My heart stopped I was positive.

“Sure of what?”

“Kilyn.”

Oh. Shit.

“I know with Savannah you were trying to prove a point with her not being Greek. I won’t lie and say I’m a bit disappointed you’re not with a Greek girl.”

“Mama, can we talk about this tomorrow?” Thano pleaded.

“No. I need to know if you are with her for the right reasons. I actually like this girl. She’s funny and you can see she has a love for life. Now don’t get me wrong, I adored Savannah. She grew on me after a while, but this Kilyn O’Kelly. There is something about her that I like.”

My hand covered my chest as I felt it tightening.

“Mama, she’s here right now.”

Closing my eyes, I shook my head and cursed under my breath. Just when I had the Greek mom on my side he goes off and blows it!

Katerina’s voice quivered before she attempted to lower her voice. “Wh-what? Kilyn’s here?”

“Yes. She’s in my room.”

“Oh, dear. So that wasn’t you . . . oh . . . I need to sit down.”

“Let me go get her.”

What! No! No! No! Don’t go get me! Are you insane?

Spinning around, I scanned the room. Where could I possibly hide? Frantically running around the room, I spied a pair of Thano’s sweatpants. I started to put them on when I heard Thano talking again.

My head snapped over to the door when I heard it open. I lost my balance, causing me to stumble and run smack into the dresser hitting my head straight on.

“Kilyn! What in the hell are you doing? Are you okay?”

Thano rushed over to me as I rubbed my head and moaned. “I hit my head.”

Kissing my forehead, he chuckled. “What were you doing?”

“Trying to put your sweats on and then I panicked because I knew you were going to come get me and I hadn’t gotten all the way dressed.”

He placed his hand on the side of my face as I leaned into it. His smile somehow calmed my nerves instantly.

Helping me up, Thano reached down and tied the strings on his sweatpants.

With a sexy-as-sin smile, he said, “You sure look adorable in my clothes.”

Feeling my cheeks heat, I looked down. Thano placed his finger on my chin and lifted my eyes to meet his. “Oh, ladybug, how I love you.”

My hands came up to his forearms were I balanced my shaking legs. Smiling, I replied, “I love you.”

He motioned with his head for us to head out to the living room. Somehow, I knew as long as I had Thano by my side, there wasn’t anything I couldn’t face.

The moment we stepped out into the living room I braced for one very angry mother to call me an Irish leprechaun-loving whore.

What happened next surprised the hell out of me.

Katerina smiled a big bright smile and clasped her chest. “Oh, thank God he wasn’t masturbating!”

TWO MONTHS LATER

Pulling the glass dish out of the oven, I smiled.

“That smells so good!” Claire said as she clapped her hands and did a little hop.

I set the glass dish on top of the stove and stared at my creation.

Galaktoboureko.

My heart quickly began to beat faster. “What if I forgot to add something? Does it look like it’s supposed to look? Oh, God!”

Claire laughed and pushed me, causing me to stumble slightly. “When did you start becoming such a freak?”

Turning to look at her, I blew the piece of hair that was hanging over my eyes. “Since Thano’s mother welcomed me into their very Greek family! Sometimes, I feel so out of place.”

“Nonsense, I’m sure they love you, Kilyn.”

With a shrug, I jumped up and sat on the stool . . . staring at the Greek dessert I had made for dinner tonight over at Thano’s parents’ house.

“We’ve only been officially dating for two months so I don’t think we can say they love me. They tolerate me is more like it. And that’s only because of Thano. I swear, if his grandmother tells me I could stand to lose a few more pounds as she is pushing food at me I may scream.”

With a chuckle, she replied, “It’s worth it though right?”

My body warmed as I thought about Thano. “So very worth it. The sex is beyond amazing.”

Claire giggled. “I was thinking more along the lines of he makes you happy, you’ve finally found your happily ever after, you know, something sappy.”

My heart squeezed in my chest as I let out a very dramatic sigh. “Thano always tells me I pulled him out of the darkness. He has no idea how much he did the same with me. I honestly never believed I’d find someone I wanted to fully open my heart to.”

“I see the way he looks at you. It makes my heart happy.”

Looking down, I closed my eyes. “Sometimes I feel like I’m dreaming. It’s all happened so fast, and I try so hard not to overthink things, but sometimes I wonder if I deserve his love.”
