Jin-ha rushed to stand in front of the mirror, staring at his status ailment information with a shocked expression, and failed to hear Riyekan approaching.
“What’s wrong?”
Riyekan grabbed his wrist. Jin-ha was about to say something to the man who had come up close beside him, but the sight before him made his breath catch and he closed his mouth. An intense impulse, as powerful as his wildly beating heart, surged up toward the man before him.
He felt that if he opened his mouth now, unwanted words might spill out. Reason and instinct were boiling together in turmoil.
Right now, he wanted to slip his hand inside Riyekan’s open collar and feel the smooth skin beneath. He wanted to confirm the texture of each defined muscle, rest his cheek against that broad chest, and sink his teeth lightly into those wide shoulders. No, that was a lie. In truth, he wanted to bite down hard enough to leave a mark.
The sight of sweat soaking through that tanned skin, glistening in the sunlight, was unbearably stimulating. The thought of removing that troublesome tunic wouldn’t leave his mind. No, not just the tunic, but the pants covering Riyekan’s lower half as well. This time, after both were completely naked, pressing their bodies together…
Ah, no. How far was he going to take this thought?
But wouldn’t just a kiss be okay? Yes, he had reason to grab Riyekan’s dick and stroke it. Hadn’t he promised to take responsibility?
If he pretended not to know about the promise, he would lose Riyekan’s trust. So, so he should first lick that sharp jawline, then down to the firm neckline below it, and finally bite down hard on the collarbone when he reached it, leaving teeth marks as a signal to start…
The moment desire erupted from his chaotically entangled mind and overflowed, he almost lunged at the man before him.
“Lee Jin-ha!”
If Riyekan hadn’t grabbed his shoulders and called out to him, he certainly would have.
“What’s wrong? Did something happen over there?”
The man gripped Jin-ha’s shoulders and firmly held his chin between thumb and forefinger, bringing his face close and making eye contact. The man’s lips, looking at him with a serious expression as if telling him to focus, seemed terribly delicious.
Jin-ha, just before his thin thread of reason snapped, squeezed his eyes shut.
“Medicine…”
“Medicine?”
“In my bag downstairs… there’s medicine. I need to… I need to take it right now…”
“Legas!”
Legas, hearing his name called, hurriedly left his position.
Heat was spreading from Jin-ha’s captured shoulders and chin. Though it was just meaningless contact, it felt excessively hot and stimulating to Jin-ha. He pushed Riyekan away and slumped to the floor. He needed to run away right now, no, he needed to kiss Riyekan, no…
The endless contradictions confused him. Riyekan, watching Jin-ha gasping, grabbed him. Jin-ha instinctively resisted.
“Lee Jin-ha! I’m just trying to move you to the couch. Stay still, it’s dangerous.”
Riyekan easily lifted the struggling Jin-ha. Jin-ha clenched his teeth and made a growling sound. Riyekan was acting recklessly, not knowing how dangerous Jin-ha was right now.
Even Jin-ha himself didn’t know how deep the desire raging inside him, leaning on instinct, truly was. If he accidentally lit that fire, he might not be able to stop even if Riyekan wanted to end it.
Wouldn’t that be almost rape? Each time desire surged, Jin-ha forcefully tried to push Riyekan away.
After taking a few steps, Riyekan clicked his tongue and, as if annoyed, firmly grabbed Jin-ha’s limbs to restrain him.
“Nngh…!”
As the area of bodily contact increased, so did Jin-ha’s impulses. He clutched Riyekan’s shoulders tightly, trying to push him away, and panted. Though he knew this was wrong, unbearable desire pushed at his back.
The hand gripping Riyekan’s shoulder suddenly slipped, and before he realized it, he was already embracing Riyekan’s neck tightly. Jin-ha rested his forehead against Riyekan’s neck and clenched his teeth.
He mustn’t lose his reason. Jin-ha shook his head, trying to clear his mind.
‘Huh…?’
An intoxicating scent brushed his nose. The moment he sensed that deep fragrance, like that from burnt incense wood, Jin-ha could no longer resist.
“Lee Jin-ha?”
Riyekan sensed acutely that the emotion in Jin-ha’s touch had changed. The trembling hands that had been filled with tension suddenly became sticky. One hand gently rubbed his shoulder before moving to his nape, while the other lightly caressed Riyekan’s cheek.
Their lips met immediately.
Though surprised, Riyekan willingly opened his mouth. Jin-ha licked Riyekan’s tongue with somewhat rough movements. Riyekan, feeling Jin-ha’s hot breath warming his lips, slowly walked toward the couch.
Jin-ha’s movements with his eyes closed were desperate. The sight of him not knowing what to do with his excitement was worth watching. Riyekan, still carrying Jin-ha, lightly squeezed his thigh. At the twitching response, he too was gradually becoming aroused.
“Lee Jin-ha, tell me what you want.”
“…Hnn…”
“Come on. You’re an adult, right? If you want something, you should know how to say it properly.”
His languidly narrowed eyes were moistened. Though they had only kissed, without doing much else, he already seemed tired.
Riyekan sat on the couch first and placed Jin-ha facing him on his lap. As soon as the position became comfortable, Jin-ha lunged toward him.
Riyekan gathered Jin-ha’s hands behind his back and held them with one hand to prevent him from tiring himself out unnecessarily. Jin-ha, now in a position as if thrusting out his chest, shook his shoulders and squirmed slightly before glaring at him with defiant eyes.
“Answer.”
“Pheromones…”
“Pheromones?”
“Cover me with your pheromones…”
It was the only seductive idiom Jin-ha had learned in this world. Riyekan burst into laughter at the unexpected words.
“Lee Jin-ha, you really aren’t in your right mind now.”
He said with a voice tinged with laughter.
“You’re just like an omega in heat.”
As he spoke, Riyekan buried his nose in Jin-ha’s neck and deeply inhaled his scent. While carefully reconfirming a suspicion that had arisen, Jin-ha twisted his body several times, unable to bear it.
Last time, he had mistakenly smelled a strangely sweet scent and confused it with omega pheromones, but in fact, it was rare for a dominant alpha to misidentify another’s pheromones. Especially when deliberately checking like this, it was almost absolutely accurate. Despite being highly aroused, he couldn’t sense any omega pheromones from Jin-ha at all.
That was a relief. As expected, Jin-ha wasn’t an omega.
If so, there was nothing to hold him back now.
“What should I do…”
While pretending to consider with his words, Riyekan unfastened Jin-ha’s suit jacket and shirt buttons one by one. As he moved the shirt aside, the already flushed, heated skin was revealed.
“This… let me go…”
Jin-ha pleaded, trembling slightly, but Riyekan pretended not to hear and lowered his head to focus on something he had always wanted to do.
That was to bite down hard on the small mound of snow-white skin hidden by the shirt, and the luscious fruit on top of it.
“Ah!”
Sharp teeth marks clearly appeared above and below the nipple. Riyekan looked at the sight with satisfaction before sucking on the already hardened nipple.
Jin-ha’s buttocks twitched, and a moan like that of someone in pain escaped through his parted lips. Jin-ha tried to avoid it by twisting his waist, but from Riyekan’s perspective, it looked more like Jin-ha was pushing his chest forward.
“Th-! Hnng…”
“Hmm?”
When Riyekan raised his gaze, Jin-ha was trying desperately to free his arms.
“Hand… my hands…”
“What will you do if I release your hands?”
“T-touch… I want to touch you.”
As if knowing what answer would make Riyekan release him, Jin-ha whispered.
“I’ll caress you…”
“…Alright. Go ahead.”
Freed, Jin-ha slid his hands through Riyekan’s hair as he usually did. The hands that slipped between the soft strands caressed Riyekan.
As tenderly as usual, yet with a different, more intense movement than usual, it stimulated Riyekan as if caressing him.
“Mmm…”
Riyekan closed his eyes for a moment to enjoy the ticklish sensation, then looked up at Jin-ha.
Jin-ha’s appearance, with his reason half-gone, was quite appetizing. He wanted to strip this man completely, thoroughly lick his smooth skin, and roughly stroke his sensitive dick that would writhe at the slightest touch. Bending him over the table and fucking him messily would be nice, but tying his right wrist to his right ankle and left wrist to his left ankle didn’t seem bad either. Licking Jin-ha’s rear until it was sufficiently wet while he panted with his cheek pressed against the bed…
“Master.”
At that moment, the returned Legas respectfully handed Riyekan a small glass bottle. It was the medicine Jin-ha had mentioned.
Riyekan slowly looked back and forth between the medicine and Jin-ha.
“Riyekan…”
This was an opportunity.
He had planned to take Jin-ha eventually anyway. His plan had been to approach gradually and devour him in one go when he felt close enough, but with Jin-ha making the first move, there was no reason to exercise patience.
Since Jin-ha had initiated, there was no need to give a reason or prepare excuses. He could blame everything on Jin-ha and simply desire and take him.
