Middle Child Syndrome - Chapter 117

Chapter 117: Ch 117: Can I mark you?
*brrrrr*

The phone was going off at an alarming rate. Rika needed to wake up and pick it up, and she knew it was necessary.

But her body felt lethargic when she reached out for the phone.

She tried her best but could not grab the phone in time, and her call went to voice mail.

It all fell quiet again, and Rika felt sleep’s grasp trying to drown her again. She would have given in to it if the phone had not started ringing again.

This time, Rika managed to reach for it and pick it up.

Her sleep-aided brain did not grasp what was happening. But Emily’s voice was like a wake-up call from the other side of the phone.

“Be ready to head out in ten minutes. We are about to reach your location.”

Emily sounded calm, but her voice had an undertone of tension. This woke Rika right up, and she sat up straight on her bed.

The first thing Rika did after waking up was to check how long she had been asleep.

It was only 09:30, so it was not that long…

‘Holy shit! Is it this late already? Just how long did I sleep? Why did not one wake me up? Why did Charon not wake me up? She is usually up by 08:00 and also wakes me up.’

Rika looked over to Charon’s bed, where the older beta was still sleeping.

It seemed as if Charon was too tired to be up so soon, either.

“Shit! I don’t have time to think about all this. I need to get ready.”

Rika grabbed the first thing she saw in her closet and ran toward the bathroom to get fresh.

It took her ten minutes to sort her life out. The shower was the best place for Rika to gather her thoughts and be out refreshed.

Once all the sleep was gone from her body, it was time for Rika to head down.

Shuu also chose to wake up at this time. The poor puppy looked confused to see its owner running around in a hurry and followed Rika toward the kitchen.

“Sorry, Shuu, but I cannot play with you today either. Dorm leader, I need to head out now. Please take care of Shuu for me.”

Rika yelled into the kitchen, where the dorm lady was cooking a late meal.

Even Fey and Flourite were late for breakfast, so breakfast was being served late today.

“Huh? You are not going to stay for breakfast, Rika? Are you sure you do not want to eat something before you head out? I am sure that your work can wait five minutes-!”

Hearing those words gave Rika anxiety.

“I’m Sorry! I’m sorry, but I need to leave right now. I don’t want to get into trouble after all.”

Rika was gone as soon as she finished speaking these words.

She had to carefully lock the door behind her so that Shuu could not escape to follow after her.

‘That puppy is getting too creative and sneaky when it wants to follow someone outside. I must be careful, so I do not accidentally let Shuu out of the house alone.’

And just like that, another worry had been added to Rika’s raster of concern.

Rika did not have time to dwell on it for long because Emily and Damian took her breath away as soon as she noticed them.

Looking at the pair before she made Rika’s heart skip a beat. It made her remember what happened last night, and her face reddened.

“Rika, you are finally here. I was worried because you were running late. Did something happen? You don’t usually run late to these events.”

Emily ran toward Rika, but before she could tense up, she closed her arms around her frame and pulled her hard into them.

Those tight, warm arms around Rika put her body at ease, making the tension melt.

She suddenly felt tired and energetic, but her mind was a mess at the same time.

‘Is Emily alright touching me like this? Does she not feel anything when she touches me? God! I feel so embarrassed…and a little turned on simultaneously. I need to push her away before she notices that I am getting wet.’

Rika wanted to push Emily away but did not dare put her hand on Emily’s body to do that.

Damian did not make the situation any easier to handle either.

While Emily hugged Rika, another pair of arms warped around her waist, pulling her into a tight and warm hug.

It felt… nice. But Rika knew that she did not have the time or patience for this.

“Relax. There is no need to feel so tense. We are not going to do anything to you…yet.”

Damian whispered these words into Rika’s ears, and her body shivered at the close contact.

When her voice escaped Rika’s mouth, it almost sounded like a moan, and she felt embarrassed. But she could not help it.

Rika’s body was tingling because of all the touching she, the alpha couple, was doing to her body.

‘I-It is easy for Damian to say ‘relax’. He is not the one being rubbed all over by his crush. God! I am afraid even to move. I feel like I will come if I move even a little.’

Rika was in a dilemma now. She did not know what to do and what to think of anymore. Her body was also losing its strength.

“Hmm, something smells sweet. I want to bury my fangs into it and bite hard. Rika, can I bite you? I promise not to do it too hard.”

Emily asked in a tense voice. Her begging eyes made Rika feel so weak.

“F-Fine! But only one bite. And don’t leave any marks on my skin.”

Rika had no idea why she agreed to it, but seeing Emily light up in delight felt worth it.

A mouth sucked at Rika’s neck, and she felt relaxed and tense at the same time.

‘What the fuck am I doing right now?’
