“It’s because you keep being so persistent…”d7f7abc115aeee4a

“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.”3f6d894700ca37e6

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.f96b69db495c6718

“Still, in the end, you were right, Commander. I ended up pulling another stunt like this.”8bce37842ed2afc4

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.01d17699d423755b

“Yes, sir.”166cbafd4e0df8ea

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.7f11dfdcbe609548

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.ccc378ac48588b1f

Afraid he 638a198a71 might get 55a424c5e9 cheeky again, 24115de25e Cayenne lied a9359f7ceb without even 4f22bd67bd wetting his b0993ff127 lips. But Jack, bcff27bac8 who saw ff08d35d88 right through 2d0155d092 him, laughed e3ec843037 softly.3962a9104d5c9b81

The languid sensation that 41e4771200 was melting his mind 21891103b3 disappeared in an instant. The hand that b9b2db9cd8 had been pleasantly d993b56c58 rubbing his palm 77032dadd7 stopped.

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.e1c88629234673fa

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.a12c05ea221696e6

“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…”f132f78c47227f0d

“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?”0eb9d92dc0012a37

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.2c90cc397a9d662f

Cayenne was about 60831d0610 to threaten to e38fc3f51d cut him off 61fdccb350 when he suddenly aacd9b5f7a stopped at a 357c5b02d0 strange sensation. Jack, who had been bf83fab3f7 holding his hand instead 32057477b6 of massaging it, blinked, 63763e8b3c wondering what was wrong.026d40f1d1c37b44

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.84e07a7b360a8a17

“This…”1c28ccb74692d985

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.e27dfe0f52141fe6

It’s Jack’s alpha pheromones. Cayenne frowned deeply, caught between discomfort and comfort.50c28d8790232918

“Is it unpleasant? I’m controlling it so it’s not too stimulating.”d7721e595ed1fdbd

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.dfa686caacba56f6

Stimulating?b3ea72430fd9b811

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.d5f1e43abc0082cc

“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.”d0aa75de223ed0b6

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.49d0966641772583

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.fc7ec0797ff3d940
