For the love of the Gods

Artemis limply moved about her room, careful to keep the weight off her injured leg she rifled through her trunk looking for the hidden vat of ale she kept hidden.

Looking out of the corner of her eye she saw that Buffy was still boredly staring out the window, the pair had been stuck in each others presence for two days and the slayer had said no more than ten words to her after the initial news had been broken.

Artemis suppressed a sigh and continued hear search, nothing. Growling in anger she flung the trunk away from her and stood, to fast apparently if the flash of pain that lanced up her limb was any indication.

Suddenly Buffy was there her arms steadying her. Thankful but angered that she was so weak Artemis shrugged out of the blondes embrace. “I don’t need help.” She snarled.

Buffy rolled her eyes. “You know it’s a wonder you don’t have more friends with manners like that.”

“I am God I don’t need friends” Artemis snapped, ignoring the white hot pain that erupted in her leg.

When Buffy didn’t respond, instead she simply stood there staring at the Goddess blankly Artemis reached for her crutch and slowly began making her way back to her bed.

“I’m stuck with you…and until your healed were stuck in this room or wherever you can walk cause god knows your not going to accept help are you.” Buffy said to Artemis’s back.

“I don’t need…” Artemis started

“I know, you don’t need help…got it…all powerful Goddess. Hey…didn’t you get bit by a deer?” Buffy said sarcastically.

Artemis flung around so suddenly in anger that her entire side flashed with blinding pain, whimpering she fell back onto the bed.

Buffy rushed over and despite Artemis’s half hearted attempts to bat her away Buffy got the Goddess back onto the bed. Buffy then went to the medicine satchel that Apollo had left and pulled out the pain relieving tea leaves, as she went about making the tea she couldn’t help but notice that the Goddess hadn’t made a sound, looking up she was startled to see the Goddess simply staring at her.

“Why are you helping me?” Artemis said softly. “You hate me don’t you?”

“Whatever gave you that idea…I’m helping you because were stuck like this together. What I still don’t get is why?” Buffy asked, handing Artemis the now drinkable tea. “I mean we both have these cool new little accessories and you don’t know why?”

Artemis looked away guiltily. It was true, Buffy knew about as little as possible and it was better that way. Sipping the tea Artemis welcomed the warm heady feeling that spread through her.

“It’s because I’m incomplete.”

“I know but what do I have to do with it?” Buffy asked, hoping maybe FINALLY she would get some answers. She had tried corning the nymphs but they all knew she couldn’t physically leave the Goddesses side so whenever she got to nosy they would simply run in all there graceful glory away from her…bitches.

“The poison…its…eating away my soul, my immortality and I am not meant for mortality therefore the only way for my soul to stay in tact…I have to be…near someone who has one like mine.” Artemis prayed the slayer would buy that…it had so many holes a titan could walk through it so to speak.

“So why don’t you just have one of your nymphs or Apollo hang around.” Buffy asked, unsure as to why she drew the metaphorical short straw.

“It has to be you…I’m…I’m sorry.” Artemis muttered, Buffy fought back a smile at the absolutely pained expression on the Gods face.

“That was really difficult for you to say wasn’t it?” Buffy asked, looking down she studied the golden manacle around her wrist. “How long?”

Artemis understood she was asking about the bracelet. “Until I’m healed…shouldn’t be too much longer now.”

Buffy nodded and leaned back in hear chair. Her back was tight and her neck hurt awfully, sleeping on the chaise definitely wasn’t heavenly.

“What’s wrong with you?” Artemis asked, the pain subsiding she could see that the slayer was sitting stiffly.

“Nothing my back just hurts from sleeping on the chaise.” Buffy firmly rubbed her neck and studied the murals on the walls as she firmly worked the muscles loose. She needed to slay something.

Artemis watched the mortal carefully, she didn’t fail to notice how the Greek chiton the slayer was wearing grew taught against her breasts as she rubbed her neck…apparently it was colder in here that she had originally thought. Artemis couldn’t seem to draw her eyes away and something began nagging at the back of her mind…a way to stop this. The tea…Cupids TEA!

Without any preemptive thought Artemis all but forgot about her leg and leapt up, efficiently not only delivering the most blinding pain, she also collapsed and curled into the fetal position, attempting not to cry in front of the slayer.

“Artemis!” Buffy cried, rushing over she rolled the woman onto her back and wrapped her arms around the Goddesses waist and lifted her off the ground and back onto the bed. “Are you on some kind of mission to see how many times…wait…are you just trying to get drugged up again?” Buffy asked, looking over at the empty glass of medicinal tea.

The entire day before Artemis had opted to drink so much of the pain relieving tea she had been stoned out of her mind to avoid having to acknowledge the blondes presence.

“No…wanted my own tea…it’s in my weapons chest, small green bag.” Artemis could still feel the impression of Buffys breasts against her arm…this had to stop, she refused to fall in love again. Fates be damned she would rather rot in the Underworld.

“Its not drugs?”

“No I swear by Zeus hairy ball-sack its not.” Artemis snapped, exasperated. Buffys eyebrows shot up considerably.

“Hairy ball-sack? Is that a curse?” Buffy asked, curious, smiling when Artemis rolled her eyes and scooted farther onto her bed.

“Yes. It is only logical that swearing would entail genitalia as well as Gods would it not? Now seeing how I am being inadvertently self destructive can you get tea?”

Laughing softly Buffy nodded and went over the the tall bureau that served as Artemis weapons chest. Looking over at the Goddess she was surprised to see Artemis staring at her, she always seemed to be…

Rooting around among the swords and array of arrows she found a small green bag of tea leaves. Pulling it out she carefully sniffed it, not smelling any of the pain relieving elements that were on the other teas Buffy went and stood in front of Artemis, frowning when she realized a small tingle swept through her…of arousal. What the hell?

“What kind of tea is this?” Buffy asked, when she didn’t get an answer she looked up from the tea and at Artemis who seemed to have her eyes glued…elsewhere…”UP here…Artemis hey!” Snapping her fingers she finally managed to get the Goddesses eyes to leave her considerable cleavage…honestly she missed her clothes. This chiton hid nothing at all.

“Its just tea, its not drugs I just like to drink it before hunting…its hard to get…I know this hasn’t been easy for you and I was wondering if you’d like to drink some with me.” Artemis forced her eyes to stay connected to Buffys…by Heras tits they were blue.

“Alright…thanks…how much do you want me to make.” Buffy asked, turning her back towards Artemis and drew the jug of water.

When she didn’t get an answer Buffy began to turn but Artemis croaked out “All of it” so Buffy dumped the entire contents into the jug.

Artemis knew that technically they would only need a pinch but she had been stuck in here for two days with the slayer and she didn’t want any chance for anything to grow beyond friendly tolerance. And damned if she couldn’t seem to stop staring at Buffys…attributes.

She watched as Buffy moved gracefully, the chiton suited her much better than her modern clothing however Artemis missed those dreadful leggings and top at the moment…they hid everything. The chiton didn’t…it was a white and red chiton that fastened behind Buffys neck, leaving a deep dip in her cleavage as well as leaving her back bare…

“Here” Buffy said, she had been standing right beside the Goddess for nearly a minute once the tea was done and the Goddess didn’t seem to notice she had moved at all. Artemis blinked rapidly and grabbed the glass of tea, drinking it like a starving man from the desert Buffy frowned before raising her own glass.

The tea was sweet…it tasted absolutely heavenly, spreading a warm fuzzy feeling through her Buffy realized suddenly that the tea was gone…frowning she looked down at the goddess who had also emptied her glass and was staring at her…her eyes seemed to blaze with an intensity that suddenly caused all reason to flee running and screaming for the hills.

“Buff…” Artemis whispered, Buffy felt it…all at once hot blazing arousal filled her entire being. Dropping the glass she moved and straddled the copper haired woman’s lap an instant before crashing her lips against the Goddess.

Artemis groaned at the first feel of Buffys tongue striking a path down her neck, groaning she willed there clothes from them, at the first feel of flesh against flesh they both groaned and Artemis raked her nails down Buffys naked back.

Fisting the blondes hair she pulled the slayer away from her neck and kissed the slayer, moaning she rolled them so that Buffy was beneath her and she let her hands wander, stroking the blondes breasts, pinching and rolling her nipples until the slayer was writhing and moaning beneath her she leaned down, taking one rosy nipple into her mouth, she sucked and bit, harder when Buffy gasped and arched into her touch.

Suddenly Buffy grasped her uninjured thigh and pulled it towards her, effectively putting the blonde within reach too….oh gods! Artemis gasped and growled against Buffys breast when the slayer slid her fingers easily into the wet arousal.

“Mmm…Gods above” Artemis gasped when Buffy thrust her fingers into the Goddess and deftly circled her clit. Buffy felt another wave of arousal hit her when she felt how Artemis’s walls tightened around her fingers, she had never felt this way…so hot and heady with lust she thought she would burst. She had to have her…that’s all that mattered.

“In me...Now” Buffy gasped when Artemis’s hand brushed against her pussy. Crying out she arched when the Goddess drove two and then three fingers into her relentlessly. Buffy could feel it building, faster and harder than anything before…she wrapped her thigh around the Goddesses waist, pumping into Artemis faster and faster, curling her fingers the stroke the g-spot she felt the Goddess come undone, her walls closing so tightly Buffy couldn’t move her hand as she arched and screamed her release.

That was all well and good but she had stopped fucking her…moaning Buffy moved against the fingers still inside her and Artemis suddenly rolled away from her, Buffy felt beyond reason and followed the Goddess who pushed Buffy upwards to straddle her face.
To aroused to be embarrassed Buffy went with it and at the first feel of Artemis’s tongue inside her Buffy screamed and began undulating against her, feeling her orgasm build Buffys movements became more erratic and when Artemis easily slipped four fingers into her Buffy stiffened as her orgasm ripped it ways through her. Moaning and panting Buffy fell away, strangely instead of feeling satisfied she wanted more…more of Artemis.
