16. I love her too
Hello readers, gosh last chapter was angst ridden wasn't it, poor Loki, not being able to explain himself to Daya with those pesky avengers listening in, and what about Steve? Having to watch Daya be all loved up with Loki, poor, poor Steve. Anyway, here is chapter sixteen, enjoy!
Loki sat quietly as Daya slept in his arms. An hour had passed and Loki had hoped the avengers had finally left him to just be with his wife.
"You know she has been dying to sleep for hours. She was just holding on for you to arrive, but then, I guess she's been holding on for a while now, for you".
Loki inclined his head towards the source of the voice, it was Steve. The god of mischief rolled his eyes.
"So, she told you our story?"
"Everything. Every detail, your first meeting, your marriage, all of it. Including how you just left her" Steve frowned.
"I knew I could smell another man's scent on her, and I have been watching you and her, together. Grown rather close haven't you" Loki smirked once more.
"We haven't done anything, you know fondue? If that's what you're getting at?"
Loki laughed quietly. "Oh I know that. She is far too loyal and virtuous to me to do that. That hasn't stopped you from falling in love with her has it?"
Steve shifted about in place and stared at the floor, he was lost for words.
Loki laughed once more, still careful not to wake Daya. "My, my, she has stolen your heart away hasn't she? But you are a mortal, what could you possibly offer her?"
"Love, support, I would keep my promises. I wouldn't leave her, ever" Steve replied.
"Do not speak of my actions as if you know who I am, or my motives behind what I do. You know nothing about me or my connection to my wife. Nothing at all" Loki hissed.
"Getting a little testy there God of lies" Steve said.
Loki smirked again, knowing that Steve was only trying to anger Loki, "these mortals really do think I'm stupid" he thought.
"Even for you Captain Rogers, your time is short. A mortal's love is timed, you fall out of it so easily and even if you could hold on, your body will grow old and feeble, and then you will die. Leaving behind a broken heart in your wake. Is that truly what you would want for Daya?"
"Seems like her heart has been broken since you left. Anyway, I am not here to fight. I came here to ask you for something?" Steve asked.
"Ask, but I cannot promise I will oblige. In fact I'm almost certain I will say no to anything you ask of me" Loki smiled smugly.
"Take care of her. She is the kindest, most innocent, beautiful woman I have ever met, and you are right. I am in love with her, but your right about her virtue. I would never expect her to betray you, nor would I ask her to. So, just keep her safe. She deserves so much good. Don't let her go, cherish her and don't love as we mortals do, do it better than we can. Hold her above everything else, because in the end, she will be the only thing there when everything else has faded" Steve said all of it with such ease. It had taken a lot of strength to say all those things but, he needed them to be said, for the sake of Daya.
Loki smiled faintly as he looked down at Daya's sleeping form before turning back to Steve.
"I will promise you that soldier. You have my word on it, although you may not believe my word. You will just have to trust I will do so" the god answered.
Steve nodded, all the while Daya listened in. She had heard Steve's confession. She had heard everything, and she had heard Loki promising a man he hated, that he would always love her. Some things never change. When she was certain Steve had left the room she turned to look up at Loki.
"I might have known you were listening in. How much did you hear of that?" Loki asked.
Daya didn't want to admit she had heard Steve confess his love for her. "I heard you Steve's promise, and I heard you making that promise to me Loki."
"I didn't need to make a promise however, I have always loved you and I always will" he said.
"Even still, it means everything to me that you would promise such a thing to a mortal" Daya smiled.
He leant down to kiss her lips. "So" he said "do you believe me when I tell you I love you?"
"Yes, I just need to know one thing, why did you let go, that day on the bridge? I know you love me but I need to know, why I wasn't enough, to make you hold on" she questioned Loki.
He pulled her up closer so her face was level with his. "It wasn't you, not at all. I just felt, after all the mistakes I had made, I had become something weak, and stupid and completely unworthy of you. I neglected you, and when Odin shunned me on the bridge, you were still the only one that was still willing to forgive me, I couldn't take it, and you were still just so pure. I had become so tainted, I just couldn't face you after all that. So I let go, in hopes of finding power, of finding a real purpose worthy of a great legacy, and I would return to you a great man, well deserving of your wondrous love".
Daya stroked his face gently. "Oh Loki, if only you knew how wrong you are, you are always deserving of my love, that's why we found each other, we were destined to, we are destined to be together. Through everything, the good and the bad, we are meant to be together Loki" Daya said.
Loki kissed her lips gently, it had been so long since they had shared a real kiss with each other. Daya parted her lips and allowed Loki's tongue access. She let out a small moan, already filling with desire as Loki kissed her and ran his hands over her body.
"I cannot wait to make love to you again my wife, it has been too long since I have felt your touch against my skin. Feel your naked body against my own, feel your delicious warmth as I enter you once more" Loki whispered quietly in her ear. Daya gasped in excitement.
"Perhaps I could just call in a favour now, and see if we can't see those things happen sooner rather than later" she smiled before standing up.
"Hello? Avengers? Anybody there?"
"What is it Daya?" Bruce's voice sounded from the telecom.
"May I have a word with you for a moment Bruce?"
He unlocked the door for her and she went up to him. "Hello Bruce?"
"What is it you want Daya?" he asked.
"Could I perhaps borrow some sheets, for Loki and I to use as bedding, we are a little cold?"
Bruce nodded "Oh yeah sure, let me just grab it" he smiled before getting some white sheets for her. As he was gone, she turned off the audio monitors linked to hers and Loki's cell.
As Bruce came back with the sheets she took them and smiled at him. "Hey Bruce, So are you on watch tonight? To make sure Loki and I don't get up to anything bad?"
He nodded.
"Well ok, I should warn you, we haven't seen each other for so long, we are just planning on, oh gosh how did Steve put it? Oh, cuddling, yes we are going to cuddle."
Bruce made a slight face of disgust at the thought of the God of mischief "cuddling" someone. Ok, Daya, I will probably just leave you guys to that then. In-fact, maybe I will get Steve to check on you guys instead. Just cos, you know, he wouldn't mind watching you cuddle, not that he would really want to, I mean he likes you and all but he's not like, a stalker or anything.."
"Bruce, that's ok, you don't need to get anyone to watch us, we are just cuddling" she smiled.
Bruce had gotten so used to Daya being around she seemed like one of them, so he believed her, and let her take the sheets back down to the cell, allowing her back in to Loki. Daya had more than one reason behind being intimate with Loki, she wanted him, after all this time her desire for him was great, but she also thought it would make him more vulnerable, perhaps it was her way in of finding out what had really happened to Loki while he was gone. If his guard was down, perhaps he would reveal his secrets to her.
As the door locked behind her Loki kissed her fiercely and immediately let his hand trail down lower down her body.
"Wait, wait" she smiled against his lips. "The visual camera's our still on our cell".
Loki stared at her, a confused expression on his face. "They may still be able to see us using their technology, so we have to do this tastefully and secretive" she told him.
He nodded as she pulled the thin mattress like material off their bed and pulled it onto the floor and then lay on it. "Well, we are going to have to get under the covers to do this I'm afraid" she smiled up at him. She reached her hands up and pulled him down gently with her and covered them with the sheets.
"Goodness, I feel like an adolescent boy again" Loki replied.
"You didn't have me when you were an adolescent boy my darling. Can you use magic still? Without the staff?"
"I could certainly use it to remove all this unnecessary clothing if that's what you meant?" he grinned.
She nodded and when she was sure they were both covered by the sheets Loki removed their clothes with a simple flick of his wrist.
Daya fell into a state of euphoria as soon as Loki's bare flesh touched her own. He kissed her neck gently and she moaned, months of pent up desire for Loki finally releasing.
"Don't even think about it yet my love, we have barely begun" Loki whispered in her ear, nuzzling it gently as he sensed her growing excitement. "I love you Daya" he whispered.
"I love you too Loki, now, make love to me, I have missed you so" she whispered back, stopping to run her tongue along his neck gently. Without any further pause, Loki entered her slick warmth gently, earning a short gasp from his wife, it had been so long since they had lay with each other, Daya felt like it was almost all new once more.
Loki heard a noise from upstairs and realised the young Captain Rogers was probably up there watching on in disgust from the monitors as his precious Daya was being taken by someone other than him. Loki smirked and got so caught up with the sudden feeling of power he would have over Steve, the anger he could make the mortal feel that he bit Daya's neck hard enough to leave a small bruise. Daya moaned loudly as Loki reached down to bite her lower lip, sucking it softly as he pulled her into another kiss.
"I've never seen you like this Loki" she smiled.
"Do I disappoint my darling?"
"No, it's just, different, I've never seen you quite so forceful" she smiled back. Loki held her closer as he continued to thrust into her harder than usual. Daya continued to moan and Loki continued his efforts, hoping that Steve could hear every sound, even with the audio cameras off.
It didn't take either one of the lovers long to have their moments. It had been so long that a simple touch would have been enough to send them into a passion. Afterwards they lay lie side by side, Loki held Daya close to him, and after being so long without him, his cold skin felt perfect to her, it was all she needed. He was all she wanted, but she couldn't help but wonder, if he felt the same way.
I'm going to leave it on a mini cliff hanger, so you guys keep guessing if she really does get answers. Again, just to confirm, even if Steve loves Daya, nothing is going to happen in that way in this story. I am seriously thinking about doing a story with Steve and an OC, let me know what you think about that idea though. Sorry the last part was a little rushed, I wanted to get a chapter out for you guys today as my friends are coming over in like, an hour so I wanted to finish it for you all. I cannot promise a chapter tomorrow as like I said, my friends are over but you should know that next chapter is going to have a bit of action in, a real love scene and let's just say, maybe Loki finds a way to escape the avengers. So, please excuse any spelling mistakes, this chapter was just kind of a filler. Until next time lovelies
