His Match Is an Interstellar Monster

Chapter 33: Deep Bonding

The main suite where Landis and Xiao Sa lived had a small living area at the entryway, with the bedroom and entertainment room on either side.

Xiao Sa opened the door to the bedroom, but there was no one inside.

"Landis?" Xiao Sa checked each room, and finally, in the closet, he smelled a familiar scent.

There were sporadic dark red bloodstains on the carpet, along with a few empty inhibitor tubes that had been emptied.

As Xiao Sa took a step closer, a low and stern voice came from the closet, "Don't come any closer! Leave here now!"

"I refuse, this is my room as well," Xiao Sa said, simply removing his shoes and socks, stepping barefoot on the soft, handmade carpet, approaching the closet step by step.

He opened the closet door, and what had once been neatly hung clothes inside were now strewn in a corner as if they had been through a robbery.

A figure had one leg drawn up, their head buried deep in their arms, allowing the pile of clothes to bury him.

Xiao Sa looked closely and realized these were clothes he had worn, with faint pheromone traces lingering on them.

He felt both exasperated and amused. Why hold onto a pile of clothes when a living person was right here?

"Landis..." He bent down, reaching out to touch Landis' golden hair.

Landis' reaction was violent. He suddenly swatted away Xiao Sa's hand, lifting his head abruptly. Under his bangs, Xiao Sa saw that the icy blue eyes were now golden vertical pupils, non-human in nature.

Those non-human eyes stared fixedly at Xiao Sa, the pupils shrunk into narrow slits.

His military uniform had been discarded, and the once neat and tidy white shirt was now wrinkled, the buttons on his chest missing. His muscles were tense, his breathing rapid and heavy, filled with boundless explosive power.

Landis was like an enraged lion, suddenly lunging at Xiao Sa, casting a shadow over him.

He raised one hand to strike Xiao Sa violently—

Xiao Sa narrowed his eyes but didn't move at all, feeling the sharp wind like a blade, cutting across his cheek.

With a sharp, ear-piercing sound, Landis' hand just brushed Xiao Sa's hair and slammed into the wall. Sharp nails sank deep into it, dust and debris falling down.

Xiao Sa deeply furrowed his brow, watching Landis slowly retract his hand from the wall.

His fingertips were extremely sharp, curved like the claws of some feline animal, and the blood oozing from his fingers trailed down along the gaps between them.

"I'm not joking," said Landis, his voice hoarse like a broken bellows, as he struggled to suppress the violent, bloodthirsty urge to tear everything apart, "Leave immediately, or I don't know what I might do."

He didn't want anyone to see him in such a wretched state, especially not Xiao Sa.

"I leave?" Xiao Sa repeated in a low voice, a cold laugh slipping out, "And what about you? Am I supposed to just leave you like this?"

Landis turned his face away, slowly rising from Xiao Sa's side and sitting back in the shadowy corner.

"Caro will bring Doctor Sommerk over soon," he said. "As for the healers from the Royal Association, I don't trust them. I've already injected the inhibitor, and I can control my own condition. Don't interfere with or worry about it."

"I'll punish Caro later. He's been far too meddlesome. I've already ordered him not to reach out to you."

Xiao Sa narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Landis, your self-righteousness is really infuriating sometimes."

He seized Landis' injured hand, firmly gripping his wrist. Landis instinctively tried to pull away but felt as if his hand had been caught in a steel vice, unable to free himself for a moment.

A small, moist, warm sensation suddenly touched his fingertip, causing Landis to jolt in surprise as he looked up in shock at Xiao Sa.

Xiao Sa's amber eyes remained intently fixed on Landis as he opened his mouth, his warm, wet tongue gently licking Landis' bleeding finger, even sucking it lightly, removing the blood.

Landis' fingers stiffened, not daring to move, fearing his sharp nails would hurt the other man.

The pheromones in Xiao Sa's saliva, upon contact with the wound, instantly caused a tingling sensation. Landis' entire arm began to tremble uncontrollably.

*That feeling again...*

It was as if all the blood in his body was rushing and surging in reverse. He desperately wanted to pull his hand back, but every cell in his body was crying out for more.

His mental sea had been torn into two. One part still clung to reason, wanting Xiao Sa to leave and stay far away. The other part was screaming to possess him, to tear him apart, to completely make him a part of his own flesh, fully satiating the insatiable hunger.

"Xiao Sa..." Landis' voice was so hoarse that it barely resembled his own.

In the end, long-built reason prevailed. He slowly and firmly withdrew his hand, his dark golden pupils quivering slightly, "Xiao Sa, leave, please. I beg you. I don't want to do something I'll regret for the rest of my life."

Xiao Sa was stunned. Nothing shocked him more than hearing the word "beg" from Landis' lips.

The cramped space of the wardrobe made it difficult for him to move freely.

Xiao Sa climbed out of the closet, and Landis couldn't quite tell whether he felt disappointment or relief.

Unexpectedly, a massive figure suddenly darted out from beside Landis and pounced on Xiao Sa from behind.

Instinctively, Xiao Sa dodged and swept his leg, but a pair of furry black paws grabbed onto his thigh.

Hei Yan clung onto him with all four limbs, his furry big head rubbing frantically against Xiao Sa's thigh, his thick tail wrapping tightly around his ankle, effectively throwing a fit to stop him from leaving.

"Hei Yan!" Landis looked displeased as he grabbed Hei Yan by the scruff of his neck and forcefully dragged him back, issuing a stern command through their mental connection.

But his condition was extremely poor, and his mental state was on the verge of losing control, hanging by a thread.

Xiao Sa looked at the two of them, speechless. It was like the same person's consciousness had split into two personalities—one desperately pushing him away, while the other one clung to him, refusing to let go.

It turned out that when you were speechless, you actually wanted to laugh.

"Landis, look at you. Can't you be as straightforward as your mental entity? You're dying for me to stay with you."

Landis's veins on his neck bulged, and his temples throbbed. He was breathing heavily, panting.

He felt his sanity was on the verge of breaking down. "I don't want the incident on the warship to happen again. Why can't you understand?!"

The warship incident?

Xiao Sa looked at him, puzzled, then suddenly thought of something. "Wait, could it be that you've misunderstood something?"

Could it be that Landis had forgotten how Xiao Sa had beaten him and Hei Yan up on the warship? Did he instead think that he had forced himself on Xiao Sa?

Xiao Sa's face fell instantly. Could it be that Landis's proposal was because he wanted to take responsibility for what he thought happened?

Whatever happened to love at first sight and being attracted to his body?!

Xiao Sa coldly snorted, without any further restraint, a powerful wave of pheromones emanated recklessly from the back of his neck, spreading instantly through the entire room.

A rich tequila scent, like a resilient spider's web, enveloped both Landis and Hei Yan, enfolding them tightly.

Landis froze instantly, his breath filled with the familiar and longed-for scent of his mate.

His already unstable mental sea was once again intensely stimulated by Xiao Sa's pheromones, and in his mind, a taut string snapped completely.

The frenzied beating of the heart caused ear-ringing, and it felt like the heart was about to burst out of his chest.

His vision started to blur: the room faded away, the black fog dissipated, and those images of anger, sorrow, fear, and cruelty gradually faded away from him.

It was as if the entire world only had one figure left, a person with deep brown short hair and a pair of deep amber eyes, now standing in front of him, within arm's reach.

Landis's dark golden vertical pupils grew even darker. Black Flame suddenly broke free from his grip, pouncing onto Xiao Sa first, but Landis, standing up, kicked it away.

The entire lion rolled inside the closet, buried beneath layers of disheveled clothes.

Landis knew that he could not hold back any longer tonight.

He suddenly reached out and pushed Xiao Sa against the wall, his broad chest pinning him, kissing him with fierce passion.

The skin all over his body felt like it was on fire, and only skin-to-skin contact could relieve the unbearable heat.

Landis's kiss was fierce, like a hungry beast devouring its prey.

The wet heat of his tongue forcefully invaded Xiao Sa's mouth, like a lion patrolling its territory, seeking to conquer every inch, marking it with his own scent.

Xiao Sa's alpha instincts were completely enraged by Landis's territorial behavior.

He kissed back fiercely, refusing to yield, forcefully pushing back, then returning the invasion.

The verbal duel between the two was intensely fierce. Landis breathed heavily, no longer content with merely kissing his lips.

A storm of kisses quickly landed on Xiao Sa's cheeks, eyes, eyebrows, and nose, as Landis fiercely imitated the way Black Flame had licked Xiao Sa's face.

Xiao Sa's cheeks itched, and he couldn't help laughing: "Landis, are you secretly jealous of your spirit beast?"

Completely immersed in the hot kiss, Landis ignored the awkward question.

Instinctively, he sought out the most concentrated area of pheromones on the side of Xiao Sa's neck, slowly licking and kissing his Adam's apple.

His sharp teeth pressed against the burning skin, the clinging friction as if he were about to bite down, to extract more of the sweet scent of pheromones.

The skin near the Alpha gland was the most sensitive. Xiao Sa chuckled deeply, his warm and damp palm sliding up Landis's nape as he growled, "I'll allow you a few more kisses today, and I'll collect the interest later..."

He forcefully gripped Landis's slender waist, spun them around in one swift motion, and pinned the other man against the wall, changing positions with him.

Their foreheads were pressed together, and their noses touched.

"Landis, have you had your fill of kissing? Now it's my turn, don't you think?"

Before the man could respond, Xiao Sa had already sunk his teeth into his throat, and Landis groaned, his sword-like brows deeply furrowed.

Xiao Sa lingered on the side of Landis' neck, where two faint bite marks remained, where he had previously marked him twice before.

He remembered how his pheromones had surged into Landis' veins, making him shudder as he was forced to submit.

But today, he wasn't here to leave just a temporary mark.

During their fierce confrontation, Xiao Sa's clothes had long been torn to shreds. Landis' exposed chest heaved violently, a thin layer of sweat forming. Beads of sweat slid down his chest, passing over a faint pink scar before disappearing into his pants along his abs.

Landis had broad shoulders, but his waist was narrow and taut. Xiao Sa's hand, which was on the back of his neck, slowly moved down, grazing over the ridges of his shoulder blades.

As if unable to endure the touch, Landis' back arched slightly, his muscles tensing. His bulging pectorals pressed tightly against Xiao Sa's, their hearts seemingly beating in unison through their thin skin.

"Xiao Sa..." Landis softly called his name, his searing lips brushing against Xiao Sa's earlobe.

His mind was dizzy, driven solely by the instinct to claim his mate, but he hadn't expected that the other would possess even greater strength, thoroughly suppressing him.

His throat was parched, his voice hoarse and unrecognizable. A deep flush of pleasure spread across the corners of Landis' eyes as he gazed, entranced, at Xiao Sa.

Looking at Landis like that, Xiao Sa was suddenly jolted back to the times they had sparred in the training ground with their mechs.

On the battlefield, he was a natural-born king.

Facing Xiao Sa's fierce attacks, Landis had always reined in his desire to attack, only defending.

Even though Xiao Sa was entirely protected by the hard metal shell of his mech, Landis seemed to fear that exerting a little more force might harm even a single hair on him.

"If you're going to keep letting me win, then I'll stop holding back."

Xiao Sa maneuvered his mech, relentlessly launching fierce attacks on Landis' position.

"Your psychic energy frequency is a little too fast," Landis' slightly breathless voice echoed in the comms.

"Oh, how about this then?" Xiao Sa pulled the control stick, maintaining his attacking stance as he unholstered his particle cannon, blocking Landis' retreat.

The other party did not dodge or evade but instead came forward to defuse the attack while instructing Xiao Sa on his shooting in the chat channel.

The cunning Xiao Sa used the fake move he had just learned to exploit Landis' cooldown period, and then landed several heavy high-energy particle cannon shots, finally forcing Landis to strike back.

Landis completely viewed Xiao Sa as a novice, without providing any explanation.

He had his own understanding of mech combat, but he enjoyed engaging in combat and exchanging insights with someone as strong as Landis even more. Through the interplay of the two systems, he learned more advanced techniques.

Whether as a partner or a mentor, Landis was thoroughly dedicated.

Xiao Sa couldn't yet dominate Landis in mech combat, but at least in the bedroom, he could just about manage to...

※※※

In the bedroom, the curtains were tightly drawn, not letting in a single ray of light. The central canopy was lowered, concealing the two figures inside.

The rich and thick tequila scent intertwined with the cool cedar, filling every inch of space.

Xiao Sa tightly held Landis, nonchalantly pushing his sweat-soaked bangs to the back of his head, revealing a broad and smooth forehead, his amber eyes becoming increasingly deep and sharp.

He firmly restrained Landis, unquestionably suppressing all his movements, like a black panther that had thoroughly captured its prey, savoring his prize meticulously.

The body in his arms was neither soft nor delicate, with a physique matching his own.

They were equally strong and ambitious, like two fierce beasts contesting for territory. Finally, one side was utterly defeated and then fully marked as the victor's omega.

Xiao Sa narrowed his eyes, an unparalleled sense of satisfaction in his gaze.

"Mmm..." Landis tightly hugged Xiao Sa's back, breathing in his pheromones deeply.

At some point, his golden vertical pupils had gradually returned to their original icy blue, sweat-soaked golden hair clinging to his cheeks, his forehead covered in sweat.

He covered his eyes with the back of his hand, but Xiao Sa pulled it away, insisting on looking into his expression at that moment.

Only today did Landis suddenly realize that he had made a huge mistake—he had mistaken Xiao Sa, who was lazily basking in the sun by the roadside, for a homeless stray pup.

"Xiao Sa..." His icy blue eyes reflected the perfectly handsome face of Xiao Sa.

Xiao Sa's face was flushed, his bare upper body muscular and well-defined, his firm chest rising and falling smoothly with his breath.

He hummed in response, lowering his head to kiss Landis on the corner of his mouth. His voice was a lazy rasp, exuding an irresistible scent of hormones from head to toe.

Landis's breath hitched, a fiery tingling sensation spreading through him. He closed his eyes tightly and then opened them again, unable to resist as he wrapped his arms around Xiao Sa's neck, tilting his head up to kiss him deeply once more.

Xiao Sa chuckled softly, his fingers tracing Landis's neck, his sharp canines pressing into his skin as he felt the veins pulsing beneath.

He murmured lowly, "Dessert time..."

As his teeth broke the skin, a torrent of pheromones poured into Landis's veins again. Landis's hands clenched the bedsheets tightly, his entire body trembling violently, his golden hair disheveled and covering his face.

His cheeks and chest flushed a deep red, like a boiled shrimp. Nearly every cell in his body was stirred into trembling ecstasy, each nerve ending joyously welcoming the primal craving.

Something unfamiliar was subtly changing within his body.

With this stimulation, the sharp scent of snow cedar emanating from him grew increasingly intense.

Xiao Sa, hugging him tightly, took a deep breath, nuzzling his chest and inhaling the fresh woody fragrance, with its icy chill and coolness, like licking a vanilla ice cream cone on a hot summer day, bringing immense comfort and pleasure.

An invisible psychic energy field waved through invisible psychic threads, firmly connecting them.

"Landis, open your mental sea and accept me..."

Xiao Sa's voice had a certain enchanting quality, naturally inducing comfort and immersion.

Surrounded by the pervasive scent of his partner's pheromones, the fullness was especially reassuring. Landis lowered his guard, slowly closing his eyes, allowing Xiao Sa to sink into the depths of his mental sea...
