[JIMINIE]
An offer.
A reality.
An actual truth that was staring right back at him.
Ming Xiao Zhu had been through enough shit in his entire life that nothing was supposed to surprise him anymore. And yet when his Erasthai made the offer to sit on his lap, the Lycan king stared at him like there was something wrong.
It was like his brain had short-circuited as he stared at the alpha he could have sworn wanted him dead barely hours ago.
This was some sort of illusion for him, because there was just no freaking way that Jiminie— his Jiminie— would make such a bold offer and not take it back.
"Wh—" Agust struggled to voice.
Jiminie just smiled at him, like this was nothing.
But was it nothing when the king couldn't think straight? When the lavender scent was suddenly all that he could breathe in? Did this alpha know what he was triggering with an offer so simple?
Did he know what had been going through Agust's mind for him to just smile and sit himself on the waiting lap like he belonged there? Was he even aware of the chaos he was stirring at the moment?
"This feels so good," Jiminie purred subconsciously and shamelessly.
The room went still.
Dead quiet, you could even hear the humans in their lands.
Lee Tang, who had never seen his best friend like this, stared with an open jaw, like this was not something any of them had expected.
Granted, they had known that Jiminie had that much power over the king, but fuck it they didn't see this and feel like they were intruding. It was just a simple gesture, and yet the room seemed to grow thicker with tension.
Jae Jun, the Kiyoto enforcer, stared with a smirk on his face, almost like he had expected this. As a warrior who had gone to battle against the Lycans and even the king himself alongside Jiminie, Jae Jun had always been the perceptive one.
He had been telling Jiminie about the king's interest in him, long before Agust had kidnapped Jiminie and laid a claim on him.
He was the one person who had insisted, over the years, that Jiminie and Agust had been separated — that they could still mend their bond.
And seeing the king's mouth slack open while Jiminie leaned into the comfort of his mate's laps and arms, Jae Jun couldn't help but be happy and thank the moon goddess for the little miracle that had happened.
Luna Park was unreadable for the first time in eons.
The woman who had always been so expressive with her face was suddenly a blank slate, probably too shocked to say a word, or maybe too surprised to even begin to understand what this was.
She hated Agust with all of her, and yet her son was silently comfortable on the man's lap like he belonged there.
And truly, he did.
They all knew that.
The king had never been one to take an Erasthai, and yet he had laid a mark on the Kiyoto alpha. He had come and ruined the father who had dared to taint Jiminie. It was probably all just whispers in the halls of Kiyoto, but every wolf knew it.
They knew it was the mad king who had murdered the former alpha.
And they knew he had done it because of the current Alpha.
"Aren't we going to start?" Jiminie asked innocently, his little smirk making a show as he dared to adjust himself on Agust's lap. He could already feel the boner on the king, and he loved that it was because of him.
Of course, at the moment, the focus that Jiminie had was on the king's woody scent, which was bound to make him lose his mind.
But gods be damned if Jiminie didn't like the feel of Agust's boner that was rightly positioned under his cunt that had been weeping for the king; long before he even had the guts to go and talk to him after three days.
It was a dangerous move, and yet there wasn't much that anyone could say about it.
And when Jiminie positioned Agust's arms around him, so he was held closely by the king, Agust let out a low growl, one that was meant as a warning for the bratty alpha, and yet one that also seemed to remind everyone in the room that the Alpha belonged to the king.
"Easy there, Xiao Xiao. We have a meeting to deal with, unless you want to hand them these plaques yourself?" Jiminie asked tenderly, his hands rubbing the king's hands on him.
He knew he was playing with fire, and he knew there was only so much patience that the king had. This was not going to be easy for any of them, and he knew it. And yet even then, Jiminie was determined to push those damn limits.
"Yeah… the plaques," Agust groaned as he felt Jiminie press himself against his hard boner. The alpha knew what he was doing. He was messing with the wrong man, and yet the change in Agust's scent was something that excited him more than he could explain.
Of course, everyone in the room could already smell the change, but Jiminie… Jiminie could feel it right in his spine. He could feel it in the way his cunt deliciously wept for the king he was seated on.
"Right," Enforcer Jae Jun said, his smirk still obvious as he stared at Jiminie, who had leaned into the king's woody scent.
He was breathing in the king, almost so desperately that it took every ounce of strength in Agust not to bend him right there and give him what they both wanted.
"So, you mentioned that there are three plaques that will be left in Kiyoto and you will take one to Helia, right?" Lee Tang asked in confirmation. He felt that he was intruding but then they were trapped her with the two mates so they could as well get this going.
"And what is the meeting about then? These plaques could be left in the alpha's room and can only be accessed by codes we know," Luna Park said as she stared everywhere but at her son, who was arching himself desperately against Agust.
The king had kept his hands on Jiminie, and he was trying to hold the Alpha steady.
But Jiminie… he was acting differently.
Strange perhaps.
But to Agust—
This was normal.
"Behave," the king whispered against Jiminie's skin.
Jiminie felt the command go straight to his cunt. He was losing his mind, and sure, he knew that there were so many issues between them that needed to be sorted, but right now, he was just a wolf in need.
He was a deprived mate who loved getting commanded like that.
His mind was reeling with thoughts of Agust fucking him in his office, in his chambers, hell even in public for everyone to see and understand that this little stubborn yet very powerful wolf, belonged to the devil king of Helia.
"I am," Jiminie strained out, right as he pushed his thoughts into the mind link that he and Agust shared, letting the king know just what his little pet was thinking of.
"This meeting is over," Agust growled out before adding;
"Which direction?"
"Third room on the left," Jiminie mumbled.
That was all Agust needed to teleport to Jiminie's room, leaving a smirking Jae Jun, a shocked Luna Park, and strangely, a pissed Lee Tang.
