Chapter 10

The next day, the sun shone brightly through the large bedroom window, with the sound of the waves crashing to the shore directly outside. Jane and Thor were still in each other's arms, both sleeping comfortably. Jane slowly opened her eyes and saw the blond Adonis resting directly in front of her. Smiling, she reached over and brushed a few stray tendrils out of his face. Thor's eyes fluttered open from her touch.

"My love," he whispered, smiling back at her.

Jane continued stroking his hair and beard. "Good morning, my handsome prince."

"According to your clock, it is midday."

Jane turned around looked at the alarm clock on the nightstand. Sure enough, it read 12:05. "Wow," was all she could manage to get out. She hadn't slept in this long in ages.

"Jane?" Thor asked, with a grin on his face and a gleam in his eye.

Jane smiled back at him, sure of what he was about to ask. "Yes, Thor?"

"May we make love again?"

Jane laughed and shook her head. "I've created a monster."

Thor chuckled and gently palmed Jane's covered hip, giving it a playful shake. "An insatiable monster."

"I'm really hungry. Don't you want breakfast first?"

Thor thought about it for a second. "I could use some sustenance," he said.

Jane got out of bed, tying the bedsheet over her body, and Thor followed suit, not bothering to get dressed. They headed downstairs to the kitchen, hand in hand. Breakfast began quiet and pleasant, but Jane could hardly keep her composure eating in front of Thor in all his glory. Thor himself had to use every bit of his willpower to not rip the bedsheet from Jane's tiny frame and take her right there on the kitchen counter. However, he soon succumbed to lust, and did just that.

They spent the rest of the day christening every room in the house and fulfilling every erotic desire, only stopping occasionally to eat and sleep. Jane still had a hard time believing that he just lost his virginity the previous night, given his amazing ability to make her come, as well as his voracious appetite. The two of them even had an extremely intense lovemaking session on the beach. Jane had never had sex out in the open, and although she knew the beach was private, the idea of being completely exposed and possibly being caught by either Derek or Jonathan gave her a thrill. Once they both reached their release, Jane could've sworn she heard small thunder claps in the distance. It was one the most amazing things she ever experienced.

Neither of them wanted the idyllic weekend to be over, but before they knew it, Monday had come. They cleaned up the house as best they could so the maids wouldn't think the worst of them, and flew back to London together, still unable to keep their hands off each other. They were still flirting and kissing when they reached the flat later in the day. They were so occupied with Frenching in the doorway, that it took a moment to register that Darcy, Ian and Erik were nowhere to be found.

"Hello?" Jane called out, after breaking her kiss with Thor. There was no answer. They both walked into the flat, with Thor closing the door behind him.

Jane dropped her bag near the couch. "Maybe Darcy and Ian are still out and Erik's at SHIELD," she said with a shrug as Thor dropped his own bags near the door and placed Mjolnir on the coat rack.

He walked over to Jane and pulled her close to him, kissing her again. "Perhaps we can adjourn to your chambers."

Jane laughed. "It's the middle of the day, Thor."

Thor kissed her again. "We don't have much time until they return," he said, completely ravenous. "And I must possess you utterly."

Jane giggled as Thor lifted her off the floor and began kissing her as if he hadn't seen her for a year. She returned he kisses while wrapping her legs around his waist. As Thor's hands explored Jane's torso underneath her shirt, they heard a noise from the back of the flat.

"God, I hope that's not the maintenance man again," Jane huffed.

Thor lowered Jane to the floor and grabbed Mjolnir in case something was amiss. When the voices came closer to the living room, Thor and Jane noticed that they belonged to a man and woman…an older man and woman.

Erik soon emerged, wearing a white tank top and pajama bottoms, holding hands with a beautiful blonde woman that appeared to be in her mid to late forties, wearing nothing but Erik's dress shirt. Thor couldn't help but smile at the sight.

"Erik?" Jane asked in disbelief.

Erik beamed upon seeing them. "Thor! Jane! You're back! How was your trip?"

"It was life changing," Thor answered. "You must introduce us to your friend."

Erik chuckled. "Oh, my manners! Thor, Jane; this is Lysette. She lives on the second floor. She needed my help with some groceries the other day, and I ended up inviting her over for tea."

Jane grinned. "I see."

Lysette smiled and shook Jane's hand. "Jane, I've heard so much about you. It's nice to finally meet you." She then turned to the handsome Asgardian standing beside Jane and extended her hand to him. "And Thor! I've heard a lot about you too, but I've known about you for some time now."

Thor gingerly shook her hand, blushing. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Just then, Darcy and Ian arrived, laughing amongst themselves. Once she saw Jane, Darcy ran up to her and gave her a hug while Ian and Thor shook hands. "Jane! I have to tell you about our weekend, but first you've gotta give me every detail-"

Darcy cut herself off once she saw Lysette standing beside Erik with her hands wrapped around his waist. "Well," Darcy remarked, looking at Lysette interlock her arm with Erik's. "Looks like everyone got a little lucky this weekend."

Erik blushed. "Lysette, these are the interns I told you about. Darcy and Ian, this is Lysette, our neighbor."

"It's nice to meet you both," Lysette said.

"Hi, neighbor," Darcy chimed before turning to Erik. "Erik, is there anything you'd like to share with us this afternoon?"

"Actually, yes there is, and I'm glad you're all here for me to say it," Erik said. "I'm moving out."

Everyone was taken aback. "What?" Jane asked. "Why?"

Erik shrugged. "Quite frankly, it's getting to be a little bit crowded in here. I know how badly you all want your own space."

"Erik, you don't have to do this," Jane said.

"Yes, I do. I mean, just look at what happened this weekend. You all had to go away just to spend some quality time with each other. Tony Stark can't organize romantic getaways all the time. You all should be able to have some time to yourselves. So, I'm moving to another flat."

"To Lysette's flat?" Darcy asked.

Erik and Lysette laughed. "Oh, no!" Erik said. "I have to admit though, it was Lysette's idea. She told me about the empty flat downstairs. I'll be moving there. I'll still be in the building, and I'll still be available to do research until we move to another location."

"So you'll still have dinner and breakfast with us every day, right?" Darcy asked.

Erik smiled warmly. "Sure."

"You'll also be available for me to pop in every now and again," Lysette said, playfully stroking Erik's chin.

Erik responded by caressing her cheek. "Of course."

Jane walked over to Erik and hugged him. "Thank you."

Erik smiled and stroked Jane's hair. "You're very welcome."

Thor walked over and placed his hand on Erik's shoulder. "This was very noble of you, my friend."

Darcy wrapped her arms around Ian's waist. "That means we can rethink our sleeping arrangements."

"I'd love that," Ian responded.

He leaned down to kiss her, but Darcy broke free from him. "But before we do that, Jane, you've got to tell me what went on between you and Thunder Pants!" Darcy said, quickly grabbing Jane by the hand and dragging her to the bedroom.

Later that night, Jane laid in bed, sleeping happily under the covers. She turned over and woke up once she realized that her Asgardian prince was no longer by her side. Erik had decided to spend the night at Lysette's, and Ian and Darcy took his room, while Jane insisted that Thor take up residence in her bedroom. This time around, Thor made no objections, and once night fall came, he promptly finished what he started earlier that day before being interrupted.

Jane sat up, her eyes searching for her warrior. She found him standing by the window, completely naked and basking in the moonlight. He seemed to be deep in thought as he stared out towards the London street.

"That's a vision," Jane said, breaking Thor from his contemplation. He turned to her and smiled, as she wrapped the sheet around her nude form and stood next to him.

Jane sweetly kissed his bicep as Thor wrapped his arms around her waist. "A penny for your thoughts?" she asked.

Thor tilted his head in confusion. "You want currency for my thoughts?"

Jane giggled. "No, that's just an expression. It basically means, 'tell me what you're thinking.'"

Thor gave a small chortle and looked back out the window, remaining silent for a few moments. "I may have to leave again," he finally said.

Jane looked up at him, her smile completely faded. "What?"

Thor looked down at her. "Some time soon…I may have to leave you."

"When?"

"I'm not sure when, but I feel that it will be very soon. While I was with the metal man, he mentioned that some of the rouge HYDRA agents within SHIELD had confiscated Loki's scepter, and have plans to use it. SHIELD is currently tracking its beacon to locate it. When we do, I must go with the metal man and the other Avengers to retrieve it and take it back to Asgard."

He paused for a second, before speaking again. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you before. I wanted to you to enjoy our weekend together. Besides, after some time, I became…distracted."

Jane chuckled humorlessly and lowered her head as she felt tears welling up in her eyes. "I always knew this day would come. It's just that we finally had a chance to really be with each other and now you have to leave again. I don't know how long it'll be before I see you again."

Thor tilted Jane's head up to look up at him. "Jane, you must know that no matter what happens, I will return to you, as I have always returned to you. We are forever linked to each other, body and soul. I am yours."

Jane smiled despite the tears running down her face. "And I'm yours."

Thor stroked the side of her face and lowered his head down to kiss her. "But I'm not leaving yet," he said once he parted his lips from hers. "And while I'm here, I shall make the most of every day with you."

He wiped her tears away as Jane beamed up at him. Thor kissed her lips once more, this time making the kiss even longer and harder. "Jane?" he asked once they broke the kiss.

"Yes?"

"May we make love again?"

Jane laughed. "Yes. We can make love again."

Thor smiled and backed Jane towards the bed, lowering her on it once she was close enough. He removed the sheet from her body and climbed on top of her, staring into her eyes. Jane reached up and ran her tiny fingers through Thor's long hair. "I love you, Thor," she said, returning his gaze.

"I love you, Jane."

After slipping on the last Magnum he had left, Thor kissed Jane deeply and slowly slid himself inside of her, taking her to Valhalla all over again.
