I touched my cheek. There should have been tear streaks dried up on my face, but my cheek was clean. I forced my creaking joints and screaming muscles to move while throwing off the blanket.
My body, dressed in fresh underwear and a nightgown, was clean. Even though there was a post-sex sensation inside, there was no feeling of any residual substance like semen.
‘And he’s got manners, too.’
After realizing he had thoroughly washed my body and even changed my clothes, I lay back down in bed.
The plush mattress gently supported my body, aching from the strenuous activity.
But I’d definitely need to lie down for a few days due to muscle pain.
I silently thought about the man. Though he was slightly older, he was handsome. In a world full of unkempt men, his handsomeness deserved to earn high praise.
Where normal men his age would have beer bellies and love handles, he had a very fit body. The sensation of my nails scratching his firm, muscular shoulders and back was thrilling.
‘He was tall, too. Almost 190 centimeters, perhaps?’
I rolled around, hugging a large pillow while reminiscing about him.
Tall, well-endowed, strong, and sexually compatible.
‘He’s definitely a good match for me. A man worthy of my time.’
He also possessed dominant pheromones as an Alpha. He was too good of a man for just a one night stand.
‘It would be nice to keep him as a FWB.’
Of course, if his clinginess starts to get on my nerves, I won’t hesitate to end our relationship, regardless of the size of his Johnson.
“YAWN...”
As my mind cleared, I slowly got hungry.
Massaging my aching limbs, I drew back the curtain. There was a set of fresh clothes and a note on the table by the window. It was only natural for him to be prepared this much since he was given the ‘privilege’ to sleep with a top-class Omega like me.
‘Taking care of things without being asked... Bonus points for you, my man.’
I yawned and read the note. His handwriting was precise and clear.
Did you sleep well? Your clothes weren’t in a state to be worn again, so I had them washed at the hotel. I bought some new clothes and a new pair of underwear from a nearby store, but I’m not sure if you’ll like them. I’ve just checked out your body and purchased clothes that appear to be your size, so if they don’t fit or you don’t like them, feel free to just throw them away.
I’ve booked the hotel for three days, so rest comfortably before you go. If your muscles ache, the spa on the second floor is decent. I’ll have taken care of the additional costs, so don’t worry about the price.
Also, I’m sorry we couldn’t use a condom last night.
That was the end of the note. I flipped it over, but there was no contact or phone numbers written on it.
‘He’ll come back, right? Surely an Alpha wouldn’t leave an Omega alone after such a night?’
I dismissed the thought casually.
Next to the note were emergency contraceptives and a pregnancy test. It was only after reading the note that I realized we hadn’t used a condom during my heat cycle. Not only was I worried about pregnancy, but the possibility of imprinting had also increased.
‘... But it was just one night, so it should be fine.’
Imprinting between an Alpha and an Omega is conditioned not only by the exchange of bodily fluids and becoming accustomed to each other’s physical presence, but the chances are also significantly influenced by their emotional connection.
There had never been a case where an Alpha and an Omega, who met for the first time, bonded after just one night.
Shaking off the vague concerns, I chose something from the room service menu. I would have dinner with him in the hotel restaurant in the evening, so a light meal would suffice for now.
...Which was a thought that turned out to be a huge mistake... That took me three full days to realize.
* * *
“So... You’re telling me that he just left like that and didn’t even get back to you for three whole days?”
My friend and roommate, Sinwoo, looked at me with a face full of disbelief.
“DAMN IT!”
I crumpled an innocent paper cup in frustration.
“I’ve never felt so insulted!”
“Quit it with the nonsense. You being all insulted over this is just like one of those B-grade soap operas I warned you about.”
How did he know I had only been watching dramas in the hotel for three days?
This guy, usually as oblivious and insensitive like a bear who doesn’t even know that one of the girls in class has a crush on him for six months, sometimes had an annoyingly sharp intuition.
“Still, this is ridiculous! How could he just stand me up like that? I waited for that bastard for three days! THREE WHOLE DAYS!”
“There was nothing in the note about him coming back.”
“Even if he didn’t say so, he should have come back! Do you think just any Alpha can sleep with a superior Omega like me?”
“Dude, lower your voice.”
Sinwoo, who had been listening nonchalantly, gasped. I had gotten too excited and forgotten we were at school.
Although it was just the two of us in the lounge, other students could come in at any time.
Yet, my irritation didn’t subside. I started speaking again, more agitatedly.
“Put yourself in my shoes. Would you disappear without leaving a contact after having such incredible sex with an Omega that stoked your libido?”
“I’m a beta.”
“Anyway!”
As I continued to rant, Sinwoo finally pretended to ponder.
“If I replace the Omega part with a hot blonde girl that I have a crush on... I’d be too sad to leave without giving her my contact information or coming back to see her again.”
“That’s the normal reaction!”
