Can I Keep You?

Chapter 3: Crush, Crush, Crush

I nod my head and walk slowly into Loki's suite. The room had dark coloring. The floors were black and grey tile. He also had a black leather couch, and a rather large set of bookshelves that stretched the length of the far wall. Many, many books lined the walls. Full of spell books and random bouts of olde English literature. The kitchen had dark grey counters and a black island in the middle of the room. The door straight back no doubt held his bedroom and bathroom. A blush sweeping up my cheeks as I think about Loki's bedroom.

I turned around to look at Loki. He was leaning against the door frame with an amused look on his face. "Like what you see darling?"

"Yes it's very nice. Definitely bigger than my suite!" Not entirely sure why I said that. I loved my new suite, it was perfect.

"What would you like to drink darling?" He asked walking into his kitchen. He started opening a few cabinets. "Well it seems all I have is Asgardian liquor, or water." A wicked grin on his face.

"I'll try the spirits." I smiled sweetly at him sitting down on his couch. He chuckled deep in his throat.

"Ah yes, I must warn you. It is a lot stronger than what your used to." He flicked his wrist and immediately two glasses of swirling red liquid in black goblets sat on the table infront to her. Loki appearing on the couch beside.

"Woah. Cool trick" I giggle, reaching for the glass. Loki watch's intently as I take a big long sip of the liquid. The taste was very sweet and oh so strong. I must have made a face because Loki started to laugh.

"You should probably text Stark and let him know your not coming" he said taking a big gulp of his own drink.

~~~~~Many Drinks Later~~~~~~

"S..soo tell me how you ended up here with the avengers?" I ask finishing off my 4th glass of Asgardian spirits.

Loki smirks at me before grabbing my glass from me, before making it disappear.

"Oh you mean after I attempted to take over New York, how did they ever let me join them?" He rolls his eyes and leans back against he couch. " I'm rather useful with my magic, and it's part of my punishment from Odin."

"Whose Odin?" I ask also leaning back against the couch, head spinning a little.

"My adoptive father.." he trails off looking into what's left of his goblet. " I'm to remain here on Midgard and help the avengers and the human race until Odin seems for for my return." He swigs the last of his goblet and his eyes seem to shine. "Now you want to tell me why you want to work for your sister? You have a thing for super Hero's?" He wiggles his eyebrows suggestively. I find myself laughing and leaning forward a bit.

"Only the dark brooding ones"

"Oh you mean Starks not your type?" His eyes lock on mine. I gulp and shut my eyes.

"Tony and I.. have.. you know what it's getting late I should probably go back to my room." I start to stand up. Loki puts his hand on my knee to stop me from getting up. He raises his eyebrow.

"So Stark is a sensitive subject? I'll keep that in mind. So keep telling me about tall, dark and handsome?"

I laugh " I said dark and brooding"

"Hmm well isn't that the same?" Something pulls on my stomach at the way his eyes rake over me. My heart starts to flutter. Before the rational part of my brain can take over I grab both sides of his face with my slender fingers.

Now I have his attention. Loki gives me a mischievous smile and leans in towards me, gently pressing his lips to mine. I press back a little rougher than intended with the alcohol in my system. Kissing him deeply. His tongue licks my bottom lip asking permission and I quickly obliged. Our tongues instantly start to fight for dominance and he wraps a hand lightly around my throat making me moan into his mouth.

My hands leave his cheeks and start to pull at his hair. Loki gasps into my mouth which drives me crazy. My hands instantly going down to his shirt, trying to yank it off his body. He chuckles and leans forward a little blocking me. My hands go to my own shirt and start fumbling with it. His hands slowly grab mine in his.

"Darling, as much as I would love to do this.. it's getting rather late, and tomorrow is your first day." His voice whispers as his hands hold mine still. Confusion is my first thought, quickly followed by rejection. I nod my head and stand up quickly.

"Your right, I'm sorry it must be the alcohol. I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry." I quickly mumble as I make my way to his door. He appears infront of the door and smiles lightly at me.

"Have a goodnight Helena. I look forward to seeing you around." He waves his hand letting the door open before me. I quickly shake my head in thanks and walk out of the room. Loki winks at me before flicking his wrist and the door shutting again. I take a deep breath and start walking back down the hallway towards my suite.
