Percy PoV
I kicked the door shut, eyes on my wife.I trapped her between the sink and myself, kissing her furiously.
As Artemis pulled away for breath, she sat up on the counter and discarded her shirt.
I followed her example before her lips found mine.
Lips and teeth on each other, my wife was left in her panties, me in my boxers.
My lover moaned loud enough for me to question the soundproofing as my lips met her breasts.
Artemis PoV
His hands were on me, lips on my skin, and it was the most incredible feeling.
Gods, it felt like it had been centuries since he'd touched me like that.
The tub filled with cold water, and I gasped as I slipped in.
"Why did you make it so cool?" I asked, aware that my nipples were now fully erect.
"You're so hot, I figured you might need to cool down," Percy replied, cupping my breast.
The water became much warmer as my husband kneaded my breasts, biting my neck.
His hand glided up my thigh, and I shivered in anticipation.
"Excited?" Percy asked huskily, nipping at my ear.
I gasped as his thumb ran along my slit.
"P-Percy," I stammered, grasping his shoulder as I felt something much larger brush against me. "S-stop t-t-teasing."
"Mmmh, what first?" He pondered aloud. "Should I finger you? Oral? Or skip the foreplay all together?"
I shook my head.
"You want foreplay?" Percy guessed. "Your wish is my command."
"Ohhh," I moaned, hands going to his hair as the man I loved started ravaging me.
I continued to moan, pleasure overwhelming me as his tongue explored.
My legs wrapped tightly around his head, and I screamed my lover's name in ecstasy as I had my first orgasm in over two months.
Percy's head emerged, and he brought his lips to mine. "Shall we bring this back to bed?"
I nodded, dazed.
My husband slipped inside of me, eliciting a gasp as he stood.
With me mounted on his member, Percy walked back to bed.
I bit his neck in an attempt to keep from moaning with every step he took.
Soon, I lay underneath my lover as he thrust in and out.
I awoke in the morning on his chest, rubbing my eyes as I tried to sit up.
Percy decided that it was best to sleep in, pulling me back to him.
I giggled. "Percy! I need to get dressed. What if someone comes by?"
"Then they'll learn to knock," he mumbled with a sleepy smile.
I bit my lip as his hand ran up my backside, around my stomach, resting at my breast.
I removed his hand. "Not now. I need to feed Cassie."
My husband sighed, releasing me to do as I wished before slowly showing signs of a functioning being.
I slipped on a clean pair of panties and sweatpants, grabbing one of Percy's shirts as I went to check on my baby girl.
She did her best to sit up, and I started smelling something rather foul.
After changing her diaper, I lifted the shirt to breastfeed her.
As Cassandra had her breakfast, my husband walked over in a shirt and sweatpants, mugs of warm nectar in hand.
I handed Cassie to her father as I took the nectar.
We curled up on the couch, allowing our daughter to familiarize herself with the family pet that doubled as a security dog.
"Gods, Percy," I murmured. "My legs are so sore."
"You wanted it," he replied, pulling me close.
I sat there, curled up in my husband's lap as we watched our child play with the dog.
With a clap of thunder, Styx appeared.
I gulped. "Hello, Styx."
The goddess looked over at our child.
"You are aware that there's a second punishment for breaking an oath on my name, yes?" She asked.
I nodded, feeling Percy's hands on mine.
"Artemis," he began hesitantly. "What is she talking about?"
I bit my lip. "Styx has come to administer an illness."
"The illness was known to mortals as the Black Plague," Styx explained. "This one just isn't contagious."
"No," Percy shook his head. "Give it to me instead."
I kissed my husband and looked over at baby Cassandra. "Cassie, mommy loves you." Cassie smiled. "I wuv you tu mama." I smiled, then felt a prick in my arm. Immediately, I began to cough up ichor.
Percy put the television on for Cassie and carried me to the bedroom.
He wiped the ichor from the corner of my mouth and left godly foods by my nightstand.
"Rest, love," he whispered. "I'll take care of things. You just focus on getting over this sickness, okay?"
I nodded, curling up and falling asleep.
When I awoke from a deep slumber, Percy lay next to me with an arm around my waist.
I began to cough, feeling bad for waking my husband.
He reached over and grabbed a tissue, wiping the ichor from my chin.
My lover then began spoon-feeding me a nectar-ambrosia soup.
"I'm going to ask Athena if there's anything that can be done," the father of my child explained, grabbing his coat. "Arnold's watching Cassie, and you just need to ask for me, okay?"
I nodded. "Percy...I know this seems bad, but I am a goddess. Even if this sickness kills me, which is highly unlikely, I will reform."
"The thought of losing you scares me, Artemis," he whispered. "I know it wouldn't be forever, but it scares me. I'm not used to the concept that getting killed means going away to reform and just come back later."
"I know you're in pain, Artemis," Percy told me. "I know you're a strong woman, but I hate knowing that you're in pain. You're right here in front of me, and I'm not helping you get better. I-"
I slapped him. "Shut up, Percy." He looked completely and utterly confused.
"I'm immortal. You were born mortal, and you don't understand that this isn't fatal," I said. "Yes, it hurts. It's painful to cough up ichor, but it's not the first time. I know you love me, but as much as you want to, you can't just make it go away. Go ahead and see if anything gets rid of this sickness, but don't be upset if there isn't."
My husband gaped at me for a minute before kissing my forehead and leaving.
He came back fifteen minutes later with a vial of dark liquid.
"What on Olympus is that," I asked, sitting up.
"Black Plague antidote," Percy replied. "And Athena explained the immortality thing. Getting fatally injured for us is like a fish being released after getting hooked. The fish is injured from the hook, but it
heals easily."
I nodded and consumed the antidote.
Definitely one of the most disgusting things I've ever tasted.
I became very tired, barely hearing my husband explain this was normal.
He took me into his arms, kissing my forehead before laying me back in bed.
