    Chapter 95

    “Ugh
!”

    A faint groan slipped from Aiden’s lips. It was likely because this was the first time Jaeha had bared his teeth at him. With his face buried in the crook of Aiden’s neck and panting, Jaeha bit down and sucked at his skin. It was a frantic act, like an animal in heat.

    Aiden tilted his head and bit Jaeha in return. Unlike Jaeha, whose nature was timid and fearful of harming others, Aiden sank his teeth in without hesitation, biting down hard enough to make Jaeha cry out in something close to a scream.

    “Ahh
!”

    “Jaeha, Song Jaeha, Jaeha, ha ha, haha!”

    “Sl-slow down, ah, ah, ugh
!”

    He had been crying so much his nose was clogged, his breath stifled, and drool streamed down his chin. His lower body throbbed dully. Even as waves of terrible pleasure coursed through him, he was also overwhelmed with fear.

    The strength in his arms, which held onto Aiden for support, gradually began to give out, and he gripped the hem of Aiden’s clothes desperately to avoid falling. His back scraped repeatedly against the wall as his body rocked up and down. Even though he hadn’t taken off his top, his back began to sting sharply.

    “Stick your tongue out.”

    The command came arrogantly, forcefully. Just how many people had seen the real face beneath his mask? Probably not many. Having seen it now, Jaeha should’ve been afraid—he should’ve been terrified


    Jaeha obediently extended his tongue, trembling. He had been panting so much that drool was dribbling from his lips. Aiden pulled his hips back and thrust hard, simultaneously pressing in for a kiss. Or rather, he bit.

    “Mmgh
!”

    “Hehe
”

    His sharp teeth ravaged Jaeha’s tongue, chewing it almost violently, then slurped and sucked in a wet mess. In that moment of mutual madness, Jaeha clasped his arms around Aiden’s neck, fingers interlaced. Ignoring the heart and brain screaming for oxygen, he opened his mouth wide to accept Aiden’s thick tongue. He wouldn’t have been surprised if Aiden had bitten it off—it hurt, but the pain felt strangely welcome.

    Drool poured freely. Even with their mouths fused together, Aiden continued thrusting like a beast. Jaeha, craving the taste of spit, his own semen he had earlier swallowed, and the metallic tang of blood, craned his neck in search of it.

    “Haa, haah
”

    Squelch! Aiden rammed into him again. The thick, fist-sized head of his cock ravaged Jaeha’s insides and finally drove itself into the entrance of his colon. Then, he spilled thick, sticky semen in torrents.

    Jaeha didn’t even try to hold onto his fading consciousness as he panted in delirium.

    His belly was full.

    Bloated, even.

    [Yes, this is it. The concentration of the EritokĂ© blood—]

    “H-here
 here, I, I think
 heard
”

    Jaeha’s mind finally latched onto a thought just around the time they had finished their third round of sex, having relocated to a small bar. The expensive alcohol scattered across the bar had either been half-emptied or broken, and the bar top was soaked from the ice Aiden had used to torment his chest. Jaeha’s entire body was swollen.

    “Underneath, there, down there
 basement
 basement
”

    With the sky beginning to lighten, Jaeha managed to report with difficulty. His voice trembled and was so faint it sounded like it was dying, hoarse to the point of unintelligibility.

    Around then, Jaeha desperately hoped they would stop. Why had he begged for more during their second round? He must’ve been insane
 Still, now that they had found the passage leading to the basement, it was over.

    “Okay, sleep tight.”

    “S-stop
”

    “Ha ha.”

    Of course, that was only true for Jaeha. The scenery shook so violently it made him dizzy. Aiden was insane. No, Aiden was clearly an esper with guiding abilities. What kind of guide could possibly overpower and knock out an esper with just sex and stamina? Even after Jaeha had blacked out, he was sure Aiden had kept going


    “Ugh
”

    In the end, Jaeha could only make a feeble attempt to push the ever-glowing, radiant Aiden away before succumbing and closing his eyes. Even with dulled hearing, the sound of flesh slapping against flesh still seemed to echo in his ears. Every time Aiden pounded into him like he was trying to drill through his organs, the world blurred. It felt like he was falling endlessly.

    How much time had passed?

    “Awake now?”

    “
Yes
”

    Recovery came after what felt like a long, yet somehow brief five-hour sleep, like a blackout.

    If Aiden hadn’t spoken, Jaeha might have made some strange noise thinking he was gone. His vision was still blurry, but he forced his eyes open. From beside him, the sound of a faint chuckle hinted that Aiden had been watching the whole time. It was somehow annoying.

    “Ugh
”

    Rising from the bed with a fluffy body, Jaeha tried to ignore the soreness in every joint. No matter how mentally gifted he was, Aiden was still an esper and thus should’ve had better physical endurance than a normal person—yet here he was, aching in every bone after just a few rounds of sex.

    “
”

    He glanced sideways, trying to tame his messy hair, and looked at Aiden. To think he’d slept so deeply in front of someone he liked, looking like this
 Even though Aiden was supposed to be a guide with a body similar to a regular person, he looked perfectly fine. No—he looked immaculate, polished to perfection.

    In spite of himself, Jaeha averted his gaze slightly, only to glance back hesitantly. Even when their eyes met, he couldn’t read Aiden’s thoughts. Aiden smiled as kindly as ever but made no move to speak first. He didn’t seem to want to dispel the awkwardness. Instead, his slightly narrowed eyes scrutinized Jaeha as if inspecting every inch of him.

    Those narrowed eyes were so dark it was hard to tell pupil from iris, and without any light reflecting in them, they resembled the eyes of a cunning snake.

    It felt like he was facing a snake that had been watching him all along.

    Jaeha couldn’t read Aiden’s mind, but for some reason, he thought he understood what Aiden was thinking.

    Something was bothering him.

    Whether it was Jaeha himself or this uncontrollable situation.

    “
”

    “
”

    Despite having engaged in sex—the most intimate form of physical contact—Aiden’s gaze still made Jaeha uneasy, and the silence between them was unbearably awkward. To break it, he forced himself to speak.

    “This place is
”

    “I thought you still needed more sleep, Jaeha.”

    “
”

    Just as he tried to open up, Aiden’s curt reply left him with nothing more to say. After some hemming and hawing, he finally broached the topic he had been avoiding—Aiden’s confession.

    “Aiden, I
”

    “Now that you’re up, shall we get ready and head down?”

    “
”

    The moment Jaeha tried to bring up something sensitive, Aiden cut him off without hesitation. For a second, he was at a loss.

    “
”

    Aiden stood up from his seat next to the bed and extended a hand, wordlessly inviting Jaeha to rise. For once, Jaeha wasn’t intimidated by Aiden or afraid of the situation. In fact, everything suddenly seemed calm, almost clinical.

    It dawned on him that Aiden might not be the purely kind and gentle person Jaeha had once seen him as through rose-colored lenses. While Jaeha had subconsciously sensed it before, this was the first time he was truly seeing it with objective clarity. At first, he might’ve fallen for Aiden’s gentle nature, but that wasn’t the only reason he loved him anymore—so nothing had really changed


    “
Did you find the passage?”

    “I found it while you were sleeping.”

    Aiden was certainly interested enough to suggest dating—but love? That was uncertain. Honestly, Jaeha wasn’t sure. And it didn’t seem like Aiden fully understood his own emotions either. In this relationship, Jaeha was clearly the weaker one, and yet


    “Aiden
”

    “Yes?”

    Why did it feel like he was the one holding the power in this relationship?

    “Can I
 ask you something?”

    “Of course.”

    Why
 did he feel the urge to ruin that smiling face? Was it because he was a bad person? Because he was the villain all along? Was he inherently cruel? Or was there something wrong with his petty nature, unable to accept such undeserved kindness?

    At first, he had been grateful for Aiden’s guiding, never expecting more from their relationship. But over time, he had grown greedier. And eventually


    “I want you to
”

    
feel the same way about him. So brazenly.

    “
”

    But the moment he confronted that selfish desire, he felt unbearably ugly. What had he been thinking
?

    “It’s nothing.”

    What had he been hoping for? How could he dare to expect anything?

    Jaeha snapped out of it and shook his head. Then, belatedly taking Aiden’s hand, he rose to his feet.

    “Let’s go. We have to check things before your brother arrives.”

    “
”

    Aiden, his eyes half-lidded, smiled kindly.

    “Whatever it is you’re thinking
”

    “
”

    “It won’t go the way you think.”

    For that brief wicked thought, Jaeha was met with a heavy, sharp warning.

    “Because, Jaeha
”

    “Yes
”

    “I’ve never failed to get the result I want.”

    Jaeha clamped his mouth shut and, as always, regretted everything.
