hapter 0186 Harper rolled her eyes .<\/p>\n
Dont you ladies have anything better to do ? She asked .<\/p>\n
Folding her arms across her chest and narrowing her eyes .<\/p>\n
Chester grinned .<\/p>\n
Now Harper , no need to be jealous , he said , nudging her shoulder .<\/p>\n
You know you are still my favorite .<\/p>\n
Im not jealous , she retorted in a growl as she turned to face him .<\/p>\n
But flirting while at work has always been frowned upon .<\/p>\n
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 .<\/p>\n
My eyes grew wide as I watched Harpers face turn different shades of pink and red .<\/p>\n
Had they slept together the other night ? I wondered what the lure was here \u2026 something certainly interesting was happening in front of my eyes and I was way too curious about it .<\/p>\n
We werent working , she said through her teeth .<\/p>\n
Ineed to run to the store .<\/p>\n
Ill be back .<\/p>\n
She turned on her heel and hurried out of the kitchen looking mortified .<\/p>\n
I turned to Chester who was laughing and shaking his head .<\/p>\n
She embarrasses so easily .<\/p>\n
I dont get why .<\/p>\n
It was only sex , he said , still shaking his head .<\/p>\n
It wasnt that big of a deal .<\/p>\n
I folded my arms across my chest and watched as he maneuvered his way around the kitchen , cooking in a delicate fashion .<\/p>\n
Maybe to you , it wasnt a big deal , I told him .<\/p>\n
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 .<\/p>\n
Its not my fault she went back on her word , he said , shrugging .<\/p>\n
We said no strings attached .<\/p>\n
We were only scratching each others itch .<\/p>\n
Nothing more to it .<\/p>\n
Is that the kind of guy you are ? I asked him , raising my brows .<\/p>\n
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 .<\/p>\n
Want to find out ? He asked , his voice dropping sultry .<\/p>\n
Just as I was about to lean back and away from him , the door slammed shut , making Chester step away from me by instinct .<\/p>\n
Chester , I didnt hire you to flirt and talk .<\/p>\n
I hired you to cook , Gavins voice boomed across the kitchen , sending a chill down my spine .<\/p>\n
Chester had amusement in his eyes , but he didnt argue with his boss .<\/p>\n
Hed be stupid to do so .<\/p>\n
Yes , Alpha , Chester said as he resumed cooking .<\/p>\n
I chuckled as Chester quickly started to make our breakfast and Gavin sat beside me .<\/p>\n
Hes harmless , I murmured .<\/p>\n
Gavin rolled his eyes .<\/p>\n
Hes a guy and he only has one thing on his mind .<\/p>\n
Be careful around him , he murmured in return .<\/p>\n
I raised my brows .<\/p>\n
Do you only have one thing on your mind too ? I asked him .<\/p>\n
He shot me a look and it made the smile drop from my face .<\/p>\n
I couldnt really read the expression on his face , and it made my stomach twist .<\/p>\n
He was contemplating something as he studied my What exactly do you think this is ? He suddenly asked .<\/p>\n
Im sorry , what ? I asked in return .<\/p>\n
face .<\/p>\n
What do you think this is ? He repeated , but this time he motioned between the two of us .<\/p>\n
My cheeks burned at the question , and I had to look away from him ; I stared down at the counter .<\/p>\n
He spoke low enough that others in the kitchen hadnt heard , or if they had , they were pretending they hadnt .<\/p>\n
We are just having fun , I told him after a beat of silence .<\/p>\n
Right ? We are helping each other out and scratching an itch at the same time .<\/p>\n
He nodded thoughtfully .<\/p>\n
Right , he told me .noveldrama<\/p>\n
So , I guess that answers your question .<\/p>\n
