The Moon's Lover

5

Artemis PoV

I dragged my husband to the master bathroom, dumping him in the bathtub. I ran a bath, stripping off Percy's shirt and pants.

I poured nectar into the water and left Percy to soak as I went to take a shower.

After showering, I changed into my undergarments and slipped on one of my husband's nightshirts.

I snapped my fingers, drying, clothing, and moving Percy to the bed.

I laid down next to him, pulling the covers up over us in preparation for a sleepless night.

Percy PoV

I was awoken by the feeling of something soft and warm tracing along my face.

I opened my eyes to see none other than my beautiful wife, Artemis, looking down at me. Her slender fingers traced along my jaw.

"Does it hurt?" Artemis asked.

"No. You could never hurt me, moon," I answered.

Artemis kissed my forehead. "Percy, every bone in your body was broken by Zeus. You've been unconscious for over a month."

"So, Doc, how long's my bed sentence?" I asked jokingly.

Artemis smiled softly, stroking my hair.

"Why don't you try to move around some? We'll go from there," Artemis said.

I nodded, groaning as I sat up. Artemis placed a hand on my shoulder, "Percy-"

"I'm fine," I cut her off. "Just a bit stiff."

Artemis nodded and got up, going to the bathroom.

I changed into a fresh set of clothes, laying back on the bed as I waited for my wife.

Artemis emerged from the bathroom in fresh clothes. I pulled her into my lap, kissing the spot behind her ear.

Artemis twisted around and snuggled into my chest, resting her head on my shoulder.

"What are you thinking about?" Artemis asked after a little while.

"How much I would like to kiss you right now," I responded.

Artemis blushed, sitting up. "I don't see anything stopping you."

I held my wife's waist, bringing my lips to hers. Artemis moved her hands to my shoulders as I kissed her.

When we pulled away for air, Artemis was blushing deeply, a small smile on her face. I kissed her forehead.

Artemis shifted in my lap and stood up. I got up and grabbed her hand. "So Doc, what're we doing today?"

Artemis smiled again. "Well, being lazy mostly. I was thinking of breakfast."

Artemis yelped as I lifted her bridal style into my arms, carrying her to the dining area.

After breakfast, we lazed around on the couch, which was nice. Artemis was pressed up against me, half asleep.

I summoned a blanket over us, pulling it up to my wife's jaw. She snuggled closer, pulling the blanket up to her head.

I smiled, kissing the top of her head.

Artemis rested her chin on my chest, smiling up at me. I looked at the clock, seeing it was getting late.

I carried my goddess to our bedroom, laying her in bed before joining her.

Artemis closed her eyes and we fell asleep.
