“Seto?”
His cobalt eyes shifted to your beaming face in thought. He loved how your attention was focused solely on him right now especially after entertaining your guests. He wanted more. “Yes?”
You waited until you were further away from the restaurant to address the alpha. The night seemed to complement how relieved you felt after surviving a dinner with your friends grilling about your relationship with the CEO.
It was such a weight off your shoulders.
“Thank you, I… I know you’ve been trying your best.” You fidgeted in place trying to express your thoughts clearly. “I really appreciate you trusting me to be with my friends and you being on your best behavior tonight.”
The CEO hummed in affirmation. “Of course. You wanted space, I’m willing to compromise.”
“I knew you’d understand… My friends were so convinced you were one of those overbearing and controlling guys, but I knew they were wrong.” You wrapped your arms around his waist and nuzzled your cheek against his chest. “They don’t know you like I do, but I’m sure they’ll understand now.”
His arms embraced you back, pleased that you would initiate physical contact first. The moment he inhaled your scent, he unfortunately had to stifle a scoff. His scent on you was waning, you smelled more like them than him.
Unacceptable.
Your friends dared to overwrite his own scent with their own, he couldn’t have that now.
You needed to smell like him at all times.
How else would they know that you were already claimed?
“Would you like to stay over at the mansion?”
You blinked. “Are you sure? I mean… I’m not exactly dressed to stay over…”
He pressed a kiss to your forehead, making you blush. “Yes, I’m quite sure. Mokuba is away on official business and my staff will only bother us if I call them.”
It would just be the two of you, he flashed a smug grin as you squirmed. “Well… I suppose it’ll be fine…”
“You’re always welcome at my mansion darling.” The smile on your face made everything seem worth it. You turned to walk towards his car whereas he nodded to the security detail hidden amongst the trees to dismiss them.
They had done their job just as discreetly as always.
Even though Kaiba Seto gave his word to you, there were guards stationed wherever you went, especially when you traveled with your friends. They made sure to report every single little thing to him. He needed to confirm that you were safe and on watch at all times if he wasn't with you.
It was truly necessary.
He tolerated your friends.
No, he didn’t even bother to remember any of their names. They were just unimportant chess pieces on the board. It would be easy to trample over them, that would take less effort on his end. You were more than welcome to keep them.
At least for now anyway.
You didn’t need to know this, not now, not ever. He made sure you were kept oblivious to everything. All you needed to know was his unconditional love for you.
When the two of you arrived back at the mansion, Seto handed you a pair of his clothes to change into. He made sure his pheromones seeped into them; it was the easiest way to keep you scented. The moment you stepped out of the bathroom, he could tell you’ve been happily inhaling his shirt.
Just as planned.
“Everything okay? You didn’t fall in the toilet now did you?”
You snapped out of your stupor to climb into his bed albeit a bit clumsily. “Eheh… Sorry, I was lost in thought.”
“Really?” His eyebrow rose in feigned innocence. “Do tell.”
“Nothing, nothing at all.”
Next thing you knew he was targeting all your weak spots. With enough experience tickling his brother it came naturally when it came to you. The way he knew how to make you squirm and squeal - he wondered just how long it would take to make you scream for him in a different way.
“Seto! I give, I give!”
Alas he would have to find out another night.
He ceased his ministrations and placed a kiss on your red cheeks. “Now, now tell me what you've been thinking about.”
“Well… I was thinking about how lucky I am to have you. It's so silly.”
A deep chuckle escaped his mouth. “Silly? I’m quite lucky to have you for myself…” His arms wrapped around you and pulled you close to his chest. “I see a wonderful omega that keeps me grounded. No one else even compares.”
“You’re just saying that.”
“Not at all,” You chirped, feeling the slight pinch of his fangs on your scent gland along your neck. The mere intention of such an act sending shivers down your spine. “Would I lie?”
The answer is yes, he would, but only when it came to keeping you safe.
His sights were clearly set on you.
He would never let you go even if you asked.
“I mean… it wouldn’t be the first time someone has…”
For you to even say that made him growl dangerously. “Who?”
You didn’t even realize your mistake. “It was a long time ago… You don’t need to worry about it, Seto. Just knowing you care is enough for me.”
He made a mental note to revisit your file.
A simple command would make things much easier.
Knowing that someone had hurt you before he ever laid eyes on you, he simply would not let that stand.
“Know this.” His grip on you tightened slightly. “I’ll make you forget they ever existed. You’ve caught my eye, which is a worthy feat.”
You laughed. “Don’t pretend you don’t know Seto. You’ve caught other people’s eyes too, you know.”
Another growl and a nip to your ear made you squeak. “Yet you’re the one in my bed right now aren’t you darling?”
Your face grew hotter at the implications. “I mean…well…”
“I think it’s best if you wear something on your neck dear.” You mewled feeling his tongue lick at your neck suggestively. “You wouldn’t want anyone to get the wrong idea right?”
“You’re not being fair…”
A soft purr from his lips was enough to make you putty in his hands. “I just want people to know that you’re with me. I’m the only one that gets to kiss and have you in my arms.”
You grumbled already feeling lightheaded from his praise. “You’re something else Seto…”
He hummed, inhaling your scent once more. It eased him to know that the other scents were fading quickly. “Now I believe it would be best for us to sleep for the night.”
You nodded, positioning yourself against him comfortably. “...Fine, you’re lucky I’m tired… Good night, Seto.”
“Good night darling.”
