Chapter 3: Behind the Door

Xiao Chen talks Shen Yan out of the bathroom and through his first heat. Afterward Shen Yan hands him a crumpled foil strip his stepmother gave him every morning.

Xiao Chen put his palm flat on the bathroom door.

The wood was warm, and the scent coming through the gap was so sweet it made his own mouth go dry.

"Shen Yan. Talk to me."

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'll clean it." The voice was high and wet. "I don't know what's happening. I'm so hot. I feel like I'm dying."

"You're not dying."

"My whole body hurts. I'm leaking. I think I'm leaking, I'm so embarrassed, please don't come in."

Xiao Chen closed his eyes and counted to three.

"Listen to me. It is a heat. It's your first one, and it is late, and it's a normal thing that happens to omegas. It is not an illness and it is not shameful."

Silence, and a ragged breath.

"A heat?"

"Your body is getting ready to mate. It makes slick so that sex doesn't hurt, and it makes you hot and hard and desperate until the wave passes. Each wave is two or three hours. It is fever and hunger together."

"Does it go away on its own?"

"It does. It also goes away faster if somebody helps."

He heard a thump as Shen Yan's forehead hit the door.

"Who helps?"

"Whoever you want. Or nobody, if you want to wait it out alone. The choice is yours, and I will sit right here either way."

A long pause.

"I don't want to be alone," said Shen Yan in a very small voice. "I've been alone for six months."

The lock clicked.

Shen Yan was on the tiles with his back against the tub, his apron gone, his shirt stuck to his chest.

His face was flushed to the ears and his eyes were glassy.

The front of his thin trousers was dark, and the shape of his cock was clear against the cloth, hard and leaking.

He looked up at Xiao Chen with a kind of terrified hope.

Xiao Chen knelt in front of him.

He did not hurry, and he kept his hands where Shen Yan could see them.

"What do you want?"

"I don't know. I want it to stop. I want you to touch me." Shen Yan's whole body shook.

Xiao Chen laid his hand on Shen Yan's knee and felt the muscle jump.

He slid it up the inside of the thigh, slowly, until his thumb pressed the damp seam of the trousers.

Shen Yan cried out and bucked into it.

"There. That's your body telling you the truth. Hold on to me."

He opened the trousers and pulled them down, and Shen Yan's cock sprang free, flushed and thick and wet at the tip.

Slick had soaked through the cloth between his legs and ran down the inside of his thighs, clear and shining.

"I'm sorry," Shen Yan whispered.

"Stop apologizing. You smell incredible."

Xiao Chen wrapped his fingers around the cock.

It was hot and heavy in his hand.

He stroked it once, slow, from the root to the head, and Shen Yan's whole body arched off the tiles.

"Oh. Oh, it's so, it's so much."

"Good. Keep your eyes on me."

"I can't, it's too good, I'm going to, I'm going to."

"Then do it."

He stroked him faster, his thumb working the slit, his other hand pressing the inside of the thigh to hold him open.

Shen Yan came with a sobbing shout, and cum spilled across Xiao Chen's wrist and over his own stomach in thick hot streaks.

He did not go soft.

His cock stayed hard in Xiao Chen's hand, still leaking, and the slick kept pouring.

Shen Yan stared down at himself in shock.

"It's still, why is it still."

"A heat doesn't end after one. Come here."

Xiao Chen lifted him in both arms and carried him into the spare bedroom, and laid him on the clean sheets.

The scent in the room was so heavy he could taste it.

He stripped off Shen Yan's shirt and the ruined trousers, and the boy lay naked and trembling, hands over his face.

"Look at me."

Shen Yan lowered his hands.

"I'm going to use my mouth," Xiao Chen said. "You'll feel pressure and heat. Don't hold back. Make all the noise you want."

He took Shen Yan's cock into his mouth to the root.

Shen Yan screamed.

Xiao Chen sucked slowly, tongue flat against the underside, one hand pinning his hip to the mattress while the other slid lower.

His fingers found the slick between his cheeks, hot and soaked.

He circled the rim of Shen Yan's hole, and it clenched and fluttered against his fingertip.

"Xiao Chen, there, please, there."

He pushed one finger in, and the hole took it greedily, tight and wet.

Shen Yan sobbed and rocked down onto his hand.

"More. Please. More."

A second finger went in beside the first, and Xiao Chen crooked them upward until he found the swollen spot inside.

Shen Yan's thighs shook around his head.

"There it is," Xiao Chen said against his skin. "That is the one you want. Fuck my fingers."

Shen Yan did.

He rolled his hips in clumsy desperate jerks, riding two fingers while the mouth around his cock drew him deeper.

The second orgasm tore through him in a long wrecked moan.

Xiao Chen swallowed everything, and felt the fingers inside him clamp and pulse, and the slick run down his wrist.

Afterward the heat did not end.

It only slowed, and the scent in the room softened with it.

Shen Yan lay on the pillows with tears on his temples and his chest heaving, his cock half hard again, his legs still falling open.

Xiao Chen wiped his hand, pulled the blanket up, and sat on the edge of the bed, hard in his own trousers and furious with himself about it.

He was a trained lawyer. He had a long list of reasons for what he had just done and all of them were medical.

None of them explained the way he was looking at the boy's mouth.

"Xiao Chen?" Shen Yan whispered.

"Yes."

"I've never, nobody ever." He swallowed. "You're the first one to touch me."

"I know."

Shen Yan turned his face into the pillow, then rolled over and dug in the pocket of his discarded trousers.

He came back with a crushed strip of white foil, pressed it into Xiao Chen's palm, and curled the man's fingers around it.

"She gave me these every morning," he said. "She said they were vitamins."
