Prologue
“Ah… hahh… ah… nnh…”
Short, shallow moans repeatedly leaked out of Josh’s mouth. His brain shook and vibrated along with his mercilessly convulsing body, not allowing any thoughts at all. Weakly sprawled across the bed, Josh instinctively lifted his legs and wrapped them around the man’s waist. He pulled him tightly toward himself with all that remained of his strength. The member that his bottom was chewing became sucked more deeply inside him with a tingling sensation.
Towering over Josh, the man spat out a deep moan between rough breaths. Supporting his own body with his arms, the man was pounding his lower body into Josh. Right away, the man shoved his arms under Josh’s knees and pushed them up. Having folded Josh in half, the man violently thrust his rod into the lifted behind.
“Ahaack…” A lengthy yelp crawled its way out from the depths of Josh’s throat. The man had no sympathy at all. He stacked his thick body on top of Josh, pressing him down and shoving himself in. The swollen, feverishly smelted member brutally slammed into Josh, who was crammed between the mattress and the man’s body.
He felt no such thing as pain. This was copulation. Since neither the man nor Josh had any sense in their heads, this couldn’t be called intercourse. All that could be known was the weight of the man’s member as it vigorously entered and exited Josh and the sweetness of the hole that frantically sucked it in.
Josh let out moan after moan as he embraced the man’s head. He vaguely realized that his body was ready. Perhaps the man had noticed too; his movements became even more robust as he dug in. Every time he stabbed and left, he penetrated Josh deeper. More, stick it in deeper. Slam in me harder. In me, inside me—
“Come in me, please—” Josh was begging out loud before he had even realized.
Finally, he rammed his entire rod into Josh and made it expand inside. A spot deep within Josh throbbed, and his scorching wet flesh bit tightly into the man’s member.
The man finally shuddered on top of him and came. His hot semen glubbed into Josh’s tract and filled his abdomen. An unholy amount of liquid heavily filled his guts, but the man’s member was plugged tightly and completely into the hole and blocked most of the liquid from seeping out. What the man had spilled wholly filled and pooled inside Josh. He took in every last bit of the other’s seed.
Along with the semen that spread throughout his whole body like a drug, the man’s sweet pheromones poured into Josh’s nose. Josh drooped his weak body, hammered on pheromones. As his consciousness began to drift away and his eyes started to blur, the man suddenly bit into Josh’s ear.
Josh screamed as a chilling crunch echoed inside his ears. His distant consciousness returned momentarily.
The man kept his member fixed inside Josh and violently sucked on his ear that he had just bitten. Josh trembled feebly in pain and shock.
The man’s voice trickled into his ears. “You’re all mine.”
His low whisper sent shivers up Josh’s spine. He instinctively clenched down there. With a deep moan, the man sank his teeth even harder into his flesh.
“Ngh… guhh…” Moans dribbled down Josh’s lips, but the man didn’t even flinch. He bit, sucked, and licked the bleeding ear for a long time before finally falling asleep, inhaling and exhaling with a regular rhythm. Josh only realized that the man had marked him many hours after his faded consciousness returned to him.
Chapter 1
“Wait! Everyone, calm down. No, you can’t come any closer! Hey, hey! Watch it!” The security staff had their hands full blocking the incoming crowd. They were much too used controlling the fans in an event like this, but today was different from usual. They knew the reason, and they had been prepared for it. It was because of the top celebrity who would be arriving soon.
He had received an incredible amount of attention upon his debut; it would not be over-exaggerating to say that he made the entirety of North America go wild. Since then, he had built a solid foundation of fans year after year. He was recently acknowledged for his superb acting, and he thrived at the pinnacle of his career.
It was not difficult to spot someone who would say that they would do anything to be able to meet him just once in their life. There was one social media post that read that the poster would rob a bank just to draw his attention, which resulted in a brief unlaughable incident.
The news of his attending an event was enough to put the nearby area in mayhem. However, nobody thought it would be this bad.
The security staff hired for the event all had hoarse, metallic voices from shouting—to the point where they were coughing. Despite their efforts, there was an influx of people all over the place who were trying to break through the barrier and shoot forward whenever there was an opening. They were out of their minds blocking the crowd that was pushing against them from the front, all the while watching out for the hyenas who were aiming for openings.
I wish time would go faster, all the security staff thought simultaneously. The invitees were turning up one by one, but the most important face had yet to be seen. They would much rather he come quickly, get some pictures snapped, and go in. Wouldn’t that make things easier?
Their desperate hope aside, more people began to join the crowd.
✦ ✦ ✦
“Two hours of stay should be enough,” said Laura, the secretary, in a calm voice beside him. “They wanted you to flash the wristwatch. I believe it would be enough for you to subtly sweep up your hair or something of the like. I heard that it’s been designed especially for you, Mr. Miller. Do you like it?”
Laura glanced toward him, trying to read the atmosphere. The man, who had been motionless until then, lowered his gaze for the first time and stared at the jewelry that wrapped around his wrist.
The wristwatch was themed after the desert night. On top of the delicate craftsmanship that was characteristic of the brand, its elegant design drew the attention of the beholder. The brilliance of the diamond that circled the dial once every hour on the dot was especially eye-catching.
He began slowly. “It’s not bad.”
And that was all. Laura smiled stiffly. The man shifted his gaze back outside the window. He could probably see his reflection better than the landscape outside through the dark-tinted windows, but he would always fix his gaze at the window regardless.
In all fairness, it must be a lot more entertaining to stare at his own face than the streets, thought Laura. She had no choice but to accept the fact that he was a narcissist, and with a good reason to be one. She had been working beside him as his secretary for years now, but she still sometimes froze on the spot as if she had been electrocuted whenever she saw his face. Unfortunately, this was only applicable until this man showed his true colors.
Laura was always grateful that he didn’t waste his words; he sometimes even went an entire day without saying a word. If that weren’t the case, she would have long since run away, unable to bear his temper.
Chase, who was supporting the side of his chin with his hand as he leaned his head against the door, slowly closed his eyes. Thanks to that, Laura could admire his side profile to her heart’s content. His pale face had a hint of exhaustion as a sharp shadow was cast along the elegant structure of his face.
Even before she was hired as his secretary, Laura had worked as a secretary of another actress. Due to this, she had seen countless celebrities, but she had never seen a man as beautiful as him. His shirt was buttoned up all the way to the top, embracing his long, delicate neck. Contrary to his neat ensemble, however, he seemed somewhat disorderly.
His fingernails that were planted atop his fingers, which were thrown carelessly across his thighs, were tidily trimmed. They suit ed his long fingers very well. When Laura had first met him, she had imagined his graceful fingers wrapped around her neck, suffocating her. Luckily for her, no such thing happened.
There was nothing about him that wasn’t pretty. Laura hesitated in using the word “pretty” to describe him, but it was difficult to find a more suitable word.
He let out a short sigh and opened his eyes. At the same time, Laura was pulled back to reality. The driver let them know that they were almost at their destination. Laura aside, even the bodyguard who was in the car with them grew tense. Now they had to protect this man from that pack of people. One wrong move and his life could be in danger. However, none of this could be helped.
The car slowly began to decelerate, and the man opened his mouth.
Laura couldn’t register his soft voice. Assuming that he was talking to himself, she pretended not to notice as per usual. Chase didn’t say anything else, either.
The car slowed to a halt. The way the crowd was cheering outside was alarming. Laura took a deep breath as she waited for the door of the car to open.
The bodyguard got out of the car first and quickly looked around before opening the door near where Laura was sitting. She exited as well and immediately stood to the side. People already knew who was about to follow suit.
An unbelievably sweet scent mixed into the crowd. Simultaneously, the cheering noise grew multiple times louder.
“Chase!” the crowd howled.
Just as Laura began to fear her eardrums would burst from the crowd’s scream—nay, screech—he finally showed himself.
The man’s blond hair fluttered splendidly under the showering rays of the Californian sun. He was six feet, five inches when standing tall, and the black tailcoat clung onto his slender body as if it were his own skin.
He stepped onto the red carpet and looked around once. A flash of exhaustion ran across his face, but the man silently lifted his hand. His soft, blond locks entwined his long fingers, and the watch on his wrist was revealed. The obnoxious roar of camera shutters poured out as dizzily as the cheers.
It only took Chase five steps along the red carpet until one of the security staff who was fending off the crowd gave in. The rows that were only just being held in place all collapsed at once.
Chapter 2
Huge Accident at V&A Jewelry Event.
The cashier groaned as he read the article heading off of the newspaper that he had taken from next to the checkout counter. He didn’t need to read the contents of the article underneath to know what it was about. The TV had already exhausted the details of this incident. Even the passersby in the streets, needless to mention the internet, were busy talking about what had happened. He didn’t like that at all.
Just then, a customer placed some items on the counter needing to be scanned. After glancing at the pack of gum, the bottle of water, and the male-audience magazine, the cashier began casually, “Seems a mess. You know, what with Chase Miller.”
“Well, sounds like it,” the man replied curtly, looking fairly uninterested.
As the cashier scanned the items, he began to yak as if he were waiting for it. “So many people got injured. To be honest, I don’t think people like him should be invited to the event. Don’t you think? It couldn’t have been difficult to expect something like this to happen. What’s more, Chase Miller didn’t even address the issue at all. And whose fault was it to begin with? Don’t you think he almost enjoys watching people making a big deal about him?”
“Well, I don’t really know much about pop culture,” the man lied aptly. It wasn’t a complete lie, though; it was true that he wasn’t well-versed in pop culture. Above anything, he just wanted to finish paying quickly and go home. Just in time, another customer stood behind him, glaring at the cashier. The cashier hastily finished processing the payment and looked up.
The man was taller than he had expected. Moreover, the chest before the cashier’s eyes was clearly tight and muscular, despite being hidden under the shirt. When he glanced at the man’s face, which was positioned much higher than he had imagined, he jolted.
As he widened his eyes and blinked, the man put the items into the plastic bags himself, said a simple word of farewell, and left.
While the cashier blankly stared at his back, the customer who was standing behind the man began to complain, “Why in the world did that take so long?”
“Did you see his face? The man who just walked out?”
The customer stared at the cashier in awe. However, the cashier was still gazing in the direction where the man had disappeared toward.
He murmured, “He must be an alpha, right?”
The cashier marveled once again, so the customer scrunched up their face and stared in the same direction as him. “I didn’t smell his pheromones.”
“He’s so good-looking, though. He has to be an alpha. He’s pretty jacked, too.”
“Really? His back was definitely a sight to behold, though.” The customer belatedly took interest, but the man was already nowhere to be seen.
The cashier finally came to his senses and sighed as he scanned the items. I hope he comes again, he thought.
✦ ✦ ✦
I’m never going to that store again.
Josh gritted his teeth as he violently swerved in and out of the lane. Cars honked and curses exploded all around him, but he ignored them all and stepped harder on the accelerator.
He was already 30 minutes late. Why did the cashier have to dawdle like that? He had stretched out what could have been done in 10 minutes by making useless small talk. Moreover, the topic brought up by the cashier was something that Josh would much rather avoid. He had already been hearing various things about Chase Miller for days, to the point where he was developing a headache.
It was something that couldn’t be avoided even if he had tried to. Wherever people gathered, everyone talked about him. The soft drink that was dispensed at a push of the vending machine button had his face stamped on it. Whenever he turned the TV on, the news talked about him, and a giant billboard of his perfume advertisement stood its post by the road.
As long as he lived in this country, he could not turn away from Chase Miller.
Josh caught himself from swearing violently out of irritation and barely managed to swallow it. Josh had gotten quite a shock when Pitt had heard a bad word that Josh had said and innocently repeated it. Since then, Josh always took extra care not to even accidentally let any inappropriate words slip. However, days like this were certainly difficult to endure not swearing.
He had to picture Pitt’s face and hold it in with all his might. When he finally arrived home, he genuinely almost cheered out loud.
Josh skipped three stairs per stride and finally reached his home. As soon as he flung open the door, he called out for his child. “Pitt!”
Pitt, who was playing with the babysitter on the living room floor, turned his head and shouted back, “Daddy!”
“Pitt!”
Pitt reached his short arms out toward him. Josh promptly picked him up and showered his whole face with kisses. The satisfaction that welled up in his chest made it almost difficult to breathe. It felt as if the exhaustion that was piled up from the day’s work was evaporating in a matter of seconds.
Only after indulging in a touching reunion after five whole hours of separation did Josh acknowledge the babysitter with Pitt still propped up in his arms. “Thanks for your work, as usual.”
“No worries. Pitt is such a sweet boy, and it makes things very easy for me.”
He was a university student who was working part-time as a babysitter to look after the child in Josh’s stead. Josh gazed down at the ordinary university student who was at least a head shorter than him.
He smiled and said, “I’m really in your debt. It’s exams soon, isn’t it? Do let me know if there are days when you can’t work, yeah?”
