Jaehee’s rut came earlier than expected. It hit out of nowhere—and it hit hard.
Yushi noticed the change almost immediately. The normally composed, attentive Jaehee grew restless, his eyes lingering a little too long whenever Yushi was near, his usual subtle alpha scent now thick and intoxicating, filling every corner of their shared space.
“Jaehee,” Yushi called softly, standing in the doorway to the younger alpha’s room. “How are you feeling?”
Jaehee was curled up on his bed, his face flushed and his breathing uneven. He looked up at Yushi with a vulnerable intensity that sent a shiver through the omega. “I—I’m fine,” Jaehee managed, though his trembling hands and the sheen of sweat on his brow said otherwise.
Yushi sighed, stepping into the room. “You’re terrible at lying, you know that?” He closed the door behind him and sat on the edge of the bed, his hand moving to brush back Jaehee’s damp hair. The alpha leaned into the touch instinctively, his eyes fluttering shut.
“I don’t want to bother you,” Jaehee murmured, his voice hoarse.
Yushi rolled his eyes. “You literally hovered around me for three days straight during my heat. Consider this payback.”
A weak chuckle escaped Jaehee, but it quickly turned into a low growl as another wave of his rut hit. His body tensed, his hands fisting the sheets. “Yushi... I don’t think I can hold back much longer.”
The words sent a jolt of heat through Yushi, but he pushed it aside, focusing instead on the alpha’s distress. “You don’t have to hold back,” he said softly, leaning closer. “Let me help you.”
Jaehee’s eyes snapped open, dark with need. “You... you don’t have to do this.”
“I want to,” Yushi replied, his voice steady. “You’ve taken care of me so many times. Let me take care of you now.”
The room filled with the mingling scents of alpha and omega, the air thick with tension as Yushi climbed onto the bed, straddling Jaehee’s lap. He cupped the younger alpha’s face in his hands, his thumbs brushing over Jaehee’s flushed cheeks.
“You’re burning up,” Yushi murmured, leaning in until their foreheads touched.
Jaehee’s hands hovered at Yushi’s hips, trembling with restraint. “I don’t want to hurt you,” he whispered, his voice cracking.
Yushi’s lips quirked into a small smile. “You won’t.” He pressed a gentle kiss to Jaehee’s forehead, then his temple, then the corner of his mouth. The alpha’s breath hitched, his self-control fraying with every soft touch.
When Yushi finally kissed him fully, Jaehee’s restraint snapped. His hands gripped Yushi’s waist, pulling the omega flush against him as he deepened the kiss, his movements desperate and needy.
“Yushi,” Jaehee groaned, his voice a low rumble that sent shivers down the omega’s spine.
Yushi’s fingers tangled in Jaehee’s hair, tugging lightly as he rocked his hips against the alpha’s. The friction sent sparks of pleasure coursing through them both, and Jaehee’s growls grew louder, more guttural.
“Easy,” Yushi teased, though his own breath was coming in short gasps. “We’ve got all night.”
Jaehee let out a soft laugh, his grip tightening as he buried his face in the crook of Yushi’s neck, inhaling deeply. “You smell so good,” he muttered, his voice thick with need.
“Yeah, well, you’re the one making the room smell like a forest fire,” Yushi shot back, though his tone was more affectionate than annoyed.
They moved together slowly at first, testing the limits of Jaehee’s control and Yushi’s patience. But as the night wore on, their touches grew more urgent, their movements more frenzied.
Jaehee’s rut demanded everything, and Yushi gave it willingly, grounding the alpha with whispered reassurances and steady touches. And when the intensity finally ebbed, leaving them both breathless and tangled in each other’s arms, Yushi smiled softly, pressing a kiss to Jaehee’s damp hair.
“See? That wasn’t so bad,” he teased, his voice warm.
Jaehee let out a contented hum, his arms tightening around Yushi. “Thank you,” he murmured, his voice barely audible.
Yushi brushed a hand through Jaehee’s hair, his smile widening. “Anytime, Jaehee. Anytime.”
