She grinned shyly and headed to her car.

Before they got there, though, Lance sighed and pulled Tempest next to a tree and cupped her face. He leaned down so that their foreheads touched, eyes looking straight into Tempest's. There was something he was itching to do, and he would rather the somewhat privacy of the park than the camp.

Tempest gazed at him, eyes wide, but happy and expectant.

He leaned in until their lips were a hairsbreadth apart, still hesitant since he had no idea if Tempest was okay with it.

Tempest rolled her eyes. "Just kiss me, idiot," she breathed.

He smiled and captured her lips with his.

Tempest reached up, hands diving into his hair, pulling him closer.

His hands moved from her face to her waist, pulling her against him as he deepened the kiss.

She gripped his hair harder, standing on tiptoes.

He groaned against her lips, savoring the taste of her and the feel of her hands in his hair.

Tempest licked his lip, asking for access. She had no idea what she was doing, standing here kissing a goat. But she didn't care.

(that just sounds so weird)

He parted his lips, letting her in as he gripped her waist. While he may be immune to her siren charm… she certainly had him under her spell thanks to her natural charm.

(Right?)

Tempest finally pulled away as her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and swore. "What, Aquarius, you big baby?" She muttered.

Lance accidentally let a whine slip as she pulled back, but said nothing further as she mentioned her brother.

Tempest sent him a small, knowing smirk, then answered the phone.
"How the fuck did you manage to convince the Three to join us?"
"The Three?" She asked, puzzled.
"The Primordials!"
Tempest rolled her eyes, though she knew he couldn't see her. "Long story. You're welcome, by the way."

Lance could hear the conversation perfectly, and smothered an amused smile at Aquarius's opening line.

(Sorry, I had to go to a stupid performance of my siblings.)

Aquarius sighed. "Thank you, sis. We might stand a fighting chance now."

(It's okay!)

Lance nodded his agreement, still silently listening. He didn't want Aquarius to know he was there with Tempest.

"Is there anything else, or did you just call me to ask my how I did it?" Tempest asked.
"Oh," Aquarius said. "Also, you and Lover Boy need to get back right now. Poseidon is staging an attack."

"Gods dammit," Lance muttered, stepping away and running his fingers through his hair as he cursed Poseidon.

"And you didn't tell me this right away… why?"
"BECAUSE YOU GOT PRIMORDIALS TO FIGHT FOR US!" Her brother took a deep breath. "Also, Hera is super docile around them."

"And I bet Aurae is picking a fight with them as we speak?" Lance inquired. "Also, has Dolos, Apate, Hypnos, Thanatos, Nyx, and Nemesis arrived yet?"

"Yes, they have, all except Apate," Aquarius said. "And Aurae and the female Primordial are fighting. The Primordial is winning, though."
