Eternity
by Kim
Carmichael
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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:
"Why stars?" He retrieved the bottle and poured
her some more, staying quiet hoping she would continue to reveal bits of
herself.
"Stars are endless, they are sort of like looking at
hope."
He stared at her profile.
She let out another laugh, this one heartier than the first.
"Right there." She motioned up at the night sky.
"Where?" He leaned over.
"Right there." She put out her finger and leaned
toward him as if to show him her perspective.
He moved the basket to the side and slid over, sighing when
he finally focused on what she pointed out. "Pisces." The two fish
represented Aphrodite and Eros. A few wisps of her hair tickled his face but he
didn't move them away.
"Is she your mother?
Are the stories true?"
"Nothing is ever exactly as it seems." He repeated
his words from earlier, but appreciated the way she was fluent not only in the
stars but the mythology. "Just like Pegasus, there is more than one Cupid.
He was the just the most famous."
"Are you a God?" She kept her eyes on the night
sky.
"I am what they call an immortal. I work for the
Gods." He lowered his voice as to not scare her.
She finished off her wine. "Why is this your last
assignment? Did I break you or
something?"
He put his hand over hers. "I was broken way before you
were even born."
"
What broke you?"
"Every being has wants and needs." He paused.
"Sometimes when they go unfulfilled it's hard to keep going."
She looked at her lap. "What happens after you deal
with me?"
"It depends on how successful I am." He balled his
other hand in a fist. This was not something to put on a human.
"Do you mean how successful I am?"
From one day in her apartment he knew she was not only
intelligent, but also insightful. "Something like that."
"What happens if I don't end up with him?" She
stared into the empty glass.
"There are things only Gods know. I need to guide
you."
She shook her head. "I don't want to think of you down
in Hades."
He almost smiled. "Something like that."
"Must be frightening for you," she whispered.
"What do you mean?"
"If you are immortal then you are never really know how
or when it will end." She turned her hand over. "Infinite can be as
terrifying as finite."
