Free Web NovelChapter 163: Did someone say...
Seoha’s POV
I wake up feeling more satisfied than I’ve felt in a while despite falling asleep unhappy.
My omega is still sulking about not getting knotted, but my body is grateful to be near the alpha I love.
Taesan’s arm around me keeps me locked in place.
My back is pressed against his hot chest, and my breath stutters when a puff of air from his mouth heats up my nape.
Just feeling his breath against my skin is already starting to send static through my body.
If I stay this way, I would get needy again, and he doesn’t want to take me yet.
I move slightly and his arms tighten around my midsection, crushing me to his body, and I feel every hard ridge of his body even better.
"Where are you going?" he asks with a rough voice.
Goddess, he sounds so...attractive and threatening.
It’s as if we are back in the hotel when he forced me to sleep next to him, his gun was lying nearby, just waiting for me to say no.
But this time, it’s different in a good way.
"I want to take a bath and change my clothes..."
"No" he says, pressing his nose into my neck.
"But...work" I say, shivering from how close he is to me.
"Fuck work, I want you here" he growls deeply and my omega purrs in response as I let my body relax.
"Okay" I whisper in surrender and his scent softens, wrapping us in a cloud of his pheromones.
Our silence doesn’t last for even five minutes before a knock breaks us apart.
"Taesan, open the door right now" Junho’s voice comes from the door and Taesan groans like an annoyed teenager.
"Shit" he curses loudly and I choke my laughter from how adorable he sounds.
"Don’t laugh, it’s not funny" he grumbles.
The alpha lets go of me before finally getting out of the bed, and I have to divert my eyes to avoid looking at his tattooed chest.
He’s too attractive for me to look at this morning.
"What are you doing here?" Taesan asks as he yanks the door open and I burrow into the sheets to hide myself.
I’m still completely naked.
"You destroyed your phone yesterday" Junho responds and I peek out from under the sheets at the two men.
One is fully dressed in a three piece suit with his hands in his pocket, and the other one is only wearing a pair of grey pants that are barely held up by his muscular butt.
’Alpha’s butt...’ my needy omega whispers and I sigh.
’No, Seoha, you won’t think of things like that’ I scold myself, feeling my cheeks heat up.
"And so?" Taesan asks.
"I just came to see if you’re alive, you were pretty...gone yesterday" Junho says and Taesan’s tense back muscles relax.
"I’m okay" he says, glancing over his shoulder at me and Junho follows his line of sight.
"I see" he says with that same stoic tone he always speaks with.
Now that he knows I’m here, I give a small bow and he returns it before turning his attention to Taesan.
"I see" he repeats, sounding like he’s judging his boss this time around.
"We’re courting" Taesan says and Junho’s eyes land on mine again, as our eyes meet I hide again in the sheets, feeling even more awkward.
"That’s not how courting works" Junho points out and Taesan folds his arms.
"What do you know about courting?" he asks his righthand man.
"Going on dates" Junho says quickly. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"Did someone say double date?" Minjae’s voice comes from outside and my brows shoot up, almost touching my hairline.
He’s going to tease me about this till I die.
"Double date?" Taesan asks like the word is entirely new to him.
"Seoha, I can smell you all the way from here, come on, let’s get you dressed for our double date" Minjae singsongs.
"What double date?" I ask in confusion and Minjae shows his face.
"Wow, he’s so buff, no wonder he thinks he’s that tough, I’m a bodybuilding man too" Minjae says, completely distracted from talking to me.
"I am tough" Taesan defends himself.
"I beat you at FIFA" Minjae points out and Taesan scoffs, turning around and coming back into the room.
"Um..." Junho starts, looking shy at Minjae’s presence.
What is even going on here?
"Seoha, let’s go" Minjae calls and I shake my head.
"I can’t" I mumble and he gasps dramatically.
"Oh my goddess, you’re naked?" he screeches.
"Minnie" I whine his name, mentally begging him to stop embarrassing me, but he keeps laughing.
"Junho, take that thing out of here" Taesan orders and Junho sighs tiredly.
The beta looks like dragging Minjae out is the last thing he wants to do, but Minjae grins at me.
He winks at me in a cheeky way as Junho carries him out bridal style.
"Oh! Seoha doesn’t have any clothes for the date" my best friend yells and I smack myself in the face.
"Where did that man even come from?" I whine into my palm in embarrassment.
"We don’t have to go anywhere if you don’t want to".
The bed dips as Taesan sits on the edge of it and he pulls my hands down from my face, smiling softly at me.
"No, I want to...I would really like to" I reply shyly and the alpha gets up, drawing himself to his full height.
"Is it true you don’t have clothes?"
"I still have my old ones..." I trail off.
I would look like a begger next to Taesan in those clothes, they are old and stretched out, my hoodie even has a stain that won’t go away.
"Seoha" Taesan calls my name firmly and I look up at him, recalling myself to the present.
"Why did you reject my clothes?" he asks.
"I thought you were rejecting me and sending me away with a gift" I explain myself and he places his hand on my head.
I purr gently, pushing my head into his hand like a puppy seeking its owner’s touch.
"It was an apology baby, I can never reject you...I’ve tried and I’ve failed too much to ever try again" he says.
My chest swells with pride, happy at the alpha’s words, and I give a happy whine.
"Will you wear them, hmm? Treasure?" he asks and I nod.
I’ll wear them like I wear his mark.
