35 Starter

We were back home in New York and Detective Sean Mullins was giving us an update on our case and was rather concerned for our safety. We were seated in the sitting room and Kyle had his arm wrapped loosely round my waist.

"I think we need to beef up your security for now. There have been too many attempts on your lives.Fortunately they have failed so far. The two incidents in Switzerland were connected I believe. The suspect you found hanging on your wall has a criminal record and is connected to Mr Durand.Fortunately or unfortunately, he was electrocuted by the fence when he had come to assassinate you. We found a weapon on his person. We believe that the other suspect at the ski resort slipped and broke his neck as he attempted to ambush you-well we all know how that went." He sighed as he placed his hands on his knees.

"What about the Milan incident ?" I asked.

"Well-this is just a theory-but I suspect that the bomb was supposed to be planted in your car. But fortunately or unfortunately the explosive was strapped under a similar car that clearly wasn't yours- in the hope that it was yours. Well we know how that ended don't we?" He huffed.

"So what's the way forward Detective?" Kyle took my hand in his.

"You need to lay low for a while I'm afraid.." He stressed . "No more public appearances for now. It's too dangerous."

"Great." I muttered.

"Another thing-I have a hunch that Mr Durand had a tracker placed on you somehow..can I take a look at your phone please? If you don't mind of course?" He shrugged.

"Sure-let me get it." I stood up and picked it up from the kitchen counter, where I had left it.

"Here you go," I handed it over to him and sat next to Kyle.

"Can I take this? I know you're a busy woman and you probably need this but we need to check if the tracker was placed inside this device. You can always have another number for a few days." He suggested.

"It's okay babe-you can manage without it for a few days can't you? Kyle said softly.

"Yeah-sure." I agreed. "I just want this to be over." I sighed as I pushed my fingers through my hair.

"Okay, I guess I'll be on my way then," Sean said as he got up. "I'll be in touch."

Kyle walked him out and I went back to the kitchen to tell the chef to start preparing lunch. I wasn't hungry but Kyle would make an issue if I didn't eat plus Rita was coming over in a bit.

"Babe-Rita is here!" Kyle shouted from the sitting room.

"Hey My-My, " Rita walked over and kissed me on the cheek.

Hey RiRi," I gave her a squeeze.

"I'll be in the studio. Please tell Mary to serve lunch on the patio." Kyle said as he climbed up the stairs.

"Sure baby-Can I get you anything?" I asked Rita.

"Let me see what I can whip up from your well stocked bar," Rita walked over to the bar and made herself a drink.

We sat at the bar and talked while we had our drinks.

"So how's everything going Mrs Kinley? well-minis the JP drama of course?" She rolled her eyes.

"I'm happy despite everything," I grinned.

"Hmmm..you should be..is that a hickey on your.?"Rita bent her head sideways.

"I am a married woman!" I giggled as I swatted Rita on her thigh.

"So-do tell? I need to hear all the juicy details. Don't leave anything out," She said animatedly as she shifted in her seat, Martini in her hand.

"Rita! You are shameless!" We both giggled like school girls.

"What's he like? By the way you're blushing he must exceed all your expectations. Spill won't you?" She raised her eyebrow.

"Kyle is a beast..he's the best I've ever had RiRi!" I put my hands over my face,

"That good huh?" she laughed.

"I thought because I was his first he wouldn't-you know? But he always leaves me wanting more..I can't explain it." I sighed deeply.

"I think I have a pretty good idea.. Jamie is-wow!" She blushed and placed her martini back on the counter.

"That good huh?" We burst into a fit of laughter.

"Lunch is ready Mrs K," The chef announced and walked out.

"Let me get Kyle-You can go sit outside, where we will be having lunch." I said to Rita and went in search of my husband.

I pushed open the studio door and found him lying on the coach, staring into space.

"What's on your mind husband?" I sat on top of him.

"You..you're always on my mind babe.." He stroked my cheek with the back of his hand.

"Sorry to interrupt.. but lunch is ready." I smiled down at him.

"I just might decide to skip to dessert," he slowly licked his lips.

"Noo-behave! We have guests!Rita is here and James will arrive at any moment." I tried to run but he caught me by the waist.

"They can wait."

"No baby-let's save it for later shall we?"

"You're so addictive-like a drug. I can't seem to get enough of you." He caught his fingers in my hair and whispered in my ear, causing my body to have an outbreak of goosebumps.

"Kyle.." I gasped as he trailed his tongue down my neck.

"Hmm..I love it when you say my name." He sucked on my collarbone and I gasped.

"We can't?" He pushed me back onto the couch and smothered my protests with his lips.

"Says who?" he crushed his lips against mine , his tongue ducking and diving in my mouth until I was breathless.

I slid my hands into his hair and the kiss deepened.

"Okay you two-that's a wrap-you have visitors. Remember??" James said as he and Rita burst into the room.

"Damn guys!Please knock next time okay?" Kyle pulled my dress down to cover my exposed thighs.We scrambled to sit up our breathing unsteady.

"If we knocked you weren't going to respond-were you?" James crossed his arms against his chest.

"This is not over.. let's just call it a starter." Kyle whispered as he nibbled my earlobe.

"Guys! Enough!" James grabbed Kyle and pulled him towards the door.

"You guys are unbelievable. Were you about to..?"Rita chuckled softly as she shook her head. "I've never seen a married couple that can't get enough of each other like you two."

"What can I say my man is just too hot!" I gushed.

"Let's go and eat!" Rita rolled her eyes and dragged me out of the room.
