Frustration was wearing his nerves thin. No matter what he said to Val, no matter how he tried to say it, everything freaked her out. He couldn’t comprehend it, and maybe that was part of the problem.

The woman had, after all, written a plea to Cupid asking for help. That showed that she at least had an inkling that there were things out there that science couldn’t define. Some things not of this world, things greater than she could see. But now that it was here, staring her in the face, poor Val was having a hard time accepting it.

A large part of him felt sorry for her, sorry for the situation he’d gotten them both into. Another part, though, felt giddy and joyous knowing that, although it was an accident, he was now in love with Valentine. And soon, whether she wanted to admit it or not, she’d be in love with him.

Gideon hadn’t known how things would work out. He’d gone to Eros two days ago, admitting his already well-known transgression and seeking his leader’s advice. It had worried him that Eros hadn’t had that much advice to give. Seems that no other Cupid—ever—had shot himself with an arrow in the midst of an assignment.

This was new territory, for him, for Val, for the god of love.

Not really the way he’d planned on starting his career, but he could deal with it. He had no choice. That arrow had changed his life’s course, had changed Val’s, and now all they could do was work with what they had.

He wanted a beer. It was an urge that was totally unexpected and slightly scary. Gideon had never tasted alcoholic beverages; he’d never had the urge to try one. Sitting in the back of Trinity’s, with Val in the rest room and nothing to do but listen to the voices around him, the thirst for a beer was so strong that it was like a physical ache in his chest.

Sort of like the ache he’d had for Val ever since he’d seen her three nights ago.

Gideon went to the bar and ordered a beer, then drank half of it leaning against the counter. Cold, refreshing. It went down quite well, and he took the bottle back to the booth with him. Now he knew why humans drank so much of it.

Back to Val…and that ache. Since the first moment he’d laid eyes on her, he’d wanted to touch her, kiss her. Her hair was a long fall of black down across her shoulders almost to her waist. Her eyes, the prettiest, clearest blue he’d ever seen, showed so much of her feelings and emotions each time he looked into them.

And her lips were to die for. He’d gladly give up, well, something, to taste those lips with his own. If nothing else came of this night, if nothing else got settled, he promised himself that he’d at least get one sip of what she tasted like.

Sensing movement beside him, he turned to see her slide back into the booth.
