Percy PoV
"Good morning, dear," I greeted, watching my girlfriend waddle into the kitchen with a fuzzy blanket wrapped around her. "How are you this morning?""Cold and hungry," she replied, wrapping the blanket tighter around herself.
"Fortunately, I can solve both of those issues," I remarked, sliding the hot pancakes onto a large plate.
With a snap of my fingers, everything was set up in the dining room. I pulled her close and kissed the top of her head. "Happy six month anniversary."
She smiled and kissed my cheek before sitting down to eat breakfast. "Happy six month anniversary to you, too. You've been really good to me."
"Well, I am trying to keep you around," I murmured, giving her a quick kiss before sitting down next to her.
"So, did you have anything specific in mind for today?" My girlfriend asked between bites of food.
"Cater to your every whim,"' I responded, pecking her quickly on the cheek. "What about you? Did you have anything planned?"
She took a deep breath. "I want you to take my virginity tonight."
I started coughing so hard that nectar shot out of my nose.
Failing to suppress a giggle, she dabbed at my face and chin with a napkin. "I know what you're going to say, and yes, I'm sure. I've been thinking about it since before you
were sent down to Tartarus."
As I leaned over to kiss her, there was a knock at the door.
Artemis sighed and walked over, looking through the peephole to see who had just interrupted us. "It's Aphrodite."
"Ignore her and come finish breakfast," I suggested, patting the seat of the chair she had been occupying.
She rolled her eyes and returned to her spot to finish up her pancakes. "I must admit, I'm warming to the concept of blue pancakes."
"Maybe we could cook something together," I suggested, picking up my empty plate. "There are a lot of foods that can be dyed blue."
"Handmade pasta?" She suggested offhandedly, finishing her pancakes and placing her empty plate on top of the one was holding.
"That's going to take a while," I remarked before kissing her forehead. "We should probably get started then."
Attempting to expedite the process, my girlfriend cleared the table and had everything necessary for cooking out on the counters with a snap of her fingers.
We went into the kitchen and looked over at the screen.
It was displaying the instructions for how to make pasta by hand, and the counter in front of it was empty.
I lifted the goddess onto the counter and took her face into my hands before I kissed her.
She wrapped her legs around my waist and grasped the edge of the countertop, moaning lightly as I became more aggressive in the kiss.
My hands came to rest on the countertop and her arms around my neck before she pulled away to take a breath.
I chuckled and kissed her cheek as she awoke from the slightly dazed state the interaction seemed to have put her in.
She cleared her throat. "We should really be getting started on the pasta, Percy."
"Of course, dear," I replied with a smirk. "Don't want to run out of time tonight."
Artemis opened the bags of flour and added the amounts to the large bowl. "Your cockiness raises my expectations for your performance."
I kissed her cheek and handed over the eggs. "I love you, Artemis."
She smiled as she cracked the eggs. "I love you too, Percy. Now add the oil."
Doing as told, I unscrewed the bottle and poured the small amount into the bowl before setting the bottle aside, preparing a silly, sarcastic remark. "I suppose now you're going to tell me I have to knead the dough?"
"Well, you are pretty good at kneading things, though you could always use a little practice," she replied cheekily.
