After centuries of pining away for a
love never realized, Therin's last assignment as a Cupid depends on helping the
lonely, shy Lucy Carlton. The mission's success or failure will determine where
he is transferred. He can study the heavens or be condemned to
hell.
Lucy Carlton spent her life
searching the stars for answers, but finds them in the form of a gorgeous man
who comes in her dreams. Therin shows her the joys of physical pleasure and
encourages her to try to find love. She wakes with a new found confidence, but
soon her timid nature takes over and she retreats back to the comfort of her
home…alone.
With only a week to decide his fate,
Therin breaks every rule. What starts as a job to save himself, becomes a love
that can never be…except maybe in eternity
********* EXCERPT *********
"What makes her so special?" He
snatched the crystal away and peered inside.
He sat back, clearing his mind to
allow the vision to take over. A woman lay on an unimpressive bed in an equally
bland bedroom.
She appeared to be sleeping, but
squirmed restlessly. In the few moments he observed, she twisted and writhed as
if trying to find a comfortable position. He couldn’t make out much of her. A
think blanket covered her body and she turned her face into her pillow much as
he had done earlier.
He was ready to throw the crystal
into oblivion, but she thrashed about once more, this time turning over and the
covering fell off.
Instead of tossing the crystal, he
held it closer.
The naked human's body rivaled any
of the immortals, even those of the goddesses. Luscious but lithe, she was a
bounty one could spend hours exploring. Her long brown hair tumbled down, almost
hitting the floor, and her face dainty, sweet, could have been on a
sculpture.
"I see no problem here." Any human
or immortal would be pleased to have what was presented to him. His breath
hitched as his body stirred. It had been far too long since he
indulged.
"Those on earth don't have the same
reaction to her you do. She's an outcast and needs you." Horatio moved
closer.
"Go on." He didn't take his focus
off the image.
"She needs love, but it eludes her.
Wants desire, but can't attain it." Horatio's voice became low, scholarly. "She
craves satisfaction, but is left wanting."
Therin glanced at him. "What do you
mean?"
"You need no explanation. Your
mission is clear." Horatio stood. "You have a week to help her. If you are as
good as you claim, it's all you will need. Upon your success you will be given
your new assignment."
"Wait." He looked up. After eons of
demanding to be set free from his position, the gods were smiling upon
him.
He peered into the crystal once
more. The woman's disturbed sleep continued, misery radiating from
her.
"Either way, this is your last job.
Your passion is gone and you have broken the rules too many times. It's your
choice where you go." Horatio stopped. "She is dreaming now, the timing is
perfect."
He clutched the crystal in his fist.
Eternal damnation or eternal salvation. As was their way, he would go to her
while she slept. She would think he was part of her dreams…or in his case,
nightmares. "Horatio."
The old man took a breath. "Don't
fall in love, remember what you truly are."
"I'm a Facilitator." He tilted his
head.
Horatio shook his head. "A new title
doesn’t change what you are."
Therin stood. "I'm a
Cupid."
