The moment the door flew open, Loki’s eyes locked with mine.
"So, you came," He smirked as I nodded.
“ Of course, we’re a full-day service. If you need me even after labor hours, I must be here for you. Though I’d appreciate it if this doesn’t become a habit.” I smiled, triggering his gaze to narrow before it traveled to the two intruders nearby.
I hesitated to follow his gaze, knowing they were there.
What a disgrace.
A soft chuckle left his lips before he pulled me into his room. At that moment, even though I didn’t have super hearing, I heard Emma and Zoe gasp behind me when the door slammed closed behind me. Unable to catch myself, I fell against his chest, thanks to the force he had used.
The white blouse he wore had the same cinnamon spice, with a mix of vanilla, as before, which almost overwhelmed my senses. He also wore black sweatpants, which were likely part of his sleepwear, unlike the fancy clothes he had worn this morning.
Though we weren’t alone, I saw Oz from the corner of my eye when Loki yanked me in.
Just what are these two boys planning? I never expected you to yank me in here and isolate me from everyone else!
My nerves skyrocketed, causing me to freeze where I was, unsure of what was going to happen next.
"Yo, your annoying maids are outside. You probably should’ve invited them too, for the fuck of it." Loki informed, holding me close to his chest by the back of my head.
This wasn’t good for my poor maiden heart. I didn’t understand why it was beating like this either. It had never had it before today.
Why is it always you who I end up falling on?!
The way his scent filled me was hitting in places that had never been hit before, leaving me wishing to smell more of him.
Wait... Why did I think that?!? Oh no! Get your head in the game, Vivian!
"Have you seen how those two care for her? They wouldn’t have allowed you to get near her if they were in here too." Oswald said, tapping the writing desk he sat on.
The entire room was furnished with a bed, shelves filled with books, and cabinets filled with clothes, as well as a wardrobe for his fancier attire. There was a king-size bed near the only window in the room. Part of me felt safe and comforted by how Loki’s chest slowly rose and fell with each breath he took.
Ah… This can’t…
Somehow, I found my voice.
"Prince, would you please kindly let me go? You’re suffocating me." I mumbled, trying to keep my emotions internalized.
Why is it so hard to put a mask on when I’m near you?
That was when Loki finally noticed where he had me. Somehow, the vampire hadn’t even perceived I was so close until I spoke. His cheeks turned a light shade of pink when he let me go, shifting his gaze slightly to the side.
Though it was only for a second, I guess the bond between us was powerful.
Holding me so protectively, without even knowing, I have to be more careful.
"Oh, you’re still holding onto character?" Loki quickly recovered from that blunder.
I tilted my head, “Huh?
Character? Is there a play going on? I’m just trying to stay in control. I guess I am. Wait... did you notice? How deep am I in this hole?
For a moment, I felt my heart sink into my shoes.
It can’t be over that quickly. Can it?
Oswald tapped his fingers on the table again.
"Hm... I’m interested in how a pretty girl like you can hold herself together." He announced, catching my attention.
His eyes studied every centimeter of me, leaving me feeling like I was under a microscope. He wasn’t undressing me like that guard from before, but something about him caused shivers to run down my spine.
They won’t dare... Will they? No, this is a test... Surely...
For a moment, I was lost in what was going on, but soon I would find myself.
"Hey, little chick. You’re probably the prettiest girl we have ever laid eyes on. So, I have a special offer for you." Loki traced his hand on my arm, triggering me to gaze at him.
Huh?! When did you… Oh, crap… This can’t be happening. Gerta… When you said…
Those thoughts quickly drowned when I saw a devilish smile rise on his lips as those blueish-purple stares were cold. Turning to face the vampire fully, I stood my ground.
Ah… this is much more than it appears, doesn’t it? Maybe… I should play along for now.
"An offer?" I mumbled, playing into his hand willingly.
Oz got up from the chair, strolling over to me, too, before I suddenly found myself in a sandwich of sorts as he also traced over my other arm.
Hah… These boys—
Before I could finish that thought, Loki grabbed me by my chin, forcing me to face him head-on. However, I wanted to tear my eyes away when Oz held me by my hips, prompting a small gasp to leave me.
"Yeah, I’ve got the perfect offer for you, sweetheart. How about you go into the bathroom and put on what we left there for you? After you do, come back out so you can hear more about it." Loki licked his lips, allowing me to see his fangs for a split second again.
That bite…
Letting go of my chin, I gazed towards where he meant, which was a door not too far away from where we were. Setting me free from their grasp, I took a few steps towards where they wanted me to go, as it was the only way to get away from the two. Passing by the shelves of books, I reached toward the door, unaware of the surprise that awaited me inside.
Opening the room, I stepped outside as the door closed behind me. Shifting my gaze around, I could see it was a luxurious bathroom with a white tub and multiple mirror-like tiles on the walls. The entire place smelled like Loki as my eyes drifted from the sink to where something special was hanging.
My eyes twitched, unable to register completely what I was witnessing.
Oh fuck… Are you serious?! Is that a pink baby doll lingerie?!
Next to them were two small boxes which I hesitated to open, only for my jaw to drop upon seeing what they were.
Huh?! Is that a dildo and a bullet vibrator?!
Even though I had never used a device like it, Lilith had made sure to teach me about sexual encounters and all the fun ways it could be spiced up. I couldn’t help but escape a small laugh the moment I saw the pieces before sitting on the toilet seat, contemplating how I got there.
A smirk rose on my lips upon realizing Gerta was right.
These boys... are fucking insane. If you weren’t my protectors, I’d castrate you for even thinking of defiling me with your mortal germs.
Rolling my eyes, I couldn’t help but shift them back onto the lingerie, which left little to the imagination.
Papa, if these are my protectors, then what will my enemies look like?
A sigh left my lips, trying to control the anger that surged through me.
These two… I won’t let them rattle me, but… that doesn’t mean I can’t have a little fun with these idiots.
Grabbing onto the clothes and boxes containing precious items, I walked outside before throwing the times at them. Loki received the sexy underwear, and Oswald the little fun toys they wished I had used. For a moment, they both looked at each other before locking back on me.
"Thank you for the offer, but I’ll have to decline. It’d be a shame for those to go to waste, so how about you two use them on each other? You’ll have a great time, my princes, and don’t worry, I won’t tell a soul." I smiled, trying to hide my real annoyance that was already tipping.
Had I ever gotten this bothered before? No... these two males are special in that sense. Or perhaps they are just lucky I can’t smite them.
For a moment, the boys fumbled with their words as I turned for the door.
“Now, if you’ll excuse me, I wish you a blissful night.” I huffed, reaching for the door only for the vampire to close the gap between us, wrapping his hand around my wrist.
"Aw, come on, love. You haven’t even heard the offer yet." He announced as Oswald watched from where he sat, placing the boxes on the table.
Be polite.... That’ll piss them off even more than if I explode on them.
The shock from the ring was secondary at this point, as I wished nothing more than to get under their skin like they had done to me. A soft sigh left my lips, turning towards Loki before grabbing onto his shirt and tugging it down toward my level.
Two can play at this game. I may not have any experience, but I damn well know how to—
"I honestly hope—" The moment our lips were only centimeters away, I paused.
If he wanted, he could move away in the blink of an eye, yet instead, he carefully observed me.
A smile crept up on my lips, letting him go. "You princes have fun, whatever you have planned tonight. As to your offer, I don’t need to hear it to know I want nothing to do with it.”
The moment those words left my lips, a playful smirk rose on his lips as he grabbed me by my dress before suddenly shoving me into the soft bed. Before I could recover from the fall, the moment I turned, he pinned me onto the sheets below, straddling me as Oz sat back on the chair, watching from the side.
In seconds, I went from victorious to a lamb in a lion's den.
