Nan stirred in bed as morning light seeped through the sheer curtains on the bedroom window. She opened her eyes and looked over at her sleeping husband. Baldr’s face always looked much younger when he was asleep, and there was a slight smile peaking at the edges of his mouth. She brushed a lock of hair away from his face and he mumbled in his sleep.

She put her head on his shoulder, content to enjoy this quiet moment with him for as long as it lasted. She didn’t fool herself into thinking that by making love with him that it had solved all their problems. She was still hiding a big secret from him and hadn’t quite figured out how to tell him yet. She knew she would have to eventually, but for now she wanted to enjoy her husband while he was still ignorant of the depths of her sin against him. She was certain that Baldr would see it as a betrayal although she hadn’t considered it that when she’d impulsively freed Loki. She hadn’t known that Baldr had built a life for himself here, and she could now see how much the members of the Order meant to him. His work here gave him purpose that he’d never had in Asgard. She could see why he wouldn’t want to give it up.

“It’s too early to have such a serious look on your face,” her husband said beside her, his voice gravelly with sleep. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” she said as she forced her face into a smooth expression, and leaned forward to kiss him.

He avoided her mouth and looked deeply into her eyes. “You don’t regret last night, do you?”

“No,” she said as she reached up to caress his face. Her mind raced to think of something suitable to say to him, something that wouldn’t sound like a lie, but was not what she was thinking about. “I wanted you last night, and I don’t regret a moment of it. I’m just worried that I must go back to Asgard, and I know you can’t come with me. You have a life here, and I can see how important it is to you.”

“How much time do you have?” he asked as his brows drew together and he turned fully toward her.

“I have time yet,” she said.

“We should make the most of your time here, then. Don’t worry about going back right now. A lot can happen in a short amount of time,” he said as he pulled her to him.

As she pressed her body fully against his, she noticed that he hadn’t mentioned her staying with him on a more permanent basis. A small kernel of disappointment curled in her stomach, and she pushed it aside. They were rebuilding what they’d once had, and she couldn’t fault him for wanting to take things one day at a time.

Her disappointment soon disappeared under the magical touch of her husband’s hands and mouth. He brought her to a swift orgasm in the dawn’s early light and soon joined her.
