Sophia's POV

I was woken up by Demetri when we were preparing to land and moved from the sleeping cabin into the center of the plane where I buckled up while the plane landed at our destination, Demetri seemed excited about wherever we were that the moment the plane had stopped he was unbuckling me and pulling me up.

"Where are we?" I asked as the human pilot opened the airlock doors, it was nearly three in the morning so I was shocked when there was a car waiting for us.

"Welcome to Athens, Greece mi amore" Demetri announced and my eyes went wide in shock looking around.

"Greece!" he nodded his head. "Oh my god" I laughed since I couldn't believe he'd actually brought me to Greece, I know he'd said he would but I didn't take him seriously, I turned back and wrapped my arms around his neck hugging him in thanks before letting go and smiling seeing he had blue contact lenses in his eyes.

"Come on" he tugged my hand towards the car where our luggage was being placed into the boot, we climbed into the back seat as there was a driver. "Nkrant Chit Athína, se parakaló" he told the driver who nodded and started driving.
(Translation: Grand Hyatt Athens, please)

It was a long 40 minute drive but I didn't mind at all as I got to witness and drive through one of the most ancient and beautiful cities in the whole world and my eyes never strayed from the window afraid I'd miss something but I couldn't help look back at Demetri seeing he was looking outside as well taking in his home.

I couldn't imagine what it'd be like especially with how modern the world had become and how much everything must be different for him, I leaned into his side more as his arm was wrapped around my shoulders and he turned towards me and smiled before kissing my forehead right as we finally pulled over and I looked out the window seeing we'd stopped at a hotel, the Grand Hyatt in Athens we got out and let the bellboys get our luggage as we went in approaching the front desk seeing the Concierge behind it.

"Kalós ílthate, échete krátisi?"
(Translation: Welcome, do you have a booking?)

"Nai, Voltoúri" Demetri replied smiling, I knew he loved speaking in his native tongue.
(Translation: Yes, Volturi)

"Nai, tous neónymfous, syncharitíria" the concierge smiled, I gave a confused look which made him look at me. "Congratulations" he said in English seemingly understanding that I couldn't understand Greek. "Here you are, the Athena Nike Suite" he held out a set of keys. "Please enjoy your stay and if there is anything we can to make it a good one, please don't hesitate to ask" his accent was still very thick that I had to listen carefully to understand him.
(Translation: Yes the honeymooners, congratulations)

"Sas efcharistó" Demetri nodded at him.
(Translation: Thank you)

"Eísai polý tycherós ántras, eínai ómorfi" the concierge smirked at him and wiggled his eyebrows.
(Translation: You're a very lucky man, she is beautiful)

"Xéro" Demetri smirked back before we headed for the elevator.
(Translation: I know)

Once on the correct floor we exited the elevator and walked to the end of the hall to the double doors that read the Athena Nike Suite, he placed the key in the door and unlocked it before suddenly sweeping me off my feet.

"Really?" I laughed as he carried me through the threshold.

"I'm old fashioned" he laughed back kicking the door shut with his foot walking further into the room before putting me down.

I looked around the room, the color theme was royal blue, black and natural wood, to my right was a large sitting area with white couches, a huge flat screen TV, next to that was an 8-seat dining room table and past that there was a the small kitchenet which had a minibar, coffee maker and a cordless phone.

When Demetri answered the door after someone knocked, no doubt a bellboy with our bags as I continued to move through the room finding the bathroom which was all black and gold tiles, a double basin sinks, a huge bath...big open shower and through a connecting door I finally came into the bedroom.

There was a huge king sized bed with white sheets and matching duvet, the headboard was blue leather and the room had it's own sitting area with a blue leather day bed which overlooked the city below...I approached the bed running my hand over the soft plush blankets just as I felt a wind blow behind me, I smiled and looked behind me seeing Demetri with our bags which he put on the ottoman at the end of the bed.

"Do you like it?" he asked.

"It's perfect" I told him and it was, I'd never stayed in a hotel this fancy since the only time I ever stayed in hotels was when I was younger and with my social worker moving to my new home.

"It's nearly morning so I can't take you out just yet seeing as it's forecasted to be sunny but we can stay here, rent a movie if you want" I shook my head since there was just one thing I wanted to do, I walked towards him and wrapped my arms around his neck before I leant up and kissed him, he kissed back wrapping his arms around my waist as he lifted me slightly off my feet so that we were level with each other.

"Are you sure about this?" he asked knowing where I was going with this, I nodded my head since there was nothing more that I wanted than to have him. "If I do anything-" I put my finger over his lips stopping him from talking himself out of it.

"It's okay, I trust you" he smiled softly brushing his thumb over my cheek before pulling my lips to meet his.

"Jump" he warned me before he lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist as he walked us towards the side of the bed and gently laid me down, he immediately started taking off my shoes dropping them on the floor before his hand ran up the length of my leg going underneath the fabric of my dress and I knew he found what lied beneath it when I heard his small growl. "Mi amore, your such a tease" I smirked at him as I reached up and started undoing the buttons of his shirt with him hastily helping before he removed it and I got to marvel at the sight of his smooth chest.

He let me gaze for a couple of seconds before I felt his hands sliding up past my legs to my waist bringing my dress up with him before I leant up and pulled it over my head leaving me lying in the lacy white lingerie and it was his turn to stare, his eyes racking over my body making me a little nervous since I didn't have the biggest breasts or curves in the world but I didn't hide from him.

You know how these things go, his pants came off...my underwear followed...his underwear...under the covers...imagination can do the rest but it was perfect and I fell in love with him so much more, it didn't matter that we weren't each other's firsts...what mattered to me is that we're gonna be each other's only from this day onwards and I finally found a partner that was willing to love me for me and actually take care of me instead of using me and that's why I loved him with my entire heart.

I must have fallen asleep afterwards because I found myself waking up, a slight painful ache in my thighs that I definitely hadn't felt in times previous but Demetri had been a little rough around the end, the duvet and sheets suffered the sheer destructive power having been shredded by his nails which he kept well away from me.

I sat up wincing a little from the pain before I swung my legs over the side looking around not spotting him anywhere, I stood up once again feeling the pain as I walked to the bathroom and had a few human minutes...also looked at my reflection frowning at the bruises and marks that covered a few spots on my skin from where he'd accidently gripped to hard...particularly my thighs and wrists but it couldve been worse, I grabbed one of the robes to cover up since I definitely didn't want Demetri to see them and feel guilty before I walked towards the seating area...no sign of him so I tried the kitchen and found a note.

Mi amore,

I've gone to hunt, I'll be back soon but if your awake I want you to order yourself some room service since I know you have to be hungry and don't worry about cost it's all taken care of already.

- Your husband

I smiled at the signature at the bottom still not used to it before I picked up the phone and dialed room service ordering a simple variety of breakfast foods before I sat down in the seating room grabbing the remote and actually flicking on the TV randomly flipping through the channels for something to watch finally settling on an old black and white movie.

It was only about ten minutes before there was a knock, I got up and answered it seeing a waiter with a wheeled tray of food and let him in watching as he put all the food down onto the dining table, I thanked him before he left then sat down and started eating since I was actually hungry having a really light dinner last night between mingling with all the guests and then the flight.

"Good girl" I jumped ten feet when I suddenly heard his voice and saw him sitting in the chair beside me.

"God, I'm putting a bell on you" I complained glaring at him as he smirked and chuckled, his eyes now a brilliant crimson having darkened quite a bit last night from the strain it took to be with me so intimately...as usual I didn't want to think about the person who'd just lost their life in order for him to eat but it was soon going to be my life so I willed myself not to be concerned about it.

"How are you feeling?" he asked me, a sudden serious look on his face.

"I feel fine" I lied since the pain in my legs was still there and probably will be for a couple of days but I wouldn't change anything about last night.

"You sure?" he asked laying his hand on my thigh and I let out an involuntary hiss as he touched one of the bruises and he snapped his hand away so fast you'd think I burnt him.

"It's okay, its just a couple of bruises" I told him to placate the sudden guilty look on his face. "I've had much worse"

"Yes but that's different, you shouldn't have bruises from my attempts to love you" he argued and I frowned reaching over grabbing his hand on the table.

"We knew I was bound to get a few bumps, it's not as worse as it couldve been and I think we did better than we both thought we would, I mean it was pleasurable for me" I quickly added the last bit since I knew he'd had to be careful and watch his strength every minute of it which couldn't be very pleasant.

"It was pleasurable for me as well mi amore" he argued squeezing my hand. "More than I've ever felt because I love you"

"I love you too" I smiled leaning over to kiss him but he turned so I kissed his cheek instead. "Don't tell me that it was a one time thing?" I asked him.

"I hope not" he replied smiling at me as he lifted my hand and kissed my knuckles. "Last night was just a little hard, I want to get used to your scent again, build up my tolerance before we can do that again" I let out a relieved sigh. "Nice choice in movie by the way" I turned to the TV seeing it was still playing the black and white movies.

"I just picked whatever looked good" I shrugged before we decided to just hang out in the room cuddled up on the couch and watching the classics and I was content to just be lying in his arms with his arm wrapped around my shoulders all day.

When night fell however Demetri ruined the piece and quiet by making me get ready since he was demanding we go out and see the city which I did want to see so it didn't take too much convincing from his part as we snuck in a few risky kisses between movies and his wandering hands.

I showered, styled my hair and applied a small amount of make-up just to brighten my features then went to my suitcase opening it, I moved a few dresses aside frowning when it was all new clothes...none of them my style, it was all really girly and sexy...a lot of lingerie as well.

"God damnit Chelsea" I groaned rolling my eyes finally just picking the tight leather jeans which took me like 5 minutes to squeeze my butt into and a black off shoulder shirt to match and avoided the stiletto heels and picked a pair of heeled boots, I don't know what she expected me to be doing that I needed all these fancy and extravagant clothes.

"You done yet?" Demetri asked and I looked up seeing him leaning in the doorway with his arms crossed.

"Impatient vampire" I spat at him under my breath hearing him chuckle.

"Remind me to thank Chelsea when we get home, your ass is amazing in those pants"

"What?" I asked trying to look behind me at my butt frowning since I hated women who wore tight clothing just to flaunt their features, it wasn't me.

"You look amazing Soph, stop worrying" he walked over and cupped my face. "Be more worried about the men who stare at you because I'm not going to like them looking at what's mine" I rolled my eyes at him and he smirked kissing the top of my head.

He took my hand and we left the room heading down the elevator and out onto the streets of Athens, the sun was nearly set meaning Demetri wouldn't sparkle but he had his grey peacoat on with gloves and a baseball cap on just in case his skin caught a few rays and the effect would be minimal I'd guess given he wasn't worried and we caught a taxi with him speaking with the driver in Greek for directions while I was once again enthralled by the views.

"Ready to see my birthplace?" he asked whispering in my ear, I turned and nodded at him since I was definitely fascinated to learn about Greece especially from his perspective as he has a unique and amazing one from ancients times and no tour guide could possibly ever compare with my husband's memories so I was definitely looking forward to seeing everything and hearing Demetri's comparison.
