24. Always and Forever

Hey guys hope you are all well. Just to let you know I am working on the third chapter of my other story, I hope it will be good, it will soon be ready for all to read, I am so excited! This also means that I will not be updating as often as I have been, so not every day I am afraid, I think I am going to do alternate days so both stories don't get neglected. Just to let you know that Daya and Loki's speeches to each other are in ITALICS just so you guys don't get confused as to what's going on. Anyway, I own nothing but Daya and as always, enjoy, review, favourite and follow. Thanks readers!

Daya floated on her back in the baths slowly, her ears below the water, yet she could hear Loki humming to himself contently even from below the surface. After all this time, after all the business with the avengers, she was finally peaceful, happy with Loki once more in Asgard, home finally.

She stood up in the water and looked over at Loki, who was sat in the water, perched on the wall that went around the large pool. His head was back, almost resting on the side of the baths, his eyes closed. Loki seemed just as happy as she was. Daya waded through the water quietly and kissed his neck softly, moving her mouth over to kiss his Adam's apple softly.

"Hello there" he murmured.

"Hello back" she smiled.

He lifted her up to sit on his lap and she wrapped her legs around his waist as he kissed her. She grinded up against his hips and it wasn't long at all until she felt his hardness press up against her thigh. She grinned widely into his kiss.

"I believe that there is a part of you that is calling out for my attention again" Daya whispered in his ear, nipping on his earlobe.

Loki grinned as he pulled her closer to him. "Oh believe me my darling, all of me is calling out for you, that part of me just doesn't hide it away all that well".

Loki quickly placed a hand between them and guided himself into her slowly. Daya breathed in deeply. She arched her back, pushing her body further into him, placing her hands on his knees to stop her from falling off him completely. He groaned loudly and ran his hands through Daya's long hair that was now soaked through with water, before moving them behind her back to support her body.

Loki leaned forward and allowed his mouth to latch onto one of her hardened nipples, sucking roughly, causing her to almost squeal with excitement. Liking the reaction his actions got from his wife, he moved to do the same to her other breast, causing Daya to arch her back even further into his embrace.

Daya grinded harder against him, angling her body so he hit all the right spots until finally she came, her walls tightening around him. Loki grinned as he felt her exquisite tightness and reached his moment himself.

"That's twice we have made love in the past hour my darling. I think that's good for us" Loki said huskily, his voice still laced with lust.

"Yes, and I look forward to breaking that record in the future" she smiled.

The next afternoon Loki stood adjusting his shirt in the mirror. He was wearing no armour, only his usual trousers, a dark shirt and his black leather cape.

Daya walked in, her hair was swept up into an elegant bun, a thin hairband perched at the top of her head made entirely of sterling silver flowers.

Instead of robes she wore a white gown, that was open on one side of her waist, revealing most of her stomach. She wore no shoes, but bangles and anklets covered her feet, the bracelet Loki had given her still sat comfortably around her wrist.

"My wife, you look so beautiful" he said softly as he looked at her. She stood behind him and smoothed out his shirt. "And you look handsome as always husband" she smiled.

He turned, and claimed her lips with his own. "I have arranged for a minister to meet us at the river Deryth, we can say our vows and then I have a surprise for you" Loki told her, swaying her in his arms slowly.

"A surprise, for me? You shouldn't have darling".

"You have never been to the Dearaldia forests in Asgard at night have you?" He asked.

"No, only a few times with you, to hunt but it was always when the sun was out."

Loki kissed her forehead lightly. "Good, then tonight will be a beautiful surprise for you".

As they stepped outside of the chambers Loki sighed deeply. "I must tell Odin of our plans, he is monitoring everything I do now, although without my powers I am about as threatening as a blade of grass. Still, needs must, I will meet you down by the stables".

Daya nodded as she watched Loki walk away. She made her way down to the stables and noticed Thor walking through the corridors alongside Sif, Fandral, Hogun and Volstagg, they were all laughing, as if no time had passed since they had all been young friends fighting alongside each other without a care in the world.

Daya walked over to Thor. "May I speak with you alone for just a moment?" she asked hesitantly.

Thor nodded and joined Daya over near a pillar. "What is it my lady?"

"I just wanted to say thank you, so much for what you did in court, what you did for Loki. I will be eternally grateful, you didn't need to do what you did. You had every right to be angry with Loki for attacking the realm you so admirably defend, but you didn't. You saved him from a worse fate and I really do mean it when I say thank you".

Thor shrugged as if it what he had done was an easy task, but he smiled at Daya faintly. "He is my brother, despite his protests. And he isn't all bad, I know Thanos was behind Loki's actions, I couldn't allow Loki to take a punishment he did not fully deserve".

Daya nodded. "Well anyway, I must go and meet Loki. Thank you again".

He bowed as she walked to meet Loki who was already out in the stables, saddling a white stallion.

Loki smiled over at her as she walked over and stroked the horse gently. "Hello darling, how is it I arrived here before you? What were you up too?"

She gave him a thoughtful look. "I was just saying something to Thor that was very much deserved I think".

He helped her up onto the horse before climbing up to sit behind her. They rode off to the Deryth River together.

The minister, a surprisingly young man was already waiting for them. Daya had always pictured ministers as being old and feeble, but this one looked like a slightly older brunette version of Fandral. Loki had arranged a wedding arch to be placed near the riverside, it was just like the one they had at their real wedding, only there outside, with no guests, no fancy decorations or music, it looked even more beautiful than the first time she had seen it.

Loki kissed Daya as he helped her off the horse and they joined hands as they walked over to the minister. He greeted them with a wide smile as they stood under the wedding arch. "Are you ready to begin?"

They both nodded. "Do you have any speeches ready on paper? Before I renew your wedding vows?"

Loki gave Daya a cheeky smile. "I have all I need to say right here" he tapped his head gently.

Daya nodded. "As do I" she smiled over at the minster.

"Good, well traditionally the man goes first so Loki, say what you will to your wife now please" the minster smiled.

"Ok, Daya, my wife. It seems an understatement to call you just that, when really you mean so much more than just that word or concept alone. You are, my everything and despite everything that has occurred over the past few months, you are still standing here before me, which means you must love me as well, for which I am so very blessed.

Ever since I met you I knew I loved you, and I knew I would marry you but I still wake up in wonder when I see your face next to mine every morning. Because, after all I have done, I still feel that I am undeserving of you.

I know you are bored of me saying such things but I really do feel over these months I have done so much wrong by you. I have neglected you and when I have been by your side I have watched you weep over the decisions I had to make, and despite that I still went along and did them.

You will never know how sorry I am for leading you down into the mess I made. I can never redeem myself with words. Hopefully over time, I will earn back your forgiveness with my love and devotion to you.

Today, I promise all those things I promised to you years ago when I first wed you. I promise never to leave your side, and this time I mean that. I promise never to cheat and lie, or lay with another. I promise as I have done for the past six years, to love, and cherish you and hold you above all else in the world, because in the end of it all, there really is only you and I.

All I ask of you is to make choices in the future that aid you, and not just me, because if I was ever the reason behind any pain you feel, I would hate myself forever.

I love you, all of you Daya, I always will, always and forever my darling one".

Daya held Loki's hands tightly as tears of joy fell down her face silently. She smiled before saying her own words to her husband.

"That's a tough speech to follow but here goes. Loki, my husband, I believe my love for you was always destined to draw attention, as we both know from being together since the day I was brought to Asgard for the sake of marrying Thor.

Sometimes I wonder how different my life would be if I had married your brother. As much as that idea frightens me beyond all belief, I know in my heart that our love has always been so strong, that something like that still wouldn't have held us back. We were destined to be together.

I know you have seen some awful things, and learnt brutal truths about yourself. I am sorry you had to experience all this, but glad you did have to face it all alone. I will always be there for you, sadly whether you like it or not, because I myself cannot be without you. I will always face troubles alongside you, you will always have my love, my loyalty, my heart and soul.

Sometimes I cannot have words of wisdom for you, or advice on what you should do next and I know you have made some choices in the past that I have been, unable to support myself. I am deeply sorry for the things I cannot give you, in an ideal world, we would give each other perfection, everything we desired, because you do deserve greatness Loki.

Today I offer what I can, not the perfect world, our world. One that only we share, one that nobody else can breach, or take away from us. One with this love we share, a love that can never be broken, one that wasn't ever meant to be broken, despite the hurdles it may face on its path. I promise you every happiness I can give you. I love you Loki, and I will, always and forever".

Loki stroked her face softly and the minister smiled.

"Let it be said today that I witness here today saw the renewal of both Loki and Daya's wedding vows. Let it be said their words were true and binding and may they be held to the promises they made here today" the minister spoke firmly.

Loki kissed Daya gently, leaving no time for the minster to say anything else. Loki and Daya both signed their names to admit they had renewed their vows and finally the minister left them alone. The couple sat and had dinner by the river until finally the stars in the night sky rose.

Loki helped Daya up and Loki put a blindfold on her. "Loki, what are you doing?"

He laughed. "I just want this to be a total surprise to you, believe me darling, you will thank you for this".

He helped her onto the horse again and they rode to the forest. He left the horse at the opening of the forest and lifted Daya into his arms. She squealed girlishly. "Loki, stop, what are you doing now?"

He kissed her cheek. "I am making sure my precious wife doesn't hurt her delicate feet on the hard ground. Now shush and let your knight in shining armour sweep you off your feet".

"I believe my knight did just that. Alright I will play along, just don't drop me".

Loki pretended to drop her and let her fall in his arms slightly, earning another squeak from Daya.

When he reached the place he liked the call, the lagoon, he placed her back on her feet and stood behind her, holding her close to him.

"Are you ready my darling?"

She nodded eagerly. "Yes my knight, I'm ready".

He removed the blindfold slowly and Daya's eyes sparkled with excitement as she took in the sight before her. The water in the lagoon was crystal clear but the plants in the water, seemed to glow, making the very water sparkle a light blue colour. The trees around the lagoon were all kinds of beautiful colours. Like the stars in the Asgardian night skies, there were glowing vivid purple plants and blue trees and the small waterfall at the edge of the lagoon glowed so brightly it seemed as if tiny diamonds were flowing into the gentle waters.

Daya, after a long pause finally managed to take a deep breath in.

"So, do you like it?"

Daya turned sideways and placed her hands on his chest softly while still staring at the lagoon.

"It's stunning Loki, I feel the same way I did when you showed me the Asgardian skies at night for the first time. Do many people know about this place?"

Loki shook his head. "No, I mean they know that the glowing fauna is in these forests but nobody knows about the lagoon. I found it centuries ago, but vowed never to show anyone unless I thought them truly worthy".

Daya raised an eyebrow. "Why has it taken you so long to show me this place then?"

Loki kissed her forehead. "My darling, we have only been married six years. I didn't want to give all these amazing experiences away all at once".

Daya nodded in agreement and began to unclasp her dress. "I'm going for a swim, care to join me?"

Before Loki could answer her she removed her clothes and jumped into the lagoon. Loki grinned and quickly removed his own clothes before running into the water himself.

Daya swam around, fascinated by the glowing water. Loki came up behind her and bent down to kiss her gently.

"Are you happy my darling?"

"Ecstatic, in-fact, so happy I want to make love to you, the way I know will make you happy, you just need to lie back and relax" she smiled as she stood up in the water and pushed him back to lie back against the banks of the lagoon. Daya kissed him and felt him grow hard against her inner thigh. She moved on top of him and lowered herself onto him, feeling him fill her completely. They both groaned loudly, feeling like they were truly one.

As Daya felt him deep inside of her she watched him carefully and began to roll her hips sensually, resting her hands on his legs to support herself. Loki closed his eyes and let out a slow, loud moan as he rolled his head back.

She arched her back allowing her long blonde hair to brush against his legs as she moved against his body, making Loki moans grow more desperate and regularly. He reached up and ran his hands over her breasts slowly. She placed her hands over his own and smiled down at him before bending down to kiss him before resuming her position arching her back and rolling her hips again.

As Daya began to move up and down on him at an increased pace, Loki moved one of his hands down lower on her body and ran a hand over her clit gently. Daya gasped loudly and continued her fast pace as Loki massaged her slowly.

Finally they both came together and Daya grinned down at Loki, who was breathing heavily. Daya wiped beads of sweat off her forehead and ran her fingers along his stomach, watching as some of his ribs became visible as he breathed in deeply. Loki reached up and moved so Daya was sitting on his lap and kissed her gently, wrapping his arms around her waist, holding her close.

"Thank you for today Loki, for showing me this place, for all of it" Daya whispered in between kisses.

"It was the least I could do. Now we can just start over, as well as we can do anyway".

"As long as we have each other in the end we will be alright. I love you" Daya said quietly.

"I love you too Daya".
