Chapter 0186

Harper rolled her eyes .

Dont you ladies have anything better to do ? She asked .

Folding her arms across her chest and narrowing her eyes .

Chester grinned .

Now Harper , no need to be jealous , he said , nudging her shoulder .

You know you are still my favorite .

Im not jealous , she retorted in a growl as she turned to face him .

But flirting while at work has always been frowned upon .

Thats not what you were saying the other night , he said in a soft and breathy whisper , though the rest of us could hear him clearly .

My eyes grew wide as I watched Harpers face turn different shades of pink and red .

Had they slept together the other night ? I wondered what the lure was here … something certainly interesting was happening in front of my eyes and I was way too curious about it .

We werent working , she said through her teeth .

Ineed to run to the store .

Ill be back .

She turned on her heel and hurried out of the kitchen looking mortified .

I turned to Chester who was laughing and shaking his head .

She embarrasses so easily .

I dont get why .

It was only sex , he said , still shaking his head .

It wasnt that big of a deal .

I folded my arms across my chest and watched as he maneuvered his way around the kitchen , cooking in a delicate fashion .

Maybe to you , it wasnt a big deal , I told him .

But did you ever think that maybe it was a big deal to her ? He paused for a moment to look at me over his shoulders .

Its not my fault she went back on her word , he said , shrugging .

We said no strings attached .

We were only scratching each others itch .noveldrama

Nothing more to it .

Is that the kind of guy you are ? I asked him , raising my brows .

The guy who has mindless sex that doesnt mean anything ? He corked an eyebrow up at me and put his hands on the counter , leaning so close to me that his lips would be on mine if he were to move another inch .

Want to find out ? He asked , his voice dropping sultry .

Just as I was about to lean back and away from him , the door slammed shut , making Chester step away from me by instinct .

Chester , I didnt hire you to flirt and talk .

I hired you to cook , Gavins voice boomed across the kitchen , sending a chill down my spine .

Chester had amusement in his eyes , but he didnt argue with his boss .

Hed be stupid to do so .

Yes , Alpha , Chester said as he resumed cooking .

I chuckled as Chester quickly started to make our breakfast and Gavin sat beside me .

Hes harmless , I murmured .

Gavin rolled his eyes .

Hes a guy and he only has one thing on his mind .

Be careful around him , he murmured in return .

I raised my brows .

Do you only have one thing on your mind too ? I asked him .

He shot me a look and it made the smile drop from my face .

I couldnt really read the expression on his face , and it made my stomach twist .

He was contemplating something as he studied my What exactly do you think this is ? He suddenly asked .

Im sorry , what ? I asked in return .

face .

What do you think this is ? He repeated , but this time he motioned between the two of us .

My cheeks burned at the question , and I had to look away from him ; I stared down at the counter .

He spoke low enough that others in the kitchen hadnt heard , or if they had , they were pretending they hadnt .

We are just having fun , I told him after a beat of silence .

Right ? We are helping each other out and scratching an itch at the same time .

He nodded thoughtfully .

Right , he told me .

So , I guess that answers your question .
