PreyCh4 - Misspent Youth

Dex looked at himself in the bathroom mirror. Running a hand down his face, he lightly slapped himself just to make sure he was awake. The steam from his shower fogged up the mirror. He was very upset that he had to shower because his body had instinctually reacted to Kloh’s pheromones. He produced so much slick to the point where his pants were soaked. He had wanted to crawl until a hole and die when his dad had pushed him towards the bathroom, promising to bring a fresh set of clothes with a knowing look.

He reached out and wiped the mirror. Once again staring intensely at himself, his eyes went down to his neckline. His glands were uncovered. His neck still retained several remnants from the other night. He reached up brushing his fingers along over the marks and the distinct nub that classified him as an omega. Abruptly the memory of Kloh’s lips pressed against that very spot choked him up. His body released slick again. He shook his head to get rid of the memory. Having to take one shower was already embarrassing. If his dad heard the shower run again he’d definitely know what happened and Dex couldn’t handle anymore embarrassment tonight. 6IpriJ

 

“Dex? Sweetie? You all done?” Lane’s soft voice came from the other side of the door.

“Yeah.” He called back and turned off the sink tap. uRqmOF

 

He pulled up a bathrobe and opened the door. He shivered as the cool air hit his damp skin. Lane sat on the bed across from the bathroom, a pile of clothes in his lap. Dex walked over to him and sat down. They were currently in the spare bedroom on the first floor. The room was filled with a bunch of things that his dad couldn’t bear to throw away. Boxes filled one side of the room completely.  Dex could see a toy airplane sticking out of a box marked ‘Beau’s Stuff’.

 

“How are you feeling?” Lane asked after a while.

au2c4F

 

“Tired. Annoyed. Extremely annoyed.” He huffed and picked at the covers.

 

Lane smiled silently. Dex kept picking at the covers, a stuffy feeling buried deep in his chest. He knew what it was but didn’t want to give a name to it. Once he acknowledged it, there’d be no way to willfully ignore it. Although his very being had all but given up he refused to fall into the hazy feeling marinating inside of him. XItq0m

 

“Have I ever told you how your father and I met?” Lane suddenly asked.

 

Dex looked over at him. Lane had a dazed smile on his face as the memory pulled to the forefront of his mind. 8Lqmh6

 

“It was my senior year of high school. Your dad, being the nerd he was and skipped a grade after he tested into the school. My brother in law, your Uncle Jamie, and my dad were saying their goodbyes after helping me move in. Your Auntie Kaye was pregnant at the time so she couldn’t come.” Lane continued speaking without waiting for a reaction. 

 

Dex slightly turned to face his father. Lane smiled wider as he continued his story. 30YKxj

 

“Anyway they were just about to get into the car when this incredibly loud noise startled us. We look over and it’s your father. He had knocked over someone’s luggage. Our eyes met and I nearly passed out from the pheromones that pushed at me. A minute later my dad was pulling me into the car absolutely terrified and Uncle Jamie was restraining your father. Can you imagine that? Your father pressed against the side of a car with Uncle Jamie holding onto him for dear life.” Lane laughed.

Dex laughed a bit at the thought. He couldn’t imagine his hulking alpha of a father being held down by anyone. Lane looked at him with a grin. 08kVzu

 

“What you need to know is that at the time your dad wasn’t like he is now. He didn’t have an ounce of muscle on him. Uncle Jamie very easily held him down. It was incredibly funny. My dad peeled out of the parking lot like his life depended on it.” He laughed loudly and Dex couldn’t help but chuckle alongside him.

 

After a moment he collected himself and sighed contentedly.  4BdwFn

 

“The next day he showed up in front of the dorm heavily drugged, a cast on one arm and a bouquet of flowers in the other,” Lane grinned as the memory of a young Dahlen flashed before his eyes.

 

“He apologized profusely and then insisted on getting my name and number. He refused to leave otherwise. And I couldn’t have a crazy alpha standing outside my room so I scribbled my name and number on his hideous pink cast.”  Vd0KMe

 

“What happened after?” Dex couldn’t help but ask.

 

“I went back to the hospital triumphantly. I had gotten the name and number of the beautiful omega that stole my heart.” Dahlen finished as he walked into the room with a foolish grin. TRsBav

 

Lane rolled his eyes.

 

“He was dragged out and sent back to the hospital by his father who had chased after him. He didn’t even get to use the number he swindled from me till a week later.”  tTwaV

 

Dahlen laughed and walked over to the two.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

 

“I was on a 24 hour watch by my parents. They were afraid I was gonna go and kidnap the poor omega that I almost jumped on and hide him away.” He grinned at Dex, who laughed, then winked at his husband. SLBje1

 

“The whole experience was extremely embarrassing and oddly enough one of the most romantic moments of my life.” Lane softly smiled.

 

Dahlen stood in front of him and pressed a kiss to the top of his head. They both could smile and laugh at the memory now. But in the moment they were also absolutely terrified. Dahlen couldn’t imagine someone having the power to completely undo him with a single smile. And for Lane, he never thought he’d meet someone who made him want to be surrounded by only them alone.  EDGcxB

 

“The pull of a bonded couple was intoxicating and terrifying. Most people go their whole life without meeting the person made for them.” Dahlen whispered against Lane’s head.

 

Dex smiled but he didn’t feel it. He could tell why his dad decided to tell this story. A bond was something that every omega dreamed of. Seeing their alpha and instantly falling in love. He himself had once imagined being in that fairytale life. But the reality of it was much scarier than he imagined. aVF4Sc

 

“Thankfully your father had decent control over his pheromones. Otherwise there would’ve been no way my dad would’ve allowed me to see you again. That mixed with the help of some mild sedatives we were able to be around each other and not get completely lost in the attraction.” Lane added on.

He looked at his firstborn omega child. Dex was listening quietly, staring intently at his hands. He reached out and tucked a dangling lock of hair behind Dex’s ear. Pxg7G3

“I don’t want to ignore it…..” He paused and watched their expressions. When they stayed the same he continued, “But I don’t want it to take over my life. I like where I am now.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

 

Lane nodded. He could understand that. Dex had always been a very independent child. He liked his space. Lane could imagine how the thought of his life being shaking up due to some cosmic coincidence would be very off putting. e9FuU4

 

“Of course you won’t change your life. If Kloh has any respect for you, he’ll do what I did and learn to control himself. There’s no need for you to change your life because he imprinted on you.” Dahlen agreed. 

 

Dex exhaled shakily. He was glad his parents understood him. Luckily they’d also been through this experience. He took a deep breath and nodded to himself. He could accept this bond. Kloh seemed decent enough. With a little work he could be Dex’s alpha. Even though technically he already was. c3L50g

 

“Okay, nice that that is settled, I’m gonna talk some sense into that kid. How dare he imprint on my son in the middle of dinner. No manners.” Dahlen scoffed loudly and stood up.

 

Lane and Dex laughed at him. Dahlen grinned at them. They knew there was no way to predict, let alone stop an imprint from happening. Once it happened, it was forever. But the teasing lightened up the serious atmosphere and Dex finally felt himself relax. He looked over at the door. Glancing in the direction of the kitchen where Beau was still keeping watch over Kloh with a hovering and worried Lee. 1dBZ8b

 

“Everything will be fine.” He muttered to himself.

 

Hopefully he could make himself believe it. i0fPOL

 

~~~

 

Kloh had been hiding in the guest house for three days before Dex broke in. Kloh sat up in surprise as the door clicked open and Dex walked into the room he was currently occupying.  sUJ 7Y

 

“How…. How did you get in?” He stuttered.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

 

Dex held up a lock pick and grinned before replying, pYz4C7

 

“Misspent youth.”

 

He then walked into the room like it was his own and sat on the couch to the side. He sunk into the couch comfortably as if he wasn’t alone in a room with an unstable alpha. Clearing his throat, Kloh rolled out of bed and stood up. Dex watched him silently as he moved across the room. He could feel Kloh’s eyes on him as Kloh exited the room. A moment later he came back with a small tray. On it were cookies that Lee had dropped off, two bottles of water and a glass of milk. Dex watched, slightly amused as Kloh attempted to play host. Kloh set the tray down in front of Dex, trying his very best not to scent him. He grabbed a water bottle and shuffled back, putting as much distance between them as his heart would allow. Dex looked at the tray then at him with an arched brow.  rkoyH

 

“Cookies and milk?” Dex asked with a smile.

 

Kloh blushed and looked away from the smiling man. He took a couple of breaths, doing the breathing exercises that he had found online. He could control himself. He will control himself in order to make Dex feel comfortable and safe around him. Driven by that instinct alone, he managed to collect himself. bqKm56

 

“It was all I could find. I’m not sure what you like, so I matched your taste with Lee’s. If you don’t like it I’ll take it away. I can go get you something else instead” He said, nervously. 

 

Dex watched him, completely fascinated with Kloh’s behavior. Most alphas he knew were arrogant and so sure of themselves. Kloh on the other hand was fidgeting around, unsure of whether or not to take away the tray. As he made up his mind to take it back outside, Dex reached out and grabbed a cookie. Kloh paused, watching as he ate it and occasionally took a sip of milk. a Qymg

 

Kloh never thought watching someone eat would make him so happy. His omega had eaten what he gave him. And seemed to be enjoying it.

 

“The cookies are good. Did you make them?” Dex asked between bites. NWPRMH

 

He had originally eaten in order to appease Kloh’s nerves but the cookies were actually really tasty.

“Oh no no. Lee brought them over. It’s from a bakery by school. They make really good homemade treats. If you like them, I’ll buy you some next time I stop by there.” Kloh hastily said. rjiB14

 

Dex paused then nodded.

 

“Okay. I’ll be looking forward to receiving them then.” He said with a smile. cZXpgj

 

Once again Kloh’s heart raced. Turning around he went over to the bedside drawer and pulled out a pill bottle. Taking out one pill he dry swallowed it before coughing harshly. He took a sip of the water in his hand. He closed his eyes and let the sedative take its effect. His racing heart had slowed down and he no longer to felt the strong need to fill the room with his pheromones so that Dex was completely surrounded by it. Dex observed this all happen carefully. In his heart Kloh had really gained brownie points for serving him and now he got even more for being able to control his urges for Dex’s sake. From what his father had explained to him, the pull of the bond on an alpha, while not less inferior on the omega side, was incredibly strong. Even Dahlen, an alpha who had spent most of life in control of himself, slipped up often. He couldn’t imagine what an inexperienced alpha like Kloh was going through. He was grateful for Kloh’s determination.

 

“Thank you. I know it must be hard to sit with me for too long.” Dex whispered. XPzR6N

 

Kloh shook his head, profusely disagreeing with Dex.

 

“No way! I’m glad to have you here.”  cBvW6Q

 

Dex chuckled. Kloh was too cute. He didn’t give off the vibe of an alpha. He felt more like a close omega friend rather than the strange unknown alpha he was. That only made Dex feel more comfortable around him. Earlier, he had harassed Beau till he explained the whole situation with Kloh’s secondary gender so he wasn’t too surprised at the comfortable feeling Kloh gave off. Other than being biologically an alpha, in no other regard did he present himself as one. And Dex liked that.

 

“Right, I haven’t had the chance to apologize to you.” Kloh suddenly remembered. KgPATI

 

“Apologize? For what?” Dex raised a brow.

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

 

“For uhm… ahem…for assaulting you. I’m sorry what I did was unforgivable and I completely understand if you hate me.” Kloh squeezed his eyes shut at the end, bracing himself for the anger and curses. kaEsxi

 

Please don’t hate me. Please don’t hate me, he chanted in his heart. 

 

“Assault? Kloh, if you’re referring to the night you were drugged then don’t even think like that. You were a victim of someone’s corrupt mind. I can’t fault you for that. Also you controlled yourself when it mattered.” Dex slowly explained to him, then he hesitated before adding, “Plus it’s not like I hated it. It was quite nice.” 09sKn5

 

He felt his skin warm up as he blushed. Kloh’s eyes popped open and his breathing got heavy. He didn’t hate it? The images of that night flashed into his head for a brief moment. Dex liked it? Kloh licked his lips and was instantly grateful he had taken a pill earlier. He didn’t think he’d be able to control himself without hearing those words.

 

“You liked it?” Kloh slowly asked. PsINmM

 

Dex cleared his throat and looked away from Kloh’s gaze. Then he nodded quickly. A stupid grin broke out on Kloh’s as what he could only describe as an alpha pride filled him up. His omega liked being intimate with him. If that didn’t stroke his ego, he didn’t know what else could.

 

“What part did you like?” Kloh asked before he could stop himself. zBWEy5

 

Eyes wide, he slapped his hand over his mouth. 

 

“I’m sorry, you don’t have to answer that. I….” FxpPIl

 

“You have soft hands. They felt nice on me.” Dex replied before he could catch himself.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

 

He felt almost compelled to answer. The need to satisfy his alpha swelled up in him. He felt his heart rate pick up slightly and realized that he was releasing a bit more pheromones than normal. Kloh froze. His throat suddenly dried. He downed his water bottle then stepped forward to reach for Dex’s. Then downed that as well. After hydrating and taking several long and deep breaths, he calmed down. The sensual energy in the room died but was still just barely there. Dex cleared his throat again and coughed, a bit embarrassed. This wasn’t what he came for. He came for important matters. He shook his head free of the filthy thoughts that had started to hold up and sat up straight. pvwEM6

 

“Right okay. Let’s just say I accept your apology.”

 

“And for the imprinti….” Kloh started to say but Dex waved it off. 4zyYDq

 

“For the imprinting, neither of us had control over that. I’m sure if you weren’t drugged up that night, it would’ve happened then. Let’s just be grateful that it happened where you could be restrained before something more permanent could happen.”

 

Kloh nodded. Honestly, he’d agree to anything Dex said right now. As long as the man didn’t hate him, everything he said would be accepted without argument. lRUtXm

 

“Anyway, the reason I came here was to say that….ahem…. If you were willing to try to make this”, he gestured between the two of them, “work then I’d be willing to go along with it.”

 

Kloh stilled then nodded. His head was almost flying off his body.  opRVQ6

 

“I know this is absolutely ridiculous. Frankly we’ve only known each other like less than a week. And most of the time you were heavily sedated or hiding away. But I would be stupid to ignore this cosmic consequence. I’m not even sure I would be able to anyway. Not without hurting you or myself. So I came to the rational decision to at least try and see what happens. Not to fall in head first though. But I am willing to get to know you. If that’s cool with you?” Dex continued, speaking all at once.

 

“Yes. Yes of course I want this to work. My grandmother always told me that a bonded pair are people that are meant to be together no matter what and to give up on such a natural and pure thing would be devastating.” Kloh hurriedly agreed before Dex could change his mind. tqBS5c

 

Dex laughed. A shiver ran down Kloh’s spine. God, everything about Dex set him on fire. He dry swallowed.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

 

“Your grandmother is a wise woman. Yes, it would be devastating to throw away something that is fated. Glad we’re on the same page.” Dex grinned at him then stood. t CeRG

 

“And you’re okay with my…. Uhm… my situation?” Kloh suddenly asked.

 

Dex paused. He gave Kloh a look over. In fact he was quite interested in Kloh’s situation. It really didn’t play apart in his decision. But at the same time he was curious to see how Kloh would change. Lee always talked about his omega best friend. As far as Dex could tell Kloh was exactly the same as those descriptions. Plus he was comfortable to be around and not domineering like usual alphas. Maybe because he still carried the mindset of an omega. Dex was curious to see if that would change. HR3r4V

 

“Yeah. If anything it’s beneficial to me. You know more than most alphas what I have to lose as an omega in this kind of relationship.  So I’m sure you’ll be the perfect gentleman while we figure this out.” Dex replied.

 

Kloh nodded in agreement. He did understand. It was something he spent years worrying about himself. To fully allow someone, some alpha, to possess you in the most intimate way was terrifying. Plus you’re giving away such a big part of yourself, it wasn’t an easy decision to come to. Even if you were ‘fated’ to be together. Kloh made a promise to himself that he wouldn’t hinder Dex or his decision to end or follow through with the relationship. Granted that was easier said than done. But currently Kloh didn’t quite realize how deep an alpha’s need to claim ran. He’d find out in due time though. iT6QyE

 

Dex dusted himself and headed to the door. Kloh followed behind him. Like that they walked out the room and down the stairs until Dex stood in the house entrance.

 

“Next time don’t come alone.” Kloh told him as they stood in the doorway. a5rwd

 

Dex bristled and for some reason hurt spiked through him. Which was quite surprising? Why would he be hurt? A thought suddenly flashed in his mind. Did Kloh not want to be alone with him? He was sure they had a nice time today. Had he done something wrong?

 

“Oh.” Dex replied, unable to keep the hurt out of his voice, which in turn made him frustrated. UFv3Wk

 

He wasn’t really upset, right? He frowned. His emotions were already becoming erratic and irrational. How annoying, Dex thought. Kloh took a second before realizing how the words he said sounded.

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

 

“Oh no. I didn’t mean it like that. What I mean is you should bring someone for safety reasons. Today I only managed to control myself by sheer power of will. And I don’t think I can do it again because every single time you do something simple like looking at me, I want to jump you.” Kloh quickly explained as he strode forward till he was standing in front of Dex. syAi6S

 

The alpha part of him that he was trying to control slipped past his defenses wanting to placate Dex and reassure him. He leaned into his instincts and reached up, cupping Dex’s face. He tilted the downcast head up a bit and pressed forward, placing a soft kiss onto Dex’s lips. He cursed himself. Those lips were just as sweet as he remembered. Maybe even sweeter. Kloh kissed his omega lightly. Not his, fuck!

 

Their lips slid against each other softly. Kloh nipped at Dex’s bottom lip before sliding his tongue across it. He kept going, the kiss getting intense for several more seconds before he pulled back when he felt himself start slipping. Dex’s face was flushed, his freckles pronounced as they were before on that night. His beautiful brown eyes were watery. He looked delicious. Kloh licked his own lips then leaned forward and licked Dex’s lips. He hummed softly as he did it again, relishing in the taste of Dex. Vaguely he could smell Dex’s pheromones growing heavier. He smirked, the same pride from earlier swelling in him. His omega wanted him.  a5A73x

 

“It’s not that I don’t want to be alone with you. It’s that I won’t be able to hold myself back if I’m alone with you. And your father already wants to kill me, I can’t have your dad hate me as well.” He muttered and pressed his lips against Dex’s wet lips.

 

“Oh. Okay.” Dex softly replied, his mind a little hazy from the kiss. 7U9Ns8

 

He didn’t know where or with whom Kloh learned to kiss. But he couldn’t help but be grateful. Just a kiss from him alone could muddle his thoughts and have him ready to bend over to let Kloh claim him. He flushed at the thought and took a deep breath, grateful that the medication blocked Kloh’s pheromone release. Otherwise he’d be melting into a puddle right now just from a whiff of the deep musky scent that surrounded him just a couple of nights ago.

 

“I’ll bring Lee with me next.” Dex mumbled and tugged at Kloh’s sleeves.  JTQqPh

 

“Lee has the strength of a newborn, bring Beau or a beta worker. No alphas though. I don’t think I’m quite ready to handle the thought of you surrounded by other alphas.” Kloh replied, swiping a thumb across Dex’s bottom lip.

 

“Beau is an alpha.” vb37VF

 

“Beau is your brother and has no intentions toward you other than making sure you’re safe. I can’t say the same for other alphas.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

 

“And what about you? What are your intentions towards me?” Dex whispered so softly that Kloh almost didn’t hear. Jyhk2A

 

Kloh grinned as a stroke of lust ran through him. He scanned Dex’s face before pressing a hard kiss against the man’s lips. A groan escaped Dex as Kloh’s tongue worked it’s way into his mouth and he was kissed to the point of breathlessness. A small dollop of slick escaped him.

 

“My intentions towards you are nothing but pure.” He replied then licked Dex’s lips a final time before stepping back, further into the house. GnmE1T

 

He looked at Dex’s with bright eyes and said,

 

“Go now before I convince myself to make you stay.” DF4H3m

 

Dex’s pupils dilated and for a second he was tempted to walk back into the building. But he knew he couldn’t. He let out a shaky breath and turned away from Kloh. He adjusted his breathing then hurriedly walked before he changed his mind and went with option two.

 

“I’ll call you later.” Kloh yelled out after him. 6INC4O

 

“I never gave you my number.” He yelled back without stopping or turning around.

 

Kloh grinned at Dex’s determined shuffle. XmPIZD

 

“I’ll get it from Lee.” He replied.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

 

Dex paused then huffed. rgQ0Ol

 

“Fine. You can call but that doesn’t mean I’ll pick up.”

 

He then scurried into the backdoor of the main house. Closing the door with a bang behind. They both knew he’d pick up. Because hearing the other’s voice was something they both enjoyed. Di4VOp

  1. Without his two awesome dads offering to back whatever he decides, maybe Dex would have felt pressured and run away instead of sneaking in for cookies and kisses 😊

  2. How old are both? And can you tell me their heights please, probably you mentioned it but I can’t remember… Thanks for the story, it’s really good 😊👍
