Bab 16: Who Is In Heat?
When Ethan asked to peel the shrimp for Helena, he saw Helena annoyed and rolling her eyes. He could feel her resentment towards him very easily. But her response would never matter to him.
What startled him was Viona's response.
She looked at him and then looked at his plate which was not even showing the bottom of the bowl.
Before Helena could say something, Viona had already opened her mouth.
"No need. You finish your bowl completely. Don't leave anything. I will take care of this."
She sounded kind of offended. Ethan somehow understood why she was angry. But he felt it was like overestimating himself, so he shook off that idea and continued eating again.
He knew Viona wanted to feed him a lot, so he would not look that skinny anymore. But he really had no appetite. Still, he forced himself and finished his part not soon after.
When he finished eating, Helena was enjoying her shrimp and Viona had just finished peeling them.
'I should have peeled them beforehand. If so, this wouldn't have happened.'
Ethan regretted it. But he could do nothing.
Viona turned to him and smiled. Then she started peeling a few more shrimps. Ethan felt bad that she was doing so much for that omega. He felt the attention on him was totally drown away by that omega.
But he didn't feel that sad because he always believed nothing was his. He was always ready to give up and he strictly believed he must not be greedy.
"Here..."
Ethan was in a daze when suddenly three cleanly peeled shrimps fell on his empty bowl.
Those last shrimps she peeled happened to be for him. He felt a little guilty about it, no matter how he thought again.
He silently picked up a shrimp and ate it, but he could see Viona beaming, looking at him. He suddenly felt embarrassed and slowly, his cheeks turned red.
'How adorable', thought Viona.
'Wow...he is blushing.'
Mark, who was watching Ethan in secret, was blown away for a second with that flushed face. No matter how Mark looked at him, he didn't meet any of the standards he wanted from his omega. But he got attracted to him as if he was bewitched.
He looked very easy to bully. He wanted to force him and see him beg like a real omega. He was very interested and he imagined how he would look with a lewd expression if they were to have sex. His mind was lusting after Ethan when Viona didn't even suspect his both friends were up to no good.
She might have never expected that her friends were actually people like that.
"I will wash my hands."
Viona went to wash her hands after peeling the last shrimp for Ethan.
When she left the dining room, Ethan suddenly thought he should have followed her. Being left alone with those two gave him a very bad feeling.
"When did you meet her first?"
As soon as she disappeared, Mark threw a question at Ethan. He was stiff for a while, but he still answered him.
"It has not been that long. About a month before the marriage."
He didn't dare to look up at Mark because he could feel the glare from him.
"So does it feel good to get fucked by her?"
The sudden question which came out of the blue startled Ethan. And, that topic was not something he likes to talk about nor it seemed like a good question.
"Seems like it. You must be a slut that you blush just because she gave you shrimp. I am sure she must have given you more things. Haha...Did she already mark you?"
Ethan didn't like the way it was going. It was a very sensitive topic for him and a topic that always made him very uncomfortable. His hands under the table clenched as he gathered himself to keep his calm. At the same time, Mark's every word overlapped with that past where he had heard those words in that same tone.
He kept it silent and didn't show any response to him. So it provoked Mark even more.
"You don't like to talk about it? It's okay."
Mark didn't talk anymore. He focused back on the food and Viona arrived soon after.
Ethan didn't show any abnormality. So Viona couldn't notice what happened there. Actually, Ethan wanted to tell her that her friend asked such a thing. But what if she didn't believe him? They were friends for a long time after all. So why would she believe him who met recently instead of her friends she had all her faith given?
So he accepted defeat and accepted everything by himself. He didn't want Viona to know about what happened there.
After they finished eating, for dessert Viona told Ethan that it would be better to have some ice cream. So while the three were talking, Ethan went to the kitchen and started plating ice cream for them.
Meanwhile, in the living room, Helena suddenly said she would help Ethan. Viona didn't find anything wrong, so she let her go.
But not long after, Viona heard her crying.
'Here we go!'.
Mark was very excited about what Helena would be doing next. But he didn't expect it to happen that fast.
Viona and Mark quickly went to the kitchen and saw Ethan stunned and Helena crying in front of him.
"What happened?"
When Viona asked, Helena immediately ran to her and showed her dress which was stained with ice cream. And the ice cream spoon was in Ethan's hand.
"What happened?"
Viona didn't ask Helena but Ethan. He put the spoon down, looked at Helena and then at Viona hesitating a little.
"I am sorry, my hand slipped."
Ethan apologised, but he saw Helena smirking at him. He could not do anything.
If he were to tell the truth, will Viona believe it?
"She came to me, grabbed the spoon and ruined her dress by herself."
It sounded really stupid. So he just apologised which was not a new thing for him.
Since it was a mistake as Ethan said, she didn't suspect anything. Mistakes could happen by anyone.
"Okay okay, don't cry...I will give you some clothes to change into. Let's go."
Viona had no clue about what was going there. She walked to her dressing room and Helena followed her closely as Ethan left in the kitchen, not alone but with Mark.
"So you are really marked by her. So now tell me, no one is here. Does it feel to get fucked by her? Or ..do you only like women inside you?"
Mark came closer to Ethan and pulled his shirt exposing the bite mark in his neck. Then he suddenly started talking like before while walking more and more closer to Ethan, until he got trapped between the kitchen table and Mark.
However, since he was already marked, even if Mark was that close, he felt nothing. His pheromones didn't affect him. So that time he realised how valuable was marking. He wanted to get marked by Viona very soon.
"Hey! Where are you dozing off? Do you like to have sex with me? I am good at pleasing omegas. All the omegas I had slept with complimented me all the time. What do you say? You don't need to worry about Viona knowing it. I can give you more than better..."
Ethan just froze at the spot when he realised Mark's hand was running around his neck.
He tried to push him away and struggled to get away, but Mark was unsurprisingly strong.
His breaths fell on his neck and the only feeling Ethan felt was disgust.
He was so disgusted.
It was totally different from how he felt when Viona touched him.
He was struggling with his will when suddenly he paused his movements. Mark also flinched and stopped moving.
A very strong vanilla smell flowed in the air.
It was an omega's pheromones, but not normal ones. They were the pheromones that omegas release when they are in heat!
But it was not Ethan's pheromones.
Then...whose pheromones were they?
Who else's?
There was only one omega left in that house other than Ethan.
Helena!
