It'll only take you 2 seconds)
Chapter 10
Aphrodite's Advice Taken
(Percy's POV)
After Keith walked off, I stayed at the beach a little bit longer. The more that I thought about it, he was right. It's like I could feel the pull of the moon on me for the first time. I climbed up on the rock that he was sitting on and just sat there for what seemed like hours. The sound of the surf just pulled me off into a peaceful sleep. But I felt kind of bad, sitting here like this, surrounded by the waves and under the full moon, it reminded me of when I was with Calypso. I hope the gods kept good about going easy on her…I still felt something there between us. Just don't tell Annabeth. She's my whole world, but she'd be devastated if she knew I was thinking about Calypso.
"Hey Seaweed Brain! Where are you?" I heard Annabeth shouting. But my voice wouldn't work, so, I willed the water to shoot a fifty foot geyser straight into the air to give away my position. Feeling the water fall on me was just what I needed to snap me out of it. I jumped off the rock and walked to meet Annabeth.
"Hey Percy," she smiled as she got closer to me. "Where's Keith? Didn't I see you two come this way?" It took all I had to pay attention to her question, for some reason, I couldn't help but focus on how beautiful she was at the moment.
"Huh," I answered sophisticatedly. "Oh, he went back to his cabin. Sorry, I stayed back so I could think about all this." My eyes never left hers. They were so gray and stormy, just like my insides. I couldn't bear this for much longer, but for the time being I was controlling myself.
"Oh, well I guess that's ok." She smiled. "He's not going to our cabin is he? I mean, I know that he said he's staying in Artemis's cabin, but things can change." She was kinda nervous, I could see it. I just smiled and kissed her. I stepped back and looked at her and she was stunned.
"Wh-what was that about?" She was still surprised and it was kinda cute on her.
"I just wanted to," I shrugged. "And no, he went to his cabin. He wanted us to be together." I grabbed her hand and walked to the log that I sat one when I was talking to Keith. I sat down and she sat on the sand at my feet, laying into my chest. I ran my fingers through her hair and we let the waves wash against us.
"Well that was nice of him." She looked up at me and smiled. Then she gave me a wry grin. She sat up, leaned in closer and softly kissed my jaw line. I tensed up for a brief second then relaxed. She chuckled and continued kissing up my jaw until she got to my lips. She put her hand on the back of my head and kissed harder and more passionately. I picked her up and had her straddle me, she looked a little confused, but she didn't ask questions.
I then made my way to her neck; it was so soft, so slender. I gently kissed from her jaw all the way to her collar bone. She let out a soft sigh and I continued. On my way back up her neck, I stopped right at the midpoint. She felt a grin come across my lips on her skin and asked, "What are you do-" I cut her off, because at that moment, I started to bite. Not too hard, but enough to cause both pain and pleasure.
"Oh gods Percy," she gasped, clawing my back. "You've never bitten me before, I just realized that." When she pulled away to look at me, I saw in the moonlight that I had left a mark. I grinned devilishly. "Oh jeeze, I hope I have something to cover this up. I mean it's not like I actually carry makeup with me. I suppose I could ask one of the Aphrodite campers if they could help, but…" She trailed off and stood up. I was just sitting there, dumbfounded, what happened to the hormonally charged Annabeth? I was finally about to make my move and then this goes and happens.
"Uh, Annabeth," I asked. "How're you feeling?"
"Just fine Percy, why do you ask?"
"Oh, uh, no reason." I had a million questions buzzing in my head, but I didn't know how to ask them. So I went for the simplest one. "Do you wanna go back to the cabin?"
"Sure, with all the excitement that's gone on tonight, we need some sleep. After all, Capture the Flag is tomorrow and we need to be fully rested." She pulled me up and then started walking back towards the cabin. No hand holding, no arms around the waist, nothing. I was getting concerned. I mean, it's not like I needed to be touching her every 3 seconds, but ever since the end of the war, we've been inseparable.
When we got back to the grounds, she started heading towards the Athena Cabin. "Um, Annabeth, where ya goin?" I asked her, starting to get really scared.
"Oh yeah, that's right. I moved in with you, didn't I? Sorry." She turned back onto my path and kept walking if nothing ever happened.
When we reached the cabin, she saw that our beds were so close together and blushed. "Oops," she chuckled. "Forgot about that, hang on, let me fix it." She walked over and made a space big enough for another bed to fit between us. "There, that's better. I'll be right back, I'm going to change." She picked up her duffle bag and ran to the bathroom. I don't know what happened to Annabeth, but I wanted the sexy one back. Don't get me wrong, I love Annabeth when she's sexy or not, but I was really ready to make a move.
I decided that it was best to just let it go. There was nothing I could really do, so I took off my shirt, put on some sweat pants and hopped into my bed. I took out Riptide and started fooling around with it. I'd un-cap it, then re-cap it, then un-cap it again and re-cap it mid transformation. I hope Zoe wouldn't mind me abusing the sword like this. I got bored after a while and started playing with the shield Tyson made me. He added new pictures, some of a maze, some of The Battle for Olympus, they were very intricate. I spent so much time looking at the shield, I'd lost track of time. I looked at the clock next to my bed. It said 11:11, "make a wish," I muttered. I closed my eyes and made one. I never really believed in the whole 11:11 thing, but it didn't hurt to try.
Just then the lights when out and all the windows closed, the door locked and then…silence. It was pitch black, now I've been in these predicaments before, but with Annabeth alone in a bathroom, probably unprotected, I got jumpy. "Anna-"
"Shh," I heard her whisper. "Calm down Seaweed Brain. Just…relax." At that, my body just melted, she was right next to my ear. A candle flickered on, and then another. Until I saw her, barely, but I saw her standing at the edge of my bed, she raised her arms up slowly, and all the candles lit at once.
"A neat little trick that I picked up from the children of Hecate," She grinned and put her arms down. I let my eyes get adjusted to the dark, it took a few minutes, but when I finally saw her…I couldn't help but drool.
She was standing in front of me with a very seductive grin. She was wearing a very thin, very silky sea-green nightie. Her hair was down around her shoulders and lower back, not in her usual ponytail. She walked closer to me, but I couldn't move. She sat on the bed and leaned in close to my face. She whispered, "And what did my big strong Hero wish for?"
I couldn't speak; I tried to, but ultimately failed. I looked behind Annabeth and saw another figure. It was Aphrodite, my eyes widened and she winked at me before disappearing. I looked back at Annabeth and gave her a confused look.
"Oh, you're wondering why I'm acting like this when on the walk back I was so distant?" I barely managed a nod. "Well, you see, I wanted to throw you off. Earlier tonight, when we were having our, 'Fun time', I decided that enough was enough. I want you Percy…I want you bad."
My eyes felt like they were popping out of my head, my heart raced, my breathing increased…was she actually going to do this? I've always known Annabeth to be a bit forceful and controlling but this is ridiculous. Yet, some part of me enjoyed this.
"Annabeth, are you…are you sure? I mean, we're only 17. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to, but do you really think we're ready? I mean, you're the Daughter of Athena, have you really thought this all the way through? Or are you behaving like an Aphrodite girl?" I didn't want to stoop that low, but I had no choice. I wanted to make sure that this was the right thing…for both of us.
"You better believe I'm damned sure. Also, while I was renovating, your dad helped me out with one more thing…He seems to be the only one on Olympus, minus Aphrodite, that wants us together. He helped put a seal on this building that blinds the gods from watching us. He wants this as much as we do. He wants a union of Athena and Poseidon. He wants to end this rivalry."
I was shocked, my father helped orchestrate all of this, no him AND Aphrodite. That's why she said you're welcome. It makes sense now. I sighed.
"Well, if you're sure…" I grinned and relaxed. I laid my head back and closed my eyes, waiting for her to make the next move. And it didn't take long. She crawled on top of me and gently scratched down my chest. Wherever her nail touched, goose-bumps sprouted. As she slid her body up against mine, the silk seemed to intensify feeling. I moaned and bit my lip. I heard her chuckle and then she kissed my neck softly.
"Is my big strong hero getting weak kneed?" she goaded. I growled at her and relaxed even more when she started to suck on my neck. God it was incredible, the action left my head spinning. She sucked harder and harder, at this point I was letting me member run wild. And she could tell.
"Hey now," she laughed as she rubbed against him quickly. We both moaned a little at the same time. She was so warm, I could feel it. "He'll get his turn. Right now I just want this." She leaned in and kissed harder than ever before, just pouring more and more passion into each kiss. She licked my lips, waiting for permission, but didn't wait. She forced her tongue in and decided to conquer that new land in the name of Athena. That's when it was my turn. I flipped us around so fast she didn't know what happened, she stared at me bewildered and almost hungry.
"My turn," I grinned and kissed at the top of her nightie and she gasped. Her increased breathing made her chest rise and fall, and rise…and fall….and ri-. I snapped out of it and continued kissing. All along the rim until I got to the start of her cleavage. I looked up and grinned.
"You better," she chuckled. "If you know what's good for you." She said smugly. But I did something she didn't expect, instead of kissing there…I licked. At the start and a little further in. She gasped and moaned and gripped the sheets. After seeing this, it turned me on all the more. I took my tongue and I licked along the rim of the nightie again, until I stopped at her neck.
I could still see the mark that I gave her, I grinned evilly and bit again at the same spot. She gasped again and moaned even louder. While I kissed/bit/sucked and licked her neck, I slowly crawled over top of her more. So close that I started rub 'him' against 'her'. Her moan turned into a beg.
"Oh fuck," the first time I ever heard her curse. "Gods Percy, don't fucking tease me. I want you, please." Her eyes became serious and loving. "I love you Percy, now please, make us one."
