Artemis PoV
Like most, this meeting was extremely boring.It took less than fifteen minutes for me to fall asleep. One, and I mean one thing out of everything that was discussed over the four hour period, was relevant to me.
The annual Olympic Picnic was tomorrow, and you were allowed to bring one guest.
After this announcement, the meeting was adjourned.
I walked out to the entrance to the throne room, finding my lover in wait.
We looped arms and Percy kissed my temple. "How was it?"
"Four hours of waiting for a minute of information," I complained.
"Was it important?" My boyfriend asked.
"There's a picnic tomorrow, and you're going as my date," I informed him.
We stopped in front of the palace, and Percy held the door for me.
Once inside, we kicked off our shoes.
Percy held me close. "I love you."
"I love you too," I replied.
I took his hand and led my lover to the bedroom.
My boyfriend sat down, and I took a seat in his lap.
I felt his boner against my thigh. "Still thinking about earlier?"
"Not gonna lie," he said. "You're sexy as fuck."
A blush rose to my cheeks at the compliment. "Language."
Percy nipped at my ear and kissed my neck.
"This is what I get for finding a loyal man, huh?" I asked.
He nodded. "Not if you don't want to. Only as much as you want."
I kissed my lover's neck. "I guess you're lucky then."
My boyfriend looked at me strangely.
"Percy, you're the only one I've slept with. You're handsome, tall, kind, and sexually capable. All that lust I've pushed away for my vow is resurfacing now that I'm sexually active," I explained. "As my lover, I believe it's your job to deal with that."
My boyfriend carried me to the walk-in closet, to the very back where certain objects were hidden.
"I found this while you were on your hunt. Made sure nothing had been done to the toys. Disposed of any that had been manipulated," he informed.
I felt myself pushed against the closet wall, his lips on mine.
If any other man were to do this, I would have castrated him.
But this was Percy, so I kissed back.
Percy PoV
Last night was incredible. Artemis was kinky and sexy and so amazing in bed.
It really doesn't matter, but it's a great bonus.
Artemis shifted, and I kissed the top of her head. "We should start getting dressed soon if we're going to make it on time."
My girlfriend pulled the blanket farther over her head.
"How would your family react if I proposed to you?" I asked.
My goddess yawned, sitting up. "I don't know."
I kissed her cheek. "What do you want for breakfast?"
"Make burritos," she said. "We can eat them on the way there."
My girlfriend, naked from the night before, wrapped the blanket around herself and went to the bathroom.
I chuckled and got dressed, heading to the kitchen.
I got out the needed ingredients; egg, sausage, sauce, cheese, salsa, and tortillas.
It doesn't sound that healthy, but Artemis likes them with a lot of egg.
After preparing the burrito, I packed them in foil. I had debated on whether or not should make multiple and decided on one big burrito.
My lover dressed in black jeans and my sweatshirt, which I guess was now her sweatshirt.
Artemis kissed my cheek. "Let's go."
I smiled as she wrapped her arm around mine, leaning against me and rambling about what the picnic would be like.
She picked her head up from my shoulder as we approached the other Olympians.
They looked at me a bit weird, likely wondering what in Tartarus it was that Artemis saw in me.
"I'm sure you all know Percy," my goddess said. "He's my boyfriend."
Hestia and Poseidon smiled at me, and I returned the gesture.
Some Olympians brought their lovers, while some expected to leave with one.
Zeus and Poseidon argued over the method of transportation for about a half-hour before deciding we would all take a luxury bus to wherever it was we were going.
I somehow got the feeling these guys didn't know what a picnic was.
We loaded onto the luxury bus, and Artemis claimed a hidden spot somewhere in the back of the bus.
It was strangely formatted and tricked out with enchantments.
My goddess, perched on the arm of the chair, indicated I should sit down.
Not long after the engine started, there was loud moaning from the bathroom.
Artemis hid her face in my chest at the realization that a couple was having sex in the bathroom.
Demeter approached us, smiling at my girlfriend. "So this is him?"
She nodded, blushing slightly.
The agriculture goddess sat down across from us, taking note of the little details.
Soon she was joined by Athena, Hestia, and so forth until I was being stared down by the majority of the female Olympians.
Artemis cleared her throat. "Really, now?"
"Would you rather the men be listening in on this conversation?" Athena refuted.
My goddess remained silent, starting to eat the burrito I had made earlier.
"I thought I was done with the interrogations," I remarked.
"That was almost a year ago," Artemis explained between bites of the burrito.
"We should get started soon if you don't want Aphrodite involved," Hera pointed out. "Swear you will tell the truth."
"I, Perseus Jackson, swear on the River Styx that I will answer all questions I am asked within the next thirty minutes truthfully, so long as I have Artemis's permission," I swore.
"Do you love Artemis?" Hestia asked, starting off easy.
"Yes," I replied.
"Have you ever had sex?" Demeter asked.
"Yes," I repeated.
"Who have you had sex with?" Athena questioned.
"Artemis," I answered.
"How many times have you had sex with her and when was the most recent time?" Hera asked.
My goddess hesitated for a minute before nodding.
I cleared my throat. "Seventeen times. Last night to early this morning."
Artemis swallowed her bite of burrito. "Alright, I think that's enough of that topic."
"Why do you love her?" Hestia asked patiently.
I thought for a moment. "I can't really answer that question. There are so many things about her, and there isn't just one aspect of Artemis I could pick over any other."
"Name some," Hestia aided.
"She has an incredible personality. She's loyal, she's intelligent, she's a hard worker, and she's kind to those who deserve it," I listed.
"Have you thought about sleeping with other women since you began dating Artemis?" Hera questioned.
"No," I replied. "One of my domains is loyalty. I would never even think of cheating on her."
A half-eaten burrito was waved under my nose and I took a bite.
I did a good job this morning. It looked as though they had more questions, but Zeus informed everyone that we had arrived.
My goddess threw away the burrito wrapper as we piled out of the bus.
I looked around to see a water park, field, and trampoline park.
"I get the feeling we have different definitions of picnic," I muttered.
Artemis leaned in close, giving me the look.
I couldn't help but smile. "Where to first?"
She pecked my cheek. "How about the water park?"
I followed her into the area, which seemed to have been rented out for the occasion or something.
We flashed into swimsuits and looked around for a bit.
"The rocket slide looks fun," I pointed out.
We scaled the ladder quickly to get to the top of the ride.
Yes, ladder. Not stairs, but a ladder.
There were instructions to put on the provided nose plugs and industrial swimming goggles, as well as not to try moving around while in the ride.
I put on the proper equipment, stepped inside the capsule, and hit the button.
The glass panel opened in beneath me, and I was in a dead drop for almost a minute, unable to see, hear, or feel anything before I hit the water.
After that, I was sucked into a tube that spun around in several loops and shot me into the air, over what seemed to be the trampoline park.
I dove into the landing pool, making a large splash.
With the ride complete, I floated around the pool until Artemis shot out of the ride, only about a minute after me.
My goddess stood up in the pool, pushing her hair back. "That was fun."
