When the sensation reached his chest, his heart gave a loud thud. It was as if it had been jolted awake. That seemed to trigger something. His pulse began racing, drumming forcefully in his chest. His pores opened wide, and sweat burst from his skin.
(What… What’s happening to me?)
Kouki was bewildered by the changes in his body. Then he noticed that Amane was also reacting to something.
Amane’s sharp eyes were open wide, his fair skin flushed red, and sweat beaded on his forehead. He was panting as he stared intently at the arm Kouki was gripping.
(…Is it the same?)
Was Amane experiencing the same tingling, sweating, and heat? Were they both feeling the same thing?
(Why?)
Why did touching Amane cause electricity to course through him, heat to build, and his heart to race?
He’d never reacted like this when touching anyone else before.
So why was it only with Amane? What was different about him compared to other people?
As Kouki puzzled over the strange phenomenon, he became aware of yet another change happening within himself. The heat that had been coursing through his body had now gathered in his lower abdomen.
He could feel the concentrated heat pressing down, a familiar sensation as it began to rise in his crotch. It was a perfectly natural physiological response that any man would recognize.
But this was definitely not the time for it to happen.
Anger swelled within him, clouding his vision, as he couldn’t believe what his body was doing. Sure, he had intentionally kept away from any such situations recently. But still…
Calm down. Settle down.
He closed his eyes and repeated it many times.
But no matter how sternly the master in Kouki’s head commanded, his body wouldn’t listen. In fact, it was going against his will completely. It was heating up by the minute and his pants were already feeling tight in the front. It felt like some unimaginable trouble had occurred in his brain, with the synapses shorting out and him losing control.
But who was this reaction directed towards in the first place?
If he goes back to the basics, the only one he has his hands on is Amane.
He felt his mind going blank, unable to accept this unacceptable fact.
No matter how perfect his looks are, Amane is a man. Moreover, he’s his senior at work, his partner.
Lusting after such a person is unthinkable. No, it must not happen.
He has to do something before it’s too late―――
Feeling the cold sweat trickling down the back of his neck, Kouki slowly opened his eyes, as he felt a strong gaze on his forehead. Tracing the gaze, his eyes met the black irises.
The almond-shaped eyes that were previously wide with shock were now wet and glistening. Deep within the transparent membrane-covered eyeballs, a flickering red flame was wavering.
Mesmerised by the wet, glistening eyes, Kouki soon realised the nature of that flickering flame. He held his breath.
(Is he… in heat?)
Amane in his field of vision furrowed his eyebrows in apparent discomfort. He narrowed his eyes slightly, then began to pant heavily. The sweating had clearly worsened compared to before.
His neck was drenched in sweat, and the arm Kouki was holding felt abnormally hot.
“Honjou-san?”
There was no response. Amane bit his lip, his chest heaving rapidly. Seeing this unusual state, a disturbing suspicion suddenly crossed Kouki’s mind.
It was similar to something he had seen once before, in his childhood.
(No way… could it be?)
No, that couldn’t be possible. It just couldn’t be.
“St… op…”
Amane squeezed out the hoarse voice, as if mustering his last bit of strength, and pushed Kouki’s hand away. His unsupported body collapsed onto the rug.
“Haa… haa…”
Lying face down on the rug, Amane dug his nails into it as he panted heavily. Seeing this, Kouki lifted himself from the sofa.
“Honjou-san!”
“Don’t… come near me.”
The feeble voice was clearly unlike his usual self. It was clear this was not a situation he could simply leave alone. So Kouki disobeyed the order and stood up from the sofa, kneeling on the rug.
“Are you alright?”
The moment Kouki grabbed Amane’s shoulder, he was struck by a second shock. An electric current shot up from his palm, coursing through his entire body.
“Ugh!”
“Ah, ugh…” Amane arched his back dramatically. Tilting his head back, he let out a sultry voice, “Ah, ah, ah.”
The sight of his exposed fair throat and the voice like a seductive moan acted as a trigger, striking Kouki’s lower abdomen with a heavy blow.
(This is dangerous. I’ve crossed the point of no return.)
In that instant, he felt a surge of lustful flames rising from every part of his body.
His parched throat stung, and he was overcome by an intense thirst.
A primal craving, akin to a starving animal seeking its prey, something he had never experienced before.
(I want it. I want it. I want it…!)
Driven by the rapidly growing desire, he yanked the man up and threw him down onto his back. A sweet, ripe fruit-like ‘scent’ wafted up from the man.
That sticky, clinging scent was pheromones.
The moment Kouki recognized it, he was already ensnared by the dense pheromones. He has no choice but to let go of the reins of his reason.

*Translator’s Note: I’m in the midst of thinking how to cut up the mature chapters later. Maybe just let it be a lengthy one so all the mature parts will be in one chapter? *Sighs* -K
