Kiss Me If You Can [NOVEL] - Chapter 4

It was almost a week later that he rejoined the team. Meanwhile Josh had spent time with his family, bought some things for his son and made various repairs in his mother’s house, where he had spent much of his life, because it looked run down. He had to hammer all day to repair the house and then he removed the weeds from the garden and even pruned the tree that was on the property, he played with Emma on occasion and evicted a coyote. Finally the early holidays ended. He had spent the whole day with his family, but his heart sank when it was time to separate from his son. The boy always cried when he went to work and clung to his leg.

“Papa, papa.”

Josh was concerned. At other times he could see him at night or in the morning if Pete slept early, but this time it was different. He couldn’t see him for more than ten days. The more he thought about it, the more it hurt.

“Josh, it will be late. Come on.”

Josh’s mother came over. Josh accepted reality, which he could no longer postpone. Pete screamed and screamed, as soon as his grandmother picked him up. Josh walked forward with a pain in his chest as he heard his son’s screams, he went straight to the car, settled in and tears came out of his eyes.

His heart aches.

✤✤✤✤✤✤

“Yeah, it’s the hardest thing in the world.”

Mark barely nodded, they had met at a restaurant to celebrate their new job with breakfast.

“I’m glad I watched my children grow up, now they are older.”

There were many times when he was away from home for several months because of work, but now he has a son and the separations are difficult.

Issac and Henry were still single men, they only managed to eat their pancakes while keeping their distance from the topic of conversation. The waitress from the restaurant came over and asked what they wanted to order.

“Coffee, thank you.”

Josh already had breakfast at home, so he simply ordered a drink. The waitress smiled at him and when she returned, a short time later she took out a lot of cheap cream from her pocket and put it on the table, gave Josh a bold look and left, occasionally turning to look at him. Henry spoke:

“Put on a ring.”

Josh laugh.

Isaac poured maple syrup over the pancakes, cut a large piece, and popped it into Josh’s mouth.

“Let’s talk about things now,” Seth said.

All eyes went to Mark, he just managed to look around. There were few people in the restaurant because it was no longer time for breakfast.

“About a month ago a report came in and it was a warning about C. C is Chase and K is our abbreviation. If the client was a celebrity we should be cautious when referring to him, for his safety we will use the abbreviation C.”

The reason for the letter C was not a clear reference to the name Chase , it was referring to “crazy “.

“The FBI said they were investigating, but there are no clear leads yet. Of course the identity of the informant is unknown …”

“Why do they want to hurt him?”

Issac interrupted Mark’s words. Then, Henry next to him yelled:

“You are stupid? If you are looking for someone who wants to hurt him, the list will be immense. Anyone who knows him would like to kill him.”

No one refuted Henry’s words, Josh was silent sipping his coffee and Issac was expressionless. It was a natural reaction. Henry’s words were harsh, even if they were used to it by now.

Mark continued:

“Then I found out it was a group of fanatics who had formed a criminal organization, quite large.”

In reality, it was a religious group with many psychological disturbances regarding the utility of the dominant Alphas.

“Why would a criminal organization be interested?”

Seth asked and Mark answered him. Josh was about to ask too, but remained silent waiting for the answer.

“Why? Of course it is for money.”

Mark soon began talking about the colossal heritage of Chase and the Miller family.

“Do you know how much the dominant Alpha’s sperm sells for?”

“Sperm?” Issac asked.

Mark shook his head as he looked at Josh, and said:

“Yeah, the dominant Alpha kid everyone wants.”

Pete’s face passed over Josh’s head and his face turned pale. In a hurry to discourage his expression, he raised the coffee cup to his mouth. Meanwhile Mark continued speaking:

“If you get sperm from a Dominant Alpha, your next three generations may be Dominant Alphas. C’s sperm is of great quality.”

Suddenly, Seth speaks:

“But you say that Alphas control their sperm fertilization, right? Even if they were forced, it would not be possible to conceive a child.”

Mark replied to Seth:

“But there is another way, everyone knows what happens if an Alpha does not release pheromones in a period of time?”

“He’s going crazy,” Seth replied and Mark nodded.

Josh said:

“It only takes a few days to cage him and … he will become unreasonable.”

Everyone was silent. Dominant Alpha pheromones have certain benefits that make them very desirable to different people, but they have a disadvantage, it is poison if it accumulates for long periods inside the Alpha. Because of this, they constantly release pheromones from their body, not to say every day. In order to avoid the accumulation of pheromones, many dominant Alphas organize various orgies in order to release them.

Josh’s face was distorted just like the rest.

“But C didn’t have a party at his house?” Seth asked, it was a way of feeling relieved, but Henry refuted him.

“How many years ago was that? At that time I worked with him for about three or four months, so I remember him.”

Again everyone was depressed. Chase Miller, like many stars, used to be linked to different actresses or people who worked alongside him during filming, but when Josh worked with him, he observed that he liked being alone and quiet. At that time it was rumored that he had broken up with a woman with whom he was dating, because photos of her, dating another man were spread by the press creating different theories regarding the separation, but Chase was not even moved by the situation and the following 3 months he did not date anyone or attend any orgy party to expel pheromones from his body. Then when his RUT came in he became irrational and the accident with Josh happened, if Chase had been constantly expelling pheromones Pete would never have existed.

When Josh thought about everything that had happened, he was overwhelmed. What happened after that accident? He then left Chase’s escort and tried to avoid the news about him for a while, but unconsciously found out all about him. Everything that happened was too much to process. Josh stayed far enough away from Chase, but now the situation has changed, within the next 24 hours Josh will be facing Chase and worry invaded his mind.

How much has he changed?

Josh remembered the commercial he saw on the plane, remembered his look and his body.

It should look like this then.

“An orgy party is the biggest problem then,” Henry said, although the idea was shared by all.

Suddenly the appetite disappeared.

✤✤✤✤✤✤

Chase’s mansion was located on top of a country club, overlooking the beach. The stairs lead to the terrace where you can see the sea and all the surrounding areas were owned by Chase Miller, including a private beach. There was no other house around, just the constant sound of the waves.

“Welcome, I was waiting for you.”

As soon as he saw Josh’s team, the security company that had previously been in charge of security, he shook hands with notable relief.

“Everyone had to take a break, but I was nervous as the date was late. Because we have limits …”

The Gamma are usually the main guards of the Dominant Alphas because dominant pheromones often affect Betas and Alphas, turning them into Omegas. And since Gammas are hardly affected by the aromas of pheromones and are rarely damaged by them, they are highly specialized for this job. However, even the Gamma, cannot avoid absorbing pheromones through the skin, so it is common for them to receive injections that remove the pheromones accumulated in the body over a period of time or to take a long vacation. But this time there was a problem.

“Because I’ll retire …”

The face of the embarrassed team leader represented him.

Mark opened his mouth as if he understood:

“It must be difficult to find a team to replace them, because the Gammas have the smallest population.”

The team leader sighed.

“In the worst case, if we can’t replace the team, our team can return in six months.”

“In the meantime, I’d like to ask for your hard work.”

A few years ago, for a similar reason, Chase’s party was taken over by Josh’s team. At that moment, unfortunately, the guardian Gamma had changed. When he went on vacation, there was a gap in guard that led to a temporary emergency, which was the reason they were contacted. This did not appear to be a different situation. Josh wondered if a team could replace them in 3 months. Mark opened his mouth as if everyone had the same idea:

“Anyway, the longest term is 6 months, right? Better to be safe.”

“Yes … It won’t be any longer … maybe.”

The team leader nodded, leaving room for doubt.

As they moved alongside the team leader, they circled each of the locations that they would patrol in the future, often needing to be scanned. There should be no place that was unguarded. How could they be sure and if someone was hiding, what route would they take?

Finally, the woman who had met Josh’s eyes greeted him. She was a member of the bodyguard team preparing to leave. She was busy talking to other members of the team, they all looked very nervous. Maybe everyone would leave before sunset.

The prominent members of the team were full of expressions that said they wanted to leave the house without exception.

A sweet aroma was felt around. Josh seemed not to feel it and his companions seemed to be agitated. The Gamma team leader kept walking nonchalantly.

“Damn.”

Isaac was sweating a little from behind. They were all Alpha except Mark who is a Beta and Josh who is an Omega, however the temptation of the fragrance was strong enough to irritate even the Alpha members.

“Josh, are you okay?”

Isaac asked, as if he had noticed the anomaly.

Josh replied in a hurry:

“Yeah, I’m just a little nervous.”

Did I take inhibitors?

Josh couldn’t even remember it. Among these members Josh was able to hide his identity, because he was unaffected by Alpha’s pheromones due to his faint pheromone scent. Since the brand was recorded it had decreased more than before. Even before the mark, Josh felt no discomfort during his heat cycle, but it was that confidence that caused the accident with Chase.

“You’re all mine”

Josh remembered the meaning of those words.

If he was influenced only by pheromones in the environment, when he starts working, he will need to take twice as much as usual. No, he had to take approximately three times as much medicine. Because of the brand, perhaps Chase’s pheromone has more influence on him.

Team members walked dizzy, the previous team leader rushed in and said:

“There are the sweets we eat, they will dilute the pheromones that accumulate your body. It’s good to eat it while you work. We don’t know, but they said that the aroma of candy is so strong that it doesn’t allow you to smell pheromones.”

Everyone picked up the sweets that were in the team leader’s palm, one by one. Josh put all three in his mouth immediately. The plastic wrap around the candy was thin enough to be chewed and swallowed.

“Oh, it’s spicy …”

The team leader was embarrassed, but it was too late. The tip of Josh’s nose began to bother him and his eyes began to water.

Henry coughed and flicked his tongue as he turned to look at him.

“What are you doing?”

Isaac panicked and said:

“You’re good?”

Josh nodded strongly. He had lost the sensation in his mouth, but thanks to that, his mind was clear.

He was walking around the house, following the instructions of the team leader, but suddenly they were contacted by his wireless headset.

“Mr. Miller will be here soon. Let’s go, everyone.”

Everyone moved quickly, the new team following behind.

Finally, he would see him again. It wasn’t just the pace of the walk that made his heart race, Josh took a dizzy breath.

He remembers? How has he changed or stayed the same? How will I feel when I find him again?

As he crossed a large garden, the iron gate slowly opened in the distance, letting out a heavy sound. After that, the sedan appeared. Involuntarily he gulped. Suddenly the sedan stopped, Josh was still perplexed.

“He’s a paparazzi.”

A murmur appeared from the guards, the sedan door opened. And a man with shiny blond hair slowly slipped away. For a moment it caused the illusion that everyone had stopped. Maybe it was because Josh had forgotten to breathe, but time felt like eternity.

His natural blonde hair looked freshly brushed. With white skin that makes him look pure and innocent like an angel, but… on the contrary, he was haunting as if he had a wild heart. The reason was probably due to that cold gaze.

He seemed to be seeing something, he looked carefully around him. For a moment his eyes seemed to be in contact with Josh’s, but… of course, it was an illusion.

Afterward, his hair was swept away with his hand. When he raised his head, Josh noticed that his lips were red and there was a cigarette in the middle. His long fingers, square, manicured nails came into view. He withdrew the cigarette from his lips, holding it with his fingers. His body was tall and slim.

Chase’s eyes remained staring in one place and his eyes narrowed.

“Sir Miller.”

When the leader of the former security team approached urgently and tried to say something, suddenly a sharp sound was heard. Everyone panicked and suddenly, Chase smiled slightly. At that moment, Josh had the illusion that his heart was spinning out of control. Soon after, Chase started walking. They all held their breath and focused their attention on him. The graceful body moved gracefully and smoothly, as if swimming in the air. While they were fascinated watching him, Chase’s elegant hand reached into his suit jacket. He took something out. It was Josh who realized it was the Desert Eagle [a semi-automatic pistol] that Chase Miller loved.

“No idiot!”

Mark screamed urgently, the previous bodyguard team screamed and ran, and Chase spread his arms.

It was only a moment when he lost his mind. Chase was walking hurriedly taking great strides and a shot went through the canyon towards a man who took a photograph, without even allowing him to flee.

A pure bloodline born between a dominant Alpha and Omega. Thanks to this, the brothers and sisters of the Miller family, all are dominant Alphas with the exception of a dominant Omega, were nicknamed and compared to different animals. Among them, the first, a lawyer, like his father and the one closest to him, they called him “white snake”. The third son’s nickname is …

Taang!

… “Crazy dog” .

The Paparazzi lost the camera and stumbled, falling to the ground from the heavy impact. Pieces of the chamber and red blood appeared in all directions. Chase didn’t stop there and rushed closer to him, aiming straight for his face. When Josh saw him, he could tell that despite the years, Miller hadn’t changed at all.
