an: i regret nothing. lol sorry this isn't as detailed as the previous chapter...but i just got so nervous. xD

Yes, he rather did like seeing Thor bound to his bed. And the collar was a nice addition. Loki bit Thor's collarbone before sucking hard enough to leave a mark. He'd rather do so on a more visible part of Thor's person, but the collar was in the way. Ah, well. Sacrifices must be made.

"Brother?"

"Hm?" Loki responded, shifting to do the same to the other clavicle.

"What…what if you're exiled?"

Loki blinked and pulled back so he was sitting on Thor's stomach. "Then I am exiled. Nothing can be done about it."

"And what of us?"

Loki remained silent, watching his brother. It was odd, thinking of Thor looking vulnerable. But at this moment, he very much so looked it. And it had nothing to do with Thor being naked and bound. Thor was scared, not of his current predicament, but of losing Loki. Thor had done so much before without hesitation. He had run into so many battles, no thoughts of what if. But here, this very moment, as he looked up at him with that wide eyed stare Loki had seen only once before…he was terrified. Loki smiled and leaned down to kiss him softly. "If it comes to that, we'll worry about it then. For now, though, I am going to make you respond in non coherent sentences."

Thor gave a low laugh. "You'll have to work for it."

"Work for it! Was that a challenge? Slaves should not be issuing challenges."

"Then perhaps an incentive. If you can't please me, then maybe Fandral or Hogun can. Maybe even Volstagg."

"No. They can't touch you. You're mine," Loki growled.

"Then prove it."

Oooh, Loki was gonna wipe that smirk off Thor's face. Loki shifted back, raking his nails along the blonde's side, adding a touch of chill to his fingertips. Thor seemed to enjoy it because his eyes closed and his head dropped back. Loki leaned over the bed to paw through the black bag gull of toys Thor had brought b back from latest trip to Midgard on SHEILD business. He pulled out a tube and checked the label to make sure he had the right one before moving back so he was between Thor's legs. Loki suspected Thor had no idea what he was getting himself into when he said he should prove it. Well, he was about to find out. He squeezed out some lube onto his fingers and smiled at the startled squeak that escaped Thor as he slid a finger into him.

"I told you we were going to do this," Loki said as if this were something of a discussion on par with the weather. Thor was glaring at him, no doubt uncomfortable with his position and Loki was sure the blonde would have moved if he could. But Thor had previously any attempt at escape would be futile.

"I hate you, brother." He gritted his teeth as another finger was inserted.

"Ah, but you will be screaming my name in no time," Loki replied with a bright smile. "And you should be grateful that I'm taking the time to do this. I would feel ever so guilty if I hurt you."

Thor barked out a short laugh and started talking about…something; Loki wasn't paying any attention. After all, whatever it was Thor was saying, it wasn't of any importance at this particular point in time. Loki was far too busy slicking himself up and…taking the plunge, as it were. Which promptly shut Thor up. Mission accomplished.

"Feel free to start making incoherent noises any"—accentuated with a hard thrust—"time." Loki continued to thrust into the surprising well suited body for these actions. Who'd have thought? Loki certainly hadn't. A shame, really. So many lost opportunities over the years. "Are you enjoying this, Thor?"

"Just shut up and fuck," he growled, eyes once again shut and head back.

My, Thor was just full of surprises tonight.

Since Loki had no intention of stopping any time soon, he continued his pounding. It took him a moment to realize…Thor was indeed going to make him work for it. Well, damn. So Loki grabbed Thor's cock and timed the pumps with his thrusts. Finally, Thor was panting and moaning when Loki hit that particular spot inside him. Loki couldn't help the grin as he brought Thor to the edge and pushed him over. The hot liquid hitting his hand caused a chain reaction resulting in Loki achieving his own orgasm, cumming inside Thor.

Loki slumped against Thor, bare chests finally making contact. He just…needed a moment…to catch his breath.

"Loki," Thor said softly after some time. "My arms hurt."

Right. Loki moved to undo the bindings on Thor's wrists and ankles so he could finally move the limbs and ease the muscles. Loki was silent as Thor took the initiative and begun to clean them both up with a wet clothe.

Thor was talking again, but Loki didn't hear him. He was trying to come to terms with his situation. They way Thor had looked, the way he was reacted to Loki's touch, voice. Loki was unprepared for what it had stirred in him. He glanced at Thor…and he saw it: the love and adoration Thor felt for him.

The love and adoration Thor had always felt for his brother.

Hopefully…Odin wouldn't exile him.
