Chereads / My Dear Duke(BL) / Chapter 23 - Heat

Chapter 23 - Heat

"Bill, call Asher here. I have something to talk about with him."

"Okay, duke."

Not soon after, Asher stood up with Bill in front of the duke, early in the morning.

After Bill was sent away and the door of the room was closed, Asher was asked to sit down. The duke seriously started their discussion.

"Mm...I am sorry about yesterday touching you inappropriately."

Asher was taken aback for a minute and stared at the duke's face.

That face doesn't look like it was apologising though. Yet, him even saying sorry was something Asher never expected. So he was a little impressed just with that word.

The duke originally did not show any emotion so Asher didn't care anymore.

"It's okay, duke. I was also lost for a while."

It was a little awkward for a few minutes as the duke maintained silence and didn't respond.

Asher also silently wanted and didn't break the silence since he had nothing going on his mind at that moment. Recalling the last night and remembering his moans, Asher blushed and was embarrassed.

"Asher, it's not that I want to infer your private life. But do you know what medicine you took by mistake?"

After all these days and moments he spent with the duke, Asher finally felt the difference in his tone. He sounded calm, but not as cold as before.

'Now that's a suitable tone to ask for something. But… I didn't take any medicine...'

Regretting his sudden lie that had aroused questions in the duke's mind, Asher could only lie again.

But this time he got creative. And this lie might help him hide his omega identity too.

'I know I am a genius.'

He was simply going to tell the truth. But a little twisted...

"I am sorry to disappoint you, Duke. I really don't know anything about that. My mother once told me that I accidently got the wrong medicine. You see...I am a lot like someone from that cursed race now. Even those people who caught me thought I was one of them...What did they call them? Mmm...Ah! An omega! Yeah... See! I have got a mole in my eye too. My mother said that this mole appeared two days after the accident. My body changed a lot. This scent, ah...that abnormal, cough! I mean what happened last night..."

Even though Asher was not confident, he knew this would help him save himself from getting labelled as a real omega. Because of the wrong medicine, he turned into an omega! Wasn't that idea pretty brilliant?!

Asher didn't know if that scent thing and getting wet from behind was related to him being an omega. He knew…but wasn't very sure. But, since it was definitely not how normal men would feel, he considered those things as specialties of an omega.

"Omegas? I thought no omegas existed now."

"Haha...But some people don't seem to believe the same. Those men who sold me thought I was an omega. When they realised I was not an omega, they just cursed at me and put me for sale the very next day."

"You are an omega?"

"I am not! My parents are also normal people. After that medicine, this trouble started."

"I have heard omegas can release their pheromones with their own unique scent to seduce and arouse others' desires. So weren't you also doing the same?"

"Duke, I didn't try to seduce anyone. I have never encountered such a situation before. I never knew my scent could affect you that much. I had never felt my scent so strong. It happened when you got very close."

'So it's your fault, idiot!!!'

"Thinking back, you really are a lot like an omega. Why didn't I think about that before?"

The duke questioned himself. He knew about omegas, but he treated that race as a ruined family line. He thought no omega existed anymore. But now thinking back, eye mole, that body reactions similar to women's, seducing scent...Asher was a lot like an omega he had read about in books.

But he didn't catch it at that moment as he only thought Asher was special and he was trying to provoke him on purpose.

What now then?

He still didn't trust Asher. But things slowly made sense, so...

Felix thought he was similar to an omega. Not an omega. As Asher wished.

"I have heard omegas go into heats...They get se-"

Felix suddenly stopped talking halfway when he realised that thing sounded familiar.

A heat...every month, they get the urge to mate in a certain period.

Like how he has that urge to mate every month in that certain period...

Do those omegas outside experience the same pain as him too? But...things were just complicated as Omegas were considered as women and not men. So they must be feeling like a woman took an aphrodisiac...

'Whatever! I can't worry about others.'

The duke looked at Asher pointing at another question.

"Have you ever got any heat? Since you are mostly like an omega now, let's say you are an omega. So...Have you ever gotten any heat?"

"No."

Asher was kind of annoyed that he still ended up becoming an omega in his eyes. He kind of regretted his decision at that moment. If he was similar to an omega, doesn't that still mean the same?

'No! It might not...If I am not an omega, I can't get pregnant. Yeah...An omega's specialty is getting pregnant, not just craving sex.'

He had heard about heat from his mother. But his father, Blake had not said anything about that to Rose, his mother though. Yet, she had searched through books and found out many things about omegas.

He realised those things after she died after confessing to him about his identity. 

His mother taught him about omegas. But never mentioned he was also one of them. Asher remembered even saying Omegas are really weird and it's impossible for people like that to exist when his mother once read a book about Omegas.

She had taught him those things on purpose. But he never knew that the purpose of learning those things was to make him understand his kind well.

It said they get heats every month for a certain period. That period simply meant they would lose control and try to seduce some man with a dick to stuff it inside their ass. When Rose told him those things when he was curious to explore those topics regarding sex, he remembered laughing as he didn't know she was talking about his own race at that moment.

Before she revealed the truth in her last moments, she bought those books and read them to him all the time. She said it was just for him to get to know about special people and he never knew she was telling those to him so he could use those details for himself later.

Thinking about him looking for a dick to stuff in his ass...

That imagination gave him shivers. Who would have thought he would end up like that one day? He wished he might never get any desire like that.

Asher had never got any abnormal reactions from his body until the moment he lost his mind in the duke's arms.

'Wait! Was that a heat that I encountered yesterday?! The scent got intense and he said he was seduced, didn't he? That slick flowed from my...agh, ass?! I really wanted some touches at that time too. Fuck! It was really a heat!'
