Her Touch

2

Percy PoV

"She's my new servant," I answered. Aphrodite nodded and left

"I'd like to apologize to you, Artemis. Sorry about, uh, earlier..."

Artemis leaned into me, pressing her face into my chest. Her hand brushed my cock and I froze. "Artemis, you're dismissed. Now."

Artemis stayed. I felt my eyes go red and I lunged, pinning her to the bed. I heard Aphrodite's door burst open, and I felt her trying to pull me off. "Percy, Percy stop! You're hurting her!"

Third PoV

Percy looks down and sees Artemis quaking in fear beneath him. Percy rolls off to the side, curling into himself and held his head between his hands, as though trying to squeeze something out. Artemis crawled over to him and brushed his hand with her finger. Percy stops squeezing, looking over to her. "Help me...Please...Save me...."

Artemis cradled his head in her lap. "Rest, Percy. You need it." Percy closed his eyes. Artemis brushed his hair out of his face as she leans back.

Aphrodite speaks. "You can control him, Artemis. Never be afraid of him." Then she disappears through her door.

Artemis lays back and falls asleep, Percy's head in her lap, and her fingers entangled in Percy's hair.

While the two are asleep, more goddesses come in to clean, but leave when they see the two.

Percy wakes as Artemis still sleeps, smiling when he sees her peaceful face. Percy goes to stand, but Artemis grabbed his hand. "You're supposed to rest." Percy obeys, slipping back into the bed next to her. Artemis asks, "Are you feeling better?"

"Yeah, thanks," Percy responds. Artemis hugs him again. Percy smiles and engulfs her in a hug of his own. Percy then sighed. "I can't believe I fucked up so bad."

"You can fix it," Artemis assured. "You're there. Not the old you. But not a sadistic dictator either. Just, different. It'll take a while to get their trust back, but eventually, it'll work."

"Thanks," Percy said. He sat up and stretched. "I do have my duties to attend to, though," Percy paused. "Aphrodite, stop spying."

Aphrodite grumbled and crawled out from behind the chair.

Percy got up and snapped his fingers, changing him to new clothes, leaving bags for Artemis and Aphrodite, then left.

Percy stepped through the door to the side room in his bedroom, scowling down at some papers, then sat down and started writing things down.

After a few hours, when Percy was still working on his papers, and hadn't moved from his seat, Artemis walked into his side room. "Percy, would you like anything to eat?"

"Nah, nah, I'm fine," Percy answers.

"Percy, you really need to take a break. Too much stress is harmful," Artemis chided. Percy sighed and set down his pen. Her hand brushed through his hair. "So, what do you want to eat?"

"Food. What would you like to eat,
Artemis?"

"Pasta would be nice," Artemis answered. Percy stood up, Artemis' hand falling to her side. Percy summoned two plates of spaghetti and set them on the table.

After they finished their food, Percy leaned over and wiped a chunk of sauce off her lip. Artemis took his hand before he pulled away. "See? You can show compassion to me, you can show compassion to others."

Percy smiled and stood up, Artemis following suit. Percy's arm rested around her waist. Artemis kissed him on the cheek, blushing gold. Percy turned and smiled, kissing her on the nose. "It's getting late. Do you wanna go back to your room now Artemis?"

Artemis pulled me over to my bed. "I have to stay here and make sure you actually sleep." Percy smiled and laid down on the bed, Artemis scooting in next to him. Percy fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Artemis stayed awake a little longer to make sure he slept, then fell asleep herself.

The next morning, Artemis got out of bed and made breakfast for the both of them. Setting the breakfast on the nightstand, Artemis sat next to Percy's head and fiddled with his hair. Percy opened his eyes and smiled up at Artemis. "Good morning, Moonstar."

"Moonstar?" Artemis asked. "Yeah, do you not like it?" Percy asked.

"I think it's great, fish-face. I made breakfast."

Percy groaned and sat up, stretching. Artemis moved the tray to his lap and laid back down. Percy started eating the breakfast, then nudged Artemis. He waved the warm oatmeal under her nose. "You're
supposed to eat as well, Moonstar."

Artemis sat back up and started eating the oatmeal. As Artemis set down the bowl, Percy spotted a stray chunk of oatmeal on her collarbone. "You've got a bit of oatmeal there, Arty. Here, let me help," Percy leaned down over Artemis and licked the oatmeal off.

Artemis squealed, but didn't push him away. Artemis then chuckled as she spoke, "I'd think you're supposed to do this first." Artemis brought her lips to his. Percy flipped them and sat up, so Artemis was in his arms while Artemis's hands went up to Percy's hair, her fingers getting entangled. As Artemis pulled away for breath, Percy's eyes sparkled.

Artemis laid back atop Percy, resting her head in the crook of his neck.

Percy PoV

"Well, that was quick," I whispered. Artemis didn't respond, continuing to lay atop me. "Hey, Artemis, do you wanna be my girlfriend?"

Artemis leaned up and kissed me on the cheek. "Sure, Percy."

I wormed my way out from under her and murmured, "I've got work to do. Go ahead and be lazy or do whatever." I kissed Artemis on the forehead and walked over, plopping down at my desk.

Hours later, I felt her hand on my shoulder. "...Percy, Percy, are you even listening?"

"Huh? What?"

Artemis sighed and sat down in my lap, holding a plate of salad. "Eat," she commanded. I obediently ate the salad. The things this girl could make me do. Artemis stood up, and I followed. I kissed her temple, holding her waist. "Do you even know what time it is, Percy?"

"No, why?"

"It's half past 10 in the evening, Percy, I'm tired." I realized she was wearing her nightgown. I felt my boner start to poke up.

I clapped my hands together. "Well, I'll go take my shower."

"Percy, you're all-powerful, you can snap your fingers and have yourself clean," Artemis pointed out.

I stammered to find a response, "Well, uh, I kinda..." I sighed and snapped my fingers, my boner finally starting to go back down.

Artemis took my hand, leading me back to the bed. "You need to sleep, Percy." I fell back on the bed with my girlfriend in my arms.

"You're usually right about that," I muttered sleepily. Artemis kissed me on the cheek and rested her head on my chest.
