"Alright guys, training's over!", Tony called and clapped his hands together. It sounded very loud because he still wore his suit.

Everyone gasped of relief and stood up, or wiped their face with their hands or reached for the water bottle. It was a training session that lasted a couple of hours and absolutely every team member was exhausted.

One after the other got out of the training room, Loki walked out in front of me. His usual greasy hair was now a bit damp from sweat, and looking at him one could tell that even him as a life long warrior had a good training. He was also the only person whos smell didn't bother me. My knees were weak and my arms were shaking, so I didn't pay much attention to him either. I walked to my room and started to get out of the sticky clothes.

I thought about the training and how a hot shower would help my muscles to relax. It was just that we had one less shower than we had people living in the Tower, so I had to see if one was free. As I grabbed a towel and my bathrobe, I thought about that I had told Tony repeatedly to get another shower for me (I was the last one to join the team), but he ignored my request until now ... or promised to do it later. Same thing. Maybe it was time to call pepper.

I closed the door of my room behind me and went down the corridor. The room nearest to mine was Loki's, and without thinking, I opened the door.

I looked into his room and immediatly noticed I forgot to knock, because his back faced me and he was only wearing boxershorts. His skin looked like white porcelain, and you could see his muscles move below it when he moved, and his black hair stood out so well, and now that there was silence, he turned around.

My fingers clenched into the towel I was holding when his green eyes darted into mine.

Loki looked at me with a raised eyebrow, then a mischievous glimmer lighted up his eyes and he smirked. "Can I help -"

"SorryIforgottoknock", I pressed out and slammed the door close. I was mortified for a second, then noticed he would probably open the door again. I held my stuff to my chest and ran off to the showers.

I got into the shower as quick as possible and turned the water on, so even if he followed me here I could say I didn't hear him with the water. Then I pressed my hands on my face and hardly managed not to faint from embarassment.

It wouldn't even be that of an embarassing situation if I had responded like a normal human being. I should have just said 'Oh sorry, I forgot to knock, can I use the shower?' or 'Sorry to interrupt you, are you planning to use the shower? You look gorgeous by the way.' But no, my stupid touch starved brain decided to turn into mulch that very second.

And another problem was that it was the god of mischief I just barged in on. There was no way Loki would let that slide and pretend it never happened. If it was Steve, sure. Bruce even would have been embarassed himself! But Loki? No, he would be making comments, smirk at me with that stupid hot teasing sparkle in his eyes ... The image of him standing naked in my doorway, saying 'Sorry, I forgot to dress' sneaked into my mind.

I forcefully took my hands off my face and leaned my head back, allowing the hot shower to relax my body. How would it feel if he was with me in the shower? This sleek body slightly behind me, his fingers gliding over my hips, and me being able to turn around to touch and kiss this god ...

I sighed, feeling hot and cold from the attraction and embarassment. What had I done.

I let the shower calm me down a bit and felt much better after getting rid of the sticky sweat from training. I hopped in my bathrobe, got dressed in my room and picked up my book. Then I went to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

I read for a couple of minutes, then Loki came in and lied down on the sofa opposite of me. He also carried a book, but didn't seem too interested in reading. His glance wandered to me and I felt how my cheeks slowly turned a deep red.

"Was there anything special you wanted in my room earlier?", he asked in this deep, velvety voice that could make me kneel.

"Oh, no, that wasn't important", I said with a dry mouth, shrugging very consciously. "I just wanted to know if the shower is occupied."

"Very well then. I hope it didn't make you uncomfortable that I wasn't dressed. It seemed like it really ... tensed you up."

The red reached my ears. "No no, not at all."

Loki chuckled. "Oh, that's good, because I think it's pretty warm in here. Do you mind ...?"

I swallowed and shook my head. Loki's shirt vanished and now the whole beauty of his naked upper body was visible. I swallowed again. Loki opened his book and started to read. I tried to focus on my own book, but the letters just wouldn't make sense. My glance shifted from them to the edge of my book, and to Loki's chest. It really was like out of porcelain, so smooth and soft, and still muscly. Not like Thor, but more subtle, he didn't come across as an unmovable rock, but a flexible and firm body. I wanted to know how it felt kissing his soft flawless skin. And his sleek hair shimmered in the sun, his face looking more divine than ever, with his green eyes ...

"You know what? I will get myself a cup of tea", Loki said and closed the book.

I flinched a little and tried to act like I didn't look. Loki got up and walked around the sofa, then he came to a halt behind my armrest. He put his hand on my shoulder. "I forgot to ask. Do you also want one?"

"N-no", I said, desperate to sound normal. My heart rate just rose a whole lot and his cool fingers on my shoulder were responsible for that.

"Anything else you would like?" Loki smirked. He bent down and propped himself up on the armrest.

His face was pretty close to mine, compared to before. His mischievous smirk had turned to a teasing grin, he didn't even hid his thoughts anymore. "I have the feeling you do want something else." Loki's glance wandered to my lips. "You know ...", he said and shifted in position, "maybe you shouldn't lie to the god of lies, darling. Especially when your face likes to ... blush."

My cheeks burned like on command. My heart pounded in my chest, clearing all rational thoughts out of my mind. I knew I did underestimate my attraction to Loki all these weeks since I moved in the Tower. I didn't think about it. And now it carried me off my feet. I also knew I would do anything to get him closer to me. This sharp, mischievous personality, his humour, and his ability to find a weak spot and torment it with just the right pressure. Loki was way more to me than I realized.

"Oh, are you really speechless?", he grinned. "Do you say I make you nervous? You know, as the god of lies I can see when you lie, I can see when you tell the truth, and it tells a lot more if someone doesn't want to answer. All I have to do is ask." He paused to examine my face once more. Then he spoke in a rough voice: "Do you want to feel me, (y/n)?"

A shudder ran over me, his words hit me like an electric shock down my spine. "Yes", I said.

"Mhm", Loki hummed. He smirked to let me descend into my embarassment once more. "See, just ask next time. After all, I found your expression to my nakedness as arousing as you found me." And he bent down to kiss me.

My stomach fell and fell, it wouldn't stop. Loki climbed over the armrest, straddling me, my book fell on the ground. I didn't really notice, I was too occupied with the seething excitement inside me. Loki never stopped the kiss, he pulled me closer, entangling his hand in my hair. I did the same, digging my fingers through his black hairdo, slightly moaning and pulling at his outfit.

I pulled back a few centimeters, suddenly feeling his hot breath on my face. "I want to feel more of you", I panted.

He smiled almost sheepishly, then the smugness came back. With a green flash of light, we were in his bedroom. "Much better, I agree", Loki mumbled before kissing me again.
