Preoccupation

As the hand maidens bathed and dressed me the next morning they took special care to cover my ankles with a long dress and my wrists with sleeves and jewelry. I wondered what all the effort was for, would Loki not be pleased with my appearance all battered a bruised. He was the one, after all, that caused all the dark marks on my flesh. Whatever the reason I didn’t argue, I didn’t have it in me after last night. The blue dress I was put in hung very low and very loose on my otherwise bare chest, however comfortable it was I didn’t like it. I was escorted to the large dining hall, and when I came around the corner I found it was filled with very tall, very blue men. The room was loud with yelling and talking, that is until they noticed my presence. A silence fell and everyone sat down. I could see across the room, past maybe 40 frost giants, to where Loki was standing in front of them all. I was almost relieved to see him.
“ah, come, my darling” he called waving me over
My knees were shaky from the way these men were looking at me, up and down, but I headed towards him maneuvering my way through the crowd. When I got to Loki’s side he put an arm around my waist
“Friends! May I introduce you to my queen, Grace!” he announced “These men will be staying with us as our guests in the palace for a few nights”
The men smiled and stared at me shamelessly, making me incredibly uncomfortable.
“Excuse my people” One of the tall men standing next to me spoke “it’s just that they have never seen such a beautiful creature come from Midguard” he took my hand and kissed it with cold lips “I am King Laufey of Joutenheim”
Now identifying the man as Loki’s father I took a subconscious step back
“She is a sight to behold, my son” Laufey chuckled at Loki
“oh you have no idea” he replied smirking. The crowd of men applauded and cheered for Loki and he happily absorbed every ounce of adoration
“Thank you for coming my pet” Loki whispered into my ear as his hand found my butt “you may wait in the kitchen” he gave my round bottom a small squeeze and dismissed me. I walked towards the kitchen, past Laufey, and I swear I could actually feel his eyes on me.
Entering the safety of the kitchen my mind screamed that these men would be wandering freely around the palace. I waited in the kitchen, sitting out of the way of the maids, for a long while before Loki appeared
“my my” he smirked touching my face “such a beautiful little thing you are” he ran his thumb over my bottom lip “the frost giants seem quite taken with you, and why shouldn’t they be” he hungrily looked down the neckline of my dress which barely covered my nipples. Dropping his thumb from my lip he slipped his fingers beneath my dress and gently pinched my nipple. A moan graced my lips as the slight amount of pleasure he created mixed with the pain from the bite mark still evident on the pink flesh. He leaned in close and whispered softly in my ear
“If I did not have duties to attend to right now I would throw you over that counter and claim your body so many times you would forget your own name” he straightened himself up “however for now you will socialize with our guests”
I looked up at him questioningly. He was going to throw me into the shark tank?
He took my arm “now remember that these are our friends and you will be polite” he led me though the door and left my side. I stood by myself for only a moment before one of the men noticed I was alone and came over
“Hello there” he sauntered over making his way dangerously close to me
I looked up at him, then over at Loki who was harboring a menacing glare “hi” I turned back to the stranger
“mmm” he licked his lips “she speaks. I’m Aud”
“Grace” I looked down at the floor
“Aud, don’t hog the mortal” another man came over “my name is Hymir”
“hello” I smiled, he seemed much kinder than Aud
“So, Grace, I have a question reguar-opps” the glass in Hymir’s hand fell onto the floor from his hand, though it did not shatter. “Oh my clumsiness, would you get that for me darling?”
I smiled, poised “of course” I knelt down to pick up the glass and when I returned it to Hymir’s hand his red eyes locked with mine.
“Thank you” he took it from me, softly brushing the side of my hand with his “you’re so kind” his words came out slowly
I thought the action quite strange, but just then the fork in Aud’s hand slipped and clattered on the ground. I looked at him and he stared at me, so I did what I thought I was meant to and bent over to get it for him. As I was picking up the fork I looked at myself and noticed that in this position my breasts were completely visible to the tall men. I stood slowly taking in the information and silently placed the fork on Aud’s plate.
“Gilling, come here” Aud called to the man behind him. The third man approached and stood between Aud and Hymir. Hymir took a spoon from who I assumed was Gilling and dropped it on the ground. My stomach turned, I knew what this was. They knew I was to be nice or I would be punished, and therefore had to play their dirty game. I willed the tears forming in my eyes to stay in and I knelt down. As I went to stand up I felt a hand on my head and I looked up. Aud was holding me form standing up, keeping my boobs in their view. Hymir reached down and rubbed his big hand over his crotch and Gilling gently ran his fingers over my jaw. Soon there were three or four frost giants dropping things on the ground for me to pick up, and each time they would hold me down just a bit longer to take in the view. I was sick to my stomach. Just as I stood for the sixth time I felt Loki’s hands on my waist from behind
“my pet” I turned to him and he smiled “you may dismiss yourself to our chambers, we must talk of things that are unsuitable for a ladies ears”
I was so thankful that he had showed up “yes my king, of course my king” I smiled and quickly left the room.
I took a deep breath heading down the halls to the bed chambers, so thankful that I was away from those horrible beings. I turned the final corner towards the room and bumped into someone
“oh, sorry” I looked up at Laufey
He smiled “no harm done darling”
I smiled and went to go past him but he put his hand against the wall, stopping me
“I was actually hoping to run into you”
“oh?” I asked, trying to sound happy taking a step back, but again he blocked me by placing his other arm on the wall, trapping me.
“yes, I wanted to tell you in private just how pretty you are, for a mortal”
My heart was beating unbelievably fast “thank you, Laufey”
“mmm. You may call me King Laufey” he licked his lips
“of course” I corrected myself with shaky breath “King Laufey”
He leaned in inches from my lips “maybe, one night, we will have the luxury of time and we can sneak away. I know we would both enjoy the opportunity to lay together.” His cold finger softly stroked my nipple through my dress “I’m sure I could fuck my name right out of your lips” while my nipple was becoming hard I wasn’t enjoying the feeling at all “I am due to speak with my son” his hand fell from my nipple and down my side “he will be expecting me” travelling to the center of my body he cupped my crotch “but perhaps some other time?”
I shivered at his words and chocked out the last four I could manage “of course King Laufey”
He backed away from me smirking and looked me over one more time before disappearing around the corner. Tears poured from my eyes I ran into the bed chambers. I locked the door behind me and ran collapsing on the bed in a ball. I pulled as many blankets over me as I could find and sobbed.
When I finally pulled myself together enough to lower the blankets from my face the sun was just setting out the window. I wanted to stay in the bed, away from everything, but I also wanted to get as far away from it as I could get as the events from the night before repeated over and over again in my head. I felt like the best thing I could do was to get outside, get some fresh air, but I wasn’t sure if I would be able to. Sure I knew my way around the palace, but what I didn’t know was exactly how many frost giants were here, and whether or not Loki would actually let me outside the palace.
