A gorgeous omegaverse BL manhwa that flips the script with an Alpha x Alpha pairing, delivering top-tier yearning and some of the most desperate, emotionally charged intimate scenes in the genre.
Synopsis
Two Alphas. A chance encounter. One fateful kiss. All his life, Karlyle Frost has lived under the strict guidance of his noble family. Burdened by responsibility and constant scrutiny over even his sex life, one day, he is diagnosed with orgasmic disorder. Following his doctor's suggestion to be intimate with someone who isn't an omega. Karlyle is introduced to Ash Jones, a fellow alpha and his brother-in-law Nicholas's ex-lover. Ash agrees to be Karlyle's partner for eight meetings as a favour to Nicholas— but unbeknownst to Ash. this isn't their first time sharing a kiss. Despite a rocky start and their promise to forgo all feelings, Ash, with his kind smiles, gentle caresses, and endearing voice, confuses Karlyle. Could it be possible, even by a sliver of a chance, that Karlyle isn't the only one falling in love?
