Let the world stop turning,
Let the sun stop burning,
Let them tell me love's not worth going through.
If it all falls apart,
I will know deep in my heart,
The only dream that mattered had come true
...In this life I was loved by you.
- Bette Midler
"...Don't forget me..."
He smirked to himself. How could he ever forget her? She made him feel things that not even Luna made him feel. Tugging at the ties to his vest, he shrugged it off along with his other clothing and slipped into the hot tub. Closing his eyes, he smiled as visions of her bombarded his mind.
Sinking lower into the tub till the water reached his chin, Artemis let out a soft moan as delicate fingers began to caress his tense body.
"Do you have to go now?" She asked as her fingers lazily drew small patterns on his abdomen. He chuckled at her child-like behavior. Taking her hand into his, he raised it to his lips and softly kissed her palm.
"The teleport won't be ready for another hour. So I have a little more time."
Beryl smiled and dragged her fingers down his chest before stopping at his waist. She gazed up at him through half-closed eyes. His hands came up to caress her cheek as he inched closer to her. Closing her eyes, Beryl lifted her face to his, her lips parting in anticipation. Artemis smiled wickedly, lowering his lips near hers.
Brushing them gently over hers, his fingers found themselves buried in her silken hair, pulling her face closer. With self control, his lips softly claimed hers, tasting the sweet mixture of honey and spice. His eyes half shut, he looked over her face with tenderness. His hands moved down and wrapped themselves around her waist, pulling her closer to him.
Beryl shuddered as his lips touched hers. A warm feeling growing in the pit of her stomach. She gasped as he pulled her closer, which allowed him to slip his tongue into her warm mouth. Both tongues danced, battling for some dominece before Beryl gave in to him.
"Artemis..."
His eyes snapped open and he turned around swiftly, water splashing out from the tub. His gaze landed on a shocked Luna. She pulled her arm back and overlooked him.
"Gomen...you just looked so peaceful..."
Artemis let out a sigh and ran his finger through his wet and toussled hair. He stood and reached for a towel but was stopped by Luna's hand.
"Artemis," she looked into his eyes and carresed his cheek, "Do you...love me?"
Taken aback by her question, Artemis took Luna into his arms and hugged her tightly. Burying his face in her hair, he sniffed it slowly. Taking in her scent, an animalistic growl came fromt he back of his throat.
Picking her up, he led her to their bed and tossed her gently onto it before gettin in with her. There they spent the rest of the night, as he made love to her, proclaiming his love for her.
He stared at the ceiling of their room, his hand unconciously stroking Luna's hair. He silently chuckled in his mind. Turning to look at the sleeping Luna, his heart constricted. He knew, that no matter what he said or did, Beryl would always rule his heart. Giving one last sigh, Artemis closed his eyes and let sleep take over.
