanking him as she walked back pass him. She sat down at her dresser and continued to pin her bronze hair back for the feast tonight.

"You look beautiful." Loki commented, she could see Loki stare at her from the mirror in front of her.

"So not a pathetic human." She laughed at him, shaking her head and rolling her eyes as she mocked him.

"No." He walked closer so he was right behind her and continued to watch her sorting her hair "Your better than them even if you can't see it, I can. I don't see why you try to change yourself to be more like us."

"I haven't." Leah defended herself looking up at him actually getting a little annoyed that he would even suggest such a stupid thought.

"Really." He stepped closer to her so he was only a step away from her, his hand went over her shoulder not touching her. "Your hair has become long, not that shoulder length hair you wore when I first saw you here. You have lost a large amount of weight."

"I have not." Leah looked up at him her eyes narrowed. "I am fitter than I have ever been."

"But you have lost some of those attractive womanly curves which women here do not possess." Loki interrupted her.

"I feel better for it." She added coldly knowing he had a point she was a lot fitter than she had been for a while and she was able to keep up with the Lady Sif during their training together. But instead she lost weight from her breasts and hips, making her look a little too skinny.

"And you dress like all the woman here now." Loki continued.

"Okay I blend in a little better, happy now." Leah stood up staring at him with gritted teeth. "Any way your mother got me this dress. So I can't not wear it now can I. That would be rude."

"It is lovely," Loki smiled at her making her less annoyed with him.

Leah got up and went to pass him when he grabbed her arm, his hand against the bare skin on her arm, she just gasped and stared at him. He was not meant to be able to touch her, non of his projections had ever been able to touched her. This was the first time since her arrival at Asgard and his first appearance to her where had he ever touched her while out of his prison cell. She just stared at him her mouth slightly open, her heart beginning to hammer away in her chest. His hand was cold against her arm, she couldn't believe he actually was touching her. He slowly and gently pulled her up against his body making her gasp. She was pressed fully against his hard strong body, she was completely powerless as her mind raced. He was truly here in her room alone with her, it made her mouth dry with anticipation. There bodies were pressed tightly against each others, her hands spread against his armour clad chest, she looked up at him wide-eyed as her silver eyes met his emerald ones. He looked down at her as he brushed a loose strand of her hair off her face.

"You want this." He told her, it was not a question more like a demand. It made her stop breathing as she stared at him.

"Loki." She began to protest not really sure what was going on.

He just captured his lips with hers stopping any protest that was about to come. She didn't fight him, she couldn't if she wanted too instead she allowed him access into her mouth. Leah felt her body melt against his further than she thought it was possible, slowly she wrapped her arms around his neck holding onto his collar for dear life. She felt his hands hold onto her petite waist keeping her pressed up against him. His lips moved against her, it became almost feverish, as the pent-up passion poured from them both. Eventually they broke apart, Leah was breathless, her mind was a complete blur now as she looked down at his chest in front of her. A blush slowly forming on her cheeks San the realization slowly kicked in of what just happened.

"How are you doing this?" She frowned the confusion setting in and the need for answers there in her mind.

"I am truly here, after a lot of thought from my Father and persuasion from my mother, he decided that you were right about what you said to them." He explained looking at her a small caring smile appearing on his face. "He is willing to try what you suggested."

"Right." She frowned stilling feeling overwhelmed by what had just happened "What did I say."

"When you told my father he needed to find a way for me to prove myself to him." Loki muttered looking amused by the effect he had on her. "Weren't those your words?"

"Yes but." Leah tried to pull back from him not that he would allow that "I only meant, your hatred of everyone and everything would grow if you were locked up forever."

"Hush." He placed a finger of her mouth silencing her

She felt his one arm wrap tighter around her, she was not really sure what the hell was going on. His other hand then cupped her face, she stared into his green eyes, for once not seeing any anger there at all. His lips gently pressed against hers again this time, kissing her softly, making her absorb against him. A small groan escaped her lips as her heart hammered hard against her chest. She suddenly could feel a smile against his lips which were still brushing against her own making her this time pull back and look at him seriously.

"You're a virgin." He whispered as he eyed her suspiciously. She looked at him horrified for a moment that he had manage to work out that she was just from two kisses. An anger rose inside of her as he continued to smirk at her. "So you are. That makes this all the more interesting."

She did not want him thinking of her as some conquest that he had to conquer. She knew what he was more likely thinking and the idea of that with him absolutely terrified her. She tried to push back away from him but his grip remained tight holding her against him. She then stuck him hard across the cheek before she pushed him off of her and walked to the other side of the room.

"You're a pig." She answered opening the door as her anger boiled over before leaving the room. "You should know what one of those is considering you seem to eat a lot of them here."

She slammed her door behind herself and walked to the celebrations feeling far to flustered for her liking. She did not like the feelings that she was currently feeling for the so-called god of mischief. She had never lost control like that before, she didn't understand how he did this to her so easily. She paused taking a breath in knowing that she needed calm down before entering the festivities.
