“Kyria? Why not miss or despinis?” she asked Alexandros as they walked on the deck, inspecting the damaged railings.

“Because, he is a smart man, and he knows you’re not an available despinis.” Taking her hand in his, he smiled at her as they descended the stairs. “Stop analyzing every little word, koukla mou. It’s the book that you need to concern yourself with.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“It means we are each authors of our own books or artists of our own frescoes. Concern yourself with the emotions the painting on the wall invokes, not just a single brush stroke.” He shrugged his shoulders in a typically Greek way and flashed a wicked smile.

She couldn’t help but return the gesture, and formed her lips into a playful smirk. “I didn’t know you had such a poetic way of expressing your thoughts.”

Alexandros released her hand and pressed his lips against her ear. A glimmer of mischief in his eyes as he kept her waiting for a response.

“There are many things about me you don’t know, and you need to learn,” he whispered, entwining his fingers in her hair and bringing his mouth down on hers. His heated lips applied pressure, his tongue skimmed over her teeth, and then he delved deliciously deeper. A small moan escaped her.

“When we arrived for summer holidays with my family, we always spent the first two or three days in Athens. While we were younger, Mom and Dad did the tourist things with us. We’d start with the changing of the guard at the Syntagma.”

Alexandros pointed to the Parliament building, the Syntagma, on their left as she spoke.

“My brothers and I liked to have ice cream at the Zapeion in the National Gardens next. We’d linger there for the afternoon in the shade of those massive trees and search the grounds for archeological treasures. We’d end the afternoons at the modern Olympic Stadium for a jog around the track. Usually jetlag would win by then and we’d go back to the hotel.

“The second day we were up hours before our parents and were ready to trek up to the Acropolis. We’d spend the morning asking thousands of questions about the construction of the Parthenon and the amazing ability to haul all that marble to the top without the help of modern technology. The same questions each year. By the afternoon, my parents
