Seventy Three

The three days Loki was gone, were bittersweet. I had Pepper, Natasha and Bruce there for company, but I missed Loki. I missed his touches, his kisses, his voice purring my name. For a while, I thought my mood was being reflected in the weather, as a storm settled over the area. A rare hurricane had formed and was crossing the Malibu area. It was a strong storm and had knocked power out to most of the area. I insisted on Pepper, Nat and Bruce abandoning the hotel and staying with me. I did after all, have the steel shutters over the windows and the house was powered by a larger arc reactor.

Bruce had an idea while I was gone. He and Nat had been working on trying to calm the other guy down. Natasha had found out that a few key pressure points worked to bring Bruce back, but he wanted a fail safe in case he was out of control or something happened to Nat. He had drawn up a suit for me that was double the size of the Hulk, with an airborne sentry to deliver new parts.

"I'm not going to be able haul this around everywhere. And it's too bulky to get into small spots like the Mark 42." I protested finding the design flaws.

"What if we wrap the suit around you in the Mark 42? Just have it with us in case something goes wrong?"

"Good thought. But that much metal will be hard to carry around and won't fit into the Quinjet."

"You're probably right. This was a bad idea." Bruce kicked himself.

"No, it's a good idea. Just let me think about it." I pondered and designed most of the night. The thunder and driving rain keeping me up.

It was almost six in the morning when I finished and drowsily walked to my room.

"Another night alone." I sighed. "I wish he was home." I pushed the door open. Much to my surprise a very blue, very naked Loki, was sitting on the bed surrounded by books.

"Tony!" He shouted, teleporting the small distance to pin me against the door.

"Loki? You're home?"

"I'm home." He said placing small kisses over my face and lips. His hands steadily working on removing my pants.

"I'm happy to see you too. What's with the books?"

"Hm, that? Research." He said blandly as he knelt, running his tongue along my hardening cock. My fingers finding their way into his hair. I moaned as he took me in his mouth, his talented tongue finding the more sensitive parts.

"I've missed you too." I moaned. A clap of thunder sent him teleporting behind my bare legs. "Just thunder." I reminded.

"I've told you I'm not too fond of what follows."

"This storm's been raging for two days, it's not your brother. Please clear these books so I can welcome you home properly." I reassured, taking his hands and helping him up. He had the books cleaned up with a small wave. I led him the bed, letting him fall back. I knelt between his open thighs, kissing up the dark lines. He shivered with every touch, especially when I touched my tongue to the raised lines on his cock. Loving his reaction, I went deeper, lavishing attention on him.

"Tony, please. Stop, don't want to cum so soon." He panted out between breaths. I backed off kissing just his head. I kicked off my jeans that were around my ankles. I repositioned, pushing into him. He gasped, tightening up. I'd never tire of how tight he was.

"Don't ever leave me again." I leaned in kissing him deep. He moaned louder with every thrust. We both came far too quickly, lying with each other in a sweaty tangle on the bed. I smoothed his hair out of his eyes, placing kisses all over his face.

"Tony? Are you all right? We heard a noise." Pepper knocked and poked her head in the door. She blushed as she realized she walked in on an intimate moment. Loki magicked on jeans for both of us.

"Pepper, we're alright. Just a happy home coming." I assured her. Pepper's eyes never leaving Loki. "And it wasn't as much noise as yesterday night."

"Nat and Bruce." She smiled shyly.

"Come here, Pepper." Loki called her over. "You're obviously curious. Come here and get a closer look."

Pepper shyly walked over, sitting next to me. Loki held his hands out for her. She took one, examining his blue skin and blackened nails. He shivered as she brushed over the dark lines.

"It's beautiful." She murmured.

"He's beautiful." I corrected, capturing his lips in a kiss.

"As much as I'd love to admire your boyfriends body, I'll let you get back to…whatever." She got up. "Welcome home, Loki."

Pepper kissed us each on the cheek before leaving.

"Nat and Bruce?" Loki asked.

"Yeah, that was a surprise for me too." I laughed. I ran my thumb over the markings on his chin. "You never told me what we forgot in Alfheim."

"It was more something I had Îrben do for me. I needed research about my heritage. I needed more information on the Jotun peoples, so I had Îrben gather some books from Asgard for me. Especially if someday we'll want to raise a family."

"Learn anything interesting?"

"I think. I figured out the markings are more than a family crest."

"Oh yeah?" I said running my fingers over the lines on his stomach.

"They're for identification in white out snow conditions. That's why they're darker. And because Jotuns live in extreme cold, things like kissing and what you would consider foreplay usually end in being frozen together. So the lines evolved a hypersensitivity that are erogenous areas." Loki explained.

"And why are they sensitive now? Why not before?"

"I was just getting to that when you walked in." He laughed and magicked a book back into his hand. I looked over his shoulder, hoping to find the answer before he did.

"Loki? What language is this?" I asked confused.

"It's elvish." He simply said. I shook my head.

"Wake me when you find something out." I said curling up next to him to sleep, happy he was home.
