Desire Me If You Can-Chapter 38
〈Chase Miller is your partner. Can I eat you?〉
When she was filming the same movie as Chase, Grayson's younger brother, Naomi asked him that jokingly. Of course, she didn't really intend to seduce him. She was already satisfied enough with Grayson.
〈Please do that.〉
However, Grayson's answer was unexpected. Grayson laughed with genuine delight. Naomi was puzzled after hearing his answer. Does this man not have obsession or jealousy? That's what she thought, but Grayson also added that it's a good thing you're a beta. He also told her why. It would be difficult if you leave a mark or something.
Naomi made a mistake at that moment.
〈Why?〉
At least she shouldn't have asked that question. But at the time, Naomi was so full of affection for that piece of trash that she let her guard down. He knew all too well that men were always looking for a chance to hit him in the back of the head.
Grayson burst out laughing and said this.
"You have to distinguish between the person you have sex with and the person you marry."
The feeling of his blood cooling at that time was still vivid. The meaning of Grayson's words was so clear. Naomi was a person he would have sex with, but not a woman he would seriously marry. What an arrogant man. He didn't know whether his confidence was based on his noble, alpha bloodline or because his family was so great. Naomi would never forgive the person who had hurt her high self-esteem so much.
I'm going to see that son of a bitch cry and suffer.
How many years had passed since he had spent gritting his teeth like that? Grayson began to talk about fate again. This time, he was at the fire station. That was news that was as exciting and delightful as when he had been nominated for Best Actress. Naomi had already won that glorious award at the Oscars before. This time, it would be the same. Her heart pounded. What could be more joyful than seeing Grayson Miller get so badly hurt?
A thrill of joy coursed through her body. She clenched her fists and shook them, then quickly searched her phone again. This time, it was time to find out where Grayson was struggling. She dialed the speed dial number, and after a few beeps, a sleepy secretary answered the phone.
“Yes, it’s me. Sorry for being late.”
- No, what’s the matter?
Her secretary answered the call diligently, even late at night. Naomi felt a little sorry, but couldn’t hold back her business. With the opportunity to screw Grayson Miller right in front of her, she couldn’t afford to delay even for a moment.
“I have someone I need to see urgently. I heard he’s a firefighter, but I don’t know which fire station he’s at. Can you come and find him as soon as it’s light?”
Naomi waited quietly while the secretary found a pen and paper. When the secretary finally said she was ready, she took a deep breath and finally said the name.
“Grayson Miller.”
She felt the secretary hesitate at the name. Naomi smiled brightly and added.
“Yes, that’s right. Grayson Miller, the second son of the Miller family.”
The secretary asked her, who nodded.
- Do you just have to find it?
“Okay, I’ll take care of the rest.”
Naomi added a friendly greeting.
“I’m sorry for always being so selfish, thank you.”
- Don’t worry, I’ll claim the special allowance.
The secretary hung up the phone, her joke being serious. Naomi smiled and took out her checkbook and wrote out a check for the secretary. When she finally signed it, her face was brighter than ever with anticipation for the future.
At the same time, in another place, another Miller was talking about this incident.
“A firefighter? Grayson? Your brother Grayson Miller? He became a firefighter?”
It was around that time that Joshua Bailey received a call from his partner Chase Miller. They were staying in another state for work, so they often talked on the phone to check on each other’s affection, but this day there was something special. It was news about Chase’s brother, Grayson Miller.
He got a job, and at the fire department.
When Chase said that, Joshua couldn’t believe it, so he asked himself several times in a raised voice without realizing it. On the other end of the phone, Chase answered in a twisted tone.
- Yeah, that son of a bitch. What the hell is he thinking? The most selfish guy in the world would have the most selfless job in the world. He must be crazy. Yes, he must have lost his mind because of the pheromones. That must be it.
Listening to the emotionally charged curses, Joshua had a completely different thought. Why a firefighter? Was this fate?
“Do you know which fire station?”
At Joshua’s question, Chase searched his memory and recalled what Koi had said. After hearing the answer, Joshua was sure this time. This must be a revelation.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
And a fire station. How appropriate. Like fate.
“Chase.” fгeewebnovёl.com
Taking advantage of the pause on the other end, he called his name and lowered his voice meaningfully.
“I have an interesting idea. What do you think? Do you want to hear it?”
- What do you think?
Joshua asked again, still in a sullen voice.
“Do you remember what I promised you before? I said I would kidnap that kid if you wanted it.”
Suddenly, there was silence. Joshua smiled, naturally recalling Chase’s frowning, holding his breath.
“Yeah, that’s right. It’s time.”
Joshua added, deliberately leaving a pause.
“It’s time to repay your debt.”
A deep breath could be heard from the other side. Another tense silence flowed before Chase finally spoke.
- So, what should we do first?
Joshua opened his mouth, smiling contently as he heard a voice faintly trembling with anticipation.
“The first thing to do is to find a helper.”
- Helper?
“Yeah.”
Joshua nodded at Chase’s repeated words and said.
“I know a firefighter.”

The branches of the tall tree swayed briefly. Dane Striker, who slowly moved up the ladder, immediately stopped and looked around. After confirming that the tree was quiet again, he walked forward again.
At the end of a precarious branch that looked as if it would snap at any moment, a wounded cat was crouching down and staring at him with its fur standing on end. Its small body trembled anxiously, its fur stained with dust as if it had suffered from being out of the house, and its sharp yellow eyes. All the signs the cat gave were that it was full of fear and caution.
As Dane slowly approached, the cat sat firmly on the precariously swaying branch and meowed, “Meow.”
“It’s okay, good boy. Come here.”
For some reason, it had climbed high, but it couldn’t come back down. Its small chest was rising and falling rapidly. Dane didn’t rush. Dane’s voice was full of kindness as he tried to persuade the cat. The agents who were watching him from under the tree as he clicked his tongue and approached the cat opened their mouths.
“That’s really interesting. That cynical guy is incredibly affectionate to animals.”
Someone nodded in agreement.
“That guy beats people, but not animals.”
“That’s all? He almost went to jail for beating the owner who set fire to the house with his dog inside.”
“It’s fortunate that he only paid a fine. If he had set fire to the house with a person inside, he wouldn’t have been beaten to that extent.”
“No, he might have beaten him for being a nuisance. He’s still a guy who would have gotten away with it.”
“I don’t know. Well... ... He probably doesn’t want to go to jail. He has a cat.”
Grayson, standing a little distance away from his colleagues who were talking nonsense, looked at Dane with a frown.
What is he doing now, that ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) guy.
