Thor glanced in amusement at the colors which had been chosen especially for the party. He knew without a doubt that Garnet was responsible for this, she had probably been mad at his disappearance and she wanted to upset him by choosing his least favorite colors, he wondered what other special considerations she had made for the party on his behalf. Well two could play this game that she wanted to play, he was very happy to oblige her.Garnet bit her lip and wondered about the wisdom of her little childish tantrum, of course Thor’s watchful eyes had not missed her special touch on the decor. Now that he was here she no longer thought that it was a good idea but she straightened her back and decided to stand by her decisions even if they came back to bite her. There was a little Orchestra band which had set up on a platform that had been created for them and were playing some music. Garnet pretended not to notice the raised eyebrow Thor had sent in her direction and turned with a smile

Ignoring the guests curious glances at them Thor took Garnet up to their room and dropped her on her feet and Immediately he did that she rushed back into his arms, startling him with the fierceness of her touch and hug.“What are you doing?” He said as he put his hands on her shoulders and tried to pull her away but she stuck to him like glue.“Please touch me, relieve this fire, please I beg you Thor.” She moaned feverishly while struggling to loosen his tie then proceeding to the buttons of his shirt.Thor grabbed a hold of her hands and stopped her from proceeding and she looked pitifully at him for a moment before rising to her feet and trying to kiss him. He was stunned by her behavior but he held her down to prevent her from kissing him.He had thought that all her theatrics was just because she wanted to distract him from what she had been doing in the garden but her actions made him realize it was more than that. The Garnet he knew would never throw herself in his arms and beg

A mug of lukewarm coffee sat untouched in Garnet’s hand, the steam swirling into the air like wisps of guilt. Shame gnawed at her insides, its acidic bite worse than any hangover she had ever experienced.Yesterday, fueled by a concoction of paranoia and anger, she had accused Bill of drugging and taking advantage her. The words, harsh and accusatory, hung in the air like thunderclouds, threatening to unleash a storm of righteous anger. But the storm never came. Thor as usual, calm and unflinching even in the most treacherous moments had simply gone and gathered all the evidence he could find and displayed it before unceremoniously kicking Laverne out of their lives. After that he had disappeared, leaving her to wonder where he had gone and she had gone home after work waiting for him to return. She had spent all night pacing about and wondering where he was. The truth had at last laid to rest the seed of paranoia which had taken root deep in her mind from the first time she had met

Edward’s knuckles were white as he gripped the file folder, the weight of its contents pressing down on him. He had spent days hunched over dusty ledgers, blurry surveillance footage, and cryptic emails which had eventually painted a picture, a dark canvas splattered with the names of the some of the elite of the city, The Big Tree they called themselves. The very organization That Thor had seen among the box in his grandfather’s home which had held some of the momentos of his parents lives. He had not known what to expect but surely not this, its tendrils weaving through business deals gone sour, livelihoods shattered, and in Bill's case, lives stolen.Thor sat across from him, eyes expectant and afraid of what the thick folder held. It had been weeks since Edward had gone on this fact finding mission and he had been worried about him but Edward was a capable man and he had proved that by coming back not just unharmed but with the fruits of his labor. The fire crackled in the hearth

“I am sure it is perfect!” Garnet squeaked and ran out of his office before he could insist.The thought of being in that room with all those toys made her skin tingle. Ever since that night she found herself getting lost in her fantasies about Thor and even though he never tried to share the bed with her she realized that she craved his touch and it embarrassed her.She just could not understand how he was acting calm in the face of the destruction being wrought on his company. Titan Industries was the trending topic everyone.*The polished mahogany doors of the auction house loomed before Garnet as she paced through the hallway. A tremor of unease ran down her spine, recently she had thought that she and Thor were getting better in their relationship but he suddenly seemed to withdraw from her without any cause. He had been the one to inform her that they would be attending this auction for the Cheryl Buck Charity and now he was the one running late. She hated to be alone at these
