The rebel bachelor is back…
To claim her baby!
In this Greek Island Brides story, pregnant surrogate Popi Costas is faced with raising her late sister’s child alone, until the baby’s wealthy uncle arrives to take charge! Apollo Drakos is distractingly handsome, but Popi won’t let that stop her from fighting to keep the baby. Yet as she gets to know the man behind the wild card reputation, Popi’s reconsidering welcoming Apollo into her new little family…
A couple of
minutes later, Popi pulled to a stop in front of Lea’s bungalow. The bridegroom
wasn’t there. He was bunking with the island’s handyman, Joseph, until the
wedding. In the time Xander had been on the island, the older man had taken him
under his wing, like a father would do.
When Popi
entered the bungalow, she was surprised to find so many women rushing around.
But she didn’t see Lea among them. And then her name was called. She glanced
around, finding Lea waving her to the guest room.
Popi made
her way to Lea. Once inside the room, she closed the door. “What are you doing
in here instead of your room?”
Lea rolled
her eyes. “The elders are so caught up in the wedding. They think my soon-to-be
husband is in line to be a saint for all he’s doing for them that they don’t
want to jinx anything.”
“Do I dare
ask what that means?”
“They’re
preparing the marital bed... Um...what did they call it? Oh, yes, to krevati.”
“What?”
She’d heard of the tradition but she’d never heard of anyone actually doing it.
“You mean like with the rose petals, ribbons and money?”
“And rice.
Don’t forget the rice. They’ve been here cleaning and putting fresh linens on
the bed. I had to talk them out of rolling an infant on the bed. I told them we
didn’t need any help in the fertility department.” Lea ran a loving hand over
her own expanding midsection.
Popi burst
out laughing. “Definitely not. But they could have just rolled you around on
the bed.”
“Don’t give
them any ideas.” Lea shook her head. “So I’ve been hiding in here.”
“You don’t
have time to hide. It isn’t long until you say ‘I do.’ I’ll just go get some
makeup and I’ll be right back.”
Popi was the
maid of honor, or koumbara, and it was her responsibility to see that the bride
was ready on time. The rest of the bridal party soon showed up, including Lea’s
assistant and her soon to be sister-in-law, Stasia. Because an odd number of
attendants was good luck. And three attendants were the best.
Together
they worked until Lea was all done up with her long hair pulled up with just a
few strategically placed curly wisps of hair softening her face. A wreath of
fresh flowers was clipped into place.
Popi stepped
back and took in Lea’s dress. It was truly breathtaking. White tiers of
Chantilly lace, tulle and ribbons adorned her. There was a V-shaped neckline
with delicate straps over her shoulders and satin ribbon wrapped around her
waist. She truly looked like a Greek goddess.
