Psyche helps Eros but finds the paparazzi waiting-and that picture could cost her life!

Eros:

“In the picture, we’re standing so close, nearly in an embrace, and she’s looking up at me in question. And me? The look on my face can only be described as hungry. I wouldn’t have done something as foolish as to kiss Psyche in that hallway, but no one looking at our image will believe it” (Chp. 3).

​

This half finds Eros and Psyche drawn together by Aphrodite's rage, bonded in holy matrimony and entangled in mutual lust with the consummation of their honey-oooh, ahh, -moon first night.

​

Psyche:

“The idea of being seduced by Eros is almost intoxicating enough to have me throwing caution to the wind. Almost” (Chp. 16)
