At Last [for scarlettwin]

[shooterfromafar]

As far as Apollo could tell when it began, the day was no different than any other day. Standing on the balcony of his favorite estate, overlooking the crystal blue Aegean, the weather sunny and fair, he had no warning at all that this day of all days would be the one to change his immortal life forever.

He felt a tingle at the back of his neck, a signal that one of his brethren Olympians had just used their gift to appear in his vicinity. Although the humans of the world had not worshipped the gods of Mount Olympus in a long time, they still retained their power and immortality, and so such travel was still available to them. Apollo also recognized the feel of this arrival, knowing it to be his beloved twin sister, Artemis. He'd invited his twin to spend time at his villa as he often did, cherishing the time he spent around her.

Artemis had always been his other half, that which completed him. And Apollo had never once questioned his desire to make that true in every sense. They were gods, and in his opinion, utterly above any human mores or standards. He loved his sister, as a true friend, as a part of him, and as a woman. And Apollo had spent centuries trying to convince Artemis of this and, if he was truly fortunate, to forsake her ancient vow of celibacy for him.

But always, Apollo had been spurned, at least in that last respect. It did not keep him from continuing to try, though, and so when he turned to greet his twin, it was with open arms and a warm smile and thoughts of how best to prevail upon her.

"My beloved sister..."

Comments

[scarlettwin]

If she were with any other mortal or God, Artemis' inexperience would be her problem. They wouldn't let her set the pace of their intimacy, only focused on their own desires. Whereas with Apollo, he wanted to take his time to explore her. To let her tell him what she wanted from him. He had been waiting for this moment for so long, he wasn't about to ruin it.

Artemis shuddered from his hot breath and the images his words conjured in her mind. She bit her lower lip and bowed her head, trying to hide how aroused he was making her. Her lower lips wet with anticipation.

"Go mad, you say? I don't believe you could drive me to madness, Brother..." a silent challenge in her words, trying to tempt him to do more.

"But if you do, how long will we be tangled in your sheets? Hours? Days? Will you let me stay in your bed until we are thoroughly satisfied?"

[shooterfromafar]

A low, humming sound rose from deep in Apollo's chest as his sister's wonderful spirit rose to the surface and teased him, challenged him to do his very best to undo her completely. He was more than up to the challenge, of course-- he relished the idea of it.

With Artemis' head lowered, his lips wandered over her temple and brow and cheek as they spoke.

"How long will I 'let' you stay? Dearest sister, were it up to me, you and I might never leave that bed for the rest of our immortality. But short of that, I expect you to go nowhere until you are completely sated and not a moment before."

[scarlettwin]

Apollo's lips to her skin made her heart race and womanhood quiver with anticipation. She could only imagine where his lips would travel. What parts of her his tongue would caress, or where his hands might roam. He was up for the challenge and Artemis, she was willing to keep going. She was nervous, but that was normal. She was the one who set the pace, and could easily bring it all to a halt.

Her hand came up to rest on his chest, right over his heart. His was beating steadily, confident and excited about their night or nights together. Her eyes were fluttered shut, picturing what he would do to her. Thankfully, he was holding her, otherwise she would be weak in the knees.

"You would want to keep me only in your bed? Brother, you are cruel. I thought you would at least want to explore other areas to have fun." She had heard being intimate in the water, a pool or bath, was fun. Whatever he wanted to do with her...she was eager and nervous to do it.

[shooterfromafar]

"Oh, is that so?" Apollo answered, laughing heartily. "My dear sister is already planning on running and flying before she's learned to walk. Although," he answered, his eyes shining warmly, "I suppose I should expect nothing less from you."

His hands clasped around the one that Artemis had placed on his chest and lifted it to his lips, kissing her fingertips before moving his lips to her palm and the inside of her wrist, where he could feel his twin's pulse against his kiss. Apollo did not stop there, kissing his way up her arm, to her shoulder, neck, and then to her mouth once more.

"If that is your wish, then we can keep going until there's nowhere on Earth we haven't made love."

[scarlettwin]

Artemis opened her eyes to see the warmth in her twin's. They were challenging one another, but in a playful way. Artemis want to know what her brother would do to, just to prepare herself...and get herself aroused.

She said nothing, watching Apollo kiss her fingertips and felt his lips travel from her wrist up her arm and then to her mouth. This time she was prepared, kissing him back and even found herself deepening the kiss slightly, letting her tongue play with his before he pulled back.

"That sounds perfect.." she breathed, looking up at him and leaned in to initiate a kiss of her own, still a novice, but she wanted it to be sweet, sensual, and teasing. Artemis pulled back after a few moments, pressing her forehead against her twin's.

"Take me to your bed, brother."

[shooterfromafar]

Apollo was delighted to find that his twin's quick abilities with the physical extended to these tender, more intimate activities, as well. Every time they kissed, he could feel her growing more confident and more daring. His tongue danced with hers for a moment before Artemis spoke with such warm anticipation. And as soon as the words were spoken, they were there.

He lowered his sister to the bed, plush and soft and topped with silken covers. Apollo climbed onto the bed beside her, stretching out their bodies together. His mouth claimed hers once more for a moment before tracing a line of kisses down Artemis' throat, stopping at the edge of the fabric of her gown.

"May I see you, my love?" he asked with heat simmering under the tone of his voice, "or would you feel more comfortable seeing me first?"

[scarlettwin]

Artemis' confidence was steadily growing. Each time they kissed she felt her confidence rise, and felt a bit bolder. She trusted her brother to not take advantage of the gift she was giving him; the chance to be whole with her, to see her in her truest form, and to be with her. There was still some anticipation and nervousness dwelling in Artemis. A new experience for her to face and the chance to shed her old vows.

She went from being in her brother's arms to his bed. The soft sheets felt light and smooth on her skin. His mouth was on hers again, allowing her tongue to glide and grind against his. Artemis went as far as dipping her sleek muscle into his mouth for another taste of him. The kiss didn't last as long as Artemis had anticipated, but his lips left a trail down the column of her throat to the edge of the fabric of her gown. His question left her breathless and unsure of what she wanted first.

"...I don't know," her voice came back to her then, letting him know she was still anxious about what they would. Artemis softly shut her eyes to ground herself and took a deep breath. She had seen Apollo naked once, the day he was born. This shouldn't be any different. She opened her eyes to look at him, her hand coming up to caress the side of his face as she weighed her options.

"...May I see you first, my love?"

[shooterfromafar]

Silently, Apollo was struggling somewhat against his Olympian nature. They were beings of fierce, passionate instincts, and like his father and uncles, there was a deep-seated urge inside of the god to simply take what he wanted, to satisfy his own desires without regard for the women who were the objects of that desire. But Artemis was different. She was no mortal beauty, she was his one true beloved, his other half. And he would treat her like a queen, and worship her like a goddess.

His smile was wide and warm. "Of course," Apollo answered easily, then rose up from the bed. Fighting the urge to hasten the process, he slipped out of his raiments until he was unclothed before his twin. As a god of athletic, youthful virility, his body was lean and muscled, burnished gold by the sun. If her eyes moved down his form, Artemis would find her brother's cock already hard and waiting, jutting proudly from below his waist.

Apollo moved closer to Artemis, leaning over to kiss her again.

[scarlettwin]

The Gods themselves were beings of power and passion. There was nothing that could prohibit them from taking what they wanted. A lot of her cousins and uncles didn't think of the repercussions of their actions, only wanting to satisfy their desires. Then there was Hera who let jealousy consume her and act out against the poor women bedded by Zeus. Artemis could only imagine the internal struggle her brother was having; wanting her, but holding back from taking her as he would with any other mortal woman.

He agreed to her request, pulling back to take off his raiments, letting them fall to the floor. He was soon bare before her. Artemis took in the sight of her brother, his well sculpted body, his beauty, and of his proud manhood standing erect. Her heart sped up and the ache between her legs grew. She began to sit up, placing her hands over his shoulders as their lips met. Her tongue slipped back into his mouth, tasting more of him and found her confidence growing.

"Brother..." she murmured, pulling back to press her forehead against his. She used her power to strip herself of her gown., leaving herself bare to him. A lithe woman who had curves and a modest chest. She wasn't as golden as him, but she was still sun-kissed even though she preferred the glow of the moon. Hopefully he would enjoy her body as much as she would enjoy his.

[shooterfromafar]

He could feel Artemis' eyes moving over his body. It was a moment he'd been anticipating for a long time, and even knowing what he was, there was still the smallest tinge of apprehension at his sister finally seeing him this way. Apollo was thrilled then to see not just appreciation in his twin's gaze but a hunger that clearly told him her desire was rising and growing in strength.

The kiss that followed was her most confident, most daring yet. Their mouths danced firmly, almost fiercely, tongues slipping against each other. Apollo felt he gown evaporate, then pushed himself back so that he could see her properly.

His breath caught in his throat. Finally, he pressed himself to speak. "My love... my Artemis... you are..." The god's eyes slid over every beautiful, perfectly sculpted inch of his sister's naked body and felt himself aflame with desire and adoration. Apollo's smile went wide. "... divine," he completed at last, then lowered them both back to the bed, his mouth covering hers for a moment before he started to kiss his way down her neck.

[scarlettwin]

For a brief moment the goddess was afraid of what her brother would say about her naked form. The urge to cover herself back up was growing the longer his eyes stayed on her naked flesh. There was nothing shameful about her body. There weren't scars or any imperfections on her skin, not a slight blemish. It didn't calm the butterflies in her stomach, but hearing that single word fall from his lips dispelled all of her doubts.

"Brother," she found herself murmuring before he claimed her lips again. Her back on the soft sheets of his bed again. There was a lingering feeling of nervousness, but as the seconds ticked on, the feeling lessened. Her tongue moved past her lips, dancing and gliding against his. Her hands roamed over his shoulders and chest, holding onto him while relishing their bodies touching; nothing obstructing them or separating them.

"Brother..." Artemis murmured again, finding the courage to brush her hips against his, feeling his leaking head pressed against her inner thigh. She was ready for him, ready to feel thoroughly connected as they were always meant to be.

[shooterfromafar]

Kissing, holding, touching. For a few long minutes, there was nothing on Apollo's mind but the physical sensations of holding Artemis against him, naked and warm and wanting. He could breathe her in, and vice versa, and the world was nothing but the two of them slowly melding into one another. Her skin tasted like the finest of wines under his mouth, and her pulse was strong against his lips as he kissed his sister's throat.

His mouth had descended as far as her collarbone when he felt Artemis roll her hips against him, brushing the tip of his cock with her leg. Apollo tilted his head back and smiled.

"Sister? Getting a bit impatient, are we?" Apollo placed another kiss on her skin. "I don't mind at all, of course, but I just wanted to make sure that you felt like skipping the preliminaries for now." No disappointment. It wasn't as though they didn't have all eternity to do everything with one another possible.

[scarlettwin]

A blush bloomed on her cheeks hearing her brother's comments. A great deal of her was ready and she was trying to show that. While they did have all of eternity to enjoy one another, she was a little eager. That was all. After all, she had been waiting for the right moment to tell her brother, to show him she was ready. Could he really blame her?

"I...got a bit carried away," she admitted softly, a bit embarrassed and a touch shy. "I want to take our time, but you..." how could she put it into words exactly?

"Are fulfilling your promise. Driving me mad with your lips and tongue..." She knew how good her brother was, but had yet to experience how good until now.

[shooterfromafar]

Apollo couldn't blame her at all, of course, especially with how much of him was demanding that he take her then and there. But those were the ways of the other Olympian men, and this was Artemis, the other half of his soul, and he would not treat her like any other woman in all of creation. She was the woman, and so she would have every drop of pleasure he could wring out of their time together before he at last was one with her.

"I suppose I left myself open for that one," Apollo replied with a chuckle. "All right, back to this most pleasant of tasks..."

The god bent his head and set out to fulfill his promise. His lips began to rove over Artemis' chest, covering her breasts with kisses before drawing one nipple, then the other, between his lips.

[scarlettwin]

"You really consider this a tas--!" Artemis' words died and dissolved into a moan. Her nipples stood pert, yearning for attention. Once Apollo claimed each tip with his mouth, it left the goddess moaning. Her back arching and toes curling. A slight sheen of wetness on her tips from his mouth. He was certain stroking the fans of desire in her.

"Brother..." she half growled, her moving to tangle in his hair. One hand tugged on his hair a little, trying to keep him at her chest for a moment longer. Hadn't he promised to go lower with his mouth? Down to her womanhood and tease her? Make her climax with his tongue alone? Or was that her imagination getting away from her?

Artemis' core was aching, needing something to fill her. She yearned for that connection, yearned to fill that empty space between her legs with her brother. Still, she didn't want to rush things, but her needs had to be addressed.

"My love....my tormentor.." she breathed. "I...I want your fingers in me. I need a part of you in me..."

[shooterfromafar]

Oh, he heard the timbre in Artemis' voice when she called him brother just then, recognized the rough sound of desire overtaking reason. How Apollo had longed to hear those desires consume his beloved sister, to know that they were directed at him. Now that he had his wish, there was a pleasant war within him between his need to take Artemis and his want to take his time and enjoy.

But that growl let him know his twin wanted to pick the pace up a little, and Apollo was happy to oblige. He kissed his way down the plane of Artemis stomach until he was finally settled between her spread legs. He started by kissing her sex in the same way he had claimed his sister's mouth, soft and coaxing at first, then slowly growing more insistent. Her wetness tasted like the finest of wines, sweet and heady, and Apollo drank deeply.

His tongue began to lap along her slit, gradually opening her to him. Once he could, Apollo pressed the tip of his tongue into her entrance.

[scarlettwin]

Each kiss down her body was electrifying, sending jolts of pleasure down her spine and throughout her form. She knew Apollo was skilled with his lips, his hands, and his body when it came to the carnal arts. She didn't think the slightest touch from him would make her shiver and shudder so much.

Soon he was between her legs. Before Artemis could inquire to what he was doing, she felt his tongue and moaned loudly. Her knees buckled and her toes curled. Her hands gripped the sheets tightly, and she forced herself to not move so much. Apollo; her brother, lover, and tormentor all in one.

"Keep...keep going..." she murmured, trying to let him know what she wanted and not demand anything of him. At least not yet. But the more his tongue explored her sex, the more she ached for his cock.

[shooterfromafar]

Apollo had long ago discovered the benefits to being well-versed in the female anatomy. Not only was medicine one of his gifts, it also allowed him to bring great pleasure to his lovers, an effort he always saw reciprocated most enthusiastically. With Artemis, he was content to wait for such a return, especially considering how long he'd waited to get his beloved sister this far.

His tongue ran up and down her sex, gently but unhaltingly coaxing her to warm and open more and more to his attentions. As she began to bloom and open for him, his tongue explored Artemis' every fold and inch, tracing her completely. Apollo drew more and more wonderful sounds from his twin, keeping his attention fixed to find out which spots gave her the most pleasure.

[scarlettwin]

Apollo was fulfilling his promise; leaving his twin a withering mess and driving her mad. Her hold on the sheets was turning her knuckles white. Artemis was gasping and raised her hips once his tongue swept over her folds. She had to force herself not to scream from the intensity of it. Her heart ramming against her chest. Artemis couldn't hold out any longer.

"Apollo!" she cried, shifting in the bed, eyes fluttering shut.

"I can't...I can't take this, Brother," she panted, face flushed and body hot. "You're kept me in suspense, my love. I...I need to have you inside me to make us whole." Before she came, before she felt her first climax. She wanted it to be with him. To have his length pulsing inside of her and spilling his seed in her body.

[shooterfromafar]

Apollo would have been entirely happy for his sister to scream in pleasure, and to have dozens of orgasms before he had any attention paid to him. Artemis was simply too precious, and the opportunity too monumental for him to be considering his own pleasure, not matter how hot the fire inside him was burning.

But then Artemis spoke, and his head popped up from between her thighs, his mouth and chin glistening with her arousal. Apollo raised an eyebrow, then smiled. "And here we all thought you would always be the most level-headed of us. I'm very proud to have found your weakness, darling sister. So of course I will oblige."

Light words that masked the elation leaping through Apollo's senses at the prospect of finally being one with his other half, at last slipping inside of Artemis where he'd always been meant to be. Apollo rose up to his knees, settling himself between his twin's legs. His cock, still stone hard and aching, rested against her slit for a moment before he started to press it against her, stroking lightly until it too was coated in her juices.

[scarlettwin]

How could she be level headed when she had her brother between her legs, teasing her until she was on the verge of screaming? As strong willed as Artemis was, she couldn't hold out forever. She had been denying herself this sort of pleasure for eons. If she wanted to experience her first orgasm, she would want it to be with her other half; the person who knew her better than anyone else. The person who had chased her down and coaxed her into this new part of her life.

"Be warned, brother, I'll do my damndest to find your weakness." she hissed, watching him move up from her legs to position himself just right. Artemis could feel his head against her slick passage. The heat radiating off of him was enough to make her toes curl. Her hands roamed over his shoulders with one hand cupping his chin to bring him down for a kiss.

As he began to sink himself into her, Artemis initiated a kiss. Something to distract her from the slight uncomfortableness that came from being one with her brother. A loud moan left her lips feeling her walls stretch as her body took in her brother. One inch after another disappeared into her body. This....this was beyond what she read and thought would feel. She didn't dare move until he was completely inside of her, waiting to feel him move for the first time.

[shooterfromafar]

At those challenging words from Artemis, Apollo paused in his positioning and offered his sister a wry, but infinitely warm smile, and it wasn't merely due to his twin's naturally competitive and determined nature, though he loved those dearly. No, it was the very idea she'd mentioned. "Oh, my beloved sister," he drawled, "you already know it. You are it."

He moved obediently into the kiss she pulled him into, slotting his mouth over hers to taste Artemis as deeply as he was intending to press inside of her. With a moan that he breathed into Artemis' mouth, he slowly pushed forward, the tip of his length parting her folds and passing into her entrance. She was as tight as a vise and as hot as a furnace, and if not for the wetness he'd coaxed from her body, Apollo would have had a difficult going of it.

Apollo inhaled deeply when it was his twin's turn to moan from the penetration. Bit by bit, he stretched and filled her until the root of his girth pressed against the clit he'd been teasing not long before.

"At last..."

[scarlettwin]

Artemis' heart jumped into her throat, caught off guard by his admission. They were each other's weakness, she knew, but she didn't think she would be the one to bring her mighty brother to his knees. Then again, the signs had been there all along, but she would herself his 'weakness' against him when she could. She would return the favor thrice fold.

Artemis enjoyed the taste of him and her on his tongue. Her sleek muscle coming out to tease and grind against his. Her hands roaming over his back until one roamed up to tangle its digits in his hair. Their bodies sliding into position as he stretched her out further. Her virgin walls caressed by his mighty length until his girth was pressed against her clit. When he was fully inside of her, Artemis pulled back, her forehead pressed against his as she savored the moment.

"Brother..." she whispered, biting her lower lip, shifting slightly enough to shudder. Thoroughly connected, one at long last and able to truly enjoy each other. No one would know Artemis was deflowered by her brother. History would see her as a virgin, but never know how she broke her oath and bedded her brother.

"My love...my sweet brother.."

[shooterfromafar]

Whole.

It was the only true word to describe the feeling, and yet such a small, mortal concept to try to encompass the idea that Apollo, for all of his power and renown, all the lovers he'd taken, had never once felt entirely complete. That it was Artemis, his twin and other half, who was the only thing that could be the rest of him he'd known from the very start, and his immortal life had been filled with the aching longing for her.

And now, the moment had at last arrived. He held Artemis in his arms, felt her naked body pressed against his, her hand in his hair and his rigid length buried to the hilt within her sex.

"My sister, my love," he sighed, then as they continued to kiss, he gently began to move, rolling his hips a fraction of an inch.

[scarlettwin]

That slight change was enough to make her moan her brother's name. As he moved, Artemis moved with him, getting used to feeling of being attached to him; their bodies thoroughly connected and lips pressed against each other. She was willing to follow Apollo's lead, just as long as he didn't slip out of her. He didn't dare break their union.

There was nothing else that mattered to Artemis in this moment. She wouldn't want to leave his bed for hours, days or years. Not until they made up for lost time.
