Dreams

Chapter 1



I awoke to find myself on a comfortable bed with silken red sheets. Had the villagers came and found me unconscious on the trail? I looked around to see a beautiful room that could only belong to someone extremely rich. This had to be some king‘s, queen‘s, or rich merchant‘s room. Then the most beautiful woman I had ever seen came through a door into the room. She had long, wavy brunette hair that cascaded down her back and dark red eyes that you could get lost in. “Nice to see that your finally awake. Hope you rested well. Are you hungry?”

“Umm… Now that you mention it, I am kind of hungry. How long have I been asleep?”

“Oh, a day. By the way, happy eighteenth birthday.”

“Wait… What? How do you know that it’s my birthday?”

“I know many things. I’m Artemis. It’s nice to make your acquaintance Faith.”

“You mean that you’re the goddess, Artemis!?” I really think that my jaw dropped open when she said that. How in the world did I end up in a goddess’s bedchamber?

“Yes, I am. I’m going to go get you something to eat. I’ll be back in a minute and we’ll talk.”

Artemis walked out of the room to go and retrieve something that Faith could eat. She couldn’t exactly feed the girl ambrosia and nectar, which is the food and drink of the immortals. Faith sat in Artemis’ bed somewhat shocked that a goddess had taken her.

Then Artemis came back into the room and gave Faith a platter loaded with different types of foods on it. “ I wasn’t quite sure what you liked, so I just brought you a few different things to choose from.” She sat down on the bed next to me and just watched me while I ate my fill. When I finished, I sat the platter aside on a dresser that was next to the bed, and turned toward this goddess who had stolen me away. I figured that she would tell me what this was all about now. “I hope you enjoyed what you ate. I guess it’s time for me to explain why I brought you up here.”

“I guess that it is, that is if you want to. The food was wonderful.” I started to think back to a few of the stories bards and people in the village had told about the gods and goddesses. How they never really explained what they wanted out of you, but just used you to suit their purposes.

“Well, I guess I’ll slide into this gently. I brought you up here for a few different reasons. One of those reasons is so that I can send you to back down to earth to do some errands for me. You’ll basically be my warrior princess and get to beat up all the bad guys. The second reason I brought you up here is not as easy to explain. It’d be a lot easier to show you, but I don’t want to scare you off after I finally have you. I guess that I’ll just have to try my best to explain it.”

I had been sitting there gazing into this goddess’ eyes as she told me that my dreams would be coming true. Her eyes were so easy to get lost in. It was like all my prayers had been answered, but that second reason she brought me up here. What could it be and why would it scare me off? Maybe this was my chance to prove to the goddess that I trusted her. It would be a good way to kick off a relationship with her. “Artemis, I’m sorry to interrupt. If it really would be easier for you to show me, then why don’t you just do that. I promise that you won’t scare me off.” There. I said it. Now let’s see what kind of trouble I’ve gotten myself into now.

“Hmmm… I guess I’ll show you since you promised that you wouldn’t be scared off.” I nodded my head in recognition of her statement. She got a glint in her eyes as she reached her hand up to my face and caressed it. She leaned in slowly and pressed her lips to mine. What was this?!? I’d kissed guys before, but I’d never kissed a girl before. Plus this wasn’t just any girl, this was Artemis, goddess of the hunt. I didn’t respond, and she pulled back to look at my face so she could read my expression. “Is this ok with you?” I nod in response. What in the world am I thinking? I just said she could do it again. Even though I did like it. Her lips were so soft and… Seriously, Faith… Is this what I really want?

She leans in and kisses me again, but this time I respond and kiss her back. One of her hands slides down to the small of my back, and the other wraps gently around the back of my neck. She pulls me in closer and slips her tongue into my mouth. My arms are around her holding her close to me. This doesn’t feel wrong to me. I feel safe, protected, and loved. She breaks the kiss and gazes lovingly down into my eyes. “I hope I’m not scaring you off. Why don‘t you go get a bath and I‘ll lay out some clothes for you? Then I‘ll give you your birthday presents. I think that you‘ll like them.” She pulls away from me and stands up. “The bath is through the door on the right wall.”

“Alright, thanks.” What in the world am I doing? I just kissed a goddess, but she kissed me first… I’m so confused.

I get up and go to the bathroom. It’s gorgeous. It has white marble tile, silver faucets, and a bath that could fit six people comfortably. I slide off my clothes and slip into the water that is already at the perfect temperature. I relax into the water’s warm grip. Artemis comes through the door and hangs up clothes for me to wear when I get out. She walks back out without even glancing at me. I lean my head back against the side of the huge bath. She really is beautiful. I’ve never felt this way about anyone before… The way I feel about her is so different. I know that I was never really attracted to any of the guys I was with, but I had never though about a girl in that way before. I guess it never hurts to try something new. It doesn’t hurt that I feel safe with her. Hmm.. I guess I’ll just have to see how thing go and play it by instinct. My instincts have never led me wrong before. I finish bathing and climb out of the monstrous bath. I dry off with the towel that had been laid out for me. I go over to the clothes that she had set on a bench and put on the silken white skirt with silver trimming around the bottom. I slip on my panties and put on the top, which has one strap, silver trimming around the edges, and cuts off right below by boobs. I brush my hair, run my fingers through it, and then leave the bathroom to emerge back into Artemis’ bed chamber.

She is laying on the bed in clothes like mine except they are dark red in color with the gold trimming. She sits up in the bed when I emerge. “You look very good in those clothes if I do say so myself. Oh, it’s birthday present time.” She reaches under the bed and pulls out three wrapped packages. I walk over looking at them trying to decide what else this goddess possibly had to give me. “Go ahead, open them.” I go sit on the edge of the bed and pick up the first gift. I unwrap the huge, heavy, rectangular box and lift off the lid. Inside, there is a beautiful, gigantic sword with vines climbing up the blade and a gold handled hilt. The blade shines and has a strange blue tint that I had never seen on a sword before. The sword is almost as big as I am. I look it over admiring the craftsmanship. I leave that box lying on the floor and pick up the second, smaller gift. I unwrap the long rectangular box and a white bow with golden string lays in front of me. I set that box aside and unwrap the third box. It contains wonderfully crafted arrows to go with the bow. I set all of the boxes on the floor beside the bed. I turn to Artemis and reach out and pull her into a hug. Maybe that wasn’t the smartest thing to do. Randomly hugging a goddess… She hugs me back and I breathe a thank you into her ear.

She pulls back from me and sweeps the hair out of my face. “You know that there’s one more thing that I have to give you.” She leans down and whispers seductively into my ear, “My love.” Did she just say what I thought she said? Did she just call me her love… She kisses her way down my jaw to my mouth. I kiss her passionately back, and things start to heat up quickly. What am I doing? Am I really going to go through with this? Her hand slides up my side and caresses my breast over my clothes. Her mouth trails kisses down my neck and over my collar bone. She pulls off my top and her own and then lays me gently down onto my back on the bed. She makes me feel things that I’ve never felt before. I want this, with her.

She kisses my breast and takes the rose colored nipple into her mouth and gently caresses it with her tongue, while her hand massages my other breast. She switches and gives the other the same treatment. She kisses her way to my belly button and slides her hands up under my skirt and slides down my panties. I lift up my butt to help her get them off. My breathing quickens as I watch this goddess lavishing her attention on me. Soon, the skirt follows the underwear, and I am left in all my naked glory in front of this goddess’ eyes. She sees my gaze shift away, and takes her hand and moves my head so I can look her in the eyes. “You are beautiful. You are perfection in my eyes.” She leans down and kisses me again, taking all my doubts with her. She takes off the rest of her clothes, and I can’t help but stare at her beautiful figure in front of me. She slowly slides her hand down my side and cups my pussy. “MmmMmm… You are so wet Faith.” She starts to move her hand slowly, watching my reactions to her. I start to moan as a tight knot begins to develop in my stomach. My eyes are clenched shut until she inserts a finger into me. As soon as she does, my eyes shoot back open. I’ve never… I’m a virgin. What if??? As if reading my thoughts, she reaches up and cups my cheek with her hand. “I won’t hurt you. I would never hurt you my angel.” I feel a pressure as she pushes in a little farther, with the next push I feel something tear. The pain is quickly replaced by pleasure as her quick, delicate fingers work their magic. The knot in my stomach just keeps getting tighter and tighter, and I feel like it will snap soon. My moans are getting louder, and her name is getting thrown in a lot too. She leans up and kisses me as she curls her fingers inside of me and sends me over the edge. She keeps moving her fingers slowly in and out until I come down from the high that I was on. She stops when she sees that I am back and holds me close to her. “Go to sleep now my sweet one. I’ll be back soon. I’ll be here when you wake. I have to go and talk to Father about a few things really quick.” I nod my head in acknowledgement and fall into a easy, peaceful sleep.
