Chapter 186
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 .
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 .
