SCOM - Chapter 74
Chapter 74
Zuo Luohuan had only opened the door halfway, her hand gripping the handle, ready to slam it shut at any moment. She'd come to the door simply to get whoever was outside to leave, but she hadn't expected it to be Ji Yuezhi. He stood there, looking at her with those beautiful, clear eyes, a faint scent of shower gel clinging to him—a scent she didn't particularly like.
As Ji Yuezhi spoke, Zuo Luohuan was distracted, thinking that the scent wasn't as pleasant as iris. When she heard him say the suppressant was from Xiang Chengping, she grew even more irritated.
Since the beginning of their first year, Ji Yuezhi's name had often been linked with Xiang Chengping. Before, everyone had assumed he would present as an Alpha, so Zuo Luohuan hadn't thought much of it. But now that Ji Yuezhi was an Omega… the thought of him going to borrow suppressants while Xiang Chengping was also in rut filled her with displeasure. An Alpha in rut could be calmed by an Omega's pheromones. Since they were all young, single Alphas, it would be strange if they didn't have any ulterior motives during such encounters.
The person in front of her was still talking. “…Should I get Dr. Fang?”
The tightly wound string in Zuo Luohuan's heart suddenly snapped. She pulled him inside, slamming the door shut. Her leg pressed against Ji Yuezhi's as she leaned in, her head resting against the scent gland on the back of his neck. "Yuezhi, you have a photographic memory. I told you a few days ago that S-rank suppressants don't work on me. Don't you remember?"
The Alpha's hot breath, laced with a strong sense of threat, hit the Omega's scent gland. Any Omega with a functioning scent gland would be alerted and push the Alpha away.
Ji Yuezhi didn't push Zuo Luohuan away. Instead, he turned his face, trying to look at her. They were so close that his nose accidentally brushed against Zuo Luohuan's cheek. His eyelashes fluttered as he looked up at her with an innocent, pure expression. "I thought… it might still have some effect. You looked uncomfortable."
So close, Zuo Luohuan could smell Ji Yuezhi's pheromones, faint beneath the scent of shower gel, yet alluring. One hand around him, the other pressed hard against the door, her knuckles white with restraint, she inhaled the faint iris scent. She gritted her teeth, almost tasting blood, before slightly loosening her grip, preparing to let him go.
Just then, Ji Yuezhi softly asked, "Are you in a lot of pain?"
"…I'm fine. It'll pass after a while." Zuo Luohuan had already released him, her head tilting back to create distance between them, ready to step aside.
But Ji Yuezhi reached out and grabbed her arm. "You helped me before. Now I can help you."
Instead of being pleased, Zuo Luohuan's brow furrowed in annoyance. "So you have to help anyone who temporarily marks you?"
Leaning against the door, Ji Yuezhi looked at Zuo Luohuan, not answering her question, but instead asking, "You said you'd tell me a secret. I want to hear it."
Zuo Luohuan: "..."
Alphas in rut tended to be more irritable and their emotions more overt. Ji Yuezhi stared at Zuo Luohuan, not missing a single flicker of emotion on her face. He suddenly smiled, a smile as bright as the first blossoms of spring emerging from the snow.
Zuo Luohuan was momentarily stunned by his smile. The next second, Ji Yuezhi stepped forward, pressing himself into her arms, his lips meeting hers.
—The room filled with the sweet scent of iris.
"Feeling better now?" Ji Yuezhi's lips brushed against Zuo Luohuan's as he looked up at her.
Zuo Luohuan tilted her head back, avoiding his childish nuzzling. Her throat tightened as she reached out to grip his chin. "Ji Yuezhi, has anyone ever told you you're a terrible actor?"
A top student with perfect grades who never skipped class like her, how could he not know what an Alpha in rut needed?
Ji Yuezhi didn't speak, just quietly looked at her.
…
The higher the Alpha's rank, the more severe their rut. With the room filled with the scent of iris and an Omega practically offering himself to her, if the Alpha still showed no reaction, something must be wrong.
Zuo Luohuan suddenly lowered her head and kissed him, biting his lip a little roughly, but gently sucking on his tongue. He wrapped his arms around her, moving closer, almost in a posture of offering. The Omega's body felt like a soft cloud in her embrace, warm and wet against her lips. The Alpha couldn't bear to let go. She pulled back slightly to let the Omega breathe, then kissed him again.
"On purpose?" Zuo Luohuan pressed her forehead against Ji Yuezhi's, listening to his soft pants. She lifted her hand, pressing her thumb against his lips, slowly grinding it against them.
Ji Yuezhi was very compliant, his eyelashes half-lowered, letting Zuo Luohuan do as she pleased, not saying a word, as if he hadn't been the one initiating the kisses and deliberately provoking the Alpha.
Zuo Luohuan used her index and middle fingers to pry open Ji Yuezhi's lips, slipping them inside to touch his soft, warm tongue. She asked mischievously, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Ji Yuezhi looked up at Zuo Luohuan. Unlike the suppressed agitation from before, her eyes were now filled with a deep lust as she gazed at him.
The Omega gently closed his lips, his tongue obediently entwining with her fingers. His eyelashes trembled intensely, causing the initially fierce Alpha to pause.
"Enough." The Alpha withdrew her fingers, and the Omega didn't try to stop her, obediently opening his mouth.
Zuo Luohuan pulled out her wet fingers and kissed Ji Yuezhi's lips again, this time much more gently.
The Alpha carried the Omega to the bed, pressing him down, nuzzling and kissing the scent gland on the back of his neck. As if reluctant to bite down too hard, she gently nibbled and kissed the soft flesh, still refraining from a temporary mark.
The Omega couldn't stand this slow, deliberate teasing. His entire body flushed crimson. He occasionally tried to struggle, but was firmly held down by the Alpha.
An icy aura gradually filled the room, the cold air clinging to the Omega, soothing the heat rising within him. Ji Yuezhi leaned into the Alpha behind him, wanting her to release more pheromones. The scent of iris grew sweeter, mingling with the icy fragrance, gradually transforming into a different kind of sweet, watery scent.
"Yuezhi…" Zuo Luohuan suddenly called out.
"Hmm?" Ji Yuezhi, still craving more of her pheromones, turned his head in confusion, wanting to see Zuo Luohuan's face.
The next second, Zuo Luohuan held him down, sinking her teeth deep into his scent gland, pouring her pheromones into him.
The dominant, overbearing Alpha pheromones surged in. The Omega's body stiffened. He felt a sharp sting in his scent gland, then a sensation of his entire being being immersed in the icy aura.
The Omega willingly submitted beneath the Alpha, their pheromones gradually merging, the room thick with an ambiguous tension.
After a long while, the restless heat in Zuo Luohuan's heart subsided. She released Ji Yuezhi's scent gland and pulled him up. His forehead was covered in a fine sheen of sweat, which she gently wiped away.
"Don't do that again." Zuo Luohuan hadn't expected Ji Yuezhi to… provoke her like that.
"Do what?" Ji Yuezhi leaned against Zuo Luohuan's shoulder, exhaustion evident in his features. He wasn't in heat, and Zuo Luohuan was a top-tier Alpha. This temporary marking was extremely draining for him.
Zuo Luohuan covered his eyes with her hand and whispered, "Get some rest."
That secret, in the end, remained unspoken that night.
