Chapter Title: The Sweetest (And Hottest) Moments With A Goddess Like Demigod

Alternate Chapter Title: My Cabin (and Chris) Are So Based

(A/N: The first of three chapters where it's just no monsters, no distractions, just pure and sweet Colton and Kayla love. Rated between T and M because of a little bit of spicy, suggestive language and stuff. Probably a long chapter too, so let's get started here. Plus, a little something extra.. snippets of something from Book Two:

... Summer 2009 ...

Nightmares .. Demigods ... .

Dancer ... ... King ... Queen..

... ... evade ... fear ... ... ... .

You might already know at least one of the people this is referring to.. but can you guess the other two?)

6 days after the Battle Of The Labyrinth..

Once my injuries had healed up and we could take the bandages off, I think it was safe to say that the training wheels on our relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend had really been taken off.

Despite the doom and gloom that pervaded camp in the days, and then weeks after the battle, there seemed to be a bright spot for everyone, something that at least made them feel like not everything about their future was so dark and unknown. That bright spot was Kayla and I since for all of our shared history, with each other, there exuded a happiness that couldn't really be brought down for very long. I still had yet to be given the other awkward talk from my girlfriend's parents - which to be honest, after being interrogated by her siblings I was not looking forward to that - but for now, I didn't really care much, because to the rest of camp, we were two souls in love, bounded together by drama and trauma that the rest of camp had witnessed too. They knew full well that much of the story between me and Kayla had occurred at the same time as they were living their lives.

Either way, with a camp like this, privacy with your girlfriend is definitely hard to come by. There's only so many places you can be when the camp pretty much knows exactly where you frequent on a twenty four hour basis. Thankfully, since, you know.. we were still on break from doing anything worthwhile on orders from Chiron, we still had a good amount of free time on our hands.. so on this morning, Kayla decided to invite me down to the lake for some fun in the water. Knowing that Percy was by now gone back to New York City, having left early this morning.. we didn't have to worry about any water shenanigans, which was nice because knowing Percy.. he was likely to mess with me in some way.

So with all of that mind, I knew I was going to have a good time with Kayla, but I don't think even I realized what I was about to experience or the fact that Clarisse and Chris deciding on their own to go out a couple days ago and come back with a bunch of sleeping bags, since they wanted to do something nice and let my other siblings have the luxury of being able to sleep out underneath the stars for once, since by now the Harpies had started to pick off any monsters that dared get too close to Camp Half Blood at night time, including snakes and spiders.. would turn out to be one of the most unintentionally based moves those two have ever made.

I woke up on July 7th to the sound of silence as per usual. I was still waking up at the butt crack of dawn as I usually did, but on this morning instead of taking my gear and going on patrol, I got out the pair of swim trunks Clarisse had gotten me for my thirteenth birthday and put those and only those on instead, putting on a pair of gray and black flip flops instead. Taking a large towel out of the closet and closing the door quietly, I crept through the cabin full of my still sleeping siblings - and Chris - and got out the front door quietly and closed it quietly, only to come face to face with Lee and Aruna as soon as I turned around.

I gulped, and started sweating, since both of them had psychotic looks on their faces. "Do you really want me to yell for my siblings this early in the morning and have them chase you around camp while angry as hornets?" I asked them after a few moments when I had calmed down.

They paled.

I grinned. "Good.. now if you two will excuse me.. I'm off to be with my girlfriend now.." I said, thinking I was in the clear as I walked past them before Lee grabbed my arm. Crap.

"I swear to the gods on the River Styx, Colton.. that if I find out you did you know what with her.." he said menacingly, and I gulped, knowing full well what he was talking about, and what I probably was not going to do for probably the next couple dozen years after today. You're not going to have sex with her, not as long as Lee Fletcher still lives dude.

Truth be told, I wasn't even planning on going that far with Kayla at all to be quite completely honest here. I really don't think I wanted to do so.

Besides, I was raised better than that to be honest.

"Warning taken seriously.." I replied, and then just headed off to the lake, only wearing the swim trunks. I will admit, the fact that I got wolf whistled at by Aruna, Aurora, and Victoria before I had even got out of the cabin area was a testament to the fact that out of all the guys at camp, seeing me shirtless was like extremely rare. Really, really fucking rare.

"Have fun!" Victoria called out from the Apollo Cabin, albeit in a more quieter tone so as to not wake people up, but given that she said it in an excited tone, I think that was my first hint of what lay in store for me today with my Kayla.

I got up to the crest of the rise between the cabins and the lake, looked down at the dock, and I stopped dead in my tracks. Because words could hardly describe the sight that awaited me. Like no seriously, I'm not kidding, words outright failed me to describe how I thought about what I was actually seeing right now.

Holy fuck.

She was simply laying on her back on a beach towel on the dock, sunbathing with her hands behind her head and resting her head on both her hands and a pillow she had brought out here. She was only wearing a two piece bikini, but fuck - was there any outfit that Kayla Knowles couldn't appear like a goddess in?

Her body fit perfectly in the black and orange bikini, which definitely looked like it was made out of the highest quality materials.. but her curves, her size, everything about her.. I had to admit, this girl was truly a goddess. She was completely perfect in every conceivable way on gods. And the fact that she was all mine.. like, yum. Yummy indeed.. because seriously.. the moment I saw her like that, that's when I knew for a total and utter fact.. I was in over my head.

As soon as I saw her, I blushed really hard. Quite possibly harder than I ever have prior to now. I must have been staring at her a little too long, because she turned on her side, saw me, and flashed me the cutest smile she could even give me. I wanted to melt into butter right then and there, or at least disappear off the face of the earth with Kayla right then and there, because god damn it, if my siblings saw this, they would never let me even have the slightest chance of even living this down.

She beckoned me over with her finger, and I felt my body move almost as if I was being drawn down to the lake by a siren or something similar. For all I know, she could have been charm-speaking me - she couldn't do so though - and I wouldn't have given that much of a fuck about it at all. Because right now, I wanted her pure and bloody simple.

As soon as I got down there, and placed down the beach towel I had brought as she got up, I swear to god - it was outright hard just to find the right words to even say to my girlfriend. I felt like a massive cat had taken ahold of my tongue and wasn't letting go of it at all. After a few awkward moments of both of us blushing at each other - I don't think she even had the slightest clue of what I would look like in nothing but swim trunks honestly - I finally found the right words.

"I-I uhm.." I stuttered, and she giggled while blushing. "..gods.. you are perfect as can be possibly imagined, Kayla Knowles."

She looked away, totally flustered at the remark, before turning back to me after a few moments. "I.." she started. "I'm glad you think so about me, Colton Reynolds. Words cannot describe how much I want you right now too."

That's when I noticed the two pairs of diving flippers and scuba masks laying next to her. She notices where I'm looking and turns to look at them too, and turns back to me. "I called my father before I went to bed with you two days after the battle to ask him if he or someone could bring these here.. because I kinda wanted to explore the lake" she explained to me, still blushing as she did so.

I nodded, trying not let the lust I was feeling take over. I don't know if Aphrodite was messing with me or something, but god damn it, did Kayla make me feel hungry for her in more of a romantic way than you know what. It honestly felt really weird.

You know you want her as your queen, Typhon said in my head out of nowhere, catching me by surprise. I didn't say anything back to him, I was just shocked mentally by it. To be fair, I didn't really think being the Monster King came with actually having a Queen. Like, what the fuck was even up with people?

Like, god damn.

Still though, it really did not stop from putting on the diving flippers and scuba mask meant for me while Kayla did the same, and then once we were ready, I jumped into the lake first. Resurfacing, I looked up at Kayla, who seemed hesitant. "I'll be here for you, love.." I told her. "Trust me."

She still seemed hesitant, but then she smiled, and a couple seconds later, she jumped into the lake, splashing water into my face as she came down almost right on top of me, but I caught her in my arms. As soon as she surfaced, I blushed again. Her below shoulder length hair was wet now sure, but even so, she was still downright beautiful to be completely and utterly honest. Like really, really beautiful indeed.

I stared into her eyes and she stared back into mine, as I had my arms wrapped around her back, while hers were wrapped around both my back and the back of my neck. We just stayed there for a bit, heads floating above the water and our diving flippers flapping to keep us afloat.

Neither of us said a word, it was just purely charged tension of a hot kind between the two of us in the lake. Then, I decided to break it.

I leaned in and kissed her.. sweetly yet full of desire and lust. She was a little bit shocked but kissed me back with the same intensity, her nails digging a little bit into my skin. Not that I minded.

I deepened the kiss with her after a couple moments, sliding my tongue into her mouth and she sent her tongue out to meet mine. Our tongues danced, even as one of my hands slid upwards to gently cup the back of her head while the other hand gently gave her back a massage. She let out a low moan while we were making out, and dug her nails in a little bit deeper. I moaned a little too as we kissed each other for a few moments before we both pulled away, gasping for breath. Both of us were blushing - I could feel that I was while her blush was very visible.

Her face was a little concerned, since she had been digging into my skin. "Does it hurt?" she asked softly. I shrugged my head no.

"That's a relief.." she muttered, before we kissed again.

- — - — - — - — -

Life. Was. Sweet.

Those were the three words I was feeling as me and Kayla explored the lake from the surface, swimming next to each other, hand in hand. She and I would be leaving camp in early August, but for now, it was our month. We swam all around the lake for gods know how long, for I lost track of time. Once we were done, we got out of the lake and stood on the sandy shore close to the dock (A/N: using movie version of the camp lake here) and while still wet, we kissed each other again. This time, I kissed her neck a little bit, causing her to let out an audible moan.

She really blushed furiously.

After that little make out session, we both dried off, though Kayla wanted to keep sunbathing for about another hour. I obliged, and as much as the temptations kept telling me to do naughty things with her, I absolutely refused to do so because right now, fuck those damn urges. Fuck them.

I'm her boyfriend, I'm not some weird pervert. I need to act like her boyfriend god damn it.

I was really busy with my thoughts as I walked back towards the Ares cabin to at least get a shirt to wear as well as a couple of books and a chair, so much so that I didn't really pay much attention to how the other girls in the Apollo Cabin were outright feeling flustered over the sight of me in nothing but swim trunks and flip flops, as were many of the other girls in camp, minus Clarisse since I didn't see her in my vision.

"Holy shit!"

"Colton looks so hot!"

"Kayla's one lucky girl!"

I can imagine that if Kayla heard that, she be feeling pretty jealous, and rightfully so. I was her boyfriend, that's it. The other girls at camp could all flirt and go crazy over me for all I cared - which was not one cent at all - but honestly, joke's on them for not even doing enough to catch my eye before I got that prophecy. The joke is on all of them.

After I got the shirt, books, and chair, I just sat next to the dock while Kayla sunbathed, enjoying the history books I was reading and life as a whole.

Luke was still out there, planning whatever he and Kronos were plotting to do next. But for now, life was perfect. Compared to next summer, this summer was easy.
