Dolls Chapter 1.11

As Noah spoke while stroking Joy’s chest, Joy’s body trembled violently. In response to this reaction, Noah gently rubbed his chest, and Joy, on the verge of tears, said, “Hnn… it feels… it feels strange…”

“Strange? How so?”

“It’s… tingling… it keeps…”

“Keeps?”

“My lower stomach feels hot…”

“And?”

“I don’t know… I don’t understand…”

As Joy shook his head, tears streaming down his face, Noah gently cupped his cheeks and met his eyes. At that moment, Joy raised his arms, wrapped them around Noah’s neck, and softly kissed him. When Joy’s wet lips enveloped Noah’s lower lip, sucking gently and slipping his soft tongue inside, Noah fiercely sucked on that tongue.

“Hnn… hngh…”

The osmanthus scent grew even stronger. Overwhelmed by the sweet fragrance, Noah began to lose his reason. But the next moment, Joy’s words made Noah freeze in shock.

“Hnn… ahh… darling… Jace…”

In Joy’s pleasure-drunk eyes, it wasn’t Noah but Jace who was reflected.

Joy Green.

Deep, translucent auburn eyes, light brown hair, pale white skin, red lips. When those lips parted to whisper “Noah,” it felt as if the entire world existed just for him. Her voice calling his name was so sweet that he wished she would keep calling it, only that name, over and over again.

“Hnn… Jace…”

With the same face, voice, eyes, and lips as her… who was this omega calling another’s name? Who was it that, while looking at him, called out the name of someone he despised?

Noah untangled Joy’s arms from around him and pushed him onto the bed.

“Darling, huh. So, that’s something Jace Miller told you to say too?”

“Darling…?”

As Joy lay on the bed, blinking with a dazed expression, Noah sneered and said, “Calling anyone ‘darling’…”

“B-but… when you cherish each other, you call them darling… daddy said…”

“Hah!”

Noah let out a scornful laugh with an icy glare, causing Joy to tremble in fear. He had only spoken as he was negar taught, as he had been told, but his words seemed to keep angering this man named Noah, and Joy grew increasingly frightened.

“Hnngh.”

But despite the fear, his body, burning with heat against his will, kept growing aroused, his penis standing erect and dripping clear fluid. Seeing this, Noah’s brow furrowed, and he spoke coldly to Joy.

“I’m not going to cherish you, and I have no intention of doing anything for you.”

“Hn… hnn…”

“So, endure it. I might have helped if you’d been more charming, but… you missed your chance.”

Joy looked up at Noah with despairing eyes. Noah’s penis had already softened, regaining its normal state. Adjusting himself, Noah looked at Joy with an impassive gaze and then left the room. The faint sound of the door locking from the outside echoed.

Curled up on the bed, Joy felt his throbbing chest and soaking lower parts, sobbing. This feeling was new. The scent emanating from the man called Noah kept stimulating him. He had done his best, as he was taught, but what had he done wrong?

The lavender scent, which he thought would fade when Noah left, lingered in the room, tormenting Joy. Large tears fell from his eyes.

“Hnngh… daddy… daddy…”

Joy’s hands, clutching the bedsheet, trembled uncontrollably.

Leaving instructions with the butler, Lionel, to closely monitor the room with the lab subjects, Noah turned to order AE70 and OE70 to be placed in separate rooms before heading to the study.

— Darling, huh. Jace? What nonsense.

Anger flared in Noah’s eyes. Entering the study, Noah sat on the sofa, closed his eyes, and leaned back. The lingering scent of osmanthus seemed to cling to his senses. Muttering a quiet curse, Noah rubbed his face. That was close. If that omega hadn’t called Jace’s name, he might have embraced him.

— Why? Just because he looks like her?

Sighing, Noah leaned his head back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with a bitter laugh.

“Noah Seyfried. What are you doing?”

He had taken the “items” as the Pers family wanted. But Noah had no intention of using them. Since he had accepted them as they wished, how he handled them was up to him, wasn’t it? He planned to leave them in this large house, barely noticed, ignored. Over time, he would find another excuse to avoid creating more beings like himself.

But to get aroused by an omega, of all things.

“Joy Green. I didn’t want to meet you like this…”

Noah’s eyes reddened.

“Dr. Jace Miller requests a meeting.”

At the secretary’s words, Adrian looked up.

“Dr. Miller? That’s unusual.”

Adrian nodded. As the secretary left, Jace entered, dressed in casual clothes.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you out of a lab coat.”

“Chairman.”

“Yes. What’s this about?”

With a bored tone, Adrian gestured, and Jace sat on the sofa, handing over some documents.

“What’s this?”

“Confidential documents regarding OE01.”

“Confidential?”

When Adrian asked, Jace responded with a serious expression.

“The truth is…”

Jace took a sip of water, as if his throat was dry, and paused. Annoyed, Adrian frowned and said, “The truth?”

“OE01 is different from the other omegas.”

“Of course. It’s the omega you begged to create from your ‘acquaintance,’ isn’t it?”

Adrian emphasized the word “acquaintance,” and Jace clenched his fist slightly. Seeing this, Adrian gave a small laugh.

“Besides that.”

“Besides?”

“OE01 has unique characteristics.”

“Characteristics?”

“You’re aware that creating OE01 involved many failures.”

“Yes. It cost quite a bit for an incentive.”

“Despite repeated failures, I was determined to complete OE01. Since the original subject was already dead, I couldn’t use the same methods as with other omegas, so I took a different approach.”

“…”

“The variant virus in OE01 is an active virus.”

“What?”

Adrian’s face turned cold. The virus that created alphas and omegas had long been eradicated. Pers Corporation had developed and distributed a vaccine to eliminate the variant virus decades ago. An active virus?

“That’s nonsense.”

“It’s true.”

“How is that possible?”

“Because the original subject, Joy Green, was a host for the active virus.”

“…”

“You must know about the experiments conducted on Joy Green and Noah Seyfried.”

“They failed.”

“Yes.”

“Noah is alive and well. No mutations.”

“Correct. But with OE01, carrying an active virus, can he remain unaffected?”

Jace handed Adrian the documents.

“These are last week’s virus levels.”

“…”

“I’ve been suppressing the virus with vaccines, but now… I’m not sure. It’s possible the heat cycle has already begun…”

“…”

“OE01’s heat cycles have been forcibly suppressed by me, but if the pent-up pheromones are released all at once, who knows what could happen…”

Before Jace could finish, Adrian left the room. A faint smile curled on Jace’s lips.

“Hnngh… hnn… daddy… daddy…”

Curled up on the floor beneath the bed, scratching at it, Joy’s body was drenched. Unable to handle the rising heat, Joy felt stimulated even by the bedsheet brushing against him and had collapsed onto the bare floor where nothing touched him.
