Annabeth:

My back arched at the feel of Dan's hands quickly dancing over it as he pulled me in closely, kissing my neck, down to my bare chest as his hands eventually found what they were looking for as the cupped one of my breast while the other trailed lower down my spine. Judging by the quickness in his movements I could tell that his frustration was high. This was usual for him he as his touches were always face paced. An even quicker paced when something went wrong usual this meant a sales pitch fell through or gods know what else was going on in his life didn't turn out well.

His hands moved further down my body until they stopped at the top hem on my panties. He removed them swiftly throwing them to floor as he picked me up and placed my body further up on the bed.

Dan never really wasted time getting to the point of our meetings. Even with him trying to get closer he still ( for the most part) knew what our arrangement was.

He fully undressed himself unbuttoning his collared shirt fast and pulling his pants and boxers down, revealing how hard he was. He gave a one motion nod of his head to me indicating that he wanted me to spread my legs.

My breath hitched as he entered me pushing in deeply and slow. I could hear his breath in my ear as his speed picked up. He tried keeping pace and the small beads of sweat from our bodies convey the heat between us.

Dan's pace slowed down as he flipped over on his back pulling me on top of him. In terms of how he operated this was usually his time cool down and enjoy the view. I grabbed his cock pushing it slowly back into me. Dan looked tired from my point of view but still reeling to go until he finished.

I never really kept track of how long our sessions would last until he was ready to start talking about us taking things a step further and today was no different.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Dan, please. We've had the conversation before and at this point it's getting really annoying." I said while still laying on the hotel bed.

"Give me a chance, will you please. We only meet for things like this." Dan said gesturing at the bed and myself.

He was right. Our 'dates' were just hookups that we told family and friends were 'dates' so we could have an excuse to not feel too guilty about me leaving Daphne for a few hours and Dan not hanging out with his friends when he didn't want to.

The problem was Dan wanted more from me than I was willing to give and he didn't understand that.

"Even if we did take things to the next level; now's not a good time. I mean Daphne just started school a few weeks ago and Per.." I cut myself off before I could finish my sentence.

I had vaguely told Dan about Percy once. Drunkly. I don't exactly remember what I said but even asking about what all I said about Percy the next day had pissed him off. Mentioning that Percy was temporarily living with me would not have been good. I could see hints of anger in Dan's eyes from mentioning Percy's name again.

"What about Percy?" He said, rising from the bed as he moved towards his discarded clothes.

"It's nothing."

"Well, it has to be something. You almost mentioned his name." Dan's voice was growing into a growl with each word.

I rose up from the bed trying to quickly gather my clothes and get dressed.

"Annabeth, I just… I'm sorry." His tone was more softer. But the look in his eyes was still the same.

"Dan, I only mentioned Percy by accident and you're acting like it a crime to even mention the name of the father of my child."

"I act like this because he hurt you and I have to deal with those torn parts of you every time I want to get closer to you!" Dan shouted.

It was clear at that point that he gave up on his 'I'm sorry'.

I tried to think of a rebuttal explaining that my not wanting to get too close wasn't Percy's fault or that I was whole and not torn. Instead I took the easy way out and finished dressing only to leave as I called back to Dan say something along the lines of "there was no room to grow from our current arrangement."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"How was your date?" Percy asked.

Percy was doing me the biggest favor babysitting Daphne for the evening when he had never done so before. Usually that task fell on my step mom but with Percy staying with us it was convenient in the moment.

"It was just a date. Nothing to write home about." I tried not to sound too bitter, but Dan's constant little tantrums about our relationship pissed me off.

"Well, Daphne's down for the night and I made dinner. Oh, and the clothes are washed and folded in the laundry room." Percy said.

"Thanks Percy, but you really only needed to do one of the things you listed."

His crooked grin began to spread across his face as his right hand ran through his hair and rested at the base of his neck.

"I know, but trust me. The more I do the less guilty I feel about you taking me in."

"Well, as long as you're doing household chores, the floors need vacuumed and the fans need dusted." I gave him a small wink and chuckled

" I'm kidding." I said laughing. Quickly I could hear the sound of Percy's laughter joining mine.
