Chapter 68 – Parallel Extra 07: You Were a Bit Rough Last Night

As the night passed, morning sunlight illuminated the main bedroom of the presidential suite.

An unfamiliar phone ringtone sounded, causing Ye Zhou to frown. He sensed the warmth beside him shift, as if about to leave in the next moment. Instinctively, he held tighter, savoring the scent of the person beside him…

The person beside him swiftly turned off the alarm clock and remained still. Then a hand landed on the back of Ye Zhou’s neck, with a comforting intent.

Ye Zhou was initially relaxed, but as his consciousness slowly returned, his body instantly stiffened. He abruptly opened his eyes, immediately meeting Guan Heng’s gentle gaze.

“Woke you up?” Guan Heng’s deep voice carried the laziness of just waking up, sounding incredibly sexy.

But when Ye Zhou saw Guan Heng, he was stunned. Because he realized he was lying naked under the covers, and so was Guan Heng. After turning off the alarm clock, Guan Heng maintained his position leaning against the headboard, the blanket sliding down to his eight-pack abs, revealing his handsome and solid pectoral muscles marred with bite marks.

Ye Zhou’s first reaction was, this can’t be what I did, right? Did I really act so beastly?

But besides him, there seemed to be no one else. And his body felt refreshed, the agitation of his heat phase seemed to have completely subsided. Most importantly, his buttocks didn’t hurt!

No matter how quick-witted Ye Zhou usually was, he was dumbfounded at this moment. “I… Did I do something…”

He couldn’t bring himself to say the four words ‘sexually reckless after drinking’; he just wanted to know if he had slept with Guan Heng.

“Do you not remember?” Guan Heng appeared unconcerned, but his tone sounded somewhat helpless, as if indulging him. “You were a bit rough last night.”

“I…” Ye Zhou couldn’t refute it. He hadn’t completely blacked out, only vaguely remembering some scenes of him straddling Guan Heng, biting him aggressively. How dare he! Ye Zhou wiped his face; even if Guan Heng might not require it, he wasn’t the type to sleep with someone and then act as if nothing happened: “I… I’ll take responsibility.”

Guan Heng chuckled inwardly, remaining outwardly calm.

Ye Zhou imitated Guan Heng, sitting up against the headboard. After taking a couple of deep breaths, he slowly calmed down. Two Alphas together defied common sense, but it wasn’t uncommon, after all, Alphas paired with Alphas had more restrictions. Regardless of how others viewed it, merely avoiding the rejection of each other’s pheromones was already quite challenging. So even if last night was a momentary impulse, if Ye Zhou had rejected Guan Heng’s pheromones, he would have fought him rather than slept with him. After careful thought, he came to a conclusion, smiling wryly: “I must really like you.”

Guan Heng was slightly taken aback, nearly tearing off his mask to reveal his true self.

But Ye Zhou clearly had more to say: “Saying this now seems too late, and I may not have the qualifications to say it. I’m not usually the type to mess around; these words may not be convincing. But this is truly my first time, being so captivated by someone else’s scent.”

Generally, reason and desire were like intersecting parallel lines, coexisting peacefully most of the time but always competing for dominance at crucial moments. Most people were unwilling to let desire override reason, desperately fighting against their instincts. But Ye Zhou didn’t view it that way. Instinct was an inherent part of oneself, belonging to one’s own nature. Just like how a good first impression of someone easily generates affection, pheromones were similarly intuitive. Therefore, finding Guan Heng’s scent appealing indicated that he had developed a certain level of liking for this person, which is why he wanted to have further intimate contact with him.

Ye Zhou felt guilty: “But I still did wrong. I shouldn’t have…”

Guan Heng stopped Ye Zhou from continuing. If he kept going, he couldn’t guarantee Ye Zhou would leave the room: “So when you say you’ll take responsibility, does that mean you want to be in a relationship with me?”

Ye Zhou was taken aback when he heard these words. He had never thought of reaching for the stars, saying yes seemed inappropriate, but saying no seemed equally so.

Guan Heng moved closer; post-coital pheromones had slowly dissipated. But there was still a faint lingering aroma on him, a result of marking Ye Zhou, their pheromones blending: “Ye Zhou, I’m also a man. If I didn’t want it, nothing would have happened last night. Besides, I also bit you; that makes us even, doesn’t it?”

Ye Zhou was startled again. He hadn’t seen any obvious marks on himself, touching his neck, only to find a deep bite mark on the back of his neck, right on the gland. But compared to the mottled marks he left on Guan Heng’s pectorals, this bite mark was remarkably restrained. Even with only vague memories, he was embarrassed by his beastly behavior last night: “No problem.”

Guan Heng smiled, leaning down to gently touch his lips: “So you don’t need to apologize. I really like you.”

For a long time.

Ye Zhou still felt a bit unreal, as no one would have imagined that he and Guan Heng would start dating after knowing each other for three days, especially after sleeping together. He didn’t even know how to explain it to Fang Ji. He was, unexpectedly, the dominant one.

Guan Heng usually woke up early; it was only eight in the morning, and his phone was vibrating nonstop. His Alpha secretary had sent numerous work messages, showing how busy he truly was.

When Guan Heng was about to get up, he noticed Ye Zhou’s gaze lingering on his lower body, as if he wanted to say something: “What’s wrong?”

Ye Zhou didn’t know how to ask if Guan Heng’s buttocks hurt, considering Guan Heng’s high social status; he had to maintain his dignity, and this matter absolutely couldn’t leak out: “…Are you comfortable? Do you need help?”

Guan Heng thought for a moment, suddenly understanding, laughing: “Sure.”

Guan Heng didn’t mind Ye Zhou seeing his naked body. He stood up confidently; underneath the usual suit was a fit and well-built body, with perfect proportions. He was the epitome of looking thin in clothes but muscular without them. Although the object between his legs was in a dormant state, the size was already quite impressive.

Ye Zhou accidentally caught a glimpse and was a bit shocked. He thought his was already big enough, but he hadn’t expected…

At this moment, Guan Heng suddenly said: “My waist feels a bit uncomfortable…”

Ye Zhou snapped back to reality, immediately putting on a robe and fetching a new pair of underwear from Guan Heng’s luggage. He squatted down to help Guan Heng put it on. But after squatting, he realized the pose was awkward. Guan Heng’s certain part was facing his face, seemingly having an upward trend.

This position was too suggestive, Guan Heng lowered his eyes, his gaze toward Ye Zhou suddenly deepening: “Sorry, I’ll do it myself.”

Before Ye Zhou could react, Guan Heng quickly slipped on his underwear, covering the crucial parts. The rest went smoothly. Guan Heng put on an expensive shirt, buttoned the top button, and the stand-up collar completely concealed the ambiguous love bites left by Ye Zhou, restoring his dignified and chaste appearance. It was just that Ye Zhou, thinking of what Guan Heng looked like under his clothes, felt inexplicably thirsty.

Ye Zhou also wore suits for work, but he dressed casually, only paying attention when meeting clients formally. Recalling Guan Heng’s adept handkerchief folding technique last time, he admitted honestly: “I can’t tie my ties as nicely as you…”

“That’s fine.” Guan Heng slightly tilted his neck, indicating for Ye Zhou to proceed.

Ye Zhou looped the tie around Guan Heng’s neck. His fingers unintentionally brushed against his Adam’s apple, noticing a faint kiss mark near the edge of the collar, close to the back of the neck. It was half-covered and half-exposed, quite flirtatious, as if Guan Heng had also been marked by him. Ye Zhou had an inexplicable urge to kiss the same spot again, but he restrained himself. Unexpectedly, after he finished tying the tie, Guan Heng suddenly grabbed the back of his neck and kissed him deeply.

This kiss occurred while both were fully awake. Ye Zhou smelled Guan Heng’s scent up close, immediately wrapping his arms around his neck and responding passionately.

This kiss came unexpectedly but was extraordinarily intense. Both couldn’t seem to stop, until the Alpha secretary called to hurry them along. They reluctantly separated. Guan Heng’s daily routine was robotic, meticulous, and he never overslept, much less being late. This morning’s situation of staying in the room for a long time was unprecedented, nearly driving the secretary mad.

After Guan Heng answered the call and hung up, he touched Ye Zhou’s lips, which he had kissed red: “Wait for me tonight.”

Ye Zhou was a bit dazed from the kiss, his heart pounding violently. The previous Guan Heng was too forceful, as if ready to devour him whole. But his reaction after sobering up was still sluggish. Without thinking, he subconsciously agreed: “Okay.”
