“Are you okay?!”
Bailey, who had been worried when Icanoth hadn’t returned for almost 30 minutes, ran over as soon as she saw him coming out of the bathroom. The face that had suddenly turned pale before entering was now bright red. To Bailey, it seemed even worse.
“This won’t do. Don’t you think you should go home for today?”
I couldn’t answer and just shook my head. My choked throat tingled. Only after drinking a few sips of water that Bailey brought could Icanoth barely speak.
“Edik-ssi was looking for you earlier. Explain the situation to him and try to go home early.”
“…For me?”
“Yes. He was looking for you for quite a while, saying you weren’t answering your phone.”
Bailey gave a worried look, concerned about what would happen if there was something else when I was already feeling unwell. Soon after, Edik, who had been surveying the party venue, walked up to Icanoth.
“Icanoth-ssi. Could we talk for a moment?”
I might have thought he looked like the grim reaper for a moment. Following him silently, Edik went outside to a place far from the party venue and held out a hotel key card.
“Andrea-ssi has instructed that you come to room 3101.”
I alternately looked at the key card he held out and his neat face before accepting it. The same key card as yesterday. A different room. Having delivered the key card, Edik seemed to think his job was done and disappeared into the crowd at the party, leaving Icanoth alone.
“Ha.”
It was like a hollow laugh, or perhaps a trembling breath escaping my mouth. I tightly gripped the key card in my hand. A normal card would have bent if not broken, but this one was unusually sturdy. Seeing only pain and marks left on my hand, I genuinely let out a hollow laugh this time.
Ah, so it’s going to end up like this again today.
But checking the time, it wasn’t even 10 o’clock yet. Since Andrea would have many people to meet at the party, I guessed he wouldn’t return until much later, giving me at least two hours alone. I could wash up, rest a bit, and collect myself… I couldn’t say it would make things better. It was merely a reprieve. I pressed the elevator button and closed my eyes. Upon reaching the 31st floor, I suddenly turned around to see the city spread out clearly below. It felt as distant as standing on a cliff.
The glass prevents me from jumping from here. Despite knowing this, the thought of taking a step forward flickered through my mind, making me quickly turn around and head toward room 3101. There were only four rooms per floor, and when Andrea rented one room, he would rent the entire three floors as well. Recalling this unsurprising fact, I passed through the quiet corridor. After confirming the number [3101] engraved in gold, I held the key card against the reader.
The lights inside were on. That wasn’t unusual, but I noticed a faint layer of pheromones lingering in the air. Without even having to wonder, as soon as I opened the door, Andrea Carp came into view.
“Why… are you here…”
“Because I told you to come here.”
My lips stuck together, unable to respond. Just seeing Andrea sitting on the bed was overwhelming, causing my gaze to repeatedly drop downward.
“Come here, Icanoth.”
“…”
His words felt like déjà vu from the previous night. Just like then, I approached hesitantly, and Andrea embraced me. After a brief silence, I heard him take a small breath.
“…Did you smell me?”
“I was checking if your scent was mixed with an alpha’s pheromones.”
A dominant alpha’s sense of smell was keen like a well-honed knife, unlike recessive ones or ordinary people. Though he hadn’t detected another alpha’s pheromones, Icanoth was a recessive omega who couldn’t easily retain others’ pheromones. If even a dominant alpha’s pheromones could be washed away, what about an ordinary person’s? Above all—
“Where did you wash up? You were gone for quite a while.”
My hair that hadn’t been properly dried was still wet. Hearing this, I unconsciously touched near my ear and noticed his gaze fixed on me. He was suspicious, and my action just added to his doubts.
“I just had a headache and broke into a cold sweat, so I washed my face.”
“If I had known Bjorn would be at the party today, I wouldn’t have left you alone.”
His response didn’t match my excuse. Andrea asked once more.
“Did you meet him?”
His voice clearly revealed his emotions, showing that he didn’t even like us being in the same space. Unable to back away, I felt tension pooling in my mouth. By now, it was impossible not to notice what Andrea was thinking.
“Andrea-ssi.”
“Icanoth.”
The words I was about to say were cut off by Andrea. His face, though bearing a smile, was resolute.
“Take off your pants and turn around.”
“…Nothing happened. We just ran into each other.”
“We’ll know after I examine you.”
“What?”
After questioning him, I couldn’t follow his order. I fidgeted nervously, sending anxious glances, and absurdly hoping to escape. Watching this reaction silently, Andrea stretched out his hand. His hand approached Icanoth suddenly and touched my belt buckle.
“…!”
“Would you prefer me to undress you myself?”
The hand pressing on the belt had no force behind it, yet it plainly revealed the imbalance of power. Andrea had no need to use physical strength. He simply needed to make eye contact and give an order in a gentle voice.
“…W-what are you asking me to do?”
“Lower your underwear too, turn around, and place your hands on the wall.”
His gentle voice carried a firm intention, as if telling me not to make him repeat himself. I bit my lower lip hard before placing my hand on the buckle. The thought that I wished I could just die right there passed briefly, but unable to delay any longer, I gritted my teeth and lowered my pants and underwear below my thighs. As soon as I turned around and placed my hands on the wall, two cold hands grabbed and spread my buttocks.
“Hnn—”
The breath I tried hard to suppress trembled pitifully between my lips. Andrea’s third and fourth fingers traveled past my tailbone and brushed between the dry skin. As expected of a recessive omega, it was a place that didn’t get wet easily. Of course, in the past, it would quickly become soaking wet and softly accept his fingers after careful touches, but now just slowly tracing the entrance caused the wrinkles to dampen.
“For an ordinary alpha, Bjorn’s pheromones are quite strong.”
“Ungh, ah, ah, ahh, hic.”
“He must have touched you here while releasing his pheromones.”
“No, n-no, I didn’t…”
One knuckle of his finger pushed in. With his other fingers, he rubbed the entrance while spreading the narrow interior. Not just the entrance, but inside was tight as well. As the heated inner walls tightly swallowed the intruder and narrowed, Andrea entered using two fingers, scissoring them inside.
“You seem to be getting wet more easily today. Did seeing Bjorn after so long immediately make you wet down here?”
“Uu, hauugh… uunh. Wup.”
While struggling to swallow even this much, I was getting so wet that by the time the fluid traveling down his fingers had dampened his palm, what had entered was withdrawn. After pulling out, he thrust back in at once. The loud, shameful squelching sound made Icanoth’s body crumble.
“Huk…! Hu… uu, huuk. Ha…”
As I began to slide down the wall, Andrea caught me by the waist and lifted my hips. With my upper body leaning forward and my waist pushed back, Andrea could more easily caress my insides. My trembling thighs pressed together, but Andrea spread them again until they were about shoulder-width apart. His touch, well-acquainted with my pleasure points, rubbed the mucous membrane in circles.
“It certainly doesn’t look like a hole that just took an alpha.”
“Huah… hic, uuungh… hic!”
“However, it looks like one desperate to take an alpha.”
When he pressed firmly against the swollen area, all strength left my legs below the knees. Though my body was essentially being held up, Andrea showed no sign of strain. While persistently rubbing one spot, he pinned me against the wall as I tried to escape. Trapped between his rock-like body and the wall, there was nowhere to run.
“Ah, ah, huuuu…”
My curled toes helplessly and precariously balanced. Even when I reached back to try to stop him, I barely grazed his wrist. Moreover, Andrea had no intention of loosening me up to insert his cock. He only stimulated the most sensitive parts, pushing his fingers deeper inside before scraping the inner walls as he withdrew them. After slowly probing a couple of times, he didn’t hold back. At his suddenly vigorous movements, Icanoth’s eyes widened.
“Huu, up, huk…! Huu, uuuu, ut—”
The electricity that rose from where his fingers touched sharply stabbed inside my stomach. My sagging spine curved into an arch. I tried to press my teeth against my lips to suppress sounds, but before I could, Andrea grabbed my hair. As my head was pulled back, my mouth opened wide. The unswallowed moans pleased Andrea.
“Ha… ah, huu, hu…!”
