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

[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.

[shooterfromafar]

With any of his other lovers, at least the ones he cared about ensuring mutual satisfaction, it had always taken a bit of time for their bodies to find a rhythm together. With Artemis, there had been no adjustment, no hesitation. From the moment Apollo had begun to rock his hips, his twin had matched the sway of his body perfectly. Although his thrusts were still slow and short in order to give his sister time to adjust to being filled with his cock, the twins moved as one.

His mouth continued to press and work against hers. In between those kisses, Apollo groaned and whispered hotly against Artemis' lips. "I dreamed... I dreamed of this so many times... those dreams never matched how good you feel..."

[scarlettwin]

"Apollo.." Artemis murmured his name like a prayer again, moving with him, continuing to feel so at ease with him now. Her body was his, and his body was hers. She had never taken a lover before, a handful had come close, but they were never able to get through to her like Apollo. He was the other half of her soul, the only other being who knew her so well and could make her feel so good. Even when she was nervous and hesitated, he continued to be patient with her and now his efforts were rewarded.

"Never thought I could love you more than this...." she murmured back, moving with him, her lips claiming his again and again. Their tongues dancing, tasting each other and getting drunk off the sensations.

"Don't hold back brother, we both....we both need this..." That rush of ecstasy and to feel him throbbing inside of her. Both of them finally connected as they always should have been.

[shooterfromafar]

It was, in a word, heaven. Laying with Artemis, holding her in his arms, feeling her bare skin against his, and most important of all, to have his length buried inside of her snug heat-- it was the only kind of paradise he could ever conceive of wanting. As they rolled and shifted against one another, the slow, slick thrust of him inside of her, Apollo's head swam with the ecstasy of it.

He grinned at her pledge of love. "Perhaps that's why the mortals often call it 'making love'? I know now that I will have an infinite supply of it for you, my beloved sister."

When Artemis encouraged him to continue, he quickened his pace and deepened his thrusts, but not too far. He still wanted his twin to enjoy every moment of this. There would be time for wild abandon later. But for now, this was wild enough, and far more than simply pleasurable. "Tell me when you get close to coming, love. I will follow you."

[scarlettwin]

"I'm almost there, brother...a-almost.." she could feel the pleasure bubbling inside of her, threatening to overwhelm her. Instead of running from it, she embraced it. Continuing to move with her twin until her body couldn't take much else. She let out a loud cry and called out his name. The only sign she could give him, the only word that came to mind.

Her walls contracted, wrapping around his length and holding him to her. Ecstasy, the likes of which she hadn't known until now, came crashing on her body. Her eyes fluttered shut and her heart was beating rapidly. Gods, that felt...incredible...more than she ever thought it would.

[shooterfromafar]

He had heard his name come from his sister's lips a thousand times over the centuries, but to hear it in that moment-- sounded at the peak of her pleasure, cried out like a shout of victory and ecstasy and exhilaration-- those syllables had never sounded so amazing. It was that sound as much as the fluttering and pulsing of Artemis' sheath around his length that at last pushed Apollo over the edge.

As she clutched at him with her entire body, Apollo's own tensed, his back arching as his own orgasm exploded like thunder. His cock swelled within her depths, spilling stream after stream of his release inside of her. It felt as though he were pouring his very essence out at the same time he was receiving all of Artemis' own.

[scarlettwin]

Artemis could feel her brother's breath on his skin. Hear his raging heart beat in her ears, and feel his seed coming into her body. They were utterly connected as lovers. Connected as they had been eons ago. The Earth didn't tremble from their love making, nor did the universe implode from Artemis breaking her vows. The world continued on as it did...no sign of any change.

Bodies slick with sweat, Artemis continued to hold onto her brother. Their bodies thoroughly tangled and sighed happily.

"..I love you."

[shooterfromafar]

Apollo could not remember a moment when he'd felt both utterly drained and immeasurably full. His love for his sister was endless and bursting within him, even though he'd just had the most momentous climax of his immortal life. Heated and wet, their bodies adhered together in the most delightful manner, especially as Apollo found himself wishing they might never need to release each other ever.

He leaned his head in and kissed his twin softly. "I love you, Artemis," Apollo replied, then let himself sink back down onto her, soaking in the feeling of being connected with her forever.

[OOC: Flash forward after this?]

[scarlettwin]

[ooc: Sure! Let me know if this works.]

After that first moment together, Artemis found herself unable to really let go of her brother turned lover. She wanted to feel his arms on her at all times, and keep him pressed closed to her body. She had a taste of what she deprived herself for so long, it was hard to stop. Minutes turned to hours, then days, and weeks of them not daring to leave Apollo's home. No one came to bother them, but they took their time in exploring one another.

Even cleaning each other up in the bath was an adventure in itself. Artemis didn't think Apollo could make her come in so many different ways. Or make her feel loved and treasured each time. As the days and nights wore on, she found herself lost in his sheets and in his embrace.

As it were, she was laying down next to him, her head on his chest as she slept. They had fallen asleep after another round, their spirits willing to do more but their bodies needed rest. Artemis hadn't found herself sleeping this peacefully in eons and she didn't think she'd ever want to sleep without her brother.

[shooterfromafar]

To say that Apollo was content was to call the sky wide or Olympus tall. Never in all his immortal life had he felt anything like he did now that he and Artemis were as close as they were always meant to be-- siblings, friends, and now lovers. There were so many moments during the blended stretches of days where he was scarcely aware of where one of them ended and the other began, and to be honest, the god didn't really care. They were one and that was all.

Add to that the absolute delight he took in introducing his twin to all the myriad pleasures of the flesh, of all the ways her body could be coaxed and stirred and driven to pleasure and orgasm, and how she might be able to do the same for him. Laying in his bed, bodies moulded into one another, there was no where else in creation he wanted to be.

Which unfortunately made the timing of the summons even worse. There was a loud cracking noise in the air above Apollo's villa, and he sat bolt upright in the bed, groaning loudly in dismay.
