One Step Closer - PART 1

One Step Closer - 73💕

"Oh." Jimin stepped even closer. "You'd have wanted that?" his voice was teasing but Jungkook could tell the alpha was expecting something.

"Not like that but..." Jungkook averted his gaze. "You get it."

"No, I don't," Jimin said. "Elaborate. I don't want to read something wrong."

"I mean...if something were to happen between us..." Jungkook drawled. His heart beat so fast and he realized, he really wouldn't have minded if something were to happen. They already belonged to each other and it was only natural their wolves would want that intimacy. He knew nothing happened and Jimin had controlled his wolf. "I meant...You already have my consent."

Jimin smiled. "But not like this, Cherry Blossom. I want to look into your eyes and see it rolling back in pleasure when I'm inside you."

A shudder raked Jungkook's body right then. He couldn't help the glob of slick leaking out of him.

Jimin's grip tightened in response. "The worst that could have happened yesterday was me biting you and tying you to us for eternity."

Jungkook's lashes fluttered and his wolf whined in his chest. They wanted that. Oh, how badly he wanted that right then. It was believed that a bite united two souls and they always found their way to each other in every other life. Jungkook wanted that. It was something he never knew was possible.

"Alpha..."

Jimin dove to his neck, sucking over his scent gland and trailed his wet lips to a sensitive spot right beneath it—the sacred spot for mating. "I'll bite you right here," he said against his skin, kissing the spot sensually. "I'll never let you cover your neck so everyone can see how you belong to me. My omega. My mate."

Jungkook let out a needy whimper and Jimin bit over the spot, appeasing his omega. His bit didn't break the skin, but the intention was clear to his human and wolf. The alpha released the skin after a moment only to continue kissing and sucking on it.

The omega whined when the alpha pulled back. "You have to eat first," Jimin said. "You slept for too long, Cherry Blossom." He took his hand and kissed his knuckles before beginning to guide him to the dining table. "As much as I'd like to take you to bed and continue from where we left off, my wolf wants to feed you first. The cook made a hotpot with your favorite choice of meat, veggies and noodles."

Jungkook's wolf perked at the mention of food. The delicious aroma of food wafted to him as soon as Jimin removed the lid and his stomach rumbled shamelessly. "I love hotpot," he said sheepishly.

"All for you, sweetheart." Jimin sat him down and kissed on top of his head. "Watching you eat is one of my favorite things to do." He grabbed a bowl and other utensils for the omega.

"Won't you join me?" Jungkook asked him, eyes wide with hope.

Jimin's phone rang but the alpha silenced it. "I'd love to."

369. [Taegi's side]

Taehyung heard a knock and momentarily came out of his rambling session to see who it was. The gifts lay on the couch from where he opened it. Jimin was right. He didn't know why he didn't take any action yet. This was beginning to creep him out now.

Only his friends and manager knew about his new hideout. No one else knew where he was. But to receive a courting gift on the first night here was something else. It only meant he was being stalked and his stalker knew his whereabouts. Or one of his friends was purposefully messing with him.

He wasn't worried per se. It was just unsettling to know another alpha would dare to court him. The thought alone made him snort. A look through the peephole told him it was Yoongi on the other side. His friend held two paper bags in his hands, looking as if he just left work.
