My mom is a slut.
What do you expect of the Goddess of "Love" anyway? Granted, she's pretty hot for a woman her age, but, really - how about a few standards there, lady? (And if I told you exactly how old that is, she'd have my head on a platter. Yes. THAT head.) But no. Instead, she's more than willing to fuck anything with a Y chromosome. No wonder Vulcan left her for one of Vesta's ex-devotees. At least with a former temple virgin, he had a chance to go where no man had gone before. Or was that come where no man ha... whatever.
Nice job, Mom.
But she's not why I'm here.
Well, OK. She IS why I'm here. If it wasn't for Mom's insecurities, I would never have met Psyche in the first place.
I'm sure you've heard about at least a few of my mother's escapades. Just ask any of the other Immortals. They'll tell you that when it comes to her beauty and sex appeal, Venus doesn't have issues - she has a fucking subscription. Mere rumors of mortal competition are enough to drive her to acts of vengeful jealousy. Since she also happens to be the Goddess of Beauty, Mom usually takes care of these things herself by afflicting the poor girl with a nasty case of acne or cellulite, but I guess she felt that Psyche could still pose a threat despite those things. She wasn't willing to take that chance, so my dearest mother asked me to do her dirty work for her.
I take it that you're at least familiar with my MO? All it takes is a nick with one of my darts and BINGO! Instant amorous addiction. We're not talking love here. It's all about lust. Ah, let me switch to Greek for a moment. They call me Eros. It's the root of the word "erotic." My darts kick off the process. The romantic stuff may or may not follow. You don't believe that I still used arrows, do you? How archaic. Think tranquilizer rifle, instead. I like to roll with the times. I can make you wetter, hotter, harder... we have the technology.
Anyway, Mom asked me to snipe her competition and set her up to fall for the ugliest and most despicable man on earth. I told her that I would try to squeeze her in between my scheduled hits and she finally dropped the subject. I finally got a chance a few days later. I was in her area anyway, so I thought I'd get it over with. I quickly homed in on her and positioned myself for the shot, running through a list of suitably unappealing paramours. I was torn between Donald Trump and William Shatner, but all thoughts of bad comb-overs and toupees vanished when I got a good look at my target through my scope.
Psyche was the most gorgeous creature I had ever had the pleasure of almost shooting. Tall and slender, with just enough padding in the right places to soften the edges... High, firm breasts that bounced just enough to let you know that they were indeed real... Mahogany hair which spilled in thick waves down her back to brush the luscious curves of her ass... Skin like fresh cream spilled over pale amber...
The woman was Sex, personified.
And you guessed it. I just couldn't go through with it.
That would have to wait until after I had fucked her in ways that only an Immortal could.
I knew that Mom would be pissed when she learned that I hadn't followed through with her order, but hey, she's not the only one around here who needs to get laid every once in a while. Can I help it if I'm a little more discriminating than she is? Fuck. Even Bacchus is pickier and he's blind drunk 99.9% of the time.
My only chance of dodging Mom would be to persuade Psyche to sneak away with me as soon as possible. Lucky for me, that wasn't as tough as I thought it would be.
It seemed that she and my mother had a lot more in common than just unearthly beauty.
Psyche was a high-end call girl.
Yes, my love-of-the-moment was paid by the hour, or so my sources assured me. So I booked her as soon as she had an opening and that was still almost a week away. Between the premiums for short notice service and special requests, this was the most I'd ever spent on a woman, in any context. Fortunately, while she preferred cash, she also accepted the Olympian Express Card. In addition to my number and expiration date, I provided her with a time, place and a list of the things I'd be requiring of her for the session.
I was set.
So why didn't I "just use the darts?" I'm not personally responsible for making everyone on the face of the earth fall in love, you know. I just make you people horny. For the most part, love takes care of itself. The darts are reserved for those who are meant for epic romances. We're talking "'Til Death Do Us Part" kind of stuff and I wasn't looking for commitment. All I really wanted was a decent lay. Besides, it would have eliminated what little challenge still remained in the situation and if I, Cupid, the God of Desire, wasn't able to seduce a woman, albeit a prostitute, it was time for me to retire.
I spent the next five days constantly thinking about Psyche. I resumed my hunts, but my heart (no pun intended) wasn't it. I found myself fantasizing about what she would feel like beneath me instead of focusing on my work. Was she a screamer or a gasper? A moaner? Pink or brown nipples? Shaved or trimmed?
I botched at least half a dozen hits over the first two days. Most were harmless misses, but in one instance, instead of hitting a 19 year old Mormon missionary, my dart sank into the thigh of a tiny little old lady who was out walking her pair of Yorkshire terriers. So he won't be falling head-over-heels for the 39 year old cougar in the next house he was to visit and instead, he will be pursued by a geriatric great grandmother who will be trading in her Yorkies for bloodhounds in order to track down the sexually inexperienced man-boy of her dreams.
It's a problem I've been working on for centuries now. It used to be that anyone I hit would immediately lust for the next person they saw -- sex, race and bubonic plague bedamned. I eventually got the hang of imprinting individual darts with certain impressions, customizing them to work more effectively on their intended targets. Regardless, when one goes awry and hits an unsuspecting victim, the dart reverts to its original nature.
The kid doesn't have too much to worry about. That old woman has only half a dozen years left, max and if he's lucky, senility will set in soon and she'll forget who the fuck he is.
So yeah, I was pretty much worthless on the job. I decided, why bother? I only had a few more days until she was mine. Work could wait. Instead, I dug out my camera and followed Psyche around snapping shots of her incredible ass... and amazing tits... terrific legs.
Stalking? I was NOT. Immortals are supposed to watch humans, remember? You're always begging for our attentions. And you dare to complain when we humor you? You might want to reconsider your assessment.
Surveillance. There you go. Much better.
