[BL] Between an Alpha and Omega

A: Pride

AN: Thank you for being so patient with me. Honestly, I had a hard time ending this chapter cause my original plan once again veered off course, and I was stuck for a while.

The hotel, as expected, was a high scale place. The kind of place with valets and staff waiting in various corners to serve their guests.

It was the kind of place Jun Yibai was never comfortable with.

He had the self esteem to not be intimidated but he never liked the attention he got once he entered. He was a regular man, so his clothes were nice enough for everyday life, but clearly not as expensive as those around him.

If not for his well worn sneakers and lack of uniform, he'd be mistaken for low level staff.

It was because of this that he initially had a hard time finding Chen Guiren.

The clerk at the desk was very professional and courteous, so they refused to reveal any information about their guests to a random person. He couldn't fault him, but Jun Yibai was not in the mood for understanding.

"Oi!" He called out, looking over his shoulder at the pair lurking a distance away. The pair had followed him quietly, not daring to even breathe too loudly. This was the man that their boss bent his head to, how could they dare act too brazenly.

Before this, the Ji trio had only seen Jun Yibai as a grumpy but ultimately harmless beta, a passing amusement. Sure, their boss seemed to like him, but how could they accept such a guy as their boss's partner? He was so mundane.

Today, however, they realized that they had just been blind. This man wasn't a pushover. No, he was just a man with a lot of patience.

And that patience had run out.

"Sir!" Zhou Zhi stepped forward, his back straight as he stared down at the beta. Even though he was taller, Zhou Zhi still felt like he was in a difficult spot. His boss had said before that this guy had a mean punch that made him falter, even now, so what could he do if struck!?

Jun Yibai pointed to the clerk wordlessly.

Zhou Zhi immediately understood, explaining the to clerk who they were and to guide them to the gym. While the professionalism was appreciated, they were all subordinates to the Chen family so making the heir wait was a detriment to them all.

Chen Guiren had already built up a sweat by the time Jun Yibai arrived. Zhou Zhi and the clerk were mindful enough to remain a distance away, sensing the tension in the air.

The alpha sat up from the mat, a fine sheen of sweat making his skin gleam under the gym lights.

The alpha had already worked up a sweat. Ballsy considering what Jun Yibai was planning.

"Is this a handicap?" He couldn't help but ask, feeling annoyed.

Just because he was a beta didn't mean he wanted to be looked down upon.

Chen Guiren blinked at him, clearly confused. "Master, don't you know me well enough to know I wouldn't try that kind of bullshit?"

"So what is all this?"

He grinned, his cheeks a bit flushed. "The call from before turned me on so much, I wanted to rush over and pin you down." He explained, his eyes glimmering with greed. "But master told me to wait, so I had to get rid of my boner somehow."
