Pheromone Deficiency Syndrome chapter 19
Captured
At first, Gu Jinyi didn’t know what was happening.
He was video chatting downstairs with Chu Xiaonian, who was showing him his kindergarten handicrafts. He praised his darling for being so talented with a smile.
But soon, he smelled pheromones that were several times stronger than usual, rapidly filling the villa.
Most of the servants in the villa were alphas and betas, oppressed by the prominent and high-level pheromones, their faces looking unpleasant and a bit restless.
Gu Jinyi didn’t feel uncomfortable. He had been sharing a bed with Xie Huaizhou for many days and had become familiar with this scent.
He quickly realized that Xie Huaizhou had indeed entered his heat period.
Last night wasn’t his illusion.
He immediately turned off the video with Chu Xiaonian, got up and ran to the staircase, wanting to check on Xie Huaizhou’s condition. But as soon as he reached the stairs, he was stopped by the butler.
“Sorry, Mr. Gu, you can’t go up,” the butler bowed to him, “Mr. Xie just notified me not to let anyone near. If you go in, you might get hurt. Please wait here. We’ve already informed the hospital, and someone will come to take Mr. Xie to isolation soon.”
Gu Jinyi frowned.
He certainly knew that alphas in their sensitive period were different from usual, but Xie Huaizhou wasn’t like ordinary alphas who could just endure it.
Because of pheromone deficiency syndrome, Xie Huaizhou’s pain during his sensitive period would be several times worse than others’, and the effects of suppressants and drugs would be minimal.
Apart from his pheromones, there was almost no cure for Xie Huaizhou.
This was what the doctors of the Xie family told him at the beginning.
So he hesitated for only a few seconds before heading upstairs again.
The butler was shocked, but didn’t dare to stop him, only followed him all the way.
Soon, Gu Jinyi stood at the door of the study.
“Mr. Gu, please don’t be impulsive,” the butler whispered, “I understand your concern for Mr. Xie, but Mr. Xie ordered not to let you in.”
Actually, he didn’t understand Xie Huaizhou’s order.
Because for alphas with partners, spending the sensitive period with their partners was the best choice. The partner’s pheromones could make the alpha feel safe, even making them docile.
But since Xie Huaizhou issued this order, as the butler, he could only obey.
He nervously watched Gu Jinyi, noticing that his hand was on the door, as if he was considering whether to open it.
Gu Jinyi stood at the door for a while, feeling a bit hesitant.
This wasn’t the first time he had encountered an alpha’s sensitive period.
In that remote sanatorium, he had once comforted Fu Chen, who had fallen into his sensitive period, making the almost manic Fu Chen quickly calm down and rely on him like a tamed beast.
But at that time, they were lovers.
So he indulged Fu Chen in everything he did to him.
He cried, begged for mercy, yet never once refused Fu Chen.
But now, behind this door was Xie Huaizhou.
They didn’t have such an intimate relationship.
If he walked through this door, he didn’t know how much sanity Xie Huaizhou still had, or if he would attack him.
From the bottom of his heart, he was afraid.
He didn’t want to be marked, nor did he want to be possessed by an alpha; he just wanted to belong to himself.
But with his hand on the door, after a brief moment of thought, he still asked the butler, “How long until the doctor arrives?”
The butler hurriedly replied, “Fifteen to twenty minutes.”
Gu Jinyi nodded, then, in front of the butler, opened the door to the study.
Since his first day in this villa, Xie Huaizhou has given him the highest authority, equal to his.
So Xie Huaizhou’s instruction to lock the door was ineffective against him.
“You go downstairs and keep people away from the second floor.”
After saying this, Gu Jinyi opened the door with the fastest speed, walked in, and then locked the door again.
The smell of pheromones in the room was so strong that it was almost suffocating.
From the moment he stepped in, Gu Jinyi felt like he had entered the lair of a wild beast.
Dim, stuffy, dangerous.
He saw Xie Huaizhou in the room.
Xie Huaizhou was sitting alone by the window, the study was not lit, only the ambiguous sunset was shining through the window, outlining his sharp and thin silhouette.
Hearing the sound from the door, he glanced towards the door and saw Gu Jinyi instead of the doctor. He raised an eyebrow lightly and asked in a low voice, “Why are you here?”
His voice was calm, showing no sign of anger.
But upon closer inspection, one would notice that every line on his body was tense, his eyes deep as ink, like a beast ready to attack, waiting for an opportunity to snap at the enemy’s throat.
He looked at Gu Jinyi with interest, as if looking at a rabbit caught in his trap.
Gu Jinyi leaned silently against the door, not daring to move.
He didn’t know what to say.
For his own safety, he should stay as far away from Xie Huaizhou as possible.
But he couldn’t.
Because Xie Huaizhou had helped him a lot, both with Chu Miyaun’s matters and his own.
When he arrived at Baidi Star, he didn’t have much hope in his heart, even feeling powerless to control his own future.
But what Xie Huaizhou had given him far exceeded his best expectations.
So he couldn’t turn a blind eye to Xie Huaizhou’s pain.
He was Xie Huaizhou’s “antidote” after all.
Xie Huaizhou paid a price for him, so he should also abide by the treaty.
Seeing him silent, Xie Huaizhou’s patience gradually ran out.
The soft scent of red tea pheromones in the room, like the most delightful poison in the world, corroded his nerves.
His gaze fell on Gu Jinyi.
Gu Jinyi was still wearing a soft home robe, off-white, very thin, vaguely revealing the clear and slender contours underneath.
Xie Huaizhou knew very well how slender that waist was, how fair and smooth his skin was, and how red marks would be left with just a little force.
He slowly stood up, completely enveloping Gu Jinyi in the shadow of his tall figure, and his pheromones also enveloped Gu Jinyi like an airtight cocoon.
He leaned down to Gu Jinyi’s forehead and asked softly, “Why did you come in?”
Clearly I was prepared to let you go.
Why did you still come?
“Let me guess, you pity me, you’re acting out of pity, right?”
He looked at Gu Jinyi, with a slight smile, his eyes resembling a cold and cruel snake.
He gently pecked at Gu Jinyi’s Adam’s apple, dangerous yet gentle.
Gu Jinyi’s throat rolled.
Xie Huaizhou was no longer the person he used to know.
Now, Xie Huaizhou was gloomy and dangerous, and even his gaze no longer had any warmth.
He explained to Xie Huaizhou in a low voice, “I just wanted to make you feel better. My pheromones are effective for you…”
But Xie Huaizhou sneered.
He pinched Gu Jinyi’s chin, his leg squeezing between Gu Jinyi’s legs, rubbing ambiguously.
“Do you know what’s most effective for an alpha in heat?” he whispered, “It’s sex.”
His hand rested on Gu Jinyi’s waist, through a thin layer of silk, Gu Jinyi could feel the warmth of his palm clearly, scalding hot.
Xie Huaizhou nibbled on his earlobe, his ambiguous breath blowing on his ear, “If you really want to make me feel better, take off your clothes and spread your legs, I’ll fuck you so hard you won’t be able to get off the bed.”
This statement already carried a sense of violation.
Gu Jinyi trembled a bit, his hand instinctively groping for the door, trying to find the latch.
But before his hand could reach it, Xie Huaizhou noticed his movement and picked him up, pressing him onto the nearby sofa.
The sofa was very soft, and Gu Jinyi sank into it completely.
“Now you want to escape, it’s too late.”
He heard Xie Huaizhou mock him like this, then lowered his head and brutally kissed him. It wasn’t like a kiss, more like tearing him apart. Xie Huaizhou’s weight pressed heavily on him, using high-level alpha pheromones to control him, preventing him from escaping.
He could feel Xie Huaizhou’s hand pressing on his glands.
This was the most sensitive area for an omega, fragile and vulnerable. With just a light squeeze from the alpha’s fingers, he whimpered in pain.
“It hurts…” he choked out.
This sentence made Xie Huaizhou’s body stiffen imperceptibly. After a while, he slowly let go of the person in his arms, propping himself up on both sides, looking down at him from a high vantage point.
Gu Jinyi also looked at Xie Huaizhou through tearful eyes.
In fact, when he just came in, there was an element of gambling.
The higher the level of the alpha in heat, the less likely they were to lose control, so he thought, maybe Xie Huaizhou would show him some mercy.
But now, looking at Xie Huaizhou’s eyes, he dared not be sure anymore.
He grabbed Xie Huaizhou’s sleeve.
This action couldn’t even be called resistance, more like pleading.
He didn’t know why, even at this point, he instinctively wanted to seek comfort from Xie Huaizhou.
“Xie Huaizhou…” he called softly, “please, don’t do this.”
This voice was very soft, weaker and more powerless than a feather.
Begging was the most ineffective thing in front of an out of control alpha.
But Xie Huaizhou’s gaze slowly fell on his own sleeve.
Gu Jinyi’s hand was very beautiful, fair and moist, like a work of art.
But after looking at it for a long time, he slowly grasped one of Gu Jinyi’s hands and pressed it against his own face.
It was too dark in the room, Gu Jinyi couldn’t see Xie Huaizhou’s face clearly, he could only feel that Xie Huaizhou’s face was very hot.
But he felt like Xie Huaizhou seemed a bit sad.
The scent of sea breeze and red tea in the room still entangled each other, moist and lingering, telling of absurd and ambiguous feelings.
After a long time, Xie Huaizhou’s arm relaxed and slowly fell onto Gu Jinyi’s body.
“I’ll let it go this time,” he restrained the ferocity in him and regained some sanity and calmness, “if you don’t listen next time, I won’t be merciful to you.”
He buried his head in the crook of Gu Jinyi’s neck, enveloped by the long-awaited scent of red tea, he was both pleased and pained, like being in an endless execution.
But even until the doctor arrived in a hurry and injected him with a special suppressant, he didn’t make another move.
He simply nuzzled Gu Jinyi’s neck affectionately, like a wild beast resting beside its beloved, willingly surrendering himself.
