Chapter 26 - unforeseen attack

Andrew closed his bedroom door behind and leaned his body against the door, taking deep breaths whilst softly beating a fist against his racing heart, he tried to clam his trembling body. He hated when Michael would tease him, so cruelly.

"That asshole is always playing with me, you wait Michael sooner or later I'll make you eat your words" he grumbled to himself.

Andrew has always been in love with Michael from a very young age. However, Michael has always treated him like a little brother or messing with him like he just did, not to mention his overly promiscuous behaviour. Andrew thought it best he didn't let his feelings be known and would always act stubborn and defensive around Michael.

Suddenly there was a knocked at his door, calming himself and asked "who's it?"

"Master, it's the butler your brother and master Michael his having lunch and have asked for you to join them"

"Okay... I'll be there in a minute" Andrew replied and quickly went to change his clothes and refresh up, before going down to have lunch with Dominic and Michael.

Dominic and Michael were already seated and as always Michael was being his troublesome self. However, the moment Andrew walked into the dinning room, Michael eyes were glued to him, unable to move his gaze.

Normally Andrew's dress is one of a suit attire or simply cute and fashionable. However, over the past few years he has somewhat been stalking Michael and seeing what type of partners he likes to date, more importantly how they dressed, he hoped to changed his style to what he thought Michael would prefer.

Michael was a little taken aback with this new look, as he loved the old Andrew, just the way he was, not that Andrew didn't look stunning in whatever he wore. With Andrew's light baby blue eyes, topped with his silver hair and cherry lips, and his slender soft curved body, it was more than enough for Michael to have repeated wet dreams.

Michael softly spoke while looking over at Andrew with a slightly somber expression "darling, you look different"

Dominic who was never one to mince is words said coldly, "He looks like one of those idiots you're always dating"

Michael and Andrew, look awkwardly at each other, as Andrew sat opposite them.

"Ahem... so brother how was your business trip" Andrew asked trying to quickly change the subject, and the now awkwardness at the dinner table.

Looking at his brother, he was a little startled at how much he had changed. Dominic appeared different from the last time he had seen him. "Has it been that long since I've seen him. He looks like he's been working out a lot, but why are his pheromones so strong, something is definitely off about him" Andrew thought to himself.

"It...was fine" Dominic said with great difficultly, the thought of the mission began to trigger a negative reaction in Dominic, he also sensed his pheromones beginning to emanate, which made him panic that he may hurt Andrew.

"That's good, oh by the way before I forget, I did as you asked and selected the new assistant chef, I left his information on your desk in your office for you to review. HR will confirm with you a suitable time for you to have a one to one meeting with him, and don't you dare be mean to him, I like him" he informed Dominic with a little smile on his face.

"What did you just say, who do you like?" Michael asked in a low, and angry tone, staring daggers at Andrew and releasing his pheromones in a defensive manner.

Andrew was a little taking aback, but seeing Michael like this was making his heart do somersaults, Michael was jealous! This was his chance for a little sweet revenge, though it won't last long, but at least he can get Michael back for all the times he's made him feel heartbroken. With a devious smile, he happily responded.

"I said I like him, he seems so different from most guys, he even gave me a big hug when I offered him the job"

"HE DID WHAT!" Michael roared, slamming his hands on the table and jumping from his seat. His pheromones emanating dangerously around the room, affecting the workers and Andrew.

Unbeknown to everyone, but Michael's pheromones were affecting Dominic physically. Dominic felt a sharp pain rose to his head and the pupil of his eyes began to turned blood-red. To counter-defence against Michael's unintentional pheromone attack, Dominic's body had released a lethal dose as well, causing him to collapse.

Dominic's sudden release of his pheromones was so potent that it rendered all within the Lanxian mansion temporarily paralysed.

Michael was the first to recover, staggering to his feet and quickly going to Andrew's aide. Andrew, who was curled up on the floor and slightly weeping, holding his body in pain, was too much for Michael to bear. "Andrew are you okay" he asked panicking, with trembling hands he gently wiped the tears from his eyes, fear filling his body, "I am going to call an ambulance, just hold on" his shaking voice reassured Andrew.

"Shit! Where's my phone" he desperately searched his pockets to no avail, he then decided to use the mansion's phone on the other end of the room. However, has he got up to move, Andrew's shaking hand grabbed hold of him, not wanting him to go. Nestling his head into Michael's body, he used his scent to sooth his aching body.

"Dom..... Dominic? Is Dominic okay?" Andrew weakly asked.

"He's fine, don't worry.... where's your phone, I need to call an ambulance?" Michael replied, looking over at Dominic who laid unconscious on the floor, to ensure he was still breathing.

"Check my pocket, my phones there"

After calling for help, Michael got the unconscious Dominic and carried him to his room, he then made a separate call to Dr. Cheng, before returning to his beloved Andrew.
