Fuck, okay. He didn’t need to see that.
“Ludiin?” Hym said, clearing his throat.
The omega flinched and slapped a hand to his chest.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you.”
“It’s fine,” he said, moving to the other side of the den. He stopped in front of a table. He picked up a pleasuring bot and started to dismantle it. He stopped and turned to him as if he’d just remembered he was there. “Sorry. Can I help you? I’m kind of in the middle of something.”
“Uhh…yes. Do you have a pleasuring bot that’s powerful enough to help me reach orgasm quickly during the heightened period of my heat,” Hym said, feeling uncomfortable speaking to his stepbrother about this.
“Why would you want that?” he asked coldly. “The purpose of a pleasuring bot is to enhance pleasure and make our heats as bearable as possible. At least, that’s how I want my customers to feel whenever they use my products. I don’t want them to rush through their heats or treat them like something that should be taken care of quickly.”
That’s not what he wanted either, but he kind of needed it. Or else he’d end up touching Jamue. He couldn’t fail at this.
“For my coming heat, I need quick and fast. I would shorten the days if I could. But that’s not possible. That’s why I came to you. Do you have something?”
“No.”
Fuck. That was not what he wanted to hear.
Ludiin turned to the table. He hummed as he continued to dismantle the pleasuring bot. He was already slipping back into his little world, shutting him out.
Hym closed his eyes and silently groaned.
He was going to fail.
Shit.
He opened his eyes to find Ludiin staring at him, a fascinated look in his eyes.
“What?”
“You’re exuding more aggression than usual. Is something wrong?”
Was he?
He stared at his nails. They were normal. His wolf wasn’t trying to push through and take over his body. His nails were usually the first to turn into black claws. Since his wolf was unpredictable, he took a step away from Ludiin. His brother would kill him if something happened to his precious omega.
“I’m a little frustrated. I thought you'd have something for me.”
“I’m sorry. My pleasuring bots are created to give my customers an experience,” he said, then his eyes narrowed thoughtfully. “Maybe if you tell me why you’re looking for something like that, I can recommend something.”
Uhhh…How was he going to put this?
“I met an omega. He’s a little averse to touching. I want to share my heat with him, but I can’t touch him.” Not yet anyway. He needed to jump the first hurdle.
“Okay.”
“Okay?” Hym said, confused.
The omega dropped the pleasuring bot on the table and walked to the steel shelf. He reached for a box and dropped it on the floor. Hym walked closer, curious to see what was inside the box.
“I created this a month ago,” Ludiin said, breaking the seal. He opened the box and took out the pleasuring bots, placing each set on the floor – a pair of headsets, a thick, hard cock attached to an automated device and a fantasy hole.
The headsets were the only new thing.
“What are the headsets for?” He asked, picking them up. They had a soft, plush feel to them.
