Cupid's Shot

AN: I know that Valentine's Day has come and gone. But I didn't manage to finish this till now. Enjoy!

Cupid's Shot

"I got dumped before Valentine's Day!" Anta growled through the phone. I sighed internally as I moved my way through the air. Looking for someone to fill out the quota for the end of the day. It had been a productive day but I still had an arrow left.

Meaning that I still had someone to give the gift of love. Although, by today's standards the type of love that I was peddling might be considered not kosher. Because let's face it, I, Cupid God of love, was making mortals fall completely in love with someone not always entirely up to their own free will!

"CUPID! Are you listening to me right now?" Anta asked. She was the Goddess of mutual love, and although it seemed that we should probably hate one another. I love my little sister dearly. Plus she just got dumped by her boyfriend, a nymph.

"Completely listening, you're upset because Eose dumped you before Valentine's Day!" I quickly responded, all the while scanning the ground for a mortal to shoot with an arrow of love.

"That is simply a regurgitation of my words. Ugh! When are you done with work? I thought you had already suckered a few helpless mortals into finding their one

TRUE

love!" She snorted through the phone.

Yep, she did not always approve of my job. But it was my job, and I would be doing it to the best of my abilities. Whether she approved of the forced matches or not, this is where mutual love had gotten her. Complaining to me over the phone, about a nymph that I could shoot in a heartbeat and point him towards Anta, and they'd be happy as a bug in a rug.

"Dear sister, I simply provide people with instant results," I laughed. But then I paused looking downwards. Catching sight of a woman that was standing outside just outside of a parking garage looking down at her phone. She was gorgeous, her long black hair shone in the sunlight like onyx. Looking around, I flew in a little closer to her, of course, unnoticed to her as I was invisible.

"Can you believe that?!" Anta said.

"Mm," I hummed in response. More focused on the woman that was shaking in...anger. She was looking down at her phone, her lovely face contorted in rage. Oh she would be a perfect target, I would give her a spontaneous new love.

But-

glancing around the empty early morning parking garage I wondered just who exactly this woman was going to see.

Well you know not my problem, I had a heart broken sister to attend to. I just needed to get this over and done with. Holding the phone between my ear and shoulder. I grabbed my bow, and notched an arrow in it. Easily lining it up with the woman that I was facing.

She let out another growl, before she pocketed the phone in the back of her blue scrubs. At the same moment, I let the arrow fly, it struck her in the chest. Her body recoiled a little bit at the hit, but then the golden arrow melted away into her chest.

'Success!'

"DAMMIT CUPID LISTEN TO ME!" My sister's voice hammered through the line. I jumped involuntarily, my head smacked the top of the parking garage.

'Fuck!'

The phone slipped out of my grasp, my head was throbbing as I plummeted towards the floor. At the same time this happened, I let my invisibility slip, all while landing right in front of the woman that I had shot with my last arrow!

We made eye contact as I fell and I knew that I had royally fucked this one up!

Ten Minutes Earlier...

"Alexandra you heading out?" Kate asked.

"Yeah, I've got to get ready for Valentine's Day," I said. Collecting my bag, I slung it over my shoulder. Giving her a wave as I left the locker room.

"Don't have too much fun!" She called. I shook my head, as I pulled my phone out of my pocket. My eyes lit up when I saw that my cute little kitten had messaged me. Sliding the phone screen up, I click on his name reading over the message.

Humming to myself and I press the elevator button to the parking garage. But it was then that I saw the message. Did this bastard think I was going to stand for this? Stepping into the open elevator, I press the button at the same time I type out a message.

By the end of the ride, I had hit send, feeling the raging annoyance building. The door dinged as I stepped forward. At the same time I got a call from my kitten. Although, he wasn't going to be my kitten for much longer.

My phone vibrated in my hand.

"What exactly do you have to say to me?"

"Listen Alexandra, I've given it a lot of thought-"

"You've given it a lot of thought? Seriously, who do you think you are breaking it off with over text, not to mention the fact that it's Valentine's day!" I snapped.

"When was I supposed to do it?! When would have been the best time to let you know?!"

"I don't know. Maybe yesterday, I had a whole plan for the evening," I growled through the phone.

There was a pause then a sigh. "I'm sorry, I really didn't think that you would be this upset. The indomitable Mistress, I didn't think you'd have a soft spot like this."

I nearly crushed the phone! Did that little bastard actually think that he was that important right now?

"If it's that much of a problem, I'll stop b-" I hit the end call button without missing a beat. If the Kitten was going to act that way then I was going to find someone else.

After five minutes of messaging, I came up with a resounding no, not a single person was available to spend the evening with me. What in the world?! It seemed like everyone had a date for Valentine's day, but me now it seemed!

"Oh well, I'l-"

Something hit my chest, I stumbled backwards, looking down I noticed a glowing arrow jutting out from my chest. But just as quickly as I had seen it. The arrow had melted away into nothingness. However, a warm feeling bubbled up in my chest.

Thud!

Looking up from my chest, I saw a gorgeous man falling out of thin air in front of me. Something in the pit of my stomach kindled as we made eye contact. Oh my! My heart started beating faster and butterflies felt like they were fluttering around.

He was beautiful, he landed in front of me. He was not dressed how I would imagine for someone that appeared out of thin air, he had a pair of black jeans, and a simple black t-shirt. His hair was wavy caramel brown, while his eyes were like a kaleidoscope of colors.

His warm sun kissed skin glowed in the morning light, I wanted him! That thought zipped through my mind faster than lightning striking! Pocketing my phone, my kitten long forgotten as I stared at this hunk in front of me.

"Are you okay?" I asked, bending down to get on his level. He flinched, but then I noticed the terror that was reflected in his eyes as he looked at me. Then it morphed into concern, I blinked watching him, I don't remember meeting him before. There shouldn't have been any reason for terror... had he hit his head when he fell?

Some part of my brain recognizes that it wasn't normal for someone to fall out of the sky like that, but I didn't care. He was so beautiful, and I wanted him, it felt like a gnawing ache in my stomach the more I looked at him.

"Did you hit your head? Should we go get it checked out?" I asked, looking away from him to see if I could call for some help.

But his hand shot out and grabbed my arm, the skin to skin contact felt like a thousand volts of electricity had been shot through my body all at once. I smiled despite myself at the contact, he was now sitting up, his face level with mine.

"No need!" He breathed out, his breath smelled like cinnamon and sugar. His lips formed a perfect bow shape as he spoke. I wanted to push him down and see if they tasted as good as he smelled. "Listen, I know this might sound crazy but... could you take me home with you?"

I blinked, almost convinced that I had misheard him.

This

? No...

my

gorgeous little angel wanted to come home with

me

? I pressed my hand over the grin that was splashed across my face. Could this be a Valentine's Day miracle?

"What do you say?" he asked, sounding as impatient as I felt. His fingers are still curled around my wrist, a subtle strength pulsing beneath his skin.

"Of course," I said breathlessly. "Do you need help standing?"

After breaking about every speed limit sign on the way to my place. I had helped my beautiful angel up into my apartment building. He was quiet the entire time, but I didn't mind. My mind was reeling, I felt like a horny teenager all over again.

My panties were ruined, but I paid it little mind. I'd have them off soon enough...

An Hour Later...

'

You really royally screwed this one up Cupid!

' I chide myself. As I watched the woman unlock her door. She hadn't let go of my hand the entire time. It wasn't entirely unpleasant to be touching her, she was a beautiful mortal. Her hair was long, a rich brown that was so dark it was nearly black. She kept it tied in a loose braid that was done to her lower back. She was dressed in scrubs, perhaps a nurse, doctor or another healer.

Her skin was a warm carmel that glowed, it seemed that she took good care of herself. Glancing back at me as she opened the door, her limpid green eyes took me in front head to toe. Just as quickly as she had looked, she looked away. Turning and stepping through the doorway, pulling me along with her. It was fascinating that she hadn't done more to me yet.

The arrows were potent, and one was enough to get two people to bed down in an instant. This woman...so far had not done either thing, much less really anything at all. It was as if she hadn't been hit by the arrow at all! But I shot her and I knew I hadn't missed, to top it all off. I happened to be the first person that she had seen...

I wanted to bang my head into a wall, this was no simple matter. It was imperative that I tried to sort this out before too long had passed, or this would put me in an odd situation. Where had I put my phone, I patted the pocket of my pants and wanted to growl when I felt nothing.

Then I remembered that I had dropped it when I had hit my head, then I realized that I had uncloaked in front of a mortal, and it all went a bit hazy after that... safe to say that I had lost the phone!

"Make yourself at home. I'll get something for your head," she said softly. She released my hand, and I frowned, surprised at the loss of contact. But this was for the best, I needed some time to think about what I should do!

I watched her take a quick assured step towards her kitchen. Following along, I move down the hallway into an open floor plan. There was a huge window that displayed the city skyline, then beneath was a park. The living room had a wall that was covered in books, with all sorts of titles. Her couch faced the opposite direction where a tv rested on a tasteful display that had small trinkets in them.

She had a small table that was placed near her kitchen that looked like something out of a chef's dream kitchen. It had hanging racks for pots and pans. The countertop was covered in other kitchen gadgets, as well.

There was another hallway that had three doors, one of each side of the hallway and one at the back. My curiosity was getting the better of me as I wondered just what was in those three rooms. Before I could make my way there, I felt a light touch on my arm. Turning I found the mortal woman standing there her magnetic green eyes were watching me with curiosity, lust and something else.

She held up an ice pack. "Here why do we take a look at the bump you must have on your head, An-" She paused, looking slightly mortified.

"What were you going to say?" I found myself asking, against my better judgment.

Looking a bit bashful she bit her lip and then blew out a breath. Her lush lips turned into a slight pout that was quite attractive.

"I've been calling you Angel in my head," she admitted as she grasped my arm.

"Angel?"

"Because you fell, quite literally, into my lap, kind of. It's like a Valentine's day miracle," she laughed airly, as she maneuvered us towards a chair. Her grip on my arm was sure, and commanding. I blinked, taking her in, comparing me to an Angel. It was actually quite endearing, I vaguely wondered if she had seen my wings or not.

"What's your name?" I asked her.

She eased me into the chair, and placed the ice pack on the table. Her eyes glinted with joy at my question, clearing her throat. She leaned over me and I came face to face with her ample breast that couldn't be completely hidden, even under her scrubs.

"Alexandra," she hummed as she parted my hair. Her fingers glided through them with practice ease and a gentleness that had me leaning into her touch. It felt rather pleasant to be treated so kindly, her fingers found nothing, not a bump or bruise.

But she continued her search for a moment longer, before clearing her throat again. Peeling an eye open I found that she was watching me intently. Her hand hadn't paused in its soft strokes, but I felt the subtle shift in the air.

"I'll admit this is forward even for me, but I just can't help it," she drew out in a soft tone. Her eyes fluttered as she spoke.

'

Ah, I had hit her with my arrow

.' I had been mentally preparing for this moment, I thought that I might turn her down. But around her I felt a sort of peace and security that I found hard to resist, the mere fact that I was leaning into her was proof enough.

"Plus it's Valentine's Day, you don't have anyone that you're supposed to spend it with do you?"

"No."

"Perfect!" She beamed. "Then if you're up for it. I was wondering if you'd like to have sex with me? I know that it's coming out of left field. I've known you for less than an hour, give or take, right?" She laughed.

She pressed her fingers into my skull a little firmer as she tilted my head back to look at her. "But let's face it, you got into a car with me, and came into my house. That means you want to as well?"

Her eyes swirled with the trace signs of magic that pulsed softly. If anything, I should be the one asking for her consent. But she also had to feel a certain level of attraction to me, to be this willing. I debated for a moment, before I answered her.

"I'd love to," I said, drawing my hand up her thigh. '

What type of God of Love would I be to reject her?

'

Her hand in my hair stilled, as she gazed down at me reading my face as she gripped my hair tighter. I could feel the thrill that raced through her, the excitement perfumed the air as she bent her head. Angling my head upwards more, I met her mouth.

Her lips were soft, but firm as they kissed me. It was sweet, but then she pressed down harder, capturing my mouth and forcing her tongue into my mouth. I stiffened but she was skilled as her tongue ran atop the roof of my mouth before allowing me some purchase in her mouth.

I shifted my hand higher on her thigh, but I felt her free hand grasp my wrist. Effectively preventing me from going any higher. Curious, I thought mildly surprised at her denial, but not opposed to letting her lead. Either way, I would get to show off my skill in the bedroom.

Pulling back from my mouth, her tongue traced my lip before she stood up. Her hand in my hair had my skull tingling a bit at her forceful touch, but it was pleasant in a way. She gazed down at me, her lips a little redder than before.

"Follow me." She said, relinquishing her hold on my hair, but capturing my hand. Pulling me upwards as she quickly pulled me towards the hallways with the three doors. My curiosity got the better of me, as we arrived at the door to the left.

Looking to the right, I got the peculiar sense that I should open it. Reaching out with my free hand, I place it on the knob. But she pulls my arm with surprising strength, I stagger and run into her chest. I was easily two heads taller than her, but she easily managed to control my body.

"That's for another time, Angel. For now just be a good boy, and follow me," she grinned as I looked down at her. Although I was curious, the entrancing mortal had a good firm hold of my attention. Plus, I had fumbled with the arrow, the least I could was to listen to her.

Obediently like a puppy, I followed her lead as she pulled me into the dark room. She flicked a light switch, bathing the room in a low light. Her room was a mixture of grey and black. Her bed was black as night, it was a king size four poster bed. There was something wrapped around the post, but I was too busy looking at the sexy Mortal, Alexandra.

She released my hand, leaving me standing at the entrance of the room, as she moved towards the closet. Throwing a look over her shoulder at me, I felt my cock stir at the sultry look she was giving me. Without saying a word, she raised her arm and pointed towards the bed.

I didn't need any more of an invitation! Without wasting a moment, I placed myself on the bed. It was firm and comfortable. Once, I was sitting on the bed. Alexnadra gave me a beaming smile. "Good boy."

Something in the pit of my stomach warmed at her words. Then she was opening the closet, which was far bigger than it first appeared, stepping into it. She shut the door behind her, with her gone from the room, I slipped the t-shirt over my head and folded it. Before I placed it down onto the nightstand that was empty minus a simple lamp that was off.

I hadn't worn shoes, looking down at my jeans. I debated on if I should unbutton them or leave them as is? '

Would she want to take them off herself or would she want to jump straight into it?

'

The thought of her lips wrapped around my cock had it pressing stiffly into the zipper of the jeans. Clicking my tongue, I undid the top button, allowing it to have some room to extend. The boxers were already showing a wet spot as I leaked pre-cum.

"Adorable," Alexandra breathed out. Looking up, I felt my mouth go dry. She had changed from her scrubs and was wearing a black lingerie set that highlighted all of her beauty. Her breasts were full and perky as the sheer black lace covered them, it was opened where her nipples were. They were standing at attention.

The lingerie wrapped around her stomach and connected to a set of panties that were open where her pussy was. It was completely silken. My cock twitched as I saw the wetness that glistened along them in the lowlight.

Her lips were pulled into a devilish smile as her long hair cascading around her shoulders. She crossed the distance between us in short but quick strides, as she pressed her hand to my chest. I swallowed as her body pressed closer to mine, her breasts were right in front of my eyes. Her nipples demanded that I touch them.

Before I could stop myself, I leaned forward and captured one in my mouth. She gasped, before she pressed her breast into my mouth. One of my hands wrapped around the other nipple that was free, then I wrapped my free hand around her thigh.

"Such a good boy, but first we've got to lay some ground rules," she hummed softly. Her hand had snaked its way into my hair at some point, without much effort she pulled my head back. My tongue flicked out to stroke her peddled nipples once more.

Looking up at her face, I could see the steady pulse of magic in her eyes, but there was something else entirely a lust that swallowed me up! I could feel it emanating from her, it was wreaking havoc on my own self control.

"I'm going to have fun with you, puppy! Your safe word is going to be Valentines, if it gets too much for you just say it and I'll stop," she purred, stroking her free hand over my cheek as she pressed a leg forward into my crotch.

"Do you understand?"

"Yes," I found myself saying excitedly by this change. Without preamble, she smiles, and steps back breaking the connection of our body but still firmly holding my hair.
