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

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."

Artemis gasped and pushed everything off the table, causing everyone to gasp quite loudly but it never met Artemis' ears. Wrapping her legs around his waist, she realized no matter what happened after this, she wouldn't care. At least they would've had the chance.  His lips pressed against her sensitive spot on her neck, she moaned softly and nodded at his words. ''Yes we should've..'' She whispered back, clinging onto him as she met his thrusts.

Some time later...

By the time the two finished the Great Hall was deserted, and they laid on the table, Atticus holding Artemis by her waist, her head resting on his chest. They were covered by their clothes, as Atticus sighed with exhaustion.

Artemis ran a hand through her hair and snuggled into Atticus' side, shocked at what she just did and where she just did it. Moving so her chin was on his chest, she stared up at him. ''So..what now?'' She asked, almost nervously.

Looking down, Atticus snorted at her question, but sighed, "I dunno..." he replied tracing her back with the tip of his fingers.

Artemis chuckled at the snort and leaned up, nuzzling him gently. His fingers on her back relaxed her and made her smile even more. She didn't know what to say but she knew he'd always be a brother to her..just with benefits she supposed. ''I'll always love you, Atticus..you know that right.'' She whispered into his neck.

Atticus smiled at her words, and so, held her chin with his fingers. Holding her face up he leaned down and kissed her lips in a passionate way. He wasn't sure in what way he actually loved Artemis, he guessed he was confused because he and Celeste had just broken up, but he knew he loved her. ''I'll always love you too...'' he replied, nuzzling her. "This can happen more often. Whenever you want, really," he told her shrugging, before winking with a grin.

Artemis smiled back at him, leaning into his hand before brushing her lips against his. ''and wherever?'' She questioned, grinning cheekily. She knew she loved Atticus but not sure in what way and to her, it didn't really matter. Love was love in her opinion.

Atticus kept his grin stamped on his face as her words reached his ears, "I think I answered that when I fucked you on top of a table...in the middle of the great hall," he replied. His tone showed this was the first time he had been so 'happy' in days. Maybe even months. Artemis had a way of doing that to him...

Artemis chuckled softly and stroked his cheek gently with her thumb. ''That is a good point..'' She said, laughter in her tone and she was glad that he was a bit happier than before. She wanted nothing more than to keep making him happy and she seemed to have a way of doing so.

Smirking at her conclusion he let one of his hands rest on her rear, grabbing it tightly as a tease. "A very good point," he answered before holding his arms around her back crushing her against him, "You're a good fuck by the way," he laughed and then poked her, "We can 'cuddle' tonight, right?" he asked but kept laughing afterwards.

Artemis grinned and rested her head back on his chest due to his tight hold. ''Oh i know..Surprisingly you are too.'' She teased, poking his chest at his question and began laughing herself. ''Of course we can!'' She said, still laughing.

Grinning, Atticus soon went back to being expressionless. His hand reached down to her thighs, and he scooped her up whilst jumping off the table towards the floor. Landing perfectly, while carrying Artemis princess style, he yawned, "We should get dressed," he winked at her, letting her fall to her feet.

Artemis wasn't shocked by the expressionless face and grinned when he carried her. Sliding down to her feet, she pecked his cheek and at his words, quickly got dressed. ''Yes..you should.'' She said, winking back and leaned on the table.

Slowly placing his clothes back on his body, he finished by sliding his shirt down his torso, cracking his neck, before smiling at Artemis, "Thank you."
