Chapter 51

It was the first time in my life seeing hell draped in pleasure.

I took cautious steps into the Red Room, my eyes wandering over the tools. The soft rattling of metal echoed whenever my fingers brushed against them. Many of them captured my attention, each step followed by a deliberate pause as my gaze lingered.

"Say something, sweet peach." Kai’s voice from behind me nearly startled me.

I had forgotten I wasn’t alone here, and somehow, that realization settled my heart. I’d been too wrapped in thoughts of why he’d need a place like this, and how uncomfortable it initially made me feel.

I stopped in front of the cuffs. There were varieties of them. Some crafted from leather, others forged from chains. Neither looked better than the other, yet each carried its own alluring design.

"Do you use these often?"

"It heightens the pleasure for me," he answered, and my brows lifted.

"I didn’t know you weren’t pleasured enough all this time." I hadn’t even realized my arms had folded beneath my chest until Kai stepped closer, watching me from barely an arm’s length away.

"That’s not what I meant, sweet peach," he corrected softly, closing the remaining distance between us. "If you’re willing to explore this with me, then you need to understand hard limits and soft limits."

"Soft sounds like something subtle." I shrugged sarcastically, hinting at the obvious definition.

Kai chuckled at that and nodded. "Yes, you’re right."

"Of course." I mouthed proudly, making his smile widen further.

"Soft limits, then. You’ll have safe words for when things become too much."

"What does that mean exactly? For you to stop?" I questioned.

Kai’s gaze shifted thoughtfully, as though searching for the best way to phrase his explanation.

"My peach is ripe. If you say those words, everything ends immediately. I remove every tool, stop whatever I was doing, and free you from being my submissive. It’s my personal rule."

Truly, my head felt fuzzy, glittering like a tiny star caught in the dark. Not even for a second had I imagined Kai was involved in something like this.

Down to the lighting, the entire room glowed red. Our skin reflected the same crimson radiance, highlighting the subtle danger the massive space carried. Yet another troubling thought crept into my mind, drawing a slight scowl onto my face.

Why did Kai have this place to begin with?

Yes, he’d explained it was for pleasure, but who else had he brought here? Perhaps Leo? Perhaps other Omegas he’d wanted to tame more thoroughly than they already were?

I sighed. "If I wasn’t already married to you, I’d seriously reconsider my decisions. You pretty much hid this entire thing from me."

His muscles tightened instantly, but when I turned away and focused back on the tools, I added, "Weirdly enough though, I want to try some of these things. I feel like I might actually enjoy them."

Like a breeze drifting across a shoreline, Kai visibly relaxed again and wrapped an arm around me.

"I have something else to show you."

He guided me toward what I’d initially assumed was part of the wall, only for it to reveal itself as a hidden wardrobe. The overwhelming red theme disguised many objects within the room.

"Why have you never used any of these on me before?"

"Only when I’m close to rut," he admitted, and surprise instantly etched across my face.

"What does that mean?"

"Which part?" He turned to face me while holding up some kind of outfit. It was a chest harness attached to a crimson skirt, with underwear sewn into it like a revealing thong.

Wow. He truly intended to make this an experience. Somehow, excitement bubbled inside my stomach. I’d always enjoyed challenges anyway.

"Rut."

"It’s like heat for Omegas..." His frown deepened, voice lowering slightly. "You’ve never witnessed an Alpha’s rut before, have you?"

The stillness of my expression answered him well enough, and he pressed a hard kiss against my forehead.

"I’ll be your first?"

He said it like the idea genuinely fascinated him.

Kai guided me toward the mirror beside the wardrobe, and I slowly slipped into the outfit. The straps fit perfectly across my chest, as though he’d secretly memorized my measurements. The skirt rested beautifully against my hips, while the thong cupped my balls and cock snugly, the fabric brushing dangerously close to my entrance and stirring heat through my body.

I became so absorbed in the unfamiliar image staring back at me that I hadn’t noticed Kai moving away to sit down. He lounged only a few centimeters behind me, legs spread comfortably as he watched me with unmistakable hunger burning in his eyes.

Slowly, he removed his shirt. His muscles flexed before me as I turned fully toward him. His pecs tightened, his abs hardening further while his gaze remained locked onto my body with shameless lust.

Kai unbuckled his belt, leaving only his chinos on before he finally spoke.

"This is how you and I are going to spend the next three weeks."

My eyes widened instantly. "What?"

Within seconds, he towered over me again, his massive frame swallowing mine whole while his gaze drilled into my forehead.

This wasn’t the usual Kai anymore.

"I’m about to fuck the sanity out of you, Alex. My rut lasts three weeks."

"But your coronation..." I reminded him quickly. It was only three days away. Besides that, there was no possible way my body could survive him for three straight weeks. I’d genuinely end up sore to death. Dramatic perhaps, but still.

Kai’s lips curled into a dangerous grin. "Leave that to me."

When he returned, he carried Velcro cuffs, ball gags, and spreader bars arranged neatly in his arms.

Apparently, this night was going to be a very long one.

And judging by the warmth now pooling between my thighs, my heat was already beginning to answer his rut.

His pheromones were awakening the absolute sex monster buried inside me.
