Winston froze in an instant. The heated atmosphere that had been building up turned icy cold in an instant. For a moment, they panted and stared at each other. Winston’s lips slowly twisted as he stared at Yu-jin with a pale face, as if in shock.
“Well, I should be grateful that my turn has come.”
Soon after, he got up. His engorged member suddenly slipped out of Yu-jin’s insides, and Yu-jin stopped breathing for a moment in shock, his whole body convulsing. Haa, haa. Rough breaths escaped. He was dazed for a moment, his lower body exposed, but he belatedly came to his senses and hurriedly put on his clothes. His pants were caught on one ankle, slumped on the floor in a pathetic heap. He felt a sense of shame as he looked back on what he had just done.
He quickly straightened his clothes and turned around to see Winston sitting on the sofa, looking at him as if nothing had happened. The man, with one arm draped over the back of the sofa and his legs crossed, looked more arrogant than anyone else in the world. Just as he always had.
“Um.”
“What was that just now?”
Yu-jin opened his mouth, but Winston asked the question first. His gaze, fixed on him with a serious expression, was full of questions. Yu-jin felt his mouth dry up and mumbled an answer.
“What do you mean, what was it?”
He inwardly berated himself for stammering so pathetically, but it was already too late. Winston was looking at him with suspicious eyes.
He must be wondering why he opened himself up so easily.
But Yu-jin was just as confused. So, instead of answering, he returned the question.
“Why did you do that? You started it.”
It was a decent attack. But Winston didn’t seem flustered at all by the challenging question.
“If you have the chance to turn your imagination into reality, wouldn’t anyone take it?”
There was even a faint smile on his lips. As if he was reminiscing about what had just happened. As proof, Winston’s pheromone scent became even stronger. Yu-jin realized that the man was aroused again. The problem was that his own stomach was fluttering as well. He could feel the strong pheromone scent from the man’s semen still inside him. Barely managing to hold onto his reason, which was about to run away in an instant, Yu-jin opened his mouth.
“I’ll decide when I’m going out with Georgina, so keep that in mind.”
As he spat out the words as calmly as possible, Winston frowned and looked at Yu-jin, as expected.
“What does that mean? I don’t remember giving you permission.”
Seeing that he was visibly upset, Yu-jin deliberately leaned forward. He rested one hand on the back of the sofa, looked into Winston’s face, and spoke sweetly. Even though he knew that the pheromone scent was getting stronger.
“Honey, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.”
He had the upper hand this time. That fact gave Yu-jin great strength. He whispered in a lower voice. Looking into his deeply colored purple eyes.
“If you enjoyed it that much, you have to pay the price now.”
Winston didn’t react for a moment. His lips opened, but it took a little longer for a sound to come out.
“…Payment?”
“Yes.”
Yu-jin answered Winston, who repeated the word he had uttered after a pause. With a smile on his face,
“Why else would I have slept with you if not for that? You paid the price to get what you wanted. Why did I sleep with you? Because it was a deal, got it?”
Winston didn’t smile. He just stared silently at Yu-jin’s face. As if trying to find a sign of falsehood there.
Yu-jin barely endured the persistent gaze. On second thought, it wasn’t that difficult. He was just acting exactly as Winston had been telling him to all along. What was incomparably more difficult was enduring Winston’s strong pheromone scent.
“…Okay.”
Only after what felt like a long time did Winston finally open his mouth. Yu-jin barely swallowed the sigh of relief that was about to escape, and he continued in a slow tone.
“But there’s a condition. Make the appointment after Christmas.”
“Why?”
Yu-jin blurted out without realizing it. He had to get out of here as soon as possible, so what was with this ridiculous condition all of a sudden? Winston chuckled at Yu-jin’s reaction, who immediately protested and stepped back. In an instant, the initiative passed to him.
“Honey, I’m not satisfied enough. Either spread your legs until I’m satisfied, or be patient.”
And he deliberately, slowly, and firmly added.
“If you want to get ‘paid’.”
Yu-jin suddenly felt that Winston seemed to be very displeased with that word. Why? The man who had never hesitated to denigrate him as a male prostitute and a slut.
Was he feeling disillusioned about succumbing to such a person and committing such an act in the study? He probably was. If not, there would be no reason for the man to act like that. Yu-jin accepted that and glared at Winston with a rather displeased expression.
“What guarantee do I have that you’ll keep your promise?”
Winston instead gave him a blatant sneer at his undisguised distrust.
“What else can I do if you don’t trust me?”
Frustratingly, it was true. Yu-jin glared at Winston and clenched his fists, but he couldn’t bring himself to swing at him.
“I hope you keep your word, for the honor of the Campbell family.”
Yu-jin lifted his chin and spoke with as much dignity as possible. It would only be ridiculous to this man, but there was nothing he could do. Winston was right. What else could he do?
There was no reason to stay there any longer, so Yu-jin immediately turned around and ran out of the study as if fleeing. Winston didn’t bother to stop him.
Haa, haa.
Only after closing the door behind him did Yu-jin finally take a deep, hurried breath. Only then did his reason seem to return little by little.
That was close.
Feeling dizzy, he took one step at a time. The atmosphere between Winston and Yu-jin had returned to what it was before. It felt like some kind of emotion had passed between them for a moment, but that was it. Yu-jin had essentially kicked away the bridge that had barely connected them first.
This is better.
He steadied his weakening heart and thought. It’s better for that man to despise Yu-jin. To believe that he gave his body for a deal. But Yu-jin knew very well that it wasn’t true.
What should I do?
He couldn’t deny it anymore. The pheromone scent emanating from Winston kept messing with his mind. It was interfering with his rational thoughts and trying to make him succumb to desire.
Why now of all times?
Why did he suddenly start smelling that scent? Even after the sex, Yu-jin had been swayed by Winston’s pheromones the whole time. He had barely managed to resist the urge to kneel at his feet, unzip his pants, and put his member in his mouth countless times.
Absolutely not.
He absolutely didn’t want Winston to find out. If he saw him collapsing like this because of pheromones, how much would that man laugh at Yu-jin?
If I can just hold out until Christmas…
Let’s think positively. There are only a few days left. If I can just hold out a little longer, I’ll really be free. I’ll make an appointment with Georgina for the day after Christmas.
…But before that.
Yu-jin couldn’t make it to his room and opened the door to the nearest bathroom and went inside. His stomach was burning as if it was on fire. He grabbed his member with one hand and shoved the other hand into his rear, repeatedly moaning like a scream. The semen that had been pooling deep inside seemed to be flowing out little by little, soon soaking his fingers. Yu-jin continued to masturbate like that for a long time in a half-crazed state. But the throbbing sensation didn’t subside at all, and he staggered back to his room, his lower body numb. And for the next few days, the heat in his body didn’t subside and continued. The pheromone scent emanating from him became so strong that even he couldn’t handle it.
“Mr. Yu-jin.”
That morning, the Butler spoke to Yu-jin, who was lying in bed gasping for breath as usual, with a worried expression.
“Are you alright? Should I call a doctor?”
Yu-jin buried his face in the pillow and just shook his head. Oh dear, the Butler sighed.
“That’s strange. It can’t be a heat cycle since you’re pregnant…”
At that moment, Yu-jin was so surprised that his heart almost stopped.
