After taking a leisurely bath and even pleasuring himself once while imagining Eun-won showering, Cha Se-jin stepped out of the bathroom wearing only trousers and the black robe provided by the hotel. He roughly shook out his hair, which was still slightly damp, and headed to the living room. Before long, Eun-won appeared, wearing a thin knit sweater that was far too neat for loungewear. He seemed to have prepared himself, perhaps feeling awkward about showing a more relaxed side.
“You could have dressed more comfortably.”
“…This is comfortable too.”
“Then what does that make me, dressed in a way that only requires me to take it off to be with my Darling?”
Eun-won averted his gaze upon seeing Cha Se-jin’s body revealed through the robe, as he hadn’t tied the belt. With a chuckle, Cha Se-jin tied the belt loosely enough so as not to feel stifled, just as the doorbell rang. As he shuffled over in his slippers and opened the door, a staff member standing by a cart laden with food bowed politely.
“I will set up the food for you.”
With a short nod, Cha Se-jin followed the cart as it entered. He then took hold of Eun-won, who was standing awkwardly by the sofa, and sat him down. Soon, the table in front of them was filled with delicious dishes.
“Ah, now that I see it, I’m starving. Eat plenty.”
“Yes, please eat plenty too, Director. You… worked hard today.”
“Yeah, you worked hard too, Darling.”
Cha Se-jin sliced a piece of steak and placed it on Eun-won’s plate first before putting a piece in his own mouth. Naturally, it couldn’t beat eating something freshly grilled at a steakhouse, but the juices were good and the doneness was just right.
“Does it suit your taste?”
“Yes, it’s delicious.”
Seeing Eun-won—who must have been hungry—eating the meat, helping himself to the pasta, and holding a halved hamburger with both hands to take small bites from each side, Cha Se-jin lifted a drink and held it to his lips. Eun-won didn’t refuse and took the straw in his mouth.
“…….”
Though he had held out the cup intending for Eun-won to take the straw directly rather than taking the cup with his hand, the fact that Eun-won followed his lead caused a sudden rush of heat to climb up his neck. Cha Se-jin stared blatantly as Eun-won sucked on the cider, stopped, sucked again, and stopped. Perhaps because he had already come once during his shower, his genitals reacted sensitively to things he wouldn’t normally have considered stimulating.
If he were to hold his cock instead of a hamburger with both hands, and if Eun-won were to struggle to take the tip into his mouth and suck on it just like that straw….
Ah, fuck…. He was hard.
In an instant, tension surged, and the front of his slim-fit trousers was pushed up by his erection. Setting the drink down, Cha Se-jin sighed as he looked down at the front of his pants, where the erection was glaringly obvious to anyone.
In his heart, he wanted to sweep the table clear and lay Eun-won down or make him bend over on top of it, but seeing Eun-won happily twirling pasta noodles around his fork, it didn’t seem like the right timing. It was true that he wanted to have sex, but since sex was something he could easily do whenever he wanted, he didn’t usually obsess or cling to it.
It was the same with sex with Eun-won. He was merely indulging him because he was pleasant to look at; if he ever felt the need to fill that small belly with his cock, he would do so at any time. But not now. One shouldn’t mess with someone while they’re eating. Besides, today he wanted to hear more of Eun-won’s stories. Because they were no longer people who met and then returned to their own homes, but people who now had to ‘live together.’
“Eat for a moment.”
“Where are you…?”
As Eun-won looked up at the suddenly standing Cha Se-jin, his gaze couldn’t go any higher, stopping instead on the blatant ‘outline’ revealed right before his eyes. Since there was no mistaking what was bulging against the front of the trousers, a wave of bewilderment and embarrassment washed over him.
Wondering why such a thing was in front of him, Eun-won lifted his head, only for Cha Se-jin to shrug nonchalantly.
“I got hard watching you suck the straw.”
“……What?”
“Should I be more detailed?”
Eun-won shook his head, trying his best not to look at the prominent outline before him. Cha Se-jin laughed, stroked the soft hair, and left the living room. Eun-won watched Cha Se-jin enter the bedroom and pressed his palm firmly against his rapidly beating heart.
“…….”
So… Cha Se-jin had become aroused because of him… and had gone to… calm it down. Eun-won knew very well how that was done. Of course, there was the method of letting it subside naturally over time, but he didn’t think Cha Se-jin would choose that way.
Then… in the room…. No, in the bathroom…….
Thinking that Cha Se-jin had entered the bathroom where he had just washed, Eun-won felt a tugging sensation inside his thighs. Eun-won pressed his thighs together. As the pressure increased, a faint sense of pleasure spread. For a moment, the thought that he wanted to feel even better flashed through his mind. Startled, Eun-won shook his head and picked up the drink. He then took the straw that Cha Se-jin had held for him earlier.
‘I got hard watching you suck the straw.’
Realizing that the thing he was sucking was that very straw, Eun-won swallowed the drink wrong and coughed. He felt his eyelashes grow damp as tears quickly welled up. Setting down both the drink and the fork, Eun-won rubbed his wet eyes with the back of his hand. His throat stung from swallowing the carbonation incorrectly.
“…….”
Perhaps because he had finally faced his feelings of liking Cha Se-jin, he felt more swept away by the man’s every word and action than usual. Eun-won tried to calm his heart. He breathed slowly and tried drinking the beverage slowly again without the straw. However, far from calming down, he kept imagining what Cha Se-jin would look like in the bathroom.
…I must be crazy, really. Why am I thinking about that? Stop thinking. Stop it and just eat.
But once the heart was stirred, it couldn’t easily find its place. He picked up the fork several times to try and eat again, but failing to do so, Eun-won stood up to settle his restless heart.
“…….”
It felt like it had already been twenty minutes since Cha Se-jin had left, and seeing that he still hadn’t returned, it seemed he hadn’t finished yet. The image of the bulging trousers and Cha Se-jin’s nonchalant voice came back to him. After pacing near the sofa, Eun-won was startled by a sound from the room and quickly sat back down.
“You haven’t eaten much? Why, are you full already?”
Cha Se-jin sat down beside Eun-won as if nothing had happened and took a large bite of the remaining half of the hamburger. Only then did Eun-won pick up the fork again and put a french fry in his mouth.
“Want me to tell you what I was doing?”
“…N-no….”
“Why? Aren’t you curious? Or maybe you already know without me telling you?”
“…I think… I know.”
“…You know things that erotic? You look like you wouldn’t know a thing, so how do you know?”
Looking at the teasing Cha Se-jin, Eun-won dropped his gaze back to the food and parted his lips.
“…I know everything I need to know.”
“Then do you know that I want to have sex with you?”
“…….”
“And that I’m holding back?”
Because it was said so lightly, Eun-won couldn’t immediately grasp the intent behind the words. He stared silently at Cha Se-jin, waiting for what would follow.
“You said it before. That since it’s an arranged marriage, you wondered if you really had to do those things. Back then, the subject wasn’t sex, but kissing.”
“…….”
“But we did it. The kissing. And it wasn’t bad.”
“…….”
“If I teach you, would you be willing to have sex too?”
Cha Se-jin, who had been keeping his eyes locked on Eun-won even while drinking from his glass, tilted his head.
“To be honest, it’s important to me.”
“…….”
“I enjoy doing it, and since I’m an Alpha, my desires build up too much, so it’s not great to just let them sit.”
Having married Cha Se-jin, Eun-won had considered that they might do something beyond kissing, but he had never thought about such practical reasons, so he couldn’t immediately think of what to say or how to say it. Eun-won continued to meet the gaze of Cha Se-jin, who looked as if he had more to say.
“I have no intention of forcing you. It’s true that I want to sleep with you, but I don’t want to force you to learn just because I want it if you hate it.”
“…….”
“I’ll say it again, I’m not forcing you, nor am I threatening you. I’m asking because if you hate talking about this, I won’t bring it up again. Not just normally, but during a Rut as well, since I have to handle that on my own.”
Handle it on his own…? Eun-won wondered for a moment if he meant handling it alone as he had just done, but as he pondered Cha Se-jin’s words, he thought there might be another meaning.
If he didn’t mean handling it alone like before…. Then….
