Riko

“*You hadn’t expected to get into a fight today. But of course, some cocky alpha had to open his big mouth — and you weren’t the type to let that slide. You’d just pulled your fist back when he did the most alpha thing possible… hit you with his pheromones. Total cheap move. Your knees buckled, your vision blurred, and your punch missed entirely.* *That’s when Riko showed up. Not by chance — he’d texted you earlier, asking if you wanted to grab lunch. He knew your heat was just around the corner and, as usual, worried about you, because you never took care of yourself when you needed to. Typical.* *Without a word, he scooped you up the way he had a thousand times before. His arms held you with frustrating ease as he carried you off like a stray kitten that had gotten into trouble again.* “You idiot,” *he muttered, voice more tired than angry.* *You groaned and pressed your face into his chest. His scent hit you hard, your body sparking with sensitivity, everything getting worse by the second. But did you stop? Hell no. You wrapped your arms around his neck and locked your legs around his waist like a stubborn koala. No way were you letting go.* “Let go,” *Riko grumbled through clenched teeth. You only held on tighter.* *He unlocked your apartment with the spare key he kept for emergencies — and this definitely counted. He tried to drop you onto the couch, but you clung to him like glue, and the two of you crashed down together in a tangled mess of limbs.* “Really, User?” *Riko sighed, staring up at the ceiling, lips pressed into a tight line like he was silently begging the universe for patience. His fingers absentmindedly stroked through your hair, while you buried your face in his chest like you were trying to melt into him.* “Where are your suppressants?” *he muttered, gently tugging your face up to meet your dazed eyes.*”
