Charlotte's POV

After getting rid of my surprise, I wanted to push him back by placing my hands on his chest, but he wrapped his arm around my waist, pressing me against his body, and deepened the kiss.

I moaned without managing to hold myself when he bit my lower lip. A corner of his lips curled up into a smirk.

"Grandpa is looking at us." He whispered quickly and smashed his lips against mine while I was in daze.

He tightened his grip around me while kissing me feverishly. I couldn't hold myself anymore and responded to his kiss, wrapping my arms around his neck while my traitorous body craved for him. I was on fire. And this man... he knew what he was doing. No doubt he had a lot of experience.

When he pulled back, both of us were out of breath. He cupped my cheeks, looking at me, his gaze dark with desire.

I bit my lower lip and averted my gaze without knowing what to do. I still felt his lips on my lips and my body wanted more.

He cleared his throat, running his hand through his hair, and suggested after holding my hand. "Let's go."

I nodded and we walked towards the green house while I couldn't stop myself from thinking about our kiss.

"Wow!" I exclaimed in amazement as soon as we walked into the greenhouse. "It is so beautiful." I commented in awe while looking at the different unique and beautiful flowers and plants one by one. Moreover, the interior design was fabulous as well.

"Yes, when I was a child, I often came and hid here. It was my sanctuary." Alexis commented, resting his hands in his pockets.

I bit my lower lip, lost in my thoughts while looking around. My mind was on what Alexis told his grandpa about me. Had he really seen me before we were officially introduced to each other? No, probably, he lied.

"By the way, you are a great liar. If I didn't know, I would believe you saw me a few years ago." I commented, folding my arms over my chest, facing the Greek god.

He cleared his throat. "I didn't lie. I really saw you in Mykonos while you were shooting a campaign. The place was my best friend, Markos' hotel. I went to visit him and saw you there." He confessed honestly, his hands in his pockets.

I raised my eyebrow, surprised. I didn't know how to feel. So he remembered me after all these years... But if it was true, then did it mean his feelings...

I bit my lower lip and ruffled my hair, thinking while he kept staring at me. I was dying to ask if he really felt something towards me when he saw me for the first time or not. However, I didn't know if I was ready to hear the answer.

"Umm... Did you..."

"It will be better if we go back. Grandpa doesn't like to wait. Dinner must be ready." Alexis interrupted me as he checked the time on his wristwatch.

I purse my lips together, disappointed and nodded. Maybe, it was a sign that I shouldn't ask him about it. Moreover, if he said this part to convince his grandpa, I would look like a fool. I shouldn't forget why we were here; it was just a game, nothing more.

After dinner, we chatted while drinking coffee. More correctly, Alexis's grandfather was questioning me, asking different questions about my family, our relationship and my future plans; he still looked unconvinced, and I was sure he wouldn't believe us easily.

"Umm... Grandpa, if you don't mind, we would like to rest." Alexis stated firmly, interrupting his grandfather as Elias started asking him questions about our relationship and marriage.

This old man was really unbelievable. Despite the fact he saw me for the first time, he asked Alexis when we plan to take our relationship to the next level.

"Sure, guys." He nodded, giving us a mischievous smirk.

From his gaze, I was sure he thought we would do anything, but rest when we went to the bedroom. A glint of mischief in his eyes told me he was thinking that as soon as we went there, we would do... Thanks to Alexis's abruptness.

If it was another time, I would kill Alexis, but if it would save us from this man's non-stop questions now, I wouldn't mind at all. Moreover, maybe thinking that we looked forward to staying alone and doing naughty things would convince him that Alexis and I were really in love.

Alexis grabbed my hand and led us towards the stairs in quick steps. He only released my hand when we walked into the bedroom. I breathed deeply in relief as we could finally relax.

When Alexis wanted to say something, his phone rang, interrupting him. He sighed, annoyed and pulled his phone out of his pocket.

"Excuse me. I have to pick it up. It is from the company." He said and left the room, picking his phone up, closing the door behind him.

Once I was alone in the room, I decided to take a quick shower while Alexis was talking on the phone. I walked towards the bed and opened my bag.

After taking my nightie and robe out of my bag, I took off my clothes quickly and rushed towards the bathroom before Alexis came back.

Once I took a shower, I dried my body and hair and put on my nightie and robe before leaving the bathroom.

When I walked into the bedroom, Alexis was sitting on the bed, tapping something on his phone.

As he heard my footsteps, he lifted his head up, letting our eyes meet. He swallowed hard, roaming my body from head to toe, undressing me with his eyes.

I cleared my throat, feeling suddenly hot. I ruffled my hair nervously and averted my gaze, biting my lower lip nervously.

"Umm... There is no couch here." I commented uneasily.

"Yes, we have to share the bed tonight." He informed huskily as he stood up, placing his phone on the bed, and took off his suit jacket.

"What?!" I exclaimed anxiously.

"We don't have another choice." He said nonchalantly and loosened his tie.

"You can sleep on the floor." I commented firmly, folding my arms over my chest.
He raised his eyebrow, looking at me.

"Charlotte, I don't plan to sleep on the floor and wake up in pain the following morning. Moreover, you don't know my grandpa very well. He is so cunning; so if I sleep on the floor, he will find out about it." He stated firmly and started unbuttoning his shirt.

"We can lock the door." I suggested hopefully and gulped, staring at his sculpted chest.

"He will find out whatever you do." He commented nonchalantly.

"Did he put a camera in the bedroom?" I asked in panic, my eyes wide and I looked around. "I took off my clothes here." I added anxiously.

He chuckled in amusement. "My grandpa isn't a pervert, koukla mou. He has more decent ways to keep an eye on us. You can't just hide anything from him, that is all; so we must be so careful." He stated firmly and took off his shirt, raising the temperature of the room for me.

I breathed deeply, annoyed. "Fine, but stay on your side. If I even see your finger on my side, I will cut it." I warned him.

"You are terrifying, koukla mou." He mocked, smirking.

"You have no idea." I gave him a devilish look.

"But if you come to my side?" He asked hoarsely and bit his lower lip, standing in front of me like a Greek god statue with his glory.

"Only in your dreams." I rolled my eyes, trying not to gawk at his perfect abs.

"We will see." He gave me a cocky smirk and started to unbuckle his belt.

"You don't plan to sleep naked, do you?" I asked warily.

"Actually, I prefer sleeping naked, but for you, I would sleep in my pajama bottoms. I have some clothes here which I use when I stay here. So don't worry." He winked at me. I gulped as I felt tingling between my legs as I imagined him sleeping naked.

Charlotte, get a grip!

Stop fantasizing about this annoying Greek jerk!

Think about Nathan. Yes, think how happy you will be with him after this game.

I took a deep breath and approached the bed, ignoring a cocky smirk on Alexis' face, and took off my robe. Even if I tried not to look at him, I noticed his gaze on me.

"Sweet dreams." I said softly as I lay down on the bed and pulled the cover over my body.

"Sweet dreams, Charlotte." He commented huskily, laying down beside me on the bed, and pulled the cover over his lower body before resting his arm under his head.
