A Night with Kyrian

 

I had been planning this vacation for months now and finally I had everything perfect. I was going to show Amanda Greece the way I did with Julian while in the military. I want to show them all the places the tourist don’t get to go, a few of the secret places of Macedonian Julian showed me.

It had been too long since I’d been back, at first because it was just too painful to go back to the place it all started. But things are different now, I have a wife and children who hold my heart and soul. They are my very reason for being now, everything I do at home is to protect them this was going to be a family having fun together.

The last piece was in place, the jet had been booked for the entire trip, with an hour’s notice we could fly to any place in the world if we wanted. It was a vacation after, why not fly off to Rome for dinner one night, it was only a couple hours from Athens.

With the last click of the mouse I shut down the laptop, stood and stretched the tightness out of my muscles and joints. I’d been sitting in front that computer screen for hours trying to get all the details right, I needed to work some of this stiffness out before heading to bed.

Heading downstairs to the gym, grabbing the iPod from the charger, selecting the Lynyrd Skynyrd playlist I start stretching out. Once I’m loosened up I grab my sword, then switched to the Metallica playlist and ran through the old routine, just like it was drilled into me. Over the years I’ve added variation to the technique making it my own, but the basics are still the same.

After an hour I’m covered in sweat and ready for a shower, grabbing the towel from the bench I place the iPod back in the charger and head upstairs. I see Amanda is already in bed so I’ll wait to tell her about the plane and head for the bathroom. Leaving the bathroom door open I walk over and turn on the shower, there were only 1 or 2 things left to take care of for the trip. Once the water was hot enough I stepped in and started washing the day off me.

Dressing in just my pj bottoms I slid into bed behind Amanda, wrapping my arm around her waist I pull myself up behind her. I can feel the warmth coming off her body, as it has already started warming my cooling body after the shower. Listening to her steady breathing has a calming effect on my body, soon enough my eye lids began to fall and sleep pulled me under.
