A/N: Boy finally another chapter I had an idea before starting this story. Although the more I thought about it, the more I realized is this a good idea? Will this be interesting as a chapter? I don't know, maybe someone will like and if not...I've got other chapters.
I guess we'll see, I think some of my better chapters will be later. I don't want to spoil them, but I'm excited for them. I mean I could do them on, but I'm following a list of arbitrary rules and if I don't follow them than what does that say about our society? Anyway here's a chapter about Cupid or a Cupid. Also Dino767 asked if I could update my list of chapters that I don't need ideas for. The one I gave at the beginning of chapter 2? I guess a reminder wouldn't hurt, I also added of some more gals to list since I had ideas for their chapters in the near future.
Here's the updated list minus ones I've done: Cursed Sword, Dark Angel, Dark Matter, Dark Priest, Demon, Devil, Devil Bug, Dhampir, Doppelganger, Echidna, Gargoyle, Gazer, Genie, Ghost, Ghoul, Giant Ant, Glacies, Greenworm, Gremlin, Hellhound, High Orc, Hinezumi, Holstaur, Ice Queen, Jinko, Jubjub, Kamaitachi, Kejourou, Kobold, Kunoichi, Lesser Succubus, Living Armor, Living Doll, Mershark, Minotaur, Mothman, Mummy, Nightmare, Orge, Oomukade, Orc, Papillion, Phantom, Pharaoh, Raiju, Red Oni, Sandworm, Siren, Succubus, Trumpart, Vampire, Weresheep, and Werewolf. Hopefully I won't have to update until like another 30 chapters or so.
Chapter 35
Eros Day, a holiday where every man and woman spend all day in a sweet and loving embrace. Everyone except me. I'm Todd Coulter and I'm spending another year of Eros Day alone. But that's fine, I don't need a woman to make me happy. In fact, I don't need any woman to make me happy, I don't care if I spend the rest of my life alone...
Oh who am I kidding, I'm alone and miserable. And all these happy couples around me aren't helping, but I'm not going to ruin there day just because I'm miserable. Still it'd be nice to have one Eros Day or any day for that matter without being alone.
I mean take that couple on that bench over there. So happy to be together, I wish have someone like that. Suddenly I felt something whizz above my head and the couple both got hit by arrows. The arrows disappeared right after they hit the couple. Now the were just sitting on the bench together minding their own business, but as soon as they got hit by the arrows they couldn't keep their hands off each other.
And another couple got hit by arrows, and another, and another. What sort of maniac is going around shooting people with arrows? Suddenly a woman jumped down from the tree that I was standing next to. She was tall, with caramel tan skin, and long pink hair tied into a long single braid. She also wore what looked like a purple bra and panties, with long pink boots and gloves and a pink beret. But I think what drew my attention the most was the fact she was carrying a bow and a quiver of arrows.
She looked at the couples who were hit by arrows and pulled out a note pad with a pen attached to it. She took the pen and started crossing off names on her note pad.
"Um, excuse me." I said tapping her shoulder.
She spun around quickly notching an arrow back.
"Whoa calm down!" I shouted holding my hands up.
"Who are you?" she asked in a firm commanding voice.
"My is Todd! Todd Coulter, please whatever you do don't kill me!" I pleaded.
She removed her arrow from her string and looked at her note pad.
"I don't see a Todd Coulter, but I see a Greg and a Denise Coulter on here." she said.
"Oh they're my parents. They've been married for almost twenty-five years now." I said.
"Hmm, says here they're getting lead arrows." she said.
"I'm sorry I don't know what that means." I said.
"The lead arrows will close they're hearts off to each other, thus ending they're relationship." she said.
"Wait, you're going to break up my parents!" I exclaimed.
"Well, when you put like that it sounds like a bad thing." she said.
"Yeah, it is! You can't break up my parents!" I shouted.
"Why not?" she asked.
"Because they're in love with each other. Didn't I mention that they've been married for twenty-five years?" I asked.
"That's not what my list says." she said.
"To hell with your list! Here I'll prove to you that they're fine and you don't have to do anything." I said pulling my phone out.
I called my parents and a few short moments my mom picked up.
"Hello? Todd is that you?" she asked.
"Hi mom I'm just calling to check on you. How are you?" I asked.
"Good sweetie, we're doing fine." she said.
"That's great, say you and dad doing anything for Eros Day?" I asked.
"Well...about that. This is probably not the best time to bring up, but I think your father and I are thinking about getting a divorce." she said.
"Wait what!?" I exclaimed.
"Yeah after you and your sister left the house we started to realize how unhappy we were with each other." she said.
"But...but you can't get divorce, I mean think about Alex. How would she feel about this?" I asked.
"Your sister is doing fine and I don't think us getting a divorce will affect her much." she said.
"You're really set on getting a divorce?" I asked.
"We've been talking about for a while now, but we haven't had much incentive to do so." she said.
"Somehow I get the feeling that'll be decided after tonight." I said.
"I just want you to know that it's not your fault. This was a decision that we made, I hope you understand." she said.
"I'll...I'll try." I said.
"Okay, I have to go. I hope you have a good day." she said.
"Okay." I said hanging up the phone.
"See, I'm not wrong." the woman said.
"Don't rub it in, this is shaping up to be the worst Eros Day ever." I said sitting down on a nearby bench.
"If it makes you feel any better your sister is also on my list." she said.
"I hope you're not planning to break her up with anyone." I said.
"No, actually I going to have her fall in love with someone." she said.
"I'm glad she's finding love, especially after she became a Succubus. But I highly doubt she'll have much trouble." I said.
"You seem depressed? Why is that?" she asked.
"I assume that my name isn't on your list, so you probably know that I'm alone for Eros Day." I explained.
"Why?" she asked.
"Look lady...what's your name?" I asked.
"Valentina." she answered.
"Well, Valentina. I don't feel like I have to tell you my life story." I said.
"How odd, you humans are always so strange to me." she said.
"I find it strange that you're going around hitting people with arrows." I said.
"You must not know of what I am. I am a Cupid a servant of the goddess Eros. It's our job to bring couples together." she explained.
"Yeah, and what about my parents?" I asked.
"Sometimes with sever relationships when there's no more love in them and thus they seek the love of ours." she explained.
"Hm, is that so? I guess people shouldn't be together if they don't want too." I said.
"I don't enjoy breaking people up, but that's the way of things." she said sitting down next to me.
"Let me ask you something, I'm guessing because you have my sister's name on your list that your god doesn't have a problem with Mamono." I said.
"Of course not, Eros feels that all should have a chance at love. Even the Mamonos." she said.
"What about sex, is sex okay?" I asked.
"Yes sex is fine as long as it's preformed consensually and out of love." she said.
"If your god is so great then am I alone?" I asked.
"Unsure, perhaps you're never meant to find love." she said.
"Gee, thanks." I said.
"You seem unhappy, is there a way that I can change that?" she asked.
"Hee, yeah. Going on a date with me." I said sarcastically.
"A date? Ah, it's that thing couples like to go on. Very well, you shall take me on this date." she said standing up.
"Wait, I was kidding. Why would you want to date me?" I asked.
"You asked me right, besides I'm curious about what you humans do when you're in a relationship." she answered.
"I uh...I guess we can. If you really want too." I said.
"I do, now where are we going for our date?" she asked.
"I didn't think you'd say yes. Feeling a little ambushed here...ah, we can see about getting a table at a restaurant." I said.
"Very well let's go." she said.
We went to the nearest restaurant and I was a little concerned about getting a table, what with it being Eros Day and all.
"Greetings, how may we help you?" the maître ď asked.
"Table for two." I said hesitantly.
"I'm sorry sir we're all booked at the moment and...one moment please," she said picking up the nearby phone. "You're in luck a couple just canceled their reservation."
Well that was stupidly convenient. The maître ď lead us to a table and we waited for our waiter. As we wait I decided to engage with small talk.
"So have you been doing this making people fall in love thing for awhile?" I asked.
"Yeah, I've been doing it for awhile." she said.
"Do you enjoy it?" I asked.
"It has it's moment, although it's such an odd thing seeing you humans in love." she said.
"How so?" I asked.
"Although I serve Eros, I don't have a understanding of love." she said.
"You work for a goddess of love and you don't know what love is?" I questioned chuckling.
"Well, I should clarify. I know what love is, but I've never experienced love." she said.
She turned to a couple that was sitting near us. The guy seemed nervous while the woman seemed bored with everything. Valentina notched a couple of arrows and fired them into the couple. Suddenly the guy got out of his chair kneeled down on one knee and purposed to the woman, the woman happily accepted.
"Wow, you're a ppretty good shot, do you ever miss?" I asked.
"I never miss." she said.
After dinner, we walked around for a bit. Valentina occasionally shooting people with arrows. It's still weird that she's firing arrows into people, but I guess it was okay as long as she wasn't hurting anyone. Then a woman ran up to me, it was my sister Alex.
Alex had recently become a Succubus which wasn't uncommon for women to be monsterized, but now a days it's more voluntary rather than forced. Anyway Alex ran up to me while Isolda was shooting people.
"Hey bro, how are you doing?" she asked.
"I'm pretty good, how are you?" I asked.
"Good, although I guess I'll be spending Eros Day alone, unlike you." she said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Isn't that your girlfriend? The one with the bow and wings?" she asked.
"Valentina? I'm not sure what she is to me." I said.
"Oh, so not your girlfriend? Too bad, she's kinda hot. You should really think about snagging her up before someone else does." she said.
"She doesn't seem that interested in me." I said.
"She's must see something in you if she hanging out with you." she said.
"Hey, that's uncalled for!" I snapped.
"Hey better than being alone." she said.
Suddenly, a young man ran up to us. He was holding something in his hands.
"Excuse me miss, you dropped this." he said handing what looked like a wallet to Alex.
"My wallet, thanks for finding it. I didn't know I lost it." she said taking the wallet.
A couple arrows hit them, I had forgotten that Valentina had my sister on her list.
"Um, thank you for getting my wallet back. I'm Alex." she said with a bit more of a sultry tone.
"I'm Eric, say I know this is sudden but...if you're not busy at the moment I like to take you somewhere." he said.
"Oh, like where?" she asked leaning closer to him.
"Where do you want to go?" he asked leaning closer to her.
"I could think of some place we can go." she said a sultry grin forming on her face.
Alex and the guy she met walked off together. Great, my parents are getting a divorce and my sister is getting laid. Why is it that even though I'm on a date with someone I feel really alone.
"This has been a most productive day. What's next?" Valentina asked.
"*sigh* I guess we can watch the fireworks display." I said.
"Fireworks? Oh, they're those loud colorful things. I've never seen those before. Yes, I would like to see that." she said.
We came to bench on a scenic lookout at the top of the hill. We sat down and waited for the fireworks to start.
"Thank you for this date. It was most enjoyable." Valentina said.
"Glad one of us enjoyed it." I mumbled.
"I apologize if I was preoccupied with my work." she said.
"It's fine, honestly it's nice to have someone with today." I said.
I noticed that her quiver was almost empty save for a few of those lead arrows and a single gold arrow.
"Hey do you know you have a single gold arrow left?" I asked.
"Yes, I do." she said taking the arrow from her quiver.
"Those are the ones that make people fall in love right?" I asked.
"That's right." she said.
"Don't you need two of them? Did you miss one?" I asked.
"I told you didn't I? I don't miss." she said.
The fireworks went off and Valentina placed the arrow in my hand. She gripped my hand tightly and thrusted the arrow inside her. I released my hold on the arrow and scooted back on the beach.
"Valentina, what did you do?" I asked.
"Cupids aren't great at expressing love. I saved one so that I could use it on myself so I can no what love is." she said.
"Seems a bit extreme." I said.
"Perhaps, but you wanted a mate didn't you?" she asked.
"Yeah, but I didn't think you'd go this far." I said.
"Would it make you feel better if I kissed you? I always wanted to try kissing." she said.
As the fireworks went off, Valentina leaned forward puckering her lips and closing her eyes. I leaned forward still reeling from everything that happened. I placed my hands on her face and kissed her. Her lips were soft and moist, I could taste a distinct flavor of...what is that? Cherry? Chocolate? Whatever it was it tasted good.
We finished our kiss and I saw Valentina's cheeks become a shade of crimson.
"That was...pleasant." she murmured.
"If that's your way of saying you liked it, than you're welcome." I said.
"I liked it a lot. But I want to try something else with you." she said.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Well...are you familiar with the act of love making?" she asked.
I was taken back a bit, she was asking me to have sex with her. I mean, I'll do it. But it seemed weird to hear her say it.
"Yeah, I know how to do that." I said with a small smile.
Later, Valentina and I moved to a hotel. Which again was really convenient given the holiday and everything. So we're on the bed together making out, my hands freely exploring her body. Her skin was warm and smooth, as were her wings. The silky softness of her feathers were driving me wild.
I removed her top and massaged her breasts. She moaned as I kneaded the supple flesh. I sucked on her nipples stimulating her even further, once her nipples were nice and hard I proceeded to remove her bottoms. I gazed at the soft, squishy slit as it was leaking it's fluids.
I stroked both outer lips and she quivered as my fingers touched them. I replaced my fingers with my tongue. As soon as it made contact with her womanhood she moaned loudly, her toes curled, and she gripped the lining of the bed. I circled her vaginal lips before plunging my tongue inside her.
"Is this how humans express love? This feels so good!" Valentina moaned.
"If you think that's good, just wait for this next part." I said.
I removed my clothes to reveal my erect penis. I laid on top of her and penetrated her vagina with my penis. She hissed a little as I penetrated her. As soon she was in less pain, I slowly thrusted inside her. Valentina grabbed me and wrapped her legs around my waist to bring me deeper inside of her. So deep in fact, that I could feel my tip kiss her womb.
I kept thrusting and I felt sweat pouring off my body. Valentina moved hands from my back to my face and kissed me. She wormed her tongue into my mouth, I entangled my tongue around her's. I felt such pleasure like I never have before. I flipped us over and she rode on top of me. Our hands entwined together and Valentina gave me a loving smile.
"Valentina, I love you." I said.
"I do too, I'm so happy that I met you." she said.
I felt a great deal of pressure building in my crotch. I moved faster and faster, I felt a warm liquid leaking out of Valentina. I gave a few good thrusts and released my thick load inside of her. Valentina cried out in ecstasy and flooded my crotch with a mix of our cum. Valentina collapsed on top of me sweating and panting heavily.
"So...this is what love feels like?" she asked.
"Yeah, to some extent." I answered.
"Is it possible for us to keep making love? I don't think I have fully grasp it yet." she said.
I knew she just wanted more sex, but I was more than happy to give her more. After about three hours of love making, my balls felt empty but I couldn't care less. As for Valentina she seemed happy with herself.
"I hope I didn't get you in trouble with your boss, by side tracking you." I said.
"Eros has no time limit for us to finish. In fact, we are never finished. I do need to return to my sister as soon as possible." she said.
"You have a sister?" I asked.
"Yes, and I must return to her." she said.
"I guess this is goodbye." I said sadly.
"For now, but I...I wish to continue our relationship. If you want." she said shyly.
"Of course." I said with a smile.
She nodded and walked off. I never really liked Eros Day, but I think it's not as bad as I thought.
