"Your curiosity is deafening," Lin teased as they headed up to the living room. John flushed, knowing he shouldn't pry, but he couldn't help it. The bag Lin had was huge, bigger than it would be for just his few items. "Do you want to know?" Lin teased as he leaned down, something heated in his dark eyes making John's heart thud. He nodded. "Go and shower, then make sure you use the bathroom and brush your teeth." It wasn't a request.

"Use the...bathroom?" Lin nodded at his bewildered stammer, but didn't explain. Why would I need to use the bathroom? John wandered into the heat room and grabbed his pyjamas. Wait, why am I doing this in the first place? He almost felt ticked off as he stalked back into the living room and eyed Lin almost distrustfully. "You just ordered me!" His mind went blank as he watched Lin straighten up.

"I did. Go and shower as I said, then get into the heat room." John's cheeks flushed as he fought the urge to obey. Lin gave him a heated smile as he stepped closer and leaned down, one hand holding his wrist as the other cupped his chin and tilted his head up. "Why must you make things so difficult? Just do as I say, and I'll make sure you're fairly compensated," he teased before leaning down to capture his soft lips. John almost melted upon contact, swearing he could feel sparks on his sensitive skin.

"Koujo..." he murmured needily, opening his mouth as Lin's tongue teased his bottom lip. His free hand gripped the back of Lin's shirt as Lin's hand caressed the wrist of his captured hand. Lin bumped their foreheads, enjoying the heat of his mate's skin. His expression lost some of its heat, becoming warm and affectionate. He truly adored his mate, who was almost swooning in his arms.

"Shower, then heat room," Lin repeated softly, feeling John nod his dazed agreement. "Good boy," he purred as he placed a kiss on his omega's forehead. He watched John pad to the bathroom, looking over his shoulder uncertainly before heading inside. Lin headed downstairs as the door clicked. Naru had said he would stay with Yasuhara and came to pack a few things. He was perfectly capable of packing by himself, but Lin had made sure he had his phone charger before he left so that he could call if he needed to.

Lin couldn't help smirking as he climbed the stairs, pleased that they wouldn't be disturbed for the next few days. He hurried through to the smaller bedroom with his bag and unpacked a few items before disinfecting them. It was a little fiddly, but he slipped the straps for the chain linked cuffs under the mattress, leaving the straps out of sight. He was almost nervous as he waited for John to reappear. It had been a long time since he'd engaged in these sorts of activities, and he'd never done it with someone he cared about so much. It took longer than he thought, and John was walking slowly when he finally appeared at the door. He looked shy and uncertain as he peered around the edge of the door.

"Did you do as I asked?" Lin asked from his place, standing at the end of the bed. John nodded wordlessly, curled locks dripping on the shoulders of his pale blue pyjamas. He looked adorable, especially with the collar resting in place on his pale skin. "Then come here." Lin held out a hand in invitation, waiting for John to take it. John hesitantly placed his hand in Lin's and quickly found himself in a warm embrace, firm lips brushing his searchingly.

"Koujo..." John murmured as he reached up to loop his arms around Lin's neck, allowing his alpha to lead and deepen the kiss. He felt a large hand slide up his spine, beneath the cotton of his pyjamas. Lin's other hand slowly crept downwards, caressing and squeezing his soft ass. Lin held back a moan of contentment as he stroked his impossibly soft, smooth skin. He opened his eyes as John rocked against his thigh, almost amused as he pushed John's pants down his slender legs.

John gave no objections as Lin moved them to the bed, easily lifting his half-dressed body onto the plush surface. John writhed beneath his larger body, small hands tugging at the buttons of his shirt. Lin allowed him this. It gave him the opportunity to strip John's shirt at the same time. He watched as John's skin prickled in the cool air and he titled his head back with a gasp as Lin's thumbs teased his nipples, making them harden. Lin paused as John's hands pressed against his chest.

"What are you thinking?" John could sense that Lin had something in mind. He wasn't sure he liked it. Lin leaned down and kissed along his jawline. The kisses were gentle, almost assuring.

"I thought we might play a game..." Lin was amused as he felt John stiffen at his enticing tone. "A game of endurance." That still didn't give him the explanation he'd asked for. Lin reached up for the first wrist restraint and held it over John's nose teasingly. He nuzzled John in reassurance. If he wasn't willing, then he certainly wouldn't force the issue.

"I'm listening," John murmured, blue eyes looking at the cuff curiously. So, he hasn't caught on yet...

"You said to Yasuhara you could handle it, didn't you? Your heat." Lin murmured as he took John's right hand and kissed his fingertips. John watched transfixed as Lin kissed down to his palm and then his pulse. He nodded as he watched Lin finally wrap the padded leather strap around his slender wrist and tightened it. There was a moment of panic as he pulled on the cuff and found himself unable to reach much lower than his chest. Lin hushed him assuringly, stroking his cheek. "Let's put it to the test then...I won't touch you until you beg me." John's cheeks flushed about three shades.

"Wait...How am I supposed to satisfy myself with my hands tied?" The question was answered as Lin reached up and readjusted the chains. Now he could fully lower his arm and move freely, so long as he remained on the bed where he was. "And the cuffs? They're not wholly necessary for this challenge to work..." he added curiously, watching as Lin averted his gaze a little. He just enjoys seeing me like this...

"I wouldn't want you to cheat...No touching yourself until your heat starts," Lin added as he cuffed John's other wrist and tightened the straps so that he could no longer touch himself. John pulled the straps with pink cheeks. Is he serious? "I won't let you up for anything." That explained why he'd stressed he had to use the bathroom. John wasn't sure he wanted to play this game.

"Why should I play this game?" John couldn't see a benefit, besides proving himself right or wrong.

"You'll understand your heat a little better and see how much endurance you have...Can you imagine how satisfying it will be when you finally give in, unable to take it anymore?" Lin teased as he licked John's collarbone, amused by the small whine and shiver that ran through his captive body. He was a little cold and nervous. John gasped as he felt Lin's fingers tease his dry entrance, eyes widening a little as he eyed his mate.

"I thought you weren't going to let me..." John cut off, unable to help the way his body writhed against Lin's touch. Lin pulled away, stroking his way down one of John's legs to cuff his ankle before moving to the other. John could bend his knees a little, but he couldn't bring his legs together. He felt exposed and vulnerable as he looked up at his alpha. Lin let out his scent, smothering him in the comforting spiced haze. John moaned as Lin's fingers returned to teasing his entrance, working in lube. John whined quietly, lips parting as two fingers pressed in and stroked his inner walls.

"I won't leave you completely unstimulated," Lin teased as he showed him the innocent-looking plug, which had a single wire hanging off it. John tilted his head. It was the device Yasuhara had pushed into his hand earlier. It looked like some sort of pink tadpole. He was about to question Lin further when he reached between his thighs and slowly teased the bulb into his loosened entrance. His blue eyes widened at the stretching sensation. It was strange having something besides Lin's fingers penetrating him. He wasn't sure he liked it as the bulb stretched his entrance and pushed inside, Lin's fingers guiding it deeper.

"Lin, I'm not sure I like-" John cut off with a small gasp as the buzz sounded. He couldn't just hear it though; he could feel it. Inside. Lin hummed thoughtfully, long fingers repositioning the large bud before the vibrations started again. A small sound fled John's surprised lips as the buzz brushed against his prostate.

"Give it a little time...I'm sure it'll grow on you," Lin teased, watching John's body twitch and writhe as he pressed the remote again. "John, I'm going to leave you here for a while. I'm not leaving the house. I'll be back once I've readied our supplies," Lin assured as he stroked his flushed cheek, watching his omega nod his understanding. He gave a final press of the remote in farewell, enjoying the way a small sound of protest rose to John's lips only to be gasped away.

Lin spent the next couple of hours cleaning up the house, making sure the front door was secured and moving food and water up to the heat room. He gave the remote small buzzes as he worked, sometimes able to hear John's moans while being too far away at others. He finally showered and slipped into his black lounge pants before returning to spend the rest of the heat period at his omega's side. Perhaps I overdid it...Lin huffed fondly as he looked down at John's panting form, his pale skin damp and flushed as he looked at him tiredly. He wanted to take him right then and there. Patience!

"Am I allowed to sleep during this game?" John asked sleepily, soothed as he felt Lin's cool hand on his forehead. John's thighs were quivering slightly, and his fingers were shaking as they lay curled slightly above his head. He was hazy and physically drained, blue eyes glassy and tired as he looked up.

"Of course...I'll be here if you need me," Lin murmured assuringly as he stroked his fluffed locks. John nodded meekly as he closed his eyes, trusting Lin to allow him the rest his body required in preparation. True to his word, Lin didn't tease him as he slept, and upon waking he allowed him a single bathroom break, so long as he promised faithfully to play along. John returned to bed, still feeling dazed as Lin strapped his limbs once more and began teasing him again.

Lin leaned against the window ledge to watch him twitch and writhe. Even without pressing the button, he could tell the plug was stimulating him, resting securely in his passage. He pressed the button and held it down, watching John's mouth fall open as his spine arched. He shook his head with a helpless whine of protest, taking a few deep gasping breaths. Each one ended in a high-pitched whimper, pleading for mercy but also begging for more. Lin bit his own lip as he watched. John's scent permeated the room as his body tried to attract its mate, seeking fulfilment. His cock was erect and dripping, twitching with his small body and begging for Lin's attention.

"Are you sure this is fair?" John demanded as his body collapsed on the mattress after another prolonged jolt. He could feel his heart racing already. He was painfully hard, and he could feel his cock dripping on his pelvis. His cheeks flushed as he looked up at Lin, who chased away his insecurity with the hungry look in his dark eyes. It was taking everything he had not to cage his smaller body against the mattress and take him.

"All's fair in love and war." John was unsure that particular saying had a place in their discussion. He would have said so if Lin hadn't pushed the button and made his body arch against its restraints. John panted, whining helplessly, feeling increasingly distressed. The heat was now steadily prickling across his skin. He'd started the early stages, and being unable to reach satisfaction was wearing him down.

"Koujo..." John moaned helplessly, the distress encouraging Lin to lean over him carefully. He examined his omega, enjoying the sweet scent of slick in the cramped room. It was about time. He pulled the curtains around the bed securely and hit the air-conditioning unit, sending gushes of cool air through the room. He finally pulled the plug free and lengthened John's restraints enough for him to touch himself. John resisted for now, remembering their wager. Lin sat at the end of the bed, watching his mate squirm on the sheets, which were soon damp with slick and sweat. They remained like that for a full hour, John panting and whining as he clenched and unclenched his fists and squirmed on the sheets uncomfortably.

"Don't deny yourself...Show me everything," Lin murmured, reaching down to touch his own solid cock and relieve himself of his lounge pants. He wanted more than anything to end John's suffering and take him. John's cheeks flushed uncertainly as he slid one hand down to tease his cock, matching Lin's slow strokes with his own. He wasn't used to being watched, and still had a little of his self-consciousness left intact. His cheeks were pink as he closed his eyes and turned his face away, using his free hand to reach up and explore his damp chest and tease his hardened nipples.

"Jo..." John moaned as he looked up desperately, unsure he could take much more. Despite remaining stoic and strong, Lin's cheeks were flushed, and there was a light sheen of sweat glistening on his toned body. John licked his lips subconsciously as he looked at his naked alpha, knowing well how he could use that body to satisfy his needs.

"You're not giving in already, are you?" Lin teased, watching John shake his head hazily. He watched as John widened his legs and raised his hips enough to slip his free hand behind. Lin moaned as he watched two of John's fingers press inside, making his head fall back as he mewled and rocked his hips. He watched John trying for a good while, becoming more helpless and desperate with each unsatisfying thrust. John finally got onto his knees, giving himself more space to rock his hips. When he thought he couldn't take anymore, Lin pushed the large dildo into his grasp. He watched as John wrapped his lips around it, tongue stroking up and down, almost taunting him.

Once it was wet enough, John knelt above the fake flesh and slowly lowered himself onto it. It felt new and different as it slipped inside, but it wasn't Lin. It offered a little satisfaction, but it was nowhere near the same as having Lin's body wrapped around his. John watched Lin with lidded eyes as he slowly pumped the toy in his entrance. Though he hid it well, he could feel Lin's dissatisfaction. It was fun to watch John pleasuring himself, but it was a job he wanted to do himself. John released more of his scent as he pushed the toy deeper, reaching up to tease one of his nipples and he rode the thick cock.

"That's sneaky," Lin chided as he breathed in John's sweet scent, which cried and pleaded for Lin to claim him.

"But not cheating." Seducing Lin was the only way he could get what he wanted without losing their wager. John's cheeks flushed as he eyed Lin's solid cock and licked his dry lips. He opened his mind, filled with images of just what he wanted to do with that cock. How it would fill his mouth and open his throat, filling him so much he'd choke. He wanted it so badly he could almost taste it already.

"John," Lin warned as he laced a hand in his blonde locks. John opened his mouth in response, following Lin's touch as he was led down. He couldn't contain himself. As soon as he was close enough, he all but dove at Lin's cock. He licked and sucked the dripping tip before taking as much as he could, filling his cheeks like a hamster. He was still a little inexperience in this area, but if Lin's moans were anything to go by, he was definitely doing something right this time. Supporting himself on one hand, he reached back to continue pleasuring himself with the other. He purred as he felt a larger hand over his own, taking control of the dildo. John rested both hands on Lin's thighs, giving all of his focus to the task before him.

"I'm not sure this counts as a win..." Lin murmured as he pushed and pulled on the toy, watching it slide in and out of John's slickened entrance. There was no effort at all. John was so wet it really did glide in his tight heat. Heat Lin wanted around his own cock. He finally had enough and threw John down, blue eyes wide in protest as saliva and pre-release coated his innocent pink lips. That just made Lin want him more. John's protest ended the moment he took his ankles and pried his legs apart. Lin wasted no time in pushing inside, both of them moaning as he finally plundered John's smaller body.

"Please...Jo, please!" Lin forgot his smugness over John's begging as he obeyed his omega's will. He held him down by the hips as he pounded into him, moaning as John's nails raked his upper arms and shoulders. John arched his spine and locked his ankles around Lin's slim hips, pulling him closer, urging him deeper. Within a few minutes, John was bending up to meet each of Lin's hard thrusts. He rode them like waves. Finally, John lay sated and panting. "I won," he murmured tiredly, and Lin didn't argue. He'd given in first.

"You did," he agreed as he lounged beside him, both of them breathless.

"That felt so..." John trailed off, cheeks flushed and eyes glassy. Lin nodded his agreement as he laced a hand in John's now damp locks. It had been an intense coupling; one he wouldn't soon forget. His omega looked more gorgeous than usual, with his wrists and ankles bound as he lay panting and sated. John turned on his side and reached for Lin, whining in despair as his hand stopped sort of reaching him.

"Shh, it's alright," Lin murmured as he reached out and unfastened the straps on his wrists, humming in contentment as he finally burrowed into his chest and wrapped his arms around him. Lin kissed his soft lips, cheeks and neck, soothing him as he slowly eased away to release his ankles. Now fully released, John wasted no time in pouncing his alpha, surprising him as he mounted his strong hips. "You're unusually bold today," Lin murmured as he stroked John's hips, rocking and grinding their slowly hardening cocks.

"Perhaps because you teased me so much earlier," John replied with a small keen, leaning forwards to run his hands over Lin's bare torso. He hadn't been allowed to touch his alpha for hours. He was going to make up for it. Lin stroked his way up his side until he cupped his cheek and eased him down. Their lips fused in a tender kiss, pressing slowly.

"I'll make up for it...I promise." He barely broke away from John's tender, giving lips to speak. John whined his approval before sinking himself down on Lin's hard cock, both of them gasping at the sensation, still sensitive from their previous coupling. John arched and leaned back, resting his hands on Lin's thighs as he circled his hips with a surprising amount of confidence, confidence he usually only gained when he relinquished himself fully to his omega. Lin held his hip with one hand and braced his other elbow, snapping up to meet the gentle grind. John keened with each slap skin, breathless and needy.

"Koujo..." he whined, moving to rest a hand on top of the one on his hip.

"Johnathan..." Lin breathed in response, squeezing the flesh beneath his palm assuringly. He finally pushed himself up so that he could kiss John, who leaned forward and gripped his shoulders. The rocking and grinding continued, gradually building to rough thrusts and loud claps of flesh. Grunts and moans filled the small room, skin glistening despite the cool air from the AC. Hands grabbed, fingers stroked, lips kissed and teeth nipped. They were exhausted when they finally fell down, panting and sated once more.
