"You are 21 now, which means-" I cut him off, "It's time for me to get married." He looks stunned as he looks at me. "Mother told me a long time ago that this would happen, I would expect for it to happen sooner or later"

I feel a gentle breeze hit my face, and question the feeling. That's weird, my window is never open in the morning. Then I feel his arms around me and remember our night together. I open my eyes and see Percy's brown eyes looking back at me. "How long have you been awake?" I smile, moving my hands to my hair knowing I look a mess.
"Not long, you looked so peaceful I did not want to wake you." Percy says with a smile and leans in to kiss me, I kiss him back gently.
"I really need to get going or else the whole castle will be looking for me. Thank you for last night. I am glad it was you." My cheeks redden at the things we did, I know I promised father I would wait till marriage. But I wanted it to be Percy, it needed to be Percy.
"I will always be here Artemis, I love you." He kisses me again and I get up and get dressed to leave. He gets up and puts his boxers on, I stop getting dressed to ogle at him a little. He raises an eyebrow at me.
"Are you okay Art?" He says with a smirk.
"Just admiring you." I smile, looking down, blushing. Feeling my whole lower half erupt into butterflies.
"Well drop the dress so I can return the favor." He says, his eyes darkening and roving down my body. I suddenly snap out of my stupor and remember I need to get back to my room.
"Mmm, not a good idea, I gotta go." I mutter, kissing his lips, regretting each word escaping my lips. I hear him sigh as I rush out of his room, and rush back to my bedchamber.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!" Louise yells as soon as I walk in the door. I jump and roll my eyes at her, and rush to my closet and find something to wear for the day.
"None of your concern Lou." I sigh, grabbing a dress and undressing myself out of the clothes I wore yesterday,
"None of my concern? I come in here and your bed has not been slept in and you come in with the same clothes you wore yesterday!" She keeps shouting.
"Lou, be quiet or someone will hear!" I whisper in a shouted tone.
"You were with that boy weren't you?" Louise taps me on the shoulder with my hair brush, and then begins to brush my hair quite roughly. You would think she'd get in trouble for the way she speaks to me, but she doesn't. My father has practically raised her ever since her parents died when she was 5, she's more of a sister to me than a handmaid.
"It is none of your concern." I snap at her, feeling the anger piling on my shoulders.
"I am not stupid Artemis. I know what your father told you last night and I know what you must have done after you heard. That was very stupid of you." She says it with such concern and anger that I wither at her words.
