It was happening again.
Endless heat, as though he had been forced into a furnace. Not an inch of skin escaped the scorching flames, especially his gland. It burned and itched, but he dared not scratch. Last time, merely touching it had made the itching worse rather than easing it. Unable to judge his own strength, he had nearly scratched the skin open.
Fang Fengzhi panted, his legs unconsciously clamping around the tangled blankets as he rubbed his trembling groin against them. He was so close to coming, yet he simply could not. His hands tightened around the corner of the blanket. Frowning, he endured it for a while, but finally he could bear no more. The desire inside threatened to burn him to ashes, the emptiness aching for someone to satisfy it. He climbed out of bed on shaking legs and stumbled to the wardrobe. After a moment’s hesitation, ashamed and helpless, he took out the tie he had hidden inside.
Min Zhi’s tie.
He truly had no other choice.
The pheromones on it had almost entirely dissipated. Only the faintest trace of smoke remained. Like an addict desperate for a fix, Fang Fengzhi pressed the tie to his nose, sealing his nostrils. The rough gesture made breathing difficult, but it also filled his nose completely with that scent. A shudder ran through him, and a pitiful trickle of semen seeped from the head of his cock.
Fang Fengzhi pulled down his underwear. One hand stroked his cock while the other kept the tie over his mouth and nose. He felt as though he was suffocating, the air growing scarcer, but the Alpha’s pheromones had overwhelmed his reason. He no longer knew what he was doing, only following his instincts in search of pleasure.
His breathing grew heavier. Deprived of air, his eyes kept rolling upward, exposing large stretches of white. The hand below moved faster and faster. He felt as though he was dying, but he could not stop.
“Fang Fengzhi!”
The hand covering his nose was suddenly pulled away. At last he could breathe, yet he regretted losing the pheromones that had brought him pleasure.
His exhausted body slumped sideways. Instead of meeting the cold floor, he was caught in someone’s arms. In that instant, pheromones from their very source enveloped him, so rich they could drown him.
Before he could feel glad, the surging pheromones threw his entire body into turmoil. Every pore, every inch of flesh was invaded by the Alpha’s scent.
He trembled uncontrollably, moans of pain and pleasure escaping his mouth. His cock spilled what had been trapped inside him for so long. Crying out, he finally came.
His awareness grew terribly hazy. He felt himself being lifted and laid among soft bedding.
But those pleasurable pheromones were slowly moving away. Fang Fengzhi panicked and reached out blindly, catching hold of something. He heard someone ask, “Still uncomfortable?”
He nodded dazedly.
Then the blanket covering him was lifted, and an enormous body lay down beside him. It gathered him into its arms, but Fang Fengzhi felt no fear. He was wonderfully comfortable now, as though enclosed in a cozy cage.
He never wanted to leave. He began taking deep, hungry breaths, trying to draw every last trace of those pheromones into his body.
It still was not enough.
He wanted more.
Burying his face in the chest before him, he babbled, “Please, it’s still not enough…”
Min Zhi looked down at him. He was already incoherent, clear saliva hanging obscenely from his lips and soaking Min Zhi’s pajamas. Seeing that the Omega still clutched the tie that had almost suffocated him, Min Zhi took it, bunched it up, and slowly pushed it into Fang Fengzhi’s open mouth.
Once it was fully inside, the Omega’s moans were abruptly silenced. The cloth lodged against his throat, making him uncomfortable. Watching him frown, helpless and unsure what to do, able only to make muffled sounds, Min Zhi felt that inexplicable pleasure stir again. The familiar fabric in his mouth was his own—the tie he had lent Fang Fengzhi before.
Min Zhi reached out and pressed the tie a little farther into the Omega’s mouth. Fang Fengzhi shook his head in distress, his eyes reddening, his tongue trying to push it out. But Min Zhi covered his mouth with his hand.
Now he could offer no resistance at all. He could only let the cloth block his mouth, his cries damp and muffled. So pitiful. Desire had tormented him out of his senses; he would not even realize how someone was treating him.
The suppressant Min Zhi had injected a few minutes earlier controlled only his pheromones. His body and heart remained beyond his control, urging him toward sinful acts. Lowering his eyes, he gently gathered Fang Fengzhi into his arms. Just as before, he pulled over the blanket and covered the fragile Omega tightly.
The tie had been pushed deep, almost reaching his throat. Fang Fengzhi fought the urge to gag. Before he could recover, he was enclosed beneath the blanket. A hand touched the back of his neck, and he shuddered violently. The touch brought him pleasure. Through his haze, he seemed to sense what was coming, nervousness mingling with a faint anticipation.
And indeed, the instant the outside light was shut out completely, the pheromones he craved swept over him.
When he woke again, Fang Fengzhi was still surrounded by that gunsmoke scent.
He stared into the dark room. This time, he had not been in heat. All the memories remained in his mind. Every time, it was like this—as though he were using that Alpha to relieve his own desires. Once those desires were satisfied, all Fang Fengzhi felt was unbearable shame.
He wanted to get out of bed for some water, but when he moved, he discovered that he could not stretch his arms and legs.
Someone seemed to be holding him.
Fang Fengzhi went still. Behind him, the Alpha spoke in a slightly weary voice.
“You’re awake?”
Fang Fengzhi did not dare answer.
A faint light appeared behind him, then went out again. The man spoke once more.
“It’s still early. You can sleep a little longer.”
He got out of bed, and cold air suddenly slipped beneath the blanket behind Fang Fengzhi.
Fang Fengzhi turned.
“You…”
He could not get beyond that single word. His throat hurt as though it had been scorched, and his voice sounded strangely hoarse.
Min Zhi switched on the bedside lamp.
“Thirsty?”
Fang Fengzhi squinted. By the time his eyes adjusted, the Alpha was gone. He slowly pushed himself upright on the bed. After he had rested for a moment, Min Zhi returned with a glass.
He set it on the bedside table.
“It’s warm. Have some.”
Fang Fengzhi glanced at him.
“Thank you…”
His voice was so weak and rough that he did not know whether Min Zhi could hear him. A sip of water eased his throat a little, and he thanked him again. He did not know what else he could possibly say.
Min Zhi gave no answer. He simply stood silently beside the bed.
A little nervous beneath his gaze, Fang Fengzhi finished the water and set the glass aside. Then the Alpha asked, “When did it start?”
He meant what had happened tonight.
Fang Fengzhi lowered his head.
“…After we came back from the hospital.”
He had not known how to bring it up. Min Zhi was busy, and this sort of thing… How could he possibly say it? It would sound as though he were asking for sex. He had already caused enough trouble last time. How could he have the nerve to ask again…
Min Zhi’s brows drew tightly together. So this had been happening all along, and Fang Fengzhi had never told him. The very reason he had moved back was to prevent another episode, yet this man kept everything to himself. Fang Fengzhi’s head was bowed, avoiding his eyes. His exposed cheek and ears were red. Min Zhi leaned back against the wall.
“You don’t need to feel ashamed.”
“I was the one who lost control and marked you. That makes you my responsibility.”
The Omega murmured a quiet acknowledgment. Only then did Min Zhi straighten and walk to the bed to pick up the glass.
“Would you like more?”
“N-no, thank you…”
“There’s no need to be so polite with me.”
Min Zhi suddenly crouched to look into Fang Fengzhi’s face. With nowhere left to hide, Fang Fengzhi had no choice but to meet his eyes.
“Providing you with pheromones is something I should do.”
“Until the mark fades, you can ask anything of me.”
