Chapter 18
Loki was in shock since his meeting with Sif.He spent whole day contemplating if he wants to confront Thor or not. Thor had lied to him. No, he had kept from him that dwarves are here, welcomed for a diplomatic purpose. Lying by omissions, same thing Loki had done thousand times in his previous life.The same thing his so called parents had done to him and thrown him into a path of destruction. And now Thor had done same thing to him.Why? was he so hated by the norns that he could not have love and trust from a single person. He was still wallowing in self pity, when Thor came barging in.
Thor saw Loki sitting on a chair and went to hug him from behind. He Nuzzled the pale neck and asked,
" Shall I take you for walk?" Loki just shook his head 'no'
" Tonight we are having a 'dinner date', as its called on midgard. Only you and me dining in moonlight ,What do you think?" Thor said resting his chin on raven head.Loki said nothing, so he added,
" Love,are you all right? I wanted to make it surprise but Nanna said you are upset about something,so I told you in effort of cheering you."
" Whatever you say", Loki sounded like he was sad or disappointed.Thor walked in front of him and knelt taking his both hands in his own.
" What is troubling you,love?"
" You lied to me!" smaller man whispered. Thor felt like hitting himself, he should have known that Loki will find it out.
" I did not want to hurt you.",Thor said after a pause, " I thought seeing them will be difficult for you.It was not easy for me, even Sif left."
" So you lied to protect me? It seems a familial trait.... protecting me I mean."
" I was going to tell you tonight, brother trust me.I had no ill intention in hiding dwarve's visit. I know it's difficult for you to trust anybody right now, but will you, for this one time believe me? "
" What choice do I have?" his lover answered bitterly.
" I never wanted our life to be like this,love.But I care for you.If you don't trust me , you can punish me, however you like.I will remove the ring if you want to hit me.",He removed the ring from Loki's elegant finger.
" You are an oaf" ,slender man stood up exasperated
" So no hitting then?" Thor asked amused. " I will be back to take you for for dinner, I have to go back now"
" Why are you dining with me tonight? There would be a feast for them " ,Loki asked.
" I just wanted to make it clear that I prefer your company over theirs, in case they try to act smug around you." Thor sighed in relief seeing Loki's smile at his explaination.
" Thor ,you can not avoid your own feast in honour of your guests,even if those guests are dwarves. They will take it as insult."
" Let them. They had gall to come here and ask for head of my brother. Its them who want Asgard's favour,not me." , Loki knew that both realms depended on each other, Asgard needed weapons and Swarthalfeim needed wars brought by Asgard to sell those weapons. So he ignored the king's outburst and asked the question that was bothering him,
" Are they both here,I mean...." ,he trailed off touching his lips unconsciously.Thor understood,
" No.Eltri and Brokk are not with them.I may have hinted beforehand that they are not welcome.But still they all look similar, and they are all cruel and stupid.I would like you to stay away"
Loki nodded, lost in his thoughts.

Thor was irritated..Loki has been pestering him to attend the council since night.Even though he had clearly stated that he wanted to keep his lover as away from the dwarves as possible, said lover had somehow decided that he wanted to face them.Now they were having same argument over breakfast in their private dining room.
" Oh, don't you take that patronizing tone with me, you promised we will be equal here." Loki pushed his half eaten plate away.
" We are equal and I am trying to protect you.You should finish your food,brother" ,Thor said calmly.
" Stop mothering me, I am not hungry anymore", with that said Loki stood up and stomped inside.
" I hate it when you take your anger out on food." ,Thor follwed and tried to hug him.Loki ducked away.
" I want to come Thor, you yourself said I have to face my fears.I will not do anything extreme, please let me attend the negotiations"
" You know I would not command you but I still do not like them near you"
" I can handle it. You yourself made me advisor"
" No Loki" ,those words caused the slender man to stiffen.
" You will have to order me while I am wearing the ring, else I am coming" ,he answered stubbornly.
" What if I prevent you without help of the ring?"
" You want a wager with me? the trickster?"
" Depends upon prize! what will you give me if I win?" ,the king sounded amused to Loki's chagrin.
" You will not use the ring to stop me and you will not hold me physically or by tying me." He listed his conditions ,Then as afterthought added , "No mjolnir allowed also"
" Accepted.Tell me what will be my prize if I stopped you you from going out?"
" Don't look so smug you oaf! Tell me what you will give me when I get into the council room, because I am going to follow you the moment you are out of our chambers"
" That is to be seen my love. But if you can leave this room before meeting ends, I will grant you any wish that is in my power" ,he answered thoughtfully.
" Very well, don't worry.I will not ask for my freedom. "
" And what do I get when you are stranded here for the day?" Thor changed the subject blatantly.
" What can I give you? I own nothing! I am your property myself!"
" You are not my property, you are my beloved. And you can give me same thing I promised you. You can grant me one wish if I won."
" You can command me anything.What does one wish means to you?" ,Loki said .
" You know I don't like to order you around.I may hesitate to command in some cases, so maybe it will be of use some day.Or I can use it in bed, you never know!" Thor answered with a grin, eyes dark with lust. Loki sighed and kept his face thoughtful.
Thor went out and said something to the guard.
When he came back, he kissed Loki with full force and pushed him towards bed.
" Stop thinking ,love.Say yes" he said pushing Loki's trousers down the long legs.
" Fine.but we are not doing this now" , Loki tried to push him away.Thor kissed the tip of his half hard length and asked,
" Are you sure, love? Your body seems to be interested"
Loki narrowed his eyes," Stop teasing me, Thor. we both need to leave now."
Thor was about to answer when a knock was heard from outer doors.He got up and pulled a soft covering on his lovers body and went to answer the door.
When he came back he had a small bowl filled with ice cubes.Loki's brows went up in question.Thor pulled the covers silently. And kissed there,just because he could.As Thor moved to dip his fingers in lubricant, Loki spoke,
" What are you doing,we will miss the meeting.Aah...." he lost the thought when a finger entered him.They had explored each other's bodies once they accepted their desire. Thor loved having Loki in every way, Loki loved experiments. So having Thor's fingers in his back enterence instead of his vagina was arousing in stead of shocking. He moaned when cool ice slid inside him. Thor kept teasing his both genitalia along with pushing ice cubes inside .By the time the all the ice disappeared in his body, Loki was whimpering with desire ,precum leaking from his steelhard manhood.
Thor stood near bed and admired his handwork.His beloved looked delicous lying there naked waist-down. He had dishelved his tunic in his thrashing riding it up, exposing alabaster skin of his abdomen. His upper buttons had got undone revealing collarbones.Thor wished,he could stay and devour his brother squirming like a feast layed before him. But that had to wait. He bent down to kiss his beloved's forehead and in the same motion slid the ring in his finger.
"Wha..." Loki was so confused that he looked adorable.
" I promised you, I shall not command you to remain here.But I command you to keep the ice inside.You will not remove it or melt it early. You will keep it in untill it melts on its own or I come back and help you with this " ,he said giving a tug to now hard penis.Then added with a smirk, " You are welcome to accompany me, brother! And you are not allowed to use your jotun abilities or your magic today"
Loki staired in horror, as the realisation hit him. He could not go out with ice in his body. His bodyheat will melt it slowly, leaking the water out.It would make a wet stain on his pants and Thor had forbid him from using magic. People would think he wet his pants, he shook his head.Shame and humiliation were the feelings he was familiar with, Aesir made sure of it . But what Thor had threatened him with, he could not allow to happen. He didnot realise when Thor had left.Loki groaned , "When did the stupid Oaf has become so clever? " He squirmed in discomfort , tho cool ice tantalising his privates.He could not be hurt by cold, but it was not very pleasant sensation. He moved to find a comfortable position and touched his manhood. He soon lost himself in pleasure and totally avoided thinking about his defeat.
