What lay ahead would be even riskier than last night. To achieve the benefits in a short period of time, some risks had to be taken. Amane didn’t think Kouki would just stand by silently and watch such dangerous negotiations unfold.

(And there’s another reason…)

This one was personal. Right now, last night’s incident was still too fresh in Amane’s mind. So he wasn’t confident he could work with Kouki without it affecting him.

Judging from the way Kouki had acted during the day, it seemed that Kouki had been able to switch between personal and professional matters with ease. It might be an alpha’s natural compartmentalization, or perhaps it was simply how their brains were wired. They couldn’t afford to dwell on past events and get stuck in them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to lead the country, government, or major corporations.

In that regard, Amane was a failure. Even though he knew it was ‘something done by a different personality, overtaken by the heat’, his body still remembered.

It remembered accepting Kouki, losing control, moaning, and him climaxing like crazy inside of him.

That was the intense pleasure that could only be experienced with one’s ‘soulmate’.

The ecstasy that made his brain buzz with electricity.

As he kept reliving the memories, his body temperature gradually began to rise. …This is bad.

Truth be told—early this morning, before dawn, he had woken up to his body aching. It seemed like the aftereffects of his resonance heat with Kouki had worn off the pill’s effectiveness sooner than expected. Although he had quickly taken another pill, the heat in his body didn’t subside immediately. And before he knew it—while tracing the memories of last night’s sex—he had ended up masturbating himself.

Using Kouki as the material for his fantasies was the worst. And yet, he hadn’t been satisfied with just handling the front. He’d ended up using his fingers in the back too, desperately trying to recreate the sensation.

Remembering the early morning when he had been lost in self-pleasure, Amane felt the heat building in his body once again. He quickly shook his head.

(Don’t think about it. Forget it!)

Once the heat was over, he wouldn’t be haunted like this anymore. He just needed to hold on until then.

As he was telling himself this, he spotted the entrance to the hotel in the distance.

(Alright, I’m here. Time for the second round.)

Re-steeling his resolve, Amane pushed open the glass door and checked his reflection. He wore a white shirt with the first button undone, a black tie loosely knotted around his neck, a black suit, and black work boots. He had changed in the restroom of the nearest train station to D-East Station.

This was the second time he had worn his only black suit. The first time was for the funeral of Odagiri, the one who had insisted he buy the suit.

He took the escalator from the second basement floor up to the ground floor. The sleek, urban design of the entrance lobby was crowded with guests and people who seemed to be there for the hotel’s restaurants. As expected from a luxury hotel, everyone was dressed in their finest, though the level of sophistication was still a step down from last night’s party. Amane couldn’t help but feel once again that last night had truly been another world.

He walked towards the lounge occupying one corner of the lobby and approached a female staff member at the reception desk, saying, “I’m meeting someone here.”

“You have an appointment? May I ask for your name, please?”

“Amane. I’m meeting with Kourogi.”

After exchanging information through her earpiece, the staff member responded, “Your companion has already arrived. Please allow me to show you to him,” and began leading the way.

They crossed the floor, which had a central rectangular pool surrounded by tastefully arranged sofa sets and box chairs. Before long, they arrived at a box seat at the far end, a semi-private space partitioned off from the rest of the lounge.

“The person you’re waiting for has arrived,” the female staff member announced.

Kourogi, who had been looking at his device, turned around.

“Good evening,” Amane greeted.

“Oh, I’ve been waiting for you,” Kourogi replied, standing up from the box seat.

Tonight, Kourogi was also dressed in an ordinary suit—though, of course, it was a high-end luxury brand. On his right wrist, a luxury watch encrusted with diamonds on the face sparkled, while a large, jewel-studded ring adorned his left middle finger. 

Even though Kourogi was an alpha who had fallen from grace, his attire made it clear he still held the status of a talent agency president. But something about his appearance felt cheap to Amane—probably because he had seen the genuine celebrity up close and knew what real top-class alphas looked like.

“Please, have a seat.”

Kourogi gestured to the space beside him as he sat down and asked Amane, who had walked around the table, “What would you like to drink?”

“I’ll have a coffee.”

“The original blend here is excellent. Alright then, one coffee for him, and I’ll have a refill as well.”

“Yes, sir,” the staff member replied and left. 

Once she was gone, Kourogi’s eyes turned back to Amane, sizing him up with the calculating gaze of a talent agency president inspecting a product.

“That dark navy tuxedo from last night gave you a real prince-like vibe. But today’s all-black look gives you a different, yet equally great, feel. Your outstanding physique means you can pull off anything,” Kourogi complimented.

“Thank you,” Amane replied, taking the seat next to Kourogi.

“You usually wear piercings, huh?”

Amane touched the earring and ear cuff on his left ear, which he had deliberately kept on.

“You don’t like it?”

“No, no. It suits you perfectly. I’d say it adds a sort of dirty, dangerous allure. You have this dangerous charm about you, like once someone’s hooked, they won’t be able to escape easily… So, you really are an omega, right?”

“……”

“Silent again, huh? Well, that mysterious vibe is part of your appeal,” Kourogi said, grinning.

At that moment, the female staff member returned, carrying their coffees on a tray. She placed them in front of each of them on the low table and politely said, “Please enjoy,” before departing.

As if he had been waiting for her to leave, Kourogi’s hand suddenly moved to Amane’s thigh.

“Since you contacted me, I take it you’re seriously considering joining my agency? With your looks, you could be a big star in less than a year,” Kourogi said confidently.

Instead of responding to the obvious sales pitch, Amane placed his hand over Kourogi’s, gently brushing his fingers along the back of the man’s hand before looking up at his tanned face with a sly gaze.

“Actually, I’m in a bit of a financial bind right now… I need to make some quick cash. Got any leads on something like that?” Amane whispered in a sultry voice, flashing a wicked smile.

Kourogi narrowed his eyes at Amane’s sudden shift in demeanour. For a moment, he seemed caught off guard by the transformation. But soon after, a sly grin spread across his face.

“…You’re a bad boy, aren’t you?”

“You don’t like bad boys?” Amane teased.

“I love them,” Kourogi responded without hesitation, leaning in closer with a sleazy smile plastered on his tanned face.

“In that case, I’ve got another proposition for you. There’s actually a drinking party tonight that’s just perfect for someone like you.”

“A drinking party? What kind?” Amane asked.

“With your looks, just drinking with some VIPs could earn you a nice bit of pocket money. And it’s all cash, paid on the spot.”

(Here it comes, a VIP drinking party.)

Amane mentally gave a thumbs-up at having caught his prey so quickly. Even though he had asked Kourogi to let him know if there were any profitable events coming up, he had expected it to take some time. The fact that it was happening tonight was better than he could have hoped for.

“So, what do you think? Are you in?” Kourogi asked.

There was no reason not to be. With a thin smile curling his lips, Amane nodded in response to Kourogi’s offer.
