The story so far: Loki and Cephera have met to work together in solving a mystery dealing with Valhalla. So far the two have been getting along despite their rocky start. Her sister has finally arrived on Asgard bringing with her five other girls, one of which Cephera doesn't get along with, Alleria. Alleria has noticed the tension between the two and when Loki manages to have Cephera alone and in his arms they are interrupted by Alleria who Loki thinks planned it.

Loki's dreamer: Alleria will not be another Kat.

Sidney love fiction: I enjoyed writing that kiss very much!

Doctor Loki love: lol I'm not sure Alleria would have understood what a sock represents lol. Main angel? Are you referring to Brunhilda? If so she's not an angel she just the leader of the man hating warrior women. :) I'm not planning to get to complicated with the story. I'm keeping this one simple. Loki and Cephera need to get it on...hmmm yes they do but will it happen for real?

Shino girl93: lol so much hate for Alleria...just like I planned. Tee hee. In every movie or book there is always that one character you just wanna see die. And sorry to disappoint but Loki will not be singing love song. Stay tuned for more sexual tension.

poodle warriors: slowly but surely

Chapter 8

Loki had shivered early that morning when he woke. The feeling of her mouth around his cock dissipated as his dream faded away. Loki could feel his seed spread over his abdomen. He sat up and quickly wiped himself clean. The urge to go to her was strong knowing she was only a few doors away but he resisted the urge. He was sure that the night of their kiss could have ended with her waking in his arms but he cursed the idiot who had interrupted them. That was two days ago. Since then Cephera had been quite around him and had set out on the task at hand regarding the fallen angels.

Alleria was a continuous mountain of chatter. Constantly talking to Loki now that all the other girls where gone with Thor and his friends. Loki could feel the girl wanted to be fucked. It dripped off her like a whore at a whore house. And he was sure the only reason for it was because of his obvious connection to Cephera. Loki was easily annoyed by this girl and chose to ignore her often. Loki found solace in the music room. A room Odin had built for his mother years ago, long before him and Thor were born.

They had a collection of instruments from different realms and the one thing he enjoyed the most was the grand piano from Midgard. His long fingers worked the keys perfectly. As children while Thor was off having wooden sword fights Loki was learning music, spells and alchemy. He enjoyed the arts perfected by the hands and the mind. He found peace in the quite of the room today with only the piano playing under his careful strokes.

He'd left Alleria looking through a huge stack of scrolls he knew would be no good but he needed to distract her somehow and Cephera had taken off to the library for some idea or another. It was Cephera he caught sight of now as she peered in the archway at him curiously. The way she was bent he could see the alluring swell of her breasts. He motioned for her to enter.

"The piano?" She said almost shocked. "I didn't know you owned one...let alone played one." She told him a half smile crossing her lips.

"We do and I do." He said answering both her intrigues. "Do you?" He asked offering her to sit next to him.

"No. I sing but I don't play instruments of any kind." She waved her hands in front of her while shaking her head. Loki chuckled.

"Sit." He said standing to allow her the entirety of the bench. She eyed him a moment but sat shortly after. Loki bent over her from behind and placed her hands on the keys. He guided her hands slowly to press the keys explaining their sounds and usage. She'd begun humming the sound of the key in tune and he enjoyed it. He could imagine playing it with her singing for him. Perhaps one day he would give it a try.

Loki had bent so low his cheek was now touching hers as he continued showing her things across the surface of white and black keys. She seemed less concentrated as his breath tickled her cheek. When she turned her head to look at him he stole the kiss he had been thinking about since he had gotten that close. She didn't seem too surprised by his action and turned her body a little more to press the contact of her lips tighter to his.

Loki pulled her to stand and wrapped an arm around her waist never breaking the kiss. He hoisted her to sit on the top of the smooth oak. Her legs wrapped around his hips quickly. Loki pulled her skirt till his hand found the skin of her leg underneath. He slid his hand up that leg and caressed her sex through her cotton underwear. She moaned against his kiss. He knew what to do. He knew the things that made her cry out in complete bliss. He pressed his fingers to her harder and rubbed in a circle. She broke their kiss with a cry of passion, throwing her head back and he tasted the flesh of her throat while he could.

She moaned and pressed her womanhood against his hand more. Loki moved her underwear aside with his thumb and touched her now wet cunt with his bare hand. His mouth was still wandering on her throat and chest. He pulled her dress down to gain better access to her breasts. She squirmed to get out of the dress and succeeding in trapping her arm to her sides while her breasts came free. Loki didn't help her free her arms but he did ravish the new skin presented to him. He sucked and nibbled her nipples the whole time his fingers rubbing and teasing her to the brink of no return she came with a cry and Loki untied his pants. His cock stood straining to be engulfed in her heat.

He pulled her to the edge of the piano and slowly buried his cock into her soft heat. He moaned in sequence with her as he did so. He was slow in his hip motions as he fucked her gently. He was savouring the way her sex clung to his cock. He groaned with every movement until his slowness could no longer be held in. He quickly picked up the pace. Her hands gripped her dress as they were still trapped by her sides. He held her waist to stop her moving away from him and he grind into her harder and harder with each mounting thrust until he finally came.

Loki woke and growled in frustration. Once upon a time the dreams were vague with just the two of them rolling about and fucking. But since they met they had changed. They said things to one another, and sometimes the dreams took on moments that had actually happened in real life much like this one he just woke from.

Earlier that day he had indeed been in the music room and Cephera had joined him. He had her sitting before him guiding her hands and fingers and something like his dream might have happened had that other idiot Usher not interrupted them again. He was very tempted to make her disappear for good. She was a cock block like he'd never experienced. The interruption had set Cephera back into her quite state once more. The moment to possibly seduce her was gone.

He got up from his bed and decided he would not go back to bed. Instead he ventured to his tower where he could do some more research. When he arrived he was surprised to see Cephera there and wide awake. He wondered if her dreams had woken her to escape here as well. "Have you slept yet?" He asked her. She looked up from the book she was reading.

"Not yet." She told him. "Something was bothering me." She said. Loki moved to stand behind the arm chair she had come accustomed to sitting in and looked over her shoulder. "Brunhilda said that an Usher can open a passage into Valhalla. But these books say the only way into Valhalla is to die. So how could anyone use the passage way. One would think that death was inevitable no matter what." Cephera was looking over her shoulder to him.

"Perhaps. Or perhaps the passage opened by an ushers allows a verbal pathway only." Loki offered.

"Maybe. So far out of all of us I'm still the only one with my aurora. There are three girls left to find. If we find them and they no longer have theirs what do we do?" She asked looking toward the fire instead.

"There are trinkets to amplify ones powers. We could use one on you to channel enough to open the path way." When she shook her head her hair tickled his chin.

"That won't be helpful. I can do magic but my magic is not as strong as others because of my humanity." He heard the careful undertone in her voice. She hadn't brought up their initial arguments in a long time. He suspected she hated pointing out things to bring about his initial thoughts about her. "That much channeled energy would kill me no matter what trinket we used." Loki had slowly drifted away from his previous conclusion of her. He no longer viewed her as truly human but every now and then he was reminded that she was born to be one and he felt a little annoyed at himself for forgetting it.

"We will think of something." Was all he said. "You should sleep." He told her, his annoyance at her human side dwindling fast as he watched her delicate fingers turn the page of the book carefully.

"I don't have time for distractions." She said defiantly. Loki rolled his eyes and swiftly picked her up making her squeak in sheer surprise. "What are you doing?" She asked.

"Bringing you to your room. It won't do to have you falling asleep in public. We both know how that will end." Loki watched her face flush and grinned. She allowed him to bring her downstairs and back to her room. Half way there she had fallen asleep in his arm. He placed her in bed after removing her dress. He studied her body before he finally covered her. She'd dream about him soon. He wondered if it would be the same one he dreamt of her. They really needed to start to talk about this dream stuff. At this point it was obvious they were getting the dreams from an outside source who wanted them to at the very minimum sleep together.

If they did finally fall in bed together and still had the dreams he would conclude that this unknown source wanted them in some kind of relationship for some reason or another and he would like to know why.

Apparently finding the other ushers wasn't that hard. When a mark goes missing that was given to you by an angel it seems just asking the right questions will bring you right to those seeking answers themselves. Seraphina returned with Thor and company with the last three girls, Payten, Meriall and Juno. It was quickly determined that Cephera was the only one with her mark.

"What about these holy mountains we've been told about. It's the only reason I came." Payten said huffing her arms crossed.

"I can take you there after we eat." Thor assured her. "I promise we will come to understand what is going on."

Payten brushed off his words. "I don't care what's going on but I've never been to a holy place before." She said walking off on her own. Cephera watched her but didn't stop her.

"I don't like her." Seraphina said watching the retreating girl as well.

"You like very little people." Cephera said to her. Seraphina gave her usual smirk when Cephera was right about something.

"Where I come from to advance on a woman in such a way would get you killed." Meriall said to Fandral who had been flirting up a storm with most all the girls.

"Then I would die a happy man to have one night with you." He said making her turn a light shade of red. She quickly looked away from him unsure how to take his advances.

"You're going to scare the girls off." Sif whisper to him.

"Nonsense." He laughed and took a swig of his drink. Cephera wondered if there was ever a time of day they didn't consume alcohol. Though to the Asgardians credit they didn't seem to get drunk as fast as a human would. Cephera was seated between her sister and Loki had placed himself on her other side most likely on purpose. She remembered him taking her to bed and was surprise to have woken wearing only her underwear but also surprised she was neatly tucked in. Since the night when they kissed in his room she tried her best not to let him touch her as it seemed hard to fight him off once he was so close and being so nice.

"You realize we have now reached a stand still." He said to her on a vocal level only she could hear.

"What do you mean?" She turned her head and bumped her nose off his unaware he had been so close. She jerked her face back.

"I mean we are right back to where we started. We found all girls that once bore the angels mark and out of them all you are still the only one who still possess it. Currently as it stands you are unable to open this pathway spoken of by Brunhilda and so we are at a standstill." Cephera bit her bottom lip.

"Maybe when we get to the mountains we will find out more." She said hopefully.

"All we will find there are a bunch of petrified angels and no answers I can assure you. This trip is pointless."

"Are you ever optimistic about anything?" She asked reaching out to eat more of the strange fruit she'd been eating.

"To be optimistic I need to be open minded to the fact that I care what's going in. In which case I do not care about this situation. Whatever is happening in Vahalla means nothing to me. It's no secret I was bargained with to help."

"Do you care about anything?" She asked looking at him intensely.

"I am still trying to figure that out." He replied and looked away from her and went back to his food. Cephera felt her face turn red and somehow felt he meant her.
