Chapter 9

The following day, Kyle took Kiera on a tour of one of Italy’s most renowned wineries.

They began by exploring the vineyards, then returned to the main building for a wine tasting.

“Give this one a try,” an older man suggested, offering them each a glass of red wine. “It’s got a smooth finish.”

Kyle recognized the man. He was also from Las Vegas and owned another casino. “Mr. Driver. I didn’t expect to see you here in Italy.”

“My wife and I are vacationing.” He glanced at Kiera, took her hand, and kissed it gently. “And who is this beautiful lady you’re with?”

Kyle introduced them. “Where’s your wife?”

“She wasn’t feeling well and decided to stay in. How about we plan dinner tomorrow night?”

After swapping phone numbers and hotel details, they arranged to meet the next evening.

Kiera didn’t mention it to Kyle, but something about the way Mr. Driver looked at her made her uncomfortable.

However, since she was here to keep Kyle happy, she kept her feelings to herself, especially since Kyle seemed to be friends with the man.

Feeling a bit tipsy from the wine, she suggested they go for a walk to get some fresh air.

He took her hand, and they strolled through the vineyard. After about twenty minutes, he stopped and, turning to her, placed his hands on her hips. “Feeling better?”

“Yes. I think the wine and the heat inside got to me. But out here, it’s warm and sunny, and there’s a nice breeze.

“I have a secret: I wanted to get you alone.”

“Why?” he asked, curious about her intentions.

“So I could do this.” She pressed herself against him, her lips meeting his as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Perhaps it was the wine or the thrill of being in a foreign country that made her feel so bold.

Her kiss grew more passionate, more insistent, as she slipped her tongue into his mouth, hearing him moan as his arousal pressed against her.

His grip on her tightened. His desire for her was so intense that he knew he couldn’t wait until they returned to the hotel. He broke their kiss and looked around.

He noticed what appeared to be an old toolshed, likely used for storing equipment for grape harvesting. “Come with me,” he said, leading her towards it.

“Where are we going?”

“Somewhere I can fuck you.” He saw the surprise on her face.

“Don’t look so shocked. You started this with that kiss. You got me so turned on I need you now, so it’s either in that shed or right here in the vineyard.”

“But what if someone sees us?”

“This is Italy. People do it whenever and wherever they want, and everyone else just goes about their business, ignoring two lovers caught up in the moment.”

He opened the door and lit a small lantern. The light was dim, but it was enough to see by.

He locked the door and, turning to her, told her to remove her panties.

“Really? Here?”

“You can’t get me all worked up and then expect me to walk away. Now take off your panties and come sit on my lap,” he said, pulling down his pants and sitting on a bench.

She gasped when she saw his erection, and he wrapped his hand around it. But to her surprise, she found herself getting turned on and felt a growing wetness between her legs.

So she slowly slid off her panties and walked over to straddle him. She felt his warmth and hardness as he guided her down onto him.

“Ride me hard,” he whispered into her neck as he began to suck on it, his hand fondling her breasts over her dress.

He closed his eyes. Being inside her felt so good, and if the ground wasn’t so dirty, he would have laid her down and fucked her right there.

But this was just as good, especially when he heard her scream as she climaxed. Then he came too.

She rested her head on his shoulder. She wondered what it would be like to have raw sex with him, to feel him inside her without a condom.

He kissed the top of her head as he ran his hands down her back. “That was incredible, but we should clean up and get out of here before a worker comes.” He lifted her head to kiss her.

“You’re amazing, so loving and giving. I really like that you’re willing to do what I want.”

They walked hand in hand back to the main building. Her body was still warm from their lovemaking, and she hoped no one would notice her flushed cheeks.

She often wondered if people could tell when someone had just had sex. Was there a telltale sign?

Back at the main house, Kyle was discussing the wine with the owner. He was considering having some shipped to his hotel for his guests.

When she noticed Mr. Driver staring at her, she felt a chill run down her spine and moved closer to Kyle, threading her arm through his.

She knew he didn’t mind her clinging to him when he placed his hand over hers and smiled. It seemed like he enjoyed her doing it.

When he finished talking to the owner and the man left, he turned to her. “Are you okay?”

“Yes. Why do you ask?”

“I don’t know. Maybe it’s the way you’re clinging to me like you’re scared. What’s got you so rattled?”

She glanced over at Steven Driver, and seeing that he was still watching her, she looked away. “It’s nothing. I just had too much wine and I’m feeling a little tired.”

He touched her chin gently. “It’s been a long day for both of us. We can head back to the hotel now and order room service and just stay in tonight.”

He held onto her as they said goodbye to their host, then stopped to let Steven know what time they would be meeting him and his wife for dinner the next night.

Kiera kept her gaze low as the two men conversed. Steven unnerved her. She was relieved when they finally left, but the thought of seeing him again filled her with dread.

A headache was brewing, she could feel it. Back at the hotel, she asked Kyle if he had any aspirin.

He didn’t, so he went down to the lobby and bought a small bottle from the shop that sold magazines and other knick-knacks.

She accepted the two pills he handed her, washing them down with a glass of water.

“Why don’t you lie down for a bit? I’ll order us some room service,” he suggested.

She wrapped her arms around him in a hug. “Okay. Thanks for being so understanding and not getting upset.”

“Why would I be upset with you?”

“I know you wanted to stay longer but left because of me.”

“Hey, you were tired, and I didn’t mind leaving.” He gently lifted her chin. “There’s only so much wine one can taste in a couple of hours.

“I found the wine I wanted for my hotel. That’s all I needed. Now go get some rest, and I’ll wake you when our food arrives.”

She woke up three hours later, feeling much better. Her stomach growled loudly, and she blushed when he looked at her and smiled.

She covered her mouth and giggled. “Excuse me,” she said, returning his smile.

Her smile warmed his heart. Her beautiful green eyes sparkled when she did. “Someone’s hungry,” he teased as they dug into their meal.

He was glad to see she was feeling better. Her face now had a rosy glow to it. That night he didn’t attempt to make love to her. He thought he would let her rest.

But if she were to make a move, he wouldn’t deny her what she wanted.

Waking up in the morning, she wondered where Kyle was. He wasn’t anywhere in the suite, but the coffee was already made, so she poured herself a cup.

As she was pouring a second cup, she heard him come in. She got up and went into the other room. She saw a bag in his hands and was curious as to why he would go shopping so early in the morning.

“Morning, sleepyhead. I thought today we could relax by the pool before we go out to dinner tonight.”

“I don’t have a bathing suit.”

“You do now,” he said, opening the bag and pulling out two swimsuits for her and one for himself. “I hope you like the ones I picked out for you.”

She took them and checked them out, raising an eyebrow. “They’re kind of skimpy.”

“You have a great body. You should show it off.” He took one from her and held it up. “Wear this one for me. It’s my favorite,” he said with a smirk on his face.

“I’ll wear it for you, but I will also be wearing a cover-up over it.”

“We’ll see,” he answered back. “It’s almost lunch. I’ll order some food, then later we’ll go for a swim.”

“All right. I’ll go take a shower.”

His eyes lit up, and he tore off his shirt. “I’ll join you,” he said and started chasing her into the bathroom. Her laughter filled the room when she started running.

He caught her and, turning her around, ripped the shirt she was wearing off her, the buttons scattering on the floor.

Moments later they were both in the shower, their passion as wild as animals in heat.

Later, when they were done eating, they changed into their bathing suits and went down to the pool. They picked out a couple of chairs and lay down. He looked over at her, smiling.

“You can take off the shirt now. Get some sun.”

She looked around nervously, hoping no one was looking as she removed the shirt. “I’m not used to wearing a bikini, especially one so revealing.”

“Well, you look hot. Just relax and look around. All the women are wearing the same, so you’re not alone,” he said, and he put on his sunglasses, lying back down.

He turned to look at her as she lay there, her eyes closed. Then seeing how all the guys who walked past them checked her out, he regretted buying her a suit that showed too much of her body off.

Later he would throw it away. The other one was not as revealing.

He had closed his eyes, and not ten minutes later, he felt a drop of water hit his chest.

He opened his eyes and saw a brunette standing over him, dripping wet, holding a tube of lotion. Her very large breasts were practically popping out of her bikini top.

“Would you do a lady a favor and rub some of this on my back and chest?” she asked, smiling down at him.

He glanced over at Kiera whose lips were pressed tightly together, and she turned her head, not looking at him. He jumped to his feet and faced the woman.

“Sorry, no can do. My lady and I are going for a swim.” He went over to Kiera and pulled her up. “Time for a swim, kitten.”

In the water, as she was standing in front of him, she smiled. “You could have done it. You know…rub the lotion on her.”

He put his arms around her, pulling her closer. “The only chest I want to rub is yours.” He then gave her a kiss, pressing his body against her.

They enjoyed the pool for over an hour before getting out to dry off. By this time the pool area was getting crowded, and more men were eyeing her up and down. This was his cue for them to leave.

“We should go back to our room and shower. It’ll soon be time to meet Steven and his wife for dinner.”

Just hearing that man’s name gave her a bad feeling, but she shrugged it off when Kyle covered her up with the shirt she was wearing earlier.

“I’m glad we came down for a swim. It was so refreshing. At first I thought the water was going to be cold.”

“It’s a heated pool. Are you ready to go up?” When she nodded, he held her hand as they walked past the crowd, letting all the men there know she was with him.
