The story so far: Cephera and Loki had finally come to an understanding of each other and have begun a strange affair of sorts. They wait for Brunhilda to send them word that the spell is ready and until then they have lots of time to learn more about each other.

Chapter 14

Loki woke to the sweet scent of her hair. He couldn't remember falling asleep but waking up this way was not a bad thing. He had taken her away to talk to her but they got very little talking done and he was sure they spent a good hour fucking. He did not speak as she lay sated beneath him. He would not be a fool twice. He had shifted their position and she fell asleep, her head perched on his chest and their hands still bond and stuck between them. As annoying as that was he couldn't help but be happy to know she could not leave him now.

No more trips to Midgard to get drunk with Stark and complain about him. Loki stroked his hand over her back. She stirred but did not wake up. A knock resounded on his door and he looked down at his sleeping beauty and then back to the door. He decided to ignore it. He wasn't so lucky. After a moment the door opened and in walked Seraphina. She shut the door behind her and looked unimpressed at him.

"I did not say you could come in." He told her in a hushed tone.

"So sue me." She said back. Midgardian speech, Loki was not sure he enjoyed it. "I came her to talk to you. Seeing as my sister is currently sleeping this is a great time." Seraphina didn't even flinch at the fact he lay with her sister and it was obvious what they had been up too. She seemed to read his train of thought. "Get over it, your two were bound to end up in bed at some point. I'm surprised it took so long...wait actually I'm not you're an asshole. You were an asshole from the moment she met you and I want you to know that if you break her heart, if you allow her to fall hopelessly in love with you, leading her to think you love her back when you don't...I'll kill you." Seraphina paused and Loki was trying to figure out if she was serious. "But first I'll castrate you." Her last words and her tone told Loki she was not joking in anyway.

"I have made my intentions known to her." He said and was met with a glare.

"And what are your intentions? Sex? Keeping her locked in a secret room to be your sex slave for the remainder of her very long life? Excuse me for not believing for a second you would marry her." Her hand was on her hip and she was glaring his way. Loki had noticed they were different but for twins they were like yin and yang.

"I do not plan to marry her...not yet." He added. "We are both thoroughly confused by our situation but we have both come to understand that staying away from one another is impossible." Loki wanted to tell her sister to get out and mind her own business but he couldn't expect anything less from her. From what he'd seen so far the two were extremely close.

"She's sensitive." Seraphina had changed her voice. "When she began having those dreams I knew she wouldn't settle for any other guy. I resigned myself to the fact she'd never be happy until the day she met him. And then she met you and you broke her dreams. She acts strong, like she doesn't need love but she does. Cephera wears her heart on her sleeve and I'm afraid of what will happen to her if you never love her and she never looks past you. I know you think she's yours. That by default you own her after all these years but if you can't make her happy let her go. She deserves a chance to be happy, to be loved, to have a family. Can she have that with you?" Seraphina had turned and was headed back out. "That was just a little something for you to think about while you continue to play her."

Loki hadn't responded as he watched her leave. He was unsure what to say. He felt a little ashamed. It hadn't occurred to him about her future. He never thought of how this would effect her. He only cared that he wanted her and now he had her. Did he love her? No, this he was certain of. He longed for her but love was a feeling he did not yet hold. Affection...perhaps. The thought of being without her did bring him a troubled mind and a tight chest. Perhaps what his problem was, was that he didn't know what love was for him to recognize if he felt it.

He looked down at her once more and felt guilty. He hadn't thought this through. He entered into all this without once thinking about the effect on her feelings. He took for granted she knew how he felt and in return would refrain from feeling anything for him but that's not how feelings of the heart worked. You simply couldn't turn them off and on. He cursed her damn sister for pointing it all out. For making him change his train of thought. For making him realize once again he was being selfish.

He watched her calm sleeping face and wondered why she was placed before him in such a manner. Was she meant to teach him something? A higher lesson by that fates perhaps. Or was she a tool to break him? He was certain she was not the cause of their union but who would want them together so badly? The questions only raised more questions and soon Loki had pushed those thoughts to the back on his mind.

"Is this how it's going to be now?" Her voice startled him. He hadn't noticed she had woken, too lost in his thoughts at the time. She tilted her head on his chest to peer up at him. Her violet eyes searching for something but he knew not what.

"If you will have me." He said thinking about what to say this time before speaking.

"I want you, I just don't understand where this is going to go." She admitted not turning her face from him. "I'm not trying to force you to feel things for me that you can't but I want you to know that if us will never be a real us then I will not stay simply because we crave each others touch." She move from her spot laying down and instead propped her bond hand on his chest and looked down at him on her side. Her chest bare to his gaze and he quickly averted his eyes to come back to hers.

As much as he loathed to, he answered her from his heart and not his head. "I understand. I do not own you as much as I would like to think so. I will not keep you from seeking happiness elsewhere if it comes to that." His mind was screaming bitterly at him. She was his and only his. His possessive, greedy mind unwilling to wrap itself around not having her all to himself. She licked her lips.

"What now?" She asked shrugging.

"What is it your kind say...lets go with the flow." He grinned when she did. She bent forward and kissed him. He

was unable to stop himself from embracing her in his arms and pulled her down closer. He rolled so she was partially beneath him. When their kiss ended her face was flushed. One of her knees were bent and he was intimately pressed to her thigh.

"Before you met me what were your intentions for me?" Her question made him stop in his current sexy train of thought.

"I had once planned to marry you." He admitted and hated to do so. His intentions on the matter no longer held true and he was afraid she would rebuke him for having changed his mind.

"Me too." She told him her hand running through his hair. "It seems the two of us have a similar train of thought both before and after meeting. I am slowly beginning to accept your reasons for not wanting me as your bride now but it doesn't make it any less insulting. However, I am no longer able to be angry at you for it. We both built each other in our minds eyes as the kind of person we ideally wanted and obviously the reality was a shock to us both." He nodded.

Loki bent forward once more and kissed her along her jaw. "If at any point you want me to stop in my advances I will. If you become uncomfortably in my arms I will not force you into them." He said continuing his kisses across her face and down her neck. His hand snaking down her hip to grip her under her buttocks and then down her leg to curve it over his hip. "I cannot guarantee I will not be angry but like all the anger I have felt of late it will pass and I will come to an understanding."

Loki reached between them again with the hand that was free and guided his straining length to her entrance and glided in making her gasp. "I cannot promise I will ever feel love for you in the way you may one day desire. And if your heart should find love for me I would rather we discontinue this affair we have now and get out while you still can." He rocked into her slowly this words not turning his mood. She only nodded once more her one arm wrapped about his shoulders pinning him against her.

Loki had no more to say. He continued his slow pace kissing her from time to time. "Harder." She said smiling against his cheek. Loki smiled and knelt up. He placed his hands on her hips and jutted forward hard. She cried out in pleasure and panted her joy as he continued. She was not long reaching orgasm shortly after. She was a sensitive little thing when it came to sex. Easy to please and he liked that. Seeing her in her pleasure only made it more enjoyable for himself. He thrust into her hard until he too found his own end.

When finally they left the comfort of his bed they climbed into his bath. Finding ways to maneuver in day to day activity was a challenge. The little room left between them for movement left them having to find compromises. For the most part they tried keeping those arms down by their sides and using the other. They helped each other scrub and wash up before sitting together side by side enjoying the water before it lost its warmth.

"You know I'm not that bad you know." She said. He looked at her curiously. "I mean I'm a princess, I gained longevity, and I can do magic. Aside from blood nothing ties me to earth." Loki chuckled.

"Are you trying to sell yourself to me like one would sell a rare item?" He was happy that she too laughed at this and did not take offence.

"Maybe. Is it working?" Her tone was teasing and she probed his side with her elbow.

"You may need a new pitch. I already knew all these things." He kept his smile.

"Can't blame me for trying." She mused. "I'm becoming a prune can we get out now?" She said looking at her hands. Loki nodded and they stood together. Watching her get dressed was the most painful part of his day but if that was the worst part he was in for a really good day. They left his room smiling. He knew they were late for food but he was ok with eating alone with her.

The walk to the banquet hall was no longer filled with a tension between them. In fact Loki was sure he hadn't smiled so much in a long time. Her mere presence and knowing she was happy to be with him was enough to keep his good mood. When they entered the room they were not alone. Seraphina was waiting for them. "It's about time." She said. "I'm starving." She added.

Loki's eyes met the twin and he gave her a nod and she gave him one back. He would not forget her words. If the time passed and he still did not feel for Cephera as he should he would let her go. While they ate Loki listened to the tales Seraphina seemed keen to tell him of Cephera when they were younger. Cephera was embarrassed and amused by some tellings and Loki just then realize this girl was much more then what she seemed. She had accomplished a great number of things both on her own and with her sister. For some reason Loki pictured her sitting in Starks home flipping through the channels lazily watching tv. She didn't seem the adventure type. But before she went to Midgard and made friends with Stark she had spent a good bit of her time traveling the outer realms with her sister.

Loki suspected Seraphina was trying to give Loki a better understanding of who her sister was. And so far it was working. Loki found himself actually paying attention to the stories. Soon Cephera began chiming in with 'remember the time'. Watching her laugh and smile made a calm settle over him and he hoped that Brunhilda took a few more days to figure her stuff out so he could have more time with Cephera.

The entire day had been the first full day since she met Loki that she felt content and happy. Not once had they fought and they spent the day with her sister for half and then with all the Ushers, Sif, the warriors three and Thor. They had gone down to the beach and everyone had fun jumping in, clothes on of course, and playing around. Everyone but Cephera. Loki wasn't keen on joining in of those festivities. Cephera had finally gotten brave and she teleported Loki and herself into the warm waters. Once there he had a few complaints but she'd splash him until finally he pushed her into the water and consequently he fell with her due to the bond. They both stood laughing. Cephera hadn't missed the happy smile across Thor's face while he viewed his brother in this whimsical game. She also didn't miss the glares produced by Alleria and it only made her feel better.

They now sat in his tower. All research had been forgotten as Loki saw fit to test her in her magically abilities. He pulled from his shelves advanced books and she produced for him every spell he asked of her. She couldn't deny she wanted to impress him. She sat in his lap for most if it and stood side by side with him for other spells that needed it. She now was sitting in his lap again the books forgotten. Her good arm was around his shoulders and her head resting against head. "I'm tired." She told him.

"It's been a long day." He replied also sounding tired.

"A nice day." She commented. He nodded.

"When I was released to help the Valkyries I didn't picture my release being like this." He told her. "I'm glad for it. If I get to take anything from all of this at least it's something pleasant." She smiled and kissed the side of his face. "Did you dream last night?" He asked her. She nodded.

"You?" He nodded as well. Though they spent the night wrapped in each others embrace they had still dreamt of one another.

"I'm thinking its a spell." He said after a second. "It would make since why it doesn't stop. It's something placed permanently and perhaps only certain things will end it. I also would explain the marks we sometimes wake with." She moved her head back to look at him.

"How so?" She was more then curious now. She always wondered about the marks.

"If it's a spell it's possible that when we sleep at the same time we experience backlash. In this case we harm each other and wake with the physical attributes matching the marks given in the dreams. When we sleep at different times we don't interfere with each other and therefore we take nothing back to reality."

"You've been thinking about this a lot haven't you." She said. He chuckled.

"One of us needs too." She pinched him.

"I think about it." She insisted. Loki pulled her face forward his hand on the back of her neck and his fingers tangled in the hair there. He kissed her and she didn't protest. She took his kisses with a smile. She knew there was no way she would be able to sleep before he had his fun. And she no longer felt like she needed to fight him. She stroked her fingers along his face and then moved to straddle his lap instead. She broke his kiss and kissed his face and slipped him out of his shirt. She took control sometimes in their dreams and her dreams where what made her so brave in the face of sex. She felt she knew him even before they had started to get along.

Cephera never thought she could crave sex with anyone so much but with Loki she couldn't help but want him. Loki had pulled her skirt up around her waist and Cephera had unfastened his pants. She was tired and they had a really long day. She thought perhaps a quickie was due. When he was released from his pants and knelt up and over him. She enjoyed the sound of his moan as she slide herself onto his length and seated herself all the way down.

Loki moved her dress down off her shoulder and her breasts. He kissed her neck and chest as she began a steady rhythm up and down his shaft. His hand fondling her breasts in turn and then wrapped down to cup her ass. He moved her a little harder, a little faster. She sighed and hung her head back her hair tickling her back. Loki buried his face against her neck and nibbled her ear. His hips awkwardly trying to thrust up to fuck her harder. Finally he got fed up with the restraint he was put under. He stood taking her with him without removing his cock from her womanhood. He put her atop his desk and began his own steady, hard stokes dragging from her cries of passion.

She let her head rest against the desk and as he jutted into her she moved slightly across the desk with him pulling her back. Cephera wrapped her legs around his hips and clenched hard as she came. Loki grinned at her but he never slowed. He thrust into her continuously until finally he met his end. He bent forward to lay his head on her breasts. "Now you can go to bed." He told her. She laughed and it vibrated his own body.

Loki suddenly felt as though there was something he was overlooking but couldn't place his thoughts on it. Like having a word on the tip of your tongue and never saying it and forgetting it instantly. He pushed the strange feeling aside and took the moment to enjoy this moment.
