Choices

Note: during the last chapter Loki and Cephera had been together as a couple for the last 18 years. Still a very new relationship to them. No worries I am not skipping the development.
Chapter 53
"I'm concerned," Cephera said as Loki's fingers walked their way up her spine. She was laying on her stomach, her arms folded under her chin. Loki was sat beside her cross legged, both of them were naked.
"For what?" Loki asked his fingers reaching the back of her neck and sending shivers throughout her back. She loved Loki's delicate touches. She could never get enough, their relationship felt as new as it had when it started.
"For Sif. No one has seen her since the arena battle, and the fact my sister has also gone missing for this whole week is also concerning." Cephera rolled to look at Loki at an angle.
"Sif will be back and I'm sure your sister is with her." Loki replied with a shrug.
"Yes I'm sure Seraphina is with her, that's what worries me. Seraphina is known for getting into trouble without regard for rules. I'm afraid her way of cheering up Sif may not be a good one." Cephera scrunched up her nose in distaste.
"You cannot communicate with her?" Loki asked fingering the ring on Cephera's hand.
"No, she's out of range,"
"Well seeing as neither you nor I know where either woman is, how about we focus on where we are." Loki grinned that devilish grin of his. Cephera's heart fluttered. "You know, I never noticed you had a tiny mole right her." Loki touched the spot in question just above her hip.
"Still finding new things about me and me about you. It's refreshing." Cephera pushed herself up and curved one arm around Loki's shoulder to hold herself in her awkwardly seated position.
He kissed her. Firmly snaking an arm under her arm and around her upper back. How is it she could still crave these kisses so fiercely? She couldn't remember the last time she'd seen her room in the last 18 years. Even now she felt like she could wake from a dream and a part of her feared none of these years were real.
Her feelings towards Loki made her fearful in this manner. She hated the thought of losing what they had. Seeing Sif and Thor fall apart only made her all the more frightened. What if that happened to her relationship? What if Loki bored of her someday and their love would suffer for it?
All those negative thoughts vanished when Loki broke his kiss and trailed his lips along her jawbone. His free hand skimming up over her belly and then circling one of her breasts. Her nipple perked out as he fluttered featherlike touches over it. When it was hard enough he pulled at it making her gasp and arch her back.
Cephera moved quick. Sitting up and pushing Loki back. He liked it when she became assertive, it tended to turn him on. She found that out after the first year when she'd finally began to take a little control. Usually it was Loki doing everything because she was afraid she'd fool up, but he'd opened her up much more than she'd known she could.
She growled and nipped at his ear, his hands grasped her arms and it was his turn to groan. She'd knocked him to his back and her leg was pressed between his, his erection firmly set against her. A little roughly, he shoved his hand into her hair and yanked her into a roll, putting him on top.
One of her legs was now bent and resting against his hip and the second laying flat between his. He kissed her again, hard and unyielding, Cephera responded with the same eagerness. Biting at his lower lip from time to time. Loki placed both his knees between hers and pushed her legs wide, not that it took much pushing.
He ground his cock against her naked sex, still moist from his seed after their first round of sex. He moved up and down along her folds, spreading the lubrication further over her. Cephera squirmed and pushed back. She wanted to feel him in her again.
At last he used a free hand to guide his cock to her entrance and with a slow torture, he pushed inside her inch by satisfying inch. She could feel the control he was exerting to hold back from slamming into her. She wrapped her arms around him and bent her legs back to allow for deeper penetration. When he was as far as he could go he used the same slow movement to ease back out to the edge and then in again.
"You're driving me crazy," she moaned against his cheek.
"I know." He replied and smirked. It was just like him to do this, not just in the bedroom but with her training. Though the training had suffered during their first years together, they had finally gotten back on track. An even mix of work and pleasure, though sometimes Loki liked to intermix those two things.
The selfish jerk enjoyed teasing her, making her wait, making her beg. Even when she took control, she really hadn't. He would let her think she had control and then he enjoyed taking it away to prove to her who she belonged to, and it drove her crazy but in a good way.
Over and over he filled her and then left her to feel empty before pushing back in. She was soaked with the sheer anticipation for more. She tried urging him on with kisses along his face and then a tantalizing lick to his ear. He moaned but kept his pace the same. She even attempted to wrap her legs around him and pull him closer, but he was stronger than her and he fought against her pull and even chuckled.
"I hate you." She told him, raking her fingernails along his back eliciting a cry from Loki.
"You're a horrible liar princess." Loki replied and pulled from her completely. She whimpered and groaned in disappointment. "You need to learn patience," he said.
"I'm usually very patient, though not with things that feel this good." She whined. Loki rolled his eyes while she rolled to her hands and knees. Tucking two pillows under her sternum, she offered herself to him at an angle that worked for both of them. She didn't look at him she just waited.
She didn't wait long, for someone who spoke of patients he certainly didn't have much either. She smiled to herself and waited, his hands slid up her back and then massaged her shoulders. She lifted her rump up higher to press against him and he took the offer.
He glided into her womanhood and she settled against the pillows more comfortably before he began a steady rhythm. His hands bracing him, palms flat to the bed on either side of her shoulders. They both moaned, he'd given up his teasing, but he still took his time. An even movement, with kisses lining her shoulders.
Time was something she always lost track of when in this moment. She closed her eyes and forget everything except what she felt. A warmth deep inside her each time his cock stroked along her g-spot. She clenched her muscles around him and it was delicious the amount of pleasure it helped bring. He'd taught her that. Told her how to practice and how to tighten those muscles and he had been right, it was not just pleasurable for him, but her too.
So close, so close to cumming when she heard Seraphina call out. 'No, no, no... Not now!' Cephera cried out the words to her sister mentally, but her sister's voice wasn't in her mind. She heard her laughing and so did Loki.
"Loki stop, she's just going to barge in." Cephera told him, but he didn't listen, probably didn't care. Instead, he sped up. He pounded against her hard and she cried out again only this time in her own release. She screamed in pleasure and for that blissful moment she forgot the embarrassment she was about to go through. Her sister had no shame in such matters.
Loki forced his own orgasm forth, halting deep against her and groaning loudly, a little too loudly. His face buried into her hair and his breath on her neck. "Opps, should I have knocked?" Seraphina asked.
Cephera smothered her face forward against the mattress and willed this moment to end. 'I hate you,' Cephera said to her sister privately.
'You're a horrible liar sister,' Seraphina responded and Cephera cracked a grin. How alike Seraphina and Loki were in some ways. Perhaps that's why they didn't get along.
Loki rolled off Cephera. "You're irritating," Loki said to the elder princess.
"So are you, but this is refreshing. To see my little sister in such a state makes me feel like I've made the right decision leaving her in your care. At least you bring her pleasure, some men don't bother doing that much." Cephera sat up throwing a sheet over Loki's lap. She'd spent most of her life sleeping naked with her sister, but she didn't need her sister eyeballing her naked paramour for any reason.
"Way to ruin the moment." Cephera glared at her sister.
"Really? Cause it didn't sound like I ruined it." Seraphina gave Cephera a look and Cephera's face turned red hot. She hadn't realized she'd been that loud.
"Why are you here?" Loki asked having wrapped the sheet about his waist and standing to fetch a drink, liquor by the look of it. Loki enjoyed his wine, not enough to get him drunk like Thor did most nights since Sif's departure.
"Sif." Seraphina crossed her arms.
"What made you think you'd find her in my bedroom?" Loki narrowed his eyes, clearly not liking the implication.
It was Seraphina's turn to roll her eyes and she helped herself to her own glass of wine and even took the liberty of sitting on Loki's bed. "I didn't think I'd find her here, I'm here because I knew my sister would be with you and I need help regarding Sif."
"Is she okay?" Cephera turned to her sister with worry slipping into her mind.
"Okay as in physically, sure, mentally..., I'm not so sure."
"Get on with it." Loki growled.
"Geeze, you'd think postcoital euphoria would make you more pleasant." Seraphina chided downing her glass. "Alright, Sif and I joined the Valkyrie."
Cephera felt her mouth drop open. "You took a vow of celibacy against men and also a vow to destroy the pride of men?" Loki nearly laughed. "I doubt you could keep your legs closed long enough to get passed their initiation."
"Loki!" Cephera smacked him in the shoulder with a glare, he'd sat just behind her.
"It's okay, he's not wrong. The life of a Valkyrie is not one for me, but Sif thinks it's her only option. She's married to man she no longer loves or respects. Her vision of her future has become a jagged edge of fiery hate. She's closing up, she's not herself. I think that the Valkyrie are the worst people she could turn to. They fill her head with more hatred by spinning around her situation. They make it sound like Thor just wanted a trophy and never loved her but even I know that's not true."
"And what would you like us to do? I, for one, cannot enter the mountain keep where the Valkyries are, they would kill me on sight." Loki reminded her.
"Believe it or not, I care if you live or die, but only because my sister is happy. Once you break her heart your life is fair game, but this isn't about you right now. Sif is my friend and I want to free her from this prison."
"Prison? They hold her against her will?" Cephera bit her lip and her sister once again rolled her eyes.
"No, I meant her mental prison. The negativity that has her believing that this is her only choice for a happy life. The Valkyrie at least understand that taking the vow is not something every woman will stick to. They don't hold grudges for those who go back to the outside world, but they do refuse to ever help or acknowledge them in the future should they try to return."
"So if you've left, how will you get back in?"
"They don't know I left." Seraphina smirked. "I'm good at sneaking around."
"So what's the plan?"
"Well, if the two of you can keep your hands off each other long enough we just need to locate Sif and convince her what a bad idea this is."
"You make it sound so easy." Loki finished off his wine.
"Everything sounds easy, but nothing ever is. Loki, you'll need to become a woman for this, you think you're up to playing pretend?" Cephera saw a twinkle in Loki's eyes. He loved a challenge, especially one that required using magic.
"By the time I'm done, you'll look like a fake." Loki replied smugly.
