By Zephyria “What?”
“What?”
They were about to devour each other with their fierce eyes when a sudden ominous feeling washed over them. Joshua was the first to slowly turn his head, freezing in place. Dane, following his gaze, also faltered. At the top of the stairs, Chase and Grayson were staring down at them, their faces pale.
“Ch, Chase.”
A flustered Joshua quickly stood up. But Chase’s eyes were already shaking as if an earthquake had struck. Where did he hear it from? He was wondering, mortified, when Grayson grabbed his head with both hands and screamed.
“Don’t tell me, you two slept together?”
“What?”
“What?”
Joshua and Dane shouted over Chase, who had turned ashen.
“Don’t be ridiculous, I have standards!”
Dane shouted first, followed by Joshua, who shook his head urgently.
“No, Chase. Absolutely not! We were just at the same place to have sex. We each had our own partner!”
Dane immediately joined him.
“Yeah, we just had sex together, no, I mean we had sex but we were just in the same place, we didn’t do it together. Got it? You understand?”
They had been bickering just moments ago, but Joshua immediately became an ally and started ranting.
“That’s right, all we did together was find someone at the club. We each found our own partner and did our own thing. I would never do it with him, really!”
“I’ve seen him go as far as five people, but he’s only done four. I know.”
At Dane’s words, Chase’s face turned blue. Joshua gritted his teeth, glaring at him and spitting out between his teeth.
“Thanks a lot……”
Looking down at Joshua grinding his teeth, Dane smiled nonchalantly.
“You’re welcome, who else but me would prove that you’re chaste?”
He wasn’t wrong. Compared to Dane Striker, who could say anyone wasn’t chaste?
“Chase, don’t listen to this bastard. Dane is just a born stud. If there’s a frog in front of him, he’ll sleep with the frog.”
“Hey, interspecies breeding, that’s too much……”
Dane protested, but Joshua ignored him and continued.
“You remember, right? When we got married, Laura and that guy disappeared together. What do you think they went to do? That’s the kind of guy he is.”
Chase’s heart wavered at the smiling face. He knew he shouldn’t, but he couldn’t help it. That’s what love is like.
But there was someone else who couldn’t just let it go. It was Grayson.
“Dane, what is this about? You slept with Laura too? Is that true?”
His face was pale as he shouted, looking like a tragic hero. Dane desperately tried to send a distress signal, but Joshua ignored him, pretending not to notice. In the end, Dane began to make excuses to survive on his own.
“It was just once, Grayson. The wedding was so boring, I was just trying to pass the time.”
“By having sex?”
Dane laughed at the immediate response.
“Sex is the best when you’re bored, don’t you think?”
At those words, all three pairs of eyes focused on him at the same time. Even Joshua was looking at him, which was absurd. Dane felt disgusted by the fact.
“What’s wrong with sex, huh? It’s good for your health. It’s a scientifically proven fact.”
He continued his pathetic excuses, looking at Joshua. As if to say, if you ignore me again, I won’t sink alone. Of course, Joshua understood.
“Being promiscuous is understandable.”
At the sudden change of attitude, the attention shifted to Joshua this time. Among them, the moment he saw Chase, who was turning pale again and glaring daggers, Joshua was flustered. Oh, no, I barely calmed him down.
Faced with the gazes of anger and suspicion directed at him again, he hurriedly began to make excuses.
“No, that was all before I met you…… After I had Pitt, I lived a chaste life too!”
Joshua shouted, feeling wronged, but Chase was already opening the door and going inside.
“You just wait. Chase, wait! Chase!”
Joshua, not forgetting to glare and warn Dane, hurriedly ran in, and the door closed.
Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet. Dane stood with his hands in his pockets, then looked up at Grayson.
“Still sulking?”
Dane asked with a smirk, and Grayson opened his mouth with a very upset expression.
“Dirty dick.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
Dane said casually, then arbitrarily grabbed Grayson’s hand and brought it to his chest. After tapping it twice, Dane let go of his hand and said nonchalantly.
“Okay, we’re done making up.”
“What……”
Grayson gaped in astonishment. As if to say, what is this all about? But there was no time to protest. Dane had already turned around and left.
“Dane, stop right there!”
Grayson shouted belatedly and chased after him. He caught up with Dane in a few steps and bustled beside him.
“That just now doesn’t count. Virginia and Venus are a pair. It’s only valid if they meet. In the first place, your Venus is mine, so you can’t just do this. This is very unfair……”
“Did you finish things well with your brother?”
Dane cut off the continuous stream of words. Suddenly, Grayson stopped talking. As a cool autumn breeze swept past, he said, “Well,” and swept back his hair.
“I apologized, but I don’t know. He didn’t say much.”
Grayson nodded at Dane’s question. He was worried that he might have scratched Chase’s feelings, but seeing that they came out together unharmed, it seemed that fortunately, nothing like that had happened.
‘I can’t believe it.’
Chase spat out with a cold face.
‘You’re just reciting what someone else told you. There’s no way you mean it.’
Then he said.
‘Get out, I don’t want to hear your bullshit. Don’t ever show up in front of me like this again, I don’t even want to see your face.’
That was all. Chase followed him to the front door as if to make sure he was leaving. And what happened next was the same as what Dane knew.
“So, what are you going to do?”
Dane asked after hearing the story. Grayson had become quite skilled at repeating his apologies so many times. The answer was already decided. He smiled briefly.
“I have to apologize again, until he accepts it.”
At those words, Dane blinked as if saying, “Oh,” and then smiled and stroked Grayson’s head.
“Good boy.”
“Right?”
Grayson tilted his head to the side as if he had been waiting for it. So that Dane could stroke his head more comfortably.
Dane chuckled and took his hand away, and Grayson immediately grabbed it and brought it to his mouth. He made eye contact with Dane, kissed his palm, and whispered.
“I love you, Dane.”
A smile lingered on Dane’s lips.
My puppy.
“Yeah, I know.”
Dane said, and Grayson frowned.
“You have to say you love me too.”
Dane just laughed as if he was dumbfounded. Just as Grayson was about to say something, he suddenly grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him in. Their lips touched, and a sweet kiss followed. Grayson closed his eyes in a daze and accepted the kiss. Feeling regret at the tongue that gently licked his lips and retreated, he lifted his eyelids again and saw Dane’s face looking up at him. But to Grayson, who was looking at him full of anticipation, he turned away without saying a word.
“Dane, what about saying you love me?”
Grayson shouted in embarrassment from behind, but he didn’t look back. At that sight, Grayson ran, shouting anxiously.
“Tell me you love me!”
Hahahaha, Dane’s cheerful laughter scattered through the cool breeze.
I love you, Grayson Miller.
My golden retriever with purple eyes.
