(Ryan Reese)
"Shane, over here! Let's take some sunflowers home!"
Ryan is sunny cheerful Omega. He is just like his favorite sunflower, emitting bright light, cheering others.
Shane approaches him and helps him carrying the sunflowers.
Ryan picks some ripe seeds and eats them.
"Yuck! Not as good as factory made."
Shane comments, "Of course. Food flavors and color additive added. How could seeds from stores tasted bad?"
Ryan smiles to him and he smiles back.
Shane feels it's too easy to be his fake boyfriend. No quarreling. No arguments.
Ryan has a good temper, unlike his ex, Chad.
No, cross that.
It's his future boyfriend, Chad.
Ryan asks,"Tell me about the guy you like?"
"He has pale skin and red hair. He is rather impulsive and sloppy in doing laundry."
Shane remembered Chad mixed white clothes with color ones. Resulting Shane's favorite white shirt into pink one. They got into big argument back then. Not talking for a whole week.
He was really mad at that time.
Now, he cherishes his memories like treasure.
Ryan comments, "He sounded awful. Are you sure you want him?"
"Yes. Only him. No one else."
They aren't aware of two stalkers wearing camouflage suits. Lying on top of hill like two snipers. They are using binoculars to spy on the lovebirds.
Chad asks, "This is madness. Why don't we just meet them?"
"I don't want to ruin it for him. It's his first date. Just want to see if Shane is right for him."
Chad sighs.
Toda obviously loves Ryan Reese. He is too afraid to chase him. They ended up as two miserable stalkers in the middle of nowhere.
Shane and Ryan have put the flowers into their luxurious wood cabin. Now they are going swimming at private beach.
Ryan stares Shane's six abs with pure admiration mode. This Alpha is just perfect for his taste. Shane Moss is just like a male model comes out of a magazine.
Chad covers his mouth.
Nosebleed.
Since when Shane got such body?
Toda grumbles while lifting his tee-shirt. Nothing to compare. He doesn't have flabby belly. No six abs too. Just regular flat one. He regrets not doing exercises in daily basis.
They have left the hill and gone to beach for closer observation.
Pale skin. Red haired young man. This must be the one he likes.
Toda is with him. They are spying at Shane and him.
Ryan smiles while saying, "I'm hungry. Let's eat something. My servant has prepared a picnic basket for us."
Shane and him swim back to shore.
Ryan's family is very rich. They could afford a villa and private beach. This island is owned by two families: Toda and Ryan's families.
Ryan stops walking abruptly. He squints his eyes.
Shane approaches him.
He asks, "What's wrong?"
"Something in my right eye. Could you help me?"
"Oh, okay."
Shane lowers his head and blows gently, trying to remove the dust.
From that angle, they look like they are kissing.
Chad grits his teeth and leaves the spot.
Toda clenches his fists. He strides toward them. He pulls the annoying Alpha from his dream Omega.
A punch is launched but Shane grabs his fist easily.
"Buddy, talk with mouth, not fist. We aren't barbarians here," comments Shane.
His eyes suddenly notices a red haired guy running away. That familiar back. He doesn't think twice before chasing him.
Ryan scolds, "Toda! Why are you here?"
"Preventing you to humiliate yourself."
"I'm on date. Don't disturb us."
"Aren't you selling yourself too cheap? First date and already kissed."
"It's my problem. Not yours. Beat it."
Toda clenches his fists. He stares to the sky and inhales a deep breath. He opens his hands again. His eyes are showing deep pain.
He says calmly, "You are right. Sorry for the disturbance, Your Highness. Never would bother you again."
"Toda... Hey, wait!"
Toda has strode away, never looking back again. After loving Ryan since childhood days, he finally gives up.
Ryan shakes his head. He needs to find his date. No time to think for Toda.
*****
Shane finally finds Chad in a small forest near the villa. The guy is kneeling. He is panting, breathing heavily.
Chad's face flushes. He is sweating too much. His body is trembling.
"Chad, what's wrong?"
"Inhibitor..."
His fluctuative emotions have resulted in forced estrus. He is feeling horrible right now. Unable to move at all. His inhibitor was lost during his running.
"Chad, just hang in there."
Shane hugs him and releases his pheromone to make him feel better. He bites his gland and temporarily marked him.
The awful feeling subsides gradually. Chad has fallen asleep in his arms. Shane smiles gently to him. He wants to kiss his soft lips so badly.
In the end, he refrains to do it. His status is Ryan's boyfriend at this moment. It won't be fair for both Omegas.
Shane is going to keep his promise. One month fake dating and polite separation. He owed Ryan that much.
Toda finds Chad in Shane's arms.
He says, "Let me take him home."
"No. I will carry him."
Maybe it's his Alpha's instincts. He hates handing over Chad to another man.
Shane carries Chad to Toda's villa in piggy back style. He tucks him in and covers him with a blanket.
Toda asks, "What is your intention with Ryan?"
"Nothing."
"You!"
Toda grabs Shane's collar in his rage. He is staring to his eyes, giving him murderous intent.
Shane says calmly, "I promised him to be his one month boyfriend. That's all. Nothing more."
"You..."
"I owed him that much. Don't worry. Won't touch him. We are just friends."
The Alphas have left the bedroom. Chad opens his eyes.
Stupid Shane.
Chad forgets Shane always keeps his words. No matter how silly vow.
Back in his villa, Ryan is sulking. Shane hasn't come back. He must have hooked up with that red haired guy.
He is thinking to find them at Toda's villa when Shane walks back.
Ryan smiles brightly.
Shane only smiles politely to him.
Silly guy. There is an Alpha who madly in love with him. Why he must seek love from someone else? That's the future billionare. One of the wealthiest man in our country.
Ryan couldn't read mind. He doesn't know Shane ridicules him in his heart.
They have lunch together.
For the next three days in the villa, Shane keeps acting polite toward Ryan. He maintains his distance when the silly Omega tries very hard to flirt him.
