Chapter 343: Pheromones

[How should I explain it? She already knows about the long-lived races and that I’m a dragon and she is my mate. It should be fine to tell her.]

"It’s like this, aside from the fact that your scent smells really good and is pleasing, it is riddled with pheromones," Ferdinand began to explain what makes him crazy about her scent.

Ferdinand said that the stronger the scent, the stronger the pheromones. And it doesn’t affect just him. Those who can smell her scent are affected as well since they can smell her pheromones too.

"I’m already addicted to your scent. And your pheromones make me unable to control my lust and desire for you. Oh, I’m not trying to make excuses for me trying to touch you as much as I can every night, but it’s true that your scent and your pheromones have a part in it. I already crave for you like crazy and yet your pheromones make it twice as worse or even more," Ferdinand rained her neck with kisses and Arabella tilted her head to give him more access.

They should be focusing on his explanation, but she couldn’t resist the temptation. It felt so nice. She bit her index finger to stop her moans since Rendell may be able to hear them outside. She’s not sure if this room also had a soundproofing spell.

"Even if you muffle your voice like that, some sounds still escape. And they are so beautiful and enticing too," Ferdinand smooched her on the cheek.

"Geez. Finish your explanation first," Arabella said before she gets too distracted to listen.

Her husband was delighted to see he could affect her like this too. She wanted to smack him for the self-satisfied smirk on his face, but she cannot hit his precious face.

She gave him a warning glare before he finally continued his explanation.

"Aside from your divine beauty and charm, your pheromones are among the reasons why so many men are attracted to you."

Ferdinand explained that humans could smell pheromones too but usually unconsciously, unlike the long-lived races. It was why humans are usually attracted to those whose scent they like.

He added that pheromones usually only affect those of the same kind, but Arabella’s affect him so strongly even though he’s a dragon. It was probably because she was his mate.

But the others were still able to pick up her scent and know the scent of her pheromones though it doesn’t do as much to them as it does to him. They could just smell it. However, continuous exposure on a daily basis would be something else.

This was why Ferdinand was apparently picky on whom he could entrust Arabella to.

Those who have mates are usually unaffected, so Raymond was fine. But sometimes, when a pheromone is too strong and overpowering, even those who already have mates could be tempted.

Ferdinand had long been unaffected by pheromones. Primordial dragons were usually unaffected since they were not geared for reproduction. It wasn’t included when they were created.

But when the God of Dragons wanted them to have mates and children, he made a bit of tweaking for them to be affected by pheromones as well and be attracted to their kind.

It still didn’t work though, or their mates were simply not born yet at the time. Because when the God of Dragons asked the Fates, the Goddesses of Destiny, for help, the primordial dragons began to find their mates.

Ferdinand did as well and now he was easily affected by Arabella’s pheromones when he used to be unaffected by it.

"Your pheromones are so strong. It was why a lot of men go crazy even just after being in your presence once. Add your natural charms and we are your slaves. I don’t blame them for falling for you, but I will never give you up to anyone. You are mine alone," Ferdinand kissed the back of her hand repeatedly.

"Aren’t you exaggerating?"

She did have a lot of suitors, but it wasn’t like they were mindless fools. They simply wanted to get a taste of her. Something everyone wanted. Be the one to be able to call her theirs. And that was it. They were ready to discard her after they had their fill and were done with bragging, they got to own her once.

They were never her slaves in the first place. They were the ones who merely wanted to use her. They gave her gifts and showered her with praise because they were expecting something in return. They thought they would be able to reap what they sow and more. Make her their property and a breeding sow, or simply discard her when they’re done.

That was how disgusting the thoughts she had been getting from everyone were. There were indeed those who had honest and true feelings like Icarus and Andrew. But most were just people who wanted to use her and discard her later once she had no use or value.

"I’m not exaggerating. There are also days in each month when your pheromones are the strongest. It makes me want to attack you, but I have been holding back. I won’t though after we have our first. I will definitely attack you on such days later and enlighten you on what it does to me," Ferdinand warned her.

"Then, I’ll be looking forward to it," Arabella beamed, and her husband gave her a long deep kiss.

"You better remember these words. I won’t let you off even if you beg me, later," his eyes glinted.

’Oh my, why did I egg him on? I already just how rough he could be in bed,’ Arabella felt the heat rise to her face.

"Fine. Whatever. That will be for later. Just continue your explanation first," she fanned her face with her hands and Ferdinand chuckled.

[She’s so adorable. I’ll let her off for now since I must hold back. But I will enlighten her in the future just how much being apart from her for even just a bit makes me miss her so much. I will let her feel just how much I yearn for her. Even now, I want to hold her even tighter but I’m afraid I might break her bones.]
