Chapter 11: Training of a Different Kind
Cephera woke up as always before her husband and slipped soundlessly out of bed. She got her usual bath and dressed in yet another beautiful gown. She wondered where they all came from and hoped they hadn't been expensive. She had a feeling Frigga had a hand in the wardrobe given to her as a sort of wedding gift. Cephera was sure new dresses were placed in there each month as some she didn't remember before but of course the closet was also quite large. She didn't mind though. Cephera loved dressing up.
Oddly Loki was still in bed when she was finished and about to leave. Cephera paused at the door torn between leaving him there and making sure he was alright. Finally giving a small sigh she went back towards the bed. "Loki." She said giving his shoulder a nudge with the tips of her fingers. He didn't move but she could see his steady breaths. Cephera chewed her lips remembering her conversation with Shay the day before about changing her game plan. Cephera sat her ass down lightly on the bed near him and reached out. Hesitantly she touched his hair and finally put her fingers through it. It was softer then she had imagined it might be. "Loki." She said again her voice always soft.
Loki stirred under her hand turning over a little, almost deliberately pressing her hand closer to his head. Cephera shifted her hand to smooth back the stray hairs on his forehead and then ran her hands through his hair there. "Loki it's nearly breakfast hour." She said.
"Mmmm." He replied licking his dry sleepy lips before he seemed to realize just what was going on. His eyes burst open and he looked at her almost shocked. He sat up forcing her hand to fall back to herself. "What are you doing?" He asked her scrutinizing her face through still sleepy green eyes.
"Trying to wake you up. It's not like you to sleep in so late." She pointed out. Loki narrowed his eyes a margin.
"Do not speak as if you know me. You know nothing." He told her.
"And who's fault is that?" She inquired in return. "I know enough about you just from watching you." She added and stood. "I'm sure your mother expects you at breakfast so I'd make getting ready quick." Cephera walked away from him a small smile playing across her lips. Before he completely realized it had been her he had enjoyed her fingers in his hair this she was sure of. The smile was more for her being proud of herself for doing it.
"Why do you bother to learn about me?" He asked when she was half way across the room.
"Why not? I will forever be in this marriage and perhaps one day knowing about you will become useful. Gaining knowledge never hurts anyone even if it turns out to be useless knowledge." She had been looking back over her shoulder as she spoke. Loki seemed to be contemplating her words but was no longer looking directly at her. Cephera finally left the room with no further interruptions.
XxX
Directly after breakfast, which Loki did show up for on time, Cephera bid everyone a good day and left. She tried not to look to see if Loki was watching her as she left. Cephera remembered Shay's request to help her and to come to her room that day. Cephera was still concerned for what she might find there. She knew well enough where the room was and even through her concerns she still went.
She paused at the door and knocked firmly almost holding her breath. The door opened and Shay smiled looking excited. She ushered Cephera into the room and closed the door. "It never occurred to me yesterday that asking you to come to this room was a little rude considering...well, you know but there really is no other place for this." Shay said to her walking across the floor. Cephera took in their surrounding. Shay's room was much smaller in size compared to her own but it still held a nice charm to it.
"What is 'this' exactly?" Cephera asked feeling a little uncomfortable only because of the secrecy. A sly grin lit up Shay's face.
"I know you have no reasons to trust me after everything but I need you to try." Shay got to her knees and searched under the bed. She pulled out a wooden box that looked as though it had never been opened before and not even a smudge of dust lay on it. "I picked this up after our talk yesterday. I thought it best to produce something new. It'll be yours, think of it as a gift." Shay held the box toward Cephera and she took it. She was tempted to shake it but avoided it. Shay was watching her with an intense stare and Cephera unhooked the latches that held the box shut. With a creak the lid came free and cradling the box in one arm like a child she removed the lid.
Cephera had never felt her face go so scarlet in all her life. Her jaw she was sure was open as far as it could go before she snapped it shut with intentions of speaking but unable to think of words to say. She stared down at the smooth surface of what seemed like a solid glass item shaped like a penis. "It's made of crystal and crafted by dwarves." Shay said her hands clasping together below her chin.
"I'm sorry I don't..." Cephera wanted to say she didn't understand but she had a clue at what Shay wanted her to with it. "I can't use this." Cephera told her instead. "I've never...nothing has ever breached me save for a couple of fingers and not very deeply..." Cephera was stammering an excuse. She couldn't take her eyes of the finely crafted, very life like cock. Shay chuckled.
"Placing this inside you isn't my intention. That's for Loki to claim." Shay said. Cephera looked up then meeting the woman's blue eyes.
"Then what is it for?" Cephera asked. She was more curious now than ever before.
"Using this I'm going to show you where to touch, how to touch so that you can give Loki something to remember and think about. Every man is different so not all like the same things but I know a few things about Loki that will make it difficult for him to stay away from you." Shay winked.
"Won't he think it's odd for his pure wife to know a little too much?" Cephera was skeptical that this was a good idea.
"Not if he knows your hanging around with me. He'll know who showed you. Besides I'm not showing you everything. The best part about intimacy is exploring and finding out new things about the person you're with. I'm just giving you a few things to do to start you off.
Cephera stared at the penis shaped crystal and swallowed. She wasn't sure she could do this. "Are you ready to begin your first lesson?" With a nervous shake she took the crystal penis in her hand and found it light weight. She could feel every vein carved into it but it was still very smooth and cool to the touch.
"This is silly...I'm never going to need this training." she insisted feeling foolish and embarrassed as she sat down with Shay discarding the box.
"Nonsense." Shay said. "I know Loki and I knew his body very well. You catch him at the right time and do this he won't soon forget it and he'll only crave more." Shay gave a sly cocky smile. "Now lick it from here to here." She instructed. "As you do cast your eyes up as if you're looking into his face. You need to enjoy what you to with his cock or the feeling just won't be the same. Learn to love it." Cephera licked her lips and it took her moment before she did as she was told. The glass held no real taste and she looked up at the ceiling trying to visualize Loki looking down at her.
She felt like a fool and yet Shay didn't laugh or make fun. She sat there with the same determined look she'd began with. She touched Cephera's hand and shifted her fingers and then helped her adjust the pressure with which she held the glass cock. "Pressure of different kinds can be enlightening." She said. "As your tongue reaches the top squeeze a little and then graze your teeth on one side going up and then then other." Cephera tried it and was afraid she'd screw it up and hurt him. The glass couldn't tell her if she was doing it right and Shay seemed to realize this. "Here." She said taking the penis and placing it aside on the bed. She held out her arm pulling her dress back. "Do the same thing with your teeth on my arm." She said.
Cephera looked up into the woman's vibrant blue eyes before doing as she was directed. "Softer." She was told and she did. "Again." She said. Shay made Cephera repeat this move randomly throughout her teachings to make sure she remembered the pressure with which to do it. "Just remember that a mans cock is sensitive in many areas and that exploration of your own will never be turned down." She said at what she called the end of their lesson. Shay had Cephera try lots of mouth movements, nibbles and hand gestures but hadn't had her suck it. It seemed Shay was not content to spend one day at this training and Cephera wasn't sure how much more her poor innocent mind could do before her cheeks burned red permanently.
Leaving Shay's room that day she was both flushed and intrigued. What if Shay was right? What if it did work? All Cephera needed to do was get up enough courage to try it on Loki. Most likely she'd have to do such a thing while he slept and wake him but the real question was could she bring herself to try it. Just thinking about it in her head she chickened out and would shake the images from her mind.
She thought of what her sister might say and knew her sister would tell her to grow a set and just do it. Cephera decided she needed some fresh air and retreated outside to the gardens for a long thoughtful walk.
(Loki)
Loki sat at his tower desk attempting to write notes on the newest concoction of his but his mind kept moving backward to that morning. He remembered waking to the feel of her hand in his hair and he enjoyed the lulling feeling it gave him. Soothing even. At the time he hadn't really put two and two together to know it was his wife and not Shay but looking back now the touches were so completely different. Cephera had done so with almost unsure strokes, soft and caressing where as Shay liked to dig deep into his scalp with her fingertips. Loki liked both ways.
He was not happy that it had been his wife mainly because ignoring her was difficult enough with everything that had happened. He hadn't allowed her to touch him because he didn't want to know the feel of her skin or the touches she could enact on him. He didn't take baths with her knowing that he already approved of her body having seen her in that thin nightgown. Taking a bath with her would only cause him to have sexual stirrings he just didn't need. So far he had been able to contain his sexual attraction toward her but now without a woman to satisfy his needs that would become more difficult. He could always just use his wife for sex but so etching about that felt wrong even for him.
Loki wasn't completely heartless like everyone seemed to believe. He thought he was doing right with his wife by not giving her false hopes and using and abusing her for his own selfish desires but it seemed that even in that no one agreed with his method. Once again he was the son who couldn't do anything right. Even now Shay was against him. He knew her tone of voice and he knew she meant it. She would not share her bed with him any longer. Loki felt alone with only one option to turn to but still he would not turn to his wife.
