Chapter Nine

“Keep me informed,” Kitaro said and hung up the phone. His eyes were narrowed to mere slits when he looked at the woman sitting across the room on the sofa.

“I take it that your people have the situation under control?” she asked.

“No thanks to you,” he replied sharply. “You should not have made a unilateral decision in this matter. I should have been consulted.”

“There wasn’t time,” she replied, seemingly unaffected by the anger on his face, or the cold tone of his voice. “I did what I thought was best at the moment.

“And,” she added as he took a seat across from her on a matching sofa. “It worked out just beautifully, so you can quit pouting.”

“Pouting?” he asked archly. “My dear, I never pout.”

“Of course not.” Her voice was filled with laughter.

“Do not start,” he warned. “This could have proven disastrous if I had not been able to arrange—”

“But it wasn’t,” she interrupted. “And I’m not going to listen to any more about it. If he knows something then we need to know what it is. What better way than to play along with his demands?”

Kitaro considered it for a moment. Even he would admit that had he been faced with the matter, he might have acted in the same way. And she was right. They needed all the information. As he mulled it over, he realized that it might work to their advantage.

A smile began at the corner of his mouth and her eyes twinkled. “I see you’re starting to see things my way,” she said.

“When have I not?” he asked, thinking to himself that there were times when she was exceedingly difficult to put up with. He wondered when the day would come that he would tire of her and have her terminated.

She slithered off the sofa and onto the Persian rug at his feet. Her hand snaked up one leg to his crotch, a lascivious smile on her face. “And what about now?” she asked in a husky voice.

Kitaro couldn’t deny the erotic desires she provoked in him and didn’t try. She still had the power to make him feel like a young man in the arts of love, and he had not grown weary of that particular aspect of their association.

“You tell me,” he replied as she stroked the hardness beneath the fine linen trousers he wore.

Her smile faded to be replaced with a look of hunger. She reached for the zipper. Kitaro smiled with pleasure and closed his eyes. Life was certainly a strange phenomenon. The irritations of one moment could suddenly transform into the exquisite sensations of the next. Surprise setbacks could miraculously transform into fortuitous opportunity, and hardship could abruptly mutate into fortune. That was what made it such a wonderful adventure. There were so many variables.
