“How I’ve been holding back.”

With that outburst, Reynard suddenly lost his self-control and pounced on his neck. Letting Valentin continue to caress his ears freely, as if to say, I’ll desire you too, so keep doing what you were doing.

In that way, they buried their noses near the pheromone glands where the scent was strongest among their exposed parts, and began to lick with their lips and tongues as if it were honey or syrup.

“Hm? Valentin. Do you know how I’ve been holding back?”

“Mmm… Ah, like that.”

“My omega. You’re becoming more and more bewitching…”

Large hands tightly embraced Valentin in his arms. The tailcoat he had dressed up in brightly and formally, saying he was going to his parents’ home after a long time, was mercilessly crumpled in those large hands.

“You know full well how I’ve been holding back, leaving you like this, yet you provoke me like this.”

“No… Huh. I don’t… don’t know.”

“If you don’t know that, it’s even more vexing.”

Reynard bit Valentin’s neck with his lips as if to punish the lovely villain. He was persistent, biting gently but giving enough stimulation.

“Hm? So Valentin. Do more. What were you trying to do?”

Reynard whispered into his ear, encouraging Valentin.

“What were you trying to do to me with that small body of yours?”

“I’m not small…! Ugh. You’re just too big, ah!”

Even as he melted under the alpha’s touch, lips, and pheromones, Valentin tried to flare up.

“Yes, yes, big Valentin. Tell me properly what you want to do. I’ll do it all for you.”

“Ah… Your…”

“Yes. My.”

“I want all of your… um. Your pheromones coming from here…”

Valentin answered honestly, feeling hot lips constantly messing with his neck. That honesty was quite unrestrained, as if it was some kind of inducement for excitement.

“Do you remember the day I came to you with roses?”

“Mm… Yes.”

He couldn’t forget. The day he learned about the pregnancy and the day of fainting.

“Back then, I thought my omega was so shy that he would never say such things in his life. No, that’s not right. You’re the omega who seduced me to go out together from Emerald Hall, so I actually knew you’d be like this.”

Even as he talked to himself, muttering and drawing conclusions, he already looked like he had lost his reason.

“Ahh. What do you mean you knew?”

“I knew you’d make me fall head over heels for you, make me lose my mind like this.”

Reynard finally lifted his face from Valentin’s neck, where he had been inhaling his pheromones deeply, and pressed his lips against his. As if saying that this was always the final destination, it was a natural progression and he couldn’t be happier.

Valentin wrapped his arms around his husband’s neck as he sought his lips, ran his fingers through his hair, and pulled him closer.

“Ah…”

Hot lips swallowed small lips, carefully licking the bottom before pulling it back into his mouth and sucking. The delicate lips were completely messed up.

The thick tongue tapped Valentin’s front teeth as if asking to open the door. Even such a teasing movement on a place that shouldn’t have sensation made his chest tingle. Valentin opened his mouth, opening the door to the small and delicate place. And he busily sucked on the tongue that filled his mouth, licking and rubbing it as if he couldn’t bear how much he liked it.

“Haa…”

The body heated with excitement craved more oxygen.

Valentin, not satisfied with breathing through his nose, briefly separated his lips and took a deep breath.

A silver thread connected between the two lips where breaths were exchanged, then snapped with a ‘pop’ due to the rough breathing.

When did he get up there…? Now, not just being held in his arms, he had raised his body and was sitting face to face on top of his alpha, making his eye level higher. Reynard looked up at Valentin’s flushed face, panting, and asked with one corner of his mouth raised.

“Done breathing?”

“What?”

“Seems like you’re done.”

“W-Wait…!”

Valentin, who hadn’t finished catching his breath, covered Reynard’s lips with both hands.

“By the way, what were you three talking about earlier?”

It was a question thrown to buy more time to breathe, but it was also something he had been meaning to ask since earlier when they were alone.

“…?”

Reynard suddenly stiffened.

The atmosphere, which had been sticky just moments ago, instantly became tense.

“What… Are you hiding something from me?”

This subtle feeling of a fish being caught on a fishing line of a question thrown without much thought…. Valentin saw Reynard vaguely avoiding his eyes and squished his face with both hands, making him look straight at him.

“What’s this? Is it real? What secret were you three talking about?”

When Valentin interrogated Reynard with a suspicious look, he let out a small sigh. Then, kissing the tip of Valentin’s nose, he opened his mouth that had been heavily closed.

“I just told them that you’re doing better now because they were worried seeing you looking gaunt.”

Ah. Valentin nodded slightly at that answer. Indeed, it was something they would talk about without him. He was a husband who always worried excessively about whether he would be upset, cry, or hurt somewhere. Maybe he had been called by his father and Dalton, saying he would handle it alone.

“Can I continue what we were doing now?”

Reynard pounced again as if he couldn’t wait any longer. Although it seemed suspicious, like he was trying to gloss over without saying more, Valentin was captivated by those hot lips again and lost his mind.

This time, his tongue came over first, blocking the small mouth, causing the omega to miss the chance to respond. I don’t know why I even asked if it was going to be like this. Feeling his whole body boiling with excitement again, Valentin ran his fingers through his hair once more.

“Aah…!”

“Look how hot you’ve become already.”

Who made him so heated up, yet he’s teasing like this with such a lewd exclamation…!

Large hands finally caressed bare skin, pushing aside the tail of Valentin’s coat. The victor who had pushed aside the coat, vest, and shirts had reached the destination of desire. Reynard tickled Valentin’s delicate skin with his short, neat nails raised.

In the midst of this, Reynard asked with a mischievous face, raising only one corner of his mouth.

“Are you wet?”

Wet? Valentin’s face heated up at the blatant and lewd question.

“Valentin, you don’t know how much I hold back usually….”

“Hik!”

Valentin flinched at the ticklish caress, being weak to such touches.

“In fact, every time I see you, how much I want to endlessly dig into these lips, how much I want to bite and lick this white skin all day long.”

Now his left hand had also reached Valentin’s waist skin. His right hand had already worked its way up to the shoulder blade. Hot lips traced his cheek and around his mouth again as he continued speaking.

“You really don’t know. If you knew, you absolutely couldn’t do this. You couldn’t provoke me so cruelly like this.”

“Ah! Reynard.”

“Hm? Do you know how close your husband is to the limit of his patience. I’m barely holding onto my sanity right now.”

“Mmm…! Ah, there!”

“How dare you break that. No, what am I saying ‘how dare you’. Only you can make me like this.”

They had the same thought. This confidence that you and I are the only ones who can do this to each other.

“It’s because you’re so vexing I want to bite you, and bewitching on top of that. In fact, you’re the one who can control me with a finger and break my reason whenever you want, aren’t you.”

He’s been busy talking to himself and agreeing with himself all this time. And how flamboyantly his hands and lips are moving meanwhile. Valentin could only think such random thoughts as he melted under the passionate lips and touches, unable to respond.

Reynard continued speaking with a mischievous look in his eyes, as if he had no time to hear Valentin’s response, whose face had turned bright red.

“If your health wasn’t so precarious… I would have desired you all the time. Well, then I wouldn’t have been able to see this adorable sight.”

Reynard’s hand, which had been caressing his waist, moved over to gently stroke his swollen belly. He looked as if he found the rounded shape from pregnancy unbearably cute.

“Ah… This is a bit, a bit strange.”

Valentin, who had been active until now, unconsciously stiffened and shrank back when Reynard touched his belly.

“What is?”

Reynard’s expression, with only one eyebrow raised again, was no different now than when they first met. As kind as if he would give everything in the world, but like this lewd inner self that always makes him uncomfortable…. As if love, kindness, and playfulness were separate things. As if saying, I tease you and play tricks on you more because I love you.

His excessive honesty that always bewildered him was the same then and now. Valentin pouted his lips, feeling a new sense of the time that had passed as he looked at the unchanged him.

“Don’t bring up the baby in this kind of atmosphere…”

“…?”

“It feels creepy, like the baby is staring at us from the middle while we’re touching each other so explicitly…”

Valentin shuddered, saying it was like having a baby between a couple making love in bed. Shaking Reynard’s collar, he insisted that it was absolutely not something that should happen to either the child or the adults.

“Why? It’s because we made love like this that we have the baby?”

“Aaaagh!”

Valentin, hearing Reynard’s words, pummeled his shoulders repeatedly. His angry chinchilla expression was full of shock.
