An Honest Beta, but a Hulking Bodyguard

[Thank you so much, everyone, for loving this story.] [My next Double A novel is I'm Your Brother: a twisted brother-obsessed younger man × a tough guy. It's an age-gap romance with the younger one on top. If you're interested, please add it to your favorites!] Blurb: Pei Lin is an honest Beta who only wants to get rich. Formerly a mercenary, he stands 185 centimeters tall, is packed with muscle, and has energy to spare. On an acquaintance's recommendation, he lands an easy, high-paying bodyguard job. His charge is a delicate, frail-looking 19-year-old Alpha. How hard can protecting a kid be compared to going to war? Pei Lin is overjoyed. Surely getting rich is just around the corner. Song Wenshao is an SSS-rank Alpha whose pheromones are extremely unstable, the Song family's ultimate weapon, heir to a top-tier wealthy clan. Yet he has waist-length hair and delicate features as lovely as a porcelain doll. He's so beautiful that people often mistake him for an Omega. Aside from his 190-centimeter height, his slender waist looks as if it could be held in one hand, and he seems as delicate as a long-haired beauty who might topple over in the slightest breeze. Song Wenshao hates having people near him. But somehow, there's a thickheaded Beta keeping him under constant surveillance. Well, he can't blame Song Wenshao for being petty and demanding. Pei Lin's job starts getting strange. At first, all he has to do is protect Song Wenshao whenever he goes out. But gradually, he's expected to be on call at Song's side around the clock. Eventually, Song even needs him to soothe him during his heat. The demands of Pei Lin's job get strange, too. What began as a normal client-and-contractor relationship turns into a rule that he can't look at anyone else during the day, and has to sleep in the same bed at night. Song Wenshao's explanation is simple and blunt: As a bodyguard, Pei Lin should obey every order. Pei Lin hypnotizes himself: The kid is at that delicate age. Pei Lin's boundaries retreat again and again, from allowing a little licking, to agreeing to a bite, to somehow ending up in bed together, until his legs are too weak to get up afterward. He grits his teeth and puts up with every unreasonable demand, telling himself the kid is young and doesn't know any better. But he can't understand how someone who looks so gentle and frail can be so strong. He's pinned down without the slightest chance to fight back. Why can some people act meek and helpless in bed while being so ruthless they're practically trying to kill him? - At last, Pei Lin has saved enough to retire. He promptly hands in his resignation. Though he loves money more than life itself, he grits his teeth and gives up a seven-figure year-end bonus, then runs away in the middle of the night. If he doesn't run, not only will his back be ruined, but he might lose his life, too. The instant Song Wenshao sees the resignation letter, his eyes turn cold and vicious, yet his smile is captivating. After all this time together, doesn't Pei Lin know how possessive he is? He won't allow anyone he's claimed as his own to even think about leaving. Anyone who tries to run should be caught and locked in a lightless room until they give in.
