Okay, this is the last chapter of Just a Dream. I was thinking to write an Epilogue, too, but then I got some ideas about a sequel. So, yes, there will be a SEQUEL. But I won't post it right away. I need a little break. I will probably post the sequel in about month's time. I don't know what it will be called but I will probably write an Author Note in here when it's ready. I really hope you are happy about that decision.

Thank you for the reviews!

Miette in the Rain – I really thought that they deserved some peace at least on their wedding. Now, about the wedding night… Well, it won't be exactly smutty, because I didn't want to change the rating, but trust me it is not very innocent. :)

Chapter 9

Honey Moons, Wedding Nights and Sightseeing

They were 'driving' for maybe an hour when Percy felt the car lower down a little bit. She peered down cautiously and gaped slightly. She knew where they were only from pictures. Greece. They were currently flying over the Aegean Sea, but even in the darkness she could clearly see the coast in the distance bellow them.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" She heard Apollo say in a gentle voice. "I thought you would like to come here." Even though his voice sounded steady and calm there was a slight uncertainty in his eyes. But she offered him a flashing smile and he returned it gladly. "Thank you. I've always wanted to come here."

The closer the coast came and lower the car went Percy was feeling more and more nervous. It was ridicules, she knew. This definitely wasn't the first time they were going to… be intimate, but she felt like it was. There was something special in it. Sharing the bed like a husband and wife. It was almost something new and unfamiliar.

Apollo parked the car right on the beach, in front of a huge, palace like house. The girl looked around surprised, noticing that there wasn't another house in miles. "We are staying here?" She asked unbelievingly.

"Yep. That's my house." He opened the door for her and helped her get off the car. Thankfully she had taken off her high heeled shoes so she could walk on the sand. She took a step towards the house but the sun god swept her off her feet. Literaly. Percy shrieked in surprise and laughed as he carried through the large French doors. "It's a tradition." He grinned, making her roll her eyes. "And since when do you follow the traditions?" "Since today."

The house was as beautiful inside just as it was outside. The walls were painted in light tones and she could sense the luxury everywhere. But she didn't have time to focus on anything as her husband proceeded carrying her towards the most important room of the house- the master bedroom. It was huge, which was unsurprisingly, with the biggest bed Percy had ever seen. Seriously, four or five persons could freely sleep in there without worry that someone may fall off.

There where candles carefully put in a different places in the room, bathing it in soft light. Rose petals were scattered all over the floor and the bed, making a romantic atmosphere.

She looked behind her shoulder at Apollo who was watching intently, following her every move with his eyes. "Are you alright?" He asked worriedly. "You look a bit pale."

"I – I'm fine." She answered, rubbing her hands together. "I just-" But she was cut off by his lips crashing down on hers. All her worries and cares immediately vanished and she let herself get lost in the kiss. It was tender and loving, but she could feel the layers of passion hidden underneath the calmness. She trembled with pleasure in his skilful hands, gasping for breath as he started trailing kisses down her neck and shoulder. She felt her skin burning where his lips had touched it. Her fingers followed the lines of his naked chest and stomach, not even remembering when she had taken his shirt and jacket off. He groaned as her hand went lower and closer to the waistband of his trousers.

He reached for the zipper of her dress, pausing for a moment before pulling it down seductively slowly. She moaned as his fingers ghosted over the revealed skin, hurrying to take the beautiful dress off before he ruined it in a fit of passion. She reached up to kiss him again but for her surprise he pulled away.

"What-?" She started to ask before Apollo put a finger to her lips, successfully silencing her. He took her hand and pulled her towards one of the doors that led to the bathroom. The first thing she noticed was the bathtub in the centre of the room. It was full of water and bubles and judging by the wonderful scent coming from it, Percy guessed someone had put aromatic oils inside. There were a bottle of champagne and two glasses on the little table next to the bath, plus some strawberries and chocolate.

"You did this?" Percy asked in amazement, clearly not believing her own eyes. She had never expected that Apollo could do something like this. All these gestures and everything were like taken from the romantic movies she loved so much. But she still couldn't explain to herself why he did all of this for her. She was a mere mortal (well, now immortal) girl with not much interesting and he – he was a god. Literally. Why did he go that far to make her happy?

Because he loves you, stupid. A voice giggled in her head that sounded suspiciously much like Aphrodite. He loves you and would do everything to see you smiling, not caring about the price.

"I did." He said softly, answering a question she had forgotten asking. "I thought you would like it." He knew her so well already. For a moment she felt bad that she didn't know so much about him. She knew him well, yes but sometimes this wasn't enough. He had such a vast personality and interests that the girl sometimes thought it would take her a lifetime to learn everything about him. Now that she thought about it… It wouldn't take her so much. After all they had the eternity. "Was I wrong?" Apollo asked, taking her silence as a bad sign. He was nearly panicking, thinking about how he had ruined their wedding night. It was too much. Or he had done something wrong. Or maybe she really wasn't in the mood. Or-

"It's wonderful." Percy breathed out, turning around and gazing up at him. The sun god felt his heartbeat pick up a bit and his head spin. She was so beautiful. With that tanned skin, reflecting the light of the candles and these huge sea green eyes she looked like a goddess. Everyone said that Aphrodite was the most beautiful goddess but he doubt they would think the same if they had seen Percy. And Helen of Troy? Who was she in comparison to the woman before him?

Gulping, he blinked a few times and smiled loudly motioning towards the bath. "Ladies first."

Percy grinned in return, stepping into the hot water, almost moaning in pleasure as it touched her skin. He followed soon behind her taking of his trousers and sitting exactly opposite of her. He reached out towards the table, filling the glasses with champagne and passing one to her. "Let's toast." He grinned, raising his glass slightly. "To us." She smiled and touched her glass to his, before taking a sip. She took a chocolate dipped strawberry biting into it as seductively as she could. It obviously worked because the Olympian bit his lip, staring hungrily at her lips. With a smug smile she touched the strawberry to his mouth and he gladly obliged and parted his lips, not forgetting to kiss her fingertips as he ate the sweet. He tried to kiss her but she pulled away, leaning back towards her end of the tub, grinning.

"I wonder what our parents are doing right now." She murmured, playing with one of the rose petals floating at the water surface. He chuckled in response, making her raise her eyebrows. "What?" She asked involuntary smiling at the sound of his laugh. "Well, my parents are probably doing nothing but I'm quiet sure that your dad is already freaking out about 'his little girl' alone with someone like me." The girl giggled as she imagined it. "And what is 'someone like you' going to do to me?" She asked flirting shamelessly, knowing he would call her flirt. Apollo smirked sinisterly gulping down the rest of the liquid in his glass, putting it back on the table. He then leaned in so close that their noses were touching and she thought he would kiss her, but instead he leant in closer so his lips were next to her ear. "Bad things." He whispered causing her to shudder in anticipation. Then the sun god kissed her powerfully, moving forward so his body was pressed against hers, head to toe. He pulled away only to breath before attacking her again with nips and kisses and licks all over her body. She gasped and moaned under his ministrations, feeling hot and, well, turned on. She buried her fingers in his hair, ruffling the already wet golden locks. She took a sharp breath as he bit at a particularly sensitive area on her neck, before he sucked at it gently massaging it with his lips. Through the haze fallen over her mind she barely registered the possibility that she would have a couple of hickeys tomorrow, not really caring about it. She was on her honey moon, for the gods' sake!

Apollo lifted her, without breaking the kiss and carried her towards the bedroom, not bothering with towels. He gently laid her down on the soft bed pulling away to look into her eyes for a moment. She put her hand on his face, trying to put everything she felt, every single emotion into her gaze, hoping that she would read all the love, the devotion, the passion there. She was promising herself to him and only to him. Promising that she would be his, for the rest of forever.

"σ 'αγαπώ" He whispered switching to his native language, knowing that she would understand him. And this single word held so much feeling that she felt her heart flutter in her chest. Every doubt she had had in his love vanished and for the first time she was absolutely sure in his feelings for her. "I love you, too." She found herself saying back.

He was slow and sweet that night, doing his best to make it special for them both. Later she was lying in her front on the bed just enjoying the silence of the night. Apollo was half sitting next to her drawing figures on her bare back. She sighed in content, making look up. "What?" He asked, half smiling.

"I'm just happy." She answered softly as he kissed her shoulder.

"Me, too."

They stayed in silence for a while, not needing to talk to be comfortable around each other.

"I kept you awake, didn't I?" Percy didn't need to turn around to know that he was smirking widely. She rolled her eyes playfully. "You certainly did, but know I'm exhausted." She groaned burying her face in the pillow.

"Come here." She gladly rolled right into his waiting arms and snuggled closer to his body. He wrapped his arms around her and covered them both with the blanket that had been lying aside. "Good night." She murmured, yawing and placing a small kiss on his still naked chest, before closing her eyes and relaxing. He stayed awake for a while, watching her sleep. Her hair was spread around her like a dark halo and her read lips were slightly opened and inviting. He shook his head slightly before putting his head on top of her and letting the dreams take him away.

Apollo woke up early the next morning. His eyes immediately straying to the beautiful woman, goddess, lying next to him. She was his wife. His mind still couldn't wrap around this thought. How did he get so lucky? He reached out to caress the side of her face. She appeared asleep but by the picking up of her heart beat he knew she was awake. He leant down and kissed her on the lips. She immediately responded ruining her sleeping façade, but well, she didn't regret it.

"Good morning." Percy grinned as they pulled away from each other. "Morning, Sleeping beauty." He retorted with a wide smile.

Rolling her eyes, the girl stretched feeling a bit sore because of last night activities. "What are we doing today?" She asked, looking up at him with bright eyes. "Hm…" He pretended to think about it. "How about we stay here all day and-" His hand was tracing the line of her hip as he spoke, but she pushed him away, blushing deeply. "Why don't you show me around?" She asked sweetly, batting her eyelashes, knowing that he just couldn't refuse. "Alright." He agreed with a sigh and she grinned. Men were so easy to manipulate sometimes.

"Come then!" She got up and get dressed, happy to see her clothes already folded neatly in the wardrobe. Apollo still hadn't gotten up, observing her quietly from his comfortable position. She caught his eyes and winked, walking out of the room. "Get up, lazy boy!" She called behind her laughing.

She found the kitchen surprisingly quickly and busied herself making coffee and breakfast. The fridge was fully stocked and it wasn't hard to find the things needed to make decent pancakes. And, of course she made them blue. "It smells delicious!" Apollo exclaimed walking into the kitchen. "What are you making?" He asked leaning over her shoulder to steal a glance at the pan.

"Pancakes." "Um, are they supposed to be blue?" The sun god asked with a confused expression on his face that made her laugh. "They are cool, aren't they?" She whined noticing his expression. "Say something against my pancakes and you will be left hungry."

"Alright, alright." He raised his hands in surrender and went to sit at the table, patiently waiting for the breakfast. Finally she finished and presented a plate full of blue pancakes.

He took an experimental bite. "You know, they are actually delicious."

"I told you." She replied with a smug smile.

This afternoon Apollo really took her sightseeing. First, of course, he took her to Delphi. It was beautiful, she decided the first moment her feet touched the ground. He told her stories about it and told her what it had looked like in ancient Greece. And for a moment she could almost see it. The Huge temple of Apollo, with priestess in togas hurrying around, the Oracle sitting in the corner and the thousands of people coming to ask for her advice and help and the huge theatre where thousands of spectators enjoyed a performance. Quickly, she decided that having a Greek God for a guide was unforgettable.

"It's a bit sad, you know." She said, sitting down on one of the theatre seats. "All of that is gone now, leaving only ruins behind."

"The world changes." Apollo whispered, sitting by her side. "But we, the gods, don't." He sighed, rubbing his face with his palms. "It is so hard sometimes. To adjust to the new world. To learn to live in a different time, with different customs."

Percy reached towards him, taking his hand in hers. "I'm here." She whispered, snuggling closer to him. "That would never change."

"Thank you." He lifted their intertwined hands, kissing her fingers. "I love you."

They stayed like that for a while just enjoying each other's company. There was no need of words.

"Where to next?" He asked after a while, trying to light up the mood. Appreciating his effort, Poseidon's daughter smiled. "How about Athens?" "Your wish is my command." And they both disappeared in a flash of bright golden light, only to appear again in front of a huge temple, located on a huge rock, right above the sea. She didn't need him to tell whose the temple was. She could feel the familiar power all around her. "Poseidon's temple." Apollo murmured quietly and she nodded. She already knew.

They continued their trip, succeeding in visiting almost half Greece for one day. They went to Zeus' temple, the Acropolis and finally the temple of Athena. Percy was really unwilling to go inside, but her husband convinced her that his half sister wouldn't do anything bad in his presence. "It's beautiful." Percy whispered twirling around. "You know, this is where your dad and Medusa – um-" Apollo started, hesitating how to say it.

"On my gods, I really don't need to know this, Apollo!" She cried covering her ears with hands and squeezing her eyes closed.

"Why? It's like you don't do the same things at night?" He laughed at her horrified expression.

"Alright, I don't mind that your family are so open with each other, but I do not want to know about my father's sex life." He laughed again shaking his head slightly.

Later, they were both sitting at the beach, side by side, enjoying the sunset.

"Hey, Apollo, who drives the sun chariot now if not you?" She asked suddenly.

"Well, my sister, I think." He answered, looking towards sky. "I asked her to do it, until I take my responsibilities back." He stayed silent for a moment. "You know, I was hoping that you would come with me as I do it when we return."

"I'd love to." She smiled reaching out to press her lips against her. The sun god wrapped a hand around her and pulled her close. It was heaven.

Percy felt like she was dreaming. But even if all of this was just a dream she didn't want to wake up. Never.
