Damn, he shouldn’t have called him alpha or begged him, or gone crazy. Or agreed to Dr Micha’s crazy experiment.
Hazi finished preparing lunch. They ate, and soon enough his cousin and Adew’s manager left, leaving them alone. His house felt strange and awkward. He’d lived there alone for so long he’d forgotten what it felt like to have people around. To smell another scent lingering in the air other than his own. He heard Adew move around in his room, talking to Calla, filling the space with his larger-than-life presence. His voice echoed around him, causing butterflies to flutter in his stomach.
Dammit. Nylune ran to his office. He walked to his desk, sat down, then pushed to his feet again. He paced to the chaise and back to the desk, rattled.
How were they going to live together when his mere voice affected him?
They needed boundaries to keep their situation as impersonal as possible. Minimise contact and keep their living situation separate. It would be better if he couldn’t hear or smell him, but that meant he had to leave. Nylune chewed on his thumb, trying to think of how they could live separately for the coming days.
He only needed him for his heats. He didn’t have to see him or be around him.
A schedule, that’s what they needed. He’d already decided he was going to be with him twice a day, not four times. But maybe he could reduce that to once a day. He’d be with him during his third heat. The third time was usually quick and fast, less taxing on his body. He was less emotional too. He wouldn’t cling to him or call him his alpha.
Quick and fast, that’s what he needed.
Okay, Nylune nodded to himself satisfied with his decision. He went to find Adew. He was still in his room, unpacking his clothes. He looked right at home, his scent already permeating everything. This was a bad idea, Nylune thought as he stood at the door, not taking another step. Calla lifted his head from the spot on the floor in front of the bed and stared at him curiously.
“Oh, there you are. Lars is going to bring my WAB stand and exercise equipment. I hope you don’t mind.”
He did mind, but he couldn’t exactly refuse. He had to be there to help him. But everything was moving so fast. He couldn’t even take a minute to breathe, to get used to the fact that he’d spent four days with an alpha. Not just any alpha… Adew Pax. It still felt like he was dreaming. Nylune pinched his arm to make sure he wasn’t. He hissed as pain erupted on his skin.
Nope, he wasn’t dreaming. Adew Pax was standing in his house, okie and all.
It was ridiculous that he was moving in.
“No,” Nylune said.
“Thanks,” Adew said. Then he went back to unpacking, as if it were a normal thing to do. How was he this comfortable in someone else’s house when Nylune could barely look at him? “Did you need something?”
“We need to talk,” Nylune said. Adew stared at him expectantly. Shit. Did he have to look at him like that? He made him nervous and gooey inside. Nylune swallowed. He hated and loved how Adew affected him. Hated it because Adew wasn’t there because he wanted to be and loved it because the alpha made him feel good inside. It’s been a long time since he’d felt good. Felt the delicious tug deep in his stomach. It didn’t ache so much anymore.
“What?”
“Uhhh… my next heat is in an hour,” he blurted out.
“You need me,” he said softly.
No.
“Yes,” Nylune said, silently groaning because that’s not what he’d wanted to say. We’re going to be together only once a day for my third heat, that’s what he should have said. Nylune opened his mouth and closed it.
Why couldn’t he say it?
Nylune stared at his feet. He knew why. He wanted to be with Adew again – feel his delicious weight sink into him. His skin prickled as desire rocked through him. He pulled air through his teeth, panicking.
“No. Actually, I… I have to work. I forgot about that,” he said taking a step back, putting himself squarely out of the room.
“Work? What do you do?”
See… they didn’t even know each other. They were practically strangers. He shouldn’t want him.
“I test pleasuring bots,” Nylune said. “I’ll come to you when I need you.”
Adew’s brows shot up, making him blush.
Shit, Nylune internally cringed. Why did he have to make it sound like that? He walked down the hallway in as dignified a manner as he could muster. “I’ll see you later,” he threw over his shoulder.
“Of course,” he heard Adew say. Nylune ran all the way to his office. When his heat hit an hour later, he felt like he was going out of his mind. It was like nothing he’d ever experienced before. His skin was overly sensitive, his cock harder than steel. His hole pulsated to the beat of his heart, so wet liquid slid down his thighs. He backed up into the automated cock, squirming as it slid in and out of his hole in hard, fast thrusts. But it wasn’t enough. It didn’t make any sense. The pleasuring bot was just what he needed after spending four days with Adew Pax. He could change the settings to match his wildness and sensuous moves, but it wasn’t the same – something was missing. He wanted… the image of Adew holding him down as he pounded into him, his scent surrounding him filled his mind.
