Pregnancy? What kind of shameless talk is this? No matter how much our relationship had diverged from the original plot of the novel, the fact that Joo Min-hyeok had been drugging me remained unchanged. Since I had no way of knowing which food contained the drugs or how they were administered, I had eaten everything he gave me.
It hadn’t been just a year or two, so a normal pregnancy was likely impossible. And yet, how could he even bring up pregnancy? No matter how blinded he was by his rut, isn’t this madman far too shameless?
“Why aren’t you answering? I’m definitely making a baby today, but I need your consent to come inside. Though I’ll do it even if you don’t.”
Joo Min-hyeok didn’t stop moving, seemingly tireless as he spouted all sorts of nonsense about pregnancy and babies. Perhaps he had built up a deep resentment over the long period he spent unable to have relations despite having his Omega by his side during the peak of his sexual desire; he showed no intention of letting me go.
“Hng, ngh… Get it together, Cha Hae-joo. Don’t faint. Faint only after you’ve seen the baby being made.”
“Ugh, nn.”
“You don’t realize how hot it is inside here, all loosened and slick, do you? You’re hotter than when you had a fever. Want to try putting a finger in? Or should I pour some cold water inside to cool it down?”
What on earth is he talking about? Pour cold water where? I was horrified by Joo Min-hyeok’s delirious words. Is this some kind of hidden instinct? Why is he speaking so vulgarly? With a wide smile on his lips, Joo Min-hyeok repeatedly pressed his hips deep and moved slowly, then fast again.
Tears fell strangely from the pleasure accompanied by pain. It wasn’t that it hurt; it felt crazily good, yet I didn’t know why I was crying. As I clung desperately to Joo Min-hyeok with whimpering moans, he wore a satisfied smile, his eyes flashing with a vivid, piercing light as if he were enjoying something immensely.
A groan escaped Joo Min-hyeok, and his thrusting suddenly accelerated. He lifted my thighs, pressing our crotches tightly together, moving rapidly as if rubbing against me. As the stimulation surged, blood rushed to my genitals, making them even harder, and my body trembled with the sensation of an impending climax.
At that moment, I felt a hot liquid surging into me. The instant the warm semen flooded into my body, Joo Min-hyeok let out a loud groan, hugging me tightly as his body shook.
“Haa… hah. Haah.”
“Ngh!”
After the tremors subsided, Joo Min-hyeok, his face flushed with pleasure, fumbled over me and kissed me. We had ejaculated at the same time. However, this was only the beginning.
I don’t even remember the second time, and the third ejaculation happened in the bathroom where I briefly lost consciousness; when I opened my eyes again, I was in the living room. I had no idea how much time had passed.
Through my hazy eyes, Joo Min-hyeok was nothing more than a Dominant Alpha completely consumed by his rut. I was tossed around by his movements, and Joo Min-hyeok, obsessively clinging to my body, worked diligently to mark his territory inside me.
“Ah, it hurts. Stop sucking. My nipples are raw, it hurts—I think they’re wounded. Stop… ah.”
But Min-hyeok didn’t even react to my words, sucking and biting my chest like a child while moving violently like a beast. Even though nothing was coming out, he bit and sucked mercilessly while pounding away below. Joo Min-hyeok’s entire body was drenched in sweat, and I was no different.
My body was covered in Joo Min-hyeok’s marks, like red flowers blooming, with no spot left untouched. Then, after a while, I began to feel something strange inside my body where Joo Min-hyeok was lodged. It was a bizarre sensation I had never felt in my life, a phenomenon that defied words. The narrow part inside the hole began to be forced open.
“Ah! It hurts! What is this?”
The thing swelling up, making a strange sound as if something were tearing, was Joo Min-hyeok’s member. I couldn’t help but be terrified. In my shock, I instinctively pushed my upper body up and grabbed Joo Min-hyeok’s arm. As I raised myself, Joo Min-hyeok hugged my back tightly, trapping me in his embrace to soothe me.
“Stay still. Just stay still.”
No sooner had Joo Min-hyeok spoken than an amount of semen incomparable to anything before burst from his member and poured into my body.
Simultaneously, a strange popping sound echoed from my stomach, and my inner walls widened abruptly. Joo Min-hyeok’s member, which had been swelling gradually, suddenly began to expand at a rapid pace. Is this knotting? It’s knotting.
“Your Majesty, it hurts! Ah! Ack! Take it out, take it out! Joo Min-hyeok, you crazy bastard!”
“…I like it when you call my name. I wish you’d call it more, but I can’t take it out right now.”
“Joo Min-hyeok, fuck—no, I mean, it hurts too much. Your Majesty!”
I truly had nothing else to say. It hurt so much. It felt as if the dream-like, sweet pleasure of rolling around with Joo Min-hyeok had shattered. A sense of dread washed over me at the unfamiliar feeling of being split in half.
Is something actually going to go wrong? His member, swollen to the point that my stomach bulged, was stuck deep inside me, clinging as if hooked by a claw, refusing to let go. Joo Min-hyeok’s member had begun knotting, completely blocking the entrance to my uterus, which was now filled with semen.
Wait, am I really going to get pregnant? Am I still taking the contraceptives? Then what happens if a baby actually forms? I’ve taken so many drugs that something might be wrong. An overwhelming fear surged through me. What if a baby is conceived but something goes wrong because of the contraceptives I’m taking?
I wondered if this was how it normally felt during knotting; it felt as if all the worries of the world had descended upon me. I worried about a baby that didn’t even exist yet. For a while, we remained stuck together as if glued, and I had to tremble in worry and fear the entire time.
Eventually, feeling uncomfortable because Joo Min-hyeok was holding me too tightly, I shifted my body slightly. At that, Joo Min-hyeok patted my back. He probably has no idea what I’m worrying about or what I’m afraid of. He wouldn’t know that I’m aware of the contraceptives.
“You’ll get hurt if you move now. It won’t come out immediately anyway. We have to stay like this for a while, so even if it’s uncomfortable, try to get some sleep.”
In the meantime, Joo Min-hyeok’s tone had completely changed. He had returned to the Joo Min-hyeok I knew. It seemed the rut had ended and his senses had returned.
Is it always like this for both Omegas and Alphas, that they come to their senses so quickly after a Heat or rut? The Joo Min-hyeok who called me roughly and said all sorts of vulgar things was gone, and because the voice soothing me was tender, I felt somewhat relieved.
My lower half was burning, my member felt tightly stuffed, and my stomach was so swollen that it felt as if my organs had been pushed upward. Truly, the mysteries of the human body are endless. I’ve had my first Heat in my life. To think I’ve slept with a Dominant Alpha in rut and even been knotted—a wave of post-coital clarity hit me. I felt lethargic and didn’t want to do anything.
Seo-joo, I slept with a man. And the Emperor, at that. I might even be pregnant. Can you believe it? Even after mixing bodies with Joo Min-hyeok like that, I can’t believe this moment. I don’t even know how much time has passed. When will this thing finally come out?
Anyway, I can no longer deny that I am Joo Min-hyeok’s Omega. I have to vacate this spot when Yeonghwagung arrives. Will I be able to? Ah! That’s right. I have to talk about that too. How is Han Hee-sung doing? I remembered that Han Hee-sung had been placed under house arrest.
Once this comes out, I should talk to Joo Min-hyeok. Tell him I want to see Han Hee-sung. And I need to ask about Hyun-wook’s problem. I keep feeling sleepy. Joo Min-hyeok carefully laid me on my side as I nodded off and pulled me into his arms. Listening to the sound of his heart in his embrace, I drifted off to sleep again.
∗ ∗ ∗
After finishing his bath, Joo Min-hyeok lowered the towel from his head and looked at Hae-joo, who had been moved to a clean bed and was sleeping soundly. When he first regained his senses and saw Hae-joo sleeping as if he had fainted, he had been startled and checked his breathing to make sure he was still alive.
Fortunately, he was breathing, but his body was covered in bruises, and semen mixed with blood and lubrication leaked from below. Min-hyeok had been so shocked by the sight that he couldn’t move for a while. Even when wiping Hae-joo’s body, he moved very carefully so as not to hurt the swollen opening.
Fragments of his conversation with Hae-joo came back to him. And some of his memories were a complete blackout. His memory fully returned just before the knotting. Naturally, he heard Hae-joo’s cursing, but even that was cute. However, after checking Hae-joo’s condition once the act was over, he felt sorry for having thought it was cute.
Even without the rut, the lust he felt for the first time was beyond imagination, and everything about Hae-joo’s body and pheromones was too perfect. The moment Min-hyeok held Hae-joo in his arms, he felt an ecstasy so intense it felt as if his brain were melting. From then on, he only thought about possessing him, so it was only natural that his body ended up this way.
At this rate, a pregnancy would be more than likely. Of course, for ordinary people. How long has it been since he stopped the contraceptives? A bit less than two months? Although he had stopped taking them now, a body that had been on contraceptives for a long time due to his and the Queen Dowager’s plan would not be in a very good state for having a child.
And now, Min-hyeok began to regret that maddeningly. While as a Dominant Alpha he was disappointed about the potential difficulty of pregnancy, he was more worried that something might have happened to Hae-joo’s body. With belated regret and worry, Min-hyeok’s heart grew anxious.
