They walked down one city street and up another. Marco had told the truth when he'd said he was new in town and he knew not a soul, but he had seen the entire city from Olympus. It was larger up close, louder, and noisier. But there was a pleasant oasis a few blocks over, a large park with trees and walkways, and privacy. Yea, that was most important. With a thought, he urged all mortals to leave the park, as he directed his steps to bring them there.

The dogwoods were flowering, and rhododendrons brought spots of color amidst the browns of early spring. Mars smiled at the pretty maid beside him. His chest hurt to breathe just gazing at her. That pretty Cupid's Bow mouth with teeth like pearls. Her eyes were luscious blueberries, framed by lush black lashes. And when her gaze lowered, those pretty lashes fanned across delicate cheeks the color of ripe peaches. She was good enough to eat, and he was fair famished!

"So what brings you to here, Marco? I mean, Georgia isn't really on anyone's list of the top ten must-see places."

"You," he breathed.

"Me? Oh, yeah. You didn't even meet me until you sat in my diner yesterday. I mean, why were you in my diner? What made you leave Greece?"

"I came from Olympus," he corrected her.

"Yeah. Why?"

"You. I came to be with you."

She shivered once. Something about this guy was starting to creep her out. Like how he'd never give her a straight answer. Were all his pretty words just another line? Maybe he was smoother than her exes, but he was cut from the same cloth.

"Right. You just up and packed your bags, and came across the ocean - by ship or by plane? Because you just knew you were going to meet a brainless bimbo in good old southern U.S of A? Give me a break."

"I shall not harm one hair on your precious head," he promised, affronted that she would expect any less of him. "I shall ne'er break thee."

"Come on, He-Man. What gives?"

" 'Tis miscommunication again, my dear heart. I do not understand the question."

She whirled around, placing her hands on his chest as though she could stop his immovable force through sheer mortal effort. "I want to know why you're here, Marco. And I want a straight answer. Why are you here!"

"To woo you, darling. I thought 'twas fair obvious."

"Me. You want me in particular, or are you just hard up for a quick lay?"

He shook his head in confusion. He was sure consistent with the ignorant immigrant facade. Maybe it wasn't an act.

"Thou art all I shall ever want, my dear one. For thee I would give up my immortality. I want to lie with thee and fill thee with my seed, and fatten thee with my babes. I want a half dozen at least, more if thou art willing. They will be mortal, like thee, but I shall cherish every moment with them. And when age takes thee from me, I shall ne'er lie with a mortal woman again.
