In Time to Love

by Gloria Martin

  “Very funny,” Alexis pouted but it was quickly kissed away. The mortal woman shivered a little as firm hands moved down over her body.

  “I’ve never been with a woman...” she mumbled sheepishly. Loki smiled.

  “If I had my magic I’d show you a really fine time, but don’t fret, I can still make you feel good without it,” Loki whispered, snatching one of Alexis’ nipples between her teeth. She sucked and licked at the pert nub of flesh causing Alexis to let out a little cry of both pleasure and pain.

  “L-Loki!” she gasped out, gripping handfuls of long red hair. Loki smirked and began to place kisses further down her body. When she reached her hips she nipped lightly before she pulled down her underwear.

  “What is the purpose of these garments?” she asked. “You have to undress twice. It makes little sense to me.”

  Alexis chuckled a little. She supposed Loki had a point, but she didn’t have time to dwell on it as a hot tongue suddenly violated her most intimate of places.

  “Loki!” she squeaked in surprise. The god pushed her legs apart gently and dug her tongue in deeper. His tongue was quick, and dug in deep. Soon Alexis found herself moaning and panting, gripping at her bed sheets desperately. Her hips ground upward, whimpering cutely. She seemed to recall Loki being called ‘Silvertongue’. She had always assumed it just meant he was persuasive, which Loki was, but this brought a new meaning. She couldn’t last long. It only took a matter of minutes for her orgasm. Loki smirked with satisfaction, but then pouted. Her own body was still hot and needy now. Alexis sat up.

  “Let me show you some magic from our world,” she said. She reached into her bedside drawer and pulled out a blue vibrator. She pressed Loki back onto the bed none too gently and turned the vibrator on, rubbing it against her pussy which was already wet and near dripping. Loki’s eyes widened.

  “Wh-What magic is this?” she whimpered, her hips jutting upward to get more of the tingly feeling.

  “Midgard magic,” she said with a smirk, rubbing the vibrator over the sensitive area. Loki had never felt this way before. She had never had any magic used on her before, but the tingling sensations were very similar to a magic spell. It was too much. She bit her bottom lip.

  “Nnngh!” she whined. “A-Alexis... so good... what... what are you doing to me??”

  Alexis gently pushed the vibrator all the way inside and Loki whimpered. It hurt a little but also felt good as the Midgardian woman fucked her with the toy. Alexis had never done this before, but the sight of Loki panting and whimpering was turning her on all over again. She rubbed herself as she fucked her.

  “Almost there, Loki?” she asked.

  “Ah! Ah... y-yes... Ah... I... I can’t hold on...” Loki whined.

  “Let it go,” Alexis told her. Loki cried out as she orgasmed. Alexis also orgasmed with a little sigh. It felt so good. She laid herself beside Loki, her head on top of Loki’s ample bosom.

  They lay that way for a while, until around 8:00pm. Alexis gently shook Loki.

  “Wake up,” she said. “It’s time to go.”

  “Already?” Loki whined. She wanted to keep sleeping. She was tired after the sex.

  “Come on, lazy bones,” Alexis said, getting up and redressing.

  Loki sighed and slipped into her green dress.

  “Odin always said green was my color. It matches my eyes,” Loki said. “Everyone thinks I am handsome up in Asgard.”

  “You sure that’s not just your ego?” Alexis asked. “We have to stop at Walmart for the chuck roast.”

  “What is a Walmart?” Loki asked curiously.

  “It’s a place to buy things you need,” Alexis tried to explain.

  “Like a market place?” Loki asked. “It has been long since I’ve been to a market.”

  “Well... sort of... I don’t think it’ll quite be how you expect,” Alexis said. “Come on, we need to take the car.”

  Loki didn’t like the car, but she consented. The driving made Loki feel a little bit sick. By the time they got to Walmart, Loki was looking a little green. Alexis frowned.

  “Maybe I should get you something for the motion sickness too,” she said with a frown.

  “Where is the market?” Loki looked around.

  “It’s inside that building,” said Alexis, pointing to the large building. She took Loki by the hand and led her inside. She got a shopping cart and led her through the store. Loki was confused. All the merchants were in the front of the building and nowhere near their merchandise. How did they prevent stealing?

  “This is an odd market place,” Loki said.

  “I told you it would be different,” Alexis told her. “Markets have sort of evolved since the old days.”

  “But how can you be sure no one is stealing the goods?” Loki asked, hands on her hips.

  “The goods have a special code on them. If someone walks out without paying for them, an alarm will sound.” Alexis told her.

  “Well how do the merchants know what is theirs to sell?” Loki asked. “This place is enormous!”

  “It just doesn’t work that way anymore,” Alexis said as she pushed the cart. “Meat is this way. It’s kind of like this. There’s a big important merchant who owns everything. He pays these merchants to sell his things for him because he doesn’t have time. They get paid for selling the items and he gets paid for the items.”

  “That seems like a lot of hassle. He should just sell his things himself,” Loki said. Alexis smiled softly.

  “Yes, he should, but he doesn’t,” she said. She led him over to the meat department.

  “You can pick out one,” she said. Loki began to carefully inspect these plastic-wrapped cuts of meat. Not many of them looked as fresh as what she was used to.

  “Where do they butcher the animals? In the back?” she asked, looking around. She didn’t hear any sounds of animals.

  “They don’t butcher them here. That’s too expensive. They wrap them up tight to keep them fresh and we buy these packages.” Alexis explained. This was becoming tedious. Loki carefully inspected every piece of meat before deciding on a roast. It was over twenty dollars but if they really summoned a giant serpent it would be worth it.

  She took Loki to the snack department next. She bought trail mix, snack cakes and potato chips before finally stopping by the medicine to pick up something for Loki’s motion sickness since the car disagreed with her so. Loki peered at the medicines. Most of them came in tiny little pills and capsules. This was very strange indeed. She had never seen medicine like this before.

  “Oops! I forgot to pick up some bottled water.” Alexis said. She turned the cart around and went back near the snacks and over to the drinks where there were 12-packs of water.

  “Why do you buy your water in these flasks? Why not get it from a river for free?” Loki asked.

  “River water around here is too dirty to drink,” Alexis said. “Come on, I have to pay for this and then we can go.”

  Loki smiled. She was very excited to see Jormungand. She hadn’t seen him in so long it felt like an eternity. She hoped that he would recognize her. She felt almost certain he would, but what Alexis said did concern her. And what if he didn’t come at all? It would nearly break her heart.

  Alexis paid for the goods. Loki found the paper money very silly. Gold and silver was what they should be paying with, but she kept her comment to herself.

  They went back to the car. Alexis gave Loki one of the tiny motion-sickness pills and bottle of water.

  “Don’t chew it,” she told her. “Swallow it with some water.”

  Loki obeyed. The taste of the medicine was very bitter on her tongue. She made a face.

  “Yeah, you’re supposed to swallow it quickly so you don’t get much of that taste,” Alexis said as she pulled out of the parking lot and headed for the ocean.

  “It tastes terrible!” Loki said. Alexis couldn’t help but laugh. She gave her one of the snack cakes to help get rid of the taste. Loki looked at th
e plastic-wrapped cake.

  “It’s so pretty,” she said. “Who makes them?”

  “Machines make them. Zebra cakes are my favorite. Pull apart the plastic. You can’t eat that clear stuff around it.” Loki looked confounded by the plastic wrap. “You just... you just pull it apart at the seam. Ugh! Give it to me.”

  Alexis took the cake, continued to steer with her wrists and opened the cake. She gave it back to Loki. The smell of sugar filled Loki’s nostrils. She had always been fond of sweets, but this was something she had never seen before. She took a small bite and her eyes lit up with delight. It was sweet and creamy.

  “Delicious! What a delicacy!” Loki exclaimed and demanded another. Well before they reached the shore, the entire box was gone and Loki was licking her fingers of the white and black icing.

  “Wow, you really can eat, huh?” Alexis commented. Loki grinned.

  “I once almost won an eating contest against fire itself,” she said. “I was mightily sick after that.”

  “I imagine so,” Alexis said, hiding her smile.

  “Do you doubt it?” Loki asked.

  “Well, you are the god of lies. And you come from a culture where boasting is quite common,” Alexis told her. She parked her car near the pier. Loki was excited. She grabbed the roast and ran out to the edge of the pier.

  “Jormungand!” Loki shouted. She then spoke in a language that sounded Nordic, but Alexis had never heard it before. Loki watched the waters eagerly, but nothing happened. A look of deep disappointment came to her face and she looked like she might cry. Alexis sighed. She supposed Loki was just a crazy lady with strange delusions. But then the waters began to stir. A huge wave crashed onto the pier, nearly knocking Alexis away. A large serpent’s head rose out of the water. It was almost the size of Alexis’ car and she watched in amazement and horror.

  “Father, what have you done to yourssself?” the snake hissed.

  “It wasn’t my doing. The All-father punished me for a little prank I played,” Loki said. She reached out without fear and touched the side of the serpent’s head. The snake leaned into the touch. His tongue flicked out a few times, tasting the air around his father.

  “Daddy brought you a present...” Loki said, revealing the large chunk of meat. “I would have brought you a whole cow, but they don’t sell them around here apparently.” The roast was barely a bite for the great serpent, but he seemed to enjoy it.

  Alexis was still frozen where she stood. Loki went over and dragged her forward. Jormungand’s eyes narrowed at her.

  “You have lain with my father,” he said bluntly. “I can sssmell it on you.”

  “Jormungand, behave,” Loki said sternly. “This is Alexis. She is my Midgard friend and lover. She has been helping me cope.”

  “Poor father. You know very little about thisss modern Midgard,” Jormungand said. “You have not been here in thousssandsss of yearsss”

  “Alexis... you should greet my son,” Loki prodded her.

  “H-Hello,” she said shakily.

  “You are one who wasss filled with doubt,” Jormungand said. “Do you believe my father now?”

  “I...I do,” Alexis said.

  “Goood....” Jormungand bowed his head to her slightly so she might touch him. Loki nodded his approval. She reached out slowly and lightly touched the serpent’s head. He was still wet from the ocean, but not slimy by any means. The great snake seemed to smile. His tongue flicked out and licked her arm. Loki giggled as Alexis pulled away.

  “I think he rather likes you,” she said, coming forward and lovingly petting all over the snake’s head.

  “That’s… good,” said Alexis.

  “How I missed you my son,” Loki said, turning to the snake. “Some day we will all be together again.”

  Alexis felt saddened for this family of monsters. All separated like this, it wasn’t fair, but according to the legends, if they were to be reunited it would be Ragnarok, and the end of both Midgard and Asgard.

  “Loki...” Alexis said softly. “What do you think about... Ragnarok?”

  Loki seemed to freeze.

  “Why do you ask?” she asked her.

  “According to legend, the reunion you just mentioned won’t turn out very well for Earth.” she said.

  “Ragnarok is a cycle, it’s happened before and it will happen again,” Loki said with a sigh. “And each time my children are imprisoned the Asgardians seal their fate.”

  “So it really is you who starts it all... You’ll end this world because of this?” Alexis asked.

  “Wouldn’t you end a world for the sake of your children?” Loki asked. He kissed Jormungand’s giant head.

  “I mussst go father, before I am ssseen,” Jormungand said sadly before disappearing back beneath the water. Loki watched her son go sadly. There were tears in her eyes.

  “You have no idea what it’s like to have your own children torn from you and imprisoned,” she said. “I try not to let them see how deeply it hurts me, but I hate them for it. I hate them so much!”

  Alexis wrapped her arms around Loki.

  “I can’t imagine it,” she admitted. “But that doesn’t mean you should destroy Earth. We haven’t done anything to you.”

  “It is not me who destroys your earth. It is the Asgardians who bring the battle here. It’s not my fault.” Loki said, rubbing her eyes.

  “C’mon, we should get home,” Alexis said. She got Loki back into the car and gave her the container of trail mix to cheer her up. Loki enjoyed the nuts and dried fruit, but the sadness did not go away. The drive home was relatively quiet. The traffic hadn’t really started yet, so it went pretty fast. She was fortunately not teaching today so they both could sleep. She was drenched in ocean water. She wanted a hot shower and a nice rest. Loki pulled off her dress once they were inside, also rather drenched.

  “I wish to bathe,” Loki said.

  “You and me both,” Alexis said.

  “Wonderful, shall we bathe together?” Loki asked. Alexis blushed.

  Loki moved closer, completely naked and pressed herself up against Alexis.

  “The truth is... I’m so grateful to you. For believing in me, even though it seemed impossible. You humored me and took me all the way to the ocean to see my serpent son. Thank you so much. The truth is I’m beginning to like you very much.”

  “What do you mean you ‘like’ me? Like a friend?” Alexis asked, beginning to sweat from nerves as Loki pressed her bosom against her own.

  “I know you are not a fool Alexis,” Loki said. “I told my son you are my lover and that is what you are to me... if you will have me be the same to you?”

  Loki looked at her with her bright green eyes full of hope.

  “This is happening so fast,” Alexis admitted. “It’s making me a little dizzy...”

  “I do not require your immediate answer... though it would be enjoyable to bathe your smooth body. You have such a beautiful body, but you hide it in these baggy tunics. You must have a dress somewhere, I should like to see you in it. But first, shall we bathe or not my love?”

  Alexis stared at Loki, unsure of how to respond. When she was with Loki... she felt different than she had ever felt with anyone. Sure she could be annoying and make ridiculous demands, but deep down she was rather sweet. She had seen that too.

  “Let’s take a bath,” she consented. “I’ll get it ready. Do you like lavender or rose?”

  “I find lavender to be a relaxing scent,” Loki told her. She watched Alexis drop a chalky ball into the water. It immediately began to fizz and bubble, and the scent of lavender filled the room. When it stopped bubbling and the water had filled the tub sufficiently, Alexis took off her drenched clothing, baring her body. She was a little embarrassed as Loki watched her. The god was so comfortable being naked, but she supposed with a body like that anyone could be more comfortable.

  “I wish to bathe you,” Loki said, and stepped into the tub, leading Alexis in as well. Alexis had inherited
the bath tub and it was very out of place in her tiny apartment. It was a big claw-footed tub that made it much easier to fit two. The god moved close and kissed Alexis without hesitation. She swiped her tongue inside the smaller woman’s mouth and ran her hands over her breasts, getting them very soapy.

  “These bubbles smell splendidly,” Loki whispered as she moved down to her neck, hearing Alexis’ breath hitch in her throat.

  “Don’t be shy my love, let me hear your appreciation,” Loki said as he nipped her ear.

  “Ah! Loki!” she gasped. Hesitantly she reached up and grabbed Loki’s breasts. They were big and firm in her hands and felt good as she squeezed them, making Loki moan softly as she ground up against her.

  “I thought we were going to bathe...” Alexis half-panted. Her body jumped nervously as Loki’s hand trailed down her tightly muscled abdomen. She slid her hand down between her legs and pressed a finger inside carefully. Alexis opened like a flower, her legs spread wide for her as she moaned softly.

  “Isn’t this more fun?” Loki asked. “And we will bathe, but we might as well get a little dirtier first.”

  Loki thrust her finger in and out, soon adding a second finger, curling them upward and making Alexis cry out in pleasure.

  “Oh yes!” Alexis moaned, gripping Loki’s messy red hair. “Feels... feels so good... please... a little harder...”

  She was silenced with a kiss as Loki thrust up harder with her fingers. Alexis screamed behind the kiss, her body trembling and her hands pulling at Loki’s hair. Loki groaned, rubbing against Alexis’ thigh, wishing so much she could take her male form. Then they would have some real fun. But then again, this had been very fun as well, and that magical toy that Alexis had used was amazing. Loki began to lovingly wash her lover with a cloth.

  “That feels... soo good...” Alexis said, a little out of it after her orgasm. She was so relaxed and ready for bed. Loki cleansed herself and then wrapped Alexis in a towel and carried her to bed.

  “You’re a lot stronger than you look,” Alexis mumbled, leaning into her. Loki smiled and lay her down before crawling up beside her to rest.
