accusations.
    “I never asked either of them. I didn’t want to hurt them with my curiosity, but my dad left me a letter.” She gave him only a hint at the truth. “Unfortunately, both my biological parents died at a young age, so I never had the chance to know them.”
    What she didn’t tell him was she’d learned she was a direct descendant of Margarita Andresen, for whom the foundation had been named. She’d also come into a considerable inheritance, though the conditions of the trust wouldn’t allow her to fund the foundation with personal money. It might be safer to let him believe she was a mercenary. At least that would keep him from realizing he already owned her heart and soul.
    “It is sad to be so alone in life,” he commented. “In Greece, everyone is family. Sometimes too many.”
    His tone sounded fierce, yet his eyes shone with the affection he had for his extended Greek family. Despite being annoyed with them on occasion, he genuinely loved his parents, grandparents and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Crystal had loved being included, albeit briefly, in his big family circle. She wanted to ask about each of them, but thought it might be dangerous territory to tackle.
    The phone rang and Demetri answered it. He spoke in rapid Greek, too quickly for her to translate the whole conversation, but she knew he was speaking to Makis. His friend would not be happy to learn they were together and she couldn’t tell if Demetri said as much.
     
    They made love all day Sunday and throughout the night, turning into each other’s arms again and again, feeding on each other’s passionate need. The phone rang early Monday morning and Crystal knew Makis would expect Demetri to work, but he didn’t leave her side. They ate, bathed, slept and made love. She’d given herself a few days off work after the fundraiser, so nobody tried to claim her time, but his phone rang incessantly. For the most part, he ignored it. When he did answer, he was impatient and abrupt. Neither of them wanted anything to intrude on their intimate reunion.
    By Tuesday morning, Demetri told her he had to get some work done. There were too many people in need of his time. After showering, they shared breakfast and he dressed in what she’d always considered his power suits. This one was dark blue and paired with a crisp white shirt. She wanted to strip it back off him, button by button.
    “Meet me for lunch?” he asked as he dropped a kiss on Crystal’s lips. She slipped her arms around his waist and encouraged a deeper kiss. Since she wore only a white terry robe, he had no trouble finding bare skin. He caressed her until the brief goodbye kiss turned into a long, slow seduction of senses.
    “You go to my head!” he charged when they finally paused for air. “If I don’t stop kissing you, I will never get any work done.”
    She laughed softly while stepping out of his reach. “I need to get dressed, check in with my office and schedule some more vacation time, but I can meet you about one o’clock for lunch. Will that be okay?”
    He nodded and gave her the address of his new office. “Also, your special lingerie is in my suitcase,” he added with a wink. “I would be pleased to know you are wearing it.”
    Crystal smiled and blew him a kiss as he left the suite. Glancing around, she searched for suitcases with childlike anticipation. Most of his clothing had been unpacked and pressed by hotel staff, but a couple of cases were tucked in the bottom of the closet. She pulled out the smaller one and found the items he’d mentioned. There were several sets of bras and panties.
    She slid the robe off her body and stepped into a pair of pale yellow thong panties. The design had a unique device incorporated in the lace. Nearly invisible wires pressed against her pussy, threading a tiny electrical transmitter against her clit and between the cleft of her cheeks.
    The demi-bra cupped her breasts with lace that scooped around her
