Seventy Two
"I'm so sorry." Loki said while applying Neosporin to my wounds. Neither of us had gotten much sleep. We did, after all had a lot of time to make up for.
"Never be sorry for anything done in passion." I cooed, grabbing him and kissing him. He kissed back fiercely, driving his tongue into my mouth. "Babe, I don't think I have the energy to go again."
"I know." He whined with disappointment. I think it was the first time I've ever turned anyone down for sex. "We forgot something in Alfheim. I need to go back and retrieve it."
"Don't be gone long, your few minutes may be days that I'll miss that sexy ass of yours."
"Might be days you need to rest and recover for my home coming." He kissed along my jawline. He went about to rubbing more ointment into the bite mark he left in my shoulder.
"What did we forget?"
"Nothing major." He said cryptically. I left it at that, savoring his touches that I wouldn't have for a few days. It had been a long time since we'd been apart for any reason. I knew I could occupy myself. I had Bruce in town and a drone project to finish. I'd just miss waking up next to him, and his strong arms wrapped protectively around me.
He finished bandaging me up, laying a sweet kiss on my forehead. Just as the doorbell started ringing.
"Don't get into trouble. I'll be back in a few days." He smiled caressing my cheek.
"I will." I smiled back. I leaned forward kissing him, like it would be our last. He backed off and disappeared in a wisp of smoke. I smiled sadly and moved to answer the door.
