chapter 4

Yoon Tae-joon dragged his mouth up Ryu Ji-ahn’s neck and latched it back on his. He deepened the kiss, claiming the Omega’s mouth with intense hunger.

It sounded so vulgar when he thought of it like that, but there was no denying the act was extremely intimate.

Moving his hand lower, he gripped the Omega’s small yet firm ass. He squeezed the soft flesh, bringing him as close to his body as possible.

A low growl of approval left the Alpha when Ryu Ji-ahn took the initiative and rubbed his hard, small length against the Alpha’s throbbing erection.

“Aah…” A little cry left the Omega.

“That’s it, baby. Move against me. Make yourself feel good.”

Ryu Ji-ahn gasped against his mouth and Yoon Tae-joon knew his words had heightened the Omega’s arousal.

On his own accord, the Omega started moving faster against him, rocking his hips back and forth, desperately rubbing himself against the Alpha’s clothed length.

With his hands still on the Omega’s ass, he squeezed the soft mounds, relishing in the way the flesh molded perfectly to his palms.

He used his firm hold to guide the Omega’s movements, pushing him back and then pulling him forward. He could hear the rising pitch in Ryu Ji-ahn’s breathing and knew he was getting close.

The Omega’s mouth opened in a gasp. Yoon Tae-joon swallowed the sweet sound, wanting him to reach his peak with a fierce intensity that surprised even the Alpha himself.

When the Omega’s movements began to slow, Yoon Tae-joon felt a strong urge to growl in disapproval. He wanted to feel Ryu Ji-ahn come apart completely, wanted to experience every tremble and release.

Gripping the nape of Ji-ahn’s neck, he met his eyes, hoping the Omega could see the intense desire burning within him.

“Look at me.”

He eased his tone but kept a commanding note. Yoon Tae-joon wanted there to be no doubt about what he desired. Finally, the Omega lifted his eyes and held his gaze.

“I want you to come for me, Ji-ahn. I want to feel your body shake as you lose control.”

He leaned in and resumed kissing him deeply, using the gentle sweep of his tongue and the urging pressure of his mouth to show how desperately he wanted it.

With one hand, he reached between them and wrapped his fingers around the Omega’s small, hard length, stroking him while Ryu Ji-ahn continued grinding against his body.

The tight peaks of the Omega’s nipples pressed against him through the thin robe. The sensation spurred Ryu Ji-ahn on, and he started rocking faster once again.

The rhythm he found pushed him closer to the edge. And just like that, Ryu Ji-ahn came undone.

High-pitched sounds of pleasure spilled from the Omega as his body trembled and released. Warmth spread across the front of Yoon Tae-joon’s shirt while slick dampened the Omega’s robe.

Yoon Tae-joon wanted nothing more than to part the rest of the robe and explore his slick entrance, to keep touching and stroking him until the Omega was overwhelmed with pleasure.

Instead, he latched his mouth onto the Omega’s neck, sucking hard enough to leave a clear mark.

He wanted his mark on him. The fact that he felt so possessive of the Omega so quickly should have made him uneasy, but all he felt was a deep need to protect him and keep him close.

Ryu Ji-ahn moaned again and continued to grind weakly against him, his small length still twitching with aftershocks. Yoon Tae-joon held him tighter, savoring every moment of his release.

Ryu Ji-ahn eventually fell against the Alpha’s chest, breathing in hard, fast pants.

Yoon Tae-joon wrapped his arms around him and whispered how beautiful he was, how incredible he felt.

He kept Ryu Ji-ahn in his lap for the rest of the way home, running his hands up and down his back soothingly.

The car slowed as they approached their home. A moment later they stopped in front of the grand residence and the back door opened. Yoon Tae-joon helped Ryu Ji-ahn out of the car.

The way the Omega’s eyes widened when he took in the luxurious home filled the Alpha with pride.

Taking his hand, he led him up the wide stone steps and into his new home. His servants were already lined up in front of them. Yoon Tae-joon stepped forward and began the introductions.

“This is Min-seok, the cook of the manor.”

He moved down the line.

“Ji-eun and Soo-ah are here to help you personally. If you find you want for anything, you inform them and they will make sure you have it.”

He dismissed the three he had just introduced.

“Hyun-woo handles the grounds and Seung-ho handles maintenance. Our driver is Dong-hyun, and our butler is Ji-hwan. He tends to my personal affairs. Last but not least, this is Young-ja and Mi-kyung, the housekeepers.”

He pointed to the last two older women and then looked at Ryu Ji-ahn. The Omega seemed a bit overwhelmed, so he dismissed the rest of his staff and took his hand. He led him up the stairs and to their bedroom.

“We will take supper in here tonight, Ji-hwan.”

The butler followed them, bowed at the waist, and shut the door quietly on his way out. Yoon Tae-joon stood and watched Ryu Ji-ahn take in the master bedroom.

When the Omega’s gaze turned back to his, there was clear apprehension in his eyes.

“Are you cold? I can draw you a bath and you can soak until dinner arrives. It shouldn’t be too long.”

Ryu Ji-ahn took a deep breath and then said, “I’m not cold, and I bathed before the auction.”

He hated that Ji-ahn looked at him that way, like he expected him to throw him on the bed and have his way with him.

Exhaling deeply, Yoon Tae-joon undid the first three buttons of his shirt. Keeping his gaze locked on the Omega’s, he moved toward the bed and sat on the edge, patting the spot next to him.

“Sit next to me. I am sure you have questions. I can see the uncertainty in your eyes, and I hope to alleviate it.”

Several moments passed before Ryu Ji-ahn finally made his way forward and sat beside him.

“I don’t know what to ask you.”

Yoon Tae-joon smiled, hoping to ease him.

“How about the basics? I mean, you know nothing of me yet I know everything about you.”

“You are so very young, Ji-ahn.”

He ran his finger down the bared part of the Omega’s arm, and the way he shivered from his touch sent the Alpha’s heart racing.

“Do I frighten you?”

Leaning in closer, he let his lips barely skim the shell of the Omega’s ear.

“Yes…No.”

“How old are you?”

“Thirty-eight.” Cutting his eyes to the Omega, he smiled.
