Oh, please allow me to tempt you with an excerpt... 😈
Iona's head tilted sideways as she stared at Loki in wonder. Her mouth dropped in surprise. The woman in front of her was striking in the same way as her male counterpart was, but still, there was a world of difference.
She had known about the existence of individuals who existed outside the strict definition of gender, but Loki was still... different. He - she - could just change it at will…? It was most unsettling...
"What makes you think that I won't share this information?"
She still didn't understand why Loki was being so honest with her. For weeks he had treated her callously--and she had retaliated in the same vein. Now, he was suddenly entrusting her with this secret?
Loki giggled at the look she made - it was like a befuddled puppy. She couldn’t help it - Iona was so endearing when she was confused.
And the attempted threat glanced off her like water off a duck’s back.
“You could have shared so much more over the past weeks, and you remained discreet. Even I don’t understand it...but maybe someday I will. We will be spending quite a bit more time together very soon, and I want you to understand how much I appreciate your... loyalty .”
Loki wrapped a strand of Iona’s hair around her finger, gently brushing her cheek as she did. Her answering shiver was very telling.
“I’m not all lies and cruelty, my dear. Trickster though I may be, it doesn’t preclude me from being open in the right circumstances. I feel you’ve proven yourself worthy of my trust...for this secret, at least.”
"So, you're constantly testing me, to see if I’ll keep being discreet?" Iona asked softly, moved by her gentle touch. Norns, why did her touch affect her this way? It was so wonderful and tender...
Slowly, her eyes dilated at she regarded Loki in this distinctly familiar, yet unfamiliar form. The feminine features gave him-- her --a softness that was obviously lacking in his male form. Still, Loki was as beautiful as ever.
"And has the test ended now, sire? Can I breathe easy?"
“Please, dear. Call me by my name. I do so love the sound of it coming off your tongue...”
Norns, that husky voice of hers was as hypnotic as his deep baritone.
"Loki," Iona murmured quietly, just as Loki’s long fingers threaded through her hair, cradling her head. "How does that sound?"
Her tone became sultry as she asked that question, her eyes fluttering as Loki came closer. Her resistance to him, or her, for that matter, was slowly eroding, but still, in the back of her mind, she kept wondering if she was making a mistake… if she’d end up getting hurt.
