Artemis

I have lost my mind once again. It seems a growing pattern over the last few days but I can’t seem to fight it. Once the stress of the program I’ve been slaving over for months was finished I suddenly realized how tired I am. When Rhea called me about Blue being attacked I knew that there was no way I could keep her here much longer. She is in constant danger and I can’t stand it. This time was too close. That man could have killed her if Bryant and Dane hadn’t intervened.

Normally I would be angry that they allowed that man to break into my house at all, but the fact they saved Blue has sated my anger…for now.

Once the x-rays are done, we are escorted back to her room by the nurse who smiles too much. What the hell is he so happy about? And why does he keep looking at my wife like he’s interested in her? Doesn’t he see the brand-new ring she’s wearing?

We finally reach the room and once again the guy moves to help Blue, but I step in before he can put a finger on her. I kn

    BlueArtemis and I try our best to leave the hospital without getting spotted, but a few people stayed long enough to get a shot of us as we leave. I pulled the sleeves of my sweatshirt over my hands to hide my ring and made sure the mark on my neck couldn’t be seen. Hopefully no one finds out what happened to me tonight other than someone breaking into our house. Although if I have to testify about the assault it’s only a matter of time before everyone will find out. The police had made sure to take photos of me and my injuries after I had changed into the hospital gown. I also agreed to a pelvic exam just in case I black out during anything else. Thank god that was clear. Artemis and I are taking his personal car to the airport now since I was discharged already. He still won’t confess to where he’s taking me, but he keeps calling it a honeymoon which is sort of cute. A honeymoon isn’t something I would think he would like. It sounds…romantic. Even that word sounds weird to me. Tr

    BlueWarm, sweet smelling air hits me as I step out of the plane. “Where are we?” I ask Artemis. He’s already on the ground and looks up at the sound of my voice. “Fiji.” He says simply. A man dressed in an all-black suit walks over to Artemis and they start talking, but I don’t pay any attention to them. I can’t keep my eyes fixed on one thing at all. There are palm trees everywhere and the air smells like flowers and the ocean. Nothing I have ever seen or smelled could compare to this place. I can’t believe Artemis flew us to freaking Fiji! Wait, how did he do that if I don’t have a passport? I quickly look around us for police or FBI waiting to take us into custody for leaving the country without proper papers. Will they send us to jail? Foster care and being homeless in some sketchy places is one thing, but jail…I’m not sure I would handle that well. Although, they give you three meals a day and a bed to sleep on, so there’s that. “Blue? What are you waiting for? The car i

    BlueOur driver takes us the entrance of a resort hotel where we are greeted by several employees. A couple rush over to grab our bags while the rest greet us with sweet smiles. They are beautiful, and so kind to us as we enter the main building. The hotel is so amazing, but I don’t have a chance to see it all before Artemis takes my hand and starts to lead me through a side door. Everything is a blur of people as we are directed to the beach area where we’ll be able to access our suite. “Everything was prepared according to your directions Mr. Rhodes.” Artemis doesn’t say anything to the woman, but she is too sweet to be bothered by his gruffness. “Thank you so much for this wonderful welcome. This place is beautiful.” I decide to say. “You are a very special guest Mrs. Rhodes. We are happy to make your trip one to remember.” One of the women waiting for us says. “If you follow me, we can show you to your suite.” Artemis stands off to the side looking down at his phone while I g

    ArtemisMy mind goes into overload from Blue’s words. Of course because I’m a man I start to feel hot all over and a certain part of my body is immediately interested, but another part of me is fighting all that. The reminder staring right back at me, that Blue is still hurt. She was attacked by a man and now is not the time for me to take advantage of her. Not that I would be since she is suggesting this, but I am also sure she will regret it if I agreed to spending the night with her. I don’t want our first time to be something she regrets. I need to think about her, and that means making my intentions clear. This thing between us isn’t a hookup or occasional fun, she’s my wife now. Even if she doesn’t see it yet, she means something to me. More than anyone ever has, and I may not be able to say the words out loud but I can show it. Starting right now. “Artemis? You look like you’re having a stroke over there.” She says with a nervous laugh. Slowly I notice her face shift from pl

    ArtemisI have never stayed in bed this long and even though I’m itching to get up and do something productive I haven’t made any attempts at moving. Blue fell back to sleep a little while ago and has since wrapped herself around me like an octopus. One of her legs is thrown over min and her arms are bothe wrapped around my waist. I’ve stayed completely still trying not to wake her but any time she shifts I have to move my bottom half away so she doesn’t feel what’s going on down there. My dick has been at attention for too long and it’s starting to get more uncomfortable the more she shifts her hips against me. I’ve been trying to be a gentleman about all this but my body has other plans when the woman I’m falling for is all over me. She smells amazing too. Like tropical fruit and something flowery that I don’t recognize. It must be from the shampoo the hotel provided. The other stuff she uses smells a lot like what myself sister uses, but this is a lot better. I’ll have to pay the

    BlueAre they all that size? There is no way. I’m a tiny woman and that is a beast. Nope! This is a mistake! “You okay there?” Artemis asks sounding annoyingly amused. “Yep.” My voice sounds like I’ve been sucking helium out of a balloon. “Why do you look freaked out?” He asks crossing his arms over his chest. Now his arm muscles are flexed tight and his freaking dick is pointing straight at me! I’m mean what the hell? Who just stands there butt ass naked and asks dumb questions? “I’m not!” I say with scoff. “I’m analyzing the hardware.”Why did I just say that?“Oh. Well take your time then.” He rest his hands on his hips and just stands there like a nude model. I don’t think I can look at him any more. My whole body is getting tingly and my panties are starting to get wet. Not a very welcomed sensation. To my surprise he stands there for a while so that I can admire him. “Oh my god would you stop standing there like a smug bastard and do this thing?” I yell at him. He laughs

    ArtemisA dam has broken. All the pent-up frustration I’ve been feeling and some I hadn’t realized was festering for months comes roaring out of me. I wanted to be careful with Blue because this is her first time but I’m a man possessed, and she just gave me the green light to let go. Something she will probably regret later when the excitement is over. I’m too far gone to care and ready to finish when reality settles in for a second. “Blue?” I stop moving so that I can get her attention which works because she opens her eyes the second I stop moving. “Yeah?” Shit…her breathy voice is making it harder for me to keep a clear head. “I forgot to put on a condom. I’m guessing you aren’t on birth control.” “No. I never got around to that before now.” Shit. How could I be this dumb? I didn’t pack any because I didn’t expect her to want this yet. Rookie mistake. “Shit.” I start to pull out because we can’t do this without protection. “Wait.” She says before locking in place with her l

    BlueAfter I found Artemis outside on the phone I was expecting him to tell me that he would have to leave and deal with something for work. It wouldn’t have surprised me at all, and I wouldn’t want to keep him away if they really needed him. I’ve learned a lot more about coding thanks to him and it makes sense why it can be time consuming and drive you a little crazy when things don’t go your way. Don’t get me wrong, I would hold it over his head for a long time for sleeping with me and then ditching me. So, imagine my surprise when he ends the call and carries me off to bed again. I let him have his way with me one more time before I couldn’t take any more. It felt amazing but my lady bits were sore and making it hard to enjoy anything by the end. Spoil sport! Still getting to see a naked Artemis was worth the pain. I passed out again after the second round and didn’t wake up again until late afternoon. When I wake up I decide a good soak in the bath was in order. It didn’t matter

    BlueWhat is going on? Here I was expecting some yelling or fighting but got hysterical laughter instead. Are they all high? Well, probably not Iris, but she looks a little confused as well. Same girl, same. “What is so funny?” I yell. They all slowly calm down and it’s Rhea who speaks next. “Blue, I know that this may seem strange, but we’re happy.” Say what now?“What do you mean? You guys would be getting nothing!” I remind them as if it weren’t clear. “We know and that’s the great part. Honestly, it’s a relief. That money is tainted with bad memories for us. It’s a burden, but to someone who’s as kindhearted as you it could be a huge blessing. You’ve come from having so little to having enough money for a hundred lifetimes. You could do anything! We are happy to let that money go and let you decide what to do with it. Once the funeral is over we can finally let that time of our lives die too. It’s the last tie to what our family name used to

    ArtemisThis week has been hell. My grandfather and parents did not want to leave this world without one last special, and I’m hating every second of dealing with it. Still for my sisters it means closure even though our relationship with them was strained. Then there’s the whole matter of the will. Honestly, I don’t want to know what my grandfather has left me to deal with. If what’s happened in the last few months are only a piece of what I have to face then I’m going to hate the rest even more. My sisters are happy to let me handle it since they don’t want a thing from my father or grandfather. As much as they feel a sense of loss, they also feel relief. The last die-hard Rhodes are gone and we can all move on. My charity work with blue has been a lot more rewarding than any of the other work I’ve done, and seeing her smile is all the payment I need. Fuck. I haven’t been able to spend much time with her thanks to all this, but as soon as it’s over I am taking the fi

    BlueI make it back to the bookstore just as Dane comes in searching for me. “Everything okay?” He asks looking me over for injuries. “Yeah, they didn’t have what I was looking for and I even asked an employee to look, and it took forever just for her to tell me they didn’t have the book. Crazy right?” I laugh weakly and hope he doesn’t notice my discomfort in lying.He doesn’t ask anything, so I guess I did okay, but as we drive home my anxiety hits an all time high. How am I going to look at Artemis and his sisters knowing what I know and not say anything. These people have been rich all their lives and even though they are individually wealthy do they expect more now that their grandfather and parents are dead? I can only imagine the amount of money those three died with and now it’s coming my way. There is so much anxiety and pressure waring inside me that when we get home I rush through the front door and to the nearest bathroom to throw up. No one seems

    BlueI need to find a way to get out of here without anyone asking questions. Also, that means leaving the babies and Lilly which I’m not sure anyone will be willing to do with everything else going on, but I need to go to this meeting. There’s no time to debate logistics, so I head back to the living room where I see the Rhodes siblings still discussing something. Artemis’s eyes lift when I walk into the room, and he gives me a confused look. Maybe he sees something in my face that has alarm bells going up, so I try to smile and act like nothing is going on. “I’m sorry but something came up at my office, I need to run in and handle it. Can I leave the kids with you?” I ask him. “Of course. Is everything okay?” He asks standing and stepping around the couch to walk in my direction. I don’t really want him touching me right now. It feels fake now. After what I heard it has me overthinking still and I don’t have time to dig deeper into all those feelings right now.

    BlueThe door opens behind me, and Artemis walks inside with Iris next to him. His sisters are on their feet in an instant and rushing over to wrap their little sister in their arms. The three of them start to cry while Artemis stands off to the side watching them. His forehead is creased, and his jaw is tight like he isn’t sure what to do but also like he’s worried. So, I walk over to him and slip my hand in his. “You okay?” I whisper. He sighs. “I’m glad she’s okay.” That’s enough for me. This is all so fresh, so it makes sense that none of them know what to say or do next. “What can I do to help?” I ask him. “We need to wait for the lawyer to the estate contacts us. They will let us know our grandfather’s and parent’s wishes for burial and memorial services. Then we go from there. After the funeral there will be the reading of the will, and we’ll all know where we stand in this family.” He grinds his teeth at that last part. I may not know much a

    BlueAfter Artemis leaves, I stand in the hallway and try to figure out the best way to go about this. Rhea is torn up over the news and I want to be there for her, but what can I do? I don’t want to just sit back and have them handle everything while they work through everything emotionally. It’s no secret, things were strained between all of them but that was still Artemis’s parents and that has to be hard for him. Before I can come up with a plan one of the babies starts crying. All of them have a different cry and this one is Eros. I walk into the nursery and pick him up right away. His head turns to my boob as soon as he’s in my arms. Before I take him out to feed, I check on Selene and Damion, but they are still asleep.Those two sleep like the dead when they want to except apparently at night when the smallest sound has them wide awake. In the end all of them end up in bed with me and Artemis to finish off the night. Not that either of us care much, we love cuddling u

    ArtemisI hadn’t heard from my grandfather in several weeks and I’m wondering when he will send Iris to us. I’m willing to fly to wherever they are and pick her up myself but any attempts at contacting my grandfather have gone unanswered. That is until Rhea comes stumbling into the house looking as if she’s seen a ghost. “Artemis…” It sounds like saying that much was too much effort. “What?” “Rhea? What’s wrong?” Blue rushes over to my sister and helps her to sit down on the closest chair. “Rhea, what’s going on?” “Just look.” My sister hands her phone to Blue, but I can hear the audio. 'Another tragedy involving the famous Rhodes family. Unfortunately, this accident resulted in the death of three members including the Patriarch of the family, his son and his daughter-in-law. The following information may be upsetting for some. The police and rescue crew discovered the pilot a mile away and the members of the family different distances from the crash. Ou

    ArtemisSeeing Blue juggle, the children’s home and motherhood is like watching a bee buzzing around a hive. She has been going non-stop and is trying so hard to make up for the time she lost not being there to help. I know she thinks that she will let someone down if she isn’t giving one hundred percent of herself in everything she does, but I can see her burning out. At night she’s been crashing as soon as her head hits the pillow, but she’s up any time the triplets need to be changed or fed. I try to help as best I can, but she always tells me to sleep, and she will handle things. Only she doesn’t realize that she sleeps through a few of the nightly cries, and I make sure nothing wakes her. Now that she will let the babies in the nursery, I turn off the monitor while I’m in there and switch to getting alerts on my phone. That way she can sleep, and I’ll still be able to hear the babies. She needs the rest. Since the babies came, I’ve been in full dad duty. Not that

    BlueThe first few weeks home with the triplets is chaos. Lilly is such a sweet girl and even though she needs a lot of help with things she hasn’t complained once having to share our time. Artemis has made everything so much easier by just being here and helping wherever it’s needed. He was joking about the personal chief either. I mean when does he ever not mean these things? I should know that by now. He also did have a whole medical room set up in the house. There are plans to expand the house even more thanks to all the plans he has. Athena found a house down the street from us and has been so happy with her decision to adopt. She’s an amazing mother and it’s been great having her so close by.
