Chapter 21: Something New

Loki woke to soft hair tickling his face and the smell of smouldering wood that had long burnt out. He left his head ever so slightly to find Cephera still very much asleep. Loki stared at his wife feeling content. All the negative thoughts and emotions inside him had settled down leaving behind a peace he hadn't felt in a long time. He hated to admit that everyone had been right. He should have just given her at least a chance.

Loki was not ready to give all of him. He didn't know her in that comfortable a manner but it would come in time if this should work out. Loki grazed her face with his fingertips somewhat amused how waking next to her like this was so different from Shay. Shay had been the only other woman he'd slept next to for any amount of time. He felt guilty now for having had Cephera deal with him as he slept with someone else but that was in the past.

Cephera's eyes opened in a few blinks and looked up at him. She still lay on her back where he last remembered her before he fell asleep with her. "Is it to late to take you up in that offer for a bath?" He asked grinning. She smiled in return.

"No." She replied. He stood helping her up. He filled the bath and together they slipped in. "What are you doing today?" She asked him after a while of cleaning and quiet. It seemed the awkwardness between them still lingered.

"I had promised Thor another hunt. We came back empty handed last night." Loki told her.

"I'll be going into town with Shay. I'm not sure what to expect since the news." She said referring to the consummation.

"I'm sure you'll handle them just fine." He gave her a confident smile. She'd done well so far pertaining to the people. Loki noticed that now that they were completely awake and neither of them were horny she was blushing. She wasn't used to being with him this way. Loki moved from his spot across from her in the overly large bath and put a finger under her chin. He didn't like the tension that still seemed to divide them. He kissed her savouring the feel of her lips and he would have like so e more time to explore her again but Thor would be waiting. He released her and helped her out.

They arrived at breakfast and afterward they departed ways not having said much to one another. He did however look back at her as he left with Thor and was glad to see her smiling at him. Was it wrong for Loki to want this to work?

Loki rode far outside the city into the dense woods along side Thor. He could tell Thor desperately wanted to say something and Loki also knew it would have something to do with Cephera but he made Thor wait not speaking or acknowledging him until they were far from prying ears. "You have something to say Thor?" Loki inquired at last and Thor's head swivelled quickly and he looked all to excited for the invitation.

"You and Cephera are getting along I hear." Thor said avoiding going right into the detail of the fact that their consummated marriage was now the talk of Asgard.

"We have found a medium at this time." Loki replied.

"This is wonderful news." Thor replied laughing loudly. "I was worried you would never allow her or yourself the happiness you both deserve." Thor added. Loki scowled.

"Do not get ahead of yourself. The girl affords me pleasure in the bedchambers. There is not yet anything else we've spoken of that would give me this happiness you speak of. I am simply giving this marriage a chance nothing more." Thor looked taken aback.

"Loki do not use her to simply slake your lusts. To use her in such a way..." Loki cut Thor off quickly.

"Don't be daft. I am not using her. To start this relationship properly I first needed to consummate it what follows will only be determined with time. I do not wish to use her for sex alone." Loki was slightly offended that Thor would think him that low.

"Good." Was all Thor seemed to be able to say afterward. They moved on with their minds set to hunting and no more talk happened about Loki and his marriage.

(Cephera)

The only thing different about the city was that people now gave her looks slightly akin to pity. Some asked of her health and Shay was kind enough to explain that most people assumed Loki had forced Cephera to bed. As Cephera had no want to talk of her sex life with anyone but perhaps Shay, she had no way to counter the current thoughts of the people. The only thing she was able to do was show them she was in good health and in good spirits.

Aside from the odd looks and a couple of strange conversations and strained congratulations she retired home. Shay was still taking the remedy for her illness that should be cleared up in a month or so but the remedy caused her some nausea and so she retired to bed the moment they got home. The same nausea kept her from attending the very party that had started Loki's odd spiral of sexual tendencies.

Cephera visited the queen and sat with her as she worked on her tapestry. The queen only asked how things were going and when Cephera replied good that had been all they spoke of regarding her relationship with her son. Frigga was nice enough not to pry if she didn't feel the need to.

When Cephera finally started her way to her shared room she came across Loki himself. They both stopped in the hallway and Loki smirked at her his eyes seemed to light up with enthusiasm and Cephera almost giggled when he took her hand and quickly led them both to their room closing the door hard. In mere seconds Cephera was pressed to the back of the door with Loki pulling her up to wrap her legs about his waist as he kissed her.

Cephera couldn't explain it. Even though they had shared very little more than sex the past two nights she felt content. The way he kissed her and touched her were attentive and almost loving. He was not rough in any way she didn't enjoy and his eagerness to have her invigorated her. Like now he hadn't even been able to wait until they had both gotten washed and ready for bed before he had his lips searching her and his hands caressing her skin. Cephera felt irresistible, a feeling she was unaccustomed to.

His kisses moved from her lips to her jaw and lower to her neck. His pelvis pinning her to the door as her legs helped keep her locked around him. Both his hands working the bindings to her bodice. She had been glad she wore such a garment today. His eyes would look back at her hungry with the same possessive qualities as the first night. Cephera became a bundle of squeals and giggles as he spun her quickly and none to gracefully dropped her to the bed once he crossed the floor. Her squeals continued as he seemed almost amused at her playful mood and grabbed at her sides where she was ticklish.

She panted and gasped for air as she attempted to squirm away from him but he held her fast. He paused after a little play before he dropped over her fully his lips sliding across the now revealed swell of her breasts before his teeth latched onto her skin. Cephera cried out more in surprise as the bite was not harmful. In its wake it left a red welt that quickly vanished as he began another. Cephera moaned as he moved her bodice down further to bring her nipples forth and his hot mouth covered one pulling with his teeth and sucking it between his lips. All the while his other hand was fondling its twin.

Cephera moaned in pleasure arching her back to push her breasts greedily up at him for more. Loki detached himself from her chest and pinned her down harshly by her shoulders before leaning down and whispering in her ear. "Who would have thought an innocent woman such as yourself could give so much naughty fun in the bedroom." He said licking the shell of her ear and grinning. "Tonight you'll scream my name. Tonight you'll beg me for release. Tonight I teach you the satisfaction of delayed gratification." Cephera shivered as he spoke. His leg coming up between her spread legs to push against her sex through her skirts. She wriggled slightly to apply more friction but he moved his leg back away.

Cephera knew what he meant to do to her. She knew what his words meant. He would not let her come tonight. Not until he wanted her to. Not until she begged him enough and then when he finally would she'd be so sexually frustrated she'd scream for him. She'd scream whatever the hell he wanted her to scream just to feel release. The idea aroused her to no end and Loki wasted no time beginning with her breasts once more. Cephera continued to moan and sigh with each touch he delivered to her. When he stopped this time he pulled her to sit up. He looked at the dress and as if deciding it was a disgusting sight he made it vanish using magic. It had been her first time seeing him preform magic and Cephera looked at him wide eyed and with deep interest. Cephera sat there and realized it hadn't been just the dress to disappear but her panties as well. She was completely naked.

Loki chuckled at her expression and trailed a couple of fingers along her leg and then turning them so the pads of his pointer and middle finger came to rest against her clit. "Are you ready wife?" He asked her.

"Yes." She replied in a breath of exhaled air. Loki grinned once more and began to press circles over her clit. Cephera leaned back her palms keeping her half sat up by pressing onto the bed behind her. Her legs spread wide for his greedy eyes and her head titled back her eyes closed. Loki was skilled. Even though she hadn't had other partners just the way he moved and the pleasure he could enact told her he was skilled.

His fingers rubbed and dipped down to coat them in her now flowing arousal and back to rub some more. She moaned and panted as he drew her so very close. When Cephera got to the point she was tensing her thighs and clenching her toes Loki would stop and she would whimper as she had been so close to release. She was surprised he noticed such things about her. The way her body reacted before she'd orgasm. Although with the amount he made her cum she really shouldn't be that surprised. Loki tisked as her for not having tried to hold back and began his teasing from the beginning. The more Cephera came close to releasing he would stop and every so often he would give her a sharp slap to her outer thigh. "Control yourself." He told her.

"I can't. Please...let me come." She said shaking her head feeling frenzied with need. Loki smirked.

"Not until I tell you." He repeated. "Delayed gratification is not about torture but building up to an extraordinary release you wouldn't normally feel. To build up so much anticipation until you explode with every sensation you'd been holding back." Cephera hung on his every word and nodded. "Again." He said and began the same movements as before. Cephera got close and felt the build up in her core but it took all she had to not tense up. To not allow herself to propel over the edge. She moaned more loudly in her continued efforts.

When he stopped this time he began to remove his clothes manually and when he was naked he slipped down onto the bed positioned between her legs. Cephera yearned to feel him in her. His length slid along the lips of her cunt and he pushed between them as he went until he glided easily inside her. Cephera bit her lip as Loki bent over her further forcing her to lie down. He placed his forehead to hers and began a slow steady rhythm. Cephera had curved her arms under his and glided her nails over his back which she had taken note that he liked. In just two nights she'd paid close attention when she wasn't screaming in pleasure.

He seemed to be keeping her calm with his movements as it felt good but not enough to make her cum. Loki sped up after a small amount of time and Cephera felt his thrusts deepen as well. She cried out as he touched that spot within her. It wasn't a complete direct contact but it was enough that if touched enough she would cum. The longer he pumped into her the closer she got. "Control." He reminded her when she drew ever closer. His words snapped her back to herself and she did all that she could to not tighten herself to release. Her nails bit into his skin and he growled low and husky.

"Please..." She begged.

"Not yet." He told her. Cephera felt like she wanted to cry the pleasure was so balled up. It wasn't a sad cry more a frustrated cry. Her core felt like it could burst and he wanted her to keep control. "Soon." He promised and moved against her harder.

"Loki...ahhh...please." She panted and strained each word. She heard him chuckle and then grunt as he changed his efforts against her. Cephera felt like she would go insane. A strong urge to release building that felt much like the sensation to urinate. Most of her orgasms began that way but this was more intense than usual. She was frightened she might actually do just that. Cephera clung to Loki her throat feeling raw as she continued to cry out with each move he made. "I'm close, let go Cephera, let go." Loki's words were like a gift from the heavens and Cephera allowed herself to clench her legs around his hips and her toes curled.

She screamed his name as he had made clear he wanted her to and to her horror she felt a rush of fluid spurt from her body as her core spasmed in pleasure. She couldn't control the liquid and could feel the sheets beneath her grow damp. Loki only collided his hips between her legs and grunted his own release. Her shivering walls milking every ounce of semen he had to give.

Cephera felt almost dizzy with her euphoria but also embarrassment. Loki also seemed to be taking a moment to revel in his own release but when he finally retracted off her smaller frame and knelt up he touched the sheets below her and Cephera covered her face. "I'm sorry." She said behind her hands.

"For what?" Loki said amused.

"I...I made a mess." She said not having the guts to say anything else.

"Cephera." He said his tone strange. She felt his hand take hers from her face and he forced her to sit up. She looked at him her face flushed a deep red. "This is not what you think it is. Like a man has his seed a woman may sometimes also release a fluid. It only means you had a very good time." Cephera noticed his thighs were glistening with her juices and felt a wash of relief. "Although I'll keep in mind to not force that from you often or I fear we may need a new bed." Cephera turned red again. He was right, she had released quite a lot. "Let's get cleaned up." He still had a hold of her hand and pulled her to the bathroom with him.

"Have you made many people do that?" She asked as they washed off. Loki eyed her for a second as if wondering what kind of information to give her. It didn't bother her he had experience. Really it was nice that one of them did.

"Not many. I've had many different women. Some had to go through great lengths to cum at all and some never did. You're lucky. You're very sensitive to touch and I knew that I wanted to make you do that. It's an experience not every woman gets to have." He said honestly. Cephera appreciated the honesty.

"I feel bad for them then." She replied.

"Ever hear the saying 'you don't know what you're missing'." She nodded. "People use that in the wrong context in my opinion. I believe that if you don't know what you're missing then it doesn't matter. Those people do what works for them. They adapt to themselves to derive from it other pleasures. Those it comes easy to will never know what it feels like to work for it but that doesn't make us miss it. Don't feel bad for them but respect them for having their own unique ways of finding things they enjoy." Cephera smiled. She hadn't heard him speak like this before and it was interesting.

"Thank you." She said once they had led down in the bed. There was no longer a gap between them as she pressed herself close to his side and Shiaji stayed in his small form on her pillow.

"For what?" Loki asked confused.

"For showing me that. It's nice to experience new things you didn't know you could." She told him. She played her fingers along his shoulder her cheek resting close by.

"Don't thank me yet. I'm not done with you yet." Loki said a cocky sly tone to his voice.

"I can't wait." She said kissing his shoulder before closing her eyes and allowing sleep to take her.
