“…You said let’s go on a date. Then why are you dressed so sloppily?”
Hui-won replied as if he were appalled. Yet, wasn’t he the one who had dressed up meticulously? A tie with burgundy and ivory diagonal stripes against a deep navy background made Kwon Young-je look even more attractive today. Since it was the day of the final contract signing, he had definitely worn a clean black tie in the morning, but he must have changed it for the sake of the ‘date.’ Thanks to that, everyone was staring at Kwon Young-je. Even with his jacket draped carelessly over his arm and his posture slouching, a sophisticated charm radiated from him.
They say being handsome is power. Sometimes, it felt like Kwon Young-je was born to hold the world in the palm of his hand. That man from earlier had been so confident because he was an Alpha, but how much relative deprivation must he have felt upon seeing Kwon Young-je? Hui-won offered a brief moment of mourning for the once-boisterous young man.
“Sit down.”
Hui-won tapped the empty seat diagonally across from him. Kwon Young-je let out a hollow laugh and pulled out the chair to sit. As if he were still displeased, his upper body was turned completely toward Hui-won.
“I’ve been thinking about what to do during our break. I think going to Fenway Park to watch baseball would be nice, or we could pick a musical at the Opera House… or there’s this thing called a Duck Tour where you ride an amphibious vehicle….”
Hui-won rattled off the list he had written in his notepad, stealing a glance at the other man. Kwon Young-je was simply looking down at Hui-won with his arms crossed. Seeing his brow furrowed, Hui-won slowly lowered his phone.
“Do you not like it?”
“No.”
“Then why the face?”
“It’s just so different from my plan… I’m having a bit of a reality check.”
Just then, a server came by and set down a wine glass. What Kwon Young-je had ordered was the same Moscato wine Hui-won was drinking. Light bubbles were softly blooming in the pale apricot-colored dessert wine.
Kwon Young-je held the glass, swirling it gently as he spoke.
“I was planning on seducing you and having wild sex.”
Hui-won accidentally dropped the phone he was holding. The clatter drew the attention of those around them. Fortunately, the phone that hit the floor was intact without a single crack. Hui-won brushed off the dust, trying his best to act as if nothing had happened.
“Uh… we can do that too.”
However, he couldn’t hide his flushed face. Hui-won fanned himself with his hand, trying to cool the heat in his cheeks.
“Have you decided where, uh, where we should eat dinner?”
“Why are you stuttering?”
Kwon Young-je chuckled softly and took a sip of the wine. His narrowed eyes looked quite predatory.
“Are you nervous?”
“Nervous? No… if we’re doing it, we’re doing it.”
Hui-won squared his shoulders defiantly. While his upper body leaned back comfortably, his fingers tapped the armrest like he was typing. Even to himself, his nervousness was evident.
“Are we doing it today?”
“Once you’re mentally prepared.”
How long had it been since they last had sex? It felt like at least three months. That must be why his heart was racing as if he were facing a great ordeal. Hui-won let out a long breath.
“I’m prepared.”
Unable to look Kwon Young-je in the eye, he tilted his head back. His mouth was so dry that he gulped the wine like water, and a pleasant sound of laughter echoed beside him.
Kwon Young-je also leaned back and drank his wine. Now that the busy work was over, they could spend time entirely as a pair. He was quite looking forward to the rest of their vacation.
They had a fancy dinner at a place with a great atmosphere, but he couldn’t remember a single thing about the taste. In an attempt to suppress his trembling heart, he had drunk five glasses of wine and was feeling slightly tipsy.
Silence filled the taxi on the way home. The scenery flowing past the window was distinctly different from Korea.
Maybe he had drunk too much; his face had been burning for a while. Even as he cooled it with the back of his hand and breathed steadily, the heat refused to subside.
“Don’t be nervous. When you’re like this, it makes me feel strange too.”
“…….”
“I took a suppressant, so it should be fine.”
Kwon Young-je spoke quietly. Finding it hard to understand his words, Hui-won tilted his head.
“What?”
“I have a feeling I might knot today.”
Knotting—a symptom that appears when an Alpha’s heat reaches its peak. Hui-won clenched his fists on his lap.
Fuck, Kwon Young-je. This is cheating. He told him not to be nervous, but now he was trying to make his heart explode.
Hui-won closed his eyes tightly and swallowed several curses. His body was so aroused that his pheromones were leaking out. It was a situation where he had to be sincerely grateful that the taxi driver was a Beta.
The hour felt like an eternity. As soon as the car stopped, Hui-won burst out of the door. While Kwon Young-je paid the fare and followed him out, Hui-won marched ahead and arrived at the front door.
Woof woof!
Alberto barked happily, but Hui-won couldn’t even greet him. His head was spinning, and he couldn’t think straight. Even the key kept slipping over the lock.
“Haa, damn it, why won’t it go in?”
From behind, a large hand covered the back of Hui-won’s hand and steadily pushed the key into the small hole. With a click that felt absurdly easy compared to his struggle, the lock opened. Hui-won slowly turned his head.
“Go inside and wash first….”
Kwon Young-je didn’t even let him finish before swallowing his lips. Hui-won’s burning cheeks were captured by both of his hands. Unrefined breaths were wetting his face with heat.
Woof woof! Woof! The sound of the dog barking echoed loudly through the quiet neighborhood. Alberto began to wag his tail frantically with his front paws on the fence. He was likely surprised by the familiar sight.
Hui-won fumbled his hand backward. As he managed to grab and turn the doorknob, the front door creaked open. He stepped backward while keeping their lips pressed together.
As soon as the door closed, only the sound of Alberto whimpering remained in front of the house. The gentle dog continued to stare at the closed door as if disappointed.
The keys clattered to the floor, and Kwon Young-je’s jacket was kicked aside. Every second was urgent; they stepped into the entryway without even taking off their shoes.
Pressed against the wall, they sucked on each other’s lips frantically. Their hands, mixing haphazardly, looked almost like they were grabbing each other by the collars. Kwon Young-je’s shirt was already unsightly wrinkled, and his tie had long since lost its neat form.
Their labored breathing reached its limit, making it difficult even to swallow air. The inside of his mouth was filled with a tongue, doubling the feeling of suffocation, but even if he were to suffocate like this, he didn’t want to stop.
Kwon Young-je was sucking on Hui-won’s lips like a man possessed. He drank every drop of saliva that flowed between their disheveled lips. Both Hui-won’s upper and lower lips were nibbled between teeth, and he was busy indulging in the entirety of Hui-won’s mouth, scanning the soft mucosa under the tongue, the palate, and the neat rows of teeth.
“Hng, ngh….”
Hui-won let out a pained moan.
Meanwhile, their lower bodies continued to rub against each other. Every time their hard erections rubbed through the fabric, a tingling sensation shot up his spine. As his legs kept giving out and he began to slide down the wall, Kwon Young-je lifted Hui-won up and sat him on the low shoe rack.
The shoe rack, which came up to waist height, was so flimsy that it creaked just from him sitting on it. As Kwon Young-je pulled down his shorts and underwear in one go, Hui-won slightly lifted his hips despite his haze. While he was completely exposed and with his legs spread, Kwon Young-je was still dressed neatly, save for being slightly disheveled.
That sight brought an irresistible surge of excitement. His expectant body began to tremble slightly, and his member was pressed up toward his navel, feeling tight. Hui-won swallowed a sharp breath and leaned his head back. Gripping the edge of the shoe rack tightly with both hands, his gaze remained fixed on the man undoing his tie.
Kwon Young-je slowly leaned down. He kissed Hui-won’s fully aroused member lightly and pressed his tongue against his lower abdomen. As the hot, soft tip of the tongue drew a long line below his navel, Hui-won trembled so hard the shoe rack shook.
“Haa!”
Fearing he might fall due to the violent reaction, Kwon Young-je grabbed Hui-won’s ankles and fixed them on the shoe rack. With his knees half-bent, his private parts were inevitably laid bare. Below the tightly drawn scrotum, the perineum and the back hole were twitching with a bright red hue. They were already wet, glistening as if coated in syrup.
Just as Hui-won expected, Kwon Young-je took his cock in his mouth. As the glans was sucked into the moist mouth, Hui-won let out a suppressed cry. The dizzying sensation went without saying, and seeing Kwon Young-je’s smooth cheek bulge because of his cock brought a wave of depravity.
“Ah, hng!”
Unconsciously, his head fell back and panting sounds leaked out. As he barely managed to straighten his head, he saw the man looking up at him while sucking the shaft of his cock.
Faced with pleasure he hadn’t felt in a long time, Hui-won had no intention of enduring. Letting go of the last shred of reason he was holding onto, he instead grabbed a handful of Kwon Young-je’s hair. Reading the silent demand, the man willingly gave up his hair and buried his face deeper into Hui-won’s groin.
“Ah, hng, ngh.”
The soles of his sneakers pressed firmly against the edge of the shoe rack. Moans poured out helplessly, and his hips bucked. Only Kwon Young-je’s head, buried between his wide-open thighs, remained steadfastly fixed.
“Haa, Kwon, Young-je, ah, Young-je.”
