Loki is in his room reading when there is a knock at his door and it opens slightly.

"Loki, are you here?" You say as you step in to the room and see him sitting in a chair by the window.

Loki looks up and is surprised to see you. "Are you sure you want to be here? We don't need to add another reason for Stark to kill me."

You walk over, facing him in the chair as he puts his book down. " I don't care what my brother thinks."

You put your knees on each side of him, straddling him in the large chair. "I'm positive I want to be here."

Loki looks deeper in to your eyes, searching for the burning blue flames. You know what he is thinking. "It's me Loki, not Ms. Hyde."

He slowly reluctantly places his hands on your hips. "Lark, I don't understand?"

You place a hand on his chest and lean in closer to him. "Then let me explain." You lean in and gently kiss him. You pull back a little, your lips hovering over his. Loki's grip on your hips tightens. He looks at your eyes and then back to your lips. You slowly shift your weight in his lap, applying just the right amount of pressure to assure him what you are doing.

His lips crash back against yours as your hands grab the side of his face. His hands slowly sliding up your side to your back. He pulls you closer against him. The kiss becomes more passionate . You run your tongue across his lips. He responds letting you in but quickly takes control of the kiss. You wrap your arms around his neck, your fingers digging in to his hair.
He breaks the kiss momentarily. "Lark, why...? Is all he can get out before you place your finger over his lips.

"Shh. I don't want to talk." You rock back and forth in his lap. He grabs your shoulders as he places small bites on your neck. He then kisses them causing you to let out soft gasps. He pulls the collar of your t shirt to one side.

He lets out a small grunt. "Too much clothing." And snaps his fingers leaving you in only your bra and underwear. "More beautiful than I remember."

He drags his lips down from your collar bone to the top of your breasts. Your head drops back as you give in to the sensation. In a gentle motion he stands up holding your legs around him. One hand under your thigh the other at the center of your back. He walks you over to the bed where he tenderly lays you down.

He stands above you, looking down at you. Your hair spread out across his bed as you hold your arms out to him. You are a vision, a goddess, to him. He puts a knee on the bed and both arms on each side of you. Holding himself up as he hovers over you. You reach up and run your hands over his shoulders.

"To much clothing." You whisper as he brushes his lips down your neck.

"As you wish my pet." Another snap of his fingers his clothes are gone. His body hovering above you in all its glory. His hand slides up your inner thigh. He looks at you tenderly but there is a fire just lurking behind it.

" Is this want you want, love?"

"Yes, Loki. I want you." You say as you run your hands up his arms and in to his hair.

There is a knock at the door. Loki is jolted awake realizing the book is still in his hands and you are no where in sight. How could that be, it had to be real. It felt so real, you felt so real. There is another knock. Loki stands, composing himself as he walks to the door and opens it.

"Loki, can we talk?" You say standing at his threshold.

Loki's mind spins for a second, is this another dream?

You notice his hesitation. "Are you all right? Did I come at a bad time?"

He shakes his head to clear it. "Yes, I'm fine. I just fell asleep while reading. Please come in."

You can't get over the feeling that something is wrong with Loki. You sit down on the edge of the bed.

" I need to ask you a question and it's very important that you answer it honestly. Please tell me the truth no matter the answer. Can you do that for me Loki?"

He reaches out for your hand and holds your fingertips gently. "Of course. I promised you that I would not throw away my second chance."

You sit there in silence for a minute. Unsure if you can bring yourself to ask the question, let alone hear the answer. " Lark, what is wrong? Your silence is concerning me."

Loki is becoming anxious as to what the question will be. Is this just a dream within a dream?

You swallow and clear your throat. " Loki, did you come in to my mind last night? Please be honest with me. I need to know the truth?"

"No Lark, I would never do that again. I would only ever enter your mind with your permission, unless I could see that it was of life or death." You can feel the sincerity in his voice and see it in his eyes.

You let out a soft sigh. "I believe you Loki. Thank you for being honest with me."

"Can I inquire as to why you think I entered your mind last night?" He is concerned that She is playing games again with your mind.

" I just had a dream that felt a little to real. It wasn't a vision I know that but I had to ask. I'm sorry for doubting you." You are simultaneously relieved and scared. Relieved to know that Loki hadn't violated your trust again but scared where the dream came from.

"It could have been Hyde playing games again. Do you wish me to question her?" Loki says still holding your hands.

"No, I already confronted her about it and she denied it. For once I believe she wasn't involved." You tell Loki, confident in your belief.

"Lark, why would you try to let her out by yourself? What if she had tried to take control again?" The level of concern in Loki's voice has risen greatly.

"It wasn't that big of a struggle. She was manageable and left quietly. It was a little off for Her but I was rather forward with her and she seemed to respect it, in her own way."

You can see some tension leave Loki's body after he hears that. He takes a breath and holds it. You know what is coming.

"Can I ask again why you think I invaded your mind last night?"

You really don't want to tell him but you also want to get to the bottom of this.
" I had a dream and you were in it." You say looking down at your hands,

"Well just because I was in a dream, that doesn't necessarily mean it was manipulated. We did just talk a few days ago. It would seem natural for me to be in a dream." He takes your hand in reassurance that he has not manipulated your mind again.

You take in a deep breath and let it out. You look up from your hands to his eyes.

"It was a very passionate dream Loki. I don't want to go into detail, please."

Instantly his eyes drop and moves his hands. Did he, you think to yourself.

"Loki, you've been off since I walked in. What is wrong?" You ask him.

"Nothing, Love. It's just that what you are telling me about the dream puts things into a different perspective." He still is not making complete eye contact with.

"Loki, do I need to worry? You are making me nervous. Could Hyde have been behind it?"

He sits back down next to you. " No I don't believe it to by Her either. I need to think about this for a bit and consult a few books. I don't think it is anything that you need to be too worried about, though."

You feel a little better after revealing some of your dream but still uneasy with the entire content of the dream. You look at Loki and know that he is sincere in his level of concern regarding the cause of the dream, but you still feel that something isn't right with Loki. 

" Loki, are you positive you are Ok? I just get a feeling you're not telling me something."

Loki stands up an walk back to pick up his book. He doesn't look at you but says.
"No, I'm fine really. You don't need to worry about me Pet."

"Ok, if you say so. I have some work to do in the lab. If you find anything let me know please?"

"It may take me a few days and I might need to travel to Asgard." He says to you.

You get up and walk to the door. You put your hand on the door jam and pause.
"Thank you again for being honest with me Loki. It means a lot."

"You're welcome Lark." His eyes drop knowing he is not being completely honest.

You leave Loki to his research and head down to the lab.
