THE GIRL WHO CONQUERED LOVE – EROS / PSYCHE

Note: Eros and Psyche do not have their own book yet. They met in How I Fell For Death (Myths Finding Love #2) so that’s going to be the story this is based from.

Will they have their own story in the future? Maybe. But after How to Reform a Rake, it’s going to be Aidon and Helen of Troy’s story (How to Rewrite History). But this may still change since I have a lot of plans. Haha.

For now, pleas enjoy this story… J

February 14, 2014
Eros’ Apartment
New York City

I stretched my arms above me and looked at my reflection in the mirror. Today is a beautiful day and I wanted to look my best.

Today, I bask in the extra power that mortal devotion gave me.

Today, it’s my day.

And for the first time since the dawn of time, I am spending this day with someone special. Not someone for casual sex, not someone I want to display by my side.

Today I am spending it with her, with the person who made me understand the deeper meaning of love. All my life, I embodied love and desire. I did my job and played the field as well.

But it’s only now that I truly understand why the mortals I help crave love. Now I understand why some spend their whole lives waiting for someone special. Now I understand why those who were hurt over and over again still enter into relationships wishing that this was finally the one they’ve been searching for all along.

And it’s all because of her…

My Psyche.

When I was sure that I already looked my best, I flashed myself towards her apartment and rang the doorbell.

She came out looking the epitome of perfection.

Her hair was tied in a simple, neat ponytail. She wore a plain white T-shirt along with denim jeans and sneakers. Last night, when I asked her out, I told her to dress simply and for adventure.

Most girls would still overdo it since it’s Valentine’s Day. But her? She didn’t care about her appearance and her simplicity even added to her beauty.

My breath caught as I stared at her. She smiled and cupped my jaw.

“Close your mouth or the flies will enter,” she teased.

I shook my head and closed my mouth. “Sorry. You look beautiful.”

“Thanks.”

She grinned, showing off her dimples.

Then, she looked at me from head to toe and arched an eyebrow.

“What? No flowers or chocolates?”

I shook my head.

“I thought you were the God of Love? Shouldn’t you be the most romantic guy ever?” she teased yet again as she stepped out of her apartment and locked the door.

I laughed and took her hand. Then, I rolled my eyes.

“That’s so overrated. I have better things in store for you today.”
