I live! For now anyways, had a mean fever this morning but after sleeping under a thick blanket and sweating like a hoe at confession, it broke so hopefully I'm all good. If I don't make it, just know I love you all!

Now, the story. More development and relationship building along with plenty of steamy goodness. I've had the biggest writer's block for this chapter, until it just hit me (while I was cooking alive under my blankets!). Beleive it or not, over 80 percent of this chapter didn't exist this morning (yesterday for you, I have yet to go back to sleep so its not a new day for me yet and I have nothing to do tomorrow).

Next chapter should be out soon becuase I'm wired on espresso and Bailey's right now (after a day of chugging water, Advils, and vitamins while sleeping till like 4 in the evening).

Enjoy, and remember, let me know what you guys think!

The vixen woke up feeling far more refreshed than she'd thought she'd be. After her talk with Amphitrite, she'd felt much of the tension just ease out of her, letting her sleep like a rock. Humming as she sat up and stretched her arms up as she sheets pooled at her waist leaving her torso bare, she caught a muffled moan of protest as the redhead next to her stirred too.

A mild pout and one silver eye opening slightly met the vixen's gaze, but Penny could only smile back. Normally Artemis was up and ready earlier than her but given the special weekend they were having; Artemis was far more interested in sleeping in. Case and point, Artemis mumbling something as she closed her eye and tried to snuggle into Penny's side, trying to tempt the vixen with cuddles and sleepy warmth.

Too bad Penny was up and feeling rather energetic at that.

"Morning," she chirped happily, quickly leaning down kissing the redhead's temple.

Artemis merely tried to borrow further into her pillow, but Penny wasn't deterred as a mischievous grin formed on her face. She kissed the redhead on the forehead this time, slowly letting herself loom over the smaller goddess. Another kiss followed at Artemis' cheek, and Penny continued from there.

Along the jaw, to the throat, and lower.

With every feathery soft kiss, Artemis started to squirm. A faint whimper of protest they both knew meant anything but escaped the redhead as Penny slowly pulled the sheets back. Artemis gently drifted from being on her side to settling on her back as inch after inch of pearly, moon-blessed skin was revealed to the vixen's searching eyes and hungry lips.

Reaching Artemis' perky bosom, Penny took particular delight in kissing all around the sensitive pair as Artemis really started to squirm, her eyes finally open as she looked on. Penny met her gaze as she playfully nipped and licked at the pert nipples, drawing the faintest of moans from the beautiful redhead. After a solid minute of that, Penny continued her descent, wiggling herself down with every kiss.

"You're insatiable," the redhead groaned but Penny caught the playful tone and underlying eagerness.

"You love it," Penny replied without even needing to look up.

She paused for a moment to rim Artemis' belly button and then blow on it, getting something between a squeal and a giggle from the surprisingly ticklish goddess. Grinning, Penny went even lower, kissing along Artemis' hip and navel as she settled herself between Artemis' opening thighs.

"I do," Artemis murmured, her voice low but tender as Penny shoot her a loving glance.

Caressing one thigh with her left, Penny's right traced over the smooth, hairless skin over the pink slit. Penny couldn't get tired of the view, watching as Artemis' lower lips swelled in arousal and dripping their excitement as her scent filled Penny's nose. Almost drooling, Penny leaned closer and gave a long, slow kiss to the lips as if they were her mouth.

A stronger, drawn out moan escaped Artemis as Penny made out with her pussy, her tongue expertly parting the lips and tasting every inch of them. Soon the vixen felt Artemis' hands land on her head, the redhead quickly taking hold of her fox ears getting a groan from the vixen. With the sweetness of Artemis' honey in her mouth and the goddess already starting to writhe in the throes of pleasure, Penny immersed herself to her task.

She oh so loved sweets in the morning…

A few hours later, a naked Penny all but bounced around the room after having left a steaming bathroom behind, Artemis sitting on the bed where Penny put her. The pair had tumbled in the sheets for a while, switching around and pawing at each other after Penny ate the redhead out long enough for two orgasms. She'd then moved to sitting on Artemis' face and had the favor returned—something Artemis was all too happy to do. That swiftly led to a 69 and equal orgasms for both goddesses before they finally got out of bed and went for a morning shower.

Together, naturally.

Only, Penny was still in the mood even if her Lust was sated for the day. All it took was one moment of Artemis bending over to retrieve dropped soap and boom! Penny was on her like a fox on a rabbit. Artemis' squeal of surprise, shock, and pleasure had been something for the books. From there, all Artemis could do was moan and brace herself against the wall as Penny had her way with the redhead. And the vixen was very aware Artemis loved every second of it, looking over her shoulder with smoldering lust and love.

After reaching delicious satisfaction once again, Penny finished up and stepped out with the redhead in her arms.

Her grin was almost snug as she looked at herself in a full-length mirror, admiring her own form for a bit—and enjoying Artemis appreciative looks even as the redhead started to brush her hair—as her cleaned and freshly fluffed tails swayed behind her. Winking at herself, she spun around and with a wave of her hand, the space above the floor shimmer before their clothes appeared, summoned from where they'd been left in Demeter's cabin.

Already knowing what she wanted to wear, the vixen started digging around and was quick to pull out her assemble.

She felt refreshed, light, and honestly rather flirty-saucy after her morning rump with her redhead so the clothes said as much. Forgoing a bra because she simple found it a hassle, the vixen stepped into a pair of lacy red panties with a cheeky back that hugged her like a second skin. A light green top with white petal designs, a somewhat low neckline and thin straps was soon hugging her curvy torso. A short blue skirt that flowed around her hips and bubbly rear, stopping just a little after mid-thigh. Lastly was a simple pair of black sandals.

Glancing back at her divine lover, Penny's silvery-green eyes met the sterling one's of Artemis.

"Go on, I'll be down in a bit," Artemis said, still brushing her hair even as she gave Penny a once over.

"I'll save you some bacon," the vixen replied as she was out in moments, her nose filled with the smell of cooking breakfast.

She all but flew down the stairs, nearly giddy, as she got to the kitchen and paused at the door to take in the sight.

There were her father and Amphitrite, moving together with an ease of experience and comfort as they prepared the food. Amphitrite humming as she stirred through a bowl of oatmeal and glancing at a pan with sizzling bacon, a fork in her off hand at the ready. Poseidon was already setting a large bowl full of scrambled eggs and another platter with bread rolls onto the table next to a large pot of steaming coffee and cups.

Both were dressed far more casually than last night.

Her father was in simple blue jeans and short-sleeved button shirt while Amphitrite looked similar to herself dressed in a form-fitting blue blouse and a dark pleated skirt with cream sandals. All in all, as they milled around Penny was struck with the simple atmosphere of it all and how she could fit in it after her talk with Amphitrite.

If I was still mortal, I'd be in college now, or at least getting ready to go for the Fall semester, she mused, leaning slightly against the doorframe of the hall as she watched her stepmother plate the bacon and turn off the heat for the oatmeal. This would be just a normal, lazy morning with the family. Her chest tightened a little at the thought, a sense of yearning springing up as she looked on.

Well, maybe normal was a bit of a strong word.

Anyone involved with the Mystic and the Divine tended to sign away normality, but then again, Penny wasn't sure she even wanted normal, or at least the mortal definition of it. It's not like it was a requirement for what she actually wanted anyways. Still, it looked like her presence was noticed—or at least acknowledged—by her father as he stopped by the table as he looked at her with a beaming smile.

"Good morning Penny," he said, all the warmth still present in his voice since last night.

Seeing and hearing it did wonders for the vixen as she recalled everything Amphitrite said about him and how much he cared. To an extent she already knew and sensed it but hearing it from the queen had made it feel all the more real for her. That it wasn't just her own desires, projections, and wishful thinking; that it was not only real, but there and within reach. So, instead of replying in kind, she just rushed forward.

"Hey now!" was her father's reaction as Penny latched on and tried hugging the stuffing out of him.

She snuggled into his broad chest as she pulled herself close, almost purring at the scent of ocean air, hints of rum, and a tinge of well used leather filled her nose and the feeling of warmth coming from him, especially when he gave a deep chuckle and wrapped his arms around her. She could feel his chin resting on the top of her head, right between her ears making them twitch a bit in delight. She caught an amused giggle from Amphitrite making the vixen turn her head enough to look at the queen and shoot her a cheeky smile.

"Good morning," she finally said, doing nothing to distance herself from the hug getting another, deeper chuckle from her father.

"Are you normally like this in the mornings?" he asked.

"Maybe~" she replied in a sing-song voice as she finally relaxed the hug enough to lean back and look up at Poseidon.

His smile shifted to more of a smirk as his hands lowered a little more to resting on her hips.

"Then we might have to have you over more often. It's nice getting so much love first thing in the morning," he continued with an amused smirk.

"As if you don't already get it from me," Amphitrite cut in with a mock huff as she set down the plate of bacon on the table, shooting a coy look at her husband.

"Maybe I want more?" Poseidon returned almost teasingly, hugging Penny close again.

I have no problem with that, she thought even as she snuggled her cheek against his chest again, her tails swaying happily behind her. She was all too happy to soak up every bit of affection available as she watched the husband and wife shoot playful little jabs at each other over their morning routines.

If went for another minute or two until all three stopped and turned to the hall just as Artemis arrived, freshly dressed in a flowing red dress that stopped just short of the knees and red sandals, her only accessory being the collar Penny fashioned for her. The redhead faintly blushed at having all three gods looking at her, but Amphitrite saved her from any more attention as she cleared her throat.

"Good morning Artemis," Amphitrite greeted as she held up several bowls. "Oatmeal?"

From there it was a quick matter of serving up the food and sitting down for the meal. With Poseidon to her left and Artemis to her right, the vixen quickly set her plate and dug in with gusto after Amphitrite made another joking salute to the gods, this time with a steaming cup of coffee. Conversations were light and brief like last night's dinner, no one needing to bring up the heavier material for now.

Then again, in a way, Penny couldn't help but think about last night, specifically her time spent with her stepmother.

Her eyes were almost constantly meeting those of Amphitrite's, the queen giving her several warm smiles throughout that left the vixen feeling both fluttery and nervous. She knew Amphitrite would be patient for her answer, either way it may be, but Penny felt almost guilty for making her wait in the first place.

Deep down she knew she wanted it just as much as Amphitrite showed her last night. Just thinking about it and saying 'yes' already almost made her squeal, but she just couldn't answer; not yet. Pushing that particular question and just who she needed to talk to first aside, the vixen still kept to responding with her own smiles and picking up little bits from the conversations last night.

She was still highly interested in Atlantis and what both the city and the culture under the sea had to offer, even more so after learning about the more particular quirks and attractions. Why Aphrodite never brought it up in their own talks and dates, she wasn't sure, but then again, the pair were usually focused on other things at the time and the sea rarely came up. Perhaps she'd take a chance to talk to the love goddess about it later.

Future discussions aside, the meal was soon wrapped up and this time, Penny wasn't about to let her father or stepmother to do all the pickup.

Pushing her chair back and standing, Penny pulled one of her—almost—mastered tricks as her Barrier formed up in the time it took her to stand. Practically invisible to all besides herself, she willed her barrier to expand from being skin-tight to forming the dome, passing over the gods. All three started and looked around to see what had barely touched them, not noticing Penny shiver slightly as she felt all three of them for a moment. It was the first time she used it with another divine being close enough to be within it.

It was in a word; stimulating…

Reigning herself in quickly, the vixen focused on what else she felt as the three gods could only look on in surprise and slight wonder as the empty dishes, cups, and silverware started to levitate after the vixen as she headed for the sink.

"Don't worry, I got the dishes," she said, throwing a cheeky wink over her shoulder at her silent audience, their widened eyes tracking the floating items.

She couldn't stop the slight giggle that escaped her at the looks, knowing why she was getting them.

Most gods had a degree of telekinesis, but it was simple stuff. Push and pull (usually needing line of sight to work right), make things float up to a set point or pin it down, maybe control its movement while directing it with a finger. Most never got further than that and, it always had detectable traces of mana or divine energy.

Her mental field though lacked the traces of energy they could detect beyond feeling it wash over them initially and with her seamless control, left all three wondering as to what she was doing and how. Having a little more fun with her audience, she made the plates and silverware float in a bobbing pattern as she hummed, preparing the sink.

She didn't even need to specifically turn on the hot water.

With a focused look, the water started to churn and bubble, light wisps of steam starting to come off the filling sink. Once ready, Penny made a show of directing the plates and such to pass through the water, the hot liquid responding to her will and perfectly washing off any food regardless of how stubborn. Then, as the clean plates came out of the water, a close wave of her hand visibly heated by Greek fire instantly dried, and then they neatly stacked.

In just a few minutes all the plates were clean and staked, even including the empty pots and pans used for the cooking.

"There, all done," she said as she dissipated the barrier and used a towel to wipe her hands, not that she needed to.

"… What was that?" Artemis asked, the other two gods looking just as curious.

"Well …" she trailed off, her voice getting airy as she looked between the attentive faces.

Deciding to open up about some of her newly realized abilities and theories she was working on, she came back to the table and started telling them. They were all polite and attentive, occasionally asking questions or making comments about possible applications of the ability. Her father was quick to point out combat uses, both defensive and offensive, even mumbling about adding sparing sessions into their future training to incorporate her mentally generated barrier as much as possible.

"… So, you're twice as strong with it the moment you form it, and then you can make yourself even stronger if you really focus," Artemis asked again for a little more clarification.

"I don't have it down to hard numbers but that's what it feels like," the vixen answered, idly running her hand through one of her tails she'd curled onto her lap.

A slight snort from Poseidon drew the attention of all three goddesses.

"Remember what I said about you not getting anywhere near enough training or testing your limits while with the Hunt?" he asked, getting a nod from her. "Just you wait and see how actually strong you are when you don't have to worry about hiding." He then gave a deep chuckle as he leaned back, look very pleased with himself. "And I thought I couldn't get prouder of you."

The look her sent her made her slightly blush as she smiled back, always happy to get any praise from him. She then turned her attention to Artemis.

"There's also something else I've been wanting to try."

"What?" Artemis asked, leaning forward curiously only to blink owlishly as Penny focused her eyes on the collar around her neck.

"Okay, come here," she said, pushing back her chair and patting her lap as she slipped off her tail.

Artemis was quick to follow her direction, getting up and walking around the table. She didn't even hesitate to sit across Penny's lap, looking at the vixen curiously yet clearly trusting her to do whatever she had planned. Penny rested a hand on the gemstone of the collar, feeling the redheaded goddess stiffen up slightly.

Narrowing her eyes, Penny called forth her barrier again, but this time, instead of manifesting it over herself, she directed it to the collar. She felt the response, the gemstone humming under her touch as it glowed in mixes of green for her or silver for Artemis. After 30 seconds, Penny felt something shift and soon, felt and sensed as her barrier started to form over Artemis.

The redhead hadn't been ready for it, shivering as she was coated.

In seconds she was fully covered, gasping as her fairly loose dress was suddenly pulled taut against her perky body. Penny watched for every little reaction, both visible and not, as she got a new perspective of the redhead's body. She could honestly say she'd memorized the touch and feel of each of her lovers, knowing the dips and curves of their bodies better than they did.

But this was taking that to an entirely new level.

She could feel every little bit of Artemis' body and how she was responding to the barrier's presence on her body. It was especially enticing for the vixen to feel what she wouldn't normally be able to see unless Artemis was naked, like the way her nipples hardened and grazed against her dress under the material. Where Artemis was getting goosebumps, where her skin was getting hot, and how her heart was racing away in her chest.

She couldn't help but grin as she started to get a little playful, wanting to push this little experiment further.

With a thought, she had Artemis gasp as mental caresses passed over her body, unseen to all others. A little touch along her back right on the way down and a tender squeeze of her thighs dragging up to cupping her rear. Artemis tried to stifle a moan, turning her head and pressing it down into the junction of Penny's neck and shoulders.

"What's wrong Artemis, feeling sensitive?" she asked, her voice dripping with amusement as she glanced across the table.

Her father and Amphitrite were looking both very curious about what Penny just did and also clearly interested/amused at how the redhead was reacting.

"I formed the barrier over her body through the choker," she elaborated for the two before her focus returned to Artemis.

"Penny~" said redhead whined, in a half-hearted mix of protest and building need, her breathe hot against the vixen's neck before she started to nibble on Penny's neck.

The vixen shivered at hearing that tone, tempted to do so much more. 'Oh, I'm definitely going to be experimenting with the barrier on her far more often,' she mused, all sorts of little plans popping into her head. Also, she needed to get a move on and start making more items like the collar around Artemis' neck for her lovers.

For the protection she could give them, naturally, but this arousing affect that Artemis was showing was definitely a plus as far as she divine sorceress was concerned. Still, as fun as it was having the flustered goddess on her lap, she needed to test further.

"Okay, Artemis, I need you to get up for me," she said, getting a tiny mewl of protest from the redhead.

It took a little coaxing to get her up with Penny's hand still on the choker, Artemis standing a little shakily as she tried to get her breathing under control. The vixen got up as well and slowly started to back up until just a finger was on the gemstone.

"Ready?" she asked, getting a small nod from the redheaded beauty.

Penny slowly removed her finger, watching and sensing as the barrier fluttered a little before it stabilized. Taking slow, measured steps back, Penny was happy to see that the barrier stayed solid, clinging to the goddess.

"Amphitrite," she spoke up, getting the queen's attention. "Can you go up to Artemis and try to poke her arm?"

"Sure," the goddess agreed as she got up, walking up to Artemis and gently pushing a finger to her arm.

Or at least, she tried to.

Much like when Penny was first tried with her barrier, Amphitrite's finger stopped barely an inch off from touching Artemis' arm. Penny could also distinctly feel Amphitrite's finger and the way the goddess was shifting how much pressure she had behind it. Getting a slightly amusing idea, Penny focused on the barrier where Amphitrite was touching. The queen then yelped as she pulled her finger back, looking at Penny and assuming correctly that she did something.

"Did you just bite me?" she asked, sounding somewhat bemused.

"Maybe~" the vixen replied coyly, a teasing smile on her face.

"Huh, and how does it feel being in it?" the queen asked as she returned her attention to Artemis.

"Like Penny's everywhere around and on me," the redhead replied breathily, squirming as Penny gave a teasing pass over her chest.

Amphitrite only hummed at that answer, shooting a very curious look Penny's way. The vixen only shot a wink back before she looked at Artemis again and then slowly willed the barrier to dissipate. Artemis let out a deep breath as the barrier disappeared, her dress flowing loosely again without the mental force holding it so close.

"So then, the first experiment was definitely a success," Penny said, loving the way Artemis blushed at her words.

Her message was clear; she was going to be experimenting with the redheaded goddess quite thoroughly.

"Okay, as fun as it is to watch you two flirt and make gooey eyes at each other, do you have any more plans for the day?" Poseidon cut in, his gaze on Penny.

The vixen was about to answer but Artemis beat her to it.

"Actually, I was thinking of heading back to the Hunt," the redhead said, getting a shocked look from Penny.

"But, we have all of today and tomorrow morning before we needed to get back," she said, her ears flattening as her mood dropped at the thought of cutting their date weekend short.

Artemis gave her a soft smile as she walked up to the vixen and hugged her, pushing their bodies together as she looked up at the taller goddess.

"I know, and you know I'd love to spend every moment of it with you, company or not," she said, giving a quick glance to the silent Poseidon and Amphitrite. "But I think you have some things you really need to do too."

Penny didn't miss the meaning behind them, her eyes trailing to her father and Amphitrite. The hopeful looks in both their eyes made her chest warm, even as she nibbled on her lower lip.

"Yeah," she said softly, looking back at the redhead. "I mean, this trip was about you, so if you're sure…"

"I am," Artemis agreed, standing up on her toes and giving Penny a soft, loving kiss. She then pulled back and asked, "Mind helping me pack my things and what we bought for the girls?"

"Sure," Penny agreed, leaning down for another quick kiss.

"Oh, speaking of things for the girls," Poseidon spoke up as the two beauties broke from their hug. "I have a few things for Mariana and Annabeth."

With a snap of his fingers, two small bags appeared within a bubbly pop in his hands, one sea green and the other blue.

"Of course, uncle," Artemis replied as she took the bags.

From there, the two goddesses headed back upstairs to the room they used. As they did, Penny conjured a new bag in hand for Artemis to use. With the expansion spell used within, the two made short work of putting their bags of newly bought clothes, some trinkets from their date, and what they bought for the girls at the Hunt. Once that was done, they came back down back to the living room where Poseidon and Amphitrite were waiting.

"Goodbyes?" Amphitrite asked with open arms, getting an amused chuckle from Artemis as the redhead happily walked into her embrace.

"Thank you," the queen said as she hugged the redhead tight before pulling back and giving Artemis a quick kiss, right on the lips.

Artemis squeaked in surprise, not really being able to react before Amphitrite had already pulled back. The queen looked very pleased with herself, especially at Artemis' flustered face as she blinked owlishly at the bigger goddess.

"Hey," Penny snapped with a huff, even as her wagging tails gave away her playfulness. "Those lips are mine."

"Penny, darling, a loving family is always willing to share," Amphitrite returned, winking at the silent redhead that was now squirming at the attention.

"Honestly you two," Poseidon added with a chuckle before he looked to Artemis.

"Nothing for me?" he asked teasingly, arms open and inviting.

Artemis gave him narrowed eyes, but the king of Atlantis looked the picture of innocence. Once upon a time, any male even looking at her like that would have been on the pointy end of her arrows—especially Apollo come to think of it—but being around Penny had done wonders to mellow out the redhead. She approached cautiously, like a doe ready to jump back in an instant.

Her preparation was for naught.

The moment she was close enough, Poseidon struck like a cobra. For the second time Artemis gave a big squeak as Poseidon took her into his arms, pulling her clean off her feet and into a big bear hug. Penny couldn't help but laugh at the sight of Artemis kicking her legs slightly as Poseidon twirled her around a bit.

"Uncle!" Artemis squawked, her face a bright golden as she puffed her cheeks like an indignant chipmunk.

"Oh, all right, I'll let go," Poseidon relented, lowering enough for her feet to touch the ground again, only for a grin to come back as he added, "But I need a kiss too."

Artemis growled—an adorable sound in Penny's opinion—back at him even as she stopped squirming, her silver eyes brimming with promised retribution. Poseidon look back fearlessly, probably more amused at such a notion than honestly worried. The stare off last a few seconds before Artemis huffed and leaned up on her toes.

She gave her uncle a quick kiss on the cheeks, getting him to finally let go.

"See, not so bad," he said with a chuckle, only to playfully shield himself as the smaller redhead slapped at his chest.

After carrying through with the 'attack' Artemis settled down as she grabbed her bag.

"See you tomorrow?" she asked, giving Penny big eyes which had the vixen quickly pulling the redhead into her arms and kissing the life out of her.

"Of course," she replied after pulling back, leaving the smaller goddess breathless. "… and thank you," she added, giving Artemis another quick peck of a kiss.

"You're welcome," Artemis replied before giving one last wave to the gathered gods and disappearing in a golden flash.

A bit of silence followed Artemis' departure, the three gods looking at each other until Amphitrite spoke up.

"So, what would you like to do dear?" she asked Penny, smiling encouragingly.

"Ah, I'm not sure," the vixen replied, scratching at her cheek as she glanced around before her eyes settled on the windows and the scenic view of the large lake and the surrounding woods outside. "Maybe explore a bit?"

"I think that'd be lovely," the queen agreed eagerly, "There's a nice trail that goes between the forest and coming to the lake at points that I'm sure you'd love. Let's just change shoes and we can head right out."

From there Amphitrite quickly took Penny's hand and led her back towards the stairs but shot Poseidon a look just as they got to them. Her father looked mildly put out at whatever that look meant, but he didn't voice any protest as he stayed at the foot of the stairs. 'He can probably see up our skirts like this,' she mused, glancing back down as she followed her stepmother.

Seeing his eyes clearly on them, glinting with amusement and enjoyment of the eye candy made her blush hotly. A giggle from Amphitrite brought the vixen's attention to the queen, seeing that the older goddess had also been looking back with a knowing smile.

"Perverted king," the goddess mused out loud, probably loud enough for Poseidon to catch.

A faint chuckle coming from downstairs confirmed that little tidbit as the two rounded the corner and walked the short distance to their room. Walking in behind the goddess, Penny was led to sitting on the bed before Amphitrite disappeared into what looked like a rather spacious walk-in closet.

"What's your size Penny?" the queen called out.

"Don't worry about it, a little magic and they always fit," she replied, although she could just as easily create some for herself either with Mist or her abilities gained from Aphrodite.

It didn't take long for Amphitrite to walk with two pairs of light boots, handing the vixen one set and sitting beside her. A minute—and a little sizing magic—later, both goddesses had their boots on and were heading back down. As they headed for the back door, they passed a small door off to the side.

A peak inside showed a cozy office with her father sitting behind a mahogany desk, a set of reading glasses on his face as he shuffled through some papers. He glanced up to meet her eyes, giving her a smile and wink before he returned to whatever he was reading.

Smiling to herself, Penny followed Amphitrite out, sighing as a cool breeze rolled over them.

"Falls right around the corner," Amphitrite commented as they stepped down from the back deck and onto the soft grass.

"I know, I can't wait," Penny replied, excited for all sorts of reasons.

Artemis usually planned for all manner of special Hunts near the Rockies during the months leading up to Winter, preparing the girls for the harsher season to follow while stocking up on bear before they hibernate, wild turkey, and even a monstrous breed of hogs that grow to the size of rhinos.

'You haven't had bacon until you've tasted Ironback Boar' were Artemis' exact words.

Plus, she loved Halloween in general, especially now that she was the Goddess of Magic and had intimate connections with the holiday and what could be done with it. 'And maybe dressing up in a little witch outfit to see how the girls react, for science of course,' she mentally added, already smirking to herself at the possibilities.

"Something on your mind?" Amphitrite asked, having caught the mischief in Penny's eyes as the pair walked along the trail.

"Oh, just holiday plans," the vixen replied nonchalantly.

"And just what might those be?" the queen asked, looking all to curious as she saddled up to Penny's side, taking her left hand in her right as they continued to walk.

Penny glanced down at their joined hands before smiling and squeezing back as she answered teasingly. "Who knows, maybe you'll have to wonder what they are and wait to see if I invite you for them."

"It's possible I won't be?" the queen asked, looking aghast at the mere suggestion.

"Maybe, depends on my mood," she returned getting a pout from the beauty.

"You wouldn't want a queen to grace your plans?" she asked, all haughty with her nose turned up.

"My, someone thinks highly of herself," the vixen tittered before adding, "And I'm a princess, right? That means the royalty box is checked off."

"But a princess is not a queen," Amphitrite shot back, grinning all the while. "And it would be in poor taste for a princess to not invite her own queen."

"Are you my queen?" Penny asked, tilting her head cutely as the pair stopped at one of the points where the trail touched on the lake shore.

The surface was calm and flat, a few of the early changing leaves fluttering down from the tress onto the waters and causing little ripples.

"Well, I'm married to your father, so I'd like to think so. If I'm not your queen, then I have a stepmother's authority to use in place of," Amphitrite volleyed back.

"And just what powers come with this authority?" Penny asked lowly, leaning a little against the sea goddess.

"Punishment," was the crisp reply before Amphitrite's voice got a little husky. "It means I can take this rude princess, put her over my knee, and spank the manners into her."

"But I like spanking," Penny retorted innocently, her tails wagging in excitement as Amphitrite bumped their hips together.

"Who says you can't," the queen commented, her face turning closer as her breathe washed over Penny's lips. "And if I can't find a way, then I'm sure my lord husband would be most gracious to offer his assistance. You're his naughty daughter after all."

That one got a prominent blush out of the vixen, getting an alluring laugh out of the queen. Penny soon joined, their musical voices filling the otherwise silent forest. After their laughs tapered off, the two continued walking in a comfortable silence for some minutes. The queen occasionally pointed out little sights and locations to Penny as they walked.

A favorite tree with shade that worked as an excellent reading nook, a large, flat boulder partly submerged into the lake that made a great sunning spot, and other such things. Penny relaxed as she enjoyed the walk, soaking in the pleasant atmosphere and Amphitrite's close presence in particular.

Once they reached another spot that encountered the lake—and roughly halfway through the trail itself—the queen spoke up again.

"So, did our talk last night help at all?" she asked, the faintest bit of nervousness showing through her warm brown eyes.

Penny paused at the sudden question, her eyes drifting out over the calm lake as another breeze gently passed over them.

"It did," she replied softly, turning her gaze back to the queen. "But still, I need to …"

"Speak to Sally," Amphitrite finished for her, the vixen nodding in turn. "I thought as much. Even after everything that's happened, after all the changes, making such a big choice without talking to her first just wouldn't sit right, would it?"

"No, it wouldn't," the vixen agreed before she looked intently at the sea goddess. "But that doesn't mean I don't want to, because I do," she admitted, feeling a sudden lightness to her chest at finally saying it.

It also get a larger smile from the queen, making her all the more beautiful in the vixen's eyes. Amphitrite then stepped close enough for their bodies to press together as the queen hugged her. Penny was quick to return the embrace, nuzzling into the junction between Amphitrite's neck and shoulder as the queen hummed.

"You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear that," the queen whispered softly.

"Even if I haven't really officially answered yet?" the vixen asked just as softly.

"It doesn't matter in the end," the sea goddess swiftly replied as she pulled back enough that the two could look face to face, their noses almost touching. "Just knowing that you want it does it for me."

"But you'd still love me saying 'yes' and actually adopting me," Penny teased back.

"Naturally," Amphitrite smoothly agreed. "Being called your stepmother doesn't roll off the tongue the way mother does."

"What if I like saying 'mommy' instead?" the vixen asked, pulling herself closer to the goddess as their chests pressed together, both their hands sliding to the other's hips.

"I'd love to be your mommy," Amphitrite whispered back, licking her lips as she leaned the last inch or so and lightly kissed along Penny's cheek, every little one slowly trailing closer to her lips.

The vixen purred at the feathery kisses, her hands gripping tighter to the queen's hips. A familiar desire was welling up within her and she could feel it in Amphitrite too. And, unlike last night, Penny found herself far more willing to go with it, wherever it may lead…

"Amphitrite~" she groaned softly before a gasp escaped her as the queen's hands slide down to her ass and squeezed.

"Mommy," the queen lightly chided, adding a quick spank to Penny's bubbly rear.

Penny mewled at the hit, her body heating up in response to Amphitrite's touch as her hands came up and started to fondle the queen's braless chest through her thin blouse.

"Naughty," she quipped playfully, only to yelp as she got another, harder spank even as the queen grinned at her.

"So? I've been around a long time my dear, and trust me when I say, being prime and proper can get so dull after enough years. At some point, you stop caring for all that pump and show even if you have to play a face in court and in public," she said, her hands eagerly massaging Penny's backside.

"And getting handsy with your daughter?" Penny asked.

"Goddess and don't care. You love it and you know it, or did your hands find my tits by accident?" the queen instantly shot back, arching her back and pushing her chest further into Penny's skilled hands. "Now, enough talk. I've been waiting for this since last night," she added with a bit of a growl to her voice.

"But what about daddy waiting for us back at the house?" Penny asked, if only for the sake of asking since she didn't want to stop either.

"Why do you think I made him wait at the house?" the queen returned, a grin on her face as she leaned close enough that her lips were practically touching Penny's own. "He knows I wanted some mother-daughter bonding time."

Penny felt her warmth growing into burning need as she heard that. The desire in Amphitrite's eyes mixed with the love was a serious turn on for her. The fact that her father knew and could either imagine it or was discreetly watching through the waters just a foot away from them turned her on more.

"Mommy~" she said in a low moan, her need getting desperate as her loins wept with arousal.

The next thing she knew, her lips were captured in Amphitrite's. It was rough and searching, the goddess' hands slipping under Penny's skirt and using her fingers to push the panties in between her cheeks. Penny moaned again as she opened her mouth, her tongue quickly meeting the queen's in an ardent duel of passion.

She moaned harder as she felt fingers digging into her panties and rubbing her core from the back, a curious finger or two also ghosting around her backdoor as well. Not one to be outdone, Penny snapped her right hand down and then up into Amphitrite's skirt, easily finding her wet panties and needy folds beneath. The queen gave a loud, happy moan as Penny worked her magic, her fingers slipping under the panties and inserting one finger into the goddess' tight snatch.

Amphitrite suddenly broke the kiss, both panting with golden flushes as she growled, "Lay on the floor."

"Yes mommy," Penny whimpered back, sliding to her knees and then slowly falling onto the soft grass, her skirt riding up to show her lacy red panties stuck to her cunt.

Amphitrite moaned at the sight before she stepped over Penny and laid herself down, her pink, thong-clad crotch in the vixen's face. She felt Amphitrite grabbed her panties and quickly slipping them down—or up in this case—her legs before carelessly throwing them aside.

"Mommy, those were new," she whined even as her hands busied themselves pulling Amphitrite's thong aside and directly rubbing her folds.

"And I'll take you shopping for more later," the queen replied before Penny felt a hot tongue get dragged over her cunt making her moan.

Forgoing words, Penny practically ripped Amphitrite's thong off before she grabbed her ass and hauled her down. A moan of delight escaped her as she tasted the queen for the first time—and most definitely not the last—vaguely reminding the vixen of sea-salt candy and the taste that was simply so female. She swirled her tongue within the tight folds, parting them to reveal the pink within as she explored to her heart's content.

Amphitrite wasn't far behind, her tongue and lips eagerly working on Penny's cunt, frequently sucking on her clit making the vixen moan as her back arched. A loud mewl then escaped her as she felt a finger pushing into her ass, the digit wiggling and curling as it tested the tight, clenching hole.

'Two can play that game,' Penny mentally growled as she mercilessly drove two wet fingers into Amphitrite's pert arsehole, getting a cry of pleasure from the queen. Luckily, the queen did not yet know that grabbing one of Penny's thumping tails near the bases were six critical pleasure points. She'd be undone in moments if the queen figured it out though, so she had to keep her off balance with her own pleasure.

Both goddesses redoubled their efforts on the other, eating out and finger-fucking their arseholes until Penny felt the familiar building of pressure at her crotch. She latched onto Amphitrite's peaking pearl as she added a third finger to her ass, wanting to bring the queen over the edge first.

It seemed that Amphitrite had similar plans as the queen got messier in her pussy-eating, two fingers sawing in and out of Penny's ass as both got higher and higher. The vixen could hear the waters next to them boiling in response, their bodies shaking with mounting pressure until Penny drove her long, dexterous tongue into Amphitrite's depths, curling the organ right against the special little spot.

Amphitrite gave a muffled scream of pleasure as she came on Penny's face, pussy juice squirting onto the vixen's face. Sensing the pleasure and a stronger suck from the queen as she felt a third finger get added to her ass quickly sent the vixen following over the peak. She screamed into Amphitrite's quivering pussy as she arched her back and came, her six tails thunderously pounding against the forest floor and kicking up a gust as she orgasmed.

She wasn't sure how long it lasted other than that it was amazing.

Both panted as Amphitrite slowly got up off Penny, both moaning as their fingers slipped out of each other's ass. The vixen slowly sat up as the queen sat next to her before their faced crashed together. They kissed as much as they took turns licking the wetness of each other's faces until there was nothing left.

"Gods, I could get used to this," Amphitrite said with a pleased little sigh as she traded small kisses with Penny.

"Me too," she answered with a giggle before both started to get up.

"Come on, there's still half a trail to walk and then I'll take you on that shopping trip I promised," the queen said, again taking Penny's hand so the two would stay side by side.

"Will daddy come?" she asked to which Amphitrite shot her a knowing grin.

"Of course. A king should always help his little princess look her best, and what better way then for you to model for him?" the queen shot back.

Penny shivered in delight and anticipation, her perverted mind already going through all kinds of little outfits she could show off.

Emphasis on little.

Getting another knowing look, the queen started walking, tugging Penny along. Neither so much as glanced at the panties they left behind…

"They're trying to kill me; I just know it."

Poseidon was panting, sweat trailing off his brow as he looked down at his crotch. The face of Ralea, one of the Naiads watching over the property and personally chosen by Amphitrite to be here, was dazed and flushed. Her mouth was open as far as it could go, Poseidon's cock stuffed up to the balls in her willing mouth as she gurgled and moaned around him, her ocean blue eyes somewhat glazed over.

Poor dear had just gotten the face-fucking of a decade, her stomach full of divine cum as Poseidon used her as his living cocksleeve while he watched his wife and daughter. He'd thought that moment when he'd gotten an eye full of their ass and panties as they went upstairs had been most of what he could expect, only, his minx of a wife had far more planned.

And yet, she purposely made sure Penny's crotch was aimed at the forest, hiding one of the best views in the house. That got a grumble out of him, having wanted to see almost enough to make him teleport there and get the firsthand view. He knew she certainly wouldn't have minded, and by this point, any guilt he'd felt about his attraction to his once mortal son turned immortal daughter had mostly vanished, by Amphitrite's words funnily enough.

If anything, his regret was her change didn't happen under her complete free choice and troubling circumstances.

He'd be damned if he let her be put into such a position again. But that was neither here nor there at the moment. Right now, he needed to calm himself and probably clean up.

"And she had to toss away those panties too. I liked the red," he mused as he pulled himself out of the Naiad's throat and sat back.

The water nymph moaned as she then proceeded to lick him clean, his hand coming down to rest on her head and pet her for her wonderful service getting a mewl of delight. He smirked down at her but knew he probably wouldn't have time to take her before his girls got back. And he very much considered them his girls, especially Penny, until she decided who she wanted to take her to bed and make her a woman.

While it mattered for the prophecy, he also understood it would be a precious moment for his daughter, something that would be irreversible for her. Even if he knew and fully allowed her to date as she pleased—not that he had much authority in such a thing anyways—he'd be keeping a close eye on any goddess dating her. He really couldn't see any god earning her honestly, which was only a mild concern off his back, but he knew goddesses could be just as troublesome.

Even after the prophecy is carried through, this papa leviathan was keeping an eye over his jewel of the sea. Her safety and happiness were his main concern after all. And if a happy Penny was a bouncy, flirty and affectionate little vixen, all the more reason for him to keep her like that…

And done! You guys (and ladies I assume) have no idea how excited I am for the next chapter and just about everything that follows. The more Penny develops in her sexual tastes, the more varietry and scenerios I can write for her.

Plus, I have much feels planned too, so be on the look out for those!

The Proud!
