Desire Me If You Can [Novel] - Chapter 47

“Hey…….”
Grayson, who had been looking around for Dane as soon as he got out of the car, shouted at his back, who had already gone a long way. He was about to grab him and ask him what his expression meant. Ezra found Grayson like that.
Why is he doing that?
He followed his gaze and was startled. All sorts of thoughts flooded into his head like a panorama in an instant.
It was clear that Miller was going to do something to Dane. He had kept them apart until now, so what was going on? Did he find out that Dane was the one who knocked him out in the fire that day? That’s ridiculous! He didn’t show any signs of that? Then why is he doing that? This isn’t the time to be doing this. First, we need to stop him!
Ezra, who had many thoughts in just a few seconds, ran forward and shouted urgently.
“Miller, Miller! Wait a minute!”
Suddenly, Ezra appeared and blocked Grayson’s path. Ezra forced a smile and spoke to Grayson, who had stopped in his tracks in an unexpected situation.
“Hey, can you help me? I have something urgent to do right now.”
“Why me?”
Grayson pointed around irritably.
“There are a lot of guys left over, let someone else do it.”
“Oh, no! It has to be you!”
Ezra grabbed Grayson, who was about to leave right away. Feeling like a cicada stuck to a tree, he started talking nonsense.
“Wow, you’re the biggest one among us. Do you know how much we all suffered today because of you? No, thanks to you, we saved the child, but anyway, don’t you think you have a responsibility too? Huh? You won’t? That’s bad. You shouldn’t live like that! People should help each other and depend on each other in this world, but what the hell are you doing….”
Grayson looked down at the grown man clinging to his arm, whining, with a bewildered expression. As if asking what the hell he was doing.
“Let go for now, I’ll help you later, so let go.”
“Nooo000000!”
“This…….”
Grayson almost swore, but it was already meaningless. Dane had already disappeared from his sight. “…… ha.”
Grayson let out a breathless sigh and stood there. Ezra also saw that Dane had disappeared safely and slowly relaxed his body. Grayson, who swept his hair back in annoyance, looked down at Ezra with a fierce expression. When Ezra stepped back in shock, he growled through his clenched teeth.
“So, what do you mean by request?”
Even his purple  eyes sparkled. Ezra backed away, feeling a sense of crisis that his bones would turn to dust if he said even one wrong word. Nevertheless, he felt the same murderous intent and let out an awkward laugh with a cold sweat.
“Oh, over there, what was that…….
He looked around, but there was nothing else he could do. After confirming that his colleagues who were of no help were just blankly staring, he had no choice but to look back at Grayson. Ezra laughed at Grayson, who was still glaring at him with a cold face.
“I, I forgot. Wahahahaha!”
“This……..”
The moment Grayson clenched his fist, Ezra ran away faster than ever. Grayson, who was left alone, shook his head in disbelief and kicked the fire truck’s tires with a curse.
“Anyway, just be moderate.”
The rescue worker who gave Dane some cream to apply on his bruised chest lightly scolded him. The injury he had sustained in the fight with Santiano’s father had been evident since the car ride back home after finishing everything. Fortunately, it didn’t seem like a broken bone, but he had quite a few bruises, so it seemed like he would have a headache for at least a few days. When he came out after receiving the cream that was supposed to relieve the pain and help the bruises fade, the guys who had gone out with him were already gone.
They must have gotten off work, of course.
Dane also wanted to go home and rest right away, but he had to wash off his body because he was covered in dust. It would have a very bad effect on Darling, who would rub her body against Dane as soon as she got home.
Dane stuffed the cream into his pocket and headed straight to the shower room.
Grayson sat on the locker room bench and glared at one side in annoyance. The other guys had already finished showering and left. Except for Grayson and one other person.
Dane Striker.
Luckily, Grayson found out that Dane had gone to the paramedics to get treatment. And he hadn’t shown up yet. Grayson could have waited as long as he wanted. Time was abundant.
What on earth was that expression? Grayson made up his mind and waited for the door to open. But. Grayson stopped and turned his head at the faint sound of water. He waited quietly, holding his breath, and his ears perked up as they detected the sound.
Someone was in the shower.
He stopped for only a second or two. He soon realized the situation. Damn Dane Striker was headed straight for the shower. Naturally, Grayson headed for the shower. As he walked briskly, almost running, the questions he had been thinking about kept flooding his mind. Ten steps, five steps, one step.
When he finally threw open the shower door, the sound of rushing water hit his ears right away. The only stall in the empty shower room with steam rising was the one furthest from the entrance.
Grayson crossed his arms and stared at it. Beyond the single-swing door that barely covered his chest and thighs, Dane Striker was washing himself. Grayson waited patiently. Until he had washed his whole damn body.
Dane took a crazy long time to wash. So much so that he wondered if he knew Grayson was waiting and was doing it on purpose.
He rubbed the shampoo provided in his hands until it foamed and rubbed his head for a long time, then when he was done, he started to scrub his whole body. Grayson checked his watch several times in frustration. He wanted to open that ridiculous swing door and grab him by the collar and drag him out, but unfortunately Dane was naked.
He didn’t have a collar to grab, so he had to grab his neck. When he was seriously thinking about it, Dane locked the door as if he had noticed his thoughts.
Only then did Grayson straighten his body, which had been leaning against the door, and watch him come out. Dane grabbed the top of the swing door, which suited his tall height, and opened the door. First, his long legs were revealed, then his firm thighs, and then his entire body. Grayson saw Dane Striker, who had turned around with his naked body completely exposed, without any intention of covering up his body, as if he thought he was alone.
“You, what the hell was that………”
The moment he had been waiting for had finally come. Grayson opened his mouth to say what he had been collecting in his head. And then he stopped.
