Chapter 13

A/N I'm just sorry this took so long, when I started this fic I had a set route for it, but after last chapter I started to doubt as I could take two VERY different roads to the same end and I wasn't so sure what I wanted anymore. I made up my mind, or at least, this is the way it'll go. Thank you, everyone, for your patience with me. I will finish this story, so don't worry about that, it just may take a long while! (oh and some of your reviews were so lovely, thank you so much. When I started with this crazy idea it was mostly to get it out of my head, but it's great to see other people like it! I love you all! 3)

Thor tossed and turned in his sleep oblivious to what was happening a few rooms further ahead. Had he known he would've rushed there, thrown Loki over his shoulder and told Tony to back off, pharaoh or not. But he was not aware at all what was going on, as he was reliving some past events.

"Loki, go!" Thor shouted.

"But brother why won't you run?" Loki asked.

"Someone's got to teach them a lesson. Now go!" And Loki did. Thor sighed. These were the third this week alone. Some of them were human traffickers, people that sold poor bums like Thor and Loki for good money to other people while they had no right to do so. Others were just perverts.

If only Tahzim had shut up. Tahzim had been their neighbor and he had spoken of Loki's beauty, as Loki was so different from the rougher looking local Egyptians, and it had piqued the interest of many men and women alike. To Thor it all seemed a little over the top, but the local baker had explained that green eyes are considered a treasure unlike any and that someone like Loki could be sold for a large sum of money. He then proceeded to offer Loki a job as just the ten minutes they had been standing there he sold more bread then he usually did in a day, all because everyone wanted to have a good excuse to take a good look at Loki. The people lost interest soon enough and carried on their normal lives again, as they were too poor to afford standing still, but the rich people still send people to gather his little brother. And there were still perverts who didn't knew about Thor.

Two big guys came around the corner, facing Thor as he blocked the path to their hut in the slums.

"This is as far as you guys get and if I see you again you wish I didn't" Thor said, thinking it fair to give them at least a chance.

Fifteen minutes later Loki was pressing a cold wet cloth against his cheek and torn lip as Thor told him about the cowards and how they had run away. Loki would just shake his head as if to tell him he rather wished Thor would run with him next time. They both knew that wouldn't do anything, as they would just return if they did.

Thor just wanted to protect his little brother, as he was all that was left.

Thor woke up, sweating, with only one thought in his head. Lately he had been thinking of different things, like keeping himself alive, amuse the pharaoh and keeping him safe. But he now only had one name on his mind as he turned on his side and fell asleep again. 'Loki'

ooOOoo

Rhodey sighed as he sat himself next to Vali. "That sure was some entertainment, don't you agree?"

Vali smiled and nodded. He was slightly put off by the fact that Obediah had left before Loki had entered, but it was really no one's fault. They may be chances later.

"Yes, Tony was taken in by the young dancer, was he not?" Vali asked.

"I'm pretty sure I saw him talking to the leader of the entertainers. I'm sure he arranged something." Rhodey and Vali looked at each other, then both burst out in laughter.

"I feel sorry for the young man though, he doesn't know what he's getting in to!" Vali said. And he meant every word of it.

ooOOoo

"Everything?" Tony asked Loki with a smug grin on his face. He nearly laughed out loud as he saw the realization of his mistake show on Loki's face. "I-I'm sure, we can come to an agreement?" Loki tried, his voice hopeful.

"Oh yes I'm sure." And Tony trailed with his fingers the hem of Loki's vest. He then followed his arm down and started to remove the golden bracelets from Loki's arm.

"If you want them, I'm sure I can come to an agreement with Fury about them…" Loki blurted out, but the tear in one of his eyes told Tony he perfectly knew what Tony had in mind.

"Oh please, I have plenty of these and no use to them. You can keep them." Tony said, placing all the removed bracelets carefully on the floor next to the bed, then repeat the process with all the other jewelry Loki had. He was deliberately slow and he chuckled as felt Loki tremble. He grabbed the hem of Loki's vest and in one pull got it off him. After he carelessly threw it somewhere behind him he trailed his fingers over Loki's torso. The man looked like he was carved out of marble, the spitting image of the gods they worshipped. "Oh by Isis, why would the gods torment me by sending someone as magnificent as you on my path. I will look at no other woman, ever again, all because of you." Tony sighed. How was he ever going to produce an heir?

He pushed Loki onto the bed, slowly, by pressing his palm against the smooth chest of the stubborn dancer. His eyes, which looked even more intimidating framed with kohl, were aimed at him, glaring. If looks could kill.

Oh Tony was most certainly going to enjoy this.

He leaned down to place a kiss on Loki's collarbone, after which he started nibbling and kissing his way up to Loki's jawline and then onwards to nibble softly on Loki's ear. Tony was surprised this didn't get him no response whatsoever and with a confused look he stopped to look at the man. The man was laid motionless underneath him. Motionless except for the few times he'd feel him tremble. Loki wasn't enjoying this, Loki was doing his very best to just no feel anything at all.

"If they ever get to you, brother, make sure they will not see you enjoy it. Play dead if you must, but if you show them you want it just as bad as they want it, they'll be back for more. I'll make sure nothing ever happens to you, ever! But should I not be there to protect you, which I always will, then make sure they won't enjoy it. Lay still, make no sound." Thor had said.

"But Thor" Loki had responded. "You make it sound like it's hard to do?"

"It is, as much as your mind may not want something, your body sometimes reacts before your mind can stop it, you must control that."

Loki was only thinking how right Thor was. He was following Thor's advice, but he had to resist gasping for air. In fact he had stifled a moan when the Pharaoh had nibbled his ear by biting on lower lip, which was, Loki was sure, bleeding by now. He had closed his eyes, to not see what was going on.

When Tony stopped his onslaught Loki looked up to see a startled Pharaoh. From Tony's perspective it was more of a gasp because he was shocked at how wonderfully mysterious Loki's eyes were. He could nearly drown in the green of the dancer's eyes. He pushed a stray hair behind Loki's ear.

Was this really what he wanted. He looked Loki's body up and down, and yes, YES, this was very much what he wanted. But he didn't want to just see this magnificent body curled around him, moaning his name, once. No, he would very much like to return to this body again sometime. Taking what he wanted now would result in scaring Loki away forever. Sure he could do it and then throw him in a prison only to get him out to get what he wanted, whenever he wanted. But that would make him a douchebag. Even more than his father. At least he got people kidnapped to be a guard, not a personal whore. Surely if Loki was a little more willing his lean and flexible body would prove to be worth the wait? He was nearly drooling, and it took all his restraint to not just pluck the sash and trousers off the dancer's body and take him there and then, but for once he put mind over… well… his gut. He made a sound that sounded a lot like a defeated sigh as stroked Loki's torso one more time.

"As much as you are… wow… yeah, something wonderful and something I want, I won't take you just because I'm a pharaoh. Like you said, all we know is how to take and never how to give. So here, I'm giving you a deal and I know I'm going to regret this every single time I see you walking around the palace, but still, it'll make me feel better about myself in the end. Don't want Anubis to pluck the heart out of me and feed it to Ammut and all that jazz." Loki still looked confused at him and it made him chuckle. "So yeah what I guess I'm saying is, you're off the hook for now, but… You will remain here, just like your brother except a little different. You will stay with me wherever I go. If I go to sit in the garden you will sit with me, if I'm to lunch, you lunch with me, bath with me, sleep with me. Do this for a year and you and your brother are free to go, both of you. Try to escape and I will have both of you imprisoned and I don't intend to get you out just because you have a cute butt." Tony grinned, Loki did have a cute butt.

"There are some extra rules of course. You will follow my every command as you should anyway, you will refrain from flirting with other, I expect dances every now and then so keep in shape and most importantly…" And Tony leaned forward again, his nose almost pressing against Loki's. Loki looked up in fear, but Tony could tell he would oblige to this. He waited another few seconds to add a little suspense only to giggle and tell him his most important rule. "When not around anyone else, you will call me Tony. No Pharaoh, no majesty, no Antonankhamon. You will find there are others who call me Tony, and when around them, you can call me Tony as well. Got that?"

"Yes your maj… Tony" Loki stuttered. He was not accustomed to being told this, but to be honest serving for one year to free his brother. Yes that was quite a good deal. Tony was a little vague about the details and he wasn't sure if Tony expected… anything else… from him.

"You won't… have me, because I'm from the slums then? Because I may be full of diseases?" Loki asked. Many would look down on people from the slums expecting them to all be full of diseases. Truth be told, most actually did.

"No I'm not having you, because that would make me a shitty pharaoh and human being and because I have the most awesome restraint in the world…" Tony sighed as he climbed off Loki and layed next to him. "Because Thor has done a lot for me, in such a short time and I'd feel sorry to ravish his younger brother." He poked Loki. "Plus I'd be a little scared of what he'd do to me. He may actually do what he had been accused of after all!" He grinned, but Loki didn't.

"Well then, you must be really tired, and if not, I know I am." Tony yawned, grabbed one of the sheets and pulled it over the both of them, spooning Loki shamelessly. He was gone within minutes, leaving a confused and annoyed Loki behind. Eventually all the excitement of the day had gotten him so tired and in the end even he fell asleep.

ooOOoo

Stieth awoke from the knocking on his door. He half expected Loki to stand there, maybe too drunk to know how to open a door. When he opened the door and saw the tall intimidating dark man with an eyepatch he was pretty sure he was going to kill him and steal everything in his house.

Turned out he was overreacting, talk about stereotyping.

"Loki has told me of you and your family…" the man began.

"Loki? Oh ra, did something happen, is he ok?" Stieth immediately panicked. He knew it, he knew letting Loki go was a bad idea.

"We're not sure… The pharaoh demanded his presence later on in the evening and we haven't seen him since." Fury sounded sad. "I'm sorry, that's all I know, but I figured I'd let you know." And the man turned around and walked away, leaving a stumped Stieth behind. How on earth was he going to tell Peghee and Bukhee tomorrow? More importantly, how was he going to get Loki out of this mess without endangering himself and his family?

ooOOoo

And that's another chapter. I hope people appreciate me not making Tony a complete monster? 8D Don't worry about the smut… it'll come, somewhere in future chapter(s)

Please review and tell me what you think! ^_^
