Poseidon's POV
It was the Summer Solstice, two years after the issue with Gaea. The Olympians were still a tad shaken by the entire ordeal. I attempted to pay attention to Zeus rambling on about keeping Typhon asleep and the rest of the Titans in check, but I was too distracted. The way her auburn hair was braided and resting on her shoulder drove me crazy. The look she got in her eyes whenever something good camp up made me crave her attention. How her silver dress flowed down her body so elegantly made me want her body…but I knew I could never have her. She was Artemis, virgin Goddess of the hunt.
"Poseidon! Get your head out of the sea foam" Hermes whispered as he nudged me from his throne. I returned my gaze to Zeus, hoping Artemis didn't know I was staring at her.
"Meeting adjourned" Zeus boomed as he rose from his throne. Hera did the same and led Zeus to their room, probably keeping a close eye on him to make sure he doesn't get any more mortals pregnant. I rose from my throne and began walking towards the entrance until I felt a hand rest on my shoulder. I turned and gazed into the mysterious silver eyes of the Goddess I wanted more then anything.
"Greeting Lady Artemis. Do you wish to speak with me?" I asked with a slight smile growing on my face.
"Yes Lord Poseidon. Come with me back to my temple here" she stated as she gracefully walked out of the throne room, her movement looking like she was walking in the moonlight from the windows above us. Something must have been up since she almost goes into her temple. I followed her across the courtyard and into a silver Greek temple, her name in Greek above the entrance. We walked in and I was amazed by the architecture. The roof displayed an exact replica of the night sky, a full moon in the center. The walls were decorated with various trophies, come extinct, some mythological, and some normal animals. The floor was cold marble with an occasional animal rug. Artemis led me to the center of the temple and sat on one of the leather couches. I sat down next to her, curious on what she wanted.
"What is this about Artemis?" I asked.
"There is something I've wanted to try, but it had to have been with you" she replied, her eyes locked on mine.
"What do you mean by that?"
"I wanted to do this…" she whispered before pressing her lips on mine. I was caught by complete surprise, but it was like nothing I had ever experienced before; although that didn't stop me from kissing back. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into my lap so she was facing me. Her arms slid around my neck, pulling herself closer to me. My tongue ran across her bottom lip, wishing to enter. She softly moaned as she granted access for me. We fought for dominance, making it feel like there were sparks flying through the air. My arms slid down past her waist and onto her butt, feeling perfectly in my hands. She pulled away and looked deeply into my eyes.
"Poseidon…you know this is forbidden" she stated in a serious tone.
"And yet it feels so right" I whispered as I lightly squeezed. She nuzzled her head in the crook of my neck, trying to mask the moan that escaped her mouth.
"But what if my father finds out? He'll tear you to pieces" she whispered fearfully. I moved one hand and stroked her cheek.
"Artemis…I can't tell you how long I have waited for you. If you do not want me, I understand. But if you do, you must take a chance. What do we have to lose?" I asked softly.
"You don't have anything to lose…but I'll lose what makes me different then all the other goddesses…" she whispered, a tear sliding down her cheek.
"We don't have to tell anyone about this…it could be our little secret" I replied as I wiped away her tear. I had never seen her acting like this…but it caused my respect for her to grow more and more.
"What about Aphrodite? Shouldn't she be able to know when these things are occurring? I mean she is the goddess of love" Artemis asked, her hand reaching up and resting on mine.
"Surprisingly no. She just knows that something is going that is deemed strange" I answered confidently. After all…Aphrodite had no idea about me and Sally when it happened.
"I knew there were some decent men out in the world…" she muttered under her breath.
"So what is your choice?"
"I choose you" she whispered. I returned my hand to her butt and rose from the couch. Artemis led me into the bed room that was in the far back of the temple. The room was decorated with even more animal trophies and the bed was a queen sized wrapped in a wolf-skin blanket. I set her down on the bed and smiled at her.
"Are you sure you want to do this? There is no turning back"
"I want you Lore Poseidon, more than anything in the world"
~Meanwhile~
Aphrodite was jerked away from her dreams; something unnatural was occurring in the world of love. She glanced over and saw Hephaestus snoring on the other side of the bed. Her head bean to ach, unsure of what was going on. Aphrodite got out of bed and walked to the stone fountain that was in the center of the bedroom. She pulled out a golden drachma from her robe and performed the summons for Iris. A picture of Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase asleep in the Poseidon cabin appeared in the mist. Aphrodite willed another picture to form, Katie Gardner and Travis Stoll kissing below Thalia's tree. Another picture formed of Clarisse La Rue and Chris Rodriguez appeared of them talking in front of the Hermes cabin.
"What could possibly be the cause of this"
