Her Touch

Percy PoV

I was tired of it. I was tired of all the fighting, being bossed around, being forced to kill other demigods.

But then there was Annabeth. She was the last straw. Annabeth was my one anchor to sanity. Then she left me. She said I was getting too cold, and she left me.

I growled and punched the wall. The wall is pretty simple: it's indestructible, and I punch it when I get angry. It's really important that the wall is indestructible because it would have broken several times over if it weren't.

The cleaning maids were due soon, so I guess I could fuck some for a bit of release.

A timid knock rang on the door. I walked over and opened it to find an auburn-haired, silver-eyed goddess with the looks of Aphrodite at the door. Her powers had been somewhat stripped, but she was still in the goddess category.

I stepped aside and let the maid into the room, closing the door behind her.

"Who're you? How haven't I noticed someone better looking than Aphrodite?"

"A-Artemis, sir," She stuttered.

"Hmm, you still a virgin?"

"Y-yes, sir."

"You wanna change that?"

"N-no th-thank you s-ir."

I stepped closer to her and took her arm. Artemis flinched away, trying to escape my grasp. "Have you ever kissed anyone?"

"N-no, sir."

I pulled her close to me and grabbed her chin, pressing my lips to her. The maid froze. I ran my hands down her backside.

Artemis snapped out of her stupor and scrambled back, landing on my bed.

I grabbed her wrist and pushed her against the wall. "You're put on duty for serving me, clear?"

Artemis nodded and tried to leave. "Okay, sir, may I leave now?"

I kissed her again. "Yes, and send in Aphrodite."

Artemis hurriedly ran out, Aphrodite scurrying in shortly after.

"Hey, Percy, what am I here for today?" Aphrodite asked.

I snorted. "Same as always, Aphrodite." She nodded solemnly.

"So, what're you ranting about today?"

"These fucking voices in my head keep saying I've done the wrong thing!"

"And?"

"They keep popping up, never leaving me to peace!"

"That's not all, is it?" I tense, my fists balling. "I want her."

Aphrodite snorted. "And what's stopping you?"

"She just seems to have this fragile-ness to her," I rumbled.

Aphrodite sighed as another knock rang. She stood up and walked out the other door for occasions like this. If others found out I actually had a soul, my empire could crumble.

I opened the door. "Artemis, what brings you here?"

"Uh, I was just wondering where Aphrodite was. Would you happen to know?"

"She just left. What did you need?"

"I was won-d-dering what I'm s-sup-pposed t-to do as y-you-r s-ser-v-vant, sir."

I let her in and locked the door behind me. "It entails that you'll be spending much more time with me." I handed her a schedule. "And you perhaps doing some more...personal favours."

"W-what kind of favours?"

"You'll see."

"Can I ask you something, sir?"

"Fire away, Artemis."

"Why did you take over?"

"Because I was tired of fighting. I was tired of being pulled out of my life and forced to go kill other people. I was tired of watching everyone around me die or leave. All I ever wanted was peace, and maybe a family of my own." I turned to look at her. "But I guess that was too much to ask of the Fates."

"Then, why do you treat everyone so bad?"

"Honestly, I don't know. I think I'm going insane, to be honest. Maybe because everyone treated me like shit."

Artemis stepped closer to me and bit her lip, then hugged me. "I'm sorry, Percy. I never really thought about what I was doing."

"It-things are more complicated than that."

I led her back to my bed. Artemis tripped and fell on top of me. I sat back on the bad, Artemis on top of me. Aphrodite's door creaked open, and she sees Artemis sitting on me.

"Percy? What's she doing here?" Aphrodite asked.
