Affair in the Red House

CHAPTER 16 : GLIMPSE OF THE PAST

"How is it?" Jeremy asked on an agent he hired to monitor Lin.

"Everything is going well, he haven't noticed anything yet since his team is currently occupied by the launching Sir." the man replied

"Nothing is unusual?"

"Nothing Sir."

"Good. Monitor him closely." he said

"Yes Sir." the man bowed and turned to leave from that wide room.

The room was only illuminated by the light from the lamp on Jeremy's table and from the natural moonlight coming from his courtyard.

His head has been aching for a while now since the night where he tasted a bit of Rein.

He took a certain pill by his drawer and threw it down on his mouth.

It was an occasional headache that occurs unexpectedly.

He then stood and walked slowly towards the place. The silent cold from the night breeze immediately touched his skin, giving a bit of relief. And by the wide courtyard there stood a tree of magnolia, with it's intoxicating scent mixing in that air, it's foliage were attractive as their green, glossy oval shaped leaves reflects in the moonlight but it's flowers was the most beautiful, it's soft and silky petals were slightly spread, it's scent blending in the air. Jeremy smelled the air, that's right.

This was his natural scent. His beloved, Plim.

His Plimthat's so pure, 'his' Plim.

He stopped at a small shallow crate, he turned his head just to visualize the familiar scene inside his mind. He imagined the water on that place, reflecting the moonlight with some koi fishes swimming around as they makes small waves on calm water. It was a pond once.

But he then saw a dry pond with no more water on it but only grasses on corners.

That's right, ages have passed and the courtyard doesn't look beautiful as it usually be.

OLD DYNASTY

"GOLDEN AGE"

The Central Land has reached its golden age as they overthrew the preceding government, waging the fate of livelihoods and the state of condition of the land despite the immense civil war, the righteous won with the ways of those excellent and benevolent leadership of several main bodies who lead the revolution and one of them was General Osprus, the warlord under the Prince who lead the revolution.

General Osprus was known to have the brightest star upon his noble birth and he never failed anyone as he grew up, he was excellent in academic, outstanding in combat trainings and a man that has unrivaled built and face, every man who knew him had always wanted to take a glimpse of his domineering figure since this general was a dominant alpha.

Every omega and females drools on his pheromones.

[Pheromones is the hormones released by the Alpha and Omegas, either accidentally or intentional since it's their sensory organs where it could affect the people around them.]

And this General was also infamous. Aside from being fierce and merciless in war, he is also fierce in bed, lusting for his desire every night and sometimes immobilizing his partners after a wild night. The general was widely known for being 'too and too much' lusty. He already wedded 44 stunning beauties from different lands and made them his concubine, but no one even dare to speak or refute against his vulgar behavior since his glory in attaining the peace which they currently experiencing now is also due to his courage and genius.

But everyone couldn't help but to frown upon hearing that this General was still a frequent visitor of the red light district. Visiting different brothels every night, tasting cherries until they couldn't emit red anymore.

Beauties who was working hard for these establishments may indeed need of money but they still feared the general, wishing silently that they couldn't be picked for his hungry nights

Until one night, someone finally broke the record of the general's taste. This someone wasn't bedded by the general in just one night but several times.

He was favored and special.

"...did you like it?" he whispered intimately on the man on his arms.

They are both naked, the quilt was the only thing that covers their body.

The man was leaning his head on the general's arm while his fair, snow white back were facing him.

The general was wrapping his arm on him as he give small kisses on his hair, his broad and stiff chest were pressing his back while whispering intimately, "I brought it from the rich land of Moorsland on the east, the merchant said it costs a city since it came from the west continent..."

The general hugged him from behind, pressing his body on the fragile body of the man under his arms. Sniffing him as his natural magnolia scents occupy his nostrils.

"...but it's too pretty, and I know you would like it."

They both stared and listened in an old classical music box in front of them where wired and exposed machinery were playing inside a luxurious looking box. The music was soothing and soft that makes anyone sleepy and get addicted to it since it's not something simple that commoner could take a look.

"Darling...tell me, do you like it? Mm?" he asked close on the man's ears his hands were roaming around his body again which made the man flinch.

His body was devastated, his hips, his waist his legs and his abdomen hurts. The pain was perturbing, keeping him awake every night adding up the fact that his body were being used on a constant manner. He could only shut his eyes close as he endure the pain everytime.

The moment the general realized that he wasn't receiving any response, his hold tightened, pointed brows squinted and grabbed the man's jaw to forcefully meet his.

The man grunted in pain as his head were lifted to face him head on.

"Why don't you answer me? Is that thing not worth on your taste?" he asked him

The man was trying adjust himself on his awkward position but he couldn't move a bit from the general's hold. "M-My Lord...."

The general became angrier as he tightened his hold on his jaw. Tears started brimming on the man's eyes.

"Do you like it or not?" he asked demanding an answer

"Urgh..." the man grunted in pain but still made out the words in forced response, "I-I like it."
