After a few minutes, we reached the wooden house.

I swiftly dismounted Ellie, still holding onto Xyriel. He seemed to be in pain, groaning and panting heavily.

I rushed inside and gently placed him on the bed. Xyriel was beet red, I caressed his forehead and he was very hot to the touch.

As I remember, Sofia gave him a medicine of some kind, maybe that was for his heat.

Recalling this, I carefully searched through his pockets. With each gentle touch, he moaned, quivered, and emitted his pheromones.

Keeping my sanity in check, I slapped myself.

I'm used to his pheromones, but because of his heat, with every whiff, I also became excited.

Not knowing about a damn thing about my body as an alpha woman, my excitement made my clit became that of an eggplant. It honestly surprised me, but I brushed it off since Xyriel was in pain.

Luckily, Xyriel had his eyes closed, as it could have taken a disastrous turn given that I was also becoming aroused.

Alas, I finally found the medicine he kept, I opened the container and fetched a glass of water.

"Xyriel," I called out softly, gently shaking his shoulder.

I repeated my attempts three times, yet he continued to keep his eyes shut. His pheromones were getting out of hand and at this point, it's getting harder and harder to rein in my impulses and stop myself from attacking him.

Almost at my breaking point, I placed the medicine on my tongue and took a sip of water, I grabbed him gently and forced my lips on his and little by little, slid my tongue to make his mouth open. With that, he finally opened his eyes and drank the water and medicine I forced to his mouth, His red eyes gleamed as they met mine, seemingly craving for more.

As I was about to release him, he grabbed my shoulder and forcefully pinned me against the wooden wall while his tongue now roamed inside my mouth. He was excited to the point his crotch was rubbing against mine.

Sh*t, now I also want more, but I know this isn't what Xyriel wanted. I shouldn't be allowing myself to get excited about this, especially when I'm still conscious.

Get a grip self!

I attempted to pull him away using my arms, but he held onto me tightly. He released the kiss and began to gently caress my face.

"Do you not want to do it with me, Zinnia?" He questioned, panting heavily.

"Xyriel! I know this isn't what you wanted, so ple-." Unable to complete my sentence, he kissed me forcefully once more, and then buried his head on my shoulder.

"It hurts, Zinnia. I despise this sensation more than anything, and I want it to be over as soon as possible." He said huffing for more air as he unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his abs.

He held my hands and gently put my palm on his breast wanting me to stroke it. Deeply staring at me, he proceeded to unbutton my shirt revealing my bra as he lets out more of his pheromone, he wanted to seduce me to mate with him.

Is this okay? Should I do it to calm him down?

Not knowing entirely what to do, I gave in to temptation.

I kissed him again and hugged him while my hand roamed at his butt, his hole was quivering and it was wet. I gently pushed my finger inside him while my other hand roamed at his front stroking ever so gently his member.

He let out a cute moan and ended the kiss, now both of us were panting heavily while looking at each others eyes. I thrust three of my fingers inside him while simultaneously stroking his front, his body quivered and he came.

He then buried his head against my shoulder, remaining silent, and the only sound was the rhythm of our breathing. Perhaps he was feeling embarrassed and avoided making eye contact.

"Xyriel?" I whispered, giving him a gentle pat on the back.

His pheromone became more subtle, his heat calmed down after cumming once.

After a few seconds, I could feel my shoulder becoming damp, and I heard Xyriel sniffling.

"I-I'm sorry, Zinnia *Hic-. I didn't mean for any of this to happen," he cried, gripping onto my shirt.

"It was never my intention for this to happen *hic-"

Hearing him say that feels as if this isn't the first time this had happened to him.

I gently caressed his back and wrapped my arms around him.

"This isn't your fault, Xyriel. I should have been more cautious. I'm sorry."

Upon hearing my reassurance, he let out a heartrending wail. I sensed the heaviness of his heart, the sorrow within him. I held onto him, hoping my embrace could offer some comfort.

As he was crying, I tidied his pants and buttoned up his shirt while he kept his gaze down, shielding his face as tears streamed down.

Carefully, I pulled the blanket over him, hoping to provide some solace, and handed him a glass of water.

"I truly apologize, Princess Zinnia *Hic-," he cried, placing the water on the table.

"I genuinely didn't want you to witness me like this, *Hic- and I'm prepared to accept any consequences you might impose for my inability to *Hic- control myself," he continued.

Even when talking, he still didn't look at me. I felt a sense of guilt since I was the one who suggested we go outside and didn't think of the consequences.

I held his hands softly, "This isn't your fault, Xyriel. It's my own negligence and lack of awareness that led to this. I should have been more cautious, especially knowing that you could be affected." I spoke gently and embraced him.

"Stop apologizing; it was never your fault," I reassured him.

He fell silent again, his sniffling the only sound in the room. I hugged him gently once more and guided us both to lie down on the bed. Finally, he looked at me.

Even while crying, this man is still so freaking cute!

Smiling at him, I patted his back while I slowly cuddled closer to him.

"There, there, don't cry. Everything will be alright." I whispered.

"A-are you not mad at me? I did something unthinkable to you, a Princess," he said with a tinge of self-disgust.

"Why would I be angry? What transpired was beyond both our control. Even after what happened earlier, my opinion of you hasn't changed, Xyriel. I still like you and I value you as my most precious friend." I said, continuing to pat his back gently.

"Xyriel, I have personally witnessed your kindness, capability, and consideration for others. This was only an unfortunate incident, and I don't hold you responsible for it."

Xyriel remained quiet after that, but even without needing to look, I could tell he was silently crying.

I continued to caress his back until he eventually fell asleep. Taking one last look at his peaceful face, I rushed to the bathroom while making sure he does not wake up.

Damn it! I have been horny before, but this is really painful! I've been holding this in for a couple of minutes now and my thing is still hard. I don't want to say anything earlier because Xyriel was struggling. I'm sorry little thing of mine that appeared out of nowhere!

I relieved myself in the bathroom and waited for it to finally calm down before laying down once again on the bed besides Xyriel.
