31 Chapter 31 You Are No Monster

I turn to face him, moving closer to him as he puts his arms around me. We are both smiling, Loki moving my hair out of my eyes as we relax in each other arms. Safe and at peace.

"Now you have relaxed." He whispers before frowning, "Sorry if I was little dominating."

"Only a little but I kind of like your dominating side." I say with a mischievous smile, "Very intense and I like your silver tongue."

He chuckles, "It sounded like you did."

I give him a look, "Well you did want me to moan." We both chuckle, "And I enjoyed it, a lot. You should be like that more often and it did help me relax. I feel better. But next time, we both have some pleasure and maybe chill it down a bit. You were a tad over the top."

He smiles at me, moving my hair to one side, "I promise next time I will take it down a notch. I just wanted to worship you as you deserve to be worshipped, to make you feel immense pleasure. It was the least I could do considering you said yes… I want you to feel how much I love you."

"You definitely did that." I say and then I catch on, "Did you really think I wouldn't say yes?"

He frowns, "Honestly I thought you might say no."

I give him a look, "Why? You know how I love you, adore you. I wouldn't have come to Asgard to be with you if I didn't want to spend the rest of my life with you." He is still frowning, "Loki you wanted me to talk so talk to me. Why did you think I would say no?"

"Because even though I am a better man now, thanks to you, I still see myself as a… a monster." He admits, "I try not to but sometimes I see the way people look at me and it brings back all my fear of what I am rushing back. A frost giant."

"Oh Loki." I put my hands on his cheeks, "Screw them."

He gives me a surprised look, "I'm sorry?"

I chuckle, "There is always going to be some idiot who judges you for who you are. Some people who will judge you for your heritage. It doesn't mean they are right." I smile at him, "You might be a frost giant but you are not a monster."

"There is literally bedtime stories depicting frost giants as monsters." He tells me.

"So?" I look into his green eyes, "You could walk around in your frost giant form all the time and it wouldn't bother me. Nor would it bother your family, your friends or anyone that is important to you. And all the people who don't understand, who still fear or judge you, will just have to learn you are no monster."

He frowns, "I don't think the people will ever accept me for who I am."

I smile, "They will. You are their prince and the more you do for them, the more you help the realm not to mention me, they will warm up to you. Just ignore the idiots who are still struggling to accept who you are."

"I know and it was foolish of me to think you wouldn't say yes to me." He forces a smile, "I just feared for a second that you would see me as a monster. Like a part of me still does."

Taking a breath, I shake my head, "Loki you are NOT a monster. You have never been a monster in my eyes. I know monsters and you are not one. Surely you remember Killian? The horrible man who attacked me, kidnapped me twice and then raped me in that cell?" He frowns as he remembers, "He was a monster and so is Damian I expect. But you… you are no monster. You wouldn't hurt anyone like that, you know that. You are no monster."

He smiles at me, "How do you have this much faith in me? Even when I lose faith in myself? Even when I think I am still that monster?"

"As a monster can't love Loki and this." I hold up my left hand, showing off my engagement ring, "Shows that you do. You love me and your family and your friends. You are a good man so stop thinking you are a monster as you are not one. You never were even when Thanos had you. You are no monster."

He nods, taking a breath, "I'm not a monster." He smiles at me, "Just a dashing prince who is hopelessly in love with his beautiful fiancée who continues to amaze him. I love you."

"And I love you." I whisper, "I just fear what the future will bring."

He kisses me on the lips, "I know you are worried my love, we both are. But have faith, we will get through this and nothing will happen to us. We will have a happy and long life together. I believe that. Just have faith, like you have so much faith in me. You are my princess and don't worry, you are safe with me."

I nod, "I know. Thanks Loki."

Then we kiss again before he pulls me closer to him and I fall asleep, safe in his arms. Letting all the worries that were haunting me disappear as I let myself dream, not wanting to think about anything. I am safe with the man I love and I won't let the Dark Order ruin my happiness. I've just got to believe that we will be ok and somehow, we will both survive this. And me and Loki will both be together, always. We both have our fears but we will overcome them, together.
