Kyle berated himself mentally.

How could he be thinking about such insane thoughts? Rather, how could he be so stupid as to have such feelings?

He didn't like it?

What was there not to like?

The fact that Sayuri was a beautiful, skillful ninja that could do missions just like him?

Worse, he had been a woman in his past life, and he was one that advocated equality.

So how come it was okay for him to do all that with Samantha and Randall, yet feel uncomfortable when he thought of Sayuri doing the same thing to other people on her missions?

If he could do the honey trap missions, why not her - whose family actually specialised in such skills?

Why the double standard?

As much as he was scolding himself, he still could not quite dispel the uneasiness in his heart. The more he couldn't, the more agitated he was feeling.

What was wrong with him?

Was he becoming a male chauvinist after being in this form? Was the fact that he was such an Alpha Male, that his thoughts became skewered? Twisted?

Without realising it, his grip on Sayuri became tighter as he brought her closer to him, moulding herself on him. Her vanilla scent calmed him down for some reason and he subconsciously reached out for that warmth.

"Kyle?" Sayuri asked, a bit worriedly upon seeing the expression on his face.

Not just his expression, but there was this intense aura that was leaking through.

Sayuri became vigilant.

Was Kyle so worried over his kids that he wasn't thinking properly? There may have been those guys that tailed after the kids, but there were still a few around observing them. She could not let them see this part of him, for they would surely suspect something if it was allowed to carry on.

So, looking up, she then brought his head down towards her, but in a way as if it was him that was doing so. She kissed him, effectively letting those peepers think that Kyle's hesitation and facial expression were him suppressing himself at first at doing this public display of affection.

Sure, he had kissed her earlier but that was a peck on the lips.

This one was much more intense as she then clung onto him even more.

Kyle seemed to snap out of whatever dream he was under and understood immediately what she was doing.

So he tightened his hold on her and deepened the kiss, bringing his hand behind her head and waist.

When he broke apart, he said softly, his lips not moving, "Sorry and thanks."

Sayuri looked down 'shyly' and took his hand as they walked back into the building, ignoring the stares some were giving them.

Country M was, after all, a conservative country. If any police had been nearby, they would have been arrested due to indecent exposure. Kyle scoffed at the thought that merely kissing in public was an offence.

Imagine if he did more than just kiss.

Kyle grinned a bit when he suddenly thought of something, which involved a park and Sayuri, then mentally slapped himself. It wasn't that he was worried about getting caught, but rather, he had more important things to think about right now.

[Kay, is everything okay at your end?]

[Don't worry, brother] Kay assured him [Lucka's driving skills have really improved]

[Tell the Team that they have the green light to eliminate them once you board the plane]

[They'll be happy to. Remember to give Donnie a little bit of extra 'love' from me, okay?]

[Oh, I have something really, really special for him. Killing me wasn't enough and now he targets my kids?]

Sayuri stroked his back upon feeling Kyle's killer aura exploding through. He took a deep breath and retracted it, sighing.

"I seriously need to work on that," he grumbled.

Lately, he noticed that his emotions were going slightly off the track. The death and seeing his kids were the triggers, so he knew he had to get himself back on track in order to tackle Donnie properly.

Luckily, he had Sayuri beside him for now. He shuddered to think what he would have been like if it wasn't for her calming presence.

And the sex, of course.

Gah. He was seriously becoming a sex addict.

Kyle continued to berate himself mentally all the way back to the apartment.

Kay told Lucka and Zero, who were sitting in front, "Kyle said to do an all's clear."

"Noted, Ms. Kay," Zero replied and relayed the message to everyone else, a small smile on his face.

Lianne sat quietly at the side of the car, holding onto Ren like it was a lifeline. She had on her earphones, listening to some music while looking outside.

Joseph, who had to sit in the middle (as usual) and was busy on his phone (as usual).

Kay watched the two kids and sighed.

She wouldn't be able to stay with them much once they returned, for she had to return to work. They didn't know how long Kyle would be staying at Country M, but he had given himself a year. There were still several months left to that.

This whole thing was rather sudden and not within the plans, thus Kay was a bit lost as to what she needed to do.

"Kakak Kay, do you have things about Abang Kyle?" Lianne asked suddenly.

"Please, just call me Kay," Kay replied, "There's actually his Insta account that you could look at. It's inactive right now since he's not bothered with it anymore. We also have the PoK and most importantly! I have a scrapbook! Hehehe"

Lianne's eyes went wide as saucers, "A scrapbook?"

"Yes," Kay said softly, a smile on her face, "Kyle is not just my twin brother, but he's the one that is my pillar of strength."

Lianne nodded, saying, "Yup, that sounds just like her."
