Chapter 91_ Professional Stalker

While Alex and Selma took turns getting on the kart, Arya grabbed Kane’s arm and pulled him to one side. “I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the kart, but...”

Arya shut him up with a long, tender kiss. She could feel their hearts beating together, strong and loud. Kane’s fingers brushed the skin on her face and stroked her hair. “Thank you." Arya said,

"I did nothing.”

"You care. You care about me, and you care about Alex.” Arya said, and Kane gave her a light kiss, then turned his head towards Alex, who was trying to drift on his brand new kart.

“How could I not care about my goddess and that incredible little man?” Kane said, and Arya smiled as she rested her head on Kane's chest and squeezed him tightly, enjoying the little moment between them before they went back to join the others.

In addition to the kart, Kane prepared some refreshments; he kept them in the trunk of his car: cake, soda, and mini sandwiches. Alex unwrapped one mini sandwich and put it in his mouth. “Mm. This tastes amazing,” he hummed with delight.

“I can't take credit for the cake, but the mini sandwiches... those are Maranello's originals.” Kane said,

Chloe took a slice of the cake and took Arya aside. “I got news." She said, and Arya raised her brow curiously.

"What news?”

"I found Melinda Cocatti.” Chloe answered, and Arya widened her eyes in surprise.

"Are you serious? How did you do that?"

Chloe shrugged. “Nothing big. I spent a couple of hours on the phone with a few colleagues, an ex-boyfriend, and a neighbor.”

“Chloe, you are amazing." Arya said,

“I’m just a professional stalker.” Chloe replied as she handed Arya a card with an address written on it. She continued, “She owns a pizzeria in Albinea, not far from here.”

Arya nodded. "I’ll pay her a visit. Thank you so much, Chloe. This might be very important in solving all the problems at work.”

"No problem, sweetie. Buy me a tequila, and we’ll call it even.” Chloe said, and just hearing about tequila turned Arya's stomach upside down.

She scrunched up her brows and said, “I’ll buy whatever you want, but please not tequila.”

Chloe chuckled. "Don't worry, I’ll think of something else.”

After having fun with Alex and the others for a day, Arya and Kane headed back to the hotel, as everyone departed on a good note. As they entered the room, Arya felt like she hadn't felt light and happy in what felt like a long time. She turned to Kane with a smile and said, “I must say I was really missing being all together. It's always so much fun.”

“This whole Italian mission was getting pretty heavy. I thought that having a touch of home here would fix everything.” Kane said,

"Speaking of the touch of home, where are Alex and Selma?” Arya asked,

“Don't worry about them. Alex will be with Alonso, while Selma will be with Chloe. I booked a room for them.” Kane said, and Arya nodded.

“Chloe gave us a great lead. She found the person who was accused of stealing Maranello's secret before Lewis and Victoria were transferred from Naple’s office.” Arya revealed,

“That’s great news. We should go and meet her tomorrow.” Kane said, and Arya shook her head.

"Err… I have work to do tomorrow; I don't have time for a field trip." Arya said,

"This is also work. What's more important than finding out who the mole is? You may not have time for a field trip, but I'm sure you can make some room for a business one, right?” Kane said, and Arya found herself nodding to him.

Kane took her in his arms and kissed her. “I missed you so much. Can we please never fight like that again?” He said, his voice thick with emotion.

"Sure. If you can tell me what you are up to instead of making a mystery out of everything.” Arya said, and Kane nodded.

"I promise.” He kissed her again, leading her towards the bed, like she was moving on the soft notes of a slow dance.

Kane ripped his shirt off and pushed them onto the bed as Arya lay over him, letting his hands undress her as his mouth tasted her skin. Goosebumps ran down Arya's spine as she arched her back, letting Kane bite her nipples. Arya took him in his hands, could feel how hard he was, and started stroking him.

Kane grabbed Arya's ass and dragged her over him, grinding against her. “You missed me, didn't you?" Arya murmured, her amber eyes now clouded with lust.

“You can't imagine." Kane replied huskily, and Arya kissed him and grinned harder against him. She felt his hands going down her ass and a finger making its way towards an unusual spot—her anus.

“What are you doing?" Arya asked,

“I thought we could try something new, Tigress." Kane replied, his eyes burning with lust as he gazed intently at her. Arya felt a thrill of excitement go through her body as her body trembled to explore the unknown.

Kane started touching her with a slow, circular massage all around to ease her tension, and she slowly relaxed her body, letting out all the stress and all her thoughts. She just focused on the thrill of trying something new and abandoned herself to the pleasure of being touched in such an intimate way for the first time.
