Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 127: In Exchange
Mu Yuze sucked in a sharp breath.
His mouth instantly ran dry as his gaze zeroed in on the curl of He Juan’s lips. He had known how it felt to be pleasured by those lips before. And even though it was not his cock, he knew that it would be equally or more mind-blowing. He could see through He Juan’s dilated pupils that the Alpha was barely holding on to a feeble and pitiful restraint.
And this was in line with his original purpose – to provoke and test He Juan’s bottom line and shatter that self-control he was so proud of.
Alas, when all was said and done, he was still an omega deep within.
They had been hiking all day and he had sweated enough to make his whole body feel sticky. Every omega wanted nothing but to present their best state to the Alpha they liked, and he was not an exception. He wanted He Juan to see and feel only the best, cleanest and fragrant self of him. And thus, no matter how much he was longing for Juan-gege’s mouth around him, he still clung onto his resolve.
"No," he tried to use the firmest tone he could muster.
He Juan had somehow expected this answer and despite feeling a tad disappointed, he swiftly covered it up with a slow and easy smile. This was good. If Mu Yuze was quick to answer his demand, then he would only get more and more unbridled!
"Alright, I understand," he let out a brief chuckle and scratched his cheek sheepishly. "But if change your mind, just let me–"
"In exchange," Mu Yuze did not look He Juan in the eye as he slightly tilted his head to the side to show the line of his graceful neck. His deep crimson ear was a stark contrast to his pale skin. His voice was shaking ever so slightly. "In exchange, you can... Juan-gege can take off my gland patch."
He Juan inhaled sharply and the rest of his words were choked back on his throat. Of course, he knew how important a gland patch was to an omega, and for Mu Yuze to allow something like this... he did not only show the desire for deeper intimacy, but also a whole lot of trust and dependance on He Juan...
This kind of act struck him harder than if Mu Yuze agreed to let him suck his cock. A thousand times harder. His heart was beating so hard that he could feel it on the tip of his fingers and his head was dizzy from the sudden rush of happiness. Oh God, this omega was just so...
He Juan swiftly rose to his feet and towered over Mu Yuze’s figure. In this position, he could easily see the transparent gland patch on Mu Yuze’s neck. Reaching out, he gently held Mu Yuze’s small face in one hand, while the other moved to stroke the edge of the patch on his nape. He sensed it when a visible shudder ran through Mu Yuze’s body.
And to be honest, He Juan’s inner state was not any better either despite his calm and steady appearance. He was just too damn good at faking it.
When He Juan peeled off one corner of the patch, Mu Yuze’s body went utterly still. He was not even breathing. However, He Juan’s keen eyes caught the palpable tremble of Mu Yuze’s chest from how hard his heart was drumming, and the knuckles that were gripping the counter were ghastly white.
"Sshh..." He Juan moved without thinking to soothe his omega. He stroked Mu Yuze’s cheek while releasing a faint strand of soothing pheromones. "Don’t be afraid, Gege will not do anything to you..."
Mu Yuze’s head was still tilted to the side and after a moment’s pause, he nuzzled his cheek deeper into He Juan’s broad palm to show his approval. His lashes slowly fluttered shut while he struggled to control his ragged breathing. Such a show of trust and firm resolve prompted He Juan to move. He did not waste any more time and quickly, carefully peeled Mu Yuze’s gland patch off.
As soon as that thin blockage was removed, Mu Yuze’s pheromones exploded in the air, suffusing the warm bathroom with the intoxicating scent of sweet lavender and icy peppermint.
There was a reason why Omegas tended to wear patches. Aside from protecting their sensitive gland, it could also be used as concealment because there were a lot of things one could discern from their scent alone. For example, right now. Just with a single inhale, He Juan could already pick up the sliver of tension, anxiety, anticipation as well as a whole lot of arousal from the omega.
He Juan drew in a sharp gasp. Mu Yuze wanted him. He wanted He Juan as much as He Juan wanted him – but as long as Mu Yuze had not given him the green light, then He Juan would behave himself to the best of his ability.
He forced himself to ignore the alluring scent that kept beckoning him in and gently scoop Mu Yuze into his arms. The feel of silky skin under his palms was driving him crazy, but fortunately the bathtub was only less than five steps away. All the way, He Juan held his breath and did not allow his eyes to wander as he lowered Mu Yuze into the warm water.
The tiny satisfied groan Mu Yuze let out was honestly very dangerous for his poor heart, and once again, He Juan commended himself for his exemplary self-control. Good job for not pouncing on him, He Juan!
"Does the temperature suit you?" He Juan asked worriedly. "This is the first time I have ever drawn a bath for someone, so I just followed what I usually did..."
Mu Yuze paused, and a tinge of redness settled on the corner of his eyes as he raised his half-lidded gaze to look at He Juan. "...It’s perfect, Juan-gege," he said almost in a contented purr. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
He Juan’s heart skipped another beat and he forcibly withdrew his gaze from Mu Yuze’s face to the rack of bottles on the side. His laughter sounded weird and forced even to his own ears. "Okay, that’s good. Next..."
Under Mu Yuze’s guidance, He Juan grabbed the bottle of body wash and poured a generous amount on the loofah, rubbing it until it was foamy and soft all over.
(Mu Yuze’s body wash smelled just like him – lavender – and He Juan secretly noted the brand in his heart so that he could buy it for himself later.)
After that, he dedicated all his attention to rubbing Mu Yuze’s arms, shoulders and back, fulfilling the mission of an Alpha in courting ritual.
As Mu Yuze’s body was buried in a sea of bubbles, an unprecedented sense of satisfaction filled He Juan and he learned the gratifying pleasure of bathing his omega for the very first time.
He Juan was so carried away with creating more bubbles that Mu Yuze had to hold his wrist to stop him. The omega put on a speechless look as he snatched the loofah from He Juan’s hand. "Enough," he said darkly. "I will do the rest myself."
"Oh..." He Juan scratched his cheek, sheepish. It looked like he had overdone it. He cleared his throat and sensibly averted his gaze to give Mu Yuze some space. The sound of splashing water washed over him and his treacherous mind could not help but imagine what the scene was like when that loofah traveled down Mu Yuze’s wet and alluring body...
Enough, He Juan! It’s already good that Xiao Ze is allowing you to do this, you shouldn’t take a mile after being given an inch!
He Juan tried to subdue the rising heat in his body with steel willpower, but it was proven immensely difficult when the scent of omega’s arousal had not dispersed in the air yet. How strange. He had clearly used more liquid soap on purpose to cover that scent so how come it became more and more intense? Now he could not ignore it even if he wanted to! Was it only a figment of his imagination or... was it Mu Yuze that—
"Gege, I’m done," the omega’s voice drifted behind him, breaking the line of He Juan’s thought.
