You're one of Apollo's favored priestesses.

At first it was just dreams sent to you. They would help chase nightmares away, and were normally messages saved for his high priests and priestesses.

Eventually, it lead to the God of the Sun visiting you in the temple, teasing you or leading you outside to relax, or just gracing you with his presence.

It wasn't until you started getting nightmares that he would visit you at night. He was always very tired from driving his sun chariot around all day, so he would tend to slump into your bed for reasons unknown to be close. He'd hold you, lovingly caress your body while you slept, place soft kisses all over your skin.

It had become normal for the two of you.

Over time, your nightmares disappeared entirely. Until he had not visited for a week. Two.

When he finally came again he was unable to chase them away.

You awoke in the middle of the night, chest heaving. Your body is slick with sweat, but Apollo is still clinging to you in his sleep, grip never faltering. His chest was rising and falling in patterns, heartbeat steady, breaths against your neck. When he felt you stir, he nuzzled further into your neck, his grip tightened on your waist.

"My love..." He whispers, placing a lazy kiss on your pulse.
