Cupid looked down on the land-bounded Guardian. "Watch and learn couz." The god pulled back on his bow and let the arrow fly.

"Cassiopia, there's something I want to tell you." Soranus pulled of his hat and he looked up. It was then he felt something pierced his heart. A giant look of puppy love graced his features. "I've never seen anything so gorgeous before in my life. I must simply have you!"

"Soranus, we are in the woods. Behave yourself until we get home."

Soranus eyed the woman as she was crazy. "Not you!" He turned and ran towards a tree. Once there, he threw his arms around the trunk. "My darling! You're so lovely! Please tell me I make your sap run!"

Sophia could barely swallow back her laughter as she heard Soranus' words. "Cupid, I think Aphrodite met something small like a bell or a chair."

"He was the one looking at the tree." Finding this all too funny, Sophia stepped from behind the tree. "Wow," she whispered as her eyes finally came upon the couple.

Cupid landed next to his cousin. "Cute, huh?"

As far as the Guardian was concerned, cute was an understatement. Cassiopia was her height, with auburn hair and chestnut brown eyes. Along with her deep tanned skin and womanly shape, Cassiopia was nothing less than beautiful. She leaned over towards her cousin. "So who's going to be the lucky person?" When the god didn't answer, Sophia leaned over more, without taking her eyes off of Cassiopia. "Cupid? Cupid?" She went to elbow him, but instead of connecting with him, she fell over. "Doggone it!"

Hearing the outburst, Cassiopia turned and franticlly ran to the Guardian. "Please help me! Something's wrong with my husband!"

As soon as she saw the distress in the woman's eyes, guilt nipped at the Guardian's mind. "Look, he'll be all right. I can explain…"

*THUMP*

The Guardian watched in horror as lust and love danced in the chestnut orbs looking her way. *You son of a bacchae!* Sophia realized too late that she had literally fallen into Cupid's trap.

"Look at you, you big hunk of womanhood." Brazenly, Cassiopia ran her hand down Sophia's leathers. "Are you a warrior? Because we can play Warlord and Slave."
