Artemis was sitting up in bed with my head rested on her thighs.

She was playing with my hair and talking about the wedding.

My head was still hurting a bit, but I could walk in a straight line, so there was definitely some improvement.

"I still haven't told my hunters that you proposed," she remarked absentmindedly. "I just haven't gone to see them since you did. I think they'll react well, but I'll tell them while you're resting just to be sure."

I smiled and gently grabbed her hand, pulling it away from my hair and over to my face so I could kiss it. "I love you, Artemis."

She moved my head out of her lap and laid down next to me. "I love you too, Percy."

"I hope I'm not making too much extra work for you," I mumbled, draping an arm over her waist.

My future wife began tracing my facial features with her nimble fingers. "I wouldn't call spending time with the man I'm going to marry work. Especially considering it's not an arranged marriage."

"What happened to that dude you were supposed to marry, anyway?" I asked, holding her tightly.

"Zeus married one of his other daughters off to him," she replied, kissing my cheek. "So, how are you feeling?"

"My head still hurts," I responded. "It could be worse, though."

"How so?" Artemis asked, nipping at my ear.

"Well, spending time with my incredibly sexy fiancee tends to make things better," I explained, leaning in and kissing her.

My woman pulled me closer and forced her tongue into my mouth.

I took her waist and let her control the kiss, in no state and not wanting to stop her.

Her tongue receded and she pulled my bottom lip between her teeth, looking me in the eye as though daring me to take control.

I accepted her challenge and rolled so I was on top of her, dominating the passionate kiss.

I ran my hand up the inner side of her thigh and she bit her lip, closing her eyes. "You shouldn't try to stop yourself from moaning. Your moans are really sexy. I guess I'll just have to work on that during our honeymoon."

She smiled seductively as she slipped out of bed and made her way to the bathroom.

I followed closely behind and took her waist before kissing at her neck. "Having sex in the shower will give me an opportunity to explore those kinks I discovered in the kitchen the other day."

Artemis blushed deeply as she recalled being bent over the kitchen counter and later being propped up on it with her hands bound above her head. "Could you draw the bath while I get changed?"

I nodded obediently and began doing as asked. When she left, I stripped down and wrapped a towel around my waist.

Was my arousal quite obvious? Yes. Did it matter? Not really.

With the tub filled, I shut off the water and slid into the tub, waiting for her.

The water helped clear my head and
restore my energy.

Artemis was going to be a very happy woman by the end of the night.

She stepped back into the bathroom clad in only a very thin robe.

I watched with extreme interest as the robe slid off of her body and she stepped into the tub to join me.

My woman settled in my lap and wrapped her arms around my neck before pressing her breasts to my face. "I'm not sure why you seemed to have fixated on this particular part of my body today, but I don't have any issues with it."

I chuckled inwardly and prepared to give her one of the best nights of her life.
