The story so far: Cephera had travel to Asgard and has met Loki. The two of them got off on a rocky start and not both have relied upon a truce to be nice to each other to get them by. The dreams hadn't stopped even after meeting. After waking from his dream Loki had visited her in her room and she was not happy to see him. After he failed to make her see things his way he accidentally insulted her again and was kicked out. The next day the two started off on a better foot and they seem to have begun to try and get along.

Loki's dreamer: every one seems to be loving the sexual tension and I'm glad. :)

Kat snowstorm: it is amusing and I'm glad everyone enjoys it.

Shinogirl93: welcome! Glad you like this. Hope you continued to enjoy.

Sidney love fiction: ahh gotcha about the next button. :p. the dreams are what gives this story it's sex appeal right now. My first two stories took a while to build up to sex. This was a sneaky way to put it in early. :p

Sorceress of the trees: Loki up to something? Never! Well there is that need to get into her underwear...hehehe

Doctor Loki love: first impressions are everything. Unfortunately for them theirs was not ideal. Life and learn :p

Chapter 6

Their walk through the palace had been done in mostly silence. It seemed he was trying not to anger her and she was trying not to let anything get to her. "So we are going to try and get along today." She said after a long time.

"Try." He confirmed back.

"Do you really hate us that much?" She asked looking down as she walked.

"Are you trying to start a fight?" Loki's tone sounded strange so she looked up. He looked confused.

"No. But I'm trying to better understand your hatred toward the human race." She told him.

"I don't hate them but humans are weak, dense, dull creatures. They have short life spans and soft bodies. It's a wonder your kind makes it to their prime years." He said but without directing it at her.

"Maybe our weakness' are what makes us strong. We have short lives so we live the best way we can and try to live life to its fullest. People with long lives tend to take for granted the things they do have because they assume they will always have them. Against one of your kind, yes we are weak and perhaps even dull for not having so many years to build a more exciting life but in the end if you were matched up against a race stronger then you then you would be no different then a human to them." She paused. For some reason she wanted him to understand or at least have a different way of looking at it.

"You can do magic. How?" It was his turn for a question it would seem.

"I was born that way. I have two human parents but I was born next to a half alien twin sister. Somehow I developed an ability to use magic but my aurora is what allows me to use it without being killed by the sheer power and energy needed for it and also somehow gave me longevity. When I was adopted by King Yorin..."

"King Yorin?" Loki was surprised. "You're a princess."

"I thought you knew." She blinked up at him feeling a little silly. It hadn't occurred to her. But really her status meant nothing in Asgard.

"I did not. I'm sorry you were explaining something." He said shaking his head and rubbing his temple with his free hand.

"After I was adopted he had me trained in magic by one of the best sorceress' the outer realms had to offer."

"I doubt you would match up to me if I were at my most powerful." He said a cocky tone in his voice. She didn't take offence. He was probably right.

"I'd like to try someday." She smiled then. It was the first genuine smile she had given in his presence since she arrived.

"You may regret it. I will not hold back." He warned also smiling.

"Good. I wouldn't want you to." She told him as they entered the dining hall. Already it was packed full of nobles and servants. The servants carrying tray after tray of food and the nobles seating themselves. "Wow. Does everyone always eat together?" She asked.

"Not always. Sometimes I prefer to eat in the privacy of my room. If you would prefer it we can eat away from everyone." She didn't have to look at him to know he was grinning a sly grin.

"No that's fine. I enjoy socializing." She replied. Loki brought her to sit with his family. Loki didn't seem too keen on them aside from the woman who was his mother. Cephera wasn't too caught up on Loki's story. She made a mental note that if they continued to get along, to ask him.

"Good morning lady Cephera. Did you sleep well?" Thor asked her. She nodded politely, not wanting to say much on the subject of sleeping.

"I've received word from your sister this morning. She has agreed to make the trip here. She will be bringing the five other girls you are already acquainted with plus one she found on her own. She will head to Midgard and from there Thor will fetch them using the Byfrost." Odin told her.

"That could take at least a week." Cephera responded.

"I'm afraid that is the only way. The Byfrost is not connected to anything outside the realms of Yggdrasil. In the meantime I want the three of you to work on finding the other two girls." Odin gestured to herself, Thor and Loki. "If you need to ask the warriors three to aid you off realm then so be it. The quicker we find them the better."

"Of course father." Thor said.

"If we are required to travel off realm I will need access to more magic then I have been allowed." Loki said glaring.

"If a trip off realms is needed beyond the holy mountains you will remain here and the others will go." Odin told Loki. Apparently no one trusted the prince. Cephera was only aware of Loki's crimes against earth but she wondered if there was more. She knew nothing about this man beyond his current attitude and his preferences regarding sex. She watched Loki keep his stony look the rest of the meal and said nothing else.

Loki sat staring at the spell book brought to him by a woman of the Valkyries. Apparently Brunhilda thought a spell book from their ancient libraries might hold some clue as to unlocking the Ushers and Valhalla's ultimate connection and perhaps a pathway. So far Loki knew only one way into Valhalla and that was to die. Every amount of research he had done told him that Ushers could be of any number. They are usually chosen females who had found fallen angels and saved them sending them back to Valhalla and in return for their help they are given the magical aurora, or angels blessing. The Ushers when they die would become an angel of Valhalla in return.

"So when people who have no blessing die, where do they go?" Cephera asked form her spot seated in a small arm chair near the fire reading over his notes. So far they had managed not to piss each other off.

"Your kind call it heaven but we know it as Neveah. Some idiot read it wrong. All Downrealm souls go there and continue in a continuous cycle of life. It's a place of magic and is limitless. I know nothing more then that."

"Oh. Why just females?" She asked distracting him from the spell book again.

"They are sexist?" Loki offered not really knowing himself. "All I know is the higher angels actually called Valkyrians, arch angels you would call them, are all male. The Valkyries, not the warrior woman, but the actual angels they derive their name from are all female. I can only conclude that they see females as a lower species even in Valhalla." Loki watched her scrunch up her nose. Loki was aware of most of Midgards equality system between male and female genders. No such thing existed in Asgard. The lady Sif was the first of her kind to be accepted as a warrior and that was by very few.

She didn't speak after that and so Loki went back to the spell book. Having her presence around him was distracting enough. He found it hard not to steal looks at her. He was still having trouble getting used to her being real. When he stole his next look it was more because she had made a whimper and he realized she was sleeping.

It only took him a moment to realize she was dreaming. Like himself she also dreamt of him after falling asleep after long 'bout of being awake. He couldn't help but watch her. Her facial expression was soft and her eyelids fluttering. He was sorely tempted to wake her by playing his fingers beneath her skirt and across the place he knew she enjoyed. However he also knew she might kick him in the face if he attempted that. He needed to gain some of her trust first. The day after they had met he had resigned himself to the fact that to get what he wanted he would have to meet her halfway. Her attachment to all things Midgardian made her strong willed and defiant. Her being a princess made her proud and confident all of which set against him boundaries that made it harder to just claim her.

She called herself human but slowly Loki was beginning to see her as something else. She walked a fine line between humanity and so forgetting she had two mortals parents was becoming easy. His original assessment of her had been brought on by anger and disappointment. This new one was brought on by renewed hope to make her his. She twisted in her sleep and arched her back before settling down. Her breath was gasping lightly.

Loki felt his cock twitch. Just the knowledge that she was fucking him in her sleep right now was enough to turn him on. Loki groaned and stood. He couldn't handle watching this. He strolled to her and roughly he grabbed her by her shoulders and shook her to awaken.

She woke with a cry and it took a moment for her to realize what had happened. She blushed furiously and he let her go holding up his hands to show he meant her no ill will. She was panting and covered her face embarrassed. "It's difficult to concentrate on my work when you are dreaming of me." He said trying to suppress his grin. He heard her mutter something behind her hands that sounded like 'shut it'.

When she uncovered her face her breathing was normal again and she took a deep breath to calm her nerves. Then her hand came to rest on her left shoulder and he watched her feel it. "You bit me. Apparently today was not a day for it to become reality." She said.

"Odd." He replied. The seemingly random occurrences of visible marks after dreaming was a mystery he would like to figure out.

"Indeed." She replied back. "I'll be back." She said and he was surprised by the speed in which she got from her seat and rushed out of the room. Loki raised an eyebrow at her retreating form but didn't bother asking. Most likely her embarrassment made her feel awkward in his presence. Loki went back to his desk and finally allowed himself to grin.

Cephera rushed from the room and down the spiral staircase to the nearest lavatory she could find. She shut the door and locked it. She quickly pulled up her skirt and sunk her hand between her own legs. She had been woken before her release and she still felt the need for it. She was wet and it took her only moments to finish what her dream Loki had started with his tongue. She was braced against the vanity while her body swayed and rocked out its orgasm.

She panted and sighed. Rarely did she have to take her own pleasure. Cephera washed her hands and looked at her reflection. Her hair was messed from falling asleep in the chair. She quickly fixed it and also noticed her rosy cheeks. It was difficult being around the man who had once held her utmost affection.

Though he still claimed her emotions to some degree she no longer loved him like she had when he was still a mystery. His first treatment of her had radically changed her view of him but still her body ached for him. She hated that it did. She was grateful he hadn't made an attempt to seduce her since the night before. She was afraid if he continued in his attempts she just might give in.

His question from that night bothered her as well. She had bled on their first dreamy encounter. When she woke her thighs had been wet with a small amount of blood and her own juices. She chalked it up to having stretch the wrong way. She knew it was possible to break the hymen without actually being penetrated but now it raised the question of weather or not he was the cause. She did not plan to answer his question he could continue wondering though her facial expression the night before might have given it away.

Cephera groaned and placed her forehead against the cool glass. Why did life have to suddenly get complicated.
