Artemis and Holly slept peacefully that night, naked yes, but their love for on another warmed them down to their feet. They were curled up together, like two rabbits huddled up in their warm den during the winter. It was actually the best sleep both had ever had in a long time.
The next day . . .
Artemis woke up, finding the bright rays of the sun peaking its way through the window. As he rolled off the bed to observe the beautiful cloudless day, he suddenly felt cold. He looked down at himself and almost fell over. He was completely naked! What happened that had led to this, he pondered. He yawned, stretching his bare arms and legs, and turned around to return to the warmth of his bed when he noticed another being on his bed.
"Who -" he started. Then everything rushed back to him. The pleasure, the excitement, the heat of love, everything; all he experienced with Holly. Holly rolled around, cuddling the thick blankets on the bed, and once again, as Artemis gazed at her face, he admired her beauty, the perfect curves of her face, and her special elfin ears. He also noticed she had a cute way of breathing when she slept, a quick inhale from the mouth and a slow, releasing exhale through the nose, and her chest rose up and down peacefully. Her beautiful breasts were sticking out halfway from under the blanket, the nipples still hard from the intensity of the previous night. He climbed back onto the bed and gently shook her shoulder.
"Holly." He whispered. Her eyes slowly opened and she smiled when she saw him looking over her.
"Artemis." She whispered back. "I love you." She lifted her head and kissed him lightly on the lips."You were wonderful last night."
"You too." Artemis kissed her back and rose, motioning Holly to get dressed as he did so himself.
"I gotta go on a little errand today for Foaly," said Holly as she got up. "A little something for Callabine, actually."
"When will you return?" Artemis asked immediately.
"Oh don't worry love, I'll be back within a few hours."
Artemis looked a bit disappointed when he heard this. He walked out of the bedroom and went towards the kitchen.
"I'll cook us some breakfast before you leave." Artemis said. Holly looked after him and a curious look formed on her small face.
"You know how to - oh." Holly nodded her head in acknowledgement. "Butler?"
"Yes, Butler." he sighed under his breath.
"Hope he taught you well," Holly teased. "Wouldn't want to throw up your first cooked meal."
"It's not my first meal." Artemis lightly snapped back. Holly knowingly shrugged her shoulders.
When she finally walked through the door to the kitchen, Artemis already had eggs and bacon sizzling on the pan, surprisingly in a professional way too. Holly was actually surprised for a few moments. As she sat down on a wooden chair, Artemis finished the eggs and bacon and tossed them onto two plates. He passed one to Holly and took a seat himself, immediately munching into breakfast.
"You sure are hungry. Maybe I worked you too hard." Holly joked. Artemis mumbled something that sounded like you sure did through his chewing mouth. Holly finished breakfast first, and quickly hurried to grab a coat before opening the door and disappearing from regular human eyesight. In reality, she had only used that incredible invention of Foaly (It's Foaly's current baby) Rumor has it that every decade, Foaly has this new amazing invention which he treats as if his own offspring. Well, it's just a rumor.
Artemis finished breakfast a few minutes after Holly leaves, walking back upstairs to tidy up his bedroom. Peculiar. He thought. It's actually my first time cleaning up my own bedroom. Usually, Butler completes that task for me. Mmmm . . . probably because of Holly. He dismissed the thought as he walked into his bedroom, taking his best shot at cleaning up his own room. Well, he thought, there's always a first time. He found himself pondering once again. There was NEVER a first time for Artemis. At least that's what he convinced himself over the years. And so, cleaning up his bedroom was what he spent doing the whole day. He knew he was terrifying what it came to these matters, he just didn't admit it. I am NEVER, NEVER EVER doing this again, He groaned silently to himself as he finally placed the last pillow on the sofa. How long had it taken him? Five hours? Six? He didn't count, he didn't even care, he just wanted to sit down and relax to a cold glass of juice. So that's exactly what he did. And it was not for another hour until Holly came back through the door, panting.
"Phew! I thought I was going to drop!" she exhaled heavily.
"What were you doing, Holly?" Artemis finally found his voice.
"Uhhh . . . some stuff, like manual labor that's all."
"Manual labor?!" Artemis almost died of shock. "Your small body frame was not made for manual labor.
"Hey, quit worrying, I still have enough energy to spend time with you." she said, still panting. Artemis blushed.
"Come on Holly. I'll make us dinner. You can shower in the washroom next to my bedroom."
"You sound as if you're my mother." she poked him teasingly. "Hmph" was all Artemis could manage. From there on, everything flashed by like the wind traveling atop the cold mountains of the Himalayas. They finished dinner and retired to Artemis's bedroom. Holly gasped in surprise as she entered the room.
"Wow, Artemis." She grinned. "Y- you've been busy today.
Artemis nodded, recalling the torture he had gone through, and shook his head regretfully. He didn't have to suffer so badly just to please her did he? Hmmm . . . the great Artemis Fowl HAS gone insane. Meh, I'll blame it on puberty. Artemis sighed to himself. Might as well enjoy myself. Holly excused herself and went to the bathroom, telling Artemis to wait for her on the bed. Here we go again. Artemis thought. When Holly opened the door to the restroom, she looked towards the bed and to her surprise, Artemis not there. That's odd. Holly said to herself. As she walked out the bathroom, a figure rammed into her and slammed her on the wall, though, the figure's hands cushioned her crash. The figure lifted her up and grabbed her by the thighs, elevating her slightly above his head. She looked down at the figure's face and realized it was only Artemis, laughing lightly.
"You surprised me, Arty!" she laughed and put her arms around his neck. In response, he kissed her fiercely on the lips, fighting for control. His tongue flew into her mouth, exploring her tongue, and she flicked his tongue back out. Eventually, their tongues curled around, almost wrestling like two love birds. The magic flashed around their point of contact, making them glow in the dim light of the room. They twisted their heads together, foreheads close. Artemis could smell her sweet, flowery breath, giving the feeling of sleepiness. As they kissed, Artemis lifted her again, carrying her onto the bed and rolled over so Holly was on top of him. The whole time, they didn't break apart even once. Their passion glued them together; neither of them having the intention of letting go. As they separated to breath, Artemis wriggled in his hot clothes.
"Don't you think it's a bit hot?" he inquired innocently. Holly rolled off the bed and stood up. She put her two hands on her black tank top and removed it smoothly, throwing it to the side. She stripped herself of her skirt as well which she also tossed aside. As Artemis observed her, he mentally approved of her cute light pink panties and semi-clear bra which allowed him to see through the garment just a little.
"Good enough?" Holly challenged him. "I think you should take off something too." Artemis complied, removing all his clothes aside from his checkered Armani boxers. Holly put her fingers on her lips, giggling.
"Aw, cute boxers Arty," she almost coughed, attempting to stifle a laugh.
"Ugh," Artemis groaned crossly.
"Arty, whatever, forget what I said. Let's try something different today." She said slowly. Artemis paled for what seemed like the fiftieth time. Why do I always pale whenever she says something I believe is exhilarating? he thought, slightly annoyed at himself.
"So what do you think, Arty? Are we going to . . . try it?" Holly carefully placed her words. Artemis paled again, fifty first time by the way, and immediately gave himself fifty one mental slaps. He shuddered at last and replied confidently.
"Let's do it."
