“I clearly told you I was fine. I said I could pick up the coat later. You’re the one who brought me all the way here, as if trying to make up for yesterday’s mistake, Commander.”0989b752cb023b6c

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.45cd29210f4d1a57

“Still, in the end, you were right, Commander. I ended up pulling another stunt like this.”30f7b44d040b70b7

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.724fee1412871ada

“Yes, sir.”717aa754e58ecc21

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.b58dbf290f798857

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.d566aa8f83a625c9

Afraid he might e89758abd6 get cheeky again, 85c13e9b9f Cayenne lied without 746b06f5e0 even wetting his d2a0d023a2 lips. But Jack, bd35410110 who saw 4b4e135b90 right through 2d8be38edb him, laughed a61683d216 softly.f5c22a914d181868

The languid 572430545f sensation that f831af1653 was melting b0b866538d his mind aac421cf86 disappeared in 9da3ebd0a7 an instant.

He felt like tearing his hair out. He was relentless. Despite being perceptive, he kept pushing when Cayenne clearly didn’t want to talk about it, making him wonder if it was a new form of harassment.27d47c85e647d494

Unable to contain d91c75cb3b the frustration rising 855ae72e35 from within, Cayenne 006a87fd2b grabbed the warm e4d60e566c towel on his 4e8d2a934d head and screamed 37dd71f992 like a madman. Jack, who had been 5560db0cfb calmly massaging his fingertips, 41299f4066 pouted.53ec1e852ecf9a24

“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…”bd90ede4baef5415

“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?”3da9fc4fbb2287e6

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.e3ffc62530c2d4c6

Cayenne was 819a4a049d about to 05a1d1acae threaten to 9399aceb67 cut him ded6370fc0 off when 8f955019bb he suddenly a70fcd9260 stopped at f0f953ffcd a strange 92cc16f468 sensation.

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.be443342447f2994

“This…”ded35c69c000a594

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.d409fd8ae527f7cf

“Is it unpleasant? I’m controlling it so it’s not too stimulating.”0284e6ccabeb85be

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.fd6930ea528df569

Stimulating?c710fbeda294c705

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.2788a20753ec15f2

“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.”f7271ef30de56416

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.0e9fea7b38022d9a

It wasn’t unpleasant, which made it all the more troubling. In the clear mind he couldn’t even remember the last time he felt, other nerves that had been numbed became acutely sensitive.0ade0c547d4a3d56

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.fbc79bc3938ec9ed
