Ravenclaw Riddles

Percy's hands curled around her waist and his mouth pressed lightly against the pulse point at her neck.

"Percy, would you -" Annabeth lost the words as his hands moved slightly higher, brushing the bottom of her ribcage. Her voice came out breathy and light as she grasped his hands and tried to pull him away. "-I need to listen to the riddle or I won't be able to get in."

"Good," he said, mouth hot against her skin. "Stay out here with me."

She managed to pry his hands away enough to turn around and face him. His sea green eyes were shining and he was smirking. She lifted her chin and smirked right back at him. "Since when are you interested in breaking the rules?"

"Since you forgot to take down the hem of your skirt." His gaze darted down to the space between her socks and her skirt, where the smooth skin of her thighs was on show. When he looked back to her face he licked his lips.

Her face flushed. "I really have to study tonight…"

"You know you're going to pass the quiz tomorrow, we've spent every night this week studying."

"I've spent every night this week studying, you've spent every night this week trying to distract me."

"That hasn't been on purpose. Distracting you is just a side effect…"

"Oh, like I'm supposed to be able to focus with your hand up my skirt?" It was meant to be scathing, but instead Annabeth found herself speaking in low, hushed tones, found herself leaning into her boyfriend, found her gaze drawn to his lips…

A voice by her ear made her turn her head at the last second, so Percy ended up kissing her cheek instead of her lips. He groaned and let his head fall forward onto her shoulder.

"Where do vanished objects go?" asked the eagle on the Ravenclaw common room door.

Annabeth opened her mouth to answer, but Percy beat her to it. "Into the Stoll brother's stash of contraband, judging by how much it's grown recently."

"Incorrect," the eagle said stoically.

"Percy!" She frowned at him before turning back to the door. "I'm sorry, can I have another one?"

Percy's smile was unapologetic. "Come on, let's just go -"

"Which came first, the Phoenix or the flame?" the eagle asked.

Again, Percy beat Annabeth to answering. "To get to the other side! Oh, no, sorry, wrong bird riddle. Damn."

The eagle remained impassive. "Incorrect."

"Urgh, Percy!" Annabeth hit him lightly on the chest. "You're really frustrating sometimes, you know that?"

He curled his fingers around her wrist and brought her hand to his lips, kissing the back of her palm. "I know. Please come with me though, just for an hour, and then I swear I'll let you come back here and study."

She frowned down at his tie, but her resolve was already melting. The memory of his lips against her neck was proving hard to resist. "One hour? You promise?"

His smirk was positively wicked. "I promise."

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "All right then. But I mean it, Percy, only one hour!"

He was already leading her back down the tower, no doubt to one of the many dark, deserted corners they'd discovered together. "We can get a lot done in an hour."

The glint of Percy's eyes made Annabeth's heart race. She'd never tell him, of course, but she had a feeling what they were about to get up to would be much more enjoyable than studying alone in her common room.
