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.’

About the 1001 Dark Nights: Bundle Eleven Authors-

Kristen Proby was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years. During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list. Not only did she publish one book, she’s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series. Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.

Elisabeth Naughton is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. From Elisabeth: “I was never one of those people who knew they wanted to be an author at the age of six. I didn’t have imaginary friends. I didn’t write stories in my journal or entertain my relatives by firelight after Thanksgiving dinner. For the most part, I was just a normal, everyday kid. I liked to read, but I wasn’t exceptional at it. And when my teachers complimented me on my writing abilities, I brushed them off. I did, however, always have a penchant for the unique and absurd. And as my mother told me all throughout my childhood, I should have been an actress—I was a drama queen before my time. “Years ago, my husband bought me Scarlett: The Sequel to Gone With The Wind. If you ever saw the book, you know it’s a long one. I sat and read that thing from cover to cover, and dreamed of one day being a writer. But I didn’t actually try my hand at writing until years later when I quit my teaching job to stay home with my kids. And my husband? After that week of reading where I neglected him and everything else until I finished Scarlett, he vowed never to buy me another book again. Little did he know I’d one day end up sitting at a keyboard all day drafting my own stories. “My writing journey has not been easy. I didn’t just sit down one day, decide I was going to write a book and voila! sell my very first attempt. As most authors will probably agree, the path to publication is filled with hours of work, pulling all-nighters I thought I’d given up in college, sacrifices, rejections, but a love I discovered along the way I just can’t live without. Instead of a big, thick book to read by lamplight (I do read much smaller ones when I get the chance), I’ve traded in my reading obsession for a laptop. And I’ve never been happier. “I’m one of the lucky ones. I have a wonderful family and fabulous husband who put up with my writing—and obsessive personality—even when life is chaotic. More than once my kids have been late to swimming or baseball because I needed just five more minutes to finish a scene. Their support and encouragement mean the world to me. I also have amazing friends and a support network I couldn’t survive without. So to all of you out there who have encouraged me along the way, sent me emails and fan letters, phone calls and congratulations, I just want to say, thank you. You make this whole writing gig that much more enjoyable. I truly wouldn’t be here without you.”

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.’

Irked Chapter 14

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.
