It was a question too late to ask, but Dane couldn’t help it. Joshua seemed to think the same, yet readily answered.
“Of course. Did you think I’d call you out of the blue just to crack some lame jokes?”
“That’s true.” Dane reluctantly agreed, but his face twisted.
“Are you out of your mind?”
Joshua burst into laughter on the other end. The clear laughter might have been irresistibly tempting to others, but sadly, it didn’t work on Dane. Joshua, still with laughter in his voice, said to Dane, who was still frowning,
“I’d like to say I’m sane, but well, maybe you’re right.”
Dane didn’t say anything to the ambiguous joke. Getting rid of the troublemaker right in front of him was too tempting a proposal. Joshua was clean with his work, and he wasn’t the type to recklessly jump in without thinking, so there would be no danger. He had promised that Dane wouldn’t be harmed, and the reward was guaranteed. It was a proposal with nothing but benefits, no losses.
The problem is that guy.
However, the biggest obstacle was that the other party was Grayson Miller. They were so distant that he couldn’t even say he knew him, but he knew it instinctively. It’s best not to get involved with that bastard as much as possible. If even a small grudge were to arise, he would surely chase after him until he died and retaliate. He was definitely a very troublesome type. Dane didn’t know why Chase Miller would do this to his brother, but Grayson Miller wouldn’t just sit still and take it. He already had a headache because of that bastard, and now he’s getting involved again?
“Forget it, I won’t do it.”
“What?”
Joshua’s flustered voice was heard, but Dane didn’t waver.
“I don’t feel like it. Don’t worry, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear anything about this.”
He had already repaid the debt for Joshua saving his life. Dane recalled how fortunate that was. If he had been asked to repay that debt now, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to refuse.
Josh must be regretting using that one chance so carelessly right now.
“Dane, think about it one more time.”
“No, forget it. I’m out.”
As expected, Joshua didn’t give up and tried to persuade him again, but Dane immediately backed away.
“Let the Miller family handle the Miller family’s affairs. I don’t want to get involved.”
At the firm refusal, Joshua was silent for a moment as if contemplating, but that time wasn’t long. He seemed to be thinking of various things to persuade Dane, and then he let out a short sigh as if he had given up and opened his mouth.
“Okay. Take care, Dane.”
“You too.”
After a brief greeting, Dane hung up the phone. It was quite a shame that Darling’s health check-up was canceled, but there was nothing he could do. Good job, getting involved in that would definitely only lead to trouble. Dane thought so and checked the time, and it was already past 1 o’clock. He put the beer he was about to drink back in the refrigerator and headed to the bedroom, and Darling followed, circling around his legs.
One year will pass quickly, so it’s okay.
Thinking that, he picked up the cat and lay down on the bed. The cat in his arms purred and snuggled in. Feeling the warm body temperature, Dane fell asleep before long.
Desire Me if you can
Yeah, it’s not really necessary.
Grayson thought as he drove home himself. It hasn’t been long enough for Pheromones to build up. He can skip a few months.
He realized for the first time that having to have sex when he was so uninterested was torture. He remembered Keith, who had said a long time ago, “I’m sick of sex.” He said that he had no choice but to do it because he would go crazy or suffer brain damage if Pheromones built up. He was already married and had two children.
He’s always had sex out of a sense of duty, so he must be very comfortable now that he doesn’t have to attend Pheromone Parties.
He sped up, feeling sarcastic for no reason. Suddenly, he realized that he had completely forgotten that he had become a firefighter to find someone destined for him.
‘You impotent bastard!’
Suddenly, Frankie’s shout echoed in his mind. He frowned and looked down at one of his thighs. As expected, it was still quiet. It’s ridiculous to say that he’s become impotent. He had been sleeping with women without any problems just a few weeks ago.
“Fucking hell.”
He cursed and slammed his hand on the steering wheel. He must just be going through a slump. Grayson tried to think lightly of it and move on. It’s just a minor incident. Once he finds his partner, Grayson will also stop this meaningless excretion like Keith, and everything will return to normal. Yeah, he just needs to find them quickly.
Perhaps with the pessimistic prediction that this thing might not react until he finds that partner.
Desire Me if you can
……was bullshit?
Grayson blankly stared at the back of the man who was climbing the ladder and putting up a birdhouse.
“Hey, Dane! Wait a minute, I think it needs to go further to the right?”
Ezra, who was standing a few steps away from Grayson, shouted. Dane clicked his tongue briefly and moved the birdhouse to the right.
“Is that it?”
“More, more!”
As Ezra shouted, Dane grumbled quietly but moved the birdhouse further to the right as he was told.
“Okay, that’s it!”
As Ezra spoke, another guy came up, stroked his chin, and muttered.
“Isn’t that too far?”
“Shhh, be quiet. Dane might throw that birdhouse at your head.”
Grayson ignored the quiet whispers and watched Dane. The handsome man with red hair was standing in a firefighter’s t-shirt and uniform pants, fixing a birdhouse to a tree.
Every time he moved his arm, the shirt pressed down by the suspenders was pulled, revealing the muscles in his back. Each time, Grayson unconsciously held his breath. Below his broad shoulders and slender waist, he was wearing those damn baggy uniform pants, and because of the nature of the clothes, it was essential to wear suspenders to prevent them from falling down. Thanks to this, the firmly fixed pants were baggy, and he couldn’t see any lines at all, but Grayson kept letting his eyes wander to his ass.
“This is ridiculous.”
Grayson muttered quietly. For me to be standing here looking at a man’s back like this is absurd.
“Hey, Miller.”
Ezra, who had been watching Dane from the side, inadvertently turned around to look at Grayson and was startled. His gaze was fixed on one of Grayson’s thighs. Grayson knew it too. He could feel it by the weight, even without having to check with his eyes.
Damn it, am I getting hard right now?
“Th, well, I don’t think I’m mistaken…….”
Ezra kept trying to say something. Damn it, shut your mouth! Grayson wanted to scream, but he was so dumbfounded that he couldn’t even sigh. To get excited looking at the back of a man wearing those baggy uniforms. Yesterday, he had held a naked Omega and was covered in Pheromones, but he hadn’t reacted at all. Could this damn Virginia be crazy?
Absurdly, he used to call his penis Virginia. Worn out as it is, daring to, not knowing its place.
Others would think Grayson was crazy if they knew, but of course, he didn’t care. That’s because his Virginia was swelling up and complaining of pain right now.
