Chapter 135: The Chat

Nora: I need dirt on Demetri.

Ian Frost read the latest message in the group and almost spit out the coffee he had just sipped, wondering if he was hallucinating.

Seb, the one who lived on the edge, actually dared to question, "What kind of dirt are we talking about?"

Ian quickly closed the chat box and shifted to a private chat, "Are you tired of living? Why would Nora be asking for dirt on Demetri? It must be Demon checking out loyalty."

Seb: Do you really think that Demon is so free that he will do something like this?

Ian: It’s been a while since you have interacted with Demon. He’s become more dangerous.

Group chat Lucien: "Demon has no dirt, unless you count rumors about him playing for the home team."

Ian and Seb: "..." Lucien is brave...

Nora: Ha! Lucy, you are the best. Those rumors are baseless... I think. Let me go confirm with Demetri if he plays for both teams...

Ian and Seb: Their sister-in-law is brave too.

His fingers moving along swiftly on the screen, Ian messaged: Don’t do that! If you want dirt, the best person to ask about is Demetri himself.

Seb: But my dear sister-in-law, why exactly are you looking for dirt on the big brother? Did he offend you? Do tell us.

Gabe: Are you offering to kick his ass if he did?

Seb: Of course not! I will simply sympathize with my dear sister-in-law. I can even arrange for some ice creams or send some blankets for Demetri’s couch.

Ian: Focus, people. Nora, does Demetri know you are looking into his past? And have you tried asking him directly?

Silence. Ian almost bit his nails while he waited for a reply. Instead he and the others got a private message from the man himself warning," If any of you dares to put ideas in my wife’s head about my preferences, I will make sure that their next assignment is in a place where there is no light or air."

Ian did not hesitate to be honest to his brother and threw the youngest under the bus without hesitation: Lucy did it!

Nora grinned at the sudden silence in the group and then looked at Demetri. "It is very rude of you to actually read my messages and then threaten your brothers."

"And it is very polite of you to ask for dirt about me, isn’t it?" Demetri teased as he drew small circles on her arm as she chatted with his brothers.

"Well, then we will call this even. Next time, I’ll ask you directly and you will not read my chats. So, I was thinking something..."

Demetri raised an eyebrow at that. "This sounds dangerous."

"Hey! It is not. Since you were so kind as to fulfil my fantasy and be the naked chef, I wonder if you will entertain me about my other fantasies as well..."

"No." Demetri answered firmly, his tone brooking no argument.

"Hey! You did not even hear my fantasy! How can you be this mean?"

"Fine then. As long as said fantasy does not involve anyone me and your very delightful self, I will not be indulging you."

Nora giggled. He had really guessed accurately that she was going to tease him.

"You are too astute.", she complained.

"Yes. And you are very dangerous." Demetri complimented.

"So, why are you engaging in this shoddy detective work about finding the dirt in my past."

"It is not dirt per se that I am looking for. Mostly what to look out for as we get into the next part of our plan. The biggest threat that I had previously considered was Arabelle but Gabe is taking care of that. So, do you have any other suitors who are going to attack me once I enter the society as your wife."

"Anybody who values their life will not dare to create trouble for you."

Nora giggled and patted Demetri’s arm in return," Are you a split personality by any chance. Just now you were all relaxed and lazy and now, I can actually feel your muscles stiffen as you look ready to attack."

Demetri made a deliberate effort to relax and Nora smiled up at him," I’d still like to know."

"Fine. I will ask Assistant Ma to share the file with you."

"You have an entire file? Are you a player Demetri Frost? Dam* it! I should have remembered that still waters run deep! Of course, you look all quiet and calm, the epitome of a gentleman but you are sensational in bed. That cannot be without some practice."

"Are you complimenting me wife?" Demetri teased as he brought her closer, pecking her nose.

"How is being a player a compliment? I am simply berating myself over my bad judgement."

Demetri kissed her nose again and tried to pacify the little cute riled up kitted," Relax babe. There are not too many notches in my bedpost. The file will be of all the people I have been out with, the length and depth of my involvement and those who have been rejected by me. I think you will have to pay more attention to those people."

"Hmm. By the way, how did the rumours about you playing for the other team come into play? Tell me, I am curious."

"It’s because I refuse to have a female assistant."

"And why do you not have a female assistant. I mean you do have a secretary."

"It doesn’t matter if the assistant is male or female. I did get a few female assistants in the beginning. They were not able to handle my temper. Later I got Ma, and he is very efficient. I don’t need to look for anyone else."

"So you were very satisfied with Assistant Ma and that is why..."

Nora grinned and this time, stole a kiss herself as she said," Poor assistant Ma. How did he not resign! He was attacked from both sides! He had to handle your temper and the rumours."

"And what about the rumours that I had to handle?" Demetri mock- scowled.

"Poor baby! We’ll work hard to dispel the rumours. Don’t worry I will convince everyone that you are into women.
