Let Them Think That

Artemis PoV

I was back with my hunters, helping the younger recruits with various skills, whether it be archery, stealth, skinning animals, or a number of other things.

Around ten in the evening, I called it a night and returned to my palace.

As I prepared for my shower, I thought about the sexual experiences Percy and I had shared.

I questioned myself about my morals. I wondered if it was wrong to have slept with Percy.

Pushing the thought away, I laughed at myself. We were married and both fully consenting adults. There was nothing wrong with it.

Thinking of my husband and our sexual encounters aroused me, but he was not there to sate me.

I made a quick trip to my closet to grab a few things before making sure all doors were locked and there were no unwanted spells.

A bath served much better than the shower as a place to complete the task I had in mind.

Sliding into the hot water, I began thinking back to early that morning. And later that morning.

With the click of a button, I was being bombarded with waves of pleasure.

A few minutes later, I had been relieved and continued with my routine as though nothing had changed.

I got the feeling that would become a part of the routine over the next months.

Infiltration proved much easier than I had expected.

The monsters were under the impression that none would attack them, and had become unable to fight well.

Three quick shots from my bow, and the guards of the back gate were down.

There were more guards inside, but none of them looked to see what was above them.

Instead of killing them, I just hovered above them quietly until I made it to the throne room of the strange castle the monsters had taken over.

The lead monster was alone in the throne room, and I took him out easily.

I began to wonder why this monster nest was considered so dangerous.

After locating and fully sanitizing the lead monster's, now my, chambers, I found an adjoining room with information on what they had been doing.

I scanned the papers and sent them back to Olympus, adding that there had to be a more powerful being involved, or extremely powerful monsters had awoken.

Artemis PoV

Since my husband's departure, many gods had courted me, under the impression that since gaining a lover, I had become weak and needy.

Breaking that image had been fun. Lots of ichor, but quite fun.

I was having lunch with Athena at a cafe type restaurant, discussing what had happened.

My sister laughed. "Well, they certainly won't be messing with you anytime soon."

The phone in my pocket began to buzz with Percy's pattern.

I put it on speaker, setting the device on the table. "Say hi to Athena."

"Uh," my lover replied. "Hi."

The goddess rolled her eyes. "He called because he wanted to talk to you. Let him talk in private."

Percy cleared his throat. "Actually, while you're on, I made a rather interesting discovery. Did you receive the scanned documents?"
