It was dark and the stars covered the sky of Long Island like a huge and dark shimmering mantle.
It was late and everyone had retired to their cabins in search of a night's sleep. All but Annabeth, who had managed to sneak out of Cabin 6 without anyone noticing and now wandered through the dark, towards the gusty beach.
Percy had asked her that morning to meet him on the beach after everyone was asleep. He had not specified in great detail what they were doing, he only said he wanted to just spend time with her.
The truth is that in her mind she would only be afraid if someone saw her, at that time of night, or that any of the harpies found her wandering around in the twilight. But she followed the path anyway.
When she came closer to the beach she could spot a light, a flame slowly burning and getting bigger as she grew closer. Send sparkles of light into the heavens.
On the beach, next to the fire was Percy, who was sitting with his back to Annabeth, wrapped in a blue blanket, facing the fire, stoking the flames.
She approached her boyfriend slowly and silently. She snuck up behind him and covered his green eyes with her hands. Percy, however, was not frightened, he just smiled, a contagious smile, pulling his girlfriend to sit beside him on the picnic blanket on which he was sitting. And she was relieved to no longer be alone that night.
"I was already beginning to think I should give up and head home" He said with a beaming smile.
The firelight, his eyes gained a bluish green tone that seemed to dance the jive of the flickering flames, leaving him even more handsome in the eyes of Annabeth.
"My curiosity would not let me give up" She answered, mimicing the smile of her boyfriend. "So what is the purpose of this 'secret meeting'?" Making air quotes as she said it.
"Do I need a purpose for wanting to be with you?" He countered, raising an eyebrow.
She smiled unanswered.
"No" Grinning as she answers him.
"Come here" He asked, pulling her closer to him, and then covered them both with the light blanket that he had, passing it around his shoulders and around Annabeth. She rested her head on his shoulder as he kissed her forehead.
The fire burning made a warm and cosy atmosphere, while the mild ocean waves breaking on the sand there created the most calm and pleasant breeze. As this was happening they did not say anything, just soaking in the presence of one another.
Annabeth was delighted.
His chest was burning in flames of passion, heating it from the inside out.
Percy kissed her again, holding her face with her hands, gently. Although it had crossed his mind a million times, Percy had not planned that night with ulterior motives.
He dropped his hands to the girl's waist, pulling her closer to him with some force. Then, holding his hands on her back, he laid her on the picnic blanket that was under them.
She gasped when she felt the lips of her boyfriend on her neck, exploring the entire crook with calmness, covering her with kisses. Annabeth clapped her hands to his broad chest. Percy, taken aback by the movement but was quickly swept away from him as her lips returned to play with his.
Instinctively, she ran her fingers around the boy's torso, then infiltrated her hands onto his bare stomach, stroking his well defined abdomen.
He traced with his fingers the thin waist of the girl, rising to her breasts and then down to her thighs. Percy pulled away from the kiss as he decided to pull the girl's shirt up, exposing her half-naked body beneath it; he smiled at his girlfriend who returned the grin with fervor.
Annabeth allowed him to take off her blouse gently, taking his soft lips to her breasts, still half-covered by her lacy burgundy bra. He moved down his fingers to the lower crevice of the girl, who moaned in approval. As she still played over the fabric of his pants, Annabeth decided to do the same, tentatively touching the boy's erection over his shorts with her fingers. Seeing him close his eyes and sigh under her touch was enough consent for her.
It was the turn of Annabeth to undress her boyfriend, slowly taking off his shirt, delighted with the smile that appeared on his lips before returning to kiss her passionately. They were both producing sighs, kisses and caresses eager for release, but without any urgency. They lay there, just enjoying the crackle of the fire, and the gentle breeze coming from the sea.
Percy could feel all the heat in her the body, encouraging him to continue removing their clothes, and that's what he did, accompanied by Annabeth, who was still wrapped in his strong arms.
But when she saw the boy pulling his own underwear down in order to be finally completely naked, she stopped, realising at last what was about to happen, and yet, she had no problem with it, she knew this would happen one day.
And thank the gods she didn't stop, because that was the best night she had ever had in a long time, and when she thought of that night, she always thought of Percy and the ridiculous joke he made as the crackling of the fire lulled them to into the realm of Morpheus.
"Well, I guess you won't be joining the hunters"
Proper cocked this up last time so I just went through it again
