Cupids Daughter

Prologue

***Cupid Above***

It was warm down here on earth this night. The summer solstice was truly upon us.

I had to find a mortal to sate my boredom tonight. I was forbidden to celebrate the solstice on Olympus this year. Honestly all I did was mess around a little with some mortals love life ! Zeus has to learn to lighten up a little.

I could always visit my parents this eve but that is just a lost cause. My mother was most likely with her lover Ares *shudder* and my father was probably forging weapons trying to avoid the disgrace his wife was bringing upon him.

While pondering these thoughts I came across some mortals celebrating on a beach. From the symbols I easily guessed they were Poseidon's worshipers. Oh well, my dear uncle wouldn't mind that much. They were quite rowdy and well into their cups! I spotted a beautiful young woman near the edge of the bonfire they had erected. She would be the perfect distraction for the night.

I walked silently up behind her, rested my hands on her shoulders and just as she shivered at the feeling of being touched by a God I whispered for her to follow me into the darkness behind us, away from prying eyes.

Her chestnut hair swayed against her hips as she stood before me in the pale moonlight. She was beautiful and I wanted her. Even if she wanted to resist she couldn't. The pull of a God was to much for any mortal to withstand. I took her in my arms and took my pleasure from her.

If I had known that nine months later a child would be born from our union I would have stayed far away from mortals that night.
