The Moon's Lover

14

Artemis PoV

I froze, a needy moan escaping me as my lover squeezed. "I'm sorry," Percy mumbled, pulling away.

He wrapped a blanket around me and stood back with his head down.

I stepped close, touching his hand.

My lover looked up. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be disrespectful."

He was shocked when I kissed him.

"Percy," I chided, "you can't do that." He looked down, ashamed.

"I meant that you can't be sexy and dominant, then suddenly be cute and sweet," I murmured.

"Oh," he said softly. "What do you want me to be now, then?"

My husband smiled when I snuggled into his chest.

Percy kissed my forehead, carrying me back to the bed.

"You're going to be a great father someday," I murmured into his chest, falling back asleep.

Percy PoV

I smiled, realizing my wife had fallen asleep in my arms. Following her actions, I did the same.

I was awoken by my wife's lips on my cheek.

I held her tight and rolled over, the moon goddess squealing in my arms.

"Good morning, love," I kissed her cheek. Artemis flopped around onto my back and raised her fist in the air. "Onward! To breakfast, o mighty steed!"

I smiled and laughed at her silliness.

"Alright then, goofball. Let's get dressed first," I kissed her nose.

Artemis disappeared into the closet, I into the bathroom, and we found ourselves ready to go, standing in the foyer of the palace.

"This place is much too big for the two of us," I commented. "Maybe if we had a few kids, that'd do the trick."

Artemis blushed, thinking of what happened before the kids.

She kissed my cheek, slipping on my, excuse me, her, blue hoodie, while I grabbed a black sweatshirt.

I grabbed her hand, and we walked out the entrance, through the gate, and into the streets of Olympus.

As we strolled along, many other immortals stopped and stared, shocked.

Artemis and I couldn't possibly get along and be civil, much less have feelings for one another, could we?

Did I mention I'm the god of sarcasm?

We entered the restaurant, being seated in a private booth. We could've had sex in there, and nobody would've noticed.

We sat next to one another, scanning through the menu before finally making our decisions.

I punched in our orders, and they appeared in front of us.

As we were eating, Aphrodite approached us, sitting down on the other side of the booth.

"Good morning, Percy. Artemis," she said my wife's name disdainfully.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"Sex. To fuck. I'm even fine with a threesome, I just wanna bang you!" She exclaimed, grabbing at my pants from under the table.

I smacked her hand. "Aphrodite, leave us in peace. I just want to eat breakfast with my wife."

She stormed off, muttering under her breath.
