Lou Qingshuang’s legs turned so soft that she could only cling tightly to Liu Yu’s shoulders with both hands. The burst of pheromones spilling from her mouth dragged her into a state of pseudo heat as well.
Her pheromones blended with Liu Yu’s. A slender, distinct hand gently pressed Lou Qingshuang into her embrace, holding onto her body just as she was about to slide down.
With her pheromone gland bitten, Liu Yu’s eyes drifted into the haze of a heat response. Her lips unconsciously sought out Lou Qingshuang’s pheromone gland. The moment the tip of her tongue brushed against it, Lou Qingshuang let out a delicate, frail whimper and felt a brief flash of dizziness. Recovering her senses, she gasped for breath and reached out to push Liu Yu away, but Liu Yu caught her hand.
“Stop,” Lou Qingshuang’s raspy voice whispered in Liu Yu’s ear.
Liu Yu kissed her gland lightly before moving her attention elsewhere, settling on Lou Qingshuang’s swan like neck and leaving her marks along it.
Lou Qingshuang’s body went completely limp, she collapsed into Liu Yu’s embrace. Liu Yu leaned halfway over her, holding her close, but Lou Qingshuang halted her next move.
Lou Qingshuang’s pheromones hadn’t been fully injected yet, falling short of the standard needed to soothe an Alpha. At the very least, she needed to help Liu Yu regain her sanity.
Right now, the best approach was to take Liu Yu into cold water to ease the feverish body temperature.
Looking up at Liu Yu, who was still trying to lean down, Lou Qingshuang took the initiative to kiss Liu Yu’s lips. Before Liu Yu could tangle deeper, Lou Qingshuang bit through her lip. The sudden sharp pain brought a momentary flash of clarity to Liu Yu’s eyes. She looked down at the Omega lying back in her arms, her clothes half-open, and reached out to neatly tidy her clothing.
She bent down and picked Lou Qingshuang up in a princess carry. Lou Qingshuang curled up completely against Liu Yu’s chest. The ordeal had left her covered in a layer of sweat. Liu Yu carried her straight into the bathroom, where with a splash, cold water from the showerhead drenched both of them. Shocked by the cold water, Lou Qingshuang shuddered as the icy stream thoroughly soaked both of their nightgowns.
Lou Qingshuang wrapped her arms around Liu Yu’s neck, staring up at the water from the showerhead. On the other side of the room, the large bathtub was already filled with water.
Liu Yu gently set Lou Qingshuang down. The two of them stood together beneath the shower stream, their wet white silk nightgowns clinging tightly to one another. Liu Yu lowered her head, water running down her hair. Her gaze was fixed firmly on Lou Qingshuang, her voice hoarse and low. “I’m sorry, I lost control.”
Lou Qingshuang shook her head. “The fact that you can regain your senses right now is impressive enough. Besides, I agreed to this trade myself. I knew what the risks were. Thank you for stopping in the end.”
Liu Yu looked at Lou Qingshuang. The Omega looked a bit disheveled, the corners of her eyes flushed a delicate red, yet she still maintained a clear and rational train of thought. Cold water rushed over Liu Yu, lowering her skin temperature slightly, though the deep heat burning inside her had not dissipated at all.
“Soothing me, then,” Liu Yu said, lifting her long hair sticking to her back and draping it to one side, exposing her pheromone gland.
That rose pattern in the bathroom looked so exquisitely cool and captivating.
“This is my first time soothing an Alpha. Bear with me,” Lou Qingshuang said, maintaining her composure while her ears secretly flushed bright red.
“Even if you bite hard, I won’t blame you,” Liu Yu leaned down on purpose, resting both hands on the bathroom wall to trap Lou Qingshuang within her space without actually wrapping her arms around her, creating an intensely intimate aura.
She shielded Lou Qingshuang from the direct stream of the shower. Lou Qingshuang shivered under the chill and the drifting water mist. It was freezing cold in the dead of winter, yet the heat emanating from Liu Yu’s body was scorching.
Lou Qingshuang’s slender fingertips unknotted Liu Yu’s nightgown sash. Leaning down, she bit down onto Liu Yu’s gland. The moment her warm, moist mouth bit into the Alpha’s pheromone gland, Liu Yu’s breath hitched, and the hands supporting her on the wall tightened uncontrollably.
Lou Qingshuang’s strands of hair clung tightly to her scalp as well. At this moment, she looked even more striking, a delicate, elegant rose shivering and swaying softly amidst the mist.
A cold, biting rose scent exploded inside Lou Qingshuang’s mouth. Her eyelashes fluttered continuously out of fear that she might trigger another wave of heat in Liu Yu and tempt her to perform a permanent mark.
Lou Qingshuang held Liu Yu’s shoulders tightly, biting through the pheromone gland with force to inject all of her freshly secreted pheromones into Liu Yu’s gland.
The high fever and discomfort, usually so difficult to relieve, gradually began to recede under the soothing process.
Liu Yu’s rationality fully returned. She lowered her head and looked at Lou Qingshuang’s graceful figure, wrapped tightly in her drenched nightgown, water droplets slowly running down her fair, long legs.
Liu Yu’s eyes darkened slightly as a scheme crossed her mind, a way to get even closer to Lou Qingshuang much faster.
Lou Qingshuang’s teeth lifted slightly and pressed down again, her soft tongue brushing over the gland. Liu Yu couldn’t help but let out a low gasp, her body leaning forward and pressing Lou Qingshuang gently against the wall.
Because her gland had received blocking injections before, the amount of pheromones she could secrete was minimal. Lou Qingshuang did her best to wring out whatever pheromones she had left, but in the end, it was not a complete soothing. Still, it was enough to keep Liu Yu from losing control over the next few days, even if some discomfort remained.
Her gums ached from biting so hard. When she finally disengaged her teeth, the bite marks left on the gland briefly held them together. Looking up, Lou Qingshuang realized she had bitten too deep, breaking the skin on Liu Yu’s gland.
Seeing the faint red threads of blood emerging from the gland, she felt a wave of embarrassment. Her technique was truly terrible.
Lou Qingshuang raised her head to look at Liu Yu, her lips accidentally brushing against Liu Yu’s chin. Startled, Lou Qingshuang tried to step back, only to realize her back was already pressed against the wall. She could only say softly, “I’m sorry.”
Liu Yu unclasped her hands from the wall and let out a light laugh. “It’s fine. It’s my honor.”
Her damp, curly long hair clung to her cheeks, making her look exceptionally alluring and seductive. Even tinged with desire, those composed and noble eyes remained captivated.
“Speak normally,” Lou Qingshuang said with a blushing face, lightly patting Liu Yu’s arm to signal her to move aside.
“Hahaha, I thought you would only reject me. So you actually know how to tease back?” Liu Yu burst into a laugh, her voice rich with magnetism.
Lou Qingshuang rolled her eyes with an air of distant elegance. “If it weren’t for the things you did at the beginning, would I really need to be this cautious around you?” Lou Qingshuang teased back, half-probing and half-joking.
“So, do you feel any spark for me now?” Liu Yu pulled up her long hair into a bun with a hair tie and asked as she took off her nightgown.
Looking at her half-turned body and gorgeous figure, Lou Qingshuang couldn’t help but acknowledge that this woman was constantly exuding charm.
“No,” Lou Qingshuang averted her eyes and said, “Now that you won’t lose control anymore, I’ll be taking my leave.”
“Stay with me a little longer,” Liu Yu reached out, lightly grabbing Lou Qingshuang’s wrist and speaking in a soft, coaxing tone.
Lou Qingshuang looked at the dripping wet Liu Yu, whose eyes were blinking softly as if acting cute with her.
“It’s a bit cold,” Lou Qingshuang murmured.
Liu Yu turned off the shower, fetched a clean bathrobe from the cabinet on the side of the bathroom, and handed it to Lou Qingshuang. Turning her back, she removed her soaked nightgown and stepped into the bathtub.
With a soft hum, water bubbled gently around her ears as Liu Yu submerged herself completely into the water.
Watching her actions, Lou Qingshuang also unfastened her soaked nightgown and sleepwear, changing into the bathrobe Liu Yu had provided.
Liu Yu’s bathrobe was very large and long; the hem reached down to Lou Qingshuang’s ankles.
This bathrobe was brand new and carried none of Liu Yu’s scent, which made Lou Qingshuang feel a bit more at ease.
She pulled out her phone and sent a message to Zhu Yan, letting her know that Liu Yu’s breakdown had subsided.
Lou Qingshuang leaned lazily against the sink, quietly observing Liu Yu, who was still soaking in the water. Once Liu Yu got out, it would be time for her to head home.
Fifteen minutes later, the main door to Liu Yu’s home opened. Seeing Lou Qingshuang walk out, the bodyguards and medical personnel waiting at the door all let out a collective sigh of relief. They gathered around her. “Thank you, Ms. Lou. How is the Chairman doing?”
“Nothing major anymore. She’s just soaking in the tub right now. You can go in and check on her,” Lou Qingshuang held her soaked nightgown in one hand and waved to them before heading back to her own apartment.
The moment she got home, Lou Qingshuang rinsed her mouth and took a thorough shower, washing herself clean from head to toe before finally feeling relaxed.
Being around Liu Yu was truly way too nerve wracking.
Early the next morning, Lou Qingshuang was the only person riding the elevator. She felt quite pleased, no one was staring at her today.
