Chapter 85
I was exhausted as Kane carried me back to the room, and I couldn't help but tremble in my legs.
Maybe because we were outside, Kane was more intense than before.
He was like a wild beast, constantly taking what he wanted from my body.
My face flushed red as I held tightly onto his neck, burying my head in his chest.
I wasn't sure who had seen us having sex just now, but whoever it was, I didn't really want to face them.
Kane gently placed me on the bed.
He kissed me and said, "You might have to bathe yourself today. I need to handle something."
I looked up at him and instinctively asked, "Is it work-related?"
Kane nodded slightly.
That's when I realized Kane had put off his work specifically to deal with Berlin's situation.
I looked at him with some guilt, "Did my situation delay your work?"
Hearing this, Kane paused while changing his clothes.
Then he sat beside me, cupped the back of my head, and pressed his forehead against mine.
His voice was very gentle as he said to me, "You haven't delayed anything. Anything related to you is the most important thing."
This made the corners of my mouth lift slightly.
But I also knew clearly that Kane had indeed postponed his work because of me.
I nodded gently, "Then you should go handle your work quickly."
Kane stood up and changed into new pants. The crotch of the pants he'd taken off showed faint white stains.
I didn't know if they were his or from inside my body.
My face reddened as I looked away.
It wasn't until Kane had dressed properly in his work clothes and kissed my cheek that he finally left the room.
I was left alone in the huge room.
I jumped off the bed, planning to take a bath, but unexpectedly, my legs went weak, and I almost fell straight to the floor.
My face flushed as I steadied myself.
Kane had indeed been a bit excessive today, but my heart felt sweet.
After bathing, I fell asleep exhausted.
I thought I'd have trouble sleeping after seeing Berlin being abused, but I actually had an incredibly sweet dream.
In the dream, Kane was with me, along with Nina, and even my mother.
We all sat together on a big bed, floating toward some unknown island.
Kane said we would spend a happy and long life on that island.
The dream was beautiful. Even when I woke up, I still had a smile on my face.
I glanced at the empty side of the bed - clearly Kane hadn't come back last night.
I felt a bit disappointed, but when I picked up my phone and saw Kane's message, the disappointment vanished instantly.
I opened his message to read it.
He said he'd be very busy these next couple of days and would stay at the company. Since he didn't get to eat the late-night snack I personally delivered last time, this time he hoped to eat lunch and dinner made by me.
The corners of my mouth curved up as I immediately started thinking about what to make for him.
Kane was picky about food.
This was a conclusion I'd reached through observation during this time.
At least he only ate fresh meat.
How fresh? I figured it meant being delivered to the table within two hours of leaving the slaughterhouse.
Thinking of this, I immediately headed to the kitchen.
Nina was waiting for me at the dining table.
I sat down beside her.
For some reason, I felt Nina was looking at me strangely, even somewhat avoiding my gaze.
I bumped her arm with my shoulder, "What's wrong? You seem a bit odd?"
Nina seemed startled by my bump and immediately looked flustered.
She quickly shook her head in denial, "No, nothing at all."
But this reaction made me feel even more suspicious.
Nina wasn't good at lying. Whenever she lied, she'd become stuttery, like just now.
I narrowed my eyes, looking at her with scrutiny, "We're supposed to be best friends, right?"
Nina immediately looked up and nodded hard, "Of course we are."
I crossed my arms over my chest, staring at her with puffed cheeks, "But I think you're keeping a secret from me."
Nina looked at me nervously and grabbed the knife and fork beside her.
She unconsciously scraped the knife against the fork, making a rather harsh metallic sound.
I couldn't stand it and quickly grabbed her wrist, "Oh my God, for God's sake, stop making that noise."
Nina quickly put down the utensils.
She hesitantly spoke, "Well, actually, I saw you and Kane yesterday."
Before Nina could finish, I immediately covered her mouth with my hand.
I swear to God, my face must have been as red as a burning fireball right then.
I looked at her almost pleadingly, "Okay, okay, stop talking."
Nina couldn't help but laugh.
She stared at me for a long time, let out a long breath, then leaned teasingly close to my ear, "What does it feel like to have sex with him?"
I never expected Nina to ask me this kind of thing at the breakfast table.
My face reddened as I bit my lip.
But facing my friend, I was honest, "It feels really good, and he's very skilled and amazing."
Hearing this, Nina's eyes showed longing.
"I wonder if I'll ever have a chance in this lifetime to have sex with a man as strong, powerful, and skilled as Mr. Moretti?"
Hearing this, I looked up in surprise and blurted out, "You want to have sex with Kane?"
Nina immediately glared at me, "What nonsense are you talking about? He's your husband, how could I possibly think such things?"
Only then did I understand, and I looked at her and said, "I didn't expect you to be so hungry, too."
Nina puffed out her chest, "After all, I am a bit older than you. Isn't it normal to have sexual needs?"
That wasn't wrong - everyone has the right to pursue great sex.
I thought for a moment, and somehow Bandel, who was almost always by Kane's side, popped into my mind.
Last time, it was also Bandel who appeared and saved me from Berlin's hands.
I tentatively asked, "What do you think of Bandel?"
Nina paused, taking a while to remember who I meant by Bandel.
A blush appeared on her face, "I don't even know him, how would I know?"
Seeing Nina looking so moved, I knew she was somewhat attracted to Bandel.
"I think Bandel is great. Maybe you could try getting to know him."
And since he was Kane's assistant, he must be quite capable.
If Nina could really be with him, I thought there wouldn't be any problems in the future.
But Nina's expression seemed hesitant.
She propped her chin and sighed, "But he knows about Bertley and me. He even advised me before to stay away from Bertley..."
As if feeling embarrassed, Nina lowered her face onto the table.
But I didn't see it that way. I gently patted Nina's shoulder.
"That just shows Bandel is a really good man. Bertley is Mr. Moretti's brother, yet he wasn't afraid to offend him."
Hearing me say this, Nina's eyes lit up.
She grabbed my hand and looked straight at me, "Do you really think so, Sonya?"
I looked at her too and nodded firmly, "Of course, dear Nina. In my eyes, you deserve any man in this world."
My words gave Nina confidence. She smiled and let go of my hand.
Watching her eat breakfast while grinning foolishly, I let out a long breath of relief.
However, I also needed to ask Kane whether Bandel had any such intentions.
We didn't even know if he was single yet.
