Desire Me If You Can [Novel] - Chapter 72

As the switch was flicked on, Dein’s eyes snapped open. Lying on his side in the bed, he could only move his eyes from side to side. His confused thoughts began to clear one by one, and as the events leading up to his falling asleep became vividly clear, he gasped loudly, taking in a deep breath. The thick body and warm temperature he felt behind him confirmed that it all wasn’t just a dream.
“Thi…
Wait a minute.
Just as Dein was about to sit up abruptly, he paused and looked down. Grayson’s large hand was conspicuously gripping one side of his chest. It wasn’t just that fact that was absurd. Even while deep in sleep and snoring, whenever he seemed about to wake, Grayson would twitch his hand and knead Dein’s chest, then contentedly drift back to sleep.
“…Ugh!”
Struck dumb, Dein slapped away Grayson’s hand and tried to get up, when he felt a pain in his abdomen. Having received Grayson’s member inside him before falling asleep, the foreign sensation and pain might have been due to that.
…Or so he thought, but it was tremendous misconception. Each movement made Dein’s stomach ache more intensely, and his eyes widened in shock.
What the…
No way, he thought as he reached behind with his hand to feel, only to confirm the reality he wanted to deny. Grayson’s member was still inside him, pushed in as deep as it could go.
This crazy bastard…!
Dein cursed out loud as he pulled away. Simultaneously, an immense shock spread throughout his body. “Ah… Ugh…”
He swallowed his moans and curled up. Harsh, ragged breaths flowed naturally. It felt as if his guts had been pulled out, making him unwittingly want to push it back in.
Shaking his head vigorously, Dein staggered off the bed. Classic plot twists disappear in such moments. Waking up to find that the companion of the previous night has vanished was a common trope in classics.
Damn it, I wasn’t kidnapped in the stories!
Dein cursed again as he turned to look at Grayson. He felt like beating him up right away, but if Grayson woke up, handling the next situation would become even more difficult. Even now, accepting reality was hard.
I attacked Grayson Miller!
Eventually, Dein had no choice but to head to the bathroom as if fleeing.
Somewhere, the sound of water seemed to stir. The first to awaken, Grayson slowly regained consciousness….Is it morning? He rubbed his face against the pillow as he vaguely recalled.
Memories suddenly revived, and he snapped his eyes open.
The sound of pouring water continued. Feeling around with his hands, Grayson slowly sat up. He confirmed he was alone in bed and then looked down at his hands. The ecstatic sensation he had gripped was gone, replaced only by empty air. He sighed hollowly and turned his head. The sound was coming from the connected bathroom. Grayson tentatively got out of bed and headed toward the only place to go. The sound of water grew louder. Slowly opening the bathroom door, Grayson leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed, the man inside confirmed.
Dein, who had been shaving with the sink running, knew Grayson had gotten up and opened the bathroom door. However, he couldn’t muster the courage to face him and stubbornly kept his eyes fixed on the mirror, moving the razor back and forth even though his chin was already smooth.
For a while, Grayson just stood there, silently watching such a Dein, who was only wrapped in a large towel around his hips, stark naked otherwise. Of course, there was nothing above his pelvis. Sigh, Grayson sighed and ran a hand down his face.
He had done all this crazy stuff just to check.
He had done it so many times, whether for hours or days, he couldn’t remember, but he hadn’t actually seen it. His mind had completely flown away from the butterfly, leaving only the act of climaxing inside Dein and his chest.
“I thought the rut was proof enough…”
Grayson finally broke the silence.
“Being raped is a first for me.”
“Ugh.”
Dein let out a short scream in resignation. The razor slipped from his startled hand. Dein quickly checked for injuries, then sighed in relief.
“I’ve had many attempts, but never succeeded.”
It was true. There had been numerous close calls, but he had always escaped easily. Grayson Miller was a predator, and nobody could overpower him. He reigned at the top of the food chain.
But his faith was shattered. There were certainly stronger beings in the world, although few and meeting them was nearly miraculous, but it had happened. Daddy had the same traits as Dein, but he would never cause a rut by pouring pheromones on Grayson. He knew this could happen theoretically but never thought it would actually
occur.
“If you have something to say, say it,” Grayson seemed to say as he waited.
“I also used the back for the first time.”
Dein responded nonchalantly as if they were even, but Grayson did not laugh. His expression froze in a cold silence.
The fact that Dein had raped Grayson hadn’t changed. But that didn’t mean he had nothing to say.
“If you hadn’t kidnapped me, this wouldn’t have happened.”
He thought he had made a proper counter, but Grayson’s response was just as cold.
“If you hadn’t tried to kidnap me, it wouldn’t have come to this.”
The ball was back in his court. But Dein didn’t give up.
“You enjoyed it eventually.”
Grayson’s gaze darkened. Realizing his mistake, Grayson’s voice dropped an octave lower.
“Do you realize you just made a very trashy statement?”
“…Sigh.”
Rubbing his face vigorously, he finally sighed deeply. It was cowardly to simply deny and dodge. No matter if the opponent was Grayson Miller, he had to take responsibility for his actions. He had lived a dissolute life, but he had never shirked responsibility.
“I’m sorry.”
Dein softened his tone and apologized honestly. He had faced the situation head-on as he had lived, but he was prepared.
This wasn’t the end.
Even for a libertine man, this incident was shocking. Especially since a supreme alpha had been raped by an omega.
Maybe a lawsuit…
As he vaguely thought about it, Grayson said,
“Apologize to Virginia.”
“Virginia?”
Dein frowned as if he didn’t understand, and instead of answering, Grayson flicked his member with his finger. Under the gown, it was prominently bulging, clearly asserting its presence. Dein blinked, not understanding for a
moment.
“What… this…”
His mind slowly started to move, but he couldn’t speak. Naming his penis was absurd enough, but Virginia? What the hell is he talking about…
The mismatched naming was too much for Dein to even consider objecting. This brazen…!
Dein contorted his face in protest, but Grayson didn’t back down. Staring down with a fierce gaze, Dein just got tired of it all.
“…I’m sorry.”
Sigh, a headache came on, and Dein sighed again, only able to repeat his apology. He just couldn’t bring himself to say the name Virginia.
