Adrian felt the blood rushing away from his head. "Oh, god."

“Oh, don’t look so disappointed. We can do that part in good time if you behave yourself-“

"Behave myself? How do you want me to behave-"

“You still haven’t told me what you want. That’s-“
He jerked Adrian’s head back and pressed the knife hard enough to draw a little trickle of blood.
“-not helping your case.”

They were in very new, unstable territory now, but insofar as he could think about it, he thought that the worst that could happen would be for Loki to walk out on him mid... something. And suddenly even the thought of Loki leaving him wanting, red-faced from the humiliation of having wanted it in the first place, was contributing to the uncomfortable pants situation he was in.
"Very well. I... want you to.... Nng. Get out of my office and back to your wife - she must miss you."

Loki’s mouth twisted, and in throwing him down again he actually slashed along the underside of Adrian’s jaw, scarcely noticing that he had. That one hadn’t been planned.
“Fine,” he said. “Go finish yourself off, you wretch. I’m sure more than a few of your guests downstairs will find this whole story terribly entertaining-“

"Oh, I'm sure you plan to walk right in," said Adrian, a bit out of breath as he got to his feet, but clearly enjoying himself, "and tell them all about how you attempted to seduce me by pulling a knife on me. How I told you to get out, but really that meant I wanted it."

“The knife came later,” Loki reminded him.

"Still going to be a frightfully convincing story, isn't it? I dread to know what people will think of me after they hear it."

“Teja will never let you live it down,” Loki said, more than a little baitingly now.

Adrian gave him a Look that could very nearly be described as 'weary'. "Loki, you know her; you married her. She never lets anyone live anything down."

“You’re bleeding,” said Loki, abruptly realizing it.

He touched the wet area, realizing with distaste blood would be on his shirt now. "Ah. If you'll excuse me, I've got to take care of this."
He turned away from Loki without waiting for a response, heading into the bathroom and removing his blazer and his shirt unceremoniously.

Loki followed him, though at this point he was back to business.
“Let me at that, you self-sabotaging ass.”

"I think you've done enough damage tonight, Loki. Go tell your story to your adoring crowd back there."
