"What?" Xian didn't think he heard it right. "You want me to get on my knees and beg you?"
The alpha took a slow long drag from his cigar, his eyes on Xian. He exhaled, the smoke drifting to Xian in quiet seduction. He couldn't understand how he made something so mundane look exquisite.
"Do you need a hearing aid?" he asked, stalking towards Xian. "You have ten seconds to decide."
"But…"
"10…7…3…"
Xian's knees went down hard on the floor. He just needed to endure a little more for his sister. Her life was worth much more than this.
"I'm sorry," he muttered, closing his eyes like it'd get rid of the humiliation. "I'm sorry for coming late."
"Is that all you've got?"
Xian looked up. "What else do you want me to do?"
He bent down, his eyes sweeping over Xian's face. He put his thumb on his lower lip. "What else are you willing to do?"
He grabbed Xian's chin with force, turning his head to the side. "You're quite the pretty little thing. Especially from up here. This might not be an entirely bad idea."
The robotic voice came to Xian's mind. [Rewards: +5 charm points]. Because he'd gotten the alpha to forgive him.
He released Xian and straightened up. "I'll only let this slide because we'll never meet again. And I can't be bothered to find another omega in this forsaken city."
Xian gulped. Of course the handsome ones were the most brutal and rude.
"Strip."
Xian did a double take. He couldn't have heard right. "Huh?"
His eyes narrowed down at him. "Make me repeat myself again and you'll regret it. Strip and climb the bed."
Cold ran down Xian's spine. He hadn't known what to expect, but it certainly wasn't this. Slowly, he unbuttoned his shirt and let it fall to the floor.
The man kept his gaze trained on Xian as he worked his pants. Of course he was a creep, any sane man wouldn't be paying to spend time with someone else.
Xian stood up, letting his pants fall to the floor. He was left in only his underwear, his gaze trained to the floor because he couldn't dare to look up.
"Bed," the alpha barked, working on his shirt. He removed his clothes and placed them carefully on the couch in the corner. His shoes followed and he climbed the bed after Xian.
"What do you want me to do?" Xian asked, he was nervous and unsure.
"Lie down on me," the alpha answered, making himself comfortable. "Come on, we don't have all day," he yelled when Xian remained frozen.
Xian's body was very lean compared to his companion's muscular ones. He was all bones and limbs as he laid down on muscle, hating the way his body melted completely on his.
"What do I do next?"
The alpha smiled. "You sure like being told what to do. Don't you?"
Xian turned his face away. He was always scared of disappointing people so he liked it when people stated their expectations from the start. It made it easier for him to try and measure up for it.
Even now, he felt like he was disappointing the alpha, someone he's never met his entire life.
"You don't have to do anything." He pulled out his phone. "I only need to take a couple pictures."
Xian shot up. "P…Pppictures?" he stuttered, immediately trying to cover his bare chest.
"Relax, you're not here to shoot porn. Your face won't even show in the pictures." He dragged Xian back down like he weighed nothing.
He checked the angles with his phone before taking a few clicks. "This is not convincing enough."
Xian looked at him with his big shining eyes. "You're trying to convince someone that you're…"
"Fucking my supposed boyfriend. Yes." He tilted his head. "Do you have a problem with that?"
Xian immediately shook his head. "No." In fact he was very relieved that he wouldn't have to lose his virginity to a complete stranger. "I think I can actually help you with that."
"What?"
Xian sat up, straddling his waist. "Bite the corner of my neck and my chest. Just enough to leave a hickey."
His smile was surprisingly wide. "Why didn't I think of that?"
His hands were around Xian's neck in a heartbeat which made a moan slip out of Xian. He immediately slammed his palm over his mouth, an embarrassed red creeping into his cheeks.
"Ssss…sorry, I didn't mean for that to happen."
"Looks like our little omega likes being rough handled." He applied more pressure on Xian's neck which made him throw his head back. "It's a shame I'm not into pretty omega boys."
He pulled Xian closer and without warning he bit down on his neck, his teeth sharp against delicate skin. His tongue darted out to soothe the pain.
"That was one hell of a bite," Xian hissed, rubbing the skin. "Are you trying to draw my blood?"
The alpha's eyes wrinkled with amusement. "I mean…that won't be a bad idea." Xian put a palm on his chest as he leaned in to give him another hickey. "Take it easy this time, that really hurts."
"But you seemed to enjoy it," he mumbled in response. He hesitated when he leaned in and a sweet fruit scent hit his nose. He'd never smelt anything like it. Usually he found the scent of omegas disturbing.
He bit gently this time but even that sent a surge of heat down Xian's legs. He started to feel hot, unable to stop the whimper that escaped when the alpha bit down on his chest.
[Heat detection… 20%]
Xian froze, then immediately got away from the alpha. It would be bad if he suddenly got his heat while he was in a room with an alpha he'd never met, and in a club filled with shady people. He had to get this over with and leave.
[Cool down: -2 charm points]
Xian immediately chose that, it was the safest option. He'd find other ways to earn the charm points back.
[Heat detection…2%]
Xian sighed in relief.
The alpha studied him, watching his bite marks turning a deep red. For some reason he felt a certain satisfaction at having done that. This was the prettiest Omega he'd ever met, he looked fragile and damn near ready to break. He wanted to be the one to break him.
What surprised the alpha the most was that no alpha had claimed the omega yet. He took another whiff at the scent that was starting to fade away.
"I think the hickeys look good enough now. Come let's get this over with." He adjusted his underwear, ignoring the growing dent there on purpose. He tensed when Xian laid back on him.
"Aren't you going to take the pictures?" Xian asked when the alpha didn't make a move to pick up his phone.
The alpha cleared his throat and took the pictures, sneaking a shot where Xian's face was visible. He didn't know why he did that.
"All done," he said and rushed Xian to get off him. He quickly pulled on his clothes. "Text me your account details."
Xian immediately did that, his eyes widening when he saw the amount of money he sent. It would be more than enough for his sister's bills.
"Thank you," he said to the man in front of him. "I really appreciate it."
The alpha nodded. "You probably shouldn't do this again, there's not a lot of good people like me out here. This night could've easily been the worst night of your life."
Xian nodded. "This was an emergency. My sister—"
He was cut off by the ringing of a phone. It was the alpha's.
He picked on the second ring. "I'm coming out right now." He hung up. "Do you need a lift?" He thought of the sweet scent earlier. If Xian walked out like that, it would be like the scent of blood to the bunch of sharks partying below them.
"I don't want to trouble you."
"I insist." He waited till Xian was dressed before walking him out of the room. His scent was already faint but the alpha saw the way eyes immediately drifted to the little man beside him. He drew Xian closer.
"Thank you," Xian said again when they made it outside.
The alpha opened the door for him. "Get in."
"Are you sure?"
"What did I say about repeating myself?"
It seemed like the alpha was suddenly in a bad mood. Xian got into the car, then told him the name of the hospital he was going to.
The silence in the car was a bit uncomfortable but Xian preferred it to the pain of small talk. In a couple minutes they pulled up to the hospital.
"This is it?" the alpha asked and Xian nodded.
"Thank you for the ride."
All eyes were drawn to Xian as he got out of the sleek car with his tattered clothes. He walked to the reception and they directed him to his sister's room.
He got to the elevator on time, joining a woman in a shiny suit and who Xian suspected was her assistant. Her phone dinged as the doors closed.
She had paid him no mind when he entered, but after she looked at her phone, she took a glance at him.
Xian shifted on his feet, starting to feel uncomfortable.
Then, she held her phone up, looking at the screen and back at him.
"Is this you?" she asked Xian who was surprised she was speaking to him.
He looked at her screen, shock filling his expression. On her screen was the picture the alpha had taken earlier, but luckily his face wasn't showing. He immediately shook his head but the woman wasn't convinced.
She opened the collar of his shirt and sure enough the hickey in the picture was there, along with a tiny mole that was just above his collarbone.
Her face immediately twisted in anger as she shoved him against the wall. "Are you fucking my husband?"
