Red Flame

Chapter 18

We walked together, all of us, No wanting introductions. We were simply happy to be there. Thor met Anna at the Gardens gate. He was handsome, in his simple attire. Mom and dad walked in together. Percy grabbed Annabeth away. Dancing was one thing we all loved doing, especially with the right people. Loki snuck behind me, snaking his arm around my waist. Wearing his green leather again.

            "You looked beautiful," He said. I smiled, my heart racing. He made me feel so, good, and free. I loved him, I needed to tell him. He needed to know. I wanted him to know. We walked to the floor together. Annabeth stopped dancing. She went over to the fountain and the next thing I hear is Mine and Loki's song.

            "Shall we," He asked. Holding his hand for me to take. I grabbed it holding it in place until the music began to pick up. He grabs me around the waist. I placed my right hand in his left, and my left on his shoulder. We began to dance like no one else was watching, staring at each other.

            "They look perfect," Annabeth said, I heard her, and so did he. I smiled at me and gave me that look, he knew.

            "They do," Anna said. Loki spun me out. I stood in the middle of the garden. He teleported behind me. That was a new move. He grabs me from behind lifting me up, spinning me, He sits me down and the way he looked at me, I knew, He felt the exact same I did. There was love there. There always was.

The song ended, and another familiar song began. One I sang to him, and it was a truthful song. Without him it was never enough. It would never be enough to give him my life, he deserved more than that.

            "I love you," I blurted out. I couldn't help myself. No one heard it, but he did. He smiled.

            The next thing I knew, were weren't in the garden, we were in his chambers. His room was green, as Loki would have it, and a garden in his window. He loved plants. I looked around to him he had taken his shirt off. He came towards me. His eyes filled with want. His smile filled with happiness. I took my cloak off. He wanted this moment to be one where we were alone, and it would be more intimate. He came closer to me. I felt his chest rising, like before, his heart was beating so fast. He places a hand under my chin.

            "Ella, you are my light, you challenge me, and for that I am truly happy to say this, I am in love with you."

            But with that, I couldn't wait. I leaned up and put my lips on his. Our first kiss! The fire inside burned in me. Wanting out. It wanted me to release it, and I did. The passion burned me up. I wanted him to know how much I absolutely loved him. He was safe haven, my solace. And Annabeth was right. Loki felt Right, and like home.

            He places a hand around my waist. He pushes my back against the wall. He deepens the fire. He was raging for it too. The love we shared was unbeatable. No one knew that extent we would go to, to have each other. And we would. We would have each other if it burned us up. His hands found it's way to the buttons on my dress, unlatching everyone. It fell against my skin to the floor.

            I undo his pants, he doesn't push me away, he lets me. He wanted this as bad as I did. Maybe more. He sees me not wearing a bra, he bites his lips and pulls me towards him near the bed. He was wearing skintight boxers, to which I loved. They were white. He laid me down and climbed on top of me.

            "Do you want this," He asked. I smiled.

            "More than you know," I said. With that he took it upon himself to make this night passionate, with as much love as he could give me.

            The next could of hours were a blur, but they were amazing. The love he showed me, it was better than I imagined. I could stay here forever with him.

He was so sweet, gentle, and loving with me. And he was a great partner to go full combat with, he brought the A-game. And he was genuine, always truthful with me. He helped me more than I ever imagined. And he knew my love for him burned me up.

"So, Can I ask you something," He asked, As we laid together. I was laying on his chest.

            "What," I said, sitting up.      

            "Well, I get that love is, well, this, but what does this mean for us, do we court? Or is this more of a casual love affair?"

            "Loki, this is more than casual, If you want we can be together as a couple, dating, sharing a bed every now and then," I said. He smiled.

            "Sharing a bed, I love the sound of that, and I don't see why we can't 'date' Thor and Anna have been, and everyone loves them," He said. I raised up.

            "They'll love us more," I said. Placing a kiss on his lips. It didn't last to long, a few seconds.

            "My Ella," He said. I smiled.

            "My Loki."

            We defeated the demons, overcome our fear of commitment, and The Flame was now gone, for now, But that wasn't the end, we would have war, because where there were gods and kings, Goddesses and Queens, there were enemies, and we would have to fight them, all.
