Love Is All Around

Light filtered through the gaps and tiny holes of the blackout curtains. The two groaned in unison, turning their bodies away from the light as if they had become vampires. 

After Coral explained the Love Matriarch's curse, Eros finally understood why she had always been so meticulous in not calling out his name. But it also revealed that her love for him ran much deeper than a superficial crush. To make up for the stolen moment, the two had initially agreed to please each other. However, despite the pheromone cocktail being no longer in the air, they ended up spending all night being intimate. 

Now, as the new day crept up on the couple, they refused to move their tired and love-bitten bodies. Instead, they enjoyed a tender moment together. Eros gently tickled her skin with the tip of his wing. Coral chuckled, looking at him with dreamy eyes. 

Suddenly, she bolted upright.
