Chapter 112

"So you're saying you don't want anything I give you."

Asad's tone was uncharacteristically calm. But Kinaine sensed his anger and unconsciously backed away slightly.

Immediately, Asad grabbed the back of his hair and made him face him directly.

"Don't move away from me."

"Lord Asad, the pheromones..."

Though Kinaine tried to say something urgently, it didn't reach Asad's ears.

Those around Asad always wanted something from him.

Yet the human before him was saying he wanted nothing from him.

What Asad felt upon hearing those words was an immense sense of powerlessness. It was a sensation the almighty dragon should never feel in his lifetime. However, Asad somehow felt he had experienced this before.

Saying one wanted nothing meant being useless. And useless things were meant to be discarded...

"Ugh."

"Lord Asad? Are you alright?"

When Asad groaned from a headache that felt like an axe splitting his head, Kinaine asked worriedly.

But in truth, Kinaine was the one who should have been worried about himself.

"Huh?"

The next moment, Kinaine realized the space's smell had changed. The smell of dust and mold was familiar. He guessed it was the palace he had been assigned to.

The sudden change in space made Kinaine slightly flustered. He realized he hadn't felt much dissonance until now because Asad had always carried him when moving.

Then someone pushed Kinaine onto the bed with strong force and climbed on top of him. On guard from the suddenly changed environment, Kinaine instinctively kicked at his opponent. But the attack failed as a large hand caught his ankle. Though he would normally have prepared for the next attack, Kinaine took no action.

Large and hot, smooth hands without a single callus. Kinaine knew the owner of these hands.

"Lord Asad."

Kinaine realized something was wrong. What he had felt in the treasure vault wasn't a mistake. Even with his dulled senses, he could feel the strong pheromones flowing from the other.

Kinaine swallowed dryly. He asked calmly.

"Could it be your rut has started again?"

The pheromones Asad was releasing now were very similar to those of an alpha in rut. The violent desire to dominate and make the omega before him his own could be felt. So it was natural for Kinaine to think Asad's rut had returned.

For rut to come again so soon wasn't normal. Asad's condition must truly be unstable. Kinaine worried only about Asad, not caring about his own situation. Knowing how painful rut was for alphas made him worry even more.

Because Asad didn't deny his words, Kinaine became more certain of his thoughts.

Then a cold voice was heard.

"There's no way you want nothing. While leaking such vulgar scent."

It was an insulting statement. The sweet flower fragrance vanished like a dream, leaving only the smell of dust and cold mockery in reality.

Only upon hearing his words did Kinaine realize his body was naturally releasing pheromones. Though his heart was winter-cold, his body burned hot in contrast. That disharmony was sorrowful.

Rough hands undid Kinaine's clothes.

"Get on your hands and knees."

"..."

"You don't want to?"

Kinaine felt Asad's body move away. When the warmth that had been touching him disappeared, the room's chill felt even colder.

Kinaine unconsciously reached out. Though he worried his hand wouldn't catch anything, fortunately he caught hold of clothing.

"I don't dislike it..."

Kinaine was tense. He was uncharacteristically somewhat frightened. Not just because of the rut. He was scared Asad would say he was done with him and would call another omega.

Since he hadn't performed well before, he had nothing to say if Asad said such things. He couldn't even remember how many times he had lost consciousness and awakened that day. If he had been more skilled at intimacy, he might have had more confidence, but every time they coupled, Kinaine was just swept away like being hit by fierce waves. He couldn't gauge how much more it would take to get used to it.

However.

Kinaine let go of Asad's clothes and slowly got on his hands and knees.

He still couldn't bear the thought of Asad coupling with another omega.

"Since we did it once before, I can do better this time."

"..."

There was no answer. Had he already left? Though no footsteps were heard, Asad was a dragon. He could go anywhere with magic, so he could leave without a sound.

Kinaine tried to raise himself urgently. At that moment, a hot hand grabbed his waist.

"Hah."

Kinaine held his breath and trembled as something entered him at once as if piercing through his abdomen. Though he didn't tear thanks to being already thoroughly wet from the alpha's pheromones, it was an overwhelming size to take without any preparation.

But Asad showed no mercy. He didn't wait and immediately began thrusting roughly. His uncontrolled movements, rushing and roughly driving his hips, seemed like returning to their first time.

When Kinaine's posture collapsed under the force, Asad grabbed both his arms behind him to prevent him from falling and continued thrusting.

A cold sneer was heard.

"Stop clenching. As if you haven't done this once or twice before."

"Ah, hnng, ugh!"

"Didn't you say you could do better?"

Asad bit the back of his neck as if punishing him. Something was wrong with his body - even pain transformed into pleasure. Kinaine was immediately driven to climax. His rigid member leaked thin fluid. His thin body trembled finely before going limp.

But Asad didn't stop there.

"Ah, no, Lord Asad, I just... hnng!"

Though Kinaine shook his head frantically, Asad moved roughly without saying anything. Each time the member moved in and out of his stretched entrance, his mind went white. Though Kinaine struggled to escape from him, the hands holding his arms didn't budge.

"No, ah, don't, hic, hnng!"

Kinaine's body convulsed once more. But nothing flowed from his erect member. Kinaine just breathed heavily, unaware of this fact.

He felt the member withdrawing from his body. His thoroughly stretched entrance gaped. He felt fluid flowing down his thighs from his bottom.

Hot fingers probed his entrance.

"Don't spill."

"Hnng."

The fingers roughly explored the stretched entrance. More precisely, they seemed to be pushing the spilled fluid back inside. Kinaine couldn't understand why Asad was doing this. Even if he had been in his right mind it would have been difficult to understand, but now just maintaining reason was challenging.

Then he felt hot flesh between his buttocks. Kinaine's body stiffened. After reaching climax twice in succession, his muscles felt like they had melted and he couldn't muster any strength. He pleaded while panting.

"Lord Asad, just a moment... let's rest a little..."

"..."

"Lord Asad?"

Though he called out, there was no answer. Instead, the thick member roughly drove into his swollen entrance.

"Ugh! Ah!"

His breath caught. Kinaine's eyes flew open. But whether open or closed, the world was pitch black.

"Lord Asad, wait..."

"..."

Kinaine suddenly felt something wrong with this situation. With Asad not saying anything, it felt like coupling with a different person.

While raising his hips to receive the member, Kinaine pleaded in a trembling voice. This time, it wasn't about resting.

"I... I want to see your face."

Kinaine was surprised at his own words. They seemed too childish. He would have nothing to say if Asad mocked him.

"...Even though you can't see."

This time there was an answer. Unlike what he expected, it wasn't a mocking tone. Encouraged, Kinaine made another request.

"Lord Asad, please kiss me."

As if this was a proper request, his body was flipped over. Asad's lips met his parted ones.

Asad always kissed as if stealing breath without caring for his partner. It was a selfish kiss, true to his personality.

Though Kinaine had endured until now, happy just to kiss Asad, this time, perhaps due to anxiety, he made requests he normally wouldn't.

"Lord Asad, slowly..."

"..."

"Do it slowly. Gently."

As if demonstrating, Kinaine first licked Asad's lips and carefully tickled his palate while tangling their tongues. Asad remained still as if frozen.

"Like this."

When Kinaine stopped, Asad moved carefully as if following his lead. Though he quickly became rough again, it was better than before.

Kinaine suddenly felt a pang of regret. If only he could see Asad right now, even for just a very brief moment.

At that moment, a chirp was heard from the headboard. It came from the small bird that had followed from the garden. Light briefly flashed in Kinaine's eyes as he became aware of another presence hidden in the room.

Asad didn't notice the change in Kinaine. Not even the small bird's presence.

Right now, his mind was filled with only one thought.

...He doesn't need me. He'll leave me and go.

Then I'll make it so he can't.

I can do that this time.

Asad couldn't understand where the anxiety sprouting in his heart originated from. He only knew clearly that he needed the human to stop this anxiety.

"So I hope you'll soon take a proper mate."

Therefore, when Kinaine said this after regaining consciousness from passing out after their coupling, Asad didn't hide his cold sneer.

Of course, Asad would take a mate.

But Kinaine seemed not to know.

"Even if I take a mate, you'll have to stay here."

"What do you..."

That he had no intention of letting him go.

While firmly gripping the human's wrist, Asad whispered in a gloomy voice.

"Though you're a disgusting human, your body isn't bad. So instead of having useless thoughts, pray that I don't tire of you."

Kinaine had to stay by his side.

Simply because that was what Asad himself wanted.
