Gao Tu breathed out shakily, bracing for the harsh words that Shen Wenlang was going to spit. Why had they agreed to talk about this? The guilt he felt for manipulating Shen Wenlang all these years outwayed Shen Wenlang’s issues with omegas.
“Mr. Shen?” Their therapist prompted and Gao Tu purposely didn’t look at his alpha. Yes, his alpha since he was supposed to be honest during these sessions. “Again, how does it make you feel to know this is how Gao Tu felt before and after he left?”
“Stupid.” Shen Wenlang came out first with that all too disappointed tone Gao Tu was familiar with. Gao Tu couldn’t help but pinch the bridge of his nose to control his scent. The desire to calm Shen Wenlang before he exploded was strong. However he found that the alpha wasn’t angry; no the smell coming off Shen Wenlang was desire? What the…
“Admiration. Desire.” Shen Wenlang’s tone became deeper in the way that GaoTu knew he was being sincere. Gao Tu swallowed hard as he couldn’t help but look up in surprise. He felt the heat on his face and knew his blotchy flush was on display. Shen Wenlang raised his hand to stop their therapist from asking him to elaborate.
“Stupid for hurting himself like that when I’m not worthy of such devotion. He should always think of himself first. And admiration because of the strength he possesses. I know I couldn’t endure it. He uses that strength to raise our pup and it makes the desire I have for him deepen.”
Gao Tu’s breath caught. His heart pounding in his chest. Like a moth drawn to a flame, he had to meet Shen Wenlang’s gaze. His hand dropped from his face and turned his head to find Shen Wenlang already staring at him. Those dark eyes fixated on his entire being. There was an all too family ache in his core for the alpha beside him.
Yes, beside him. If he was gut wrenching it honest with himself the fact was Shen Wenlang was here with him. He was putting in the work to be mentally healthy and show through actions that he wanted to be with Gao Tu and their pup. His alpha was in his own private therapy and going to couples therapy with Gao Tu. Heaven's communication was everything that he’d dreamed of before.
“Mr. Gao? Your thoughts?” Their therapist addressed him, pulling from his thoughts.
That I’ve never been happier than the fact that I asked for my sister to watch A-Le because I need my alpha to behave disrespectfully the moment we leave here. The downside is I need to tell him or he’s going to be respectful. Gao Tu thought before clearing his throat. The smirk on Shen Wenlang’s lips. “I’m sorry? What was the question?”
“How do you feel about Mr. Shen’s confession?”
“Stupid,” Gao Tu answered slowly, unable to look away from Shen Wenlang. He saw the shift in the alpha’s eyes from desire to worriedly curious, “yet wanted. We’ve not communicated well about this. I never would have thought this is what you were thinking,Wenlang.”
“First off you’re not stupid and you’re not a mind reader. All you had to go on is what I’d told you in the past. Secondly, that means this is working because I want you to understand me just as much as I want to understand you.” Shen Wenlang responded, reaching out to place his hand on Gao Tu’s exposed wrist.
The warmth of his touch sent a current of want through Gao Tu. He forced himself to hold his scent back.
“T-thank you.” Gao Tu couldn’t think of what else to say to that because all he could think of was everything that didn’t need to be spoken.
“This really is great progress.” Their therapist spoke up before starting the recap of their session and discussing the plans for the next visit along with their couple’s homework.
“Pull over.” Gao Tu instructed. He couldn’t stand it anymore. It didn’t matter that they were barely out of the parking lot of the therapist’s office. What did matter is that they were in Shen Wenlang’s R8 with the black out tint.
“Are you alright?” Shen Wenlang asked, then had the audacity to put his hand over his own. It was at that moment Gao Tu decided that he should let Shen Wenlang know exactly how he was feeling by releasing some of his scent. His sage scent filled the air and it was mixed with the sweetness of his desire.
“I’ll be better when you’re pulling over and kissing me stupid so that when we get home getting me into your room will be a cake walk.” Gao Tu answered him, trying to keep his tone smooth and not filled with needy whine he actually wanted to use.
“A-Tu.” Shen Wenlang breathed out, eyes dark and wanting. Just like Gao Tu wanted when the alpha pulled over. The moment that the car was parked he reached over grabbing the collar of the alpha’s ridiculously soft sweater, tugging him over the console.
“Can’t you just follow dirre- ah …” the rest of his demand was lost to Shen Wenlang’s lips crashing into his. The hungry fervor was clear as Shen Wenlang cupped his face. His strong hand slid down to his throat where he rubbed his thumb against the tender curve of his adam’s apple. Gao Tu let out a moan and lost sense of control as his scent filled the car thickly blending with Shen Wenlang’s decadent iris scent. Their tongues tangled as he gasped from the feel of Shen Wenlang’s grip tightening at his throat.
Gao Tu melted to his touch which only made Shen Wenlang want to devour him whole. It was a shame they were in his car, because it wasn't about having the first time they’re together to be where he couldn’t properly savor Gao Tu. He deserved to be worshiped. That thought had him finally parting their kiss.
It was an absolute travesty to finally part from Gao Tu’s lips but Shen Wenlang did it. His grip loosening as he leaned back. Gao Tu was stunning with his splotchy flush, kiss swollen lips, and dark eyes lost just the way Gao Tu wanted. They had fifteen minutes till they got to the house. He helped Gao Tu be more comfortable then forced himself to focus on driving so that he could get his reward for kissing his omega thoughtless.
