AOA Chapter 2

 

“Ahh…”

 

The fingers that slipped between her legs pried open her slick flesh, making way. 

 

The cold touch of the leather glove made her flinch momentarily, but Yeonseo soon began to squirm her hips. Her body was so heated that she instinctively moved her hips, sliding his fingers in and out. 

 

The man’s eyes narrowed as he watched her. 

 

Smack! 

 

His hand came down hard on her buttock, the sting sharp and punishing.

 

“Aghh!”

 

“You’re so impatient. Can’t even tell if it’s fingers or a c0ck you’re craving.”

 

He clicked his tongue lowly, then yanked her waist toward him. 

 

Pulling her close enough for their stomachs to touch, he spread the two fingers inside her wide, causing her slick to drip directly onto his erection. 

 

The drops of her arousal fell like kindling, igniting the already swollen, menacing length that twitched in response.

 

Pressing the head of his member against her entrance, he gripped her waist and pushed her down. 

 

The sensation of her opening stretching wide made Yeonseo freeze for a moment, her eyes fluttering as she threw her head back and let out a cry. 

 

The thick, broad head of his member forced its way in, spreading her wide.

 

“Haa…!”

 

“Judging by how desperately you’re clenching, it seems you don’t have much experience.”

 

The man winced slightly as her tightness squeezed his manhood painfully. He pinched the flesh of her buttock between his thumb and forefinger, shaking her slightly to tell her to relax. 

 

But Yeonseo could barely hear him. 

 

All she could feel was the fullness of his length inside her and the flood of pheromones it brought with it. 

 

An intoxicating, euphoric sensation swelled from deep within her.

 

Far from relaxing, Yeonseo trembled as if on the edge of a shallow orgasm, clenching even tighter around him. 

 

The man changed tactics, gripping her hips firmly to hold her in place as he lifted her with the strength of his arms and slammed her back down.

 

“Hng! Ah, ah! Aah!”

 

Thud! Thud! 

 

Each forceful thrust made Yeonseo cry out loudly. Her hot inner walls still clenched around him as if trying to crush his manhood, but she couldn’t overpower him.

 

Yeonseo’s body bounced up and down like she was riding a horse, taking his thick length deep inside her. Her slick poured out like water, filling the air with a heavy, sweet scent. 

 

The man inhaled deeply, the sugary aroma ringing in his skull as he continued to move his arms. His thick forearm muscles flexed, unleashing explosive strength.

 

The sound of flesh slapping against flesh grew faster, and the stimulation inside her became increasingly intense. 

 

Yeonseo wanted to wrap her arms around his neck and cling to him, but her hands were still tied behind her back, leaving her only able to twist her upper body slightly.

 

With her lower body unstable, she had no choice but to lean forward to keep from falling backward. Her face buried in his neck, she panted heavily, the violent scent of his pheromones making her nose damp as if she were about to bleed.

 

The man occasionally took deep breaths, inhaling the sweet aroma that wafted up every time Yeonseo twisted and shook.

 

“Ugh… Ah, haa…”

 

His manhood, like a bulldozer, began to thrust roughly, driven by primal instinct. 

 

The act of planting his seed inside an omega was the ultimate ecstasy for an alpha. 

 

For the first time, a rare heat flickered across the man’s otherwise expressionless face. Gripping her hips as if to crush them, he pulled her down hard and erupted inside her with explosive force.

 

“Haaah…!”

 

Yeonseo’s eyes widened as the alpha’s seed painted her insides white, then glazed over as if her soul had left her body. Her melting-hot body fell backward, her limbs stretching out as the bulge in her lower abdomen became visible beneath her skin. 

 

Every twitch of the man’s member, still pulsing from his release, made her body tremble in response.

 

💫

 

“I guess I should buy that dress after all.”

 

“Unnie, didn’t you just say it wasn’t that great earlier? You’re going to buy it and then never wear it again, aren’t you?”

 

Yeonseo was utterly exhausted from the shopping spree that had lasted over four hours. 

 

Normally, she would have just told her sister to buy it, but it was clear that once purchased, her sister would end up not wearing it, claiming it wasn’t that great after all. 

 

However, her tone seemed to have upset their third sister, Naeun, whose expression immediately turned sharp.

 

“I changed my mind, okay? I like it now. Why are you picking a fight? Does it bother you that I’m using my own card?”

“That’s not what I meant.”

 

“Ugh, whatever. You’re so annoying. I’m going to try it on again, so wait here.”

 

“Whew…”

 

Yeonseo, who hadn’t done anything wrong, felt deflated and had to back down. 

 

It had become a habit for her to give in whenever her sisters got angry, as dealing with their temper was exhausting. She briefly considered going home alone, but the dignity allowance provided by ABO couldn’t be used unless the omega herself authorized it. 

 

So, leaving on her own would be like declaring war. Yeonseo didn’t want to cause a scene with her family.

 

As she waited for Naeun, who had gone into the fitting room, a headache began to throb. Her eyes felt heavy, and the stress made her want to go home as soon as possible.

 

“Yeonseo. Come in here for a second. Help me with the zipper.”

 

At Naeun’s call, Yeonseo swallowed her frustration and stepped into the fitting room.

 

“…Ugh!”

A sudden stream of water jolted her awake. 

 

Yeonseo’s eyes snapped open as she flinched away from the water pouring over her face. The cold touch of the floor tiles and the shower of water felt like a wake-up call.

 

The man, noticing she was awake, continued to pour water over her. 

 

It seemed he was trying to wash away the sticky pheromones clinging to her body. His large hand brushed aside her hair, which clung to her face like seaweed. 

 

Only after his hand moved away did Yeonseo fully wake from her daze and return to reality. 

 

Colors finally filled her vision, which had been nothing but black and white.

 

‘The heat… it’s gone.’

 

She was surprised at how quickly and cleanly the sudden heat had subsided, a testament to the man’s high-grade pheromones. 

 

Though she still felt weak and dizzy from being confined for two days, her spirit was oddly refreshed.

 

The man hadn’t said a word about himself, but given how rare high-grade alphas like him were, she could make an educated guess. 

 

Among alphas in their late 20s to early 30s, there was only one man with an A-grade pheromone reminiscent of oakmoss.

 

“Joo Kangwon…”

 

At the name Yeonseo muttered to herself, his gaze shifted to her. 

 

His expression remained indifferent as he continued to pour water over her, not caring that his black suit was getting splashed. 

 

It was as if he had never intended to hide his identity in the first place, unfazed even though she had figured out who he was.

 

The chairman of Cheonsang Group, a conglomerate that wielded immense power in heavy industry and finance. 

 

Cheonsang Group itself was infamous for its rough tactics, often compared to a legalized organized crime syndicate. 

 

And standing before her was none other than Joo Kangwon, the ruler of Cheonsang Group. It was only then that Yeonseo understood how he had found her before ABO’s rescue team.

 

She tried to move her arms to wash herself, but after being tightly bound for two days, her arms had no strength left. 

 

Just keeping her body from collapsing to the floor was a struggle. Left with no choice, she stayed still, and an eerie silence filled the room, broken only by the sound of water.

 

‘Why would an alpha of Joo Kangwon’s caliber come looking for an ordinary omega like me?’

 

Even if she was an A-grade omega, she wasn’t the only one. 

 

What’s more, the fact that he had swooped in as if he had been waiting for her to be kidnapped made her uneasy. 

 

It felt like she had been outmaneuvered, as if he had been targeting her all along, only for some lowlife kidnappers to interfere and force him to act quickly.

 

The thought sent a shiver down her spine. Her body trembled, but she chalked it up to the cold water. She didn’t want to confirm if her suspicions were true.

 

“Hah…”

 

Joo Kangwon, who had turned off the water, leaned in close to her face and sniffed. His face was so near that she instinctively held her breath. She glanced at him, and when their eyes met, she almost hiccupped.

 

“Delicate but abundant. Now I see why you’ve been single all this time.”

 

“…”

 

She was twenty-five. Among A-grade omegas, it was rare to be single at this age. 

 

Every alpha craved an A-grade omega. With so many options, unless they had very specific preferences, they usually found a mate.

 

But not Hwang Yeonseo. Her relationships never progressed beyond a certain point because her pheromones were deemed unappealing. 

 

People said it was because she had manifested as an omega despite being born to beta parents. 

 

There was no concrete evidence, but Yeonseo cautiously agreed.

 

Even Joo Kangwon, born into a royal alpha family, possessed pheromones so refined and intoxicating that they were almost mesmerizing. He had the depth he spoke of.

 

But hearing such a blunt remark from an alpha she had just shared her heat with hurt her pride more than she expected. She thought she was used to it, but perhaps because Joo Kangwon was such an exceptional alpha, the sting was sharper than she anticipated.

 

“That’s why I came looking for you, so no need to make that face.”

 

“Huh…?”

 

‘What kind of face had I been making?’

 

Yeonseo wanted to check her reflection, but unfortunately, the small, shabby bathroom didn’t have a proper mirror.

 

“Get dressed and come out.”

 

Joo Kangwon left without further explanation, and Yeonseo stared blankly after him before awkwardly getting to her feet. 

 

Only when she stood up completely did she notice the small mirror hanging above the sink. She checked her face, but she still couldn’t tell what expression she had been making. The mirror was too blurry.

 

Instead of the clothes she had been wearing, a fresh set was neatly laid out. When she tried them on, they fit her perfectly. 

 

A chill ran down her spine, but she tried not to dwell on it as she dried her hair. 

 

Just lifting her arms above her head was exhausting, and after much effort, she finally stepped outside.

 

“Ah…”

 

After two days in darkness, the sunlight stung her eyes and skin. 

 

Yet, Yeonseo gladly basked in the sun, taking deep breaths.

 

Even if a greater hell awaited her, the sweet relief of this moment was intoxicating.
