There was no choice but to catch him in the act.
Dane, having decided this, gazed at Grayson, who was hastily rubbing his aching head. He didn’t particularly like it, but there was no other choice. Having decided to change his plan and wait until his discharge day, he soon let out a sigh, “Hoo,” and relaxed his body. Fatigue washed over him rapidly, and before he knew it, Dane had fallen asleep, letting out a deep breath.
As days passed, he was able to get out of bed and walk, and the pain subsided. Meanwhile, the items Grayson took, imbued with Dane’s Pheromone, changed daily and continued to increase in number.
Despite all this, his wounds healed steadily, and the date set for his discharge approached.
“You’ve been through a lot.”
Dane smiled back at the doctor’s beaming face.
“It’s thanks to your care. Thank you.”
Perhaps out of habit, as he carefully sat up, the doctor continued cheerfully.
“I was worried it might get infected again midway, but thankfully, it healed well without any further issues. Your recovery speed is fast, it’s very good.”
“Haha…”
Dane gave an awkward laugh at the doctor’s words. Of course, it would be. He had been confined to bed ever since that day.
“Is there anything special I need to be aware of now? Anything to be cautious about?”
When he asked the doctor, he gave the usual, rote warnings. Things like not overexerting himself for a while, or waiting longer before engaging in strenuous exercise.
“Other than that, daily life is fine. Just don’t overexert yourself and be careful.”
“Is sex okay too?”
Dane asked bluntly, without hesitation, to the gentle doctor’s advice. For a moment, the doctor seemed flustered, then awkwardly lifted the corners of his mouth.
“Well, yes. If you don’t overdo it.”
What did “overdoing it” mean? Dane pondered for a moment. Would it be okay as long as he didn’t go as far as binding?
He stopped himself from asking the doctor. Did he really need to check on every little thing like this? He decided it would be enough to just stop if it hurt.
“Understood, thank you.”
The doctor, who had been somewhat tense, wondering what Dane would say next, seemed relieved when Dane offered his thanks and shook hands. Looking at the doctor’s petite build, which barely reached his own shoulder, Dane felt a strange sense of wonder. In the past, he would have rolled around with this man on the hospital bed before his discharge. To be honest, his lower body was itching, making him restless. Had he ever gone this long without sex? He couldn’t believe it had been months of abstinence. The pent-up energy was overflowing through his entire body. Of course, the desire was overflowing too.
But, to his surprise, only one person came to mind right now. It was absurd, and he let out a wry smile. How did I end up like this?
“Thank you for everything. I wish you well…”
After bidding farewell to the medical staff who had cared for him, Dane called for a taxi. What he had to do next was already decided. The time had finally come to confirm what he had been curious about.

What the hell was that guy doing, smearing my Pheromone all over everything?
Sitting in the back of the taxi, Dane scowled, his brow furrowed. In truth, he had a rough idea. He had said it was for Darling, but he had clearly satisfied his own selfish desires. Until the day before, he had enthusiastically taken items heavily scented with Dane’s Pheromone.
In fact, Grayson didn’t know Dane was being discharged today. He had specifically asked the medical staff to keep it a secret, and Dane hadn’t told him either. Grayson would be heading to the hospital by now. Or perhaps he was still at home. It didn’t matter. What was certain was that he wouldn’t have any chance to hide what he was keeping from Dane.
After showing his face at the security booth, Dane leaned back in his seat. As he got closer to the mansion, his heart rate gradually quickened.
Hoo…
A subtle heat mixed with the slow exhale. Dane crossed his arms and tapped his fingers. In his mind, what he would do next was already unfolding naturally. Find evidence of his misdeeds and confront Grayson. Then he would make some ridiculous excuse. He would kiss that mouth to shut him up. While Grayson was stunned, he would gag him and tie his hands behind his back. Then he would strip him naked and have him lie face down on a coffee table chair. He would tie his legs and arms separately to the chair legs, and his ass…
Oops.
He had gotten excited and let his Pheromone leak. Snapping back to his senses with the strong scent of his own Pheromone, he quickly coughed and opened the car window. Fortunately, the taxi driver, a Beta, seemed desensitized to Pheromones and didn’t notice the scent.
Dane kept the car window open until they reached the mansion at the top of the hill.
“Thank you.”
After paying and getting out of the car, the taxi immediately drove away. Before him stood the familiar mansion. When he first saw this house, he had been overwhelmed by its sheer size, but now, despite its imposing presence, it felt familiar. He even felt a sense of nostalgia, as if returning to his own home after a long absence, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Well, everything is so unfamiliar.
He scratched the back of his head for no reason and then looked up. Let’s see what that guy is up to for now.
“Boobs, boobs. Boobs, boobs.”
Grayson drove down the road, singing the same song as always, full of excitement. A neatly folded, freshly washed large towel lay on the passenger seat. He planned to ask Dane to imbue it with his Pheromone again today. Just thinking about it made him smile. Moreover, these days, Dane was agreeing to whatever Grayson asked. While it was a sad thought that it was due to his illness, the fact that he was always waiting for Grayson in the same place made him feel good.
“Boooooobs!”
Grayson excitedly tapped the steering wheel and burst into laughter. That laughter completely vanished the moment he encountered a familiar nurse in the hospital corridor. Grayson’s face turned ashen, drained of all color. Dane had been discharged. Without a word to him.
He turned the doorknob of the front door and found it unlocked. Dane, who had been frowning, immediately understood with an “Ah.” Who could just walk into a mansion guarded so strictly by security?
Seeing that he had locked up tightly when he went to the East last time, it was likely he had left it unlocked for a brief outing. He must have heard by now that I was discharged from the hospital. Dane checked his watch and stepped inside. He intended to secure evidence and gain the upper hand before that guy arrived.
He took three steps at a time up the stairs and quickly reached the floor with the bedrooms. It didn’t take long to reach Grayson’s bedroom, which was connected to the bedroom he used to use. A faint Pheromone scent wafted from inside. A cloying sweetness. It was Grayson’s scent. He seemed to be living freely, releasing his Pheromones in his own room.
So, he must have piled all those things in here.
Dane confidently flexed his knuckles. Just as he reached for the doorknob, his cell phone suddenly rang. Checking the number, it was indeed Grayson. Dane smirked and answered the call.
“Where are you?”
Before he could even speak, a shout came from the other end. In contrast to his frantic tone, Dane replied leisurely.
“Where do you think I am?”
