HP: Monochrome

Silena Beauregard

The next morning Silena woke up in her bed, not quite sure how she had gotten there. She lay there for a few minutes, putting flashes of memory into chronological order. She realized that Percy had probably carried her to bed. The thought made her blush slightly, but she rose from bed anyway, took a quick shower, put on some light makeup, and pulled on some fresh clothes. The view from the window promised a warm and sunny day, and seeing as the top deck, how she liked to call it, dominated her cleaning schedule for the day, she pulled on her new vibrant purple bikini with the strings tied to a bow behind her neck and short cut jeans.

A glance at her Alarm clock told her that she was more than two hours late. Damn... .

After slipping into flip-flops, she hastily prepared breakfast for Percy and burst into his bedroom only to find the bed empty.

Silena Beauregard cursed in a rather unladylike manner and set it down. Then she spotted the discarded clothes on the floor and frowned with disapproval. God or not, surely Percy should be capable of cleaning after himself. Silena sighed and picked up his jeans, shirt, and boxershorts and tossed them on the bed, and set down the platter as well. If Percy had left a mess here... .

The daughter of Aphrodite continued on to the bathroom, her gaze lowered to the floor, and she opened the door, briskly stepping into the room, and found herself staring at a pair of feet. Silena froze, her gaze sweeping up well-shaped calves until she realized she was face to face with her completely naked master.

For a brief moment, Silena lost her composure, a surprised scream cut off short as her jaw dropped. She knew Percy was in good shape but seeing him completely naked exposed his truly divine physique, each muscle in his torso shimmering through his dripping wet tanned skin. While the torso alone might have been enough to have half of her sisters running for ice cubes, her gaze froze on the formidable veiny package.

"Ahm...well...I..," Silena stuttered, her mouth suddenly very dry as she tried to form words as the seconds ticked by ever so slowly. It was the strangest sensation. Goosebumps seemed to appear all over her skin, and the room seemed awfully warm all of a sudden.

"Fuck, Silena!" Percy cursed and lunged from the shower door for a towel.

Usually, she would have scolded him for his foul language and she might have, had she not still been in shock. Snapping out of her stupor Silena spun around and bolted back out, slamming the door behind her.

The girl almost collapsed against the wall, pushing her hair out of her face and then covering her mouth with her hand, a stupid grin spreading across her face and her cheeks flushing bright pink. What had just happened?

"Breakfast is on your bed!" Silena yelled through her door and then hurried off, her panties feeling uncomfortably moist.

"Oh gods," Silena muttered herself, her cheeks flushing an even deeper shade of red.

She quickly hurried back upstairs and was eager to take any excuse not to discuss the incident with Percy and stepped out into the morning sunlight to begin with her day's cleaning routine. She began by pushing back the deck chairs to scrub the area around the pool. Unfortunately, the chore wasn't particularly challenging, and her idle mind quickly went back to naked Percy, imagining what it would be like if he touched her, wrapped those muscular arms around her from behind to drag her back into the bathroom to kiss her neck, or have those strong hands exploring her body.

When she realized what dangerous territory her fantasies had wandered off to she grimaced, trying to shake off that strange pressure in her low abdomen. "What are you doing, girl," Silena chided herself. "Don't be stupid; it's just a penis...!"

Shaking her head at her own antics and trying to ignore that wetness in her panties, she tried to focus her mind on the task ahead. As if to make her situation worse, Percy chose that moment to step out into the sunlight.

Smiling, the God walked over. She ignored him as long as possible, steeling herself to avoid another embarrassing situation.

"Good morning, Silena," Percy greeted her awkwardly.

"I am so sorry," Silena burst out. "I should have knocked!"

Percy looked down at his feet for a moment and smiled awkwardly. "Probably," he agreed. "Don't worry about it."

Silena bit her lip. "Is there anything you need?" she asked.

"Not right now," Percy assured her. "I am going out with Apollo. Should be back in the early afternoon."

"Okay, ..." she said and awkwardly looked down at her feet.

Silena tried not to, by the Styx, she really did. Sadly she couldn't help herself but peak after him as he walked off, her gaze settling a bit lower than could be considered appropriate.

Once he was safely out of visual range, she allowed herself a few minutes to sort her mind and decided that there was nothing to be worried about. She was neither the first nor the last girl that got flustered or horny over a hot guy. In her defense, her guy problem was a very attractive one and, at the time, an entirely naked god.

For most of her life, cleaning had been enough to keep herself occupied. It had also served to establish and enforce order in her chaotic and uncertain existence. Be it as a young child with a father that still hadn't gotten over Aphrodite inevitably leaving him and trying to make ends meet with a daughter that kept having amusing incidents. Or entering the high-pressure environment that was school life and navigating that truly toxic maze of cliques and an ever-changing social etiquette that she had been quite poorly equipped to navigate due to lacking a certain ruthlessness and being hampered by ADHD.

At camp, everyone always seemed to assume that she had her shit together, that she had been the popular girl back home as well. Truth be told, just like many of her kin, Camp Halfblood had been the first place where she had established a permanent social circle and made her first real friends. Katie, her somewhat little sister Annabeth, then Charlie, and after a few years also Percy. The Titan war and her misdeeds and poor choices had driven her close to suicide on more than one occasion. During that final phase of her life, Silena had been almost obsessively compulsive on the matter.

However, what had served to maintain her sanity for so many years seem to finally fail her. Before long, forbidden thoughts of the new man in her life invaded her head once again, and no amount of scrubbing could stop Silena from imagining what it would be like to have Percy Jackson's undivided attention. The craziest part was that she had never really had these fantasies about Charlie, despite still very much loving him. It was that topic that finally turned her sweet fantasies bitter.

Charlie, a topic that she had steered well clear of for the past few days. However, she knew that the timer was running down and she would have to work that up sooner rather than later.

Unwelcome feelings threatened to overwhelm her carefully maintained emotional status quo, and she might have finally broken down then and there if someone hadn't chosen that moment to ring the doorbell.

After wiping away a few stray tears, the daughter of Aphrodite headed towards the front door, half expecting to find Percy returning early.

Instead, she found herself face-to-face with a pretty olive-skinned girl. It took Silena a moment to place the ethnicity but finally realized that this girl was Native American. Judging by the orange Camp Half-Blood shirt, she was probably a demigoddess. Silena noted that she had quite remarkable eyes.

"Hello?" Silena asked, mentally slapping herself for not wearing a shirt over the bikini.

"Is this Percy's place?" the girl asked.

"You are?" Silena asked bluntly. She wasn't usually this rude, but she wasn't about to hand just hand out information to a stranger, no matter how easily accessible that information was.

"Ahm Piper Mclean," The girl introduced herself. "So this isn't Percy's place?"

Silena sighed, finally making the connection. So this was the infamous Piper Mclean, her half-sister. "Ah, he mentioned you, and yes, it is..." Silena replied awkwardly.

"You are?" Piper countered. Piper Mclean's eyes widened as recognition struck. "Gods, you are Silena Beauregard? Aren't you supposed to be dead?"

Silena shrugged. "I do hate to fall short of expectations."

"Oh gods no," Piper exclaimed apologetically. "I just meant that I totally thought you were dead."

"I was,... now I am lord Peresus's humble servant."

"Humble servant?" Piper asked suspiciously, her gaze wandering over Silena's revealing attire. Silena knew that Piper had understood her euphemism for what it was.

"Percy isn't too pleased either about the arrangement," she explained hastily. It strictly speaking wasn't her place to share, but Silena felt obliged to defend Percy's honor on the matter. She wouldn't have his good reputation tarnished over her decisions.

"Is he here?" Piper Mclean finally pressed.

"I hate to disappoint you, but no. If you like, you can come inside and wait..."

Piper smiled. "I would be happy to."

"This place is pretty sweet," Piper admitted as Silena led her half-sister through the atrium and into the inner courtyard.

"Feel free to take a seat at the pool. Anything to drink?" Silena asked.

Piper smirked but shook her head. "No, thank you. I've heard so much about you," Piper admitted. "You know, I am currently the head counselor of the Aphrodite cabin. You are still everywhere there. They all miss you...especially since Drew... ."

Silena Beauregard frowned. "After all that has happened? My gods, I wouldn't want them to grieve over me after all this time."

Piper shrugged. "I hate to break it to you, but your footsteps are hard to fill around camp. Even if having Drew as a predecessor makes me look great in comparison."

Silena frowned, "I know Drew has always been a piece of work but cut her..." Silena trailed off.

The two young women sat down on the deckchairs. Silena figured that she really needed to get back to work, but it would be rude to just leave Piper waiting there alone, so she joined her half-sister at the pool. "So, what do you do here?" Piper asked, clearly fishing for gossip. Silena almost smiled. No matter how formidable, a daughter of Aphrodite would always be a daughter of Aphrodite.

"Oh, I merrily keep the place in order," Silena explained, catching her innuendo. "How is everyone doing? Travis and Katie still together?"

"Oh, they are," Piper confirmed. "And as cheesy as ever. Travis now eats his cereal."

Silena grinned. "Everyone eats their cereal around Katie."

It was easy to like Piper, very easy. Much like herself, she seemed to carry her heart open for the world to see, even if her sister seemed a tad more aggressive. Finally, well into the afternoon, her glorious overlord was heard from again. He definitely looked glorious, Silena privately thought to herself, that triangle crease.. no chasm between his triceps, biceps, and deltoids... rippling softly as his arms swayed mid-stride.

"Piper," he asked, sounding equally surprised and cautious as if the prospect of daughters of Aphrodite turning up in his life uninvited had been furrowy ruined for him.

"How are you doing?" she asked awkwardly, and Silena found herself musing that she wouldn't much mind being in those arms.

"Still kicking..." Percy replied sheepishly. "You?'

"Not so well," Piper admitted.

"Can we talk,...alone?" she asked, glancing at Silena. "No offense..."

"None was taken," Silena said smiling. "I will give the two of you some space." Silena hurried off before her thoughts could take any further detours and ended up in horny jail.

Percy Jackson

Even walking off Silena was a distraction, Percy noted. Her long-toned pail legs, that ass that seemed to demand to be slapped, and slender waist.

He tore his gaze away and looked down at Piper, who seemed too occupied with her problems to notice Percy sexually objectifying her sister.

"Ahm, so. What can I do for you, Ms. McLean?" he asked and earned a raised eyebrow.

"Have you heard anything from Jason?" She asked bluntly. "I know the two of you aren't been the closest of friends but ..."

"No,..." Percy admitted hesitantly, clueless as to where this was heading.

"So he didn't say anything?" Piper pressed.

"No," Percy promised her. "What's going on?"

Piper nervously rubbed her hands together. "I know we were never that close but apparently you are a good guy to talk to...you know not overly judgmental," she started.

Percy nodded, encouraging her to carry on. "Well, there is this girl at my school..." she started. "And she is a really cute blond, and I think I developed a small crush on her."

Percy bit his lower lip and clearly mistook his silence. "Nothing ever happened," Piper rambled. "I know I have a boyfriend and I immediately backed off and went no contact when I realized that things were getting complicated."

"I wasn't making any accusations," Percy assured her, and they sat back down, ignoring the part that Piper likely was hoping to convey.

"So, what is Jason's problem?" he asked mildly. "So you like girls too, another thing the two of you might have in common." It was an innocent comment that seemed to dim her mood even more.

"I don't know. I don't see him being homophobic or anything, he is fine with Nico," Piper explained, sounding quite distraught at this point.

"He just threw this huge tantrum yesterday and has been giving me the cold shoulder since. When I asked what the problem was, he said and I quote: "Absolutely nothing!"

"Well, it does seem like he is upset," Percy agreed and scratched his chin. "I'd love to help, but I never got the measure of the guy. Nothing against him, we get along well enough..."

"I know this is bad timing, but what would you have done if Annabeth told you she was bi?"

Percy shrugged. "Asked her what kind of boobies she liked? Start hoping for a three-way? I don't think I would care, I trusted her completely and I still do today. Maybe Jason is insecure about competition. Let us face it; you girls are intimidating."

Piper bit her lip. "Can you keep a secret? It's nothing bad, just really personal."

Percy sighed. "Sure."

"Well, Jason made a move on me, a few weeks ago...:" she started.

"You are a couple..." Percy pointed out helpfully.

"I mean like sex. Things were just great, clothes were coming off and things were being touched...you know...and I got cold feet when it was time to go third base..."

"And Jason has been upset ever since?" Percy inquired.

"Oh no,...well maybe. Definitely disappointed, can't blame him for that. But not mad. He didn't say anything; it's just been bizarre and awkward ever since. You think I've pushed him over the edge?"

Percy shrugged. "How should I know? Did you start that make-out session?"

"No," Piper insisted.

"Well, I don't know. Then, I really am not in the position to judge."

Piper raised an eyebrow. "You know, for a god, you are not that useful?"

"You know, for a daughter of Aphrodite, you are astoundingly bad at your relationship?" Percy mocked back. "Anyway, how is Oklahoma?"

Piper shrugged. "It's fine. Truth be told, I am more of a big-city girl. I find myself missing LA." Piper admitted. "Thanks for coming out all the way to help with the move. I am currently looking for Colleges, got a spot at NYU. I'd be a lot closer to camp there if anything bad happens..."

Percy grinned. "So we might be seeing more of you on the East Coast?"

"Well, dad said he'd cut me off if I stayed in Oklahoma. Got a new drug epidemic on the Rez, and dad is friends with the County Sheriff. He's paranoid about me getting into trouble... Now it's like the Sheriff's Department and Rez PD are basically babysitting me. I had a study group over shortly before graduating, and a bunch of Deputies came by and made sure I wasn't doing drugs..."

"Well, you do have a tendency...-" "Oh, not you too!" Piper snapped, and he raised his hands in surrender.

"Now, back to the topic at hand. What are you going to do about Jason?" he asked.

Piper shrugged helplessly. "I don't know. I have nothing to apologize for. It is most certainly my right to deny sex if I am not feeling up to it, and just being Bi is nothing I feel I should apologize for..."

"You shouldn't," Percy agreed, deciding to join in on Piper's righteous indignation. "On either account."

Piper sighed. "Romance is dead!"

Percy raised his glass of coke. "Amen to that. Let us hope that you two figure it out."

They bumped glasses, and each took a deep sip. Suddenly, a mischievous smile appeared on Piper's lips. "Silena is very pretty."

"Trust me, I've noticed. I am just not in the right place to pursue a new relationship. Hell, I have enough unfinished business with my old one. Silena deserves someone who can offer her love and happiness. Even if I weren't hoping to get back with Annabeth, I wouldn't be able to give her what she deserves." Piper looked skeptical nonetheless.

"I didn't want to bring it up, but now that you did bring her up, what are your plans for Annabeth?" Piper asked. Percy shrugged. He had faced this question too often for his liking, and truth be told, he would be more than happy to continue procrastinating. "Oh come on, don't look like that. You two are my family. I want to know what is going on."

"You sound a lot like your sister," Percy remarked.

"Then I am in good company," Piper replied, smiling.

The God sighed deeply. "I love Annabeth and I miss her. I'm just not going to run after her and beg, though. While I am not one to let pride get in the way of something this important, I do have some self-respect left."

"Well, I for my part think that you are being very mature about this. At least someone is acting like an adult around here."

Percy shrugged. "Mom just wants me to wear her down."

"I can see why that isn't an option for you," Piper replied grimly and took a deep swig from her glass before exclaiming drily. "Feel stressed? Sleep problems? Seek out your family physician. Alcoholism might be a solution for you."

They looked at each other for a long moment and burst out laughing.

"FYI, Chiron wants you to pick up Mrs O'leary. The Pagasi barely tolerate her. Also Blackjack is being a dick to everyone. Some new camper tried to ride him, didn't go too well."

Percy pushed the tinge of guilt aside and grinned sheepishly. "I probably should..." Percy agreed.

They chatted for some more before Piper finally bade her farewell. Percy was actually in a pretty good mood and quite positively surprised when Piper hugged him before departing.

His relaxed demeanor took a hard blow only mere seconds later as Silena stepped back out onto the pool-wearing deck wearing her purple bikini, shades, and had a towel slung across the shoulder, seemingly naturally slipping into that catwalk walk style.

"Enough work for today. Piper is pretty cool, by the way," she announced and spread the blanket across the deckchair before lying down in the afternoon sun.

"Did I allow you to stop cleaning..." Percy asked and sat down next to her, trying to keep his gaze from the toned curvy body shimmering in the sunlight.

Silena gazed up and down and smoothly pushed her shades down to the tip of her nose and looked up at him.

"Are you serious?" she asked.

"Of course," Percy replied sternly. "I thought the entire point of this arrangement was for me to chill and watch you work?"

When Silena groaned and started to sit up, Percy hastily added. "Just joking. Relax. I command it in fact."

The daughter of Aphrodite glowered at him but leaned back.

Silena Beauregard

Silena wasn't annoyed, not really. Had Percy actually sent her back to work, she might have even slept easier, knowing that Percy was less likely to do something generous that would get her sent to the underworld. But with Percy walking off, the daughter of Aphrodite leaned back and closed her eyes. Percy being around really screwed with her schedule. He was good at offering distractions.

The next time she saw him he was only wearing swimming trunks. Her gaze hidden behind her sunglasses, she found herself watching the young God as he headed over to the gym. She couldn't help but admire the way the golden sunlight complimented his warm, tanned complexion.

Percy looked over at her with obvious interest, his gaze sweeping over her body, and she figured that Percy thought that she was napping. Her cheeks feeling rather warm all of a sudden, she averted her gaze and prayed to Aphrodite that Percy hadn't noticed.

It seemed like fortune was with her because Percy continued on his way and disappeared into the house.

Just then, Percy repeated wearing an old orange camp half-blood shirt that he had clearly gotten in a time when his torso had less bulk and swimming trunks bought when his thighs had had less muscle volume. A bittersweet feeling spread through her stomach as she saw the familiar shirt, and she felt some melancholy when she remembered the good old days in when she had run around in just the same colors.

"Here you are," Percy greeted her.

Silena raised her glass in response and returned her attention to the show.

Concentrating on what could only be described as a very good show became a lot harder after Percy shifted from his warm-up to the weights. And when Percy was bench pressing, she couldn't help sneaking glances at him. Knowing how he looked naked, it was easy to imagine him without clothes now. She kept shooting him tentative glances. No, she wasn't proud of it. Could she have gone somewhere else? Perhaps, but she didn't. Soon she had her second glass in hand and was regularly shooting glances over at the struggling Gods, watching the way his muscles rippled under strain...

"Like what you see?" Percy suddenly asked, sitting up on his bench. Drenched in sweat, his shirt clinging to his body. His hair was its usually windblown self and his eyes seemed to hold an almost hypnotic sparkle. She did, but there was no way she could admit that.

"Don't flatter yourself. Need someone to spot you?" Silena replied without hesitation.

"Sure," Percy agreed.

Caught by her own brashness, Silena had no choice but to get up. Percy laid back down on the bench and slid under his weights as Silena awkwardly took position up at Percy's head and stood guard as Percy went through his paces, struggling with the impressive weights. Watching him was almost torture. Silena's knees felt weak as she stared down at his muscular form exerting itself. The tips of her fingers itched as she fought back the impulse to touch him. His gaze seems to rest on her a lot as he looked up at her, and strangely enough, she didn't mind.

When Silena thought that Percy was pushing it a bit too far, she slipped a hand under the bar and gently pulled up, helping Percy force the weighted bar up again and into its slot.

"Thanks. Want to take a swim?" He asked, sitting up and rolling his shoulders.

"No, my hair will take ages to dry," Silena replied.

There was that mischievous sparkle in his eyes that warned of what was going to happen next. "Oh, don't you-" Silena yelped when Percy lunged forward.

While not being a dedicated fighter herself, Silena had a few years of martial training under her belt and braced herself instinctively, but Percy was so much faster and stronger, catching her with an arm around her waist.

Half laughing, half screaming, she tried to tear free from his grasp and almost did, only to have those powerful arms wrap themselves around her waist from behind.

"Let me go!" She warned, but her own laughter ruined it. "You are sweaty and disgusting!" Silena complained, almost basking in the powerful embrace, her body pressing against his glistening wet torso. His scent was slightly dizzying and she couldn't help but breathe it in deeply. She almost felt drunk and there was always that wetness between her legs again and that strangely pleasant pressure in her lower abdomen.

Silena pulled her legs up and tried to slip free. She instinctively knew that she could end this with a single word. She could, but she didn't. She wasn't sure Percy even noticed that when he caught her weight, just a moment his hand was cupping one of her breasts. Instead, she squirmed in his arms, letting him show off that impressive core strength of his.

Her attempts to free herself weren't very successful, not that she was too disappointed. Percy simply held her to his chest, then once she submitted he slipped an arm under her legs and picked her up bridal style, and carried her out to the pool.

For a moment she thought of Charlie. Would he approve of her just then? Then she figured that bearing context in mind. he'd be cool about it. For just a moment, her horny teenage hormone-addled mind brushed the topic of her last love, and guilt threatened to ruin her good mood.

"Percy Jackson, don't you dare..." She warned but knew what was going to happen. Silena quickly stopped squirming, not eager to fall by accident, and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Her entire body seemed to fill with static as he held her firmly. Where skin touched skin, it was as if she was on fire. Her heart thundered in her chest, and Silena was fighting the urge to kiss him then and there.

Playing her role, Silena made a good show of thrashing around, kicking, and complaining as Percy walked the final steps and flung her surprisingly far into the pool.

Silena screamed until the world was consumed by a storm of bubbles and the blissful, cool embrace of her aroused body. A moment later, she broke the surface, surprised that she couldn't quite stand and a moment later by how far away she was from the shore. Had he just thrown her that far?

Silena pushed her long dark hair from her face and tried to glare up at him.

"You asshole," she complained, taking note of the bulge in his shorts. "At least join me," she finally demanded. "You are really gross!"

Percy laughed and sat down at the pool's edge, dangling his feet in the water and Silena swam up to him, grabbed his ankle, and tried to pull him into the pool, bracing her feet against the pool's sidewall.

Percy laughed at her obvious effort and looked insultingly surprised when he actually started slipping and falling into the pool next to her with a satisfying splash.

"You know, you are not allowed to attack me like that? I think you need to be punished!"

Silena's momentary apprehension quickly passed when Percy splashed her with some water.

Silena splashed back. There were those things that seemed quite stupid in hindsight. Accepting a challenge to a water fight from Percy Jackson was one of them. Sure enough, the water rose up around, leaving her in the epicenter of a four-foot-high funnel of turquoise water. A moment later, the water came crashing down around her and knocked her under.

It took her a moment to orient herself. Up, down... Finally, she broke the surface again, spluttering, and gasped for air.

"Percy," Silena growled and lunged at the God, wrapped an arm around his neck, and tried to force him down under the water's surface.

Again, one could debate on the wisdom in trying to dump a sea god's head underwater in his own element but Percy was so busy cracking up that it actually worked. She threw her entire weight into it and managed to force his head under the surface.

She knew Percy was letting her have this and that he was likely comfortably breathing down there but after a while, he twisted free of her grip. Giggling, Silena swung herself into his back. With her arms wrapped around his neck and her legs around his waist, she clung to him and weighed Percy back down under the water's surface.

Submerged, Percy grabbed her ankles and forced her legs apart, weakening her hold enough to turn around in her grasp, and rose out of the water with her still clinging to his neck.

He was gorgeous, she thought to herself, with his Mediterranean complexion and wild wet hair.

Silena found herself staring up into his green eyes, and the urge to kiss him was almost overwhelming, even with Percy's wet shirt sticking to her skin. Almost of their own volition, her hands unlocked behind her owner's neck and seemed to slide down until she was clutching the fabric of his collar in her fists.

She was almost painfully aware of how close they stood. Silena then noticed that Percy's gaze shifted down to her lips. She knew that look. The daughter of Aphrodite felt her resistance finally crumbling.

They were so vulnerable at that moment.

Silena tilted her head up by a fraction, inviting him to make a move with that minor gesture. Percy leaned down as if mirroring her movement. A heartbeat later, Silena closed her eyes and felt his lips gently pressing against hers. Her mind was completely blank for a long moment, then she noted that Percy seemed to be a pretty damn good kisser. Her heart felt like it was doing a small victory dance as she pulled herself further up his body and felt Percy's arms around her tighten around her waist.

It couldn't have been more than a minute to two, but to Silena, it felt like a lifetime. It quickly became obvious that Percy wouldn't be content with playing the silent partner and bore down on her, his tongue invading her mouth.

An alien hunger seemed to take over, and she returned the kiss. Her hands slid down the back of Percy's torso until one of them innocently came to rest over his ass, well aware of the bulge of Percy's swimming trunks pressing against her.

As if only now realizing what he was doing Percy backed off abruptly. "Oh, gods. I am so sorry, Silena, I shouldn't have done that."

Her own cheeks flushing scarlet, Silena fought back a stupid grin. "What part of me kissing you back gave you the idea that I wasn't completely on board with this?" Silena asked quietly and gently smiled up at the man in front of her. As so often before, Percy Jackson wasn't listening to what girls around him were trying to tell him. "Percy Jackson, you listen to me right now," she growled and the God seemed to snap out of it.

"I'm not a child. If I had a problem with being kissed by you, I would have let you know."

With a huff, she climbed out of the pool and looked back. "I'll make dinner," she announced and walked off without looking back, her lips still tingling from the earlier exchange. Some part of her hoped he'd call her back. There was no longer any point denying to herself that she wanted him.

Percy Jackson

Percy knew better than to call an angry girl back, and so he watched her walk off feeling rather conflicted. Guilt and shame over the things he wanted to do to her. Guilt over Annabeth and frustration with himself for ending it like he had, something Silena clearly hadn't appreciated. Was it his fault that their relationship was, by definition, going to be a very complicated one?

After signing, he rose from the water, dried himself off with only a thought, and changed into jeans, a short-sleeved button-up shirt, and joined the daughter of Aphrodite in the kitchen. Unfortunately, she had chosen to change into leggings and a tank top and had also pulled on the apron. Not that the outfit didn't look amazing on her but he preferred the bikini.

"May I enter?" he asked after knocking on the side of the door frame.

She looked over at him and raised an eyebrow. "I think you will find that you can."

Percy casually approached. "Sorry for being a dick earlier."

Silena shrugged, not even looking at him. "You weren't. You were just being over-caring. Stop that. It's something that might just get me in a lot of trouble down the line. For the future, if I don't want something, believe me, I will let you know."

"What are you making?" he asked, stepping next to her. Pasta plates, ground meat, tomato-related stuff.

"Lasagne," Silena replied stiffly.

For a long moment, Percy didn't say anything. What did she want from him? Another apology? He doubted that very much. Did she want him to kiss her again? She was busy, and he knew how much being distracted could screw you over with ADHD. He assumed Silena had just as much ADHD as any other camper. She was just a lot better at hiding it than most of the time.

"May I help you?" he asked.

She gave him a long look Percy wasn't sure that she considered him a lot of help.

"Stir this," she finally said and nodded at a pot with a white paste in it. "Fast, or the flower will burn!" Silena snapped. "Tell me when it starts sweating!"

"Yes, Ma'am!" Percy replied and hastily went to work, doing his best to hide how turned on he was as Silena turned back to steering the minced meat. One might imagine how hard getting anything done was with Silena standing so close to him.

"To slow, it's going to burn," Silena warned suddenly.

"Hm," Percy asked and turned his attention back to what was supposed to be doing. Silena's unique scent lay in the air, even noticeable over the kitchen smells.

The demi-goddess sighed and grabbed across in front of him and grabbed his right hand and dictated a much faster-paced scrubbing motion.

"Hold the pot properly," she ordered impatiently.

"Okay, now just like that," she finally said and patted his arm gently and smirked at him in a way that let his manhood throb painfully.

"Either you learn how to cook, or you'll need a girl in your life that can cook," Silena announced of-handedly.

"I have you, don't I?" Percy asked lightly and flinched involuntarily, hoping she wouldn't take it wrong.

Silena only rose an eyebrow. "I'm a girl in your life?"

"Well, seeing as we live together, I'd say yes," Percy mused and let go of the pot long enough to give her a side hug with his left arm.

"I suppose I am," Silena mused and playfully shoved him with her hip before going back to preparing her tomato sauce. Percy looked down and noticed that he had a damn good view of her cleavage from this angle.

The memories of kissing Silena were still fresh. He hadn't wanted to push her into a corner like that, but it had seemed like the thing to do at the time. Silena hadn't seemed to mind.

"I'm thinking that you should visit your father," Percy started.

Silena only smiled gently. "I should. I just don't know how to explain it. Hi Dad, I'm alive again. See that dude over there, yeah? I'm now his slave. Hope you are well!"

Percy grimaced. "Hey, don't flame me for bringing it up. I am sure you'd be able to present it in a less harsh manner. If you want to, you can just introduce me as your roommate or..."

"Boyfriend?" she asked, finishing the sentence for him.

"Didn't want to say it but yeah sure."

"I'll think of something," Silena said and then bumped the side of her shoulder against his arm. Percy imagined she had no clue what that did to him, she wasn't that cruel.

When Silena looked up at him, she sighed, licked her finger, and reached up and rubbed at his cheek.

"Hey, stop that, what are you doing?" he complained.

"You had some of the paste on your face," Silena explained and went back to cooking. His ADHD-addled mind kept drawing his gaze back to her cleavage. It was as if they were inviting him to give them a hearty squeeze. Some part of him just wanted to bury his face in them.

"You like them?" Silena asked evenly as if commenting on the tomato sauce she was making.

"Hmm..what?" he asked blushing.

"My breasts. You keep staring at them," Silena explained.

"Ahm so..." Percy trailed off, realizing that she had put him in one of those traps. Either he said he liked them, in which case he was the pervert, or he lied and said he didn't like them, and she had an excuse to be offended. Percy took the third, more elegant route.

"I wasn't staring at you. I was merrily lost in my thoughts." His cheeks felt worrying warm and he hoped that a blush wasn't ruining his cover.

"So that's your story and you're sticking to it?" Silena asked.

"Yes, Ma'am," Percy confirmed, trying so hard to keep on a straight face

Percy went back to work, his cheeks as hot as ever.

"Are you blushing?"

"No, it's just from the hot steam from the pans," Percy explained.

"I see," Silena said.

They layered up the Lasagne, and before long, it was in the oven.

"Where would you like to eat?" she finally asked.

"I don't know? Media room? Dining room?" He asked in return. "I assume we'll be eating together?"

Silena nodded. "Media room. I need to catch up on Big Bang Theory."

As Silena supervised the oven Percy set up the media room. An assortment of refreshments, wine, Silena's show of choice, pillows, and blankets. Then he joined Silena in the kitchen, where he found the young woman cleaning up her workspace.

"How long?" he asked.

"Half an hour," Silena replied as she loaded up the dishwasher and wiped off the workspace.

"I'll go take the makeup off. Otherwise, I'll forget and look like a zombie tomorrow," Silena quickly said and left and left Percy to babysit the oven.

When she left, Percy sighed deeply, figuring that he'd probably be furiously jerking off that night.

"So, got the makeup off..." Silena announced as she entered.

"Can't really tell the difference," Percy admitted.

"Aren't you sweet," Silena said and checked on their project. Then she poked it with a needle and smiled, looking pleased.

"There we go, mind getting out and cutting it? I have a tendency to burn myself."

"So I am the sacrificial lamb?" Percy asked in mock horror.

Silena shrugged. "I need my looks more than you do," she replied sweetly.

Percy sighed and did as he was told and even ended up cutting the steaming golden brown meal.

Five minutes later, they were seated on the couch and began watching Silena's show.

"This is literally the best show in the world," Silena announced and took a sip from her wineglass.

"Truth be told I am more of a Brooklyn 99 guy," Percy announced.

"I'll need to watch Big Bang Theory from the beginning. I can't remember anything really," she realized. "Why don't we check out that Brooklyn 99 show?"

They quickly tore through their meal and put half the lasagna on ice. Then they continued watching in relative silence. Silena had a blanket wrapped around her shoulders.

Episode after episode passed, and Silena seemed to grow increasingly tipsy. Percy gave up paying attention to the show when Silena leaned her head against his shoulder and hugged his arm, her cheek pressing his shoulder.

On the bright side, he could now place the scent of Silena's shampoo as Jasmine.

It was as if Silena was doing her best to drive him crazy. For the entire time, he needed to make sure that the blanket covered his lap to hide his maddening boner.

"I love Amy, she's so relatable," Silena finally slurred as she refilled her wine glass.

"Sure,..." Percy replied, trying to ignore how her breasts pressed against his arm.

"You disagree?" Silena asked, looking up at him.

"I hate to break it to you but you are more like Penny from Big Bang Theory," Percy reminded her.

Silena stuck her tongue out at Percy and nestled herself up against his side. Despite being past tipsy, she somehow still managed to look graceful.

Percy watched with mild amusement and Silena giggled and laughed until the daughter of Aphrodite's head snapped around to him, a mischievous grin spreading across her face.

"Hey, Percy!" She greeted him.

"Hm?"

"Truth or dare?"

Percy raised an eyebrow. "Pardon me?"

In an over-exaggerated gesture, Silena tapped her chin with her index finger. "You heard me!"

Feeling slightly alarmed, he sighed in resignation. "What is the wager?" he asked.

"Pride," Silena replied, grinning.

Percy shrugged, "Sure, truth."

Silena smiled. "What do you think of Piper."

"She is nice, a great friend, and cute," Percy replied.

Silena shrugged. "Fair enough."

"My turn. Truth or dare?" Percy asked.

"Truth," Silena replied, her gaze centering on him.

"First kiss?" he asked evenly.

Silena grinned, "Tom Anderson. Third grade. Just moved to the US from Australia. He had this really cool Aussi accent and the cutest blond curls. Dated him for almost two weeks."

For some reason, Percy couldn't help but laugh at this.

"Truth or dare," Silena finally asked.

"Truth?" Percy half asked.

"First kiss?" she fired right back.

"Annabeth Chase when I was fifteen. You know, before the Battle at Camp Half-blood .."

"You mean right before you went missing after blowing up Mount St. Hellens and going missing for weeks, only to turn up for your own funeral? She told me about that. I was kinda hoping you had a few dark secrets."

"I do, but those are separate questions, Ms. Beauregard," Percy replied, thinking that he might go enjoy this after all.

"Truth or dare," Percy asked.

"You know what, I will go with a dare," Silena challenged him.

His mind immediately went to the kind of things Hazel Levesque would disapprove of.

"I dare you to..." Percy trailed off.

"Hmm?"

"I dare you to give me a message," Percy announced.

"That's all you got?" Silena asked doubtfully."Well then, sailor. Take that shirt off, down on your stomach."

Percy hesitated, having originally intended for a harmless shoulder massage. When he enlightened her to that fact she only raised an eyebrow and made a circular motion with her index finger. "Coward..." the daughter of Aphrodite whispered challengingly.

Percy turned his back on the young woman who moved up behind him and started kneading his shoulders. There was a surprising amount of strength in those delicate hands.

"So,..." Silena started. "Truth or dare?"

For a few long moments, Percy didn't answer, wanting to enjoy the massage. The daughter of Aphrodite's warm hands sent shivers down his spine.

"Truth..."

"What are those dark secrets you mentioned?" She asked softly, thankfully not pausing her massage.

"I got stuck with Calypso while you guys thought I was dead," he announced. "And made out a few times with Rachel before Annabeth and I got together. Almost got to third base once."

Silena sniggered. "You old dog. Well then, truth or dare."

Knowing that Silena would be gunning for a dare, he decided to grant her this. Truth be told, he was turned on enough to want to see where she took this.

Silena grinned evilly. "I dare you to make me nervous."

Percy hesitated as his servant stared him dead in the eyes.

Percy met her gaze and remembered a game he had played before with Rachel and placed his hand on her lower abdomen.

"Nervous?" he asked her, feeling both like an asshole and a smooth operator at the same time.

"No," she replied, maintaining eye contact.

His hand slid up an inch. "Now?" he asked.

"No," she replied.

His hand slid up over her belly button.

"Now?" he asked again.

A small smile appeared on her lips. "No," Silena replied.

They repeated the ritual a few times, his hand sliding up further and further and Silena's small mischievous grin growing wider and wider. Finally, his hand stopped right under her ample left breast. "Nervous?" he asked.

"You wish," she said softly, almost whispering.

After a brief hesitation, his hand slid up the rest of the way. He almost laughed at himself. How had he missed it? The signals had been there all day. Then, he was known to be oblivious from time to time. When Percy made the final move, he was confident that it was exactly what Silena wanted him to do. So, his hand slid up the remainder of the journey and came to rest on the firm ample mound.

"Nervous?" he asked.

"Not even slightly," Silena replied. She gently held his face and pulled him down into a deep kiss, closing her eyes just before contact.

Silena pulled him down to her until he was lying on his side, jammed between her and the backrest with Silena lying on her back. As they lay there in the dim red ambient, they exchanged slow, deep kisses and Percy marveled over how amazing Silena's breasts felt, even through her bra and tank top.

The kissing was pretty awesome but a lot less heated than their last exchange was. Was it wrong with Silena literally being his slave? Perhaps but Silena didn't seem to care. He was sure that she'd be quite upset if he brought it up again.

They continued exchanging kissing and before long it was Silena's tongue bidding for entrance. Percy was more than happy to oblige, and so as Percy fondled the daughter of Aphrodite, she did some exploring of her own. The kisses quickly died down again and before long it was her lying on top, using his head as a pillow as she watched the rest of the episode. Percy didn't mind and every minute or so he'd steal another kiss, something Silena seemed to be happy to oblige with. The temptation to take charge and get back to the heated kissing was almost unbearable.

Finally, when the episode ended and Silena gave him one long and deep kiss.

"It's past midnight," she said softly and looked down at him for a long moment as if making her mind up about something. Then she smoothly slid off him and rose to her feet, swaying slightly in her tipsy state. Then, after downing the rest of her glass, she held her hand out to him.

"Come on, let us go to bed," Silena said softly. Even Percy, often oblivious to the more subtle hints girls made, recognized this invitation to what it was and what it would lead to if he accepted it. After the past few months, Percy was too exhausted, too tired, and too lonely to turn her down.

When he took the hand offered to him, Silena wordlessly led him off in the direction of the master bedroom, holding his hand behind her back with both of hers. The way to his room seemed like a very long one but finally, they were standing in front of the bed.

She looked up at him with a most peculiar expression and Percy was almost afraid to move. Silena switched off the ceiling light, leaving the room bathed in the soft golden glow of the bedside lamp.

Just that moment, Silena took command in a very feminine way.

With a gentle smile on her lips, she rose to the tips of her toes and breathed a kiss on his lips.

Then she gently pushed him back until he was forced to sit down on the end of his bed and lean back until he was only keeping himself upright only with his arms. The daughter of Aphrodite straddled his lap and pressed her lips against his in a long kiss. After breaking away her deep blue eyes captured his, and her delicate fingers went to work on the buttons of his shirt.

After what felt like a lifetime, eye contact was broken as she dropped her gaze. One by one, the buttons of his shirt came undone and Silena pulled the two halves apart and pushed it down his shoulders. Then she ran her fingers down his bare chest, seeming to marvel over his as much as he would over her's only minutes later.

Suddenly Percy was lying on his back, shoved back by the girl that ought to be his submissive slave. With his help, Silena freed him of the garment and took it aside. A moment later, her lips met his again, and from there on they seemed to be lip-locked. Where his first time with Annabeth had been quite nerve-wracking for both of them Silena seemed calmer and more relaxed than he would have thought possible. For a few long moments, they exchanged deep kisses, their tongues dancing an eons-old dance.

Finally, Silena blew another kiss onto his lips before sitting up on top of him. He bit back a pained groan as Silena's weight ground down on the uncomfortably hard bulge in his jeans. The young woman cross grabbed the hem of her tank top with a cross grip and pulled it up and off. Underneath, she still wore that vibrant purple bikini, and once again, Percy was struck by how breathtakingly beautiful the young woman was. His mouth went completely dry when she reached behind her back and undid the tie behind her neck and the unclasped hook. A moment later, the top came away and revealed Silena's beautiful pale breasts. In the dimly lit room, Silena's pale complexion almost seemed luminescent.

"I do like what I am seeing," Percy admitted sheepishly and earn a soft laugh and that stunning gentle smile that Silena seemed to have perfected.

It was as if she had cast a spell over him with which he had become nothing more than warm wachs for her to mold. It was almost scary, and truth be told, quite intimidating. After pushing her hair behind her shoulders, Silena gently grabbed both his hands and guided them up to her slender body until they came to rest over her breasts and then she tightened her grip on his hands ever so slightly, inviting him to squeeze and explore. Goosebumps popped over Silena's body and she visibly shivered as his hands roamed over her body.

"Everything alright?" he asked softly, barely more than whispering.

"Yes, it feels nice," Silena whispered.

After a few more endless moments, Percy's hands released Silena's breasts and slid back down her body to come to rest at her waist. This time it was Silena's hands on him, her delicate fingers redrawing the contours of his muscles. "I've wanted to do this all day," Silena mused quietly as if speaking to herself.

"Pervert," Percy replied quietly and earned a gentle slap on the chest. Silena's fingers slid down his arms, stroking over his biceps and then tracing his larger veins under the skin. Before long she was tracing the six-pack that he had worked quite hard to gain. Just when Percy thought he had indulged his partner's curiosity enough, Silena leaned down and kissed him on the lips.

Once again, he seemed to be under her spell, just lying there with his hands resting on her hips as Silena first kissed him on the lips and then went down his body.

As her lips traced down his neck one of his hands slid up to come to rest behind the young woman's head. It was her turn to send shivers down his body as her lips drew a route down his collarbone and over his chest, and he was very aware of her naked breasts pressing against his torso. Her gaze met his for a moment before she continued and he was surprised by how nervous she looked. When Silena stopped at the bottom of his sternum, he realized that this is how far Silena's courage would take her, and if he didn't intervene now, it would soon become awkward.

So Percy sat up with Silena still straddling him, his own hands sliding up her bareback, and kissed her hard on the lips. Then he rose up, almost carrying Silena with him to the middle of the bed and dropping her down on the mattress. He was upon her within heartbeats.

It almost seems as if she was relieved when he hissed her hard on the lips, her arms wrapping themselves around his neck. It was his turn to explore his partner and Percy went to work. Percy felt quite a lot of pride when Silena gasped the first time his lips moved down her neck.

Her skin was soft and flawless to his touch. Before long he felt he had loitered enough to properly explore her breasts. Proportionately to her short build, they were bigger than those of Rachel and Annabeth, the sets he had previously had the pleasure of working with.

Silena actually moaned softly as he explored them, showering them with kisses, drawing circles around the peaks, and playfully sucking on her nipples. Simultaneously, he kneaded them with vigor. Finally, Percy drew a trail of kisses down her smooth, flat stomach and teased her belly button, earning a small giggle and a playful slap on the shoulder.

Percy slid down even further, hooked his finger's around the hem of her leggings and pulled them stripped them off, leaving the beautiful daughter of Aphrodite with only her bright purple panties. It was fairly obvious that she was quite wet by now, which, all things considered, was quite flattering.

She truly was a deluxe package. Beautiful face, flawless milky white skin, apple breasts, slender, with legs that reached all the way to Canada.

Realizing that she was being admired Silena blushed deeply.

"At least get rid of those Jeans," Silena muttered, sounding almost defensive.

Percy did as she asked, knowing that now there would be no hiding his painfully hard erection. Moments later he was back on top of her, kissing her firmly on the lips. He felt Silena grab hold of his waist with her legs and her hands moving over his back as his hands moved over her thighs.

Without breaking lip contact, Percy managed to free Silena from her panties and was surprised to find her cleanly shaven. His own boxer shorts quickly fell away as well and their make-out session continued naked.

"Mind if I go on top?" Silena asked softly, tapping his arm.

"Sure," Percy replied and rolled off the slender girl, only to have her slid on top and straddled his legs after stripping off the panties. "Just be patient with me here. I've never done this before?" Silena admitted.

His surprise on his face must have been written across his face because Silena blushed deeply and playfully punched his shoulder. "Don't you look so surprised..." then looked down at his manhood skeptically.

"What?" Percy asked.

"I don't see how that'll fit," she slurred, tentatively grabbing his length. When her delicate fingers touched him Percy bit back an aroused groan.

"I'll take that as a compliment," Percy replied stiffly.

Silena grinned sheepishly and then turned serious again, rising up to position his length in her already wet entrance, and slowly eased herself down onto his length. Percy was slightly taken aback, having expected to make the final move himself, but Silena was clearly committed.

He knew he would never forget the look on her face, a mixture of pain, pleasure, and desire. She took her time, as was her prerogative.

So he patiently let Silena do her thing, his hands gently resting on her thighs, and before long the daughter of Aphrodite had impaled herself on him. She tested for a few moments and finally began to slowly ride him, steadying herself on his chest. Silena's increasingly loud moans out shadowed Percy's soft grunts. It was hard to decide what was the sweeter part of this moment, the view of the daughter of Aphrodite's breasts bouncing softly as she rode him, or her tightness around his manhood.

Percy's eyes flickered up and locked gazes with Silena. Strangely enough, the eye contact was much more stimulating than the spectacle that Silena's breasts could ever be.

Once she had him captivated with her blues, she continued riding him slow and steady pace. Not stopping her ride, Silena pushed her long dark hair back over her one shoulder, where it sadly covered her breasts somewhat.

"I got to leave something for the imagination," she pressed forward between moans.

"Uhh," was all he brought forward.

That was the point something made click in him and the urge to be the man in this encounter took over. Percy smoothly sat up, and Silena shrieked in surprise and held on to his neck, his member still deep inside her.

"Gods Percy, warn me next time," she breathed and laughed lightly, already out of breath from her exertions.

Percy didn't answer, his hands already firmly holding his lovely partner by her hips. His lips pressed hard against her's. Startled by the sudden initiative, Silena interrupted her ride. Mere moments and a surprise shrieked later it was her lying on her back and Percy towering above her slender form.

The standoff lasted for only heartbeats and Percy lost no time in re-engaging his lover. Lips met in a mad frenzy and Silena's legs grabbed hold of his hips, trying to pull him closer. Filled with the desire to be back inside Silena, he lost no time in guiding his length back into position without even breaking lip contact.

Moments later he was thrusting into Silena a lot quicker than she had ridden him initially and his efforts had the expected effect.

Feeling Silena relaxing, he realized she was now content with him taking over so after one more heated kiss he got up on his knees and took Silena missionary. Her legs spread wide and knocking her body back and forth with every thrust, her breasts did that almost magnificent bouncing again. Grabbing one of them he watched with an odd sense of fascination.

"Oh fuck, Percy," Silena moaned, her hands clawing at the corners of the pillow as if trying to hold on. Percy cherished every moment of his length, pumping in and out of his servant's blissful tightness.

The young woman bit her lip and moaned even louder as he took her closer to her orgasm. Silena's climax arrived a lot faster than expected. A lot quicker than Annabeth had. Perhaps he was simply better than he was during his first times, perhaps Silena simply needed the intimacy more than his now exx had, or she was simply lower maintenance. Whatever it was, Silena's even somehow managed to look graceful during an orgasm. Her eyes closed, her lips curved to a slight sensual smile, parted slightly to show off her pearly white, perfectly straight teeth. Facing ecstasy, her body seemed to flex and convulse at the same time, her flushed skin shimmering with sweat. Percy stayed buried inside her as the orgasm rolled over the young woman and when she went limp, a dazed smile on her lips Percy rolled off the young woman and plopped down on the mattress next to her, and slipped an arm under his partner's neck.

"That was amazing," Silena breathed, that winded smile still plastered across her face, and rolled over to face him, even going so far as to rest her chin on his chest. As she moved, she winced.

"I'm sore," she noted with a slight accusatory.

Percy only laughed, "Are you alright?"

She grinned at him. "Never better," she replied and sat up, wincing again, and seemed to realize that her hair had been reduced to quite a disheveled mess. It was certainly one of the sexiest things Percy had ever seen. Percy hastily sat up as well and pulled the blanket over his lap to hide his still throbbing erection. Silena might have had a happy ending, he sadly had a note. Despite very much wanting to continue this, he knew that it was best to end this on a high for Silena. She would be sore enough the next morning, and if they continued on it would mainly be for his pleasure.

"Are you alright?" Silena asked gently.

Percy laughed. "There is the beautiful and naked daughter of Aphrodite in my bed, so yeah!"

The slap earned him a playful slap on the arm. Finally, she sighed deeply. "It's getting late, and I really enjoyed this but I should be getting to bed," Silena announced and slid off the bed and almost fell to the ground as her legs threatened to give away.

"Why don't you spend the night over?" Percy offered as he watched her begin to gather up her abandoned clothes. After everything that had happened that day, it felt wrong sending her off like a casual fucktoy after use.

Silena actually sighed in relief.

"Yeah, I would like that," she admitted, and Percy held up the blanket and allowed her to slip under the covers. After he turned off the bedside lamp and darkness took the room, the daughter of Aphrodite lay next to him for a few long awkward minutes. But before long, she had snuggled up to him. Her head resting on his chest and naked form clinging to his, he wrapped his arms around the young woman.

While Silena seemed to fall asleep quite quickly, it evaded Percy. His still throbbing erection didn't seem to help with his insomnia either, and there was no way to take care of it discreetly. Again, the worst part was that if he mentioned it to Silena, she'd feel guilty and compelled to try to remedy the situation.

"Pull yourself together, man," Percy thought to himself and tightened the embrace, painfully aware of how her breasts pressed up against his chest.
