"Jiyeon," she began, her voice steady yet filled with emotion, "can you... can you mark me?"
I stared at her, my mind racing. The request was so unexpected, it left me momentarily speechless. Yura's eyes were wide, full of trust and something deeper, something that made my heart beat faster. I had never imagined this moment, and certainly not like this.
"Are you sure this is what you want?" I asked, my voice barely more than a whisper. Panic surged through me, but Yura, ever perceptive, smiled softly.
"If you're so stressed about it, you can just leave me a temporary mark," she said, her gaze unwavering. Her eyes were filled with anticipation, and despite my hesitation, I felt a surge of determination. A temporary mark was better than a permanent one, right? I could do this.
I nodded slowly, and Yura took my hand, leading me to my bedroom. She closed the door behind us with a soft click, then turned to face me. Her lips met mine, and for a moment, all my worries melted away. Her kiss was gentle, exploratory, but soon it deepened, becoming more urgent. Her hands roamed my body, sending shivers down my spine.
She reached for the anti-blocking pheromone sticker on my neck, her fingers trembling slightly as she peeled it away. A few seconds later, I did the same, exposing our scents to each other. The air was suddenly thick with the mingling aromas of vanilla and strawberry.
The intensity of the moment grew. Our kisses became more passionate, more desperate. It felt like we were wrapped in threads and filaments, like a delicate cage woven around us, confusing us and making us crave more. A strange, unfamiliar beat echoed in my heart, urging me forward.
The scent of pheromones grew stronger, intoxicating. It was not an illusion. The tip of my tongue tingled with the sweetness of strawberries, and my brain felt dizzy from the overwhelming vanilla scent. I moved closer to Yura, drawn to her scent, to her warmth.
She sighed softly, and the sound snapped me out of my daze. Her hair was slightly damp, clinging to her soft skin, and her eyes were glazed over with desire. She looked like a ripe strawberry, ready to burst with flavor.
Yura sighed softly, her breath hot against my ear. I could feel her body trembling against mine, and I held her tighter, not wanting to let go. The moment was perfect, and I wanted it to last forever.
But all too soon, the spell was broken. Yura pulled back slightly, looking up at me with those wide, trusting eyes. She touched the spot on her neck where I had marked her, a small smile playing on her lips.
"Thank you," she whispered, and I felt my heart swell with emotion. She leaned in, kissing me softly, and I knew that, temporary or not, this moment would stay with me forever.
We lay there for a while, wrapped in each other's arms, the scent of vanilla and strawberries still lingering in the air. The world outside seemed far away, and for once, I didn't care. All that mattered was Yura, and the bond we had forged.
Eventually, reality intruded. Yura stirred, looking at me with a mischievous glint in her eye. "So, was it as bad as you thought?"
I laughed softly, shaking my head. "No, it was... it was perfect."
She smiled, and I knew that, no matter what happened, we would always have this moment. A temporary mark, a temporary bond, but one that would stay with us forever.
As we lay there, I couldn't help but think about what the future might hold. Would we ever make this bond permanent? The thought both thrilled and terrified me. But for now, I was content to simply be with Yura, to enjoy the present.
And as the scent of vanilla and strawberries filled the room, I knew that whatever happened, we would face it together. Because in that moment, we were more than just alpha and omega. We were Jiyeon and Yura, and that was enough.
