“……Haa.”

A panting breath barely managed to escape his lips. Jung-hyun lightly avoided the lips that tried to press against him again and gave Shin Ho-jae’s chest a weak push.

“Let me… wash up first.”

When the kiss was blocked, Shin Ho-jae lightly kissed Jung-hyun’s eyebrow before pulling away. They were on the stairs leading from the garage into Jung-hyun’s house.

“I already showered.”

“No, not you, Ho-jae. I mean me. I’ve been outside all day….”

“Don’t wash. I like the way you smell.”

Jung-hyun frowned. He liked the smell? What on earth was he talking about?

“I don’t. And if we’re going to go all the way, there’s a lot to prepare.”

Jung-hyun spoke as he detached himself from the other man. Immediately, his arm was caught again.

“I’ll do it for you.”

“…What?”

“I looked into it a lot. I brought the things we need, too.”

Flustered, Jung-hyun’s mouth snapped shut as if he had eaten honey.

He’d do it for him? Did he even know what he was talking about? And what exactly had he brought? Jung-hyun wanted to ask lightly, as if teasing, but he couldn’t because Shin Ho-jae’s face, looking up at him from the stairs, was too serious.

Jung-hyun’s gaze lingered on Shin Ho-jae’s duffel bag, which looked strangely plump, before dropping away.

“…Let’s talk after I wash up.”

Jung-hyun told Shin Ho-jae to wait in the second-floor bedroom and entered the bathroom alone.

He stripped off his clothes and lifted the shower lever. Warm water cascaded down from the crown of his head. Jung-hyun washed his face under the pouring water, then covered his face with his hands and sighed.

His mind was a mess.

Hadn’t his goal from the beginning been to satisfy his own private desires? Since that was the case, he should have just accepted it happily, so why did he feel as if he were about to do something he shouldn’t?

However, the body is honest. Jung-hyun looked down at his slightly hardened length. Facing sex with Shin Ho-jae—there was no way he wouldn’t be aroused.

The thought of using his back end was burdensome, but that was something he had been prepared for since the moment he proposed the contract.

Jung-hyun pushed away the useless thoughts and squeezed a generous amount of body wash into his hand. Shin Ho-jae had offered to help him prepare, but he had no intention of taking those words literally.

They were both novices in this. To minimize injury, he figured it would be better to widen things a bit in advance.

Jung-hyun braced one hand against the bathroom tile and slowly inserted the other hand inside his hole. Since his finger was slippery with body wash, one went in more easily than expected.

As he gradually widened the inside, Jung-hyun somewhat hastily inserted another finger. The act of widening himself out of obligation wasn’t particularly pleasant, so his mind kept wandering.

He had said it was his rut period. Was his unusually anxious behavior a result of that? Even if he had taken suppressants, the instincts wouldn’t vanish completely. That was likely why he had requested sex first.

To be Shin Ho-jae’s rut partner. A hollow laugh escaped him, unable to believe it.

Even without thinking twice, this was an opportunity that would never come again. As he thought that, the filthy obsession and dirty desires he thought he had been suppressing lately began to swell.

Jung-hyun dried his hair roughly, threw on a robe, and sprayed a bit of perfume. As he stepped out of the bathroom hallway connected to the bedroom, he saw Shin Ho-jae, wearing only underwear, sitting by the bed and awkwardly pushing himself up.

Jung-hyun swallowed hard.

Just before leaving the bathroom, he had the foolish thought: What if he’s gone?

But Shin Ho-jae was in the bedroom, just as he had been when Jung-hyun entered the bathroom. And he was undressed. Seeing that made Jung-hyun’s mouth go dry. He felt the muscles in his body stiffen with tension. At this rate, it felt like he was the one experiencing this for the first time, not Shin Ho-jae.

The bedroom was slightly dim, lit only by indirect lighting. However, it wasn’t so dark that he couldn’t see the bruises on the man’s thighs and below his chest.

The oval bruise below his chest was a red that bordered on black, and the one on his thigh was a wide-spread blue. They didn’t look like they were only a day or two old. Jung-hyun frowned slightly.

“Ah, it looks a bit bad. It’s always like this during the season.”

Sensing the gaze, Shin Ho-jae spoke while covering the bruises with his hands. Even with protective gear, players often get hit by pucks or sticks during a game. That must be why he had those bruises.

Despite his comment about it looking bad, the wounds situated atop muscles forged by athletics only made his body look more dangerous and erotic.

As he thought that, the tension he had felt until now faded, and his body grew slightly hot.

Jung-hyun approached him slowly and placed a hand on his thick chest. Shin Ho-jae’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and his chest muscles tightened.

“It’s sexy. These are wounds someone like me, who just lifts dumbbells at the gym, doesn’t have.”

Jung-hyun applied steady pressure with his hand, pushing the awkwardly standing man back down to a seat. Then, he leaned down and kissed him. Perhaps not knowing how to kiss, the man closed his eyes a beat late. It was a light kiss, with their tongues only slightly intertwining.

When he pulled away and looked at the bed, something else caught his eye. It was a bath towel spread horizontally across the bedsheets. Looking at the color, it wasn’t a towel used in his own house. Jung-hyun blinked slowly and asked.

“What is this?”

“Ah, I heard it’s good to lay one down because gel gets on the sheets.”

“Who told you that?”

“Ji Min-chul….”

“So you brought it separately from home?”

A small laugh escaped Jung-hyun’s lips. So that was the reason the duffel bag had looked so plump.

If it was just a towel, he could have used one from the house. Imagining Shin Ho-jae folding this large towel and bringing it along made his chest ache with how cute it was.

Jung-hyun rested one knee beside where the man sat. As he shifted his weight, the mattress tilted slightly. Shin Ho-jae, who had fallen silent, had the lower part of his cheeks slightly flushed.

He had asked Ji Min-chul. Then did he also ask him how to have sex with a man? It wasn’t a bad choice. Since he and his lover, Yuk Du-min, were both Alphas, they would have to go through a process similar to what he and Jung-hyun were doing.

“You did well. I didn’t even think of that.”

“…Forget it. I think I did something unnecessary. You can just laugh at me.”

“No, really. Changing the sheets is a chore.”

Jung-hyun lightly tugged on Shin Ho-jae’s arm.

“Come here.”

It wasn’t so much a tug as it was a gesture, but Shin Ho-jae understood immediately and climbed onto the bed, following Jung-hyun as he lay down.

“Did you happen to bring gel too?”

Jung-hyun asked, sitting with his hips on the towel Ho-jae had laid out. He decided it would be better for the one with more experience in these matters to lead.

Shin Ho-jae lifted the edge of the towel to show him. He had wondered why one side was particularly bulging; the gel and condoms were hidden underneath. A smile spread across Jung-hyun’s lips once more.

Why hide things they were going to use immediately anyway? Did he think leaving them out was too explicit? He was cute and thoughtful.

“Do you want to try it yourself?”

“…….”

Shin Ho-jae only nodded. His mouth was set in a stiff line, as if he were nervous. Jung-hyun untied the knot of his robe and spread his legs. He kept his upper body half-raised, bracing himself on the mattress with his elbows.

In Jung-hyun’s field of vision were his own unerect genitals, his thighs spread with knees bent, and Shin Ho-jae, staring intently at the space between his legs.

Shin Ho-jae moistened his lips and let out a weak sigh. It was the sound of someone who had failed to control their breathing because they were too nervous.

Even though he was radiating awkwardness with his whole body, the sight of the nervous Shin Ho-jae reminded him of the man concentrating before a game, which felt incredibly sexy.

Handsome people really have an advantage in everything.

He tried to think of it as a flaw, but as he realized that the object of that focus was himself, his mood began to lift. Jung-hyun’s abdominal muscles trembled slightly as he felt breathless.

“Put some gel on your hand… and try putting them in one by one.”

Shin Ho-jae knelt with his large frame and poured some gel into his palm. Jung-hyun spread his legs wider to make it easier for him.

A single, slick finger carefully touched the hole. The entrance, already softened, accepted his finger without much resistance.

Shin Ho-jae swallowed hard.

“The hole is….”

“The entrance is quite soft. I loosened it up a bit. But the inside will be tight. My hand couldn’t reach that far….”

Shin Ho-jae moved his finger slightly inside and then inserted another. Perhaps because their hand sizes were different, he felt a pressure similar to when he had inserted three fingers himself earlier. Jung-hyun let out a low moan.

“Does it hurt?”

“Huu, no, it’s okay. It can tear, so do it gently. Slowly….”

The hand, which had slowed once at the sound of the moan, stopped completely. Frowning slightly at the sensation of the foreign object, Jung-hyun lifted his eyes and met the gaze of Shin Ho-jae, who was staring at him.

“You said that before, too, Representative.”

“…What?”

“Does that mean someone tore it before?”

Jung-hyun laughed softly. He was quick to pick up on things in the strangest places.

“Are you curious? I’ll tell you if you’re curious, but it’s not a very pleasant story.”

“…I want to hear it.”

Jung-hyun made a humming sound, hesitated, and then sat up straight.

There was nothing that killed the mood more than asking about a partner’s past experiences right before sex, but he felt it would be good to tell Shin Ho-jae properly.

“My first experience using my back was the worst. They inserted it without loosening me up properly, so the inside was all raw and the outside tore….”

Because no matter how he looked at it, the man’s size was far above average. If he were to deal with women later, he would have to be much more careful than he was with him.

“I suffered a lot for several weeks, so after that, I couldn’t bring myself to do it from behind again.”

“…….”

“It’s not a very pleasant story. Especially to hear right before sex.”

“……How long ago was that?”

Jung-hyun’s gaze turned toward him.

“Who did that to you?”

Shin Ho-jae’s face had hardened terrifyingly.
