Author's Note: Them reviews! Looks like you all likey! More for you then with steamy occasions!
Penny slowly opened her eyes as she felt a light nudge on her shoulder. She turned her head to see a pair of bright blue eyes looking back at her, Aphrodite smiling at her before chirping, "Morning!" and then giving her a morning kiss. Penny returned it eagerly but was disappointed when Aphrodite pulled back while giggling at her.
"Now, now honey. I'd love to stay but I need to get going. Artemis should be stopping by in a few minutes to wake you for your first day before the plan begins," she said making Penny pout slightly before she nodded. Aphrodite gave her an understanding look before leaning closer and giving her another tender kiss and all the while, Penny couldn't help but wonder why she felt like this?
She had been heartbroken less than a week ago to suddenly wanting to kiss Athena more and wanting Aphrodite to simply spend time with her. She also knew in her heart that her love for her wise-girl had only been reaffirmed when she learned that they'd been tricked even if she couldn't be with her now. So she loved Annabeth and was already falling for Aphrodite as well, but then couldn't help but recall Athena's touch too. Just what was going on with her?
She didn't get a chance to ask Aphrodite as the love goddess broke the kiss and gave her one last smile before disappearing in a puff of pink smoke. Penny felt lonely at that but shook her head of it and got up out of bed, stretching all with a small moan escaping her lips as her back popped. It was at that moment that her tent door was opened and Artemis stepped in. Both froze in shock, Artemis not expecting her to be up and Penny not expecting her to arrive for a few more minutes. They starred at each other, bushing golden, Penny blushing from slight embarrassment even as she made no move to cover up her exposed body while Artemis' eyes quickly scanned her from head to toe before she abruptly looked away.
"G-good morning Penelope," Artemis started as she gave side glances to Penny. "I'm surprised you're awake so early. Have a good night?"
Penny blushed at the memories of being in Aphrodite's arms as she nodded quickly before responding, "Morning to you too Artemis… so, when do we start?" she asked thinking about the plan.
"Please get some clothes first," Artemis said softly while still stealing peaks at her.
"Oh!" Penny squeaked, completely forgetting about her nudity after the initial surprise. "Sorry," she said sheepishly before using a quick spell to instantly clean herself and getting dressed in the customary hunter attire. "Ready!"
Artemis nodded at her but Penny couldn't help but notice the slight flash of disappointment in her mistress' eyes. She dismissed it though as the pair left the tent and Penny noticed that the Hunt was mostly up already and moving around, a few helping prepare breakfast consisting of freshly caught deer, toasted bread from the camp pantry, and wild berries. Some of the hunters greeted her and Artemis as they passed while they walked to the edge of the camp, just out of earshot of the hunters.
"So how are you going to do this?" Penny asked Artemis as she looked around admiring the morning rays passing through the tree leaves.
"Well. We are going to wait for 'Percy' to arrive. I'll make a little show of getting impatient and then dismissing it as typical males being late and give it a few hours. After long enough has passed I'll send out search teams while I check Olympus, find a note in the park I left Percy in stating that he's leaving. Then I'll call an emergency meeting with the council, say Percy has run away and probably get ordered to hunt him down. In that time you're going to do your part to make a 'trail' that leads west. From there we will tail you as you track 'Percy' to LA. You know the rest," Artemis replied easily before looking up in the direction of the sun. "And I can feel Apollo getting closer to try and watch us, probably looking for you as well. Let's join the others and eat for now. He shouldn't actually stop here so it won't mess with the plan."
"Okay," Penny agreed as they walked back to the camp and joined the hunters at a large table with the food already laid out for them.
Penny took an empty seat near the middle of the table while Artemis sat at the head. Once Artemis dug in the hunters followed suite and enjoyed a warm breakfast, chatting happily all the while until Artemis cleared her throat as they got close to finishing.
"Hunters, as you know, Perseus Jackson will be joining us soon to train for a week in his new godly abilities," she said to a chorus of groans.
Penny could stop a small frown from forming as she thought about the Hunt's reaction to her former self. She hadn't been that bad had she? So, she voiced her thoughts on it.
"He isn't that bad, is he?" she asked as she looked around earning some surprised looks from the hunters.
"You know about that boy?" Phoebe, a big-time man hater asked with an incredulous look.
"My mother used to tell me about him," she replied easily. "She told about how it was thanks to him that the demigods got better treatment along with the minor gods and he even got my half-siblings spared after the second Titan war. I mean, he sounds like a decent guy."
"But he's still a male," Atalanta, another of the oldest hunters interjected. "It would have been only a matter of time before he became like the rest."
"And besides, whatever happened to that girl he was dating?" Phoebe continued making Penny look at her in confusion. "Didn't he have to leave her to become a god? He's already left a girl heartbroken."
"That's not—" Penny was about to argue but Artemis beat her to it.
"He didn't break her heart, she cheated on him and broke his," Artemis said stiffly while giving a warning glance to Penny as she felt Artemis connect directly to her mind, 'No one but us know about the potion. They'll have to believe this story for now.'
Penny gave her a small nod before returning her attention to Phoebe. The girl in question was looking troubled at the thought of the girl being the heartbreaker rather than the man and several of the other hunters looked deep in thought while Thalia just sat in shock before suddenly shooting up in her seat.
"But Annie would never do that! She loves that seaweed brain!" she shouted.
"We thought so too," Artemis replied without looking surprised at the outburst. "But it is sadly true … and the circumstances of Perseus being made a god aren't that simple either …"
"What do you mean?" Thalia asked after a moment of digesting what she just heard about Annabeth.
As Artemis sighed Penny slowly stood up and walked away from the table. She knew the story and didn't want to have to hear it repeated as it played in her head along with every moment of pain and confusion she felt during those two days. So she headed for a clearing where the hunters had several dummies, her hand already reaching for Riptide in her pocket. She then thought about her clothes for a few seconds until they morphed into nothing more than a black sports bra and yoga pants with running shoes, her hair getting done up in a ponytail as she stood before her first target.
She uncapped Riptide and looked at the gleaming silver blade before sighing as she focused on the dummies. 'Might as well get re-accustomed to my new body,' she thought before beginning with the most basic of slashes …
Artemis
Artemis internally sighed as she faked an angry face while tapping her foot impatiently. She stood at the edge of her camp, waiting as more hunter teams returned after hours of searching for Percy. She felt bad about lying to them and wasting their time like this but it needed to be done if they wanted Percy to disappear or more like be out of reach. Being able to track the location of her hunters she could feel Penny already a considerable distance from the camp, surprising Artemis for a moment before she recalled that, even as a girl that used to be Perseus Jackson, hero of Olympus turned god. And that meant an impressively trained body and godly constitution with little need for food or water. Heck, with Hestia's blessing Penny could conjure nectar without raising any suspicions and keep herself going for who knows how long.
At the thought of Penny's body Artemis suddenly recalled their morning encounter and her cheeks heated up as she retraced ever curve on that godly body. Flawless skin and light tan, round nose and soft cheeks, big eyes and plump lips, it all made it near impossible to not find her beautiful and when you took in her body, with the large swell of her perky breasts and flare of her hips, toned legs and flat stomach displaying a set of abs earned through sweat, it all added raw sensuality to her.
Artemis even recalled when Athena and Penny had been kissing for the ritual and had felt a slight pang of want and jealousy for a moment. She hadn't even realized she'd separated them until after the fact and now kept stealing glances at the newly born goddess. Then just watching her interact with the Hunt with such friendliness while keeping that playful personality Perseus had been known for as she teased Thalia had all been so endearing. Then in the morning that had been a resurgence of that want and Artemis had to restrain herself from actually trying to touch her. 'But I shouldn't be attracted like this. She just had her entire life ripped apart and put back together … and she looked happy with Athena anyways,' Artemis thought with a slight pang of sadness but she shook her head of it.
Now was not the time to go on thinking about her newest hunter and her relations to other goddesses. Right now she needed to be playing the part of an angered goddess planning to hunt down a boy and possibly castrate him. So she did just that as more teams came back until finally all had arrived. Giving an annoyed sigh she asked the obvious question, "Any luck?"
Several shaking heads and grumbles were her answer making her stamp her foot before she addressed her hunters. "Rest then. I'm heading to Olympus to report Percy missing. I shouldn't be too long."
And with that she gave a warning glow making her hunters look away before she flashed into the throne room. She quickly took her seat before materializing her bow and firing an arrow into the sky above the building before it exploded in a silver burst. In a matter of seconds all fourteen Olympians flashed in, some looking on curiously while others looked worried as to why she summoned them.
"What is it daughter?" Zeus asked quickly, seeing as it was unusual for her to call an emergency meeting.
Deciding to be quick about it considering she couldn't really stand the sight of any of these boys at the moment for what they did to Percy, she said, "Percy has run away."
Immediately the gods went into a shouting match, Aphrodite and Athena throwing in a little bit of nonsense about love or making snide remarks about Poseidon's spawn respectively to add further confusion. It lasted for a few minutes before her father had enough and fired his bolt into the sky to gain silence. Once he had their attention he turned to Artemis and asked, "How did this happen? Why wasn't he under your supervision?"
"He said the first thing he wanted to practice was flashing," she replied in her prepared explanation. "Apparently he was having trouble with it though so we stayed in one of the parks for a few hours. He then said he'd meet me in the morning when he got it down but then he never turned up, and I even sent out some search teams in case the fool got lost but nothing. So I went to the park and found this note," she said while bringing up the forgery from her pocket. "It reads 'I'm sorry. I never wanted any of this so I'm leaving. I can't tell you why but you could ask your precious father all about it, I'm sure he'd love to tell you everything. If not, then it's a problem between you and him. All that matters is that I leave … this is goodbye.' So what is he talking about father?"
At her question the male gods tensed while Poseidon sent a downright venomous glare at Zeus, his grip on his trident tightening till his knuckles turned white. Her father even gave a nervous glance at Poseidon before muttering, "That is confidential. For now, I will need you to start tracking him immediately and bring him back to Olympus in chains if you have to."
"But father, why would he want to run? It doesn't sound like him at all?" Athena asked next while pulling the best curious face she could.
"It is not up for discussion," Zeus said through his teeth before returning his sight to Artemis. "Go!"
She nodded before flashing out and onto the border of her camp. Her hunters noticed her arrival and gathered round quickly but then Thalia quickly spoke up, "My lady, Penny still hasn't come back from her search."
Artemis could see the clear worry in some of the girl's faces, thinking that the newest hunter might have gotten lost or possibly hurt since they were currently in the Appalachian Mountains. Smiling internally at the display of care Artemis formed a mental link to her newest huntress.
'Penny? Can you hear me?'
'Loud and clear!' was a quick reply. 'Need me to do the next part?'
'Yes. How long would I have to wait?'
'Not long, I formed it near the camp and left it ready. Just give it a few seconds to respond,' Penny replied before cutting the connection on her end.
With the conversation over in a span of a few seconds Artemis focused back on the hunters around her. She then heard some soft rustling and wing flapping making her glance to a nearby tree were a completely white hummingbird flew to her and landed on her outstretched finger with a note in its beak.
"What's that my lady?" Thalia asked as other hunters leaned closer to get a better look.
"A specialty of Hecate's children. Mistforms created into tools or servants for any purpose. I can tell Penny made this one," she replied as she took the note, read it quickly, and dismissed it with a silver pop as the hummingbird dissolved into mist. "It seems that Penny managed to use a spell to focus on the strongest source of sea energy and pinpointed the direction Perseus is heading in. She is currently pursuing him and advises that we track her."
"Why not just flash to her?" Phoebe asked.
"Because Perseus will detect me if I flash too close and then he could possibly flash away himself turning it into a game of cat and mouse. But if I have to take you girls with me, even for only one jump, I'll run out of energy before him and he'll get away. It will be better if we simply run after them and from what I can tell, Penny is already a fair distance away."
"Girl must be something to move out like that so soon after joining the Hunt," an older hunter, Mia, commented.
"She is, after all, she traveled the world with her archeologist father until his untimely death due to sickness a year ago and in that time she's developed talents in wilderness survival and fighting to protect herself," Artemis agreed before putting on a more commanding air. "Now pack up camp quickly, we don't want to get left behind!"
"Yes mam!" her hunters replied before they scampered away to tear down the camp.
Artemis sighed as she watched her hunters getting to work, all the while wondering what was Penny doing now?
Penny sighed as she stepped out of the steaming shower, her body already dry thanks to the power inherited from her father. She only had a towel wrapped around herself and barely hiding her exquisite figure as she sat down on her hotel bed. It was well into the am hours and she'd finally decided it was enough running for one day. She'd surprised herself, having traveled all the way from West Virginia to Illinois just by foot and she'd hardly felt any strain while keeping a decent jog.
She'd even run next to a highway for a while and noticed that she was keeping pace and even passing traffic moving at 60 mph making her wonder what were the limits of her godly body? Sure, she knew she couldn't push it to her full limits without assuming her divine form and that would alert every single god whether minor or major to her location which wasn't a god idea in the slightest. Still, at the moment she knew she could run faster than the average car on a highway and, after getting really annoyed by one punk trying to hit on her in the city, that lifting a 200 lb. man with one hand was child's play.
Now she was resting in a small hotel in Chicago, having discreetly used the mist to get a reservation for the night and then Hestia's blessing to conjure up a plate of ambrosia and nectar which was currently resting on the nightstand beside the bed. She sighed as she glanced at a TV showing some news but wasn't really interested. She was getting ready to snap on some pajamas before turning in but she then there was a knock at her door making her start.
In an instant she opened her hand at Riptide in its pen form on the nightstand and the weapon flew into her hand, already in blade form as she pushed her senses out to tell who was there. She hadn't ordered room service and no one should know she was here but luckily she detected a familiar presence making her relax. She set down Riptide and walked over to the door before opening it to see a jaw-dropping sight. There stood Aphrodite in a criminally short, strapless red dress that hugged her like a second skin, high heels, cherry red lipstick, and glossy black hair spilling past her shoulders in curls with deep blue eyes.
She must have been staring because Aphrodite giggled at her while leaning closer as she cupped her cheek, "Hey there sweetie," she said before giving her a quick peck of a kiss. "Can I come in?"
Penny nodded as she stepped aside letting the goddess in before closing the door behind her, lock and all. Aphrodite took a seat at the bed as Penny walked closer while fidgeting with her fingers as she asked, "Umm … how did you find me?"
"Simple honey," Aphrodite replied. "You're a love goddess like me. All I have to do is focus on my domain and I can find you anywhere. Same goes for Hestia and Hera as fellow goddesses of family. Oh! And I've notified all my children who are love gods of you and don't worry, they only report to me even though I made them swear on the Styx to not tell anyone about you. So you might get a surprise visit here and there."
"Oh, okay," Penny said as she looked around while discreetly checking Aphrodite out … or not so because the goddess looked at her with a knowing smile.
"Like what you see?" she asked making Penny blush before nodded.
"Sorry, I just can't help it," Penny mumbled but all that got was a musical laugh from the goddess.
"It's alright honey, I'm used to it," Aphrodite said with a shrug. "People can't help but lust after me …" she added almost sadly making Penny frown.
"But I don't want to be like the rest," she suddenly said as she stepped closer to the love goddess making Aphrodite look at her in surprise. "Yes, you're beautiful and I want to admire you all day but you're more than that. You're kind and helped save me from that … fate," she said with a shudder. "You're also really loving, not just lust, and I felt it the other night. You really do care about your lovers and it makes you sad that you can't be with them. But now I can see it and … I really like that about you so … I don't know … I just want you to know that I'm not only looking at you because of your body … I'm looking because it's you."
By now the goddess was looking at her with watery eyes and one of the biggest smiles Penny had ever seen on Aphrodite. Suddenly the goddess shot up and embraced her with a burning kiss, stealing Penny's breath as she helplessly submitted to it. Her mouth was open within moments and caressing Aphrodite's tongue like a glorious conqueror as she felt the love goddess tug off her towel leaving her naked. Soon enough she was turned around and laying on the bed with Aphrodite on top of her, her hands exploring until they found Aphrodite's rear and gave a firm squeeze.
The love goddess moaned into the kiss as her hands kneaded Penny's breasts for several minutes but then Aphrodite pulled back and sat up while both panted. Penny loved the sight and then her eyes zeroed in on Aphrodite's covered breasts seemingly begging for release. So she sat up and kissed the love goddess again while her hands jerked down the red dress as Aphrodite's DD breasts popped out. She quickly started to trail kisses down Aphrodite's neck before reaching her breasts. She paused for a moment to admire the pink nipples as they stood erect before she glanced up to lock eyes with Aphrodite.
As they looked at each other she leaned forward and captured on nipple in her mouth earning a pleased gasp from Aphrodite. She sucked eagerly while flicking her tongue over the hardened bud to the music of Aphrodite's moans while her own hands clutched at the love goddess' ass.
"Penny …" Aphrodite mewled as Penny sucked on, still looking at Aphrodite's face to see her expressions.
Her golden flushed cheeks and slightly glassy eyes, the slight biting of her lips to uselessly try and suppress moans. Penny memorized it all as she switched to the other breast, even going as far as giving little tugs and bites much to Aphrodite's pleasure. After several minutes of that treatment she released her prisoners before kissing Aphrodite again, this time being the attacker as her tongue broke into the goddess' mouth and explored every inch. After a while Aphrodite pushed her back until she was laying down before she looked at her with a sexy smirk.
"Time to learn something new," she purred as she trailed her hands along Penny's body, all the while sliding down herself.
Penny watched her go down, feeling both excited and nervous as Aphrodite stopped just above her hairless folds.
"I'm going to make you scream my name," Aphrodite said before, without warning, she gave a wet kiss to her pussy making Penny gasp and try to clamp her thighs together.
Aphrodite expected it though as her hands grabbed each thigh and kept them apart with a surprising amount of strength. Not waiting for anything Aphrodite dived back in and started to lick up and down Penny's lower lips, making her start to moan and mewl in delight at the sensations. Aphrodite's tongue was on a completely different league than her fingers from the other night, making her wetter by the second. She felt the tongue pushing her lips apart and pass over her clit, every touch making her feel as if she'd been shocked as her hands found Aphrodite's head and kept her there.
Then she felt Aphrodite use some fingers to spread her pussy before her tongue invaded her, making her gasp as her back arched and her hips started to grind onto Aphrodite's face. The tongue darted in and out at times before tracing her walls as Penny kept moaning. The pressure in her lower stomach was starting to get unbearable and she felt her inner walls starting to pulse, release imminent, as her grinding got urgent. To add oil to the flame Aphrodite started to pinch her clit with her free hand all the while licking her even harder as Penny gasped and moaned so loud she was sure she would get complaints. Soon enough it was getting too hot before Aphrodite moved her mouth and sucked on her clit sending Penny past the edge.
"Aphrodite!" she screamed as she came on the love goddess' mouth and her vision went out of focus, all the while feeling said goddess lap up her juices with vigor.
After she felt like she was clean she pulled the love goddess up and into another tender kiss, again trying to convey feelings of love rather than lust which Aphrodite returned. After they broke apart Penny looked at the goddess lovingly and asked, "Stay with me?"
"Of course," Aphrodite replied as she leaned closer so their foreheads touched. "And I'll stay every night you want me to."
"I'd like that," Penny replied as she suddenly felt exhausted so she started to move the sheets around to crawl under them.
She saw the goddess snap her fingers to make her dress disappear leaving her in a red thong before she joined her but this time Penny faced her as they cuddled and kept their faces close. Penny gave her another kiss before murmuring goodnight which Aphrodite returned warmly as Penny snapped her fingers making the lights and TV switch off.
A hunt to continue tomorrow but tonight she was merely happy to sleep in the arms of someone who she was truly beginning to love …
