“Uh…?”

At some point, Valentin’s body was lifted up like a child, just like last time.

Reynard faced the surprised face staring at him with round eyes with his own eyes filled with passion and asked,

“Shall we go up?”

He didn’t ask where that place was.

Because it seemed like he knew where.

Already soaked in pink with his body, Valentin couldn’t bring himself to meet his eyes and nodded his head slightly.

The seductively thick pheromones of the dominant alpha and omega that could make one faint. In the stairs and corridors that they passed through too quickly and became empty, only the pheromones were left swaying.

* * *

That was the reason it turned out like this.

That was precisely the reason why he was now stupidly lying on this bed in the ducal residence.

Valentin was dumbfounded, reflecting on how the history of last night was easily achieved, flowing like water.

‘This time, even though it wasn’t planned, I caused an accident again…. I must be crazy, really….’

He pulled his hair, thinking of his own mental and physical strength that was weak to temptation and atmosphere.

No! This time, he clearly realized that he was also weak to alcohol.

‘Damn wine….’

What was really damnable was not the wine, but himself who drank it in gulps without restraint, saying it was delicious. However, Valentin, who wanted to turn a blind eye to that fact with all his might, was sneakily using alcohol as an excuse.

How pathetic could one be?

His faithful butler Dawson could now call him a fool young master from today, and he would have nothing to say. When he went home today, he would have to go with “fool” written on his forehead. While the small Valentin in his heart was talking nonsense again, his wrist caught his eye.

The red kiss mark engraved on the inside of his white wrist…. As soon as he saw it, last night’s events on the bed automatically replayed in his head like a film being shown.

[Ah…! This position won’t do…!]

[Why?]

When Valentin pleaded with a panting voice, Reynard slightly frowned.

[It’s too… too embarrassing….]

Reynard forcibly sat up Valentin, who had covered his eyes with both arms out of embarrassment. And he looked him straight in the eye, grinned mischievously, and persuaded him.

[Look, look. How pretty it is.]

[Ugh….]

While directly pointing downwards….

[Haa…. Take a good look with your own eyes how beautiful it is. How can you not look at this?]

[Don’t do that….]

[I can come several times with just this sight alone. And yet you say it’s embarrassing.]

As he said that, he stuck out his tongue and licked Valentin’s tearful pink eyes.

And he vehemently refused the request to change to a less embarrassing position, explaining how unreasonable it was, and the reason he stated was truly absurd.

His subjective claim about beauty that Valentin found difficult to understand – ‘This is the most beautiful sight in the world right now.’ – was mild.

He cited his own degree of arousal, which Valentin thought could never be quantified – ‘I can go all night seeing you in this position,’ or that he was about to burst for the first time in his life with just this sight alone. Of course, regarding the part about being about to burst, he would omit the detailed explanation because it was very embarrassing.

He thought he was a blunt alpha, but last night, it was as if some dialect had opened up, as he boasted unusually eloquent tongue skills only in bed.

Of course, that “tongue skill” had a double meaning.

Rustle.

He thought he had been silently agonizing over his scalp alone, but as expected, it seemed far from not getting caught by the naked alpha who had been sleeping while hugging him.

Especially since that alpha was a person who made a name for himself on the battlefield as a military officer, all the more so.

When it came to being alert, there was no beast like him.

“…Sleep more…”

Would it be really crazy to think even his husky voice was sexy here…?

“Good boy, Valentin…. Let’s sleep more….”

With a low voice, he requested the omega in his arms to fall asleep together again.

Valentin secretly sighed, feeling the breath touching his ear.

‘Now is not the time to sleep peacefully….’

His mind, completely sobered up from the alcohol, put the timid him back in his place.

When he didn’t answer and stayed still, he raised his muscular arm again and mercilessly pulled Valentin’s whole body into his arms. He must have intended to hug him and go back to his unfinished sleep.

“Ugh.”

I’m getting crushed…!

“Are you okay?”

This person must not know his own strength.

‘Is this how it feels to be eaten by an anaconda right before…!?’

It felt like his whole body was being wrapped and squeezed by a giant snake.

The alpha’s body, which had been lazily filled with sleepiness, moved quickly as if tensed by Valentin’s single groan that seemed to complain of pain. Reynard quickly sat up and lifted the blanket to examine Valentin’s body, so fast that it was hard to believe he had been sleeping until just now.

Flap.

“Ah!”

‘My blanket!’

Valentin’s naked body was shamefully exposed without a single cover.

“Where does it hurt?”

Pain was not the problem. The sun had already risen high in the sky, and the bright daylight pierced through the curtains and blatantly shone on Valentin. On the bed that shone so brightly, he was suddenly forced to show off his nude body without even the minimal defense of the bed sheet. Not knowing that he was screaming out of surprise and embarrassment, not pain, Reynard constantly examined the delicate body.

“Give it here!”

Although his body ached as if it had been beaten, Valentin gritted his teeth and did his best to pull the lifted sheet back and cover his body. And he glared at Reynard with a resentful face.

He even glared without realizing it. He must have really gotten comfortable. Indeed, there was nothing like eating and sleeping together to bring people closer…. Valentin was surprised by his own bold behavior that had changed in a day.

And he still pouted his lips in embarrassment.

“Why are you covering up? Let me see. You might be hurt somewhere.”

He didn’t seem to know what expression Valentin was making or why he was acting this way. Reynard kept trying to snatch the sheet away with a worried face, applying force again. The one pulling to the right and the one pulling to the left. They were pulling in opposite directions from both sides.

The white sheet was grabbed between the alpha and omega on the bed as if it would tear, moving back and forth tightly like a tug-of-war.

“Eek…! I’m not hurt! I’m fine, really!”

“No. I unintentionally knotted you yesterday, so you must have gotten hurt.”

Knotting…!

‘How can you say such a lewd word from the morning…!’

Valentin was so surprised that he almost let go of the sheet, but he grabbed it tightly again and spoke hurriedly.

“It wasn’t during heat, so I’m really okay…! You didn’t do it on purpose….”

Valentin recalled the accident from last night and answered, stammering in an ant-crawling voice that came out from within himself again.

‘I was thinking only about the patheticness that I forgot about the knotting….’

It was an accident that happened while they were completely absorbed in each other as if there was no one else in the world last night. Reynard was so flustered like a madman after unknowingly knotting him. And it was Valentin who reassured him instead.

It was his first time being knotted, so it was shocking and the momentary pain was tremendous, but it was true that it wasn’t very dangerous since it wasn’t during a heat cycle.

In fact, he had heard that long-term lovers or married couples sometimes intentionally knotted outside of heat for pleasure. He had heard that once you get used to it, the unique pleasure of knotting while pouring out pheromones was tremendous.

“You really don’t have to worry about that part.”

However, regardless of perceiving the seriousness of the situation lightly, it was too stimulating of a word for Valentin. His face, which was already red and purple, turned completely bright red.

“Really? You had a very hard time yesterday.”

“Yes. It’s okay.”

“I can’t believe it.”

“What?”

Has this person only lived being deceived?

“Come here quickly. I’ll apply medicine for you.”

“No. Let go of this…!”

The squabble of pulling the sheet from each other started again.

“I’m really worried. Especially since I’m not an average size either.”

Oh…!!!

‘What the hell is this from the morning, seriously….’

Valentin wanted to spit it all out, take off his age and rank insignia, and scream, but he held back with his last bit of reason.
