Just One Kiss

Percy

"Ok...you see that girl down there?" Apollo gestured down the mountain at sparkling river, where I could just make out a figure with long black hair walking towards it. "I bet you can't get in her peplos by the end of this week."

I rolled my eyes and laughed. "Really? It's just another mortal woman. How hard can it possibly be?"

"Um, actually very hard. Believe me, I've tried it...man, she is hard to tame," he paused. "And another thing – she's one of my little sisters' maidens, so be warned. Oh, and by the way she has to be willing. So you're not allowed to knock her out or get her drunk."

My face paled. Gods, did he want to get me killed? Artemis would never forgive me – in fact she'd send me all the way to Tartarus if I even tried to flirt with a hunter. "No way, that's suicide."

"Nothing's impossible bro...I'll give you one thousand drachma's if you succeed."

I shrugged, it's worth a shot. "Two thousand and it's a deal."

"Fine but you've only got until the end of this week."

We shook hands and I gave him my signature grin before flashing away in a column of water. I reappeared by the stream and focused my eyes on the black haired beauty beside it. Volcanic eyes and full red lips and a body that was enough to make any man start drooling.

"Hey."

Her sharp eyes met mine and she immediately scowled and walked off. I ran up to her and flashed her a smile.

"What's a beautiful maiden doing here all alone?"

She ignored me and looked straight ahead, refusing to meet my eyes. I don't get it...usually by now I'd have them throwing themselves on me and confessing their undying love. Maybe my deviously good looks aren't up to standard today.

"So may I ask your name? I bet it's as beautiful as a summer meadow or a – "

Flick.

A dagger was suddenly pressed against my throat. Celestial Bronze. Yup, I've always liked fire in a woman.

"Listen, boy, I know your type. And whatever your intentions are, you're going to have to give up. If you ever harass me again, I'll make sure your remains will never be found. Am I understood?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Can this woman get any hotter?

She withdraws her dagger and continues to walk down the hill with her expression cold and steely. I stand alone, wondering if I'm losing my touch. Apollo flashes down next to me and starts laughing.

"See, Perce? She's a tough one. Just give up 'cos it's never going to happen."

"Shut up," I say and storm off, frustrated – no, humiliated – that a woman has bested me so soon.

...

Zoë

Artemis walks up to me, her expression is dark with murder. She must know what happened a few minutes ago...

My anger built up. Stupid, stupid, reckless, idiotic boy. If he gets me kicked out the hunters, I am personally going to kill him. I recognise him from statues and he's just like the stories say – a man whore. I know his games, he seduces women, takes what he wants and leaves them alone and pregnant.

"Zoë, we're packing up soon," Artemis snaps at me. There's none of her usual warmth in her voice.

"Milady, I'm sorry about – "

"It's not your fault, I should've known that it would happen sooner or later," her expression darkened. "He really had to betray like this, didn't he. I'm just glad that you resisted him."

I nodded.

"Go and get changed, we're leaving in at noon."

I bowed my head in respect and hurried off to my tent, quickly changing my peplos into my hunter's uniform.

"Zoë, you need to be careful."

I turned and met Phoebe's narrowed eyes. "Yeah, as if I'm going to break my oath because of some arrogant god of hurricanes and earthquakes."

"It could happen to anyone, Zoë," she persisted, folding her arms. "Remember what happened to Kayla? She ran off – "

"With Apollo, yes I know what happened." I sighed. "I'm not dumb, Phoebe."

"I know, but even just one kiss can break the oath."

"Just give me a break, ok? I can handle myself. I'll never see him again anyway."
