Atem sat nervously on the couch in Kaiba's room, keeping his legs tightly crossed to hide his boner while the sweet scent was assaulting him from all angles. The urge to masturbate was high, but he didn't know if it would be Kaiba or the hostile servant coming back up.
They were both gone for a while. Atem reached into his pocket when his phone buzzed, absently reading Anzu's reply while his boner throbbed irritably.
"Your theory might be correct. If you feel pressure from another Alpha in the household, one that's close to him, he may have bonded to the scent without knowing. IDK. Be careful! I heard Alphas get killed like this all the time! Safely un-bonding can take years! Imagine if you had to be the one to unbond with him! Remember that one previous un-bonding you had? Painful!"
Ugh, Atem thought darkly, quickly writing "thanks" before putting his phone away and lacing his fingers around his knee. Omegas were truly troublesome, but Kaiba was worth fighting for. If he had to kill the poor manservant to get Kaiba away from him…
The door swung open and Atem stood up so fast, his head spun, so he sat back down and crossed his legs again. Damn. That had almost been bad.
Kaiba saw the large bulge in Atem's pants and ignored it.
He'd been expecting Atem to jump on him, but the fact that Atem showed restraint and sat back down was impressive. Maybe Isono's restraint was impressive too.
He'd never know.
"There's a problem, and it's your problem now," Kaiba said, walking safely behind his desk before leveling his gaze with Atem's, his blue eyes dark with concern. "My manservant is acting like a bloodhound because he may have bonded with my scent. I can't break the news to him because I already gave him bad news today."
"Which was?" Atem prompted carefully, and Kaiba's answer threw him off completely.
"I told him I liked you," Kaiba said bluntly, watching Atem's eyes widen prettily as the spiky-haired Alpha remained silent and patiently listened. "And I had to repeatedly tell him not to kill you in your sleep, if you ever do manage to sleep…here."
Atem nodded, and nodded again, taking in all of Kaiba's words.
Kaiba wanted him to sleep here, eventually.
But he would be murdered by the servant.
Understood. A confrontation about un-bonding was needed.
Or…the servant had to be sent away. Better focus on the positives, to keep Kaiba calm.
"You like me?" Atem grinned, deciding to ignore everything else Kaiba had said. "That's nice, Mr. Kaiba. I…" and he paused, hearing footsteps in the hallway that paused the second he stopped talking.
Oh… no.
Kaiba clenched his jaw and felt his heart leap into his throat. Oh fuck.
"Let's have a glass of wine together," Atem said warmly, standing and walking to the door. "Your servant will get it for us. He will show me your impressive wine cellar."
Atem strode down the hall, and sure enough, the manservant was standing at attention a few steps away, shamelessly eavesdropping.
"Wine?" Atem asked sweetly, and the man glared at him before nodding and walking down the stairs.
I must sever the connection fast, Atem thought, deciding to go with the blunt truth.
"Isono, is it?" Atem asked lightly, seeing the manservant freeze and turned to look at him with an expressionless face.
"Well, it must feel horrible to have bonded to a scent without knowing. Let me show you I'm worthy of taking him off your hands," Atem said quietly, reciting what the Alpha in his past had said to him. "I appreciate that he's been under your care for so long."
Isono blinked rapidly, his ears ringing unpleasantly.
What was this Top Alpha suggesting?
That he himself was bonded to Master Kaiba?
Impossible.
A few whiffs and uncomfortable erections did not mean there was a bond.
Yes, he cared about Master Kaiba deeply, but not enough to touch him in his area.
What an insulting thing for this man to say.
"How dare you—" Isono began, but Atem walked past him and continued talking casually.
"It must have happened slowly over the years. Regardless," Atem turned to give the taller man a steely look. "You heard him. He likes me but he uses you. Let him use you, and let him like me, and we will exist in harmony."
Isono blinked and his feet sank into the ground slowly as he digested Atem's words, but the Alpha wasn't done talking.
"I will allow you to live here if you can accept that," Atem said firmly, making sure to add, "I am above you. Don't overstep your position or you'll hurt him, and then I'll be forced to hurt you. Let's not do that."
Pleased with that speech, Atem hurried away to the nearest room for safety, hoping he'd sounded confident, but deep down, he felt absolutely terrible when he saw the color leave the servant's face.
That was the way to do it. And hopefully, he'd done it correctly.
First, slap the other Alpha in the face with reality.
Second, make sure they established their mutual feelings for the Omega.
Third, slap another harsh truth related to something the Omega said or did.
Then, threaten the other Alpha's relationship with the Omega, while seemingly being kind about letting him live, then follow that up with a final threat of violence.
Uncouth, but it usually worked.
It worked for me, so it should work on him, Atem thought glumly, sitting down on another plush lounge and staring blankly at the screen on the wall. Kaiba had come in asking him to take care of it, so he did. This was going to be his life now: taking care of matters for Kaiba.
Upstairs, Kaiba listened quietly to the pounding of his own heart, deciding fifteen minutes was enough time, and he hadn't heard a gunshot, so it should be fine. Also, he'd stopped randomly sweating three minutes ago. Maybe the interaction was over. Had Atem been successful? Time to find out.
He hurried out of the room and down the stairs, reaching the kitchen area and seeing it was empty. A cork popped in the other room, so Kaiba backtracked and walked into the sitting area, surprised to see Isono dutifully pouring Atem a glass of wine, the two men acting completely normal.
Nervous, Kaiba watched them closely, seeing Isono bow stiffly to Atem and exit the room through the other hallway. Odd. Very odd. Atem had managed to brainwash and tame Isono. Impressive, actually.
"What happened?" Kaiba asked stiffly, sitting down an arm's length away from Atem on the lounge and Atem gave him a sad smile.
"I fixed it like you requested," Atem said robotically, raising the glass and toasting him. "Thank you for the tour. Thank you for this wine."
Kaiba said nothing, wondering if he should review the camera feeds to see what really happened before Isono came striding back into the room, carrying a tray with hot coffee like he'd promised.
Atem sipped the wine, not really tasting it, nearly choking on it when he saw a tiny, plastic pill cup with two, oval-shaped tablets. W-Were those…? This was his first time seeing Kaiba openly taking suppressants.
Stunned and horrified, Atem watched as Kaiba picked up the cup, tossed it back with ease and then reached for the coffee, nodding at Isono to dismiss him.
Isono grit his teeth and stood his ground, noticing Atem staring at the pills before Kaiba had swallowed them. This Alpha really didn't know. Kaiba was telling the truth. The shock he'd seen on Atem's face was genuine.
"You have a nice set of screens," Atem said conversationally into the tense silence. "You watch movies in here?"
"No, I have theater room," Kaiba replied tersely, wondering why Isono was still standing there if Atem had 'fixed it'.
"Then let's go there," Atem declared, and Kaiba shook his head, eyeing Isono challenging.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Kaiba asked nervously, and he felt Atem stiffen beside him. "Nothing has changed. You bring the tray, then you leave. You've done that, now leave."
"I do not…trust him," Isono replied through gritted teeth, and Kaiba's eyelid twitched.
"Then you can watch me from the cameras," Atem said cleverly, resting his hand on Kaiba's knee, seeing Isono's eyes widen at this movement. Kaiba didn't react, feeling the heat from Atem's hand burn through his pants, but it was fine.
"I will do that," Isono said aggressively, marching out of the room, and the second he was gone, Atem turned to Kaiba and said, "is it dark in there? The theater room? And cameras? Can he see through the dark there? Let's go now. Take us there. We need to convince him gently that he needs to un-bond with you."
Kaiba nodded and downed his coffee before rising to his feet and hurrying through the house, feeling Atem stick closely beside him while whispering, "I won't touch you, but we have to make convincing sounds, do you understand? He won't trust me until he sees that I'm worthy enough to take care of you. He's possessive…clearly, and that makes him dangerous to you when I leave."
Oh shit, Kaiba thought angrily, walking down the steps leading to the theater room while Atem continued to talk rapidly.
"It seems you're right. I shouldn't leave tonight, but it also looks like I'm not sleeping tonight either," the spiky-haired Alpha said, sounding irritated. "He's a very good servant, very loyal, but only if he'll allow you to really do what you want. In fact, if you wanted to unbond with me, let me know now."
Kaiba tapped the lights on and dimmed them, his chest tight with turmoil.
Wow.
Atem was really offering to do that for him.
Un-bonding took several years, or was impossible, because science had yet to prove that a bond was truly broken, because tests have showed that bonds could be revived over time no matter how long ago they were formed.
"If we're really incompatible, we can do that as a last resort," Kaiba said clearly, and he had a feeling Isono was now watching them.
Oh fuck. This was how he always knew where Isono was and what he was doing, or feeling.
Atem threw himself down on the leather seats and grabbed a pillow, pressing it into his lap to hide any random erections and smiled at Kaiba.
"Can you pick one? I've been so busy, I haven't had the chance to sit down and watch a movie," Atem said, seeing Kaiba eye the camera in the corner of the ceiling before sitting down.
The servant was watching.
Understood.
"You pick. I'm done making decisions for the week," Kaiba growled, tossing Atem the remote and seeing him snatch it up with his eyes glowing while he tapped every button playfully.
This was an act, right? Atem never acted like this in front of him…ever.
He was behaving like he'd never seen a remote with more than five buttons.
Atem was a great actor for sure.
The lights turned off completely and Kaiba froze, hearing Atem laugh and say, "oh! That's what it does!" And the lights flashed on again too fast, too bright.
"There's a toggle! Don't turn it up all the way! We'll go blind!" Kaiba cried, reaching down to wrench the remote from Atem's hand while a headache throbbed behind his ears from the sudden bright lights.
"I've got it! Let go! Get off me!" Atem said, kicking out at him and missing on purpose.
Kaiba wobbled dangerously on the soft leather chair, digging his fingers into Atem's palm to get at the remote and he felt Atem's hand tightened over his before the lights turned off again completely.
Everything was pitch dark, and Kaiba felt the chair cushion dip underneath him as Atem continued to thrash as he loudly rubbed the cushion he was holding on the backing of the chair, breathing heavily.
Kaiba's stomach twisted strangely when he realized Atem was…making convincing sounds.
"Is this…fine?" Atem panted, giving his knee a blind nudge, and Kaiba's head spun with arousal as he nodded, and then Atem stop moving completely, asking again in a more accusatory tone. "Tell me if it isn't."
"It is. It fucking is. Don't stop," Kaiba said, biting back a laugh as Atem nodded and continued to drag the cushion rhythmically over the theater chair's headrest.
Hilarious and fucking cute. But were they actually going to kiss and touch each other, or were they just going to rub the furniture to pretend?
"Hey, can you come closer?" Kaiba asked hoarsely, crawling towards Atem in the dark on all fours and feeling the cushion land softly atop his head as Atem set it on him.
"I'm here," Atem said quietly, his body growing hot as he wondered if Kaiba really wanted to try something. If he did, he wasn't sure if they could stop.
Kaiba leaned down blindly, his lips hitting something soft and furry, which he realized was Atem's eyebrow, so he moved lower, and lower until he passed a fluttering eyelid, the high bridge of a slender nose and then finally, his reward was a pair of soft, plump lips that enveloped him warmly, with teeth and tongue, biting, licking, sucking him playfully.
Huffing happily, Kaiba straddled Atem again, and felt him stiffen excitedly underneath him.
"I can't stop! I'm telling you right now, I can't stop," Atem said seriously, resting his hands on Kaiba's chest, ready to push him away. "Even if you say the words, I will not hear you. I don't know why I can't…I just—"
"Shut up," Kaiba growled, digging his fingers in through the fronts of Atem's spiky blond bangs and feeling his ass twitch excitedly. "You think I don't know? I know exactly what you mean, so just shut up. You're ruining it for me."
"I-I'm sorry," Atem breathed, his chest heaving excitedly as he arched upwards and felt Kaiba's palm press down hard onto his arousal which was aching to be touched. "Do that again. Please. I'll shut up."
Kaiba grinned and wished he could see Atem underneath him as he palmed the hardness underneath his own, feeling for the tense knot just above a pair of soft testicles. He pressed his thumb into it and gave it a firm, circular massage, and Atem jerked and spasmed uncontrollably underneath him, gasping and laughing.
How fucking sexy!
Pleased, Kaiba leaned down to blindly capture Atem's lips again, missing several times before hot hands clamped around the sides of his face, maneuvering him to the left slightly before their lips met again, and they kissed passionately.
Atem melted with joy, loving the way Kaiba tasted like coffee and something else, something sweet and unique. He parted his lips, asking for more….
And then the lights flashed on intrusively above them at full brightness.
Growling in anger, Kaiba winced and looked over the headrest of the theater chair, seeing Isono standing in the doorway, shaking with disbelief.
"Get…out!" Kaiba yelled, and Atem struggled to sit up while undoing his tie rapidly with his other hand, trying his best to look disheveled and more undressed.
Popping his head up, Atem glared at the servant and said, "did we agree to exist peacefully or did we not?"
"We did, but please stop," Isono begged, his voice weak with emotion, sounding like he was on the brink of tears. "I need time to…come to terms with it. I will leave now, but please…I can't bear to watch anymore."
"Then stop watching," Kaiba growled, and Atem rested a warm hand on his shoulder, saying, "we will not do anything to upset you for the rest of the weekend, but I will stay here tonight, because now, I don't trust you with him, and his safety is my highest priority."
Atem stared unblinkingly at Isono, seeing the man nod stiffly, bow, and then exit without fixing the harsh lights.
"This is ridiculous," Kaiba said tiredly, digging around the cushions for the remote to dim the lights that were making his eyes ache. "…All that 'highest priority' shit. You two read from the same script."
"No. We care about you, and it's a competition," Atem replied seriously, his erection still throbbing painfully. "He doesn't trust that I can meet your needs."
"Yeah, you haven't been meeting them," Kaiba said spitefully, feeling his asshole leak in agreement, and Atem gave him a pained smile.
"I just promised him we wouldn't do anything. We can do other, mentally engaging activities instead of being physical," Atem offered, and Kaiba rolled his eyes. Sure. Whatever. This fight between Isono and Atem was stupid. He wanted to fix his asshole from leaking, but that wasn't on the Alphas' current list of problems.
How wonderful to always be neglected as the Omega while the Alphas fought.
Super awesome.
"You're upset," Atem said perceptively, his chest tightening as Kaiba shot him a lustful glare.
"I'm. Horny," Kaiba replied through gritted teeth, his cheeks and ears burning at the admission. "Can we do anything without fucking up or being interrupted?"
"When was there fucking up?" Atem protested, sitting up and adjusting his tie. "I was trying to be polite!"
"And you came off as rude. Good job," Kaiba said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Isn't that why you're here in the first place? To make it up to me? By fighting with my manservant?"
"We would've fought eventually," Atem mumbled, thinking it was inevitable he'd have to fight another alpha for 'ownership' and the thought made him shudder. At least Isono worked for Kaiba and wasn't a stranger.
Sighing, Kaiba grabbed the remote and turned the lights off completely again, speaking loudly for the camera, "then take a nap. You said you weren't sleeping tonight so get some sleep now."
Atem nodded gratefully and peeled off his blazer, throwing it over the edge of the chair and laying down on the soft leather, freezing in shock when Kaiba's hand came creeping down his thigh again and wrapped around the base of his semi-hard cock through his pants, giving his knot a teasing squeeze again.
H-Holy shit.
This wasn't a game.
Did Kaiba know his life was at stake?!
"Get comfortable. You can lean on me," Kaiba said evilly, and to his extreme satisfaction, Atem threw himself forward and buried his nose in the crook of his ear, and took a deep whiff, shuddering happily into his hand.
Lost in a haze of Kaiba's scent and his own pleasure, Atem curled his arms around Kaiba's waist and tucked his knees up to his chest, enjoying the way Kaiba's hand teased and stroked him, sending hot waves of electricity down his legs and spine.
"Better now?" Kaiba asked, quietly unbuckling his own belt and inching his pants off his waist, feeling Atem curl up harder against his hand. "How sleepy are you?"
"Not…at all," Atem said, struggling to talk through his stiff breaths. Kaiba's hands were padding up his body before something hot and wonderful engulfed him completely. It was an amazing feeling, nothing like he'd ever felt before—
Biting back a gasp, Atem blindly reached down and only felt clothes bunching underneath his fingertips as the heat moved heavily up and down on his length, slamming down all the way to the base and locking tightly around his knot. Knees were tight around his waist, and Kaiba's sweet breath was inches from his nose.
"How does it feel? You can't see at all, so you can't lie to me," Kaiba whispered in his ear, sending a cold pang through his chest. "Tell me it feels better than a hand, or a mouth…or anything you could ever…" the tightness clenched around his base again, "…want…" and Atem opened his mouth to let out a soft cry, but warm lips came crashing down and a silky tongue dipped down against his, drowning him in sweetness.
He couldn't do anything other than lose himself in the way Kaiba rocked down onto him while clenching at the same time, and Atem's head spun with disbelief. Was this really happening or was it a trick? It was too dark to see anything, and they weren't making a sound.
Kaiba's lips had effectively silenced him, and the mysterious, pleasurable weight that engulfed his lower body moved in sync with the upward thrusts of his own hips.
A hot tightness curled low in his stomach, and Atem shook his head frantically, trying to tell Kaiba that he was going to cum…when he spasmed and came in a sudden rush and shivered happily, green spots dancing before his eyes while he was surrounded by the heavy scent of Kaiba's pheromones.
Excited and satisfied, Kaiba pressed his forehead down onto Atem's shoulder and orgasmed violently, his body elated with the heat of a real dick inside his hole, finally…finally, and it felt good. It was too bad he couldn't clearly see the disbelief on Atem's face, but that didn't matter. He'd gotten what he wanted, and Atem was his.
Even if Isono murdered him in his sleep, he'd finally done it on his own terms, and he didn't want to let up.
Maybe if he stayed like this, with Atem's dick forever up his ass, then all his problems would be solved. This was relaxing and enjoyable.
"My arm is…numb…" Atem breathed, still shuddering from the residual shocks of pleasure and still unable to believe what had just happened. "And it's dark. I can't see anything. Can you…move?"
"Yes I can," Kaiba replied plainly, rocking his hips down and earning a stifled, but excited gasp. Semen was drying around his rim, but his insides were hot and throbbing, aching for more. Goddammit. He was always shoving stuff up there himself, trying to reach that high point.
He wanted to be worn out, pounded until he forgot his name, not quietly straddling a shell-shocked mannequin of an Alpha who was too scared to move because another alpha was watching them from the cameras above like a pervert.
Gently easing off of Atem's dick, Kaiba winced when his hole passed over the large knot, and he swore he felt himself stretch a little too wide as he went over it, but he bore through it and rolled over, gingerly bringing two fingers down feel semen streaming out of his hole and onto the chair. Fuck.
He pulled his hand away and sniffed it tentatively, his nose stinging with the scent of blood.
Atem smelled this too and sprang to his feet, yanking his pants up and searching frantically for the remote.
"Lights. Turn them on now! You're bleeding!" Atem demanded instantly, his head spinning horribly and his dick still throbbing with arousal.
Kaiba hissed in annoyance.
It didn't even hurt.
He bled all the time here especially when he used the toys too vigorously during Heats.
It was fucking normal. Atem was freaking out about nothing and which he knew was going to cause Isono to freak out too.
Predictably, the door swung open with a bang! but Atem was faster. He already had the remote to keep the lights off.
"Stay outside!" Atem shouted, and Kaiba's blood ran cold when he heard Atem raise his voice for the first time in his presence.
Holy shit. Atem was taking this seriously.
Well, maybe sitting on his dick changed things for the better. Finally.
Isono reeled when Kaiba's sweet scent hit in him in the face the moment he opened the door, and his heart shattered into a million pieces as he stood there, drinking in Master Kaiba's scent for what he realized would be the last time.
Judging by what he'd just heard, Master Kaiba had forced himself onto the Alpha, who willingly received it, and now, Master Kaiba was bleeding.
He was bleeding… And there was nothing he could do. He had to leave it in the hands of the other Alpha, the one Master Kaiba had chosen.
The one that Master Kaiba liked.
Master Kaiba was never his to begin with.
He'd been a placeholder Alpha for the CEO until he found a man he really liked, and that man was here now.
He had to accept reality.
Shutting the door carefully, Isono stood obediently in the hallway, waiting for his next instruction and trying his best to ignore the hot tears that were streaming down his face.
This was fine.
He could stay and be the Alpha Master Kaiba used, instead of liked.
