Seductive Beauty - Chapter 72

Chapter 72

Gu Sijiu had seen Song Jinzhi in many guises: the initial cold indifference, the later prickly defensiveness, even the frenzied loss of control during her heats. She had witnessed all of them many times. But the Song Jinzhi before her now felt utterly unfamiliar. The relentless fever had left her terribly weak; even speaking cost her labored, gasping breaths.

Fine red scratches from her own nails traced across her pale chest. Those two full, soft mounds had grown taut and swollen, visibly tortured by her own arousal. Every breath Song Jinzhi took made the pale globes tremble. Such a sight, even setting Gu Sijiu aside, would test the restraint of anyone who was neither blind nor deaf.

The Omega's pheromones lured the Alpha toward instinct: a maddening, restless urge to possess, to make the other belong to her. Gu Sijiu gave a dry cough, only then realizing how parched her throat had become. She wanted to tell Song Jinzhi she did not despise her, but seeing the woman in such misery that she had bitten her lower lip bloody again, Gu Sijiu went downstairs first to bring up all the remaining suppressants.

When she returned, Song Jinzhi had shifted onto her side, curled up on the bed. She had pulled the quilt over herself, clenching the pure white cotton between her thighs, eyes squeezed shut. Gu Sijiu understood that Song Jinzhi must be suffering unbearably; otherwise she would never have uttered such yielding words earlier.

"I'm back. This is all we have." Gu Sijiu held five suppressant injectors. She read the labels and recognized them as high potency suppressants specifically for Omegas. There were already five empty ones in Song Jinzhi's room. Using these five more, she worried about side effects.

"Gu Sijiu, thank you." Seeing her return, a faint light rekindled in Song Jinzhi's dimming eyes. Earlier, when she had not received an answer and the other had simply turned and left, Song Jinzhi had thought Gu Sijiu loathed her so much she could not bear to stay another second. It hadn't occurred to her that she had only gone downstairs for suppressants, not to flee.

Song Jinzhi picked up a suppressant with her unbound hand, only to realize her current strength was so depleted she could barely tear open the packaging, let alone inject it into her gland. She looked at Gu Sijiu helplessly, furious at her own useless body for having to burden the other at a time like this. The more she dwelled on it, the more humiliated she felt. Only now did she truly understand, no matter how hard she tried, when her heat came, she was still a helpless Omega.

"Let me help." Seeing Song Jinzhi had no strength left, Gu Sijiu volunteered. She unwrapped the suppressant and turned Song Jinzhi's body over, her gaze falling on the gland at the back of her neck. The moment her nose drew near, it gave a faint ache, and her vision blurred with unshed tears.

During heat, Alphas and Omegas shared one trait: the gland at the nape of the neck would grow hot and swollen, releasing copious pheromones. It was the most direct site for suppressant injection.

Song Jinzhi had already injected too many suppressants. The gland at her nape had turned a bruised purplish red, the area around the needle marks swollen high, even pooled with stagnant blood. No matter what, Gu Sijiu could not bring herself to inject another suppressant there. Or rather, faced with Song Jinzhi in this state, how could anyone bear to do it?

She set the suppressant aside and looked up to meet Song Jinzhi's damp eyes. A bitter, helpless smile rose in her heart. Gu Sijiu knew that her own hard won resolve was wavering again. Song Jinzhi's scent was so enticing: the most irresistible delicacy to her, impossible to resist. It had been that way from the moment she fell for her.

"Wooden Face, our earlier agreement, is it still valid?" Gu Sijiu turned Song Jinzhi's body back over. The moment her hand brushed the other's shoulder, the woman whimpered, impossibly sensitive. "Agreement... what agreement..." Song Jinzhi looked at Gu Sijiu blankly, her thighs unconsciously grinding against the quilt. Her awareness was crumbling; otherwise, with her temperament, she would never make such an undignified gesture in front of her.

"I mean, the agreement that I'd help you through your heat hasn't been voided. You can't use any more suppressants. I can help you through this heat." After speaking, Gu Sijiu stared at Song Jinzhi directly. She admitted she was soft hearted. She couldn't leave Song Jinzhi to struggle through this alone. Even if things between them might be hopeless, she still wanted to help. And of course, on another level, she still desired Song Jinzhi. She still liked her, after all. She wanted her.

"Gu Sijiu, are you willing? Willing to help me even though you despise me so much?" Song Jinzhi's heart leaped with joy at hearing Gu Sijiu still wanted to touch her. Yet beneath that joy lurked a sharp fear, that Gu Sijiu would treat this as the last time. If that were the case, Song Jinzhi would rather force herself through the three days alone than have Gu Sijiu spend her heat with her while carrying such feelings.

"Wooden Face, I think your heat doesn't just rob you of reason, it makes you stupid, too. Your scent makes me feverish. If I don't do this with you, I'll suffer just as much. Besides, when did I ever say I despised you?" Gu Sijiu was angry that Song Jinzhi was still being foolish at a time like this. If she truly despised her, she would never have cooked her dinner.

It was precisely because she liked her that there were so many misgivings, that she felt hurt whenever Song Jinzhi deliberately kept her at a distance. Song Jinzhi, had your emotional intelligence been devoured by your IQ?

Gu Sijiu didn't want to say more. She stood by the bed, slipped off her nightgown, then peeled off her underwear, already soaked through at the center, and tossed it aside. She noticed Song Jinzhi's eyes growing wetter as she undressed. Her breaths came in rapid pants as she ceaselessly rubbed her thighs against the soft quilt. Gu Sijiu decided the quilt was innocent, so she climbed onto the bed and pulled it away.

"I'll make you feel better as fast as I can. You're burning up." Gu Sijiu touched Song Jinzhi's lower abdomen and was shocked by the searing heat of her skin. She knew an Omega's body temperature rose during heat, but she hadn't imagined it could burn this fiercely. Her own thighs were trembling now as well. Their pheromones intertwined, mingling spontaneously in the air into a different kind of entanglement.

Truthfully, Gu Sijiu was a little unaccustomed to this Song Jinzhi, lying obediently on the bed. During her previous heats, the woman had always been imperious as a queen, demanding service again and again until satisfied. But now, Song Jinzhi lay limp and weak, gazing up at her with glistening eyes, that sight melted Gu Sijiu's heart completely. It only proved that a queen transformed into a little lamb was even more alluring.

Gu Sijiu slowly removed Song Jinzhi's underwear, heavy and sodden from being so thoroughly drenched. She was sensitive enough there to skip any need for foreplay, so Gu Sijiu directly slid two fingers inside. The long pent desire finally met its fill. Song Jinzhi twisted her hips, eagerly meeting her, her bound left hand trembling ceaselessly as her whole body flushed a pale pink.

"Mm... Gu Sijiu... faster, go faster... don't hold back for me." Song Jinzhi's body was more sensitive than either of them had imagined. Her flesh was so ravenous that after only a dozen thrusts, that slick, tender passage began to convulse violently. Gu Sijiu hadn't expected her to crest so quickly; and with no refractory period at all, Song Jinzhi was already urging her to continue.

"Take it slower. Even if it feels too good, you need to hold back a little. I've heard that coming too fast isn't good for you." Seeing how quickly Song Jinzhi had reached her peak, Gu Sijiu feared hurting her body. With tears clinging to her lashes, Song Jinzhi was astonishingly docile.

She nodded, struggling to restrain the waves of pleasure, mouthing Gu Sijiu's name over and over, each time more tender and alluring than the last. Watching her like this, Gu Sijiu felt her own body heat threatening to catch flame.

"Gu Sijiu, I want to hold you... I... mm... my hand..." Song Jinzhi looked up at the woman above her, straining to free her pinned left arm. Seeing the arm already crisscrossed with scars now marred by fresh red marks, Gu Sijiu hurriedly untied the necktie. Her hands freed, Song Jinzhi lifted herself up, wrapping her arms tight around Gu Sijiu, clamping her legs around her waist, desperately bucking into her embrace. The motion drove the fingers deep inside, and a sob like moan unfurled at Gu Sijiu's ear.

"A Jiu... don't despise me. I'm not the kind of villain you think." Gu Sijiu's ministrations had left Song Jinzhi lost in bliss. In this state, her voice softened far beyond its usual register, sounding like a spoiled plea, and indeed she was pleading. Hearing her call her A Jiu, a form of address more captivating than any other, Song Jinzhi nuzzled against her chest. Making such an adorable gesture, yet clenching so fiercely around her fingers below, Gu Sijiu was madly in love with this side of Song Jinzhi. The call alone had turned her heart utterly tender.

"Jinzhi, I don't despise you. You have to believe me." Gu Sijiu's voice softened without her noticing. The moment she finished, Song Jinzhi pushed herself up urgently and kissed her. They kissed with fiery abandon, as if each wanted to devour the other alive. Gu Sijiu's movements grew especially fervent. After being sent over the peak several times in succession, Song Jinzhi finally recovered some strength, her body no longer burning as fiercely as before.

The two lay on the bed, somewhat exhausted. Gu Sijiu rested with her eyes closed, her thighs lightly pressed together. Song Jinzhi's gaze traveled down from her chest, finally settling between her legs. The patch of pale red curls glistened faintly with moisture, exuding a silent plea of need. Song Jinzhi suddenly recalled what Gu Sijiu had done alone in the room that day. Even as a defective Alpha, Gu Sijiu had her own desires. This time, Song Jinzhi not only caught on, she wanted to satisfy Gu Sijiu in return.

"Gu Sijiu, are you suffering?" Song Jinzhi suddenly rallied. She flipped over, pressing down on top of her. At her question, Gu Sijiu froze. Before she could react, Song Jinzhi's hand found its way uninvited between her legs. What was this? Had Song Jinzhi finally figured it out? Why was she suddenly touching her? A dozen questions flickered through Gu Sijiu's mind. Before she found any answers, she plunged into a state of sheer ecstasy.

Was she... finally going to be cherished?
