As if it was sized for him, not for Valentin. Or maybe he thinks the size of this bouquet is a asure of his courtship…? Valentin thought while looking at him, appearing like an alpha who had co in a textbook manner to court an oga he liked.
‘Does this person really like …?’
The heavy and fresh scent flowing from the roselia with petals as big as Valentin’s fist made his mood a bit better. Valentin unknowingly sniffed and took several deep breaths, savoring the scent, then raised his head, stared straight at the one who handed him the flowers, and exclaid in admiration.
‘Wow…!’
It was his first ti seeing him in casual clothing.
Unlike the magnificent appearance with his uniform adorned with dazzling dals standing tall on the first day of the ball, he was wearing a tailcoat suit with a long back like any gentleman.
The conviction from the past that the overwhelming stature and solid, intimidating presence like a huge sailing ship ca from his uniform seed to need correction. Despite wearing a suit that used this year’s cute dark violet vest color as a point, delicately tailored by a designer who poured their heart into it, he boasted an exceptional aura.
“It’s been a while, but you don’t look well.”
After coming without an invitation and nestling a bouquet in his arms without a greeting, he started off by comnting on Valentin’s appearance. How insensitive and rude… Valentin pouted his lips, taking advantage of the gap hidden by the flowers. Then who told you to suddenly visit? Where did you learn the manners to visit an elder(?) oga like this out of the blue? And whose fault is it that I look like this…!
However, unable to openly express complaints in front of him who was notorious for a different reason than himself, Valentin could only ask a timid question in a small voice.
“What brings you here today…?”
“Let’s go out. Let’s go on a date.”
Reynard’s purpose ca in straight, cutting off Valentin’s unfinished words.
“Pardon…?”
A date…?
“I heard you just woke up, but you’re flawlessly beautiful as always. Just put on an outer garnt and it’ll do. Let’s go out, quickly.”
Like that, Reynard took the bouquet of roses back from the hand of the staggering Valentin and entrusted it to the butler standing next to him. And he directly ordered to prepare for going out imdiately. He caught Valentin again, who was swaying and losing balance from suddenly having the bouquet snatched away.
Perhaps because he was in the military, his commands were natural yet subtly coercive. Swept up in his montum, Valentin and the butler Dawson unknowingly found themselves following his orders like marionettes.
And a mont later, Valentin was neatly loaded into Reynard Dennox’s carriage and riding down the streets of Eldon’s downtown with a blank face.
The carriage he was riding for the first ti in broad daylight boasted battleship-like defense and sturdiness, made with steel-like black iron. Valentin blankly fell into thought as he touched the walls of the carriage that felt like a prison, solid yet cozy, from which he would never be able to escape on his own without his help.
‘What in the world is happening right now…?’
Valentin, who really ended up going outside after getting dressed in appropriate clothing with the quick attendance of Dawson, couldn’t co to his senses at all due to the excessively fast-paced events.
And perhaps because he looked quite out of it even to the other person, Reynard raised his hand from across, gently stroked down Valentin’s face with his fingers, lifted his chin, and asked.
“Why are you so quiet? Are you angry?”
“Pardon…?”
“I’m sorry I couldn’t write. I had to urgently go to the Grand Duchy.”
But he added that he did his best to quickly go and return in order to hurry back to the capital.
Were we on terms to exchange letters, sir…? Valentin beca even more out of it as if he had beco the protagonist of so role-play he wasn’t aware of. He only kept dumbly asking back, “Pardon?”
Perhaps sensing sothing from the blankly opened mouth and round sky-blue eyes, Reynard moved to sit next to Valentin and naturally wrapped an arm around his waist to hug him. And he brought his mouth to et the cutely gaping mouth as if water was flowing.
“Ah…!”
He moved carefully and slowly, but seed to have no hesitation about the justification for his actions. As if saying the natural destination of my lips is your lips, he kissed like naturally handling an oga that fully belonged to him.
The alpha’s pheromones, strong enough to be suffocating, explosively spewed out and filled the carriage. His pheromones had a heavy scent reminiscent of the deep sea, cool yet bitter, like powerful polo or mint. It was Valentin’s first ti encountering an alpha pheromone that felt so strong and heavy enough to be considered potent.
It gradually changed its color from pheromones expressing pleasant emotions to sexual pheromones with a seductive aning. And it was only natural for Valentin to lose his mind from that scent.
His nose bridge, upright like a Greek war god on his sculpture-like handso face, touched and rubbed against Valentin’s delicate white face.
And his thick, hot tongue invaded Valentin’s mouth, caught his soft tongue and curled it up.
“Ahh…”
After sweeping the inside of his mouth and gently biting and licking his lips, he suddenly dropped his lips, brought his nose to Valentin’s neck, and took a deep breath. He repeatedly pressed his nose firmly to Valentin’s neck and head to sll the scent multiple tis, then licked the area near the pheromone gland with his tongue to taste it and deeply slled the scent again. What is he, so kind of drug-sniffing dog…
“Your pheromones seem to have changed a bit…”
Valentin flinched and stiffened at his muttered words.
Could it be…?
Did this person realize I’m pregnant through my pheromones?
‘Did he notice…?’
Valentin stiffened, feeling the blood drain from his entire body. Co to think of it, he seed to have heard sowhere that pheromone scents change when pregnant.
Unaware that Valentin had tensed up, Reynard expressed his thoughts on the pheromones.
“It beca more cozy and sweet than before. But it’s not sothing that stimulates sexual desire… Hmm, it’s strange…?”
Fortunately, Reynard didn’t seem to know at all what the change in pheromones ant.
Valentin secretly sighed in relief and swept his chest, trying not to show it.
For a dominant alpha, he’s more sensitive than the dominant alphas in my family. Of course, it may be natural since my family wouldn’t have a reason to stick their noses in my neck and detect pheromone changes. Valentin shrugged his neck and naturally escaped his embrace before anything else was discovered, changing the subject.
“Where are we going?”
As he asked, changing the atmosphere, Reynard also detached his body and sat up straight.
“I heard from the butler earlier that you haven’t had a single al today?”
“Yes…”
“Then we should eat first. Do you like seafood?”
“Well, more or less…”
Valentin didn’t really have any food he was picky about.
It was true.
It really was, until just yesterday.
“Ugh.”
As soon as he entered the entrance of the restaurant that Reynard introduced as most closely resembling the excellent taste of seafood dishes, the pride of the Grand Duchy where three sides of his territory were surrounded by the sea, Valentin felt nausea rising and secretly covered his nose.
“Is there a problem?”
Reynard raised his eyebrows and asked, seeing Valentin hurriedly covering his nose with his arm while escorting him.
No…! Absolutely not! It’s over if it’s found out.
Thinking that he absolutely cannot let anyone, not even the sperm donor in front of him, know about his pregnancy, although he didn’t know exactly what it was, Valentin held back his gagging with all his might.
It felt like so huge thing would happen if this fact was revealed.
Unknowingly breathing through his mouth instead of his nose, he answered in a nasal voice.
“No! No problem at all!”
Not even noticing that it sounded like ‘Nyo! Nyo pwablem at all!’, Valentin swung his arms more vigorously and followed the restaurant manager first.
Thinking that he looked like a cute puppy pretending to be a beast, Reynard secretly chuckled and followed in to sit in the private room.
Valentin painstakingly ate the fresh seafood dishes that ca out course by course. The unique fishy sll of the sea entered his nose and stirred his stomach into a ss, but he tried with trendous patience to absolutely not show it.
If it’s really found out, it’s over.
If it’s discovered, it feels like sothing trendous will happen. Such thoughts had been dominating his little head for a while.
This was the first ti he had shown such perseverance.
Trying to endure with all his might reminded him of the past. In the past, he had filled canvases larger than 100 numbers for days with passion to depict the shimring scenery and images in front of his eyes. But even then, he hadn’t tried this hard…
So this was Valentin’s first perseverance with all his heart and soul.
And the strong, huge alpha who had gone back and forth between the military and battlefields throughout his youth, thus hardly having proper dates with ogas, didn’t notice that at all. He just kept eagerly recomnding his own dishes as well, saying the sight of him eating well was lovely.
As a result, Valentin ended up eating an trendous amount compared to usual and got properly stuffed…
With an overly full body, he ca out of the restaurant and while going down the stairs, he staggered from pregnancy anemia and eventually fainted again.
“Valentin…!”
He fades away to the sound of soone desperately calling his na from sowhere…
*
It felt good to be wrapped in soft sheets.
Satisfied with the sohow familiar yet alluring alpha pheromone scent coming from the blanket, he unknowingly rubbed his cheeks and snuggled deeper into the sheets, pressing his body closer.
He wanted to lie down a bit more like this, but the murmuring voices kept coming from the side, waking Valentin up.
“He’s pregnant.”
What…? Did I regress this ti?
Valentin was plagued by a strange sense of déjà vu as he heard the pregnancy announcent again, which he seed to have heard earlier.
Is this déjà vu…? He was sure he had experienced a situation like this earlier too.
“What did you say?”
The low, thick baritone of the alpha reaching his ears is familiar yet eerie.
