On to chapter 2! From this point onwards, everything will be happening on the island. I wanted to give the context in the first few chapters. I decide to upload this so quickly after, due to the support on the first chapter. I honestly didn't expect to get so many follows and favourites. If you left a review I have responded at the bottom. Thanks, a lot and Enjoy!
Chapter 2 – Settling in.
He knew the Olympians were going to do everything in their collective power to keep Percy happy after how severely he had embarrassed them, but any expectation of his paradise was well and truly underestimating them.
His house was the most beautiful building he had ever seen. He wasn't an architect lover like Annabeth, but he could see the beauty in his new home.
Inside it had everything anyone could ask for, pool, movie theatre, leisure rooms with games and other ways to waste time, a huge kitchen with an unlimited supply of food and more bedrooms than he could count. There was also a library, gym and training area.
The oceans around them were the calmest he had ever seen. He knew had left his dad in an awkward situation, but he was glad to see he wasn't mad. He would always love Poseidon for abstaining during the war.
Outside the house was a huge area that looked perfect for gardening, as well as another pool. The rest was just beautiful beach in every direction.
A short, irritated sounding cough brought him from his thoughts.
Standing in front of him were the 10 girls of his harem, all with a slightly different expression.
Piper and Katie were giving him a small, almost comforting smile.
Silena was being her usual bubbly, flirty self.
Drew was looking at him in an uncomfortably seductive and objectifying way.
Zoe was glaring a hole through the side of his face. He understood why, she couldn't have been comfortable with this, but neither was he.
Bianca looked almost as angry as Zoe which caught him off guard. He didn't think he had ever seen her angry. She was almost as intimidating as Zoe.
Hazel was looking at her feet, shoulders slumped making her look unbearably innocent and sad.
Calypso would look around the island for a few seconds, before glaring at him and the repeating the cycle.
Reyna and Rachel were looking at him in a way he wasn't sure how to describe. It was like they were remembering what could have been but was now a fucked-up reality.
He took a moment to just soak in the sight before him.
10 of the most attractive woman he had ever known.
Piper, Silena, Drew, Rachel, Reyna, Hazel, Zoe, Bianca, Calypso and Katie.
Different sizes, shapes and ethnicities, meant absolutely nothing to Percy.
They were all stunning, and all his (it would take a while to get used to that he realized.)
"Well" Percy began, "everyone knows why you're here right?"
Drew snickered, whilst some of the other girls turned an interesting shade of pink.
"Yes, we know why we are here Percy" responded Silena "Now can we go get ourselves comfortable or are you going to continue to awkwardly stumble through an introduction?" she finished with a smirk.
"Well, umm, yeah if you all want t- to get sorted that's o-okay" Percy eventually stuttered out.
Honestly it wasn't his fault he couldn't talk to Silena, she was unbelievably pretty as well as a giant flirt.
When he'd first arrived at camp the only thing more intimidating than Silena was Annabeth.
He could deal with girls who wanted to smash him to oblivion like Clarisse, but a pretty girl flirting with him? That he couldn't deal with when he was twelve and even elven years later he couldn't deal with them effectively.
The girls wandered off in different directions, Calypso and Katie seemed to be heading towards the gardens, whilst the Aphrodite girls as well as Rachel, Reyna and Hazel were going to check out their respective rooms.
The former hunters were heading to the training area as would be expected but he had to talk to them before things got even more awkward.
One look into Annabeth's startling grey eyes and she knew what he needed to do. A quick nod from her and he started after them.
"Zoe, Bianca wait!"
Neither of the girls looked any different than when he had last saw them. Zoe was as looking as graceful as ever. She was the taller of the two, with beautiful copper-coloured skin that complemented her deep brown eyes perfectly.
Bianca shared the black-haired braid, but otherwise looked very different to Zoe. She had olive skin, much lighter than Zoe, while her eyes were much darker. Some may have thought they were brown, but when looking closely they were as black as obsidian. It was undeniable they were both attractive.
Zoe turned around and stared coldly. "what do you want Percy?" Bianca asked exasperatedly.
"I just want to know that your both okay, because I know neither of you would have wanted this, but it wasn't my choice" Percy said.
Zoe's eyed him suspiciously, "If you didn't want this then why are we here on an abandoned island with the task of serving our master in any way he may ask?"
Percy understood the bitterness in her voice, "Zoe, do you honestly think I would want a Harem? The only thing that stopped me from turning this mess down was Annabeth persuading me it was in the best interest of the general populace."
"But that doesn't explain wh- "
"The reason you're here is because the Olympians demanded I have at least 10 concubines" he stated simply "and I was always going to pick people I had had positive interactions with before, I wasn't just going to pick the prettiest girls I could find, I wanted women I could actually enjoy the company off"
They both looked at him silently. They shared an unspoken conversation and looked back at him slightly less hostilely.
"I knew there was a reason I liked you" said Zoe no longer looking like she wanted to gut him, but not exactly positively either, "but that doesn't mean I'm going to spread my legs for you on command!"
"Obviously" replied Percy, rolling his eyes "which is fine because I'm not going to command anyone to do anything they don't want to with me. That's something THEY would do, I'm not a monster like that!"
It looked like Zoe was going to continue arguing, but Bianca stopped her and whispered something to her. The seemed to have a small debate which Bianca won.
"It's fine Percy," Bianca said, "We know you respect us and our boundaries, and as long as you do that we won't cause any problems. Will we Zoe?"
"No." Zoe responded sullenly.
Percy apologised one last time, before thanking them for their time and headed back to the house to find Annabeth.
He must have spent 15 minutes wandering around the absolute labyrinth off a mansion before he found any human lifeform. It wasn't his girlfriend though, it was the girl he had hoped to avoid at least for a short while. Silena.
She reminded him too much of Aphrodite. He thought she would look perfect no matter how she did her hair or makeup. It was unfair how beautiful she was.
He had seen her with many different hair and eye colours, even if it didn't make sense she somehow seemed able to change her eye colour. Today she had settled on nice straight brown hair with some big baby blue eyes to complete the look.
" Is my master lost?" she asked teasingly a twinkle in her eyes.
"N-no, just t-trying to f-f-find Annabeth" he eventually responded, look as red as a tomato.
Silena just grinned at his obvious discomfort, "Why would that be?" she asked innocently, "looking to break in your new bed already?"
His mouth was open, but no sound would come out of it. These bloody Aphrodite girls were going to kill him before any monster or god even got close.
"N-n-n-no of c-c-course not!" he just about responded.
"Your so cute, you know that Percy? Your absolutely gorgeous, but a small bit of flirting gets you stuttering like a broken cd."
Percy wasn't low on self-confidence, he thought he was a relatively attractive guy, but to be called absolutely gorgeous by Silena surprised him.
It shocked him so much that he couldn't really respond so she thankfully saved him "Annabeth's in the master bedroom waiting for you to return, ill talk to you later Percy" she said while smirking.
He took a second to wonder why, then he felt the kiss on his cheek and looked up to see her throw him an overly seductive wink, causing him to light up like a fire truck.
I know everyone was hoping something would happen. I can only apologise and say you should be happy with the next chapter if that's the only reason you are here.
Yolo – Thanks for the kind words. The character development you're looking for will happen, just not as fast as in path of conquest.
Henrie – Again, thanks for allowing me to adopt this concept, I hope you enjoy the story!
Randy – Thanks! I have done the first 8 chapters, so that is the absolute minimum you should expect, but obviously hopefully more.
Mare – Pretty much what I have said above. Thanks, there's still a lot to come.
Vortex – You bring up a good point. I hadn't planned on putting Thalia in, but because of what you've said, I think she might make a cameo at one point. It may just be for the confrontation, not sure yet.
JC RH – Not planning on abandoning, I get mad when people do it, so I'd be a hypocrite if I did. I don't think I want to do a Khione type scenario. I'm not a fan of writing non-con scenes at all, and the type of scene makes me uncomfortable. If I think of something like that, I may add it, but I don't think it will be as brutal.
Thanks again to anyone who favourited, reviewed or followed. I think I will upload 1 chapter a week, probably ever Friday, so be on the lookout then.
