Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 132: Insecurity

Mu Yuze’s heart beat faster and faster at He Juan’s declaration. He knew that Juan-gege had misunderstood what he meant by ’petty and dirty tricks’ but... he had no intention to correct him. Sweetness welled in his heart, but at the same time, there was also a tinge of bitterness.

He felt like a child who secretly stole candies when his parents were not home. It was thrilling and exciting, yet he was also tiptoeing along the line of anxiety because he had no idea when his parents would return and confiscate his candies. By then, he had no idea if he could still taste this sweetness again...

Mu Yuze looked into He Juan’s gentle eyes and his nose suddenly turned sour.

If only you know, gege, that this is also one of my petty tricks... 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He Juan had deliberately said something like that to cheer Mu Yuze up. He had no idea why Mu Yuze looked sad all of a sudden, but his words... they made He Juan think that this person was afraid he would dislike him for not being the norm. Mu Yuze was really unlike ordinary omegas who were taught to be meek, delicate and submissive toward their Alphas, but He Juan liked him like this – the cool, domineering yet adorable Mu Yuze who liked to catch him off guard and often caused his heart to stop beating.

He only wanted to convey how he would adore Mu Yuze no matter what kind of omega he was, how He Juan was perfectly willing to indulge and dote on him, but... why did it seem like Mu Yuze became even sadder instead?

When the light in those beautiful eyes wavered as if covered by a layer of mist, panic surged in He Juan’s heart. Flustered, he cupped Mu Yuze’s small face in his broad palms and wiped the corner of his damp eyes. "W–Why are you crying? Did I say something wrong?"

Mu Yuze shook his head and whispered in a nasal voice, "I’m just... happy." Even though he said that, his complexion did not improve, as if tumultuous dark clouds had blocked the only ray of sunlight in his world.

Of course, He Juan was not convinced. But before he could even rebuke, the slender arms around his neck suddenly tightened and hot air caressed his ear, bringing with it the intoxicating and lovely scent of the omega’s pheromones. "Gege is so good to me..." A scorching kiss fell under his ear, to the side of his neck until those luscious lips brushed against his sensitive gland. Mu Yuze’s voice was incredibly seductive when he pleaded softly, "Gege, pamper me more?"

He Juan drew in a gasp and his arms went around the omega’s waist, tightening and trapping the omega within the cocoon of his embrace until nothing could come between them. This direct attack to the gland was a provocation that no Alpha could resist.

He Juan’s head was going utterly blank. Every lick of Mu Yuze’s tongue sent an electrifying thrill down to the tip of his toes and oh God... this was quickly driving him crazy! He could no longer go against his instinct to grind his erection against Mu Yuze’s core, resuming the erotic rhythm that was interrupted earlier.

"Oh God, Mu Yuze, Mu Yuze..." He Juan buried his face into Mu Yuze’s shoulders, gasping, as he tried to keep his canines away. The omega in his arms was so soft, so delectable and alluring, and his skin was just an inch away from He Juan’s mouth, waiting for him to bite into...

With a pained groan, He Juan suddenly exerted strength and eased Mu Yuze down to the bed with his palm protecting the back of Mu Yuze’s head, effectively flipping their position in a flash. The stunned expression on Mu Yuze’s face was so adorable that He Juan could not help but chuckle. "What’s wrong, Xiao Ze?" his voice was breathless. "Don’t you want Gege to pamper you more, hmm?"

Sprawled between the fluffy blankets with his collar askew, Mu Yuze was akin to every alpha’s wet dream, beautiful and enchanting in equal measure. In this position, his shirt was hiked up, giving He Juan a glimpse of the sinful black lacy underwear underneath. He Juan almost stopped breathing right there and then.

In spite of that, he still could not get Mu Yuze’s sorrowful look out of his head. It shocked him so much to see Mu Yuze in such a vulnerable state when he was usually very formidable and aloof. And now without Mu Yuze’s hot and teasing tongue on his gland, He Juan began to see things with more clarity.

He came to an abrupt realization that... it was Mu Yuze’s attempt to distract him.

Not only that, he also provoked He Juan’s bottom line again and again on purpose. He Juan had no idea what he was doing this for, but... he suddenly recalled Jia Molei’s answer when he asked the Beta about Mu Yuze’s nesting habit – "Your omega must be feeling incredibly insecure. If he still acts like this even in his own house, it means that deep down, he doesn’t feel safe with the notion of ’home’. It is most likely due to rough childhood upbringing. Something must have happened when he was small that he could only feel stable when he’s surrounded in his nest. I advise you to pay attention to his emotional state..."

Insecure.

Right, that was the word. Mu Yuze had always been insecure as if he was afraid that the things he owned would be taken away.

He Juan recalled how cold and alienated Mu Yuze looked when he was talking about his parents and realized that the part about ’rough childhood upbringing’ must have some truth to it. And that was the reason why he started to behave like an alpha, wanting to possess and mark so that he could bind He Juan to his side...

When He Juan thought about this, he felt like he could understand most of Mu Yuze’s behavior so far. A twinge of pain stabbed He Juan’s heart, yet his smile remained impeccable as he ran his palm up Mu Yuze’s silky thigh. "How do you want Gege to pamper you? It’s okay, you can tell me, Precious. Tonight will be all about you..."

He figured that Mu Yuze’s insecurity would not go away merely with vocal reassurance, so... he was going to use action to prove that he meant his words.
