Percy POV
"Oi what are you two doing" someone called from behind.
We jumped apart immediately. Man, it was just only a few more millimetres and I could taste the sweetness and warmness of that lips. Whoever interrupted will be never forgiven. Artemis was looking at her laps and her face was red like a tomato. Just like the last time.
I was about to say something when Aphrodite ran out from the bushes with Apollo and Hermes following her steps. Urg these people.
"Hey what are you doing here," Aphrodite asked.
I swear I would have to do something with her sometimes. We didn't prepare for this situation. Artemis and I didn't have any excuse. I couldn't just say we were talking and about to kiss when you people came to interrupt. Huh, best response ever. If I say that, the consequences would be horrible. Did I mention Zeus is the first who volunteer to execute me?
"Uh, we were talking"We were watching stars" Artemis and I said at the same time.
Oh no. I should have told her to make some excuses for this first. Now we're screwed. Aphrodite raised her eyebrows. Why is she so annoying?
"We were watching stars"we were talking" Artemis and I said at simultaneously again but in other's way.
We looked at each other. I guess she was thinking. Why are you so stupid seaweed brain. I didn't really care anymore. If Aphrodite finds out this, the whole Olympus will know. I need to decide my last wish now.
"Ok just think that you were talking," Aphrodite said making a quotation mark.
"But it's true" Artemis admitted.
"Ok," Aphrodite sneered rolling her eyes.
"Hey, do you want a drink. It's really nice to drink something under the moonlight. really COOL" Hermes suggested with a smile.
By the look of his eyes, I could tell there is something wrong. Even a dumb would know. If you stay in front of the king of pranks, you always have to stay alerted. Plus there was Aphrodite here, she's also called the queen of pranks. If they cooperated, well I don't know what to say. Artemis narrowed her eyes and I gave him an incredulous look.
"Aw, don't be a chicken. I guarantee you there is nothing in the wine" Apollo warranted.
Still, I knew there is something wrong with the drink, but before I could say anything, Artemis made it first, but opposite with what I was going to say.
"Huh don't challenge me, I haven been in a drinking competition before. I don't scare that little wine" She said.
"Great," Hermes said and gave her the wine. She drank it all with one breath. Wow.
"How about you Percy. Are you going to let her drink alone?" Aphrodite turned to me with a smile.
Of course, if I back away, I would be called a coward for eternity. So I took the cup and drank it. It tasted like the normal one in the party. Hum, look like I was a bit too hard on myself.
"Why don't you guys-Uh" Artemis started but collapsed before she could finish the sentence. Luckily I caught her just in time before her head touches the hard ground.
"Well, I think we should go. Percy, you take care of her yeah?" Hermes asked.
What the Hades. They made her drink that wine and now I have to take care of her. But Artemis was really weak. She couldn't handle a cup of wine. Or was it because the wine?
"But-" I started, but Aphrodite cut me off.
"Come on you are the man. I think we should go. good night"
She winked at me and the three of them ran away. She said I am a man. yeah, 17 years old man. Now, what can I do? I scratched my head and picked up the drunk goddess bridal style, then carried her to her palace.
Luckily the palace is not too far from where we were. It didn't take me long to get there. I laid her on the bed and went to find a towel. Her palace is pretty big and you can smell the forest scent everywhere. I would be the most honourable man in the world because I have come inside the place of man haters goddess. I came back to her bedroom and she wasn't on the bed. Oh mind, what's happened this time. Suddenly I felt something behind me, turning back and I got tackle by Artemis.
This time, instead of her arms around me. Yeah, they were but her lips were on mine too. She kissed me hungrily like I was the best thing for her. Her tongue licked my lips and she kept nipping the upper lip asking for entrance. I wanted to get along with her, but I knew this isn't right. That was not her and if I allow her. The consequence would be horrible and I would repent for the rest of my life. I tried to push her back, but she just kept locking her lips into mine and lugging herself at me.
Suddenly I felt it, the wine, something wrong with the wine. I felt something strange that I have never had before. Is it lust. I believe it is and I couldn't control it anymore. I lugged myself at Arty. Our lips moved in sync. I opened my mouth and let her tongue explore it. Our tongue dancing and trying to get into the other's mouth. She jumped up and wrapped her leg around my waist. I pushed her to the wall and we kept lips locking. We changed in many positions. From standing to me sitting on the chair with her on my laps. then I laid on the bed with her on top. We kept kissing all the time and I don't even know could I hold the breath for that long. I travelled from her lips down to her jaw then her chin. Her skin is soft like silk and her scent made me want to do it more. I attacked her neck and the first moans appeared. Now I've found her weak spot.
"Oh oh yes Percy. Make me yours Perce" Artemis moaned and it really turned me on.
She took off my shirt and started taking hers. I really wanted to let it happen. But something still holds me back. She doesn't love me, this is just the poison. It was controlling her. I took all my power to take back the control of myself. I pushed her back, despite the struggling of her. I still managed to hold her still.
"Artemis wake up. Wake up" I said shaking her.
She was wearing nothing on top except her black bra. Her breasts are firm and perfect. Not big like Aphrodite but still perfect with me. Her flat stomach has a bit of muscle due to the running. Her eyes slowly started changing from lustful back to normal. She looked at me with a confusing look before she noticed her shirt was off. That is when she gave me a slap. What the Hades is wrong with her. First, she wanted to have s*x. If I didn't take back the control, things could get even worse and also she was sitting on me, this cannot be called using or raping her. She jumped off me and took out her bow, then aimed at me.
"I was wrong to trust you Perseus. You are just like the other males" she snarled with tears readied to flow.
"No Arty. Just let me explain" I pleaded and put my hands up in surrounded
"Explain? How can you explain when you were on my bed and my shirt was off"
"Don't you notice that you were sitting on top of me?"
This time, she looked taken back.
"It's the wine Artemis. It was controlling your mind. I was affected too." I explained.
"Just go, Percy. you don't need to say anything more"
"But-" I started.
"GO before I change my mind" she yelled and raised her bow.
I just sighed. I couldn't do anything more. She cannot understand. If I stayed there, I would just make it worse. I closed my eyes and turned around, then walked away, leaving her behind with tears were flowing like a stream.
