Snowfall

Bubble Bath

"Percy? Why do you have a bottle of 'Bubble Bath' in here?" Thalia called out to Percy. She was in his cabin bathroom, looking curiously at the container sitting on the side of his bath.

Percy peeked his head in. "Tyson gave it to me. I figured why not keep it?"

"You used it yet?" Thalia asked, picking it up to take a closer look.

"Nope. Haven't got the chance to take an actual bath in a while. You wanna be the first?" Percy suggested, figuring she could take it with her. Not like he would miss it.

"Why not?" To his surprise, she set the bottle down and shed her shirt right there in front of him. He gaped at her, stammering to speak but unable to form a full word. Thalia chuckled. "What? Never seen a girl shirtless before?"

"Here?" Percy said incredulously. "I figured you would take it with you. You're not even kicking me out?"

"No," she said, sidling closer to him. She took his chin in her hand and pressed herself against him. "Do you want me to?"

"But, but," he spluttered, and Thalia only smirked.

She leaned up to his ear and murmured quietly, her lips brushing ever so slightly on his earlobe. "Will you stay and enjoy this with me?"

He found himself nodding to her, agreeing to her request. Her smirk never left as she stepped back and then stepped out of her leggings. Percy found himself admiring her slender, muscled body, his eyes travelling up her smooth legs and her well-built torso. She didn't make any moves to remove any other articles of clothing.

"Well? Your turn." Percy blushed fiercely at her words, but discarded his shirt and pants. Thalia took her turn to look upon his body. He looked just as strong as he was, and it was beautiful. She knew that she couldn't turn back now.

She started the water, making sure to pour in some of the concoction. Percy moved to enter but Thalia stopped him. "Not yet," she said, and then unclasped her bra. Percy's jaw dropped. He openly stared at her chest, his eyes travelling over the exposed skin of her breasts. Her grin stayed in place and she slowly nudged his jaw back up. "We're not done yet." She ever so slowly, so excruciatingly slowly, dropped her undergarments.

Percy was slowly processing the fact that Thalia now stood fully naked in all of her glory, directly in front of him. His mind practically shut down, and he could only stare at her fully exposed body. Thalia stepped closer, hooking a finger around the hem of his boxers and tugging down slightly. He understood the queue and dropped the article, watching as Thalia eyed him just as he had her.

She then stepped as close as could be allowed and pulled him into a hot, searing kiss. It was full of passion and lust and unmistakable want. Percy gasped as he felt her breasts press against his chest, giving Thalia entrance to his mouth. Their tongues battled for dominance and Thalia pushed him towards the almost full tub. Percy scooped her up and stepped back into the water, controlling it to reach up and turn off the faucet.

Thalia broke the kiss, sinking down and pulling Percy with her. She pushed Percy against the side of the tub and kissed him again, even better than the first now that they both knew what they were doing. Percy dragged his lips off of hers and nipped at her collarbone, drawing a gasp from the daughter of Zeus.

"Are you sure?" He mumbled against the skin of her neck.

Thalia was panting, her hands entangled in his hair, and she only tugged him closer and breathed "Yes."

Percy kissed her again. And again. And again. Over and over until his lips felt like they were on fire.

It was from her that he learned to be loved.
