Jack Carlson was oddly meticulous in unnecessary matters. Cayenne, who was trying to shift the blame onto Jack’s gaze, found himself at a loss for words at Jack’s straightforward response and bit the inside of his lip. As expected, the unnecessarily perceptive pervert didn’t let even that small mistake slide.d93d34249a707e63

“Still, in the end, you were right, Commander. I ended up pulling another stunt like this.”72d097f418c9fd43

The hand that had been pressing down on his palm with fingertips slowly slid to the inside of his wrist. The intention behind the fingers stroking the thin skin was clear. The tickling sensation made Cayenne’s brow furrow again.8dfc926d11143304

“Yes, sir.”250fceb9c1ffa9e5

Jack immediately returned his hand to its original position. Then, with not too much force, he pressed the hollow of Cayenne’s palm and massaged his fingertips. There was a sense of danger that it could turn into a lecherous touch at any moment, but the sensation of the accumulated fatigue easing made Cayenne allow it up to that point.7c0f3633319fad6c

Jack seemed more suited to being a personal masseur than a secretary. He handled the fallen condition well. The warm towel for the dizziness and the pressure on his fingertips without pain were just right. Soon, a languid sigh escaped, and both his body and mind relaxed. He knew he shouldn’t fall for this, knowing that perceptive snake could find a way in at any moment, but the comfort of his melting body couldn’t be helped. The headache subsided, and sleep naturally began to take over.ed6da8c4ee1a8166

Afraid he might edd08a8f85 get cheeky again, 1da679aa54 Cayenne lied without 909d7a6a48 even wetting his da2c76bfb1 lips. But Jack, 88658d4dab who saw b97442bdae right through cc4251694a him, laughed 8c3f60c93c softly.38e421d46bea0695

This guy, really… Cayenne growled at Jack’s words, which sounded like mockery. Despite his large size, he was like a puppy with a hundred levels of perceptiveness, making it impossible to hide anything.d3514829f33aa93e

“You said that’s why you moved from the White Knights Order to this side. If it’s that bad, it’s really not good. I haven’t seen you use it recently, but if there are side effects…”c5b3a3d797ceb9c1

“Do you think I just started using it yesterday? The side effects are chronic, so there’s nothing I can do. Even if I only use it when symptoms arise, I have headaches regularly, and occasionally, like yesterday, I have dizzy spells. That’s why I couldn’t stay with the White Knights Order and came here. Is that enough, Secretary? Is your curiosity satisfied now, damn it?”493bb703a0e09c0f

Cayenne, bursting with frustration, spoke rapidly. Jack listened with a peaceful demeanor, as if he were receiving some great information. Jack, who even caught the last curse word, said, “Oh, I see.” While Cayenne was about to explode from Jack’s persistence, Jack’s relaxed response made Cayenne grind his teeth in irritation.1bda30c4066ff6b5

Cayenne was about 758b3ebab3 to threaten to dcc68b3d28 cut him off f0d5807b10 when he suddenly b8c9aff992 stopped at a 524c988ac1 strange sensation. Jack, who acaf844b97 had been 2577604900 holding his 635cf2511e hand instead 545df8d178 of massaging d09141e5bc it, blinked, 37089daade wondering what 5d3edbdcce was wrong.69ba68db9180f698

A strange scent tickled his nose. It was a sharp scent he had never smelled in the bedroom before. It was like mint or the scent of trees in a forest. But it was a clear, cool scent that couldn’t be definitively described, and it calmed his mind with an unfamiliar sensation.8c0ac63a22faebb8

“This…”f85a8892439e6817

He vaguely remembered. The peculiar scent that was hard to define felt familiar, and he realized it was the same scent he had sensed in the warehouse when he met Jack. Back then, the same scent had cleared his mind, which was muddled by cigarette smoke and the sedative’s effects, leaving him with a strange feeling.eec5b3b4bb1dbd49

“Is it unpleasant? I’m controlling it so it’s not too stimulating.”39615adc94a57f33

Jack, misunderstanding Cayenne’s sharp expression as a reaction to the alpha pheromones being too stimulating, hurriedly explained. Cayenne couldn’t add more words and closed his mouth. Unintentionally, his troubled expression showed on his face. The sharp and strangely sweet scent that had been piercing his nerves disappeared like a mirage in an instant.272bbd99ae2794af

Stimulating?523b3ca9b2bdd6e7

No, it was the complete opposite. The mint-like sharp scent surprisingly eased his headache, and the sweet end note provided a peculiar sense of calm. Jack’s pheromones, which he confidently claimed to be controlling, were not stimulating but rather weakened the side effects of the sedative that had clung to him like a curse. Far from being stimulating, his mind felt clear for the first time in a while.86f5a0add71a4835

“If the sedative’s side effects to calm the heat are the issue, I thought maybe alpha pheromones could help. I’m sorry if it was unpleasant.”44c7fa6ac0719e7e

When Jack, who had completely misunderstood, withdrew his pheromones without waiting for a response, the temporary calm was replaced by a heavy headache. Unconsciously, Cayenne gripped Jack’s hand tightly. Jack blinked blankly at the sudden firm pressure of the hand holding his.2beeb8934b164b85

Jack looked at Cayenne with a puzzled expression. Along with his voice, the warm sensation of a palm covering the back of his hand was felt. Cayenne realized belatedly that he was gripping Jack’s hand tightly and that Jack had covered it with his other hand.31e8c883050d66af
