Chapter Seven

LEO

"I clearly told you that I will be coming now." I sneer in annoyance.

"Sorry, sorry." Ruth enters the room with the smile that I hate the most. "I just found a sex toy to play with." He takes his seat before me, across the desk.

"Don't tell me it's a new one." I straighten up in my seat.

"Of course it is." He shrugs, "What do you think? I don't play with old toys."

"Ruth, I seriously think you should fix this rotten personality of yours." I say dejectedly. "You are a doctor."

"What does it have to do with my profession?" He says, "And other than that it has been a long while before I found myself a good toy. And this knew one has some potential in him." He smirks.

"Wait, wait." I can't believe my ears, "Did you just say 'him'?!"

"Yes." Ruth says as if there is nothing out of the ordinary.

"But, I thought you only do females!" I exclaim in surprise.

"Yes I do." He says as he puts a finger on his chin looking as if pondering over what to say next, "But you see Leo… he is too fine to ignore."

And I no longer know how to respond to this. I just look at the blond man with utter disbelief in my eyes and mouth opening and closing like a fish.

This man never fails to shock me. But poor me can't do anything about it since this blond man with crystal clear green is my only friend to mention. And I know that this is the same for him too.

This man is a womanizer. And a filthiest one over that. This man fucked every single woman in our college regardless of their appearances, departments and second genders. Truly a moron. But guess this is not entirely his fault. Because apparently every woman comes crawling to his feet even before he can open his mouth.

On the other hand I barely take any interest in that kind of stuff though I've quite the dating experience, no thanks to my grandmother. She was always pestering me about how I should find a suitable partner. So, I dated a whole bunch of random people just to keep her mouth shut. Kevin is one of them. If I am telling the truth then, I started dating him because I was bored and then I decided to keep him around a while longer because he seemed obedient. But I broke up with him anyway.

Even so, we are best buddies. We have a bond that even blood brothers don't have even though I am an omega and he is an alpha.

"So, we slept with someone." Ruth says, after a while of staring at my face with a complicated expression on his face.

"It is my husband, Ruth." I tap at his desk, "I told you about him over the call."

"Oh yes, yes. I almost forgot that you are a married man now." He shrugs. "So… we must be a good fuck right?" He leans forward as he lowers his voice and a devious smirk spreads across his beautiful face.

I purse my lips and raise a brow, "What do you think?"

"Hey, what do you think I am?" He is in disbelief, "A god or something? Do you think I can read people's mind? Let me check you first then I can tell whether he is or he is not a good fuck. Take off your clothes. This is the reason you are here anyway, right?" He gets on his feet and waits for me to strip out of my clothes.

He always sees through me doesn't he?

After a through whole body checkup Ruth says with a grim expression, "He is an incredible fuck."

"What do you think?" I ask as I fix myself, "Will he be able to give me a child?"

"What are you talking about?" He says with some disdain latched in his tone, "If he wasn't using a protection then there is a very high possibility that you would be pregnant by this time." He scribbles something in his notepad, "But I want to give you some advice on this term. Don't just hastily plan for a child when you both are just strangers. This kind of environment is not appropriate for a new born child."

"I understand."

Yes I do. More than anyone else. I understand.

"I know you do." Ruth's voice and gaze softens a little. 

"Oh there is another thing I wanted to ask you." I suddenly try to change the subject.

"Shoot." And Ruth goes along with me.

"Is my condition alright?" I ask him, not quite sure how he will react to this.

"Why do you ask?" He quirks his eyebrows. "As if this is your first time."

"Well… you see, it felt very different than the other times." I try to explain quietly.

"Hmm…" He writes some more in his pad, "I think it's because you two's pheromones are highly compatible."

"I see…" I put a hand on my chin and start to contemplate the words my best friend just said.

"You are an idiot, do you know that?" He suddenly sputters out of nowhere.

"Nobody in my life has ever said something like that to me." I snap out of my processing phase. "And where did it come from again?" I roll my eyes. "Oh, I forgot one thing!"

"Spit it out." He says boredly.

"You know tomorrow is a 'reception party', so I need you to take a look at Erwin too." I pull my phone out of my pocket, texting Kevin.

"Your husband?"

"Yep, who else?" I answer simply.

"Not gonna invite me?" He puts on a sad face and pouts.

"As if I really need to invite you." I shoot him a look, "You are gonna show up regardless."

And with this his sad face vanishes, replaced by a wide ass grin. I laugh too.

Just then a knock comes from the door of Ruth's chamber.

"President, I brought the young master." Kevin's stern voice can be heard from the other side of the door.

For some reason he is on edge lately.

"Come in." Ruth permits.

The door swings open and two delicate figures enter the room but one of them is devastatingly handsome and I am quite sure that he can even deceive the devil himself just by his appearance.

I stand up as the two approach the table, so does Ruth.

"Ruth meet my husband, Erwin and Erwin, this is my best friend Ruth." I formally introduce them.

But for some reason as soon as they look at each other their gazes turn hostile. I think I can even see sparks between them as they shake their hands.

"I am Erwin Warner, nice to meet you." Erwin smiles but this smile doesn't reach his eyes.

"I am Ruth Harlock. It's nice to meet you too." His smile doesn't reach his eyes either. "Leo, get out." He suddenly says without taking his eyes off Erwin.

"Huh?" I blurt, dumbfounded.

"Or do you want to see your husband naked this badly?" He smirks.

Blood rushes up to my face as I spit, "Fuck you." And storm out of his chamber, so does Kevin. He shuts the door behind us.

"Are all preparations ready for tomorrow?" I ask as I skim through my phone.

"Yes, president." And we fall silent.

After a few good minutes Erwin exits Ruth's chamber with a stony face.

What the fuck in the world just happened?

I enter Ruth's luxurious chamber once more.

"Everything alright?" This time I don't take a seat as Ruth is standing on his feet with his arms crossed and face changing colors like a rainbow.

"How did you manage to find someone like him?" He questions, utter disdain pours in his every word.

 "Why?" I ask, my brows creased.

"He is beautiful like a devil so be careful, Leo." He warns, his face becoming more and more grim as the time passes.

"Don't worry." I assure him as I pat his arm, "I will be fine." I give him a small smile.

He smiles back and nods.

We don't talk as we make our way to the parking area of the hospital. After Kevin starts to drive toward my manor at last Erwin opens his mouth, relieving me from this awkward silence.

"Leo," He hesitates for a bit before saying, "Can I ask you something?"

"Ask away." I say as I don't take my eyes off the screen of my phone.

"Can a friend come too at the party tomorrow?" He asks, fiddling with his fingers nervously.

"Why are you asking me this?" I put down my phone. "Invite whoever you want as long as they don't throw shits at the party."

"Alright!" Erwin beams with a smile.

He is looking even more devastating after all those skin care and haircuts.

So handsome.

But what irritated me the whole day is every single person saw him, came crawling at his feet begging for his number so I ordered Kevin to look after him but who knew they would come at me with their sharp fangs too? And that's why I had to stay in the car for the entire afternoon, doing my work. What a pain. I could've stayed at the company, if I knew this was gonna happen.

After we take out all the stuff Erwin bought with my card while we were out we disappear in my bedroom.

Erwin collapses on the bed, "Ugh, I am so tired that I can't even move a figure." He whines.

"Go take a bath before you go to sleep or you will stink of sweat." I chide as I take off my jacket and untie my tie.

"You go first." He waves at me.

"Fine. But clean up all this mess while I take my time."

"Okay, okay."

I get out of the bathroom in my pajamas to find the room all cleaned up and Erwin sitting at the corner of the bed, scrolling his phone.

"Your turn now." I say as I slip under the covers.

He hums and disappears inside the bathroom.

I fall asleep as I lay my head on the pillow.
