Katsuki's POV:

Going on dates or just grocery shopping with Shōto had a tendency to be a pain in the ass.

No matter where we went, he'd always be approached by people due to his handsome face, perfect build and the mature, sexy vibe he gave off.

Even though anyone could tell he had a mate by his scent, people still came up to him, some even trying to snatch him right in front of my eyes. I was fully aware that my scent reeked of Shōto's, but it seemed like it was awfully hard for some fucking losers to keep their paws off what belonged to me.

The worst thing about it all was that Shōto was friggin' oblivious to it. He had no fucking idea what was happening whenever some bitch went up and tried to seduce his dense ass!

Now, I found myself in yet another one of those situations.

"Aww! Is that your baby?" Some random chick in the grocery store asked Shōto as he stood holding Akatsuki in his arms.

"Yes."

The omega woman inched closer, grabbing Akatsuki's hand while blabbering about how cute she was.

"Oi! Hands off my daughter, slut! Stop trying to get into my mate's pants too while you're at it!"

The woman gasped, looking extremely offended as I approached Shōto with a leek in my hand.

"What the hell is wrong with you?! I only wanted to talk to him!"

I dryly chuckled.

"Bullshit! You want to fuck him. You can smell an omega on him already and he's carrying a bloody baby, yet you decide to go after his, wait no, my cock. It belongs to me! What a thirsty bitch you are, trying to steal another omega's mate. Disgusting."

Shōto's eyes widened in surprise as he hadn't noticed her attempt to seduce him at all, that moron.

She stood there speechless, just staring at me with her mouth agape.

"Die, asshole! He deserves a prettier and more delicate mate!" She shouted before leaving the store with quick, angry steps.

Shōto looked at me in utter confusion.

"What the hell was that..?"

I rolled my eyes, feeling the urge to slam my head into a wall as he was seriously so dumb when it came these kinds of things.

"She approached you because you're a hot ass alpha with a strong dominant scent, a handsome face and a sexy body. She wanted to screw you with other words. Just like every fucking omega on this damn planet, dumbass. It pissed me off, alright?! She even touched Aka-chan!"

Shōto didn't seem to get what I was talking about as he was unaware of the fact that he was extremely good-looking.

"There's no such thing about me. I'm nothing special. There's no way she'd want to have sex with me. You probably just see me as attractive because you're my mate."

Why wouldn't he realise it?! He dead-ass had the face and body of a celebrity or a super model, but he seriously had no idea...

"Dude... You gotta step up your game and become more self aware. This is ridiculous.."

As expected, he looked clueless.

"Do you even know that you've been rated the 'top boyfriend of the year' for three years in a row in the largest celebrity magazine in Japan..?"

He furrowed his eyebrows.

"Huh? I'm not even a celebrity, so that can't be true."

You are!

"No, no, no! Shōto, you're definitely a celebrity! Why do you think people want your autograph and to take pictures with you all the time?"

He cluelessly tilted his head as if I was crazy.

"Because I am the CEO of a big company that can provide them products of extraordinary quality, or maybe because my picture could benefit them in another sense?"

He was fucking unbelievable.

"You're so dense at times..."

Shōto grabbed my hand with his free one, a frown taking shape on his face.

He pulled me closer, his lips softly brushing over my ear. "It's fun to tease you, so why not?"

I felt how my body stared to heat up, my face turning red as that bitch had simply been messing with me all along.

"You son of a-"

He gently nibbled on my helix before walking towards the bread section with a big fat grin on his lips.

"Hey! Shōto! Who do you think you're playing, bastard?!" I yelled after him.

"You're being too loud, Katsuki. Everyone will be staring at you if you continue to yell like that."

He didn't-... When I was still in heat too.. Luckily I was on suppressants, so I wouldn't collapse, but he could've triggered it to the point of me losing my sense of reason. If I did, I'd be going after him in the store. The worst thing was that I still felt his nibble lingering.

"Asshole..."

Shōto's POV:

We were on our way home from the grocery store and Katsuki had given me an earful for pretending not to notice when people flirted with me and for almost triggering his heat in the store.

"Look! Now I can't drive because I might just lose my mind and attack you in the car if you only so much as accidentally touch me! You do realise that right, you punk?!"

I sighed as I knew he was right, but I didn't regret it nevertheless.

"Yes, yes..."

He crossed his arms with a frown on his face.

"Why didn't you tell her off... What if I wasn't nearby? Would you have let that bitch do whatever?"

I glanced over at Katsuki who without a doubt had gotten jealous.

"Of course not, silly. I was just messing with you and I could tell you were close due to your scent. I'm sorry. I won't do it again, okay?"

He took his time before he sighed in defeat.

"You better not, dumbass! How are you going to take responsibility?"

I already knew what he wanted to hear, but he was affected by the heat, so saying it out loud in the car would probably trigger his heat to the point where he'd do anything to fuck me. Normally he wouldn't ask things like that, so it was easy to tell. If Akatsuki wasn't with us, I would've driven to a rather empty place closer than home and take responsibility by fucking him in the car, but we were parents now, so he had to wait even though it was basically my fault he acted like he did.

"Let's discuss that at home, Katsuki."

Katsuki snorted, clearly not happy with my answer.

"Why?"

"Aka-chan is here too, remember?"

Katsuki's eyes widened as he realised what he was doing. He pinched his hand to snap out of it.

"Fuck.. What am I doing? Let's get home quickly before I lose it."

I knew by the look on his face that he felt guilty for following his instincts before thinking of Akatsuki, but it was my fault to begin with so there was really no need for him to be feeling bad.

"Don't worry. It's my fault, so don't think badly of yourself. I'm really sorry, I should've thought a step in advance."

Katsuki seemed to be struggling to keep his hands off me throughout the entire drive home.

Once home, I grabbed both the grocery bag and Akatsuki.

"Are you alright, babe?" I asked Katsuki who was still sitting in the car.

"Yeah. Just give me a moment. You can go inside; I'll be there in a minute."

I was a bit worried, but did as told as that was the best for him right now.

"Papa?"

Akatsuki looked at me with a puzzled expression.

"Sorry, honey. Papa is an idiot."

I kissed her forehead, closing the front door behind me.

I stepped out of my shoes and placed the grocery bag on the floor before helping Akatsuki take off her outwear.

"Papa.. Nap..."

I had noticed already in the store that Akatsuki was tired. She even fell asleep in the car, so I figured it was nap-time for her.

That was actually perfect as I had to take responsibility for triggering Katsuki's heat as well.

"Okay. Let's take a nap then."

I was quick to put her to bed, and she fell asleep in no time.

Now I only had the groceries left to deal with before I could help Katsuki.

Coming back downstairs, I spotted Katsuki putting the groceries in the fridge.

"Katsuki! You should rest!"

His cheeks were more flushed now than before I stepped out of the car.

"It's fine. I'm almost done."

I approached him, but was careful not to touch him even though I really wanted to.

"I'll help you."

"No! Just.. stay there and don't move until I give you the thumbs up, okay?"

I forced a nod and crossed my arms over my chest as I observed him.

"Stop staring.. Your scent is growing stronger when you get turned on."

"That's because yours does as well. I can't really control it you know."

He sighed. "You're not even trying to control it because Aka-chan is asleep."

That was true, but his suppressant was running out and his scent was growing stronger and stronger by the second.

"I'm done now. You can touch me."

I didn't waste any time; I simply hurried over to him, gently grabbing him by the throat with one hand. It was not in a violent manner, but in a desperate, sexual one.

"Why so gentle?" Katsuki asked with a playful glint in his eyes.

His words caught me off guard for sure. We had never really experimented much, so he hadn't gotten to try anything but vanilla with me before. The bonding was the closest to kinky sex we'd had. I personally wasn't much for vanilla; I was just trying to keep Katsuki happy, but it seemed like he was ready to try some new, spicier things out.

I tightened my grip around his throat, but not enough to choke him.

To my surprise, it seemed to turn him on as a quiet moan slipped past his lips.

"Maybe it's time to experiment a little? Let me know if you're disliking something, promise me that?"

Katsuki nodded. "Yes. I promise."

This was going to be interesting. How much would he be able to take..?
