Chapter Six

THE MORNING AFTER Q left, Psyche woke up with a hole in her heart she’d never experienced before. She was used to waking up without him, but this was not a normal day. She knew he wasn’t coming back. Tonight, he wouldn’t come into their bedroom, take her in his arms and love the world away.

No. She would be alone, and she couldn’t stand it. So far, he hadn’t returned her text messages, and she needed a plan.

She spent the next few days trying to get Pierce to reach out to Q, but he didn’t seem to be having any more luck than she was. There were no hints as to his whereabouts on social channels, but she refused to give up.

As intimidating as it was she knew she was going to have to reach out to Q’s family.

“Pierce, I need you to get word to Q’s mother. Tell her I can’t find him, and that I need to speak with her.”

Pierce raised an eyebrow, but agreed. “Yes, Madame. Right away.”

After she got dressed, she spent the next few hours pacing the floor, waiting for word from Q’s mother.

Finally, Pierce came back and said, “I have spoken with her, and Venus has requested you be teleported to her domain. The invitation is for one hour from now.”

Something inside her stomach turned over. Venus?

Then it made sense. Of course. Q was short for Cupid, and he would be a stunningly handsome man because his mother was the goddess of love. The most beautiful woman in all creation. Was that why he hadn’t wanted her to see him? He hadn’t wanted her to know he was a god?

It didn’t make much sense.

Her mind shifted to Venus. Having her for a mother-in-law was extremely intimidating.

But Psyche told herself Venus would want her son to be happy. That was something all mothers wanted for their children, wasn’t it? Perhaps she could get Aphrodite’s assistance in locating Q and maybe she could help him understand her side of things.

In the meantime, she went back to her dressing room to make sure her makeup was applied as professionally as possible. After all she would be meeting the goddess of love and beauty—her mother-in-law—a time when you really wanted to look your best. Pleased with her appearance, she walked back downstairs and told Pierce she was ready.

“Stand over here, Madame, and I shall send you off.”

Only the very wealthy were equipped for teleporting and Psyche had only done it a few times before. The trips were slightly bumpy, and it was always a little unnerving when you arrived in a location completely different from where you were only moments prior. In the past it had given her a little motion sickness. She prayed that wouldn’t happen this time.

“Wish me luck, Pierce.”

“Good luck, Madame. Have a nice trip.”

With a boom and a flash, Psyche was moving, and it felt like she was traveling through a black hole, being vacuumed into space.

A moment later she stood in a
