The Emperor's Omega Is An Extra-Chapter 52: Flirting and Promise
Chapter 52: Flirting and Promise
"Arren?" Spade called out to him which helped him out of a daze.
Arren averted his gaze from the camera and swallowed some saliva. Well, he realized that the alpha was his boyfriend now so why would he be ashamed to see his naked upper body?
"Is it really okay to answer the phone looking like that?" Arren grumbled as he finally returned his gaze to the phone screen again.
Now, that he thought of it. A mischievous thought suddenly came into his mind. His flustered appearance vanished and he flashed an enchanting smile to Spade.
Was this enough excuse for him to start flirting and seducing the alpha without raising suspicion that he had ulterior motives?
This little change in his expression was easily noticed by Spade from the other side of the screen. Arren always forgot that his boyfriend was not any other alpha but the Emperor with keen observation.
Spade raised his brow, not saying anything to expose Arren again but was already secretly on guard with his antics.
"I’m sorry, I just showered," Spade simply answered, making sure his answer was precise without making room for Arren to start his play.
However, if that was true, then Spade had underestimated Arren. He didn’t care if there wasn’t enough room for him to say his shits, he would create a hole in that room himself.
Arren’s smile brightened and squinted his phoenix eyes slightly, staring directly at his phone as if he was talking to the alpha in front of him.
"Then, I want to ask. Are you wearing something underneath? Or nothing?" He started, asking boldly. Aside from the wanted to tease Spade, he was also extremely curious about it.
The alpha fell silent, staring at the mischievous smile on Arren’s lips and the interest glow in his eyes.
"I am wearing something," Spade simply responded once more.
Arren’s brow raised playfully, "Oh, really? Then why don’t you let me see? I want to know if you’re telling the truth."
The alpha sighed and instead of complying with his request first, he asked something.
"Tell me, what are you on again, Arren?" Spade now couldn’t help but ask.
However, he wasn’t Arren if he would let Spade get away with it. He truly wanted to see, once he already started, it would be hard to stop him.
Arren chuckled, then he shrugged.
"What do you mean? I want to know to see if you’re telling the truth, you won’t lie to me because you’re embarrassed don’t you?" He continued to tease, inciting the alpha even more.
"Why would I be embarrassed?" Spade responded. He knew Arren would not stop this, and they would walk in circles in this conversation.
He guessed right. Arren’s motive in this call was to seduce Spade for him to be involved in the investigation to begin with.
"Then why don’t you show me? Perhaps... you’re really lying to me. Or... you’re not confident to show me your body." Arren continued to incite Spade, spoking nonsense left and right. He was sure one of the things he would say would hit that nerve Spade and finally show it to him.
Suddenly, the anticipation inside of him intensified. He would never be ashamed to admit that he genuinely found the alpha so hot, and Spade was his type for the moment Arren laid his eyes on him.
He would finally have a chance to see his bare chest and... the bonus if he was truly naked down there as well. Arren didn’t know if his showing signs of becoming a pervert was a good or bad thing. Spade was his boyfriend, and he would have a chance sooner or later, right?
Just as Arren expected, one of his words finally triggered the alpha in front of him. If they were together, perhaps Arren would be scared of him playing with fire as the dangerous look of the alpha appeared on his face. However, since they were only talking on the phone, Arren was truly too brave for his own good.
He forgot what would happen if they finally met again. Well, Arren would surely learn his lesson then... or not.
Spade finally frowned, not in an upset way but to an entirely something else. He was already thinking of possible ways to punish Arren for inciting him. The omega truly wanted him to lose control, and one of these days, he would get what he wanted, Spade swore.
"I’m wearing a towel. If you want to see, then I’ll show you." his tone changed and became deeper as well. If arren wanted to play the flirting game, he would gladly give it to him.
The camera moved to make the image in Arren’s screen a little blurred before, in an instant, a complete picture of Spade’s appeared in front of his screen.
Arren’s eyes widened slightly, and he almost cursed. It could already be considered a jumpscare. His heart raced, and he couldn’t tear his gaze away from Spade.
Damn... was this really his alpha? Why the hell was he so lucky?
His eyes first focused on Spade’s chest, then lingered on the toned abdomen with packed abs... Arren licked his lips as he stared at the well-sculpted V line.
As his gaze lowered, he unconsciously sighed. Spade was telling the truth; he truly was wearing a towel on his lower body.
A few moments later, he was already facing Spade on the screen, but the chest was also visible in his eyes this time. He thought it wasn’t a bad view at all.
"You finally filled your curiosity?" Spade shook his head and asked.
"Yes, you’re not lying... but I prefer that you’re lying, though," Arren mumbled, not ashamed that Spade could hear him.
Spade shook his head once more. He didn’t know if Arren knew how his words affected him. He wasn’t even sure if the omega was only playing with him or truly meant his words.
"It’s late already. Do you have something important to say to me?" Spade pushed another topic before something awakened in him, talking to omega this late at night. He just showered.
Arren knew Spade was only changing the topic; he didn’t mind it. He also wanted to talk about it next, anyway. He rested his back on the bedpost comfortably and looked at his screen, where he could see his handsome and sexy alpha.
"Is it bad if I call?" Still, Arren didn’t forget to enter some nonsense and flirting into the conversation.
"No, you can call me anytime. But I feel like you have something to say to me this time." the alpha answered.
Arren’s smile remained on his lips while his mind began to spin how he would bring the topic without instant refusal.
"I always want to see you," he began. Well, he was honest with his words. He truly wanted to see the alpha all the time. However, their status made going on dates like an average couple impossible.
Spade also became solemn as he nodded.
"Mm, I feel the same," he answered.
Arren stared at the phone screen.
"How about I help you with the investigation? Then, I have an excuse to see you all the time." Arren smoothly pushed his motive to the conversation.
Spade frowned, and their gazes locked. He wasn’t surprised by the alpha’s expression. He knew that convincing the alpha was difficult. However, it was the only thing he could think of that he could give Spade all the information he knew without raising suspicion.
If he was part of the investigation, Arren could use some of his knowledge of the plot regarding the plot more effectively. If he couldn’t succeed, then he would think of something else.
"Why do you suddenly want to be involved in the investigation?" Spade inquired directly.
Arren fell silent. It was evident that he didn’t have much interest in the investigation even from the start and only wanted to see Ashton. So, what changed?
Actually, even Arren didn’t anticipate how everything would change so fast. From him only wanting to become the pretty little extra until the end to finally becoming involved in the plot.
"I want to know who wants to harm me... and who killed my mother," Arren answered truthfully.
He might not be being completely honest to Spade but what he said was his most important goal. He wanted to help uncover the organization; they weren’t only the book’s villains to him. They were already his nightmare and their greatest enemy.
Ashton’s words still lingered in his mind. If he could escape the first time, could he do the same again? This threat of the organization was like a sword hanging on his head, ready to kill him any moment he put his guard down.
The atmosphere turned heavy in an instant. A few moments later, the alpha spoke.
"Okay, if that’s what you want." Spade agreed, tone low and heavy.
Arren blinked and looked at the alpha, who stared at him with a heavy gaze and a completely unreadable expression.
"You will really allow me to?" Arren confirmed incredulously. While he wanted this, he was still surprised that Spade had let him.
"Mm, I’m sorry. I know you have the right to involve with the investigation," he paused, then continued with a slight conviction in his tone, "but you’re not allowed to move on your own. I’m only letting you if you promise me." Spade’s tone was that of a strict boyfriend.
Arren laughed, and the heavy air around him vanished. He nodded, "Of course, I’ll always listen to you."
