Falling into the Abyss

Chapter 38 Roland's Past

Ethan still remembers that night he took Roland to his favorite quiet bar. The lighting was soft and ambiguous. With melodious jazz, it is very retro.He was sitting by the bar, sipping a martini in his cup while listening to Roland narrating his observations and experiences on various planets under the jurisdiction of the Third Reich in his unique charming voice.Ethan seldom has the opportunity to travel, especially because the Earth Alliance government does not encourage its citizens to go to alien countries. Even official travel has to go through layers of approval, which is very troublesome.He listened to Roland's vivid description of the strange races and folk customs on those distant planets, and he felt a wave of envy in his heart.

Roland also stretched out his right hand, a rare emerald was inlaid on a silver ring on his ring finger, "I dug this stone near the underground lake, I liked it, so I made it into a ring " After he finished speaking, he suddenly raised that hand and gently moved it to his cheek.His smile is full of unruly wildness, with a hint of flirting, "Look, it's like the color of your eyes."

Ethan felt his cheeks getting hot at the time, and quickly let out a burst of laughter to cover up his agitated heart, "So I should wear this ring?"

Originally it was just a joke, but Roland took off the ring without thinking, then gently pulled his left hand, and slowly put it on Ethan's ring finger.

Ethan was completely dazed, and forgot to withdraw his hand, just staring blankly at his movements.Roland's eyelids with thick brown eyelashes raised slightly, with a half-smile, "Look, once you put on my ring, you're mine."

Ethan has never been so teased by an Alpha before, he quickly smiled and pulled his hand back to take off the ring, but Roland held his hand down, "Actually, this ring is not worth much, it's just because I like that color. But seeing you today, I know that it has found a more suitable owner. Take it as a gift from me to you."

That night, after Ethan asked the driver to take Roland, who was slightly drunk, back to his apartment, he walked alone in the cool air, trying to dissipate the scorching heat from his whole body.But it didn't work, no matter how long he walked, every time he thought of the plump lips covered with thin short beards, the deep and wild eyebrows, and the slightly rough but very gentle hands, he felt the fire burning in his heart. It's even more prosperous.

After that, Ethan didn't wear the ring again, but carefully put him in a box, hoping to return it when he had a chance in the future.

Waking up early to go to work was originally the most painful thing in the day, but for Ethan at that time, it became a golden light of hope.He chose a suit that fit him best, combed and fixed his hair carefully, and put on a pair of thin-rimmed glasses.In the mirror, he has become much more energetic, but he still has an air of rigid abstinence.He tried to undo a few buttons on the neckline, but he just felt that it was neither fish nor fowl, so he had to fasten them back.

He drove his aircraft to the Energy Bureau building, walked briskly into the secretary's office next to the director's office, sorted out the director's schedule for the day, and handed over some trivial matters to his assistant secretary.His main task today is to accompany the director, Roland and others to visit the metal synthesis station they built in the third space station. During the whole process, he dutifully explained the various divisions and basic synthesis principles in the synthesis station. Show your erudition and chime in at the right time.He could feel Roland's eyes on him from time to time, trying hard to control himself not to think too much.

By the end of the day's visit, it was already dinner time.The director improvised and enthusiastically invited several researchers to a banquet. Ethan had no choice but to decide which restaurant to choose as quickly as possible and negotiated with the restaurant manager.Within an hour, everyone was sitting comfortably in the box smoking and chatting.

In fact, Ethan was exhausted at the time, and he was always persuaded to drink, and he didn't like the smell of cigarettes, so he went to the bathroom to get some fresh air.He leaned against the railing in front of the man-made lake, looked up at the Milky Way across the sky in the distant starry sky, and sighed long.

"Is this going to urinate?" The almost predictable charming voice came from behind again.

There was a silent smile on the corner of Ethan's mouth, and he looked back at Roland, "There is a free public dinner, why run away?"

"Because it's boring." Roland said bluntly.Ethan squinted at him, and said dissatisfiedly, "Do you think my arrangement is not interesting enough? If I knew it, I would have arranged for you pedants to go to a strip club for dinner."

"Hahahaha, what's so good about stripping? It's not necessarily as good as me."

Ethan couldn't help but chuckled, "You? Striptease?"

"You don't believe it?" Roland stroked his slightly long brown hair back along his forehead, and said narcissistically, "My striptease will make many Omegas pale in comparison!"

Ethan couldn't stop laughing, "I won't believe it until you dance."

Originally it was just a joke, but Roland looked around, took out his personal information capsule from his pocket, activated it and threw it into the air.The pocket computer immediately unfolded into a thin layer of screen in the air.He quickly chose a song, the first few rhythmic drum beats, and then the most popular dance music at the moment.The Alpha in front of him raised one eyebrow at him and cast a seductive wink, then began to swing his waist and hips to the music, and gently slid his hands down the edge of the jacket, moving his neck to With a slight lift, the jacket slid down her arm gracefully.

Ethan was completely dumbfounded, his mouth was slightly opened, and he could not move while leaning against the railing.He was worried that someone would pass by and see this crazy scene at any time, but he couldn't bear to call it a stop.Roland's movements are smooth and familiar, every slight twitch of the eyelids and every upward hook of the corner of the mouth seems to be thoughtful and logical.He teasingly unbuttoned the top buttons of his shirt, revealing a large dark honey-colored strong chest muscle.Ethan swallowed, unable to look away, as if enchanted.

Roland walked towards him while twisting his waist, and the button of his shirt was completely unbuttoned when he got in front of him.He stretched out his hand to support the railing behind Ethan, confining Beta, who had already looked stupid, in the narrow space between himself and the railing.The exposed skin exudes a heat that is enough to warm the cool night wind, and the gaze that looks down is as intoxicating as wine.

"Do you believe it?" Roland smiled badly, showing a sharp canine tooth, like a vampire.

Ethan suddenly regained his self-control, he quickly stretched out his hand and pushed the opponent away, but the place where his palm touched the opponent's skin quickly retracted as if scalded, "You are really crazy, what should you do if you are seen? "

"Hahahaha, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

"I don't want to be accused of molesting a distinguished guest." Ethan used his best seriousness to cover up his blood-red cheeks.He really didn't understand, although he had heard that the people of the Third Reich were very open, but he really didn't expect to be so bold.

In the second half of the meal, Ethan couldn't concentrate all the time, and he didn't even dare to lift his glasses, because Roland was sitting at the table opposite him, and from time to time he would give him a look with a narrow smile.He felt that he couldn't resist this man, who would always do something that shocked him.

That night, he lay on the bed in his apartment tossing and turning, unable to sleep, asked the smart housekeeper to turn on the projection computer, used his identity and authority to overturn the domain barrier of the Earth Alliance, and waved his fingers to search for Roland's name on various social networks. .He is no longer a young man who likes to play social networks, and even his account has been sealed for many years, and it took a lot of effort to get it back.He flipped through the photos of Roland's life, guessing whether he would have a girlfriend or a boyfriend. However, after looking through a long list, he found that Roland broke up with a boyfriend a year ago, and that boyfriend was a very charming woman. Omega, with a slender figure and raised eyebrows, has a confident and gorgeous charm.

Ethan looked at the photo of Roland hugging his ex-boyfriend intimately, one unruly and the other glamorous, they couldn't be more suitable.And he touched his face with glasses, although it was straight, it was not distinctive.Compared with that Omega, there is really no similarity at all.

Ethan suddenly felt a little lost, turned off the computer, and fell asleep with a heavy heart.

After that, Ethan deliberately avoided Roland, and even had several excuses to go home to visit his sick mother, and taught his assistant secretary the task of escorting him.In this way, I didn't see Roland for more than a week.Later, those researchers were already familiar with the environment, and they started to cooperate with the researchers of the Earth Alliance to study the task of synthesizing new aviation materials, so they no longer needed the secretary's company and assistance.

Then on a certain Saturday night, he originally planned to cook a dinner by himself, and then quietly read a book or a movie at home.While the pasta was cooking, there was a knock on the door.Ethan was a little baffled, because he had always been a relatively withdrawn person, and even his colleagues who had a good relationship with energy rarely interacted with him on weekends, so unless he ordered takeaway, no one would bother him on Saturday night.

He opened the door and opened his eyes wide.

Roland was leaning against the door frame, not wearing more formal clothes as before, but a very casual leather jacket.Obviously, this kind of dress is more suitable for his wild temperament.It's still that charming smile that's a little naughty.

"Hey."

Ethan also replied dully, "Hey..."

"Don't invite me in?"

"...how did you come here?"

"The last time I was chatting at the bar, I remember you said that you live in this area. I happened to pass by today, so I came to say hello." His flustered words were like ducks in water, but Ethan knew that he never told him the specific house number the address of……

Seeing Ethan's expression of disbelief, Roland suddenly showed an expression of admitting defeat, and raised his hands, "Okay, okay, I heard about it from your colleague Taifeng. I'm really not a stalker."

Ethan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

Roland probably misunderstood Ethan's meaning, instead of his usual self-confident and unrestrained appearance, he scratched his head in embarrassment, "Eh... I won't bother you if you're busy." After finishing speaking, he turned to leave, However, Ethan's body moved first before his brain could react - he reached out and grabbed Roland's arm.

"Eh... I'm fine, come in and sit down."

Although Ethan's apartment wasn't too big, he had very little furniture, and it was neatly packed, making it look a bit empty.From the color matching of the furniture to the decoration, it is basically a very simple and restrained style, which matches his personality very well.Roland smelled the aroma of pasta sauce, "Are you cooking?"

"Well, seafood cream pasta, would you like some?"

"Okay! I haven't eaten yet!"

The last time Ethan cooked for someone was fifteen months ago, before he broke up with his ex-beta girlfriend.The moment he asked that question just now, he wished he could quickly suck that proposal back into his mouth, but he didn't expect that the other party agreed to his proposal.When he brought out the pasta nervously, he saw Roland looking at the expensive paper books on his bookshelf.

"Are you interested in ancient history?"

"Well... I majored in this subject when I was in college."

"Coincidentally, I also like to read ancient history, but I'm not as professional as you." He came to the marble counter in the kitchen, smelled the plate of pasta, "Mmm~~~ Delicious!"

This double meaning metaphor made Ethan not know what to say, and silently handed over the tableware.Originally, his stomach was already growling with hunger, but now facing that strange Alpha, he suddenly didn't dare to eat big mouthfuls.

But Roland seemed to be very contented, and his unremarkable eating seemed to have a kind of heroic elegance.Ethan suddenly had a strange feeling, as if he was cooking dinner with a partner he had been with for a long time on Saturday night, and the evening TV program was projected on one side of the wall.As long as a pet dog is added, the perfect two-person life he once imagined is almost like this.

Roland quickly cleaned up the dinner on the plate, wiped his lips with a napkin, and sighed, "I haven't eaten such delicious pasta for a long time. Only the Earth Alliance can make such authentic Earth cuisine."

Ethan chuckled softly, "You're flattering me too much, my cooking skills are not at the level where I won't have a stomachache."

Roland's eyes suddenly froze on his face, making Ethan a little hairy.

"what happened?"

Roland said, "You've got sauce on your face."

Ethan hurriedly wiped it with his hands in embarrassment, but he didn't wipe the right place.But Roland suddenly leaned forward, reached out to wipe off the sauce from the corner of his lips, and then... lightly licked his fingers.

If there is an onomatopoeia for blushing, then Ethan's face should be "coaxing" at this moment.

The air froze for a moment.After a long time, Ethan finally broke the silence.He pushed down his glasses, lowered his gaze, and asked, "Why did you ask Taifeng about my residence?"

Roland replied frankly, "Because I haven't seen you all this time."

"...Why did you see me? Oh, I see, is it that ring? Actually, I have always wanted to find a chance to give it back to you, just always..."

"No, no, it has nothing to do with the ring." Roland interrupted him, his confident smile became cramped, "I just... just want to see you again."

Ethan is not a teenager who has never been in love, so he naturally knows what this sentence implies.But he was still stunned, because it didn't occur to him that Roland seemed to want more than just flirting with him.

He has always known that he prefers a powerful Alpha to a Beta and an Omega, but the better an Alpha is, the less he will notice an ordinary and boring Beta like him, because there are too many dazzling Omega around them.Ethan has been attracted to Roland's tall and handsome appearance since he first saw him, and after getting along with him, his bold behavior and gentle tone made him irresistible.He never thought that such a handsome Alpha would be interested in him.

The odds that someone you secretly like happen to also like you are like an asteroid hitting the earth.If it was Ethan now, he might not believe it, but Ethan at that time hadn't experienced despair after all, and he would still have some unrealistic dreams.

Roland saw that Ethan was slow to speak, and cleared his throat, "I know you must think that I was a little too frivolous before, and at first I just wanted to tease you because of your reserved and calm appearance. But I found that I couldn't help it. Stop thinking about you."

Ethan looked down at the barely touched dinner on his plate, and said hesitantly, "I don't quite understand what you mean. I'm just a Beta."

"In my habit, if you meet something you like, you have to find a way to get it anyway." The distance between Roland and him drew closer, and his burning eyes were surrounded by hot blue flames. Touching Ethan's senses.There was a faint smell of smoke from his body, which was obviously a smell that Ethan didn't like, but mixed with the smell of Alpha hormone in this man's body, he became full of the charm of a conqueror.He gently took off Ethan's glasses and said in an affectionate voice, "Whether you are Beta, Omega or Alpha, I like you, your eyes, the way you push your glasses when you are nervous, and you are embarrassed When I was there, I still pretended to be calm.”

At that moment, Ethan felt as if he was going to melt away, and the defense he had worked so hard to maintain in the face of temptation suddenly collapsed.

When Roland leaned forward, when the skin with short beard rubbed against his own chin which was always shaved very smooth, when his lips were captured by another pair of full and powerful lips.Ethan didn't escape.He returns the kiss, which in fact turns into an even bigger smooch until Ethan spills his plate and knocks down the cutlery, and no one cares.They devour each other's body fluid and smell, like long-lost lovers.

A year later, when Ethan was imprisoned in the interrogation prison and recalled that night, there was only bitterness in his mouth.He thought that Roland had already done enough homework about him before meeting him for the second time, maybe even analyzed what kind of man he liked.

In that kiss, Roland must have been snickering in his heart.

It turned out that it was such an easy task to make the secretary of the dignified bureau chief corrupt.
