Yasmin pulled away from the window the instant she saw Cupid standing there arms folded, upward.

She closed the window quickly, almost guiltily Cupid lingered for another long moment before turning to Desmond.
“I didn’t know you liked the morning sun until today,” he said dryly.
Desmond shrugged, rising from the bench.
“It’s peaceful here.”
He moved to bypass Cupid and head inside, but Cupid’s voice warned from behind low, edged.
“Don’t confuse my sister.”
Desmond paused mid–step, turning slowly to meet Cupid’s eyes.
I’d seen them in countless lights, always aligned, always on the same page but this morning, for the first time, I saw Desmond poised to disagree.
“Is that what you think I’m doing?”
“I don’t care what you’re doing. Just don’t confuse her.” Cupid took a single step forward. “You’re different from her. You won’t want her. You won’t have her. So it’s better you don’t fill her head with nonsense.”
Desmond held his gaze, letting the words settle, then set his jaw and nodded once.
“Okay, boss.”
He walked inside without another word. Cupid watched him disappear, expression unreadable. After a beat, he turned and headed back in just as Marlik entered the living room, reaching for the remote to
switch on the news.
“Good morning,” I greeted him.
He glanced over, nodding.
“Morning,”
Cupid slowed in the doorway. The headline blared. Viviana’s court appearance postponed. Both men looked to me for explanation. I nodded.
“I’ll get the full details today at H.O.W.L. I have to go anyway. Mr. Mane’s been caught. It’s not our case, but Dove will be there this evening.”
Marlik paused. He turned to Cupid, and they shared a brief, knowing glance like they understood something unspoken.

“Marlik,” I said gently, “my brother told me Dad wants to have a few words with you once things settle.”
Silence fell. Marlik nodded slowly. “Sure.”
I managed a small smile.
“I should freshen up and get going. I’m going with my brother to the airport this afternoon. Pinky Pie is arriving.”
“Finally,” Cupid murmured.
I smiled at that. We headed upstairs together. In the bedroom, he closed the door behind us and circled his arms around my waist.
Softly, he leaned in to kiss my lips, slow, lingering before pulling back to search my eyes.
“I have shoots today too. How I wish we had more time together.”
I frown briefly.
“I thought you had a free day.”
He kissed me again before I could ask more, deeper this time. His fingers slid under the hem of my dress, brushing my panties aside, teasing. I broke the kiss gently.
“Cupid… I think we should slow down.”
He frowned, sitting up to look at me fully.
“Slow down… where?”
Confusion clouded his eyes. I searched his face, wondering if he’d forgotten.
“Cupid… you know what the results said, and…” I began, hoping he’d catch the hint. When he didn’t, his gaze forced me to finish. “You know we could accidentally make a baby, and I… I don’t…”
“You don’t want to,” he finished quietly.
I blinked, taken aback.
“No. Why would you think that? You know I’ve always wanted a baby. Pups.”
“Yeah,” he murmured absently, already pulling away. He stood and headed toward the closet. “I should freshen up and get going. My crazy manager will freak out if I’m late.”
My jaw nearly dropped at the sudden dismissal. Frowning, I turned fully toward him.
“Shouldn’t we talk about it?”
He didn’t respond.
“Cupid?”
