Author: lokilover9 Chapter: #20 Rating:Teen The morning following the storm, Shandi made her way to the kitchen and found a note next to the coffee maker from Loki. ‘I heard my unexpected absence yesterday, left you rather concerned. Should it reoccur, Kroshka suggested leaving you a horse tranquilizer. I opted for a note, instead. Currently, I'm inspecting the grounds for damages and forest debris from the storm. Tell me when you're ready to go. ;) Yours truly, Brat.’ She poured a bowl of Fruit Loops. “A horse tranquilizer? You're in deep doos doos, Natskies.” Loki's secret destination turned out to be a Mini Golf course and minus some amusing mishaps, the two quite enjoyed themselves. While returning to the car, he couldn't stop smirking and Shandi finally caved. “Okay, let's have it. I can tell you're ‘dying’ to comment.” “You're hilarious.” He laughed. “It was enough one ball struck the ass of a senior, then a second flew beyond the fence, but a third nearly decapitated a squirrel.” “Well..he shouldn't have sat atop the challenge marker. I thought the little twerp was part of it.” “Yes, but you were to aim the ball through it.” “Listen, I've a hard enough time seeing my feet, nevermind a tiny ball before them.” “Fair enough, but Norns you've a violent swing Lizzy. It's a good thing we weren't bowling. Imagine the carnage, then?” Before driving off, they received a call from Tony. “Hey guys. As it turns out, S.H.I.E.L.D didn't know of Shamus selling at the fair because the Antiques are owned by his son and common law wife. Their main shop is located in Jersey and ownership is under her name. With a fair happening there this weekend also, I'm guessing Shamus is selling here as a favor.” “Perfect timing.” Said Shandi. “You bet, Doll. On another note….” Shandi and Loki were elated to learn the couple were expecting. “Ahhh! Does this mean I get to play auntie? I'm going to spoil your little one, rotten!” “Maybe I'll postpone any shopping until this missions over.” Said Pepper. “Nat expressed the same.” “You must celebrate with some Asgardian Whiskey, Tin Man. Thor should still possess a few bottles.” “Not after the birthday incident.” Said Pepper. “He's forbidden to drink that, like you're forbidden to conjure him gifts, Loki.” “As you wish, Virginia.” “Yeah, see Cactus? You traumatized my girl.” The call ended and Loki chuckled. “I conjured him a blow up doll of the hulk, with breasts, a lacy bra and feathered butt plug.” Shandi rubbed her brow. “Oh my goddd. You're truly warped.” “Eh he he he.” Carters Bakery was busy when they arrived and Shandi went straight to the ladies room, in the basement. It had recently been renovated, given three new stalls, each fully private from floor to ceiling. While doing her business, she paid no mind to another who’d entered, until hearing an oddly familiar sound outside her door. “Hello? Who's there?” Footsteps quickly faded, after the entrance door closed and she carried on. Upstairs, Alice was behind the counter, aiding Mrs. Carter, Beth was working in the back and Loki patiently waited for Shandi at a two seater table. Focused on his phone, he hadn't seen Tanya enter until she purposely stood in his view. Clad with thick makeup, heavy perfume, a snug, cut off t and jeans so tight, they sported a camel toe, he thought her absurd. Especially when parking it on the opposite chair, with a sly grin. “Hello friend. Remember me?” “Can't say as I do.” He flatly replied. Her frustration due to insult, was hardly concealed behind a fake smile. “The grocery store?” “Oh..right. That seat is reserved for my wife. Would you mind?” Tanya pouted and twirled a lock of her hair. “Does she accompany you everywhere?” Loki replied, politely. “Not that it's any of your business, but I prefer it that way.” Ignoring his comment, she leaned onto the table, attempting to lure his gaze to her cleavage. “What a crime one so tantalizingly handsome would waste himself on only one.” He returned to his phone. “Your time would be better spent elsewhere. Good day.” Mrs. Carter then approached and customers lessened their chatter, when she plunked a bag down before Tanya. “These are what you came for, yes? Daddy's steak pies? Today, they're going on his tab. Now, be off.” A short, stout, woman, close in age to Alice, she carried an air of one you’d hesitate crossing, yet it was clear by her tone and demeanor, Tanya frequently indulged. With a smug glare, the young woman quietly left. Once out of sight, Mrs. Carter had no sooner introduced herself as Judy when a young girl came tugging on her mother's arm. “They're out of order and I really have to go.” “The washrooms?” Asked Judy. “No they aren't, Cassie.” “But, the sign said so.” “What sign?” “On the door and there's a lady inside asking for help.” Loki was downstairs in seconds and found Shandi trapped in her stall, by three large pieces of duct tape across the door. “What the fuck?” Magic quickly peeled them away and when she stepped out, sweaty and flustered, he was genuinely concerned. “Are you alright? How long have you been in there?” “Since we arrived.” She dabbed her face with a paper towel. “Why the hell would somebody do this?” Judy suddenly appeared, gasped at the scene, then scowled. “Because they aren't playing with a full deck. Good heavens girl, are you hurt at all?” “No.” Shandi replied. “Might I ask who you're referring to?” “Tanya. I heard you'd the misfortune of already meeting her?” Alice arrived and her mouth fell agape. “Unbelievable, she hasn't been back two weeks!” “You're surprised?” Asked Judy. “She must've come from doing a duct tape run for daddy, before coming for his dinner.” By this point, Shandi was visibly pissed and Loki gained her attention with a kiss to the temple. “Please Elizabeth, try hard not to let this upset yourself, or the baby?” He then addressed Judy. “Are you certain she's responsible?” “I'd bet my life on it, son.” “I still don't understand.” Said Shandi. “What was her intent and how was she aware I was down here?” “I'm guessing she saw you enter together, via the window, then watched yourself head downstairs. Her intent, was to access him.” Judy gestured towards Loki and Shandi stared up at him, subconsciously crossing her arms. “And did she?” Battling a smirk, he replied. “Briefly, but I was quick to dismiss her.” She relaxed again. “Oh...well okay then.” Cassie and her mother entered, so Loki excused himself to wait upstairs. When Alice followed, he asked if Tanya was prone to such behavior. “When learning you’d encountered her through Laura, Beth and I gave a subtle warning to Elizabeth, hoping not to raise needless concerns. In light of this, you need to be better informed.” Judy waited as Shandi washed her hands, apologized for the incident, then offered her and Loki free lunch, plus any other intended purchases. When Cassie was settled in a stall, her mother was introduced as Rachel and a short conversation began. “I gather princess evil has struck again?” “Unfortunately, yes.” Judy replied. Rachel shook her head. “Was that your husband, honey?” Shandi nodded. “Then you've a problem.” The stall reopened, all went quiet and Judy shot Rachel a reassuring wink. “You can always call Dahlia or I, if you need to.” “You're busy, Judy.” “It doesn't matter.” Rachel smiled. “Thanks.” The bakery was empty when Shandi returned and as Rachel and her daughter left, Loki insisted they accept Judys offer. She requested they remain until after she made a call, excused herself, then Beth nonchalantly locked the Bakery’s door and lit the closed sign. Once the couple were served and seated, the ladies retreated into the back and Shandi whispered. “Don't you find it odd we’re locked in?” “Apparently, Judy likes privacy for such calls.” “Huh?” At that moment, Judy's angered voice rang loud and clear through the walls. “GOD DAMMIT, SCOTT! SHE TRAPPED A PREGNANT WOMAN IN A BATHROOM STALL! YOU’VE HEARD FROM ENOUGH OF US WHAT SHE'S CAPABLE OF, GROW A DAMN SPINE AND STOP TURNING A BLIND EYE TO IT!” “Is she actually addressing the Chief of police, Tanya's father?” “Yes, Alice warned me of it.” “What? And you agreed to stick around? We can't risk him wanting to question us about this.” “OF COURSE THERE WERE NO WITNESSES, THERE NEVER IS! FROM NOW ON, COME FOR YOUR OWN PIES, SEND YOUR NEWEST ROOKIE OR HIRE A BLOODY COURIER! IF SHE STEPS ANOTHER FOOT IN MY BAKERY, I’M FILING TRESPASSING CHARGES, YA HEAR?” “Apparently, being questioned about today, will not occur. Tanya, however, may become a problem." “Why?” “According to Alice, she’s caused several divorces in this town, takes pride in such accomplishments and is known to be relentless in the pursuit of those she fancies.” “Are you implying she now fancies you? I mean no offense, but you only..met once.” Shandi recalled the immediate effect Loki had had on her and the thought of anyone else trying to win his affections, sparked unpredictable jealousy at a level she'd never experienced, until Tanya entered the picture. And of course being the God of Mischief, Loki couldn't help but tease, finding amusement in her reactions. “Do you not think it possible, she could?” “I never said that.” “It may be pure physical attraction.” “It's pure stupidity thinking you can boink a guy, buy taking the actions she did.” Loki cackled at her frown. “Boink? There's a way of putting it. Does that mean I'm, boink-able?” A smirk curled on his lips when she blushed. ‘Oh lord.’ “I'm hungry. Let's eat now, Clifford.” ‘I'm hungry too, Pet. Yet not for a sandwich.’ “Certainly.” Once Judy regained her calm, the women reappeared, sat at the next table and without hesitation, began speaking about Tanya. They revealed she'd been absent from town almost a year and always returned to Scott after a relationship elsewhere went sour, or they'd have a blow out of sorts, then he'd allow her back. Her daddy's weakness, she was spoiled to an atrocious degree and most in town, were reluctant to challenge her with Scotts position. They warned she's a master manipulator and liar, lacks empathy and respect, is highly charismatic and applies these talents along with her beauty, seeking out the hearts of unattainable men to appease her ego. Once realizing her charms have failed, or she's rejected after an affair, her talents are then used destroying her desires life, regardless of who else she hurts to succeed. Shandi was silent, thinking Tanya was indeed despicable, when Loki spoke up. “Has she ever been violent?” Alice and Beth looked to Shandi, as Judy responded. “Yes. That's why we're telling you all of this.”

@latent-thoughts And sometimes all of this and every breath you use in the fight, becomes utterly exhausting and deprives you of that will. To a point where you question your very existence. But you must never give up. You're not the only one who needs you. That alone matters more than you could ever know. 🌹

It doesn’t happen like that. You don’t just wake up one day and find that everything has worked itself out. You must get out of bed, morning after morning, and make a conscious effort to control the circumstances of that given day. You must learn to handle your issues with grace because you respect what they are attempting to teach you. You must drown your insecurities slowly, one self-realization at a time. You must allow yourself to feel the fear bubbling just beneath your skin but you must never allow it the satisfaction of crippling you; grit your teeth and march on. You see, they never tell you how hard these things will be. This fight to reclaim yourself is not easy or straightforward but, my god, is it necessary.

Title: Irked Author: lokilover9 Chapter: #19 Notes: Movie ~ What Women Want with Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt Rating:Teen Twenty minutes after Shandis initial panic, coffee was finally brewing in the kitchen as Nat watched her pace back and forth from the table. “Sit, woman. You're making me dizzy.” “I can't believe Loki left his phone here. He’s to have it with him at all times. And why isn't Clint answering his? Where are they?” “Stop worrying, I'm sure they're together. Why would Loki go out in this storm alone? Clint probably left his phone in the truck. It's a habit. Shandi poured equal amounts of cream and coffee in her mug, then added three spoonfuls of sugar. “I'm Cactus sitting, responsible for him at all times. Couldn't he have left a note or something? What if Tony calls? Oh man.” Nat smirked, as she paced again. “Maybe coffee isn't the best option, for you.” “I'm worried.” “No shit.” Shandi then downed her coffee, went to look out the front windows, returned and paced yet again. “Final warning.” Said Nat. “You've about three seconds to halt, or be tied to something.” “If he thought I was upset last night, that was nothing. You wait, Natskies.” “The spanking paddle might be handy. Unless he runs.” Nats comment fell on deaf ears, then Shandi stopped abruptly. “I should go clean my room, make my bed and shit? Yep. Maybe that’ll help me relax.” She darted upstairs and Nat sipped her coffee. “I’m staying down here.” Another twenty minutes past and she heard Shandi shower quickly, run down the front stairs, grapple with something amidst a closet, run back up and start the Central Vac. Two minutes later, Loki and Clint returned. “I can't believe you convinced me to drive in this. You're a manic, Cactus.” “And you're a whiner.” Loki teased. “How does Kroshka even tolerate such nonsense?” “Bite me and you're now in debt another coconut cake.” “Shall I decorate it with candied nipple clamps?” “Go for it.” Nat suggested as they entered the kitchen. “Hardy har.” Said Clint. “Mind if I use your bathroom, to shower? I need more sleep too.” “Certainly baby cakes and again, thanks for the escort.” Clint started up the stairs. “Maniac!” “He was tanked last nigh, Cactust. How did you get him up so early?” “I threatened to tattoo ‘Porn Bitch,’ on his forehead. When ignored, I handed him a mirror.” Said Loki. “Baby cakes would have sufficed, but good choice.” Nat kept smiling, observing Loki organize what sat upon the island. “Something on your mind?” He asked. “Care to know why Shandi loves those movies, I mentioned?” “I do.” “Both are about men who fall for women, in ways they could never fathom. In the beginning, they mess up, then become determined to make amends.” “I see. I gather Shandi spoke of my deceit?” “Yes and you and I never had this conversation.” Said Nat. “I understand.” “Considering the subject, I convinced her you meant well, but may I offer more friendly advice?” “Of course.” “A beautiful heart, doesn't mean a weak soul, Loki. Disrespect her personal choices and she'll toss you to the curb.” He nodded in acknowledgement. “Duly noted, Kroshka. Anything else?” “Yes. The next time you go anywhere without informing her, remember your phone or consider leaving behind a horse tranquilizer?” “Whatever for?” Nat explained and he laughed. “My bad. As we’re on the subject, what did I miss from that scene in What Women Want, which captivates her?” “When they're dancing in the bedroom?” “Yes.” “Watch it on YouTube, Cactus. You’ll figure it out.” Shandi was toiling away in her room when the vacuum stopped and Nat entered. “I wasn't done with that.” “Yes you are, they're back.” “She flopped onto the bed with her arms stretched out. "Thank heavens.” Nat pulled her up. “Come on drama queen. There's something you need to see.” As they entered the kitchen Shandis mouth fell ajar. “What? He actually did this?” There on the island, sat everything Loki hadn't purchased during their shop, including her two boxes of Fruit Loops. “Yes beautiful. He went out in that storm, to make things right with you.” Nat smirked as Shandi blinked at her, misty eyed. “Are you just going to stand here like a love sick puppy, or go talk to him?” Loki had retreated to the library, closed the door and searched that movie scene on his laptop. It was very evident the love and adoration the male actor portrayed towards the female, as though she meant everything to him. ‘Do you seek such affections, Pet?’ Someone knocked then and he closed the app. “You may enter the God of Mischiefs lair.” Shandi peeked in and smirked. “Is it safe?” “For now.” Loki kidded. She leaned against the doorframe, in momentary silence. ‘Damn him when he looks at me like that.’ “I noticed you went shopping..in the storm. You didn't have to do that. I mean, I could've waited until tomorrow. Regardless, it was very kind. Thank you.” “You're quite welcome, Shandi. I apologize for my deceit.” A warm smile, overtook her. “I accept. Nat and I thought to watch another movie. You're welcome to join us.” Loki recalled Nats fantasy from the previous night, Shandis pleasured response and hesitated. ‘I've only presently escaped trouble. Perhaps I shouldn't lead myself into temptation.’ He cleared his throat. “You ladies enjoy. I've still some research on Shamus's hobbies to do." Two movies later, Clint woke and everyone except Nat, had some drinks. They stayed until late evening, Shandi disappeared for a few minutes, then brought some food from the entertainment room, to help tidy up. Loki noticed the booze had gotten to her and swiftly took action. Shandi returned from a second trip and found the drink she'd left behind, replaced by a water bottle. “Seriously Loki? Yur doin’ this again? Where's my drink?” She politely, asked. “Pardon me. I thought you were done and emptied the remaining contents.” “You should've assed.” ‘Assed? Good thing I didn't.’ “Next time, I'll be sure to.” He changed the subject. “I thought we'd visit Carters Bakery tomorrow, but may I take you someplace first?” “Where?” “It's a surprise.” “K.” She slid her hands into her pockets. “So’s this sorta’ like a..mini date kinda thing?” Loki smirked. “Would you like it to be?” Before she could answer, odd squeaky noises and the washing machine lid rattling, caught her attention. She darted down the hall and Loki followed, just in time to see bubbles overflowing from beneath the lid and her slip on soapy water, leaking out the bottom. She landed on her ass, legs spread on the floor and cursed. “Oh fur fuck sakes.” He burst into laughter, helped to her feet and turned the machine off. “Generous with the detergent, were you?” “The model hasn't a soap dispenser. You gotta pour it on yur clothes.” She lifted the lid and saw nothing beyond the bubbles. “Maybe I was too generous. Still, it must be broken if…” She faltered again and as Loki moved to balance her, she slid into him, grasping at the front of his shirt. Loki smirked and gently placed a hand on her back. “Welcome to my personal space.” ‘Oh lord.’ “Sorry.” “It's alright. I did say welcome.” ‘Stay a while.’ Shandis heart raced as she gazed between his lips and eyes, contemplating a kiss, when an uncomfortable sensation stopped her. “My butt feels soapy an’ wet.” He noted her rapid pulse, the sudden softness in her tone and how her hands spread open on his chest. ‘Please, Pet. Feel away.' “Norns, what a predicament you're in.” “Yeah..an’ now I've a melvin.” “And what pray tell, is a melvin darling?” Shandi slowly backed towards the door, shifting her hips and tugging at the back of her shorts. “It's kinda like..where your panties creep waaay too far into places ya wish they didn't.” Loki smirked. “I see.” “Let me go change, come back an’ clean all this up.” She left and he chuckled under his breath. ‘And risk yourself an injury? I think not.’ Magic fixed the problem and when she didn't return, he found her passed out in bed. ‘Might I assume, lack of sleep caught up with you? What a shame.’ She was sprawled out on her back, naked beneath a robe, with one leg folded and part of her hoo ha exposed. ‘I would've enjoyed watching you clean up in this attire.’ He resolved her impending hangover and licked his lips. ‘Time to occupy myself elsewhere.’ ***** Back at the Tower, Tony had just finished tinkering with one of his suits, when his phone rang and he put it on speaker. “Hey Cactus. Everything alright?” “Everything's fine.” “Oh. Where's Shandi?” “Sleeping.” Silence fell and Tony thought it odd. “Cactus? Are we still in the same dimension?” “We are and I've been thinking.” Tony's eyes closed and fists clenched. ‘If you're backing out of this, I'll call you a taxi for the fucking BiFrost.’ “About?” “Events, since my return.” His eyes opened as Pepper came up beside him and placed a finger to her lips. Loki then spoke of regret for the immense responsibility, Odin had placed upon Tony and apologized for all the hardships his presence, had brought each Avenger. He expressed remorse for being the reason Tony feared for Peppers life, the person he loved most and also expressed gratitude for every minute kindness, they'd shown him. Then he asked a question, Tony least expected. “Has requiring me for this job, weighted your concerns?” “It has.” “Remember my given word in the truck, regarding everything?" Asked Loki. "Yes." "Understand, it was genuine and I intend no malice. If Shamus is involved, I will learn of it and help resolve this problem to the best of my ability. Alright?” Tony was utterly astonished. “Uhhh..well, hey. Alright, Cactus and...thanks for all that other stuff too.” “Your welcome Tin Man. Goodnight.” The call ended and Tony looked at Pepper. “Do you think he's gotten into some spooky broccoli?” “And what would you know of it?” She asked. “Nothing..pshh..I..did that just happen? Can you pinch me?” Pepper obliged and he yelped. “Bully!” She rolled her eyes. “I think he meant it.” “You do?” “Yes. He's changed. A lot, recently. Are you coming to bed?” Tony picked up his phone. “You're asking all sexied up in your pajamas? Why wouldn't I?” They were halfway up the winding staircase, when Peppers bottom lip began quivering as tears filled her eyes. Tony stopped her. “Pepper?” She sobbed then and leaned into his chest. “I'm sorry, Tony.” After they sat for a moment, he lifted her chin. “For what?” Her sobs suddenly worsened. “I was worried because you were so worried..about this mission and..sending Loki and then..what else Obadiah might have done...I..feared adding to it.” Tony’s heart hurt, having never seen her so distraught. “Adding to it? Virginia, what's going on? Talk to me. Whatever it is baby, we’ll get through it.” “That's what it is. A..a baby, Tony. I'm pregnant.” At first his mouth fell open, then he beamed, cupped her cheeks and repeatedly kissed her face. “Ha! Tony Stark is gonna be a father! Well holy shitballs!" Then what she’d said struck and he became serious again. This is what you're sorry for?” “Yes. I haven't missed..a day of my new birth control, but it must've failed. I've known for two weeks, but..couldn't bring myself to tell you.” “Oh Virginia, please don't cry?” He sighed and wiped her tears. “Out of concern for my well being, you withheld this? We're in this relationship together and how selfish of ‘me’ for not grasping your distress. You're the other half of my logic, my serenity and often my sanity. By causing your inability to share such a significant moment in our lives, I've obviously taken that for granted. 'I'm' sorry.’ “That's untrue, Tony. You were stressed, you're human. Hearing Loki brought such relief, I just couldn't hold it anymore." “My point is, you shouldn't have felt required to.” He placed a soft kiss to her lips. "Baby, listen. Now that there's to be three of us, it's imperative you ‘never,’ forget this. I don't give a rats ass what I'm stressed about. If you need me, then come to me and I mean it. Always Virginia. Promise?" She nodded. "Promise. I love you, Tony." "And I you. How far along are we anyway?" "Eight weeks." "Whaaat? Who else knows?" "I'd never tell anyone, before you." "Perfect. To keep you safer, we only inform your family and close friends. Then when you get bigger, I'll buy you a porta potty for the limo.” “Tony!” He chuckled and scooped her into his arms. “Two months means a lot of celebrating we're behind on. Let's play catch up. Jarvis, please bring some champagne and whipped cream to our room?” “Whipped cream?” Asked Pepper. “I'm not sayin’ what that's for. You'll have to wait.” “I beg your pardon, Sir?” “I should fire him for not having legs.” Minutes later, Tony laid Pepper on their bed and was about to kiss her. “What is ‘whipped cream,’ Sir?” “Yep. He's definitely fired.” Pepper smiled. “Privacy please, Jarvis?” Tony kissed beneath her lobe. “Now that we're alone, Iron Man has something special just for you.”

Author: lokilover9 Chapter: #18 Rating: Mature Loki began pacing the kitchen floor, continuing to criticize himself, for upsetting Shandi again. ‘Brilliant, God of stupidity. Expand your list of reasons to apologize. Certainly she's more than impressed with you now.’ While he festered in misery, Clint began snoring down the hall. It quickly became so obnoxious, Loki considered putting a pillow over his head when an idea came to mind. Then he went to him, used magic to prevent an impending hangover and smiled. ‘See you bright and early, baby cakes.’ Suddenly a thud occurred from above, followed by a loud curse and he ventured upstairs. ‘Norns, my lovely oaf. I wish not to invade your privacy further, yet must assure you aren't broken.’ Shandi was brushing herself off, as he entered her room invisible. “It would appear imbecilic tendencies prevail in all males, no matter what planet they're from.” She climbed into bed and flopped back onto the pillow. “They can be, at times.” Said Nat. “At times? This one seems to favor such behavior. Less than forty eight hours passes and poof, he oversteps a boundary I specifically asked him not to.” “‘Poof?’” “Yeah Nat, ‘poof.’ Are you not familiar with the word?” “I am, but your cuteness is almost unbearable at the moment. Would you mind toning it down a bit?” “Seriously?” Nat smirked. “I don't believe he intended to and looked very forlorn after you left. Tell me something, vibrator masher. Has anyone else besides Loki, expressed concern about your terrible diet?” Shandi sighed. “You, Steve, Pepper...and Tony.” “Who’s also a Fruit Loops fan, so if ‘he's’ on your case…..” “Point taken, but you don't mess with my stuff.” “You've only just come to bed.” “Never mind.” “Chill out woman, I'm trying to make you laugh.” Nat went quiet for a moment. “Alright, I've another question. You've had gardening experience, what would that peony job involve?” “How is that related to anything?” “Humor me, will you?” “Fine, geez. Digging large holes, implanting wiring for the lighting, positioning plants then replacing the soil. You'd have to measure and cut weed barrier to prevent the decorative rocks from sinking into it..lay and level them...put a border around it...then there's clean up…” The more Shandi spoke, a realization came to her. “Wait, we never visited any garden centers.” “So the supplies came, via magic?” “He must've conjured them in the garage, but there's no using magic outside.” “All that work sounds time consuming. Didn't you say he made breakfast, too?” “Yeah.” “Mm. I'd guess he started around dawn, to finish everything by then. I wonder what his incentive was?” “I had said I liked them, but…” Shandi watched a big smile grow on Nats face. “Wait, you don't think..do you?” “What? That Loki has begun seeing beyond your pretty face, like you’ve always wanted him to?” Loki watched Shandi blush, like one of her deepest secrets were uncovered. ‘Apparently, I ‘am’ an imbecile.’ “How did you even know, Nat?” “I'm highly observant. Has it registered yet, he did all that to impress you?” Shandi reached for the sheets at the beds end. “That's a nice thought, but I'm on a mission and need to remain focused. Let's get some sleep.” Nat rose too and locked eyes with her. “Why are you so reluctant to pursue your interest in Loki?” "Tony." Shandi quietly stated. "He'd hate me.” “He could never hate you, beautiful. Besides, I wouldn't tell him.” “Really?” “That's your decision. I'd only do so, if believing Loki a threat.” “You trust him, Nat?” “I wouldn't be here, otherwise. Look, Loki tricking you was wrong, but I've considered raiding your kitchen with a dumpster bag and hurling it off Tony's landing deck, on several occasions. Would you stop trusting me afterwards?” “No and see your point.” “I know he's irked you on other occasions too, but I think he regrets all that and is trying to make amends. Give him a chance. Maybe you'll be pleased with the results. If not, toss him off that balcony Tony mentioned.” Shandi chuckled and Loki rolled his eyes. ‘Must you remind her of that, Kroshka?’ “Sounds like a plan.” “Alright. I'll help you lift him, then.” “I meant the chance, you nutter.” ‘You won't regret it, Pet.’ Nat suddenly pushed Shandi down and hovered over her. “Good and now it's bribery time. Once you're fucking, I’ll only keep your secret, on one condition.” “Uh oh. Why do I get the feeling you having your way with me is involved?” Loki's brow arched. ‘I beg your pardon?’ “Because it is.” ‘Well, well, ladies, Cupid was right. You ‘are’ Vixens.’ “Filthy slut.” ‘What foul language, darling.’ “Says the one who let my hand freely roam between her legs, twice today.” ‘Did she now?’ A playful struggle then ensued, leaving Shandi in only her panties. ‘Ooooh, I'm liking this.’ “Did you think I missed the subtle way your thighs kept tightening while sitting next to him?” Asked Nat. “No they didn't.” She traced her lips across Shandis cheek, then sucked and slowly nibbled down her neck. “Liar. It happened every time you moved. Were you fantasizing about him touching you? I was.” “Oh lord.” Nats tone became sultry as she toyed with one of Shandis nipples. “The movie played as he pressed your shoulders back, draped a leg over yours, firmly pinning you in place. Magic dissolves your bottoms and he caresses up your inner thighs, his cock stiffening as you squirm. ‘You'll enjoy this.’ He whispers. Your eyes widen when I place a finger to my lips and he smiles. ‘So will our audience.’ Discovering you wet, he teases amidst your lips until his fingers glisten, then slides two, deep into your warmth.” Nat reached into Shandis panties, doing the same, then continued acting out everything she spoke. “You struggle to stay quiet, but he's relentless, pumping and exploring at various speeds, while revealing his desire for you. Can you hear his dirty words, beautiful?” Shandi whimpered when Nat strummed over her g spot. “All that passion and longing...raging like a maddening fever he can't wait to unleash? Your cries become louder, as he coaxes you towards release, the squelching from your arousal, sounding obscene. Fearing you'll wake Clint, you claw at Loki's arm, pleading with him to stop, but are refused. Then I step in, pinning your other leg and wrist, restraining you further. I stroke your cheek as Loki bites along your shoulder and neck until you pant.” With that, Shandi quivered and gripped Nats shoulders. “Oh, please don't? I'm too...ohhhh.” “Too loud? Who gives a shit? Clints done until morning and Loki won't hear a thing with this storm raging. You're going to cum for me, beautiful, now keep listening…” ‘Mmm..yes pet. Obey the lady.’ “Then he stops, holding his hand before your face, forcing you to watch as I suck and lick your essence from his fingers.” ‘Fuck, Kroshka. You'd make a great porn star.’ “When done, we place you on all fours, bind your wrists behind your back and he grips your hips, sinking his erection into your eager pussy. Your back arches, granting deeper access and once he moves, you’re done for. Moaning in ecstasy, being fucked through multiple orgasms.” Shandi responded in breathy moans. “I’ve never..I...” “You've never experienced multiples?” “No.” Nat tisked. “Poor thing. I'll bet Loki will give them to you. Are you aware he's a Dom?” She smiled when Shandi pulsated around her fingers. “Trust me, it's true.” By this point, Loki's mouth watered from Shandis scent and his cock had hardened so painfully, he was indulging it in a gentle massage. ‘Very perceptive Kroshka and multiples she shall receive.’ “I'm so grateful to be giving you pleasure, again. Do you know why? After laying in his bed, you'll never want for another.” Shandis nails dug into Nats skin and she moaned against her neck. Mmmm..return to the fantasy, beautiful. Loki's still fucking you, cum for him.” Shandi lost it, moaning uncontrollably and Loki released his cock, before giving himself away. ‘When I get my hands on you….’ Nat whispered as Shandi caught her breath. “May I do it, beautiful? Taste you how I've wished to, just this once?” As erotic as Loki envisioned that to be, a sudden streak of possessiveness overtook him. ‘Sorry, Kroshka. She's mine and that exceeds the permissible.’ Nat was kissing above Shandis navel when a loud bang and the sound of glass shattering, made them jump. Loki returned to his room, quickly altered his attire to night clothes and knocked, asking if they were alright. Then he darted down the front stairs to see Clint rising from his slumber. “Did you hear something?” “Might you need a hearing aid, Cupid?” As he investigated the house, Shandi and Nat sauntered down in robes and they all gathered at the front stairs. “Nothing's broken inside. I'll check the outer guest room.” Clint offered to help, then slid a hand down his face. “Shit, the truck!” “You didn't put in the garage?” “I forgot!” “No need to panic. We can…” Before Loki could finish, Clint stepped out into the storm and complete darkness. “Move it after I turn on the lights?” He flicked a switch and seconds later, Clint barged back in and slammed the door. “FUCK ME!” “That's Kroshkas job. Is there a problem?” “A large tree branch broke through a back window, dented the door and the interior is getting doused!” “Be thankful it wasn't a bilgesnipe. You'd be walking back to Manhattan.” “Really Cactus? Tony's going to freak.” “He'd be grateful neither of you were in it. Get the keys and come.” They removed the branch together, so the truck could fit in the garage, then Clint reentered, soaked. “Where's Loki?” Asked Shandi. “Using magic to repair everything in the garage.” Nat started upstairs and he and Shandi followed. “Come baby cakes, I'll get you a towel. She was handing it to him when suddenly tossed over his shoulder. “What the...are you looking for an ass whoopin?’ “I'm cold, darlin.’ Come keep me warm?” “Pffft. Do I have a choice?” “Nope, Caveman Clint has claimed his woman.” He winked at Shandi, while closing the spare room door. “Don't wait up for her.” Shandi had just returned to the bottom of the stairs, when Loki came in. Hair damp and tousled, his dirtied white t shirt, clinging to every ripple on his torso, night pants resting just above his hips. She ran her eyes over him without even realizing it. “Clint gone to bed?” He asked. “Hm?” Loki stifled a smirk. “Clint?” “Oh, yes. And the truck?” “Back to its former self.” A moment of silence fell between them, before Shandi offered the towel in her hands. “‘Thought you might need it.” Loki was about to talk, when Clint shouted. “Oh please, darlin! Not the nipple clamps!” It was obvious he was messing with Nat and Loki couldn't resist. “Do you think she’ll pull out the spanking paddle and make him plead for mercy?” Shandi smirked. “I hope not. Goodnight.” “Shandi?” She turned to him on the stairs, his gaze making her knees quiver. “Yes?" “Thank you.” “Sure.” Shandi returned to bed, but sleep eluded her with sounds of Nat quietly moaning in the next room and thoughts of Loki, wet. He'd gone for a shower to relieve himself while imaging Shandi, legs locked around his ass, leaving claw marks on his back as he drove into her, like an insatiable beast. His seed shot beyond the water droplets coating tiles, as he moaned and grunted through a wicked orgasm, until collapsing against the wall with a growl. “Fuuuck. If this continues much longer, I'll go mad.” Afterwards, he ventured into the hall, invisible, and stopped when hearing the sounds from Clints room. ‘Perfect. You're exactly where you belong, Kroshka.’ Then he entered Shandis and almost laughed, finding her covering both ears with pillows. ‘Troubles, Pet?’ She sat up and grumbled. “Great. They're fucking, he's catching zees and once again, I'm headed for a cold shower. If magic is so wondrous, why wasn't he dry before coming back in?” Loki smirked. ‘If that's what ails you, I regret nothing.’ He watched as Shandi lathered her breasts, until another tent rose in his pants. ‘Perhaps I should leave, before lust catapults logic into a portal.’ He read quietly in his room, until silence fell in Shandis, then returned to remove her impending hangover. Now only Nats was left and when she opened Clints door, Loki followed her to the main floor bathroom and swore he heard her crying. Shortly after, she returned to Shandi, carefully climbed in behind her, kissed the back of her head and softly whispered. “You've a challenging road ahead, beautiful. Love isn't easy. Believe me, I know.” She wiped a fallen tear from her cheek. “Regardless, I'll always be here for you.” While she fell asleep, Loki started recalling her past and present behavior in Shandis presence. Nat smiled, laughed and talked more, when normally quiet and elusive. She’d frequently touch Shandi, be it a stroke to the hair, or caress to the arm, paid her compliments, escorted her around town, kindly advised and encouraged, helped her adjust to becoming an Avenger and how protective she always seemed of her. ‘Is it possible you love them both, Kroshka? Rest assured, I'll be watching you much closer until she’s laid with me and what challenges do you speak of? Is there news from Manhattan, I'm oblivious to? I shall eavesdrop on your conversations with Clint, whenever possible. Perhaps being the bosses closest friend, has its benefits.’ By the morning, the storm was raging again, waking Shandi a little early. She smiled finding Nat with her and decided to make some coffee. Halfway down the stairs, it registered Clint and Loki's doors were wide open. ‘They're up?’ She thought. ‘It's awfully quiet.’ After checking every room, she peeked in the garage then returned and yanked the blankets off Nat. “Get up, we've a problem!” Nat opened one eye. “Have you a death wish, woman?” “Dammit, I'm serious! Clints taken the truck and I can't find Loki anywhere!”

Author: lokilover9 Chapter: #17 Rating:Teen Notes: Movies ~ What Women Want with Helen Hunt ~ As Good As It Gets with Jack Nicholson. Song ~ Night And Day by The Temptations Relieved to discover Shandis jacuzzi only half full, the ladies happily eased themselves into it and got comfortable. “Ahhhh. Isn’t this nice, Natskies? It fits two perfectly.” “It does. So why did Loki threaten to spank you?” “Geez your brain pounces to the gutter awfully fast. Were you always this perverted? Maybe you were a man in a past life an’ it filtered over into this one.” “That would explain a lot…well?” “In case I didn’t let him help me outta the car an’ hold hands in public. Said we need to appear in love.” “He’s right. Why hadn’t you agreed to that before?” “‘Cause I didn’t wanna.’” “Mmm. Still in denial of your feelings were you?” Shandi stared at her, uncertain of how to respond. “Okay, look. I’ll admit to findin’ him somewhat..attractive…” “Somewhat?” Asked Nat. “I’ll bet sleeping across the hall from him is causing some wet dreams.” ‘If you only knew.’ “There’s that perv again. Even if it were, it’s not like I could relieve myself.” “Why? I thought your newest vibe was pretty quiet?” “It was. When amongst the livin.’” “A little aggressive, were we?” “No.” Said Shandi. “I played nice. Then outta nowhere, it went tits up. The day we left, too.” “No wonder you appeared agitated that morning.” “Nu uh. That happened ‘cause I forgot where I’d put the damn Hitachi and tore my room apart lookin’ for it. You shoulda seen me. Tossin’ shit from drawers over my shoulder, pullin’ stuff from bins under the bed…dumpin’ baskets outta the closet. You’d think the Tasmanian Devil from..Bugs freakin’ Bunny, had himself a tantrum in there.” Nat laughed. “Hopefully your treasure hunt was successful.” “Sorta. I twied…‘tried’….” “Twied what, Elmer Fud?” Shandi splashed her. “Back off, woman. ‘Tried’..to use it here an’ it’s toast, too.” Nat laughed again. “What the fuck? You broke two vibrators in one week? Who does that, Shandi?” “Oh shuddup. Now I’ll be goin’ manual ‘til our missions over.” “Why bother when Loki’s readily available?“ “An’ what do you ‘spose I do Natskies? March over there durin’ the night an’ wake him with a slap to the ass? ‘Yo Cactus, I could use a stress release. Mind if I play ‘ride the rodeo bull’ on your face?’” “That’s a perfect idea.” “Uh..no.” “Then have him drive you to the local sex shop to buy another.” “Oh, sure. I’d never live that down an’ have ya forgotten the breast pump incident?” “What about it?” “Seriously? The God of Mischief in a store with..vibratin’ dildos, butt plugs an’..bondage supplies? Nope.” Seconds later… “Clint can take him. Then tell Cactus what you want, via snapchat.” ***** Meanwhile, Loki was finding the increasing volume level of Clints music, unnerving and offered him another drink. When discovering the kitchen empty and the second bottle of vodka missing, he returned. “The ladies seem to have mysteriously disappeared.” “You’re kiddin’ me.” Said Clint. “How long ago?” “It’s been at least an hour.” “Oh really? I’ll bet I can guess what they’re up to.” “That being?” Loki asked. In his rather inebriated state, Clint revealed Nat was bisexual and Loki’s brows rose. “Are you suggesting what I think you are?” “I don’t know, but they constantly screw with me insinuating it.” “Do they now? Then I suggest we investigate their whereabouts.” Hoping leaving the music on would give them a better advantage, it almost worked until Cupid malfunctioned. Loki knocked on Shandis door and receiving no answer, slowly turned the knob. Then a hastened shove from Clint, slammed it against the inner wall. “Could you be more conspicuous? I might as well have tied a fog horn to your neck.” “Fuck off Cactus.” Hearing all the noise, Nat and Shandi sunk beneath the bubbles and Loki knocked at the ensuite. “May we come in?” “You may.” Said Shandi. He opened it and again, Clint pushed past him and scoffed at Nat. “Yeah, just as I thought. You’re screwing with me again.” She batted her lashes. “Meaning?” Loki leaned against the doorframe, smirking at Shandi. “Discussing menstrual cramps were you?” Clint continued. “Vixens. I’ll bet you’re both dressed under there and can prove it.” Bending too fast to touch Nat, he slipped and fell in, forcing a large wave of water onto the floor. “Fuck me!” Nat was holding her drink in the air and smiled, when he landed in her lap. “Now?” Loki swung into action, using magic to clean it up, while Clint snapped Nats bra strap. “Was that really necessary?” She asked. “To prove my point, yes!” “Uh, baby cakes…” “And now I’m soaked because…” “But, baby cakes…” “Don’t interrupt, Nat…” “CUPID!” Loki suddenly shouted. “WHAT, CACTUS? WHAT?” He gestured towards Shandi who’d escaped Clints path, but with the water shallower, was concealing her naked tits with her hands. “Shit, sorry darlin.’” Once he left to change, Loki eyed Shandi and Nat. “Have any further pressing issues to discuss, or will you actually be re joining us this time?” “Beat it.” Said Nat. “Before I drop kick your sorry ass.” He smiled, closing the door. “I’ll take that as a yes.” Back in the entertainment room, Clint asked Loki to keep his revelation about Nat, secret. She was partially dressed after all and he regretted embarrassing Shandi. Loki thought it wise to prevent any unwanted visits, from paramedics. The ladies sauntered in with water bottles and Loki eyed Shandis new attire, of form fitting tights and a t shirt. “Care to explain yourselves?” “Shandi craved chocolate and bubbles.” Said Nat. His arms crossed. “This was your idea?” “What of it..brat who skinny dips after midnight?” “Aren’t you cheeky.” Shandi stood her ground. “An’ what of that, too?” They stared each other down and Loki envisioned reddening her ass, when Clint spoke up. “Maybe you guys are taking this husband and wife thing a little too seriously.” They both looked at him. “Hey, just an observation and uhh..sorry about that Shandi.” She smiled. “It’s all good.” “Why don’t we watch a movie? Flip a coin for dibs.” Said Nat. The girls won and decided on ‘What Women Want.’ Everyone settled into the large sectional, with Shandi curled up against an arm next to Loki. She kept repositioning her legs and after the third time, he leaned in and whispered. “Use me.” Smirking at her confused expression, he gently placed one across his thighs. “Better?” “Mm hm. Thanks.” Clint had long fallen asleep, when during a scene near the films end, the actors were slow dancing in the female characters bedroom. The song playing was Night And Day and Nat looked over at Shandi. “There it is again.” Loki glanced between them. “What?” “That dreamy look in her eye every time she watches them dance to that song. She’ll listen to it for days now until the effect wears off.” “You’ve both seen this before?” “Yes, it’s one of her favorites.” Said Nat. “The other is ‘As Good As It Gets.’ “I don’t know what she’s talking about, there’s nothing to see.” Said Shandi. Nat reached for the remote. “You missed out, Cactus. I’ll rewind it.” Shandi gave her the stink eye and he chuckled. “Take heed Kroshka, you’re being warned.” She put it back. “Apparently so.” When it was over, they decided to call it a night and Nat couldn’t wake Clint, so he was left there. Shandi helped take their bags upstairs then returned to the kitchen. Loki entered with some glasses, to find her searching through multiple cupboards. ‘Shit.’ “You’ve rearranged everything. Messed me right up.” She teased. “Clint loves Fruit Loops and I wanted to set him up with my spare box.” “Mustn’t one be awake to eat? Worry about it tomorrow.” He suggested. “I might forget.” After looking in every one, she finally turned to him. “They’re missing along with other items I bought on our first shop.” ***** Nat was just returning up the front stairs, when hearing Shandis unimpressed tone and froze. Loki was visible from where she stood, but he couldn’t see her. ***** “I’ve a confession to make, Shandi. On the day you were ill, I disposed of all the frozen goods you’d purchased out of concern they would cause the same. Your Fruit Loops, Coco Puffs and Lucky Charms, magically disappeared the day after.” He’d hoped light humor might smooth her crinkling brow, but it failed. “Well, I can’t find anything we bought today, either. Where is all that, Loki?” He hesitated. “It never left the store.” Shandi began recalling the day’s events. “That’s why you had me wait in the car…threw everything in the trunk and then put it away before I noticed. You were deceiving me the entire time.” The look of disappointment on her face, made Loki’s stomach knot. “I hadn’t meant…” She interrupted, her tone calm, yet firm. “Please don’t? I thought from our conversation about subjecting me to things without my knowledge Loki, you fully understood it’s not okay. Yet even as we had it, you were concealing things. Then you did the same, when mentioning my diet earlier. I said I’d consider your help after you stated, ‘It’s up to you.’ You could’ve confessed then what I’d chosen wasn’t purchased.” A heavy sigh escaped her. “Maybe to you, they’re simply unhealthy choices about food. The point is, they’re ‘my’ choices. One’s only ‘I've’ the place to make, no matter what they regard.” Loki was internalizing every word, knowing it pointless to defend himself. Regardless the nature of his intentions, she was right. He’d purposely deceived her and tried to conceal it, again. Shandi stopped at the backstairs and looked to him. “I wish you wouldn’t have done this. I liked trusting you. Goodnight.” With that, she was gone and Loki silently berated himself. ‘Brilliant you idiot. Fucking brilliant.’ Seconds after Shandi arrived in her room, Nat entered and quietly closed the door. “Clints lost without his phone in the morning, thought I’d take it to him. You alright?” “Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?” “Don’t be angry, but I kind of eavesdropped on the way back. Heard everything.” “What, that?” Shandi began searching for pajamas. “It was nothing.” She rammed the drawer back in with her hip. “Nothing at all.” “Obviously.” As they readied for bed, Nat watched her become increasingly frustrated. After dropping the toothpaste lid, she grumbled curses, searching for it behind the toilet, slammed the doors beneath the bathroom sink, banged the lid shut on the hamper after shoving her clothes into it, then turned towards the bed, tripped over the Hitachi bag and toppled onto the floor. “Fuck!” Nat was already in bed and laughed. “Oh, beautiful. You’ve got it bad.”

Le sigh... I miss it very much, when my kids were little too. Think about it every day. All the cuddles, hugs and kisses. It filled my heart with a joy, indescribable. I'd give anything to go back. Despite there being moments when I wanted to dunk my youngest's head in the toilet. I still do at times, but he's four feet taller and can outrun me. Now I just threaten to clean it with his toothbrush. 😆

Title: Irked Author: lokilover9 Chapter: #16 Rating: Mature After leaving the shop and discussing their interaction with the ladies, Loki silently revisited Shandis comment from the park. ‘Whenever possible, I avoided you.’ It struck him like an unforeseen, blow to the stomach he'd caused her such distress and vowed it mandatory to apologize for. Wanting the right moment and words, time would allow him to plan. Shandi had taken a cool shower, then suggested they call Tony while Loki poured himself a triple whiskey. The strength of Midgardian alcohol was nothing compared to Asgards and took several bottles to have any effect. “Soon, perhaps. Care for a drink?” He asked. “You don't think he'd wanna know everything, ASAP?” “I should start dinner first.” “Why? It's only just three.” Loki began gathering some salad ingredients and placing them on the kitchen island. “Perhaps he already knows.” “You called him without me?” She asked. “BOO!” Shandi nearly jumped out of her skin and spun around. “HOLY SH..Clint? Hey guys! What are you doing here?” Nat hugged her. “Hi beautiful. Tony knows all and is thrilled.” “He is.” Affirmed Loki. ...“Cactus, you tell that Doll, she's awesome.”... “Then he belched loudly into the phone and Pepper took it away from him again.” Shandi chuckled. “Oh no.” “Oh yes. At least this time he didn't threaten to suit up on her to retrieve it, but he seems heavily into the drink again.” “He what?” Clint amusedly, asked. Loki nodded. “I kid you, not. There's still no news from S.H.I.E.L.D about Shamus vending at the fair yet, either.” “Wait.” Said Shandi. “‘Tony’ called ‘you?’” “Yes, to warn of heavy rains and high winds, developing overnight here and remaining throughout tomorrow.” “So we've the day off.” Said Nat. “And now that we're friends, Cactus invited us to be bunkies for the night. We already received a tour of the main floor, might I have one of the upper?” Shandi enthusiastically, lead her up the back stairs. “Wait ‘till you see my jacuzzi tub, it's huuuge.” Clint looked at Loki. “That must've put Tony in the dog house.” After the tour, Shandi and Nat, collected some bed linen and headed to the guest room. “I wonder if Tony’s alright? I know he likes to indulge at times, but twice in one week?” Nat knew from the beginning, this mission weighed heavily on Tony’s mind. Seriously enraged after learning his Tasers still existed, he’d kept that well concealed from Shandi. This being her first big mission, why instill a sense of worry she’d disappoint were it unsuccessful? Being forced to use Loki as her partner, only added to his plight. As a result, he’d secretly consulted with Nat, prior to delegating everyone's roles. To help Shandi feel more valued as a new team member, she'd be placed as Elizabeth, then presented the option to switch. When she didn't bite, Tony panicked and ordered reports on Loki's behavior from Nat, whenever possible. Yet Kroshka had a secret all her own. A gut feeling, she'd never revealed to anyone. “He's probably just pissed at S.H.I.E.L.D.” She passively, remarked. The two began making up the bed. “You're quiet, beautiful.” “I'm fine.” “You sure? Nothing's gone awry between you and Cactus, has it?” Shandi sighed. “No, which presently has me perplexed.” “About?” “If I say, I worry you might think I'm naively letting my guard down.” Nat gestured for them to sit. “Your past doesn't permit you to let your guard down easily about anything, I know that. What are you referring to?” “The significant difference in Loki's behavior. He's gone from being a gargantuan dick towards me at the Tower, to being the opposite and it's..well, weird.” “Considering who you're referencing, define ‘weird.’” Shandi revealed everything from the food poisoning incident, to the peonies, including their discussion about the mission and her safety, positively confirming Nats gut feeling. These two stole each other's hearts, the moment they first met and had chemistry beyond comprehension. Yet amusingly, Shandi appeared intimidated by Loki's sex appeal. Being well educated in the art of seduction, Nat recognized a fellow dominant and felt Shandi could use another lesson in overcoming her shyness. Especially after receiving an A+, for the first. “I keep waiting for some hidden catch to appear.” Said Shandi. “One I'm going to feel like an idiot, not foreseeing.” “You worry too much.” Said Nat. “Personally, I think you should just fuck him already.” “Scuuuse??? I said hidden catch, not snatch, woman. Where did that come from?” “I'm your best friend, dummy. Do you think I'm blind?” Shandi walked to the nearby dresser and checked her hair. “I don't know what you're talking about.” Nat chuckled on approach and stared at her from behind. “You can ditch the facade, I know you want him. Why don't you live a little, beautiful?” “Really? I'm on a mission trying to discover if a Federal Court judge is selling dangerous weapons while pregnant by an Alien God, whose abilities far exceed the unusual. I'd say that's living a little.” “All the more reason for a stress release.” “Wouldn't that only complicate things? And what makes you think I want him?” Nat smiled slyly, her tone becoming sultry and alluring. “Instinct and how complicated could it be? Tall, dark and handsome. Always smells amazing. Oozes charisma and sensuality from every pore.” Holding Shandis gaze, Nat eased a hand up her inner thigh. “Remember what I taught you that night alone in my apartment, after drinking too much vodka?” Shandi nodded and bit her bottom lip when Nat moved beyond her panties, penetrating the warmth of her folds. “And what about this?” “Mm hm.” She began drawing languid circles over Shandis clit, watching as her eyes become hooded. “You're liking this aren't you, beautiful.” It was more a statement than a question and when Shandi expelled a soft moan, Nat didn't need an answer. “Shhhh, listen. Close your eyes and think of everything we did, but instead of me, picture Loki.” Her fingers moved faster and Shandis head fell back against her shoulder. “Music blaring in the background as you tease him with an intimate lap dance, your exposed flesh close enough to taste, yet he's forbidden to touch. Watching the alluring, seductive way you move, his cock begins hardening, aching to…” Nat stopped suddenly, retrieved her fingers and backed away, when hearing Clint call out. “Shit.” Shandi whispered, straightening herself. “Damn tease! I need fresh panties.” Nat whispered back. “I need a vibrator, but they'll both have to wait.” “You’re bad.” “Damn right. Really though woman, you need to let loose.” She snorted at Shandis arched brow, just as Clint knocked on the door. “Hello? We poured you girls drinks and Loki's making spaghetti and meatballs.” He opened it and eyed them, suspiciously. “One of these days I'm going to catch you two.” Shandi smirked and stepped into the hall. “Doing what?” Asked Nat, tucking her moist fingers into a pocket. “We were making your bed.” “Mine? But It's a single.” She kissed him. “I know baby cakes, but you like sucking the blinds off the windows after too much vodka. Remember?” “Then where are you sleeping?” Taking Shandis hand, Nat winked at him and started down the stairs. “With my woman.” “I'll spy on you!” He shouted. “I brought the spanking paddle, you've been warned!” Nat replied. They all reached the bottom to see Loki, curiously staring amidst rolling a meatball. “What the hell did I miss?” Clint took a big gulp of his drink. “Nothing in particular, they're just evil.” Loki noticed Shandis mischievous smirk and pointed a finger at her. “I knew you were far from innocent.” A hand went to her hip. “And how did you come to that conclusion? Was it me you heard threatening to give someone a spanking? Nooo.” “That has nothing to with it. I threatened to give you a spanking and I'm obscenely far from innocent.” Shandis face went scarlet and Nat coughed on her drink. “Fess up, beautiful. What the hell did ‘I’ miss?” “Nothing, he's kidding.” Loki snickered. “That's what you think.” “I can loan you the paddle.” Nat casually stated. “It's in my bag at the front door.” Shandi turned to Clint. “Care to ditch these bitches and set up some music for the night?” “I like the way you think darlin,’ lead the way.” Nat followed and after visiting the washroom, returned to help Loki. They'd rolled a couple of meatballs in silence, when she locked eyes with him. “You care about her, don't you.” “I suppose.” Loki casually replied. “We seem to be working well, together.” “Good to hear, but I think it's more than that.” “Oh? I think you speculate, Kroshka.” She smirked, sipping her vodka. “Liar. I've known for some time now.” Loki went quiet, struggling to conceal bewilderment at how the hell, she'd figured him out. “I see. ‘If’ your speculation were true, I gather like Tony, you intend to demand I treat her with respect and remind me she is not here for my ‘entertainment?’” “No, I don't believe I need to.” Suspecting he was being tested, Loki returned the gesture. “What if I were to act upon your ‘speculation?’ Are you insinuating, threatening to inform him?” “Only if you mistreated her.” “Natasha, please don't play me for a fool?” He kindly asked. “I know he's fond of her and you both think me vile.” Nat wasn't surprised Loki harbored such thoughts. He hadn't exactly been welcomed back, nor regarded with much decency, since. “I'll admit I once did, but you've changed quite a bit since returning. As for Tony, try to imagine being in his position. ‘Thee Allfather,’ drops in from outer space, requesting he shack you up for a chance at penance? He was intimidated, to say the least.” Loki seethed at the thought of Odin negotiating his return and responded, sharply. “Which appeased Odin's ego, I'm sure. Intimidation is a favorite past time.” From bits of conversations Nat had overheard between Loki and Thor after he'd return from visiting Asgard, anger, bitterness and resentment seemed deeply ingrained into the trickster. She'd come to suspect, Odin was the main reason why and the icy look in Loki's eyes, confirmed it. Hoping to refocus his thoughts, she lightly clinked their glasses together. “Hey, I didn't intend for this conversation to be offensive. This hasn't been easy for Tony either and this thing with Obadiah...” She sighed, heavily. “He's sick with worry over what else from Stark Industries that prick may have divulged.” Loki understood Starks predicament, more than letting on. Many were outraged by his return, forcing the Avengers to endure harsh local and international criticisms. Tony took the brunt of it, including some death threats and since, assigned Pepper, personal security. Observing how he adored her, treated coworkers like family and continued a valiant effort to help people, Loki came to respect him. “Tony's alright and I’m hoping our mission resolves some of his plight.” Nats smile returned. “That's good to hear too and regarding Shandi, you're right. He's very fond of her, in a big brother kind of way. Even Pepper’s never seen him take someone beneath his wing so much.” “Had he felt a need to?” Loki asked. Nat cautioned her reply. “Before I answer, can you guarantee our conversation will never leave this room?” “You have my word.” “He did and thought the world of her from the start. She tends to have that effect on people.” Nat went momentarily quiet. “Shandi hasn't had an easy life. Not by any means and that's all I'll say.” “Fair enough. Why are you telling me all this, Kroshka?” “Because her heart is more..beautiful, than any I've ever encountered. Please don't forget that?” Loki was grateful Nat confided in him. This was the longest conversation they’d ever engaged in and it wasn't like the little Russian to show sentiment. “I agree and again, you have my word.” Hearing footsteps, they ceased talking and Shandi entered, sipping her drink. “You guys done yet? Clint kinda lost himself in Mr. Prestons vinyl album collection.” Nat shot Loki a quick wink. “I should rescue him then. As a collector, he could be there for hours. The chef could use more help though, right?” “I could, indeed.” Ten minutes later, he was teasing Shandi about her meatball shaping abilities. “You cannot convince me those deformed orbs are edible.” “They appear so to me.” “Come now. I've seen five year olds of this realm, roll better snowballs.” “Excuse me? I'm doing my best.” She tossed one onto the baking sheet and it partially collapsed. “That's your best? It's a good thing both of us aren't culinarily challenged. We could starve.” “Pfft, well then. Take it away, oh master of meatballs. I’ll just pour another drink and watch.” “Eh he he he, perhaps I could teach you?” He stepped in behind her. “May I?” Shandi nodded and Loki positioned himself just close enough for warmth to emanate between them. “You're going too fast. Relax, hm?” “I’m relaxed. What makes you think I'm not?” He smirked at the subtle pulse increase in her neck. “Nothing in particular.” Finding her hands rigid, he gently tapped them. “Shandi.” “Hm?” “Open a bit?” She did a little too much and dropped the chunk of beef back into the bowl. “I hate to be the bearer of bad news darling, but you need to hold the meat in order to shape it.” ‘Mind out of the gutter Shandi, mind out of the gutter.’ “You said relax, so I relaxed.” “I assumed you already were. Am I making you nervous?” “What? No.” She scooped up the meat again. “There, see?” ‘You'll need to be a much better liar than that Pet, if our mission is to succeed.’ “Follow my lead then, hm?” Molding her hands into position, he guided them into a rhythmic, circular, motion, until a sphere began forming. Then he let go and she deformed it again. “You must require an entire winter to make a snowman.” “Do not...only part of it. I start right after Christmas and it's usually done by the end of January.” They chuckled together and Loki took her hands again. “Perhaps you’ll need extra lessons in sphere shaping.” “Then ‘you'll’ need a lot of patience.” “And I've plenty.” Luckily this was true as his heavenly scent and close proximity, were seriously messing with Shandis focus. Not to mention, his gorgeous hands. Capable of such strength, she was awed they could maneuver, so gently. Imagining what those dexterous fingers were capable of, wasn't helping either, nor was the sound of his voice. “That's it, keep going. Just enough pressure to shape it, without losing grip.” ‘Oh lord.’ Dinner took longer than expected, but no one minded and afterwards, the four decided to play darts. A few games in, Clint started losing and blaming it on Loki. “Are you fucking with me?” “I assure you, I am not.” His turn came again and this time he missed, completely. “Ya rigged the fucking thing, didn't ya?” “Let me guess.” Teased Loki. “You've shot arrows into people's asses or hats perhaps, after too much vodka?” “Okay, now you're being a dick.” Loki patted his shoulder. “Hush now baby cakes and I'll bake you a coconut cake.” The music became louder and when Clint got into a detailed discussion with Loki about varied Midgardian types, Nat and Shandi ventured to the kitchen, for refills. “Clint should keep him busy for a while, ya think?” “I suppose. Why do you ask, beautiful?” “Stay here, I've an idea.” She returned minutes later. “What are you up to, woman?” Shandi whispered. “I kinda feel like..havin’ a swim, but you know, the kind with bubbles?” Nat smiled, realizing she was drunk. “Are you running water up there?” “Yep, on low, but wait. Give things a wee minute.” It wasn't even that long, before Loki appeared in the hall and Shandi put a finger to her lips. He entered the kitchen and started pouring another drink. “Planning to rejoin us, ladies?” “Soon.” Said Shandi, resting her chin in her palm. “We're kinda havin’ a in depth conversation about..menstrual cramps.” “Ahh. Very well, I shall leave you to it.” Shandi waited until he vanished into the entertainment room, then gestured towards the back stairs. “You carry the drinkies, I got the bottle.” Nat obliged. “How did you time that so perfectly?” “I saw him almost empty before we left and took a chance. Hurry, before I flood me ensuite.” “I applaud your sneakiness.” Shandi stopped at the top stair and turned, almost knocking their drinks asunder. “Whyyy..thank you. Guess I'm gettin’ better at it. We’ve vanilla scented bubbles by the way and I found ya a big fluffy towel, too.” Her finger went to her lip again. “Oh and shhh, I've an orange chocolate stash we can enjoy some of too.” “How sweet of you beautiful, but weren't we hurrying?” Shandi glanced down the hall. “Uh oh.”

Irked

Title: Irked Author: lokilover9 Chapter: #15 Rating: Teen Original Imagine: Imagine due to having highly effective telekinesis, Tony Stark seeks you out and hires you. Loki’s been forced to live there by Odin and help on missions when needed, making penance to Midgardians. Prior to moving into the Tower, you learn of his superior and arrogant attitude and upon being introduced, immediately dislike him. Particularly because he looks at you like your his next meal. While continuing to grocery shop, Loki was piling things into their cart so quickly, he was able to devise a plan. Each time Shandi tossed in something unhealthy, he'd sneak it out, replacing it with an alternative. To her, it simply appeared he'd shuffled things about. Then once in line, he suggested she wait in the car, while he took care of the rest. “I can stay and help.” She replied. “Wouldn't you rather relax in the air conditioned car?” “Its air conditioned in here too, I don't mind.” The moment the person ahead finished up, Loki ushered her past the cashier. “We've a lot of meat, darling. The cooler the car, the better.” “It's not ‘that’ long of a drive.” "Elizabeth." His penetrating gaze and kind, yet insistent tone, left no room for further discussion. “Okay, I'm going. Sheesh.” Loki came out shortly after, stuffed all the bags into the trunk and they started back to the house. “What was that about?” She asked. “I thought you'd prefer being off your feet while making the car cooler.” “And for the sake of all that meat?” “Exactly.” Her brow crinkled. “Then why is everything in the trunk?” “Well...what's your point, Lizzy? Is there an actual point to all this?” Once arriving, she went to use the washroom and when done, Loki was waiting at the door. “Where's all the food?” She asked. “I put it away already.” “That fast?” He smiled. “Didn't I say magic was a wondrous thing?” On the return ride, they discussed a few things. “Alice must be using the ovens of a local Bakery to prepare for the fair.” Said Loki. “It makes sense. One home oven could never prepare enough baked goods for a large, three day event.” Shandi couldn't help but find his comment rather amusing and it showed on her face. “Still finding it difficult to comprehend a prince of Asgard, cooks?” “Yep and bakes.” “Of which I'm pleased you're no longer concerned to eat. You still haven't revealed what all the fuss was about?” Shandi glanced out the window. “I'm not discussing that with you Loki.” He stifled a smirk. “As you wish, but I'm not the only Alien Prince that does. Upon returning here, I was a buffoon in the kitchen. Thor took me shopping and once showing me some basics of cooking, left me to myself. After the appliances and I had some..disagreements, which Tony took delight in critiquing following his initial panic, I resorted to a diet similar to yours.” “Why was he panicked?” “He was passing by my apartment one morning at the exact moment I set something ablaze in the kitchen, heard the fire alarm and demanded entrance. Fortunately, magic saved the Tower from a visit by the fire department, as I hadn't learned how to use the extinguisher yet.” Her brows rose. “What happened with the appliances?” Loki then mocked Tony's voice. “So, tell me Cactus. How does one who can teleport and make clones of himself, fuck up two toaster ovens, then a top of the line microwave, a high end coffee maker and today, simultaneously set two pans of bacon and omelet on fire?” She chuckled. “You did all that?” “I did. Had he have had some patience, I might've dressed before answering, too.” “Did you answer the door in your underwear?” “I'm certain he would have preferred that.” Shandis mouth fell open and Loki smirked. “I told you the day we arrived here, I sleep naked.” “But you were cooking.” “I had been wearing a robe, but overheated and removed it.” She chuckled, again. “Poor Tony. What did he say?” “He was banging away as I casually approached, ignoring his flare for dramatics.”... “What the hell's going on in there Cactus? Open the...MOTHER OF GOD!!! HAVE YOU NO SCRUPLES?” That did it. Between envisioning Tony's expression and the way Loki mocked his mannerisms, Shandi was in stitches. “What happened then?” “He scurried past me, inspecting things while I sauntered towards my robe and nonchalantly re adorned it. Since then, he has Jarvis inform me when he's coming to assure I'm ‘decent.’” “I fully believe that. Didn't you read any of the instructions for those appliances, or extinguisher?” “Pshh, whatever for? I came from an advanced realm, a God no less. Certainly without aid, I wouldn't encounter difficulty operating Midgardian gadgets.” “Oh. Is that why you put too much liquid into the blender at the staff kitchen, then?” Loki recalled the incident. “I hadn't put the lid on tight enough, was all.” “Well, there's always duct tape if Mr. Preston has one you’d like to use.” She cackled at his eyes rolling. “So, you were saying about your diet?” “It was atrocious, much like yours.” “No it isn't.” “Shandi, as a God, I've the strength no human could fathom and as you know, a large appetite. The amount of processed foods I was consuming, with all their chemicals, was negatively affecting ‘my’ energy levels. I can't imagine how it's affecting you.” “I guess having eaten like a Prince, you wouldn't be used to such things. Most average people, are.” “And in the process, you're subjecting yourself to a slow poisoning.” ‘Man.’ She thought. ‘He gets weirder by the hour.’ “Loki, what's with the big interest in my diet all of a sudden?” “Alright.” He coolly replied. “Seeing you so ill the other day, I was reminded of my own unpleasant plight. If you wish, perhaps I can help you prevent that from reoccurring. It's up to you.” Shandi was baffled by his recent behavior and the troublesome wish it were sincere. More than she cared to admit. She recalled Nat revealing his actions towards the family of a boy killed by the Chitauri, along with Thor and Steve's conversation about how upset he was after an incident with a little girl in a restaurant. Was there a warmer side of himself, purposely kept concealed? Why? Another thought secretly pondered came to mind. One she'd soon get an opportunity to ask. "Thank you for your concern.” She kindly replied. “I'll consider it, okay? I was thinking about Laura being so outspoken. If we keep interacting with her, she may inadvertently teach us more about the family.” Loki noted how quickly the subject was changed and let it go. “Possibly, but regarding Alice. If Nat doesn't report seeing her at Beth's shop today and we don't during lunch hours at the park, I think it unwise to visit that Bakery just yet. It would imply traipsing around town the entire day with a car full of food and one who's quite pregnant. Not a likely scenario.” “True." Shandi replied. "Alice may not be inclined to socialize either, being so busy.” “She may. According to Laura, we made an impression. If we miss her at both places today and tomorrow, then we’ll go. It's still another window of opportunity, we hadn't known existed.” By the time they re entered town, it was close to lunch and Loki stopped at a small Deli, before heading to the park. Shandi claimed not to be hungry and waited in the car. Upon returning, he plunked a medium sized bag and two large drinks into her lap. “We may be there a while, so I bought you a veggie Pita and frozen fruit, smoothie.” Shandi eyed everything. 'Yep. Definitely getting stranger by the hour.’ After seeking out the same shaded bench as before, they ate while Loki kept a close eye out from behind dark shades. People slowly began entering the park, but there was no sign of the ladies. In case they did appear, he advised Shandi to start enacting the exercises he'd thought of. The idea was, he'd remain on the bench, or follow her from a short distance, while she walked nervously, throughout the park. Should Alice witness this, it would hopefully open an opportunity to explain Shandis actions. He suggested she start by buying more birdseed and after briefly chatting with the kid who sells it, she returned. “This town gets smaller all the time. His name is Dylan and guess who his grandmother is?” “Who?” Loki asked. “Mrs. Carter. He mentioned witnessing our interaction with Beth and Alice and you were right. The two use her ovens every year for the fair.” “How did you learn that?” “I mentioned they were nice and hoped to see them around again. Then he recommended Beth's shop and said Alice is usually at the Bakery every day, from now until the fair.” “How kind of him.” Loki approvingly remarked. After a brief walk, Shandi began feeding the birds and kept glancing in his direction. “Something on your mind, oh pot bellied one?” “Very funny, Clifford. I was thinking of how I'm still trying to comprehend, that humans aren't alone in the universe.” “That was unexpected, yet I imagine most of your people feel the same. Did 'you' think you were?” He politely asked. “I hadn't any definite proof otherwise, until you and Thor. The universe is a massive place though and I've always considered it naive, assuming ourselves it's only tenants.” “And to your benefit, you're not." The compliment overshadowed a building knot in her stomach of what response the next question may elicit. ‘It's only going to keep bugging you. Dammit girl, where's your gonads? Just ask him!’ "As a race, do you guys think us inferior?” Loki froze, concealing a scrutinizing gaze behind his glasses. Unable to escape the weight of it, Shandi returned to the birds. ‘Great. Of all times to lack the ability to teleport.’ Loki wondered if this related to his previous actions against her realm. “You're certainly behind in many aspects, but no. Why would you ask such a thing, Shandi?” It wasn't really Thor's opinion she’d grown concerned about, but including him had made the question easier to ask. Confident she could never care for one who thought himself above her own kind, the hope was to gain an inkling into Lokis true opinion, by catching him off guard. The reasons behind not asking them both sooner, were true. “Curiosity. I would've felt awkward asking Thor.” 'Interesting.' He thought. “Why? I thought you liked him.” “I do. He's kind, gentlemanly and funny, but I hardly see him unless it's work related. I haven't had a chance to really ‘talk’ with him.” Loki recalled the times she'd remained in her apartment, after seeing him about the Tower. "Between us both, who have you seen around more?” “Does it matter?” “I wouldn't ask, if it didn't.” “Okay, you.” She replied. “At any point until now, had you wanted to ask me such things?” She shifted awkwardly, in her seat. “Look, why don't we forget it Loki? I hadn't meant for my question to make you feel uncomfortable.” How she could even consider his feelings about anything, remained astounding to him. “You didn't. It surprised me, was all. Had you ever wanted to?" He politely, persisted. “Yes, but...” 'Damn.' She suddenly thought. 'I shouldn't have started this.' Loki asked again. "But what Shandi, I'd really like to know?” "Whenever possible, I avoided you.” And Loki thought he felt like a dick, before. She'd really wished to talk to him and he'd senselessly, pushed her away. “Shandi, I…” His sentence was interrupted by a text. “We're up Lizzy. Alice just parked and took food into Beth's shop.” All they discussed on route, was encountering Nat and Clint and upon entering, were greeted by an unsuspecting Beth, pricing items with her mouth half full. “Oh, hello. Please excuse me, it's normally quiet this time of day and I was indulging. How are you?” “Good thanks.” Said Shandi. “Don't let us stop you.” Beth smiled. “Goodness, if you sampled what I am, you'd understand. Wait, do you like strawberries?” Shandi was about to respond, when Loki did. “She loves them. Blueberries, even more.” Her brow arched. “Then you must try something.” Beth headed for the back room and moments later, returned holding open a plastic container. Inside were mini strawberry and blueberry tarts. The fruit sat amidst a rich, creamy custard with just the right sweetness and the pastry, practically melted in their mouths. “Those are delicious.” They stated. Alice spoke up from the doorway. “Why, thank you.” After greeting each other with pleasantries, she continued. “Those are only a sample of what will be at the fair. You really must come.” Shandi lowered her eyes and Loki stroked her hair. “We’re thinking about it, aren't we Lizzy?” She nodded and uncertain what to make of their interaction, Beth retreated. “Very good. Let me know if you need any help.” She'd almost reached Alice when Shandi whispered. “I'm sorry.” “Lizzy, you've nothing to be sorry for.” Beth then raised her brows at Alice when seeing Nat notice Shandi, through the shop window. Seconds later, she entered and Clint remained near the door. Loki took a double take, then protective stance, towards Shandi and Nat froze, about five feet away. “I won't come any closer. I saw you and...” Her shoulders slumped as Loki and Shandi, remained stoic. “We've an only daughter. She lives far away and is about to have a baby and…” “Ella.” Clint, kindly interrupted. Nat sighed. "It's no excuse and I shouldn't have touched you.” She stretched out her arm, holding a small gift bag towards Shandi. “This is for your baby. I hope you like it and I'm sorry.” Loki and Shandis expressions softened as she slowly took the bag. “Thank you.” Nat nodded, then headed towards Clint and once outside, they hugged. Shandi pulled a small teddy bear from the bag, that played a lullaby and glanced up at Loki. “I know what your thinking, darling. You don't need to consult me, go on.” When Shandi went outside, he turned to see Beth and Alice with their eyes glossed over and winked. “It's good to see her make a friend. We haven't any here.” Moments later, she re entered. “I gather that went well?” He asked. Shandi smiled. “It did. They're vacationing here for the summer at a nearby cottage and suggested we meet for drinks.” “Sounds like a plan. Did they say when?” "No, but I got her number." “Perfect, yet you're prohibited." He teased. "If you recall, one too many is how we ended up in this predicament in the first place?” Shandi looked to see the ladies, smirking. “How thoughtful of you to remind me, Clifford.” ‘Brat.’ She thought. Alice chuckled. “I've seven children, four of whom were conceived under the same circumstances.” “Speaking of.” Said Loki. “We met your daughters at the grocery store, earlier. Laura, our first day in town. Both are lovely.” The ladies thanked him. “We understand you met one who isn't so lovely, as well.” Beth commented. “According to Laura, that's correct.” Said Loki. "Only Laura?" ‘Shit woman, what's wrong with you?' Loki almost cackled. “She was entertaining to say the least, darling. Perhaps you'd like a basket to shop with?” "Yes, please." After retrieving one, he feigned interest in a crib display, hoping the three would talk more. It worked and once the ladies stopped within a respectable distance of Shandi, he heard their whispers, perfectly. “Laura said Tanya failed at flirting with your husband?” Asked Beth. Shandi nodded. “Good, but take heed." Said Alice. "The first opportunity that arises, she 'will' try again.” Being such strangers, Shandi found their openness amusing, yet wanted to learn more about this woman. "Even though…” Beth slowly shook her head. “She doesn't care if your married, pregnant, or both, so keep him close.” “Clifford's a good man. He doesn't get much time away from me.” Shandi solemnly, stated. “Trust us.” Said Alice. “Whatever his reasons, consider them a blessing. Tanya is well known for her 'slutty' tactics and has gotten to the best of them.” She smiled at Shandis widened eyes. “Bet you never expected to hear that from an old lady.” Beth offered her another tart. “At least you know one to avoid, if you're looking to make friends in this town.” “I am.” Shandi replied. “And we'll ‘both’ be avoiding her.” Loki smirked at the sarcasm in her tone. “Good." Said Alice. “What about making friends with a couple of seniors? "We're busy preparing for the fair right now, but once it's over, you're welcome to join us for tea. Or coffee, which ever you prefer.” Beth gave her a look. "If you like referring to yourself as ancient, be my guest. I, for one, am still a spring chicken." Alice sighed. "Whose days of laying eggs, have long ceased." Shandi chuckled at their teasing banter, while startled by her luck and gave Alice her number. “I look forward to that very much." Then she noticed Loki inspecting different boxes of mobiles. "I'd best get over there, before he gets too curious.” “Would he open something again?” Asked Beth. “I wouldn't put it past him, if he liked it enough.” ‘I resent that.’ Thought Loki. Seeing her approach, he purposely held up a model with what appeared to have miniature, hairy Teletubbies on it. “You can put that back now, Clifford.” He tisked. "Party pooper.”

Irked

Title: Irked Author lokilover9 Chapter 14 Rating: Teen Having learned some of what Shandis sexual interests were through his spell, of course Loki was thrilled they matched his own. Yet in every dream, he'd left her wanting. That wasn't the intention this time, but the usual approach, certainly left him doubting the power of that spell. ~~~~~ Unable to sleep, Shandi decided to investigate what the Library had to offer. Loki seemed to enjoy it and upon entering, his natural scent of light musk and otherworldly forests had lingered, luring her into remaining. Once choosing a book, she sat in an English high back, near the fireplace and lifted her arms above her head, indulging in a good stretch. Then from nowhere, binds of leather began curling around her wrists and a thick, braided strip of it, connected them inches apart. Two, much thinner, sprouted from their centers, wrapped comfortably around her palms and continued on, above and behind the chair. Realizing it was Loki, she sighed and rolled her eyes. “Come out, come out, wherever you are.” He sauntered into sight from a dark corner, with his hands behind his back. “Oooh, I love a good game of hide and seek darling, but you're a little tied up at the moment.” “Hilarious.” She dryly commented. ‘Strange.’ He thought. “Angry at me for any particular reason?” “Why bother explaining, Loki. Just do whatever it is you intend to and maybe if I'm not frustrated enough, I’ll return to my book.” Well this was an unexpected development. “And what exactly do you think that will entail?” He curiously asked. “A bout of teasing for your amusement.” She replied. “What else?” Confused by her response, he studied her for a moment. Could this be her subconscious speaking, regarding the previous dreams? If so, her mind could be much stronger than believed and he considered his next actions and words, very carefully. “I thought you enjoyed being my consensual sub?” His eyes filled with mischief and hunger and she blushed beneath his gaze. “I..I do, but…maybe I just don't feel like being tied up and teased ‘right now.’” “Very well.” He kindly replied. “Then you won't be.” Holding her forearms until the binds vanished, he lowered them into her lap with a cheeky smirk. “You now have permission to return to your book.” “Permission?” She asked. He gently kissed her lips. “That's right. As your Dom, I have granted it.” Shandi found her voice again as he reached the door. “Loki?” “Hm?” “What if..I have another request?” The look on his face, almost melted off her panties. “I'm all ears.” Turned out, he was all mouth too. A couple of times, Shandi wondered where she ended and his face began, but that didn't last long. Two wicked orgasms later and she was a sweaty, breathless, disheveled mess, with her ass hanging half off the chair. Loki stared up at her, amused. “How is it I do all the work and you look to have been in a wrestling match of sorts?” He scooped her into his arms and headed for the door. “Where are we going?” She asked. “A more comfortable place to give you pleasure.” “Heaven help me.” He laid her on the bed and whispered huskily into her ear. “You're mine, Pet. Nothing will save you from me ever again.” ~~~~~ Shandi awoke as exactly that, a sweaty mess with her heart racing. She sat up on the beds edge, turned on the lamp and brushed aside her hair. Loki smirked at her hazy eyed expression, then followed her gaze to a small, open, duffle bag on the floor. She'd tossed the ‘broken’ Hitachi into it the day prior and her comment almost made him laugh and give his presence away. “Stupid Midgardian gadget. I oughtta behead you.” ‘Perhaps it's wise we didn't purchase a sharpener for those axes.’ He thought. “Middle of the night and I need another shower, pfft. He's probably sleeping like a baby." She headed for her ensuite. "Brat.” Loki left, seriously considering if he should continue with that spell. The last thing he wanted, was her somehow discovering he'd invaded her dreams and thoughts. She'd hate him for it and he could never live with that. Perhaps it was time to let her warm up to him, on her own terms. He went to the garage, performed some quick magic and returned to bed. In the morning, Shandi awoke to a knock on her door and the sweet smell of baking. “Wake up sleepy head, I've made breakfast again. It's on the counter, I'll just be outside.” After the food poisoning incident, he'd cooked every time they ate. In between, he’d shared healthy snacks and she'd yet to open a food cupboard or the freezer, since. Sleepy eyed, she sauntered to the kitchen and found warm muffins, a small bowl of strawberries and her favorite coffee brewing. ‘Well, you gotta admit.' She thought. 'It certainly beats a bowl of fruit loops. Might as well enjoy it while it lasts. He did offer help with your hair, but I'll bet there's a catch for all this cooking. Guess I'll find out soon enough.’ Once ready, she found him in the library, already as Clifford. He fixed her hair, then had her follow him out, towards the side of the house. “Why are we heading for the garden?” She asked. “I’d like your opinion on something.” As they turned the corner, she spotted two partially bloomed peony bushes, one pink, one white, on either side of the path. Each was encircled amidst decorative pebble stone and speechless, she glanced between him and them. “Not a good location?” He asked. “I could move them. I've installed muted lights beneath the stone, however, so perhaps you'd like to view them at night before deciding?” “Uhh, no..no they're fine. Beautiful too and..I mean..might I ask why you did this?” He looked into her eyes. “You did say you liked them, correct?” “I did.” “Very well then, come. Gus and Ella are having breakfast across from Beth's shop. Let's find you another pair of shoes for all the walking we’ll soon be doing. We’ll need more groceries too. As we'll soon be friends, Gus eats similar to ‘Blondie’ and I, so it's best to be prepared.” ‘Breakfast, peonies and new shoes? Have I just walked into the twilight zone? Wait...’ “‘Blondie?’” She asked. “Kroshka’s pet name for my brother. You know, the one I tossed, naked up a tree?” Shandi chuckled. “You didn't really do that, did you?” “Oh yes and it was well worth the punishment.” “Which was?” “A long grounding.” “What did he do to you?” Loki held open the gate. “Let's just say something he was wise enough, never to attempt again.” His response didn't sound positive, so she decided not to probe him about it. Once in the car, she waited until he fastened his seatbelt. “Thank you for the peonies, Loki. That was very kind of you.” He winked and turned the keys. “You're welcome.” Practically all the way into town, the dense woods surrounding the steep hill the house had been built upon, left the road lined with bushes and tall grasses. About three hundred meters after they turned onto it, something on the passengers side caught Loki's eye. “Did you see that?” He asked. There was a short strip where the grasses went further into the woods and it looked as though a vehicle had driven several feet into it, head on. Shandi shrugged her shoulders. “Probably some guy in a hurry to shake the dew off his lily.” Loki arched a brow. “Would you mind translating for the Asgardian, please?” “He needed to pee?” “Ah. I can't say I've ever referred to ‘mine’ as a flower, but to each his own, I suppose.” Shandi smirked, then read a text from Nat. She'd done her business in Beth's shop, but so far, there’d been no sign of Alice. It was still early, so Loki and Shandi carried on as planned. At the grocery store, she ventured over to the bread aisle, leaving Loki in the meat department. He was inspecting ground beef near some employee doors, when two young women came out. “Hello again, Laura. How are you?” She stopped and smiled. “Oh, hi. Excuse me, I've forgotten your name?” “Clifford.” “Yes and your wife is Elizabeth.” “That's right.” Loki kindly replied. After introducing her friend as Kate, she stated he and Elizabeth may have met their moms. “Oh?” He asked. “My mom mentioned meeting newcomers to the neighborhood in the town park. Her name is Alice.” “Then we did meet. Quite a friendly lady, as is Beth who owns the Maternity shop. Hopefully we made a good impression.” “I believe so.” Said Laura. Loki was engaging them further in small talk, when Kate gave Laura a strange look, then gestured with her eyes down a nearby aisle. Loki quickly looked to see a woman who appeared to be in her mid twenties, with long, curly blond hair, and a body like a playboy centerfold. She wore extremely short blue jean shorts, a tight tank top that did nothing to hide her abundant cleavage and black leather heels. All three looked back at each other. “Another newcomer?” Loki curiously asked. “We'd prefer if she were passing through.” Said Laura. “True.” Said Kate. Then she smiled sarcastically, at Laura. “Oh great, she's heading our way.” Laura whispered at Loki, before the woman got too close. “Heads up, Sir. You're about to meet Tanya, the town trollop.” He smirked at first until shooting another glance in the woman's direction. Heart shaped face with high cheekbones, perfect, peaches and cream complexion, luscious, full lips, she really was quite a beauty. Yet her eyes, the color of green ice, possessed a wickedness he sensed ran deep into her soul. Unbeknownst to her, Loki also noted the look of disdain she gave Laura, before shooting him a flirty, seductive smile. “Well, hello there.” She looked to Laura and Kate again. “Aren't you going introduce me to your friend?” “Why?” Asked Laura. “I wouldn't be doing him any favors.” The woman's lip twitched before her smile returned. “A rude child at play you are, Laura.” She turned back to Loki, fluttering her lashes and offered her hand, as if he were expected to kiss it. “I'm Tanya. And you are?” All three had seen Shandi approaching and knew she'd observed the entire interaction. As though it were a silent understanding amongst them, neither did a thing to give her away, yet Loki noticed how ‘she’ eyed ‘Tanya’ with disdain. ‘Hmm, Interesting.’ “His name is Clifford.” Shandi matter of factly, stated. Tanya turned, glanced at her stomach, then back to her face in silence. Shandi then smiled, but Loki knew, she didn't mean it. “And I'm his wife, Elizabeth. I'd shake your hand but…” Bypassing Tanya completely, Loki stepped forward, taking the bags of bagels and breads from Shandis hands. “Let me get those for you, darling.” Then he stood at her side, smiling, while removing a stray curl from her cheek. Tanya plastered on a fake smile of her own. “I assume you're new to town?” Shandi stared at her and Loki almost cackled, feeling the tension between the two. ‘Come now darling. Don't do anything silly.’ “We are.” Shandi flatly replied. “I gather you're not?” An awkward silence fell between them and Loki cleared his throat. “Let's continue shopping Lizzy, hm? We've a busy day ahead.” Shandi sighed and looked up at him, her voice becoming softer. “I'd rather not go to the park if we don't have to.” Loki clued in immediately to her intentions of hinting towards Elizabeth's issues before Laura, played along and gently ran the back of his finger down her cheek. “You know it's for the best.” Shandi couldn't prevent her eyes from fluttering in response to his touch and Laura sneered at Tanya's haughty expression, when observing the look of affection between them. To redirect attention to herself, she sighed and dramatically, flipped back her hair. “Well, I'll be on my way then. Welcome to the neighborhood.” Then she looked at Laura and Kate. “Have a pleasant day, ‘children.’” No one said a word until she was far down the aisle, when Laura commented. “She didn't mean that, but can't help being a bitch. It's in her nature.” Loki and Shandi looked at each other, as Kate took Laura's arm. “Come on girl, your moms probably knee deep in flour and sugar with Mrs. Carter by now and looking forward to a break.” She looked to Loki and Shandi. “If you haven't been yet, visit Carters Bakery, on Austin Road, you'll love it.” “We shall.” Said Loki. “Before you go, might I ask who that woman was?” “Scott Robertson's daughter, the captain of our police.” Said Laura. “And she's not a nice person.” Kate smiled nervously, leading Laura away. “It was nice to have met you both, but we need to go. Bye.” She whispered quietly as they walked. “Chill out okay. Don't let her get to you, she lives for that shit.” “It's kinda hard not too, Kate. You know why I hate her. Why is she back in town, anyway? To wreak more havoc?” “Hey, it's been over a year now. Please try not to think about it?” Shandi watched them, while whispering to Loki. “Did you catch all that sarcasm? Laura does ‘not’ like that woman. I do like how outspoken ‘she’ is though.” She turned to see him smirking at her. “Don't you?” “I think we should talk more about this in the car.” He whispered back. Shandi nodded in understanding, but Loki kept staring and smirking. “What?” She asked. “Nothing.” Then a thought crossed her mind. “Seriously? You didn't actually find that..‘thing’ appealing did you?” “Oh my. ‘Thing?’” He asked. Shandi gave him the stink eye. “Eh he he he. Of course not. I'm a married man, remember?” He started pushing the cart again. “Why do I get the feeling you were concerned I did, Lizzy?” “No I wasn't.” “Should I give her a go, then?” He teased. “Perhaps she’s not all that bad.” “Aren't you contradicting yourself?” “Was that a no?” Scarlet cheeked, Shandi moved to start walking ahead of the cart. “You talk too much, Clifford. We need some fruit.” Loki followed with a big grin. ‘Nice attempt at lying darling, but you've failed miserably.’
