Snowflakes
It was already evening when my car pulled into the location where Cupid’s shoot was underway.

A crowd of fans pressed against the barriers ahead, yelling his name, waving signs, desperate for autographs and a glimpse of him.
I drove past the chaos toward the secured entrance and slowed when a security guard flagged me down.
He approached the window, peered inside, and the moment he recognized me, a warm smile broke across his face.
“Please come in, ma’am.”
I eased the car forward, parked in the designated area, and stepped out. For reasons I couldn’t quite name, the instant I emerged, a strange hush descended.
The fans who had been screaming and jostling suddenly went quiet for one heart–stopping second. Then the whispers started, rippling through the crowd like wind over water.
I didn’t linger. I walked straight toward the set just in time to see Cupid descending from the raised platform where he’d been posing under blinding lights.
One of his team members immediately offered him a bottle of water, but he brushed it aside without a glance, reaching instead for the one Desmond held out.
Then he turned, and saw me.
He froze mid–motion. I stopped too, rooted in place, unsure what to expect.
This was his turf, his workplace, and we were surrounded by eyes. We’d shared open hugs and casual touches in public over the past few weeks, but this felt different, charged, exposed.
As if reading my uncertainty, Cupid crossed the distance between us in long, purposeful strides. He lifted both hands to cup my face gently, thumbs brushing my skin.
“You had no trouble finding the place?” he asked, voice low and tender. His green eyes pulled me under, drowning out everything

I shook my head. “It wasn’t hard.”
He smiled that small, private smile only I ever saw and rubbed his thumb softly along my cheekbone before leaning in to kiss me. Slow. Tender. Right there in front of everyone. When he drew back, he searched my eyes again, as though checking for cracks.
“Let me sign out for today,” he murmured. “Desmond will take you to my private suite so we can have some privacy.”
He pressed one more light kiss to my lips, then signaled Desmond over with a quick tilt of his head.
I watched Cupid stride toward the production table to wrap things up while Desmond approached me.
He was about to guide me away when a woman stepped out from the side entrance and offered a polished smile.
I recognized her instantly. Catherine, Cupid’s manager and his older sister. The same one he’d once told me made his life a living

hell when he first arrived at Godlike Pack.
“My goodness, look who we have here. Hi,” she said brightly, extending her hand. My gaze flicked to it for a beat before I took it with a measured smile of my own..
“I’m Catherine.”
“I know,” I replied softly, releasing her hand. She fell into step beside me as Desmond led the way.
“Why are you here?” she asked, still kind but curious.
I nodded toward the direction Cupid had disappeared.
“I came to see Cupid.”
“Oh, the rogue?” She rolled her eyes dramatically. “To be honest, I don’t know why a posh lady like you would want him. Take away his beauty, his dominance, and his money, he’s nothing to write home about…”
