One Down, Another To Go (Artemis) [M]

Atticus sat in the slytherin table in the great hall. It wasn't deserted, far from it, it was filled with students, but just that. No professors around, just your average nerdy ravenclaws, your gryffindor showoffs, and the quiet badgers. Plus one lonely Slytherin. Atticus. He felt like he did back when he didn't have Celeste. Helpless, alone, hated...

Artemis rushed into the great hall after being held back by one of the professors and noticed the slytherin table empty apart from Atticus which caused a pang in her heart. Walking towards him, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and nestled her face in his neck. ''Atticus..'' She whispered, her voice saddened for him. Celeste told her all about the break up and to be honest, she was angry at Celeste and sad for Atticus as deep down, felt more connected to Atticus than Celeste.

Feeling two arms around his shoulders, at first Atticus was about to whisper Aphrodite's name, as he remembered when she did the same around a week before that day, but as he tilted his head to the side, Atticus smiled warmly somehow, something he only did back when he was with Celeste, "Artemis," he sighed happily.

Artemis smiled when he did and settled herself next to him. ''Now..what is my Atticus doing here, alone for that matter?'' She questioned, furrowing her brow as she was slightly worried about him. Letting her fingers brush against his cheek, she let a gentle smile tug at her lips, glad she had Atticus in her life but tried to keep the fact that she's been fretting over him on the down low.

Atticus shrugged at her question not being able to drop that smile. ''What am I doing here? Nothing else to do. Alone? You know why,'' he added grimly and pat his thigh, telling Artemis to sit on his lap. Not that anyone would care, they were slytherins, slytherins were known to do strange things anywhere these days, no one payed it any mind anyway.

Artemis was glad he continued to smile. ''I'm sorry that happened..'' She whispered, feeling the need to see it and shuffled onto his lap like he told her to, resting her face in his neck. No one really paid attention to the pair as it was basic behavior. She wanted to make sure he was okay, like usual.

Leaning down he nuzzled her, hugging her tight, "Why are you always there for me?" he asked with a small but resounding laugh.

Artemis smiled and nuzzled gently like a wolf would do. These days, she spent most of her time with the wolves in the forest. ''Because i care about you..'' She admitted, enjoying the sound of his laugh as it soothed her soul. ''If someone upset me, you'd always be there for me...wouldn't you?'' She said, looking up at him with her hazel eyes.

He nodded remembering how they met and then, how they grew as close as they were now, "I'd be there to cuddle you like always. And do more than that if you ever needed it," he replied trying to assure her he would be there and not even death would tear them apart.

Artemis smiled, her mind going back to the night they met. ''And i'll do the same for you. If you need anything, anything at all...just come find me. I'm never that far away.'' She told him firmly, grinning as she pecked his cheek.

Atticus smirked mischievously, "Anything?" he asked with a teasing tone. She, from all people, would know exactly what Atticus was hinting at.

Artemis, despite herself, blushed and rolled her eyes as if to act it off. ''Yes...anything..'' She whispered, glancing up at him through her eyelashes. She knew exactly and coming from him, it slightly shocked her but Aphrodite did boast about her..evening with him.

Crushing her against him, he smiled, "Even if I asked for it here? In the Great Hall?" he laughed whilst his hands ran up and down her back.

Artemis gasped softly, her heart hammering in her chest. ''Then i'd give it to you..'' She replied, enjoying him touching her back. She never cared what people thought of her and even if they said something to her face, she'd make sure they never spoke again so if he did want it in the great hall, she'd gladly do it.

His hands slithered up her torso and cupped her breasts over her shirt, "You sure?" he asked, his need of her growing. Atticus had never before thought of Artemis has a woman but instead thought of her as a little sister he needed to protect. Now it was all different.

Artemis gasped and her eyes fluttered shut. ''Yes i'm sure..'' She said, her heart beating faster by the second. She never thought of Atticus doing this to her as she only thought of him as a protecting brother but now..she didn't know what to think. Only that she needed to help him and she'd be able to by doing this.

Atticus smiled broadly happy that she was doing what he wished. ''Perfect...'' he whispered as he rubbed himself against her, disregarding anyone else that was in the great hall at the time. "Take your shirt off," he told her and if she complied, he'd be sure she was telling the truth when she said yes.

Artemis bit the corner of her lip and slowly unbuttoned her shirt, letting it slide off her shoulders. She meant what she said and when she didn't hear any gasps and wolf whistles, she knew no one was looking or paying attention. ''Like what you see?'' She asked, her confidence had hidden but was slowly coming back.

Rubbing her chest, Atticus smiled broadly as he set her eyes on her perfect torso. Trailing the lines of her back he pecked her neck, nibbling at her flesh, before unclasping her bra, "Yes. I like it a lot," he responded, gently taking her bra away not caring if anyone was looking or not. Sucking on one of her nipples, his hands couldn't stop from running up and down her body.

Artemis was glad she didn't blush at his comment and arched her back to give him better access when he unclasped her bra. Her hand found its way into his hair, lacing her fingers into it as she sighed softly. His lips scorched her skin in a pleasurable way, her desire growing. ''I'm..glad..'' She breathed out, her lips parting as she moved on his lap, straddling him which allowed her to grind herself against him.

Kissing down her neck he pulled his shirt over his head. Jolting his hips against hers, he huffed as he pulled her to him, his chest crushing against hers. Kissing her hungrily one of his hands shakily rested on her face, whilst the other went down to unbutton her jeans. Looking around while his lips focused on hers, a small grin was formed as he noticed more and more students gazing at the pair of snakes.

Artemis bit her lip as she saw him take off his top and pressed her lips hard against his, her tongue dancing with his. Everyone else in the room left her mind and it was just them in that moment. Her heart practically skipped a beat when she felt her jeans being unbuttoned but slowly tugged them down for him. Her spare hand found his zipper and tugged it down slightly whilst it rested on his length, teasing the tip softly with her fingers.

Moaning softly, he inhaled deeply and then shivered as Artemis had her hand around his shaft. Sinfully leaning towards her, he licked down from her neck to her breasts, before grabbing the shell of her panties. Pulling them down, exposing her cave, Atticus smirked, before pushing his trousers and underwear down his defined legs. Teasing her with the tip of his length, he continued to kiss her. Over. And Over.

Artemis was pleased by his reaction and sighed softly at the lick that seemed to burn her skin with need. ''Atticus..'' She whispered, her eyes fluttering shut when he kept kissing her as she made his length enter her heat slowly before moving her hips over the tip. The more she felt his body against hers, the more she wanted him and whenever she wanted something, she'd get it. She made him completely enter her heat and gasped loudly, her hands in his hair.

At her gasp everyone that was not yet looking turned to gaze at the 'couple' about to have sex in the middle of the great hall, which only made Atticus grin wider. Thrusting deeper into her, he softly laid her down on the table in front of them, whilst he climbed on top of her, always moving his hips while inside of her. At that moment he didn't care if after that, they didn't talk for weeks, - although he would like it if this turned into a daily routine, - as long as they did this once. Kissing her neck, he whispered into her ear, while hooking one of her legs around his waist, "We should've done this sooner."
